The three women were looking through old albums that were in the box, Joey was having a whale of a time seeing the two women growing up, she laughed as Charlie and Ruby explained family members, they told her about where the pictures were taken and reminisced about tales from holidays,

They jumped at the abrupt knock on their door, all three warily walked into the kitchen, Joey bravely opened the door, knowing Charlie was behind her for support should she need it. She came face to face with a massive spray of flowers.

"Mrs and Mrs Buckton?" The flowers spoke as a man's head popped up beside them.

"Yes" Joey stammered as she looked towards Charlie who shrugged. Joey grinned as she took the flowers; placing them on the table she read the card aloud.

"I'm so sorry for your loss but know you have family to support you through this time. A" Joey looked up confused, "A, who is A?" Ruby giggled "it will be Aden."

"Ruby Buckton?" They all jumped just assuming the delivery man had already left.

"Yeah?" Ruby replied and shrieked as she saw the bouquet twice the size be lifted from the side of the house.

"Oh my god!" She grinned as the man walked away. She looked for a card and noticed a large envelope tucked in the bottom. She pulled it out carefully and stared at it when something inside it moved.

She opened the envelope carefully removing the card from inside.

"Ruby,

I'm sorry for your loss but I will be here to help you every step of the way!

Enclosed is a small present to help you get that sparkle back in your eye.

Aden xx"

She looked embarrassed at Charlie and Joey then opened the small box inside, she gasped as the sight hit her eyes.

Inside was a small white gold cross, there was a small diamond in the centre of it, it glistened happily up at her. She took it from the box and put it straight on and smiled at the two women in front of her.

"Wow, that looks expensive" Charlie commented.

"Well it would be, you don't buy the woman you love cheap jewellery" Joey stated as she inspected the necklace.

"What?" Charlie asked when she realised what Joey had said.

"Oh err nothing just it's a nice necklace, really beautiful" Joey stated cursing herself.

"Aiden loves me? Are you sure?" Ruby asked her face straight.

"Oh shit, we can't talk about this Rubes" Joey groaned, she had really put her foot in it this time.

"Oh my god he loves me!" Ruby smiled at Charlie who pulled her into a hug.

"Didn't I tell you it would work out if it was meant to?" Charlie grinned into her sister's hair.

"He actually said those words to you; he said that he loved me?" Ruby shrieked.

"Actually I said that I had fallen in love with you" Ruby spun around to see a smiling Aden stood at the door hopefully, he grinned as Ruby ran into his arms and allowed their lips to crash together.

Charlie laid on the sofa, her back resting against a mass of cushions and pillows, she smiled as she felt Joeys weight shift a little as she moved to grab some popcorn from the bowl on the floor. Charlie watched as she brought a piece to her mouth, and then allowed her hand to move above her head.

Charlie grinned as she leaned forward and allowed her lips to enclose around the fingers holding a piece of popcorn for her.

"Thanks baby" Charlie smiled before turning her attention back to the TV. She giggled as she saw an image of herself at the age of five, they had decided to watch some old home movies that were in the box from her father.

Charlie was in the back garden of the family home she had grown up in, she was wearing a children's police uniform, complete with handcuffs and gun. She ran around the garden chasing imaginary thief's, every now and then diving onto the ground and rolling around, dodging flying bullets.

"Here's a drink for officer cute" her mothers voice called from outside the view, Charlie stopped and ran towards her mother, she wrapped her arms around her legs and hugged her tight.

"Thanks Mummy" Charlie grinned upwards and drank the juice quickly.

"Sweetheart, are you sure you wouldn't rather be a ballet dancer, I can get lessons for you so you get really good?" Her mother asked sweetly.

"No" Charlie replied adamantly. "I want to be a pweece offcer just like daddy!"

Her mother grinned at her "I'm never going to change your mind am i?"

"No, daddy, daddy, can I come out in the car tonight?" Charlie jumped on the spot, the excitement running from every pore.

"No sweetheart, not tonight, daddy has to catch some naughty people and he can't do that when he's looking after his little princess" The camera shook a little as he laughed at the pout his daughter gave.

