Chapter 29- Judgement Day

Phil pulled up outside Sun Hill Station 10minutes later. He and Sam were the only ones from the nick in court and he wanted to let Jack and Gina know what was happening. Phil entered the station and saw Gina and Jack talking at the front desk, Gina looked over Jack's shoulder and saw Phil enter, 'what's happening at the court?' she asked.

Jack turned around to see who she was speaking to and smiled when he realised it was Phil. 'The jury have gone home for the night,' Phil replied.

'How's Sam coping?' Jack asked.

'Yeah, she's OK. The defence are playing the self-defence card, of course,'

'Lets just hope the jury see though it,' Gina said.

'So do I. For Sam's sake if nothing else, I don't know how she'll react if Stuart does get off,'

'By this time tomorrow, you'll know the outcome,' Jack said optimistically.

Phil smiled weakly, 'I'd better be off,' he replied.

'We'll see you tomorrow Phil,' Gina called after him.

'Yeah Ok,' Phil called back as he left the station.

Phil got back into his car and drove off, pulling up outside a Chinese takeaway 5minutes later. He got his and Sam's dinner and got back into his car. He pulled up outside his and Sam's house a few minutes later. He opened the door of the house and stepped inside, locking the door behind him. Phil looked up and saw Sam stood at the top of the stairs, wearing one of his work shirts and a black lacy underwear set. 'Dinner's here,' Phil said as he put the bag containing the takeaway beside the phone.

Sam smiled seductively at him as she began to descend the staircase. Phil smiled back at her as he stood at the foot of the stairs. 'You like?' Sam asked as she stopped a couple of steps from the bottom.

'No, I don't like,' Phil replied and watched Sam's face fall. 'I love it.'

Sam smiled at him once again, 'come here gorgeous,' Phil said.

Sam wrapped her arms around Phil's neck and he lifted her up so that Sam's legs were wrapped around his waist. Phil rested his head against Sam's, 'lets eat,' he said.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About half an hour later, Sam and Phil had finished their Chinese and he was in the living room. Sam came through a few minutes later and straddled Phil's lap. He leant forwards and kissed Sam softly on the lips and began to stroke her thigh. Phil pulled away slightly, 'you are so sexy Sam,' he whispered as he trailed kisses down Sam's neck.

'You've only just noticed?' Sam asked.

'No I haven't baby. Believe me, I noticed on your first day. You were sexy then Sam, but I think you're sexier now,'

Phil kissed her once more and began to undo the buttons on the shirt that Sam was wearing. She in return, undone the buttons on his shirt and ran her hands down his muscular chest. 'Lets take this upstairs,' Phil said.

Sam nodded as she wrapped her legs around Phil's waist and he carried her upstairs

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2hours later, Sam rested her head on Phil's chest and gazed into his eyes. 'I love you Phil,' she whispered.

'I love you too baby,' Phil smiled as he gently stroked Sam's arm.

'What do you reckons gonna happen tomorrow?'

'With Stuart?' Sam nodded. 'Well, I hope that he'll get what's coming to him. That way, he'll be behind bars and then we can forget he ever existed. I've got you Sam and that's all that matters to me, with you, I think I'd be able to face anything,'

Sam smiled, she leant upwards and kissed Phil softly on the lips before snuggling back down against his chest and fell asleep.

Phil watched for a few seconds, he wrapped his arms around Sam before falling asleep himself

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam woke up at about 6 the next morning. The sun was already shining through the small crack in the curtain. She looked up and saw that Phil was still asleep. She smiled as she watched him sleeping, thinking about everything that had happened over the last few months which ultimately resulted in bringing her and Phil together.

Sam's POV

If someone had come up to me this time last year and told me that I'd be with Phil, I would never have believed them. Saying that, I could never have anticipated the chain of events that brought me and Phil together. I love Phil, more than anyone else in the world. More than my job, that's something I never thought I'd say. I've said it now and it's probably the first time that saying those three small words hasn't been a mistake. I don't think there's been a time where I've meant those words more than I do when I say them to Phil.

Phil began to stir and stopped Sam's train of thought. His eyes fluttered open and he smiled at Sam as she leant downwards and kissed him, 'morning babe,' she said as she rested her head back against his chest.

'Morning,' Phil replied as she gently ran his fingers through Sam's hair. 'Today's the day.'

'Yep it is,'

'If the jury has any sense Sam, they'll find him guilty and put him away for a long time,'

Sam nodded, 'I hope so Phil,' she said.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam and Phil were up about an hour and a bit later and were ready to head off to the court at about 8:30. 'You ready for this?' he asked as him and Sam were about to leave.

Sam nodded, 'lets get it over with,' she said as Phil gently kissed her forehead.

Sam and Phil pulled up outside the court 15minutes later and went inside. They came face to face with Jack and Gina, 'what are you doing here?' Sam asked, unable to contain her surprise.

'We thought we'd come and offer you some moral support,' Gina replied.

'Thanks Gina,' Sam said.

They all sat down outside the courtroom, waiting for the jury to arrive. The members of the jury began to file into a room at about 9o'clock. After about an hour, Jack decided to go and find out what was happening. He came back a few minutes later, Sam stood up as soon as he approached, 'what's happening?' she asked.

'The jury are on their way back in,' Jack replied, nodding towards the members of the jury who were filing into the courtroom one by one.

Sam took a deep breath as Phil stood up beside her, taking her hand in his. Sam, Phil, Gina and Jack made their way into the courtroom and took their places in the gallery…

Ooooh, cliffhanger! So is Stuart going to be found guilty or not guilty? Next chapter is the last and then it's onto the sequel. 294reviews before I post the next chapter, luv ya lots Gemz xx
