AUTHORS NOTE: So I've neglected the prompt table recently. This is a silly little piece based on last weeks episode "Fallen Angels" and it's based around the prompt table.
DISLCAIMER: I don't own the characters

Robbie moved into the office, smiling as everyone clapped him on the back at a job well done but he could see everyone was wearing a smile expect for one person. Jackie had pulled her chair over to the window and she was writing notes on a pad of paper that was resting against her knees. She didn't even look up at the cheering but continued with what she was doing. As everyone left, he told them that he'd catch up with them in the pub as he moved towards Jackie. "Jacks, you okay?" He asked as he pulled a chair over to sit across from her.
Thanks to rooting through her desk, Robbie could understand why this case had hit her so hard but now she looked close to tears as she looked up at him, he could feel it hitting him too. Reaching out, he tried to pull her into a hug but she slapped his hands away. "Don't touch me." She snapped standing up, her chair falling to the ground from the unexpected sudden move as she walked away from him. "You obviously don't care about me."
He stared after her, his jaw slack as confusion hit him. "Jacks, how could you say that? You're one of the most important things in my life. You're my best friend." He whispered trying to reach out and take hold of her again but she ducked her shoulder out of the way as she shook her head.
"So what made you jump onto the tracks?" She shouted at him. "I understand that we like to catch our suspects alive but as your best friend, did you really think what would have happened if that train would have hit you? Burke and I would have been called down with Duncan and the team to play find the part of Robbie!" She burst into more tears at the idea of such an event. "What kind of person would do that, Robbie?" She demanded to know as she moved through to the ladies toilets to grab some tissue and hopefully some time to gather her thoughts.
Robbie hung back for a moment. His own eyes filling with tears at the idea of Jackie being that upset over something he'd done. Yes it had been a stupid thing to do and yes, he had been terrified when he heard the horn of the train coming but he felt like it was the right thing to do. The woman needed to be caught. He just never did stop to think about what Jackie would feel. He remembered how she had shouted his name at the station, the tone she'd used and how scared she'd looked and that's when he realised something which caused him to follow her into the bathroom.
"This isn't hitting you because I'm your friend," he whispered as she froze in the mirror, her hand putting down the tissue as she turned to look at him. "You're in love with me, Jacks." He said without a flicker of conviction in his voice as he moved towards her, his hand reaching out to wipe the tears off her face as he looked down at her. "We've done nothing but bitch at each other today because I feared some other guy had got you pregnant." He whispered before leaning in and pressing a kiss to her lips, his hand not leaving her face as he needed to feel her against him. She sighed against him, her hand reaching out to grab hold of his chest as she responded to the kiss hungrily.
When it ended, she looked up at him and started crying again. "I thought I'd lost you today." She admitted and he shook his head as he pressed another kiss to her lips. She took hold of his wrist and pulled away to look up at him. "Please promise me that you won't do anything as stupid again." Robbie winced and looked at her causing her to laugh. She should have known that would be a hard promise for him to make. This was Robbie. He was the king of stupid antics.
"Jacks, I can't promise that but I do promise that I won't do anything that stupid where my life will be in that much of a risk. I'll try my best but you know in our line of duty, that's pretty much a hard task." She just laughed as she reached up and pressed another kiss to his lips. He couldn't help but smile into the kiss as he realised with one little stupid misjudgement, he'd won the woman of his dreams. He should have jumped in front of a train a lot earlier.
