Officer and a Player (Mewis/Dahlkemper)

Sam Mewis had been working for the past few years as a police officer with the Boston Police Department but decided she's had enough of dealing with the so-called "Massholes," after her partner Steph McCaffrey was injured in the line of duty. McCaffrey would recover from her broken bones sustained as a result of being used for batting practice by a group of teens, Sam decided upon seeing her friend and partner laying in a hospital bed, that it was time for a change of scenery.

Her older sister Kristie was also a police officer but based out of Raleigh, North Carolina. Sam mentioned the idea of putting in a transfer request and all of the Mewis family members plus Kristie's longtime English girlfriend Rachel were onboard with the idea. Sam already considered Rachel as part of the family and wondered if the day would ever come that the two of them decided to make it official.

A few months down the line, Sam receives news that her transfer has been approved and with the help of Kristie and Rachel, she gets set up in a new apartment. After the strain of moving and getting set up, no one feels like cooking so they all head out for an evening of drinks and food to celebrate Sam's new job and place.

Kristie raises her glass, "Welcome to North Carolina, Sammy, can't wait to show you how a real cop works."

Sam laughs, "Real cop? Aren't you the one who's spent a good chunk of the last few months on traffic duty, while I've been pounding the pavement in the big city."

Rachel laughs, "She's got you there, Babe."

Kristie looks at Rachel, "How would you like to sleep on the couch tonight?"

Rachel responds to her, "You and I both know that's an empty threat because you don't like sleeping alone. Plus, our sofa is comfy."

Kristie shakes her head at her girlfriend.

"Can the two of you just get married already, please? It'll give Mom something to talk about besides my non-existent relationship status."

"New city, new start, Sammy. Relationships are hard and once she was transferred to Washington, you should have known that Rose and you weren't going to live happily ever after."

"Doesn't mean I don't miss her though, I found some of her Harry Potter books amongst mine when I was unpacking."

"I forgot how much of a nerd you are sometimes Sam, like seriously what grown-up reads Harry Potter?"

Rachel puts her hand up, causing them all to laugh.

"So, when you do you start?"

"Beginning of next week, I'm shadowing for a couple of days until I get the lay of the land and then I'm riding solo."

"They made me shadow for like 6 months when I started, how come you only a couple of days?"

"Um, because I'm a competent officer, unlike some others. Rachel, how's life in the travel industry treating you?"

"Good, heading to Cancun for a conference soon."

"Must be nice to have a job that allows you to soak in the sun and sand while being paid."

"Yep."

Kristie leans into her, "I don't like the idea of all those guys staring at you in your bikini."

"They can look, but the only one touching me is you baby." Rachel kisses Kristie.

Sam stands up, "Thanks for the help today, I can't handle anymore more of your coupleness tonight. Love you guys, have a good night."
