Part One
�I can�t believe we�ve been married 2 weeks,� June said as she zapped through the channels and saw that �A Wedding Story� was on.
�It�s so weird being Mrs Carver. I thought I would stay June Ackland for the rest of my life. Mind you I didn�t exactly expect to lose my spleen in order for you to propose,� she laughed.
�It doesn�t matter how we got in this position. As long as it�s not a dream,� Jim replied.
June got up, turned around to face Jim and kissed him.
�What was that for?�
�If you know what just happened, then it�s not a dream!� June told him laughing.
Jim looked at her lovingly and kissed her again. �Nope, not a dream� he said as he let out a giggle. �That was too good to be a dream. I love you Sgt. Carver.�
�Aaahh. I need to get used to that quick. If everyone is going to call me Sgt Carver we might get a bit mixed up having two in the same nick.�
�Well I�m not planning on transferring, that�s for sure.�
�Me neither. Come on, bedtime,� June said as she pulled Jim off of the couch and put the TV off. �I think I�ll have a shower first,� she continued as she winked to her new husband.
�You getting at something?� Jim asked. He too couldn�t believe that after 1 � years he had finally managed to get the woman he had always loved ever since his first puppy walk with her in 1983. �Oh, come on then. I�ll warm up the bed while you go and have a shower!�
Jim carried June upstairs and they both fell onto the bed laughing and kissing totally forgetting about the shower.
The next morning June got up before Jim and went downstairs to make the breakfast. Toto wandered in through the cat flap and meowed.
�Oh, hello Toto. Where have you been all night? Just a minute and I�ll get you some milk.�
June went to the fridge, got some milk and poured some into Toto�s bowl. As she was looking in the fridge for the butter someone tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped and then realised that it was only Jim up to his old tricks again.
�What was that for? You nearly made me jump through the ceiling,� she shouted at him.
�Sorry, what�s wrong with you this morning? You�re not usually that grumpy in the morning.�
�I�m sorry too. I shouldn�t have shouted. I suppose I�m just worried about what everyone will say when we go back to work. It�s stupid really.�
Jim looked at June and smiled. �Oh come here,� he said giving her a hug. �We�re married, there�s no reason for you, or me even, to be embarrassed about anything. We haven�t done anything wrong.�
�You�re right. I suppose I was just worried after what happened last time we went public. They were talking about us behind our backs.� June walked into the living room and sat down, Jim kneeled down in front of her.
�There�s something else bothering you isn�t there?� Jim asked her. �June? Just tell me please,� he said as he sat down next to her and took her hand.
�I had a phone call early this morning,� she said as tears ran down her cheeks.
�Who was it? Anyone we know?� Jim was very concerned by this time as June was crying her eyes out. �June? If anyone�s done something to hurt you��
�No, No Jim, nothing like that. It was the doctor. He�he�I�m�� she stuttered. �I�m��
�It�s ok. We�ve got all the time in the world. Work can wait. I�ll phone in and tell them we�ll be late.�
Jim got up and reached for the phone. As he was dialling Insp. Gold�s number, June whispered something to him. He put the phone down again and walked over to her with a big grin on his face.
�You�You mean we�re�� Jim also started crying and began stuttering as bad as June. �Wow, this is great. I don�t know what to say.�
�Well that�s a first!� June laughed the first time that morning. �Yes, Jim. I�m�We�re having a baby. Oh� I never thought I�d ever say that.�
�I�m going to be a dad?� he pulled June up from the couch and gave her a huge hug. They both broke out in tears and stood there for at least 10 minutes until June realised what time it was.
�Jim?�
�What?�
�We should have been at work over two hours ago. Insp. Gold will kill us.�
�Forget that. Let�s just play truant,� he said laughing.
�Jim. You�re not at school anymore. You play truant in school, not at work!� June also started laughing. �Oh, who cares? One extra day off won�t harm us.�
�Are you a sergeant or a school girl? You�re meant to be the one telling me to go to work, not stay at home!�
�Jim, as long as I�m with you, I don�t care who is a sergeant and who isn�t! Because I love you and that�s all that matters.�
�I love you too hon. Now, where should we go for the day then? How about a day at the beach?�
�Sound�s good to me. Just let me get changed out of uniform and I�ll be right there. Won�t take long.�
�Na, just a couple of hours,� Jim whispered under his breath.
�Oi, watch it PC Carver, I heard that. And if you repeat it again, I�ll report you to the inspector!�
�Yes, miss!� Jim said following June upstairs to change into something more comfy.
