Rob and Louise have been together 5 months now and have tried to keep their relationship secret.

"I missed you last night" Louise shouted over to Rob whilst she was getting her bag out of her car.

"I thought you wanted to keep us a secret for the rest of our lives" he teased at the fact that the only people who knew they were together were the three young boys in Louise's life.

"Don't be like that. I've just never really felt like this, I want us to last" Louise knew how much Rob wanted to tell everyone but couldn't help but worry about how it might all fall apart.

"Why don't we go on holiday and take the kids, that would gives us the opportunity to tell my two and work out when to tell everyone else" Rob made sure that there was nobody around before placing a gentle kiss on Louise's peachy lips.

"Well if it means I get to spend more time with you then why not" all Louise wants to do was lock herself away with rob and spend the rest of her life in bed with him.

"Well the kids will be there but I'm sure we can find them something to do whilst we have some alone time, are you coming to my office?" Rob winked at Louise.

"I'm afraid you'll have to wait to later till we make up for last night, unlike some people I have work to do" Louise went in for one last kiss before walking off into work and Rob just stood there admiring the view of his lover.

"Morning" Louise flashed her smile at her rather grumpy looking colleagues.

"Someone's happy, too happy for a Monday morning" Gerry grumbled.

"Well we can't all be like you can we Gerry, mum can I have a quick word please" Louise walked over to her mothers office.

"Whats up?" Sandra hadn't even realised that her daughter had arrived.

"After this case is it ok if I take some time off" all Louise could think about was rob when she wasn't with him.

"I don't see why not, is everything ok?" Sandra was concerned at the sudden request for time off.

"Oh yeah it's just I want to take the boys away for a bit, after what they've been through they deserve something nice. How are you anyway?" Louise spotted that Sandra had been looking at the baby picture of her and was worried.

"I'm fine, I just keep thinking if I'd have been around in your childhood then maybe things would be different" Louise raised her eyebrows at her mother.

"You knack what yes I'd have loved it if you was around back then but you weren't however me and you are perfectly fine and we've got so much to look forward to. Oh and maybe whilst I'm away you could try to speed things up with 'uncle' Gerry because the pair of you clearly love one another" overhearing their conversation jack interrupted "you're wasting your breath on that topic, me and brain have tried already"

Sandra and Louise made their way out of her office. "Oh yes because I bet you'd love that wouldn't you, me and Gerry being loved up all the time" Louise chuckled at her mothers sarcasm.

"I need to go to the chemist on the way to the hotel so I'll meet you there if you like?" Louise flicked through the case final notes.

"No it's fine you can come with me, saves you taking your car anyway I need to talk to you about something" Louise looked at Sandra like a rabbit had been caught in headlights.

"Ok I'll urm just go to the toilet"Louise made her way out of the office as fast as she could.

"What's up with her?" Jack said with a concerned tone.

"I think she's just overdoing it what with looking after the kids and work, I'm just going to take her home after we've been to the chemist. Gerry you can come with us to the hotel" Sandra gathered her things along with Louise's and followed Gerry out to the car.

"You alright love you look awful" Sandra said to Louise as she joined Gerry and Sandra in the car.

"Thank you, you're so kind. I just don't feel to good, I'll be fine once have this break and get to the chemist" Louise fear that it would be something more long term rather than a small illness.

"Alright but I'm taking you home as soon as you've been to the chemist"

"Honestly I'll be fine, I just need to destress" Louise couldn't face going home as she'd soon know whether she was right or not about her greatest fear.

"No arguments tell her Gerry" Sandra looked in the mirror for support from Gerry who was sat in the back minding his own business.

"Your mums right, you'll be no good to the boys if you don't look after yourself properly" Gerry didn't want to get involved however could see the effect that everything was having on Louise physically.

"Fine ok gang up on me why don't you, what did you want to talk to me about?" Louise thought her mother had found out about her relationship with Rob and started to panic.

"Well I was thinking that I could maybe move in with you for a while whilst you get back to normal" Louise let out a sigh of relief. "I'm sure we can arrange something, I mean it would give us the opportunity to spend more time together rather than just at work. Right I won't be long" Louise got out of the car and made her way into the chemist.

Back at the office.

"Morning team, is Louise about?" Strickland entered the office with a grin on his face.

"I sent her home she wasn't feeling very well, can I help you sir?" Sandra had just finished writing up the rest of the case notes.

"So she's at home right now, oh no it's fine it was Louise I needed to speak to" after finding out Louise was ill Strickland started to worry and left the office without even saying goodbye.

"That was strange" brain frowned looking towards Sandra and Gerry.

"They're at it" Gerry said with delight and chuckled.

"How do you come to that conclusion from him wanting to speak to her" jack quizzed Gerry although knowing how Strickland was around Louise he two thought it wouldn't be long before he'd try it on with her.

"Do you have to discuss my daughters sex life, what she does is her business" Sandra couldn't imagine how awkward it would be if her daughter and her boss were to start dating

"Harrison also said something a few weeks back about a bloke going round the house and spending time with them" Gerry sat smirking at Sandra.
