A few days later Des had settled into life with Sheelagh and the kids.

Sheelagh was giving the morning briefing.

"Des and Reg you are in the area car today, the rest of you are paired the same as yesterday off you go then be careful out there wont you" said Sheelagh.

"Don't you want to be paired with me anymore" said Des jokingly as the two of them walked down the corridor together holding hands making every one take notice of them but they didn't care.

"Des I would love to be paired with you every day but I happen to be on restricted duties now" said Sheelagh smiling.

"I'm going to have to start thinking about baby names" said Des

"maybe Reg will have some nice suggestions or then again maybe not" said Sheelagh

"what about Des junior" said Des

"and supposing it's a girl" said Sheelagh

"Sheelagh junior" said Des

"can't you be a bit more creative" said Sheelagh laughing

"Declan tells me that there are some nice trails around you sisters place so how'd you fancy taking me on a ride this afternoon "

"hey guys" said Reg

"sure of corse I'll take you on a ride later that's a brilliant idea" said Sheelagh kissing Des quickly on the lips "but unfortunately between now and then you have a job to do so be off with you"

"god I love you" said Des

"same here, now go" said Sheelagh

"alright alright " said Des "I'm going come on Reggie" sad Des as Reg came round the corner

When it was time for refs Des, Kerry, Tony, Honey, Cameron and Gary we sitting at a table talking.

"guys it's Sheelagh's birthday today but she doesn't think anyone knows but me and the kids so we had this idea of a surprise party so if you could spread the word preferably without Sheelagh finding out you'd be doing me a huge favour" said Des.

"sure when and where is it" said Kerry

"Sweet Valley Stables this afternoon" said Des.

"ok we'll spread the word around" said Honey

Sheelagh was in search of Des. She walked into the canteen and saw him sitting over with the others and immediately pulled up a seat beside him and took his hand for everyone to see. Des was nervous but relieved. He wanted everyone to know just how much he loved her. Sheelagh leaned against Des and smiled at everyone else. Everyone else was just staring at the couple and were gob smacked. Sheelagh began to feel uneasy and decided to try and start up a conversation.
"So, Honey, how has your day been?"
"Err…Fine Sarge," Honey answered her back, nervously.
Sheelagh sighed at the poor response she had got.
"What about you three?"
"Fine Sarge," Tony, Gary and Kerry mumbled in harmony.
"Oh for goodness sake, I can't take this," Sheelagh snapped. "Look as some of you may have noticed, Des and I are together. I love him and…"
"And I love her," Des interrupted.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.

"Well, congratulations I guess," Cameron said, breaking the awkward silence.

"Yeah, good luck. You'll need it Sarge if your gonna be with him!" Tony laughed, as Des scowled right at him.
"Thanks Tony," she laughed.
