Dixie had never found, or thought of herself to be someone to change her mind. Hell, she was not even someone who would take her words back. But when she stood in Jeff's arms, in their ambulance, she realised she may have changed. They had been like any other friends; always there to comfort each other, pull each other out of danger on shift, just there. He had slept on her sofa; in return he had bought her Little Abs. They could be called the dynamic duo, Shiver an' Shake, anything 'duo-like' really. With a desolate shake of the head, Dixie had felt herself crumple inside; death was one thing, but death of a friend's baby? That was never something to be passed on from during 'Beer-o'clock'.

When Jeff climbed up into the ambulance, Dixie just melted into his embrace, his strong arms holding her up. They were partners, and she loved him as a friend; but anything more? She could not say. To be honest, they already behaved like an old married couple, and argued over the right sort of things, but could she picture herself doing anything different with this paramedic? To her surprise, the answer was yes, she could.

So it seemed that even Kathleen Dixon could be changed, to the extent that all of her main principles came crashing down next to her. As a result, she cherished those moments with Jeffery, and wished she knew what to do. Deep down though, it was only so long until one of them got drunk and did something that they would not regret...

Okay, so this was a little weird to write... but I've seen them as a could-be-couple for such a long time now... and that hug after little Harry's death (I cried sooo much!).

Reviews are appreciated, thanks =D
