Chapter 14
Authors note: Hi so I've decided to have keep the peace in this story but later on and someone else will get injured instead of Greg because he will have already retired by that point in the story. Sorry. Anyway here is the next chapter!
Sarge's retirement party was a small one for team one and their families, a few of Greg's friends and a few members if the SRU so it was held in the briefing room. The table had been changed into a buffet table and people were standing around it chatting. In one corner of the room the children were playing with Spike who had been volunteered to look after them by Ed although all the parents were keeping an eye on them as well. A few hours into the party, Jules decides that it's time to take the children home.
"Sam I'm going to take the kids home now. You coming with us or staying here for a bit longer?" She says
"I'll come with you." He says and picks up Will's car seat and heads towards Greg. Jules explains to everyone that they need to get home and get the children into bed and then they say goodbye to Greg and leave.
The next day, Sam and Jules are getting lunch ready when Jenny's loud wails suddenly fill the air and Sam and Jules both rush into the living room to find her sitting on the floor sobbing.
"What happened?" Jules asks lifting Jenny into her arms and rocking her.
"Jenny fell over and banged her head on the table mama!" Tori says hugging her twin sisters legs. Jules nods and sits down on the sofa, sitting Jenny sideways on her lap, still rocking her.
"Where did you hurt yourself Jen?" She asks and Jenny points to her eye that was already starting to turn into what looked like a black eye. "Sam can you go and get some ice or a pack of frozen peas or something and wrap it in a cloth and bring it to me please?" Jules asks and Sam nods and goes into the kitchen to get what Jules needs.
"Do you think we need to take her to the doctors?" Jules asks as Sam come back into the room with an I've pack and hands it to her.
"I don't know babe. Maybe. I'll ring up the doctors and find out if you want." Sam offers and Jules nods.
"No mama." Jenny cries pushing the ice away.
"Sweetie it will help I promise. Let mummy put the ice on your bump ok?" Jules says and after protesting a bit more, Jenny finally gives in.
"The doctor said to bring her in to get her eye checked out. Luckily they had a free slot for later today so I've booked an appointment." Sam says when he comes back into the room.
A couple hours later, Sam and Jules arrive back home after taking Jenny to the doctors. Spike, who had been babysitting, meets them at the door.
"So?" He asks
"She's fine. It's just a bump, her vision is fine and the bruise will go down in time." Sam replies and Spike nods.
"Good. I just put Will and Lucas down for their naps. Mia is in the living room waiting for you. She says she's not going to go to bed until one of you tuck her in and I didn't push her to go upstairs in case she had a tantrum and woke the boys up." He says.
"Thanks and thanks for coming on such short notice Spike." Jules says walking into the living room and picking Mia up. "Come on them princess, let's get you to bed, say night night to daddy and uncle Spike." Mia blows kisses to Sam and Spike as Jules carries her upstairs to bed.
*That evening*
"Jenny still asleep?" Sam asks as Jules climbs into bed beside him.
"Yeah, she's fine." Jules replies resting her head on Sam's chest.
"What's wrong then?" Sam asks and Jules looks up at him.
"What do you mean?" She asks
"You've been quiet all afternoon and I know you well enough to know that something is up." He replies and Jules sighs.
"We can't both stay on team one Sam!" She blurts out. "We're not wen suppose to be dating yet here we are with a baby and we're engaged."
"Babe you don't need to worry about that." Sam says kissing the top of Jules' head.
"Why?"
"I spoke to the commander last night and he said that when you come back after your maternity leave, I'll transfer to team three. Now what's really the matter?"
"That's it. Nothing else is the matter." She says hoping that Sam won't see through her lie.
"Yeah right. What's wrong Jules?"
"I just keep wondering if Jenny would have still hurt herself if one of us had been in the room." Jules says after a while.
"Babe, Jenny's fine ok? Don't think like that ok? Jenny is fine, there is nothing we can do to change what had happened but the important thing is that Jenny is ok, right?"
"Right." Jules agrees before switching off the beside lamp and smuggling into Sam's side and promptly falling asleep.
AN: This was just a filler chapter. I don't really like it but oh well! The next chapter will be better I promise! Please review!
