One was well on my way fresh out of midwifery from the London, as I walked up the steps of Nonnatus I saw him working his beat.
That's a sight for sore eyes, eh?
He was working his Beat and to my surprise, he showed up on that cold afternoon for asking for a warming Cuppa, Nurse Miller was quick on her feet with the biscuits too, if I might add!
I had only been with the Nuns for a short time and never thought I would ever marry, nor did I really want to. That is until I met PC Noakes. I had eyes set for him, even though I was too shy to show it. I was finally going to say something to him! I was planning to ask if we wanted to go for a walk by the water, wrong thing to gaze about while riding a bicycle. One forgot everything one was supposed to do.
I flattened him on the cold black top, and managed to give myself a concussion too! Cynthia had a very hurt elbow, Trixie and Jenny were scratched up and all the bicycles would need Fred's handy touch. All I could think of was ''How many charges will be pressed against me?''
I flattened a Bobby as my mother would call him, I can just see the shame on her face. Even though I wasn't charged and it was placed as an accident, I still thought that was the end. But he kept coming around, tea every night to check on us at Nonnatus. If it wasn't for Sister Evangelina I wouldn't have a husband or a family. I still like to snuggle close and play with the buttons on his shirt when I get nervous or think too much. He puts up with my cold feet more than he should, and never complains. I love my dear husband more than the light that shines, that's why God gave me Police Constable Peter Noakes.
Sorry for the short Chapter!
