The police had arrived and were taking statements from both Pam and Fergal while Aaron's body was removed from the cottage. Pam and Fergal were relieved that the kids slept through the whole ordeal who knows what could have happened if one if the kids had come downstairs when Aaron had pulled out the gun. After an hour or so the police were done taking statements and Pam wasn't charged with any wrong doing as it was self defence the police finally left and Pam and Fergal were on their own. 

Sitting on  the couch Fergal was holding an icepack on his forehead as Pam went upstairs to check on the kids. Groaning Fergal winced in pain as he took the ice pack off his forehead and felt his head, just then Pam had walked in after checking the kids and saw Fergal wincing as he was touching the lump on his forehead.

"Don't take the ice pack off or it will bruise up more than it already has" Pam said as she sat next to him and grabbed the ice pack from his hand and placed it back on his head.

"Oww, oww!" Fergal yelped as Pam put the ice pack back on his bruised forehead.

"Oh shit, I'm sorry Fergie but you have to keep the ice pack on" Pam said sitting really close to him as she held the ice pack on his head.

"Why do I get myself in these situations? I try to protect you and I end up getting knocked out and with a bruise to boot" Fergal grimaced as he held the ice pack to his head wincing from the pain.

"Ohhh Fergie, you'll always be my savior no matter what" Pam giggled as Fergal's eyebrows shot up at her.

"Jeez thanks Pam, now I feel a whole lot better" Fergal replied sarcastically, as they both burst out laughing before Fergal suddenly winced in pain as his head hurt from laughing.

"Oh my god Fergal I'm so sorry, for a second I forgot that you're hurt. Are you okay?" Pam said running her fingers over his head and around the ice pack that was on his forehead.

"Yeah, I'm okay" was all Fergal could say as they looked at each other, eyes not braking contact.

At that moment they were sitting next to each other face to face, blue eyes looking straight into brown eyes and they both felt their hearts beating so fast that they were sure they could each hear them beating out of each others chests. After a few moments of just gazing into each others eyes, Fergal broke eye contact with Pam as he tried to get up from the couch while holding the ice pack on his head.

"Oh no you don't, your not going anywhere Mr Devitt" Pam said strictly pulling him back down on the couch.

Fergal groaned and winced as Pam pulled him down on the couch, but he sat back down and tried to relax but his head was killing him. Aaron really hit him hard with that gun but he had to do something when he saw Pam being pulled up by the hair and Aaron holding a gun to her head. Just then he sighed as sleep was catching up to him but he was trying to fight it.

"It's okay Fergie, close your eyes and sleep. Just relax, let me take care of you like you did for me" Pam said sitting close to him, rubbing his arm as Fergal grunted before falling asleep on the couch.

The next morning Fergal wakes up to find the cottage clean and tidy and he hears Pam in the kitchen with the kids. He sits up on the couch and his head isn't hurting him anymore but he can still feel a small lump there but it's not hurting him as much. He gets up from the couch and walks into the kitchen to find Pam and the kids sitting at the table eating breakfast as he clears his throat getting Pam's and the kids attention.

"Oh Fergie, good morning! Here let me help you" Pam said getting up from the table and rushing over to him to help him over to the table.

"Morning, really I'm okay Pam but thanks" Fergal replied as he let Pam help him to the table before he sat down.

After the kids have finished their breakfast, Pam washed up the dishes and then went to sit with Fergal on the couch as the kids are playing in their rooms and Ava, Mia and Carter were having a morning nap. 

"So, how are you feeling? How's the head?" Pam asked sitting next to Fergal before turning to face him and surprises him by cupping his face to have a closer look at his forehead.

"It's feeling a lot better, that ice pack really help-" Fergal was saying, but stopped what he was saying and froze when Pam cupped his face to look at his forehead.

"That's good! ..... yeah, it's looking much better and the bruise is going down very nicely-" Pam replied, then all of a sudden their eyes made contact with each other.

They sat there on the couch their eyes locked on one another, Pam not moving her hands from Fergal's face and soon they found themselves moving towards each other, slowly leaning in as they could feel each others breath on their lips......

"Daddy!" Mia called out as Fergal and Pam sprung apart and Fergal turned around to see Mia standing at the foot of the stairs in her Pyjamas, holding her teddy bear.

"Hey pumpkin, what's wrong?" Fergal asked slowly getting up from the couch as Pam got up too.

"Can you came and read me a story, please daddy?" Mia said as she rubbed her eyes.

"Sure, pumpkin! Let's go!" Fergal replied as he walked towards Mia before he picked her up into his arms, "I'll be right back" Fergal said to Pam before carrying her upstairs as she giggled hugging her daddy.

"That's okay, go ahead" Pam replied as she watched, smiling at them as Fergal and Mia went upstairs.

...

About 20 mins later Fergal came back down the stairs and found Pam waiting for him on the couch, smiling to himself he walked over and sat down next to her.

"Is Mia okay now?" Pam asked after Fergal had sat down next to her.

"Yeah, she's good, fast asleep as we speak" Fergal replied giggling.

"Hopefully no more interruptions" Pam replied, giggling back. 

They were both giggling but stopped as they looked at each other, again eyes locked on each other as they again started to move towards each other. They're lips getting closer and closer but then Fergal stopped, pulling away from her but Pam didn't let him. She quickly grabbed face before their lips finally made contact. At first Fergal was shocked that Pam was kissing him but he snapped out of it and kissed back with passion. Wrapping his arms around her back, Fergal lowered Pam down on the couch leaning over her and never braking the kiss as Pam wrapped her arms around his neck holding him close to her. Soon it was getting hard to breath so they pulled apart with Fergal leaning his forehead on hers as they tried to catch their breath back.

"What happens now?" Pam asked holding Fergal close to her, afraid that is she let him go he'd leave her.

"Whatever you want. I'm not going anywhere.......... Squish" Fergal said rubbing his hands on her hips and waist. Pam gasped hearing him call her squish, his nickname for her.         

"I want to stay here forever. I'm not going anywhere either.......... Loser" Pam replied as they both smiled at each other.

"I love you, Squish. I always have and I always will" Fergal said smiling down at her. 

"I love you too, Loser. I always have and I always will too" Pam replied smiling back at him before Fergal leaned down and their lips connected one more time.

A/N: They're back together again YAY! I wasn't gonna have them kiss in this chapter but Pam and Fergal had other ideas LOL! I was really tempted to write a sex scene in this chapter as Pam and Fergal were making out and really pushing me but it will have to wait for a later chapter! I hope you liked this chapter and please leave me some feedback and like always I'll see you in the next chapter! Thanks 💜
