It was 7am, Sam Hunter had been laying awake for the past 10 minutes fiddling with her wedding band.

She thought back to 16 years previously how Phil had proposed to her on a romantic trip to Italy her favourite country, it was so perfect, so incredible. Her mind turned to her wedding day wearing a beautiful lace and silk white dress. The most wonderful day of her life, the day she became Mrs. Phil Hunter. Remembering her chief bridemaid Jo Masters copping off with Phil's sister Lorraine, even Phil couldn't quite believe it when he found out

" still I wouldn't put it past Lorraine or Jo for that matter " he laughed over their wedding breakfast the next morning.

Turning her attentions to another happy event in her life, she reminisced about the day she found out she was pregnant with Emily,

" Sam you ok? " Phil asked tentively kissing her cheek " you look a bit peaky "

" I'm fine, just got a bit of a dicky tummy " she replied with a smile " I'll catch up with you later I have to complete some paperwork, anything special you want for dinner? "

" Not really, surprise me " he said. A couple of hours later leaving the station, Sam fainted, when she came too, Phil was standing over her " Sam, Gina found you passed out on the floor, this is not nothing, you have to talk to me " he demanded.

Bottling it, she couldn't put the words together how to tell him he was going to be a dad, she wanted to but she just didn't know how Phil would react, it was now or never " OK " she said sitting up " I'm late " searching his face for a reaction, she waited until he finally spoke

" I think I worked that out when you weren't ready to kill me for using your pink bubble bath or eating your chocolate last week, which is why I got you this ". He handed her a box and pointed her in the direction of the bathroom " go on I'll be outside waiting " Phil declared. It was less than 5 minutes later when she emerged with tears in her eyes and the positive result that would change both their lives and open a new chapter for them and here she was 14 years later still completely and utterly in love with Phil as the first day she met him.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the alarm going off, Phil woke up and Sam giggled at his bedhead, all these years later and it never failed to amuse her " What, I haven't put my make up on yet " he laughed and gave her a kiss, he'd forgotten how she'd turned him down the night previously. This time however she didn't and they rolled over into a mad moment of passion.

A short time later, Phil and Sam were sitting at the dining table having breakfast " Should I go and wake sleeping beauty or do you want to let her sleep last night off? " Phil asked,

" No Phil, she's got to learn one way or another " Sam replied heading upstairs with a pot and spoon in her hand.

He dreaded to think of what thoughts were running his wife's head, and he chuckled at her interesting parenting techniques. Sam peered into the pink bedroom, Emily was lying on the floor covered in vomit, Sam didn't hesitate to start banging the pot and spoon together.

" Mum " she groaned

" Emily Rose Hunter, raise and shine " she smiled " you've 20 minutes to get showered and ready or you're grounded for another week "

" but Mum I'm not even grounded now " Emily whined

" Oh really I think you might want to consider that option again and don't think you're off the hook, your father and I are having a serious talk with you after school " " Oh yeah I'm scared, quaking in my boots " she sniped but when she saw the look her mother gave her, Emily knew not to push her luck.

Downstairs Phil kissed Sam " right I'm off darling, I need to get in early to get stuck into Zain's case, after dinner we'll talk to Emily ok? "

" I'm thinking we should talk to her separately Phil, might get some sense into her rather than gang up on her together "

" OK that sounds good, I'll be home at 4, I'll be first and then you can talk to her tonight ".

With that he left, Sam raised her voice and asked Emily whether she was ready " in a minute " she snapped. After that, they left and Sam dropped Emily at the bus stop with a strict warning that she be home for 4, she then headed straight for the office.

" Morning Guv " DC Jo Masters greeted her " Stevie has just told me that a reliable informant has given her details of a substantial cocaine shipping entering the UK today "

" Well there was me thinking I'd have an easy day with it being Friday and that, so what's the dealer's name " Sam uttered with a hint of disappointment.

" Colin Brookes " she smirked, Sam smiled, she recognised the name because she'd been trying to nail him for the past 6 months without success.

" OK I want you and Stevie to set up a surveillance operation and keep me informed, we're going to catch him this time, no slipping through the net " she replied. Phil was at his desk and looking very shifty, Sam noticed it but was too busy to question him, but she knew she would get it out of him later that day. In fact Phil was worried, he'd started receiving mysterious emails and texts, nothing overly threatening but enough to make him think someone was messing him around, but he didn't want to worry Sam not yet.

Shortly after 4, he left work and headed home. Checking his mail he noticed a parcel with D.S. Phil Hunter marked on it, intrigued he opened it and noticed it was a dvd. Switching it on, Phil was shocked to see images of his house and recordings of his family's comings and goings, then there was a selection of images focusing on Emily, ones that weren't at the house, they were shopping with her friends and at the park, there was even one of her taken last night climbing through the front window, he'd recognised the clothes that Emily had woren last night. Panicking he called Sam " Sam, someone sent me a dvd, we're being watched. I think whoever is doing this is going to try and target Emily, I need you to collect Emily and come home immediately " A wideset fear spread across Sam Hunter's face " Phil, Emily's prinicipal just called, she never arrived at school this morning " she stuttered. Dropping the phone, he found a note inside the parcel, the same message was embedded across the television with a picture of Emily " Do you remember the promise you made? just how much do you love your daughter D.S. Hunter ? "

Let me know what you thought, this is where the action begins!!! Did anyone recognise some clues I put in there :) R&R and I'll do the same for you xx
