Serena closed her eyes feeling Bernie's embrace, she was still fighting back the tears as she knew that both of them needed each other, especially Bernie needing her more even if she didn't say anything as Serena knew that she had another one of her night-mares by the way Bern's hands was gripped on to her waist, her grip was tight like she didn't want to let go as she finally felt safe.

"Bern..honey...I got you...Your safe" she said comforting her but rubbing her back softly and stroking her hair to calm Bernie's thoughts about the army and the nightmares.

Bern gripped her hands on Serena's waist more, she wanted to make up for the moths that she had caused hell for her

"I'm sorry..." Serena said apologizing for hitting her as a few tears rolled down her face and onto Bern's shoulder, Bern didn't say anything as she knew that Serena was right, how she could have replied to her messages, Bern looked up at Serena

"No....I deserved it it, I should of texted you , I'm the one that's sorry"

"No Bern.."

"You needed space I get that... I understand " she said looking up ather again wiping her tears away softly, and looked into her brown eyes "I've caused you so much pain... you was right to act that way"

"But you came back...that's the main thing" Serena replied

"Can we sit down?" Bern asked "please?"

"Hey of course we can" Serena replied softly guiding Bern over to her office chair, Bern sat in her office chair as Serena sat on the edge of her work desk

"I scared you didn't I?" Serena asked stroking the blondes cheekthat was red from where Serena had hit her. Bernie flinched a little feeling her touch before speaking

"No...no of course not" The blonde answered while lying a little, as she didn't like it when Serena would shout at her as it would remind her being on the front line, Serena looked at her as she was still stroking her soft cheek, knowing that something was up as it wasn't like Bernie to be this quite, as she was always full of some sort of conversation.

"Bern...you don't have to lie to me...you know I wouldn't be mad at you"Serena said softly

The blonde looked up at her giving a sigh while hesitating to tell her the truth, and gave her a slight nod to say yes before looking back down at the floor to speak again "You did....but only a little..but i'm used to it" she said letting it slip that the shouting had made her remember her days in the the army.

Serena lifted her head up gently before getting off the desk and bent down to her level and held her hand holding it tightly "Why didn't you tell me that i made you think back to the army days?"

"I..erm.. i didn't want to worry you"

"Bern...baby ... I'm always worried about you because I love you"

The blonde nodded and looked at her girlfriend in the eyes "Was...was there anyone else .. i mean when I was gone?" she asked nervously

"No..there was nobody else...What about you?"

"No...i cant replace you if i tried" Bernie said with a bigger smile to reassure Serena that she was the only one for her , Serena smiled back at her rubbing her hand softly before asking her another question

"How was you're flight back?"

Tiring... but I'm glad to back in the UK though" she said with a much bigger smile

"Did you get any sleep darling?"

"A couple of hours until.." The blonde said before getting cut off by her girlfriend

"You had another nightmare about the army?"

Bernie nods "It's the same dream each time... Feeling like the air is being cut off..."

"Hey your safe now sweetheart, why don't you go for a lie down up in the staff-room? as no offence honey you do look drained" Serena said softly kissing the blonde's forehead

"I'm sure a good strong coffee would help, Its not fair on you.. I've just come back and i cant just pile more things on to like this... you need me down here.."

"It might not Bern... you know what to much caffeine can do to you, so that's off the cards until you've had some more sleep... Bern I've got it covered the AAU is fine, you go for a lie down and I'll even check on you if you're lucky" Serena replied in a soft cheeky tone

The blonde let out another little sigh but with a little smile "I don't know what i would do without you..." she said pressing her forehead against Serena's and smiled seeing her smile "You know i thought about you every day..."

"Hey shush we'll continue this talk later back at home... if you want me to come over" Serena asked not lifting her forehead from Bernie's

"I would love that... What time is your shift ending?"

"Same time as yours" Ree said with a big smile

Bern looked at her confused "What time would that be?"

"5:30-6pm , Half five if we're lucky " Ree said softy in a way that Bernie could understand due to her tiredness, Which Ree didn't mind explaining things in a simpler way for Bernie when she couldn't understand.

Are you sure that you can cope down her?"

"Ms Berenice Wolfe i'm sure i can cope I've been running this unit for a long time " Ree said with a smile before kissing the blondes soft lips to shut her up, Bernie smiled into the kiss before deeply and put her arms around her neck and stroked the back of Ree's neck softly, Serena let out a small moan due to soft stroking of Bernie's hand while Bernie's free hand wondered slowly down her leg stroking it until her hand landed on her thigh, Bernie smirked knowing that it would make Serena tense.

Serena let a small series of moans out into Bernie's mouth while she continued to kiss her, Bernie was such a tease when it came to Serena. Bernie was in her element when she wasn't feeling her best she knew how to lift her mood, Bernie's hand moved up her leg and rested her hand on top of Ree's pussy.

Ree looked at her with a smirk "Don't you dare Berenice"

"Mm why not Campbell?" she said teasing her back as she gave her pussy a gently rub.

"Because I'll want you more then I already do" she smirked

"Oh is that right?" She smirked teasing her again while rubbing her against her trousers watching her shift a little

"I'll get you back for this Berenice" she said moaning out more.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door , Bernie quickly moved her hands so the two of them could act normal , she gave a smirk at Ree before looking at the door "Come in"

Fletch poked his head around the door , seeing Bernie and gave her one of his goofy smiles "Bernie! Your back"

"Yeah only a few hours ago.. can we help you?"

"There's this lovely woman out on the soars complaining about back pains, and shoulder pains, could one of you lovely ladies help?" Fletch explained , before Serena was able to get her word in , Bernie spoke

"Ms Campbell will be more then happy to help you it's for the best I've haven't had my morning coffee yet" she said giving them both a smile before getting up, Serena smirked watching knowing that she was teasing her.

"she's in bed four" Fletch told Serena as Bernie left the office heading up to the staff-room, she walked in and took a look around before going over to the sofa and laid down on it while staring at the ceiling.
