A/N – I apologise for the length of time this has taken me to update, and because this chapter is so small, however I wanted to do another one for the next section of the story. Hope you like it anyway and as usual I don't own anything. Please review!!!! :D

The next morning Robbie came into the office, slung his jacket on the back of his chair and sat down at his desk. He was just clicking the E-mail button on his computer to check whether the lab results we sent off yesterday were back when a cup of coffee was placed beside him. He turned round to see Jackie standing behind him, her own coffee cup in her hands.

"You owe me one," she smiled

"Yeah I do, thanks for last night!" Robbie replied, "You were great."

At that moment Stuart came into the office, hearing Robbie's words he said "What?" and looked from Robbie to Jackie as if to say 'what's going on here then?'

Robbie laughed, "You have a dirty mind Stuart, Jackie just helped me have an actual conversation with Jamie, nothing dirty involved."

"Shame." Stuart said and went to get a coffee; Robbie just laughed at that while Jackie's eyebrows shot up.

"He's not the only one that thinks that," Robbie said as Jackie went to move towards her own desk,

"What?" She turned to face him, "who?"

"Jamie." Robbie said simply,

Jackie sat down at her desk opposite Robbie's, "why would he think that?"

"Seems to think that I introduced you two on purpose because we are seeing each other."

"Oh," Jackie said a little confused as to why Jamie would assume that, "kids say the funniest things!"

"As you told me yesterday Jamie's not a kid anymore." Robbie told her, "He reckons it's 'the way we look at each other.'"

Jackie's eyebrows raised again at that point, "hhmmm." She said and looked down at yesterday's notes,

"What does that mean?" Robbie asked her chuckling,

Jackie had no idea what it had meant, she looked up at Robbie and attempted in her head to string a decent sentence together, but nothing came, after what seemed like forever, but was really just a few seconds she replied, "well we're not exactly compatible are we?"

"Why not?" Robbie asked in a serious tone on voice,

Jackie was shocked into stunned silence and her at those words her eyebrows shot up almost above her head!

Robbie laughed at her face and stood up, "it was a joke Jackie." He picked up both of their coffee cups and went over to put them in the sink leaving Jackie sat at her desk watching him walk away, he face flushed and her heartbeat racing. 'What on Earth was that?' She thought to herself.


A couple of days later Robbie remembered, after much nagging, to ask about Jamie's work experience, he got all the forms sorted and the date was set up for a few weeks time.

"The 25th good for you to do your work experience at the station?" Robbie asked Jamie when he got home that night,

"Really? Yeah that's great!" Jamie said, "It's gonna be so cool!"

"It'll mostly just be admin stuff," Robbie told him, "but you'll get a feel for how it works and it's a good thing to go on your application."

"Thanks Dad," Jamie grinned, "and hey, I'll get to see how you and Jackie behave when you work together!"

"I've told you we're not together." Robbie said, Jamie had mentioned the two of them quite a few times over the past few days and the more he said it the more amused Robbie became.

"Okay"

"You'll see for yourself when you work with us, we aren't together, she's a colleague."

"So…?"

"Well you're not supposed to date anyone on your team for a start and…"

"Ah so nobody there knows, it's ok dad I won't say anything."

"Jamie, we are not together!"

"But you want to be?" Jamie grinned; he was enjoying teasing his dad, even more so when he saw how defensive he was getting

"No, look Jackie's a friend, we work together."

"But you think she's pretty? Because come on dad she is pretty?!"

"No, I mean well yes but…"

"Exactly, and you like her?"

"As a friend!!!!" Robbie said, exasperated rather than amused now

Jamie laughed, "Dad you are so easy to wind up, but I still think you guys should be a couple if you're not already!"

Robbie laughed, "Ok then." He put it down to Jamie having a rather childish wish for a perfect family but it made him wonder what Jamie was basing all these assumptions on!?
