Rest

Mared hugged Tom as the news their baby was safe sank in. She hadn't realised how frightened she had been until she knew that everything was ok. Tom kissed her temple as she relaxed in his arms.

"I want to go home." She sighed as he stepped back.

"Yeah. I've already told the boss I'm off duty and taking you home. Siân can cope. Assault on a police officer has been added to the charges." He wrapped his arm around her shoulder before ushering her out of the room.

"Charged both of them." Sian stared as she walked back into the CID office. Lloyd smiled as she shrugged off her jacket. "Why are you so happy?" He picked up his coffee mug, blushing slightly.

"Hapus iawn."

"Oh. Pam?"

"Sian? Ni all dyn fod yn hapus am ddim rheswm? Rydym yn dal dau berson y gallwn godi tâl o lofruddiaeth. o'r enw Mared, baban yn iawn a Delyth eisiau bod yn fy nghariad."

"Ah." Sian shook her head, the blonde hair falling over her eyes as she watched her friend. She was glad to see him happy- and that her meddling seemed to help.

"Sian?" He took his glasses off. "Beth wnaethoch chi ei wneud?"

Sian laughed. "Nothing!"

"Yeah, I bet. Diolch Sian."

She shrugged her shoulders before turning the computer on. Paperwork was waiting for her.

Mared stepped out of the shower feeling slightly more human than she had in a while. She had never been a fan of hospitals and was glad to get home. She wrapped a towel around her hair as she heard the front door click shut.

"Mam! It's me." She heard the teenager arrive home. Then there was less audible gravely voice of Tom talking to her daughter. She hoped they were happy with her decision. Her parents had moved forwards; the estate agents had already been organised. Now she just had to tell the two most important people in her life. Pulling her dressing gown around her she headed out of the bathroom. It was now or never.

A/N translation- "very happy."

"Sian. What's not to be happy about? We arrested two men for murder, Mared has called and her and baby ok. And Delyth wants to be my girlfriend."