"One day when you're bigger, I promise I will take you out, ok?" He asked once he had calmed his laughter but the camera shook once more and the little girl in front of him began jumping again and nodding her head so fast he were sure it would pop off.

"Oh my god! You were so cute" Joey beamed up at her.

"Shut up" Charlie rolled her eyes and shot Ruby and Aden a glare for laughing.

"Awww look at you, I cant wait to have little you's running around" Joey smiled.

Charlie rested back and allowed her mind to run, she had never really thought about children, she had spent so much of her life focussing on her career, plus she had never really met anybody that she would want to raise children with, she wanted to raise children with Joey but she hadn't really considered it, they had never yet had that talk. She decided that when they were alone she would bring it back up and see where they stood on the whole children situation.

She allowed her attention to focus on the screen again as she saw herself at a school, she recognised the hall to be her old school, she must have been atleast ten, even then she was tall and beautiful.

She stood on a stage infront of her year and the parents that had attended, a few teachers stood to the side.

"Oh my god I remember this" Charlie gasped. "We had to do this stupid presentation about what we wanted to be when we grew up. All the boys said footballers or astronaughts and the girls said hairdressers or flight attendants!" she giggled.

"My name is Charlie Buckton, when I grow up I want to be a police officer, ever since I can remember that's all I wanted to be. My dad is a police officer and I am so proud of him, he tells me storys after his shifts about the type of people he locks up and what they have done, I want to stop bad people from hurting others, I want to protect the people I love and live in a safe area where I don't have to worry about bad people.

I want to be a police officer because it means I get to help people but I get to wear a really cool uniform and drive really fast in a car with flashing lights, you don't even have to wait in traffic, that is what I want to be when I'm older" The younger Charlie shrugged and moved off the stage.

"Aw Charlz, you were the cutest kid!" Ruby laughed.

"Just wait the footage of you is somewhere in here" Charlie poked her tongue out at her sister and received a piece of popcorn to the head.

"Charlie, are you excited about your little brother or sister?" The voice broke their laughter and drew their attention back

"NO!" Charlie stomped her foot.

"But why, you like babies, your always talking to them and playing with them, this will be your very own" Her father stated.

"I want a dog! I don't want a sister and I defiantly don't want a brother….. I want a DOG!" she shouted and pouted gaining laughter.

"Sweetheart your going to have a brother or sister, what shall we call it if it's a girl?" Her mother asked trying to peak some interest.

"stupid" Charlie grinned as she crossed her arms.

"We are not calling this baby stupid" Her father spoke trying to control his laughter.

"I don't care, I don't want a baby!!!" Charlie screamed before the screen blackened again.

The image returned but this time was of a heavily pregnant woman.

"Wow, darling your so big now" Charlie and Ruby grinned as they heard their fathers words of endearment, it had been so long since they had heard that tone in his voice.

"That's because I'm ready to pop!" She giggled then held her hand to her bump. "Its about time, this little one is kicking me to pieces!"

"Maybe she will be a dancer, you never know" The male voice said hopefully, he was proud of his daughter wanting to be a copper but he wished she would be a little more girly at times.

"Hey Charlie have you thought of a name yet for your sister?" Their mother asked softly.

"I have told you I don't want a sister I want a…"

"Dog! Ok we know you want a dog!!" her fathers voice laughed. "but your not having a dog your having a baby sister"

The younger Charlie sighed and pouted.

"Ok if you were getting a dog what would you call it, maybe the name will be nice for the baby" Her mother smiled towards her.

"I want to call it Copper" Charlie smiled proudly.

"Sweetheart we cant call the baby copper!" Her mum giggled.

"No not the sister…. The DOG!" Charlie stomped away and the screen focused on her mother who was laughing quietly.

"I'm glad to see your not a grumpy little git anymore Charlz" Joey smiled towards her.

"I wasn't grumpy…. I wanted a dog!!" Charlie pretended to pout which received laughs from around the room.

The screen blanked out again.
