Thanks for reviewing guys! xx

"Wow breakfast in bed Mr Jordan, I am impressed!" Zoe grinned, as she sat up in bed. Nick walked in, handing her a tray of food that he had cooked up and sat on the bed beside her. He gave her a quick peck on the lips, "anything to keep you happy Dr Hanna". Zoe smiled; she loved how Nick treated her like a princess. "I could get used to my own personal naked chef" she winked at Nick who was sat in just his boxers. He chuckled and winked back, taking a sip of his coffee.

Their doorbell rang and Nick and Zoe looked at each other quizzically, wondering who would be visiting them at 6'oclock in the morning. It was still dark outside, but they had to be up and ready for their early shift. They rarely had visitors so were both puzzled. Zoe looked at Nick; hinting for him to go and get the door. He read her well, and jumped up off the bed, picking up his dressing gown and trying to make himself look half presentable before hurrying downstairs.

He unlocked the door and opened it slightly, until he saw who was standing at his doorstep... It was two policemen. He had been working with the police for the past couple of weeks, informing them of Yvonne's disappearance with his children, but this seemed different; it looked formal, serious.

"Hello" Nick greeted them.

"Nick Jordan?" one of the policemen asked. Nick nodded in reply. "Can we come in?" he continued.

"Course" Nick replied, moving out of the way to allow the policemen in. He closed the door behind them and ushered them into the kitchen, where he closely followed behind.

"How can I help you?" Nick asked, leaning against the kitchen work top.

"Maybe we should sit down?" The second policeman spoke, gesturing towards the table.

Nick walked over to the table, pulled a seat out and sat down; both policemen followed him and did the same, sitting the opposite side of the table to Nick.

"This must be serious" Nick said "I only sit people down when it's important" he chuckled.

"Mr Jordan, this is a very serious matter" The first policeman began, taking his hat off.

"We believe your ex partner is Superintendent Yvonne Rippon, is that correct?" The second policeman asked.

"Yes that's correct" Nick replied, quizzically raising his eyebrows. He had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach, worried about what they were going to say next.

"Mr Jordan, Yvonne Rippon was found dead at her mother's home this morning"

Nick froze in complete shock, 'dead', she couldn't be he said to himself. After a few seconds Nick managed to ask "what happened?"

"We don't know yet, a full investigation is under way" They informed him.

"We do believe that it was suicide" One of the policemen announced.

"Suicide?" Nick chocked. She couldn't have, she wouldn't have done that to their children.

"We believe so, but we can't say for certain" They continued.

"What about my children?" he asked, worried that they now had no one.

"The children are in the care of Mrs Rippon, Yvonne's mother for the time being, but of course, social services will become involved, due to the circumanstances of her death".

Nick nodded to show that he agreed. He knew he had a very high chance of getting full custody of his children now, but that was the last thing on his mind. He couldn't help but thinking that this was his entire fault. If he hadn't of had the affair with Zoe, then things would have been different; he would be living with his children and Yvonne... Yvonne would still be alive. Tears began to form in his eyes as he beat himself up. He looked up from his gaze, to see Zoe walking into the kitchen; still in her dressing gown too.

"Oh hello" she said as she saw the policemen sitting at her table.

The policemen stood up from the table as Zoe walked in. She walked over and introduced herself "Zoe Hanna" she smiled, but she then noticed the look on Nick's face and knew that this wasn't a happy call.
"Nick what's going on?" She asked, keeping her eyes fixed to his face. He looked at her and tears began to stream down his face. She quickly rushed over and wrapped her arms around him, rubbing her hand through his hair.

"We will be in touch" The policemen said and then soon left, leaving Nick to take in the information and to tell Zoe for himself.

Zoe still had no idea what was going on and was completely confused with what had just happened. "Shh it's alright" She soothed Nick, liked a child, rubbing her hand up and down his back. It wasn't like Nick to get this upset, so she knew whatever it was must have been serious. She had never seen him like this before; he was completely broken.

"What's happened?" Zoe whispered, giving him time to answer, he eventually sobbed "Yvonne's dead".

"Oh Nick" Zoe whispered, gripping him even tighter, trying her best to comfort him at this time. She didn't know what to do with him, he was completely sobbing and she wasn't sure what to say for the best, she just continued to hug him, letting him know that she was there.
