The cancer had be tough, the strain it had placed upon the pair was something neither one of them could've predicted back in that old classroom. She sighed hearing the doorbell sound. "Afia, Maddox!" she called, making her way to the door. Hugo lifted his head up watching as Connie opened the door. "Hey." he smiled, she simply nodded moving to the side to allow him entry, knowing the children would be a little while. "Hey Jacob." Hugo looked before turing back to the tv. "No Grace?" he questioned, "No. At a friends." she replied, "I'll go and get them." she added, wanting the interaction to be over.

After 4 years apart and with all life's struggles it was hard even now to deny their was a connection. The question they had always struggled with was could they make it work. Couldn't resist we've waited so long 😂

"Daddy, who's that?" Isabelle asked her father as she held his hand, Jacob smiled looking to his daughter, "That's Ms.Beauchamp." "Who's that?" "She runs the department." "She has pretty shoes and hair." Isabelle giggled, Jacob watched as she strolled past, the pair sharing a fleeting glance. "Will you tell her I said that?" "Course I will." He grinned as Elle came over kissing him before lifting their daughter, "Sorry it took so long." She commented, "Don't worry about it, I'll see you later." He smiled kissing Isabelle's cheek before getting on with his shift.

Connie Beauchamp is no stranger to working on Christmas Day and she has no intention of ever indulging in the festive spirit again. She swears that no present could ever make her change her mind, but will true love's gift be able to melt the ice queen's frozen heart?

Connie the strong independent clinical lead. Who shuts everyone out despite having the roughest 18 months if her life, nearly loosing her daughter after the crash, losing Jacob and then her battle with cancer.

Although the realization of who gave her the strength to carry on at her darkest times is no longer easy to deny, Sam her secret rock. They may hate each other, they may fight, he may have grace and he may be happily married, but when she needs him he's always there even if she's not always willing to let him in. They have slept together 4 times this year, he's like her comfort when she's pushed to breaking he's the one who she let's get close enough before realizing her mistake and putting the walls back up. Tonight it would seem is no different!

Connie has been on her own for a while she lonely and burying herself in work, she's had enough of men but she can't deny she gets lonely it's not like she has friends really either. Jacob and his Girlfriend move in next door and Connie finds herself torn as they become friends.

A small collection of little stories based on our favourite Casualty couple. Some will include sexual content - warnings are at the beginnings of the chapters. I enjoy writing long stories but often find that short ones allow the readers to imagine their own perfect ending to the story, which is always a nice thing. Having said that, I don't mind people requesting for additional chapters of a particular story if there's a one-shot that you want continued! Thanks all for your continued support. Love to all my readers and I hope you enjoy this group of sexy, fluffy and romantic one-shots! ❤️

"I forgot your name again." She laughed weekly, the people behind the cameras chuckling too, "Jacob." He smiled, "Connie." She joked, "It's nice to meet you." He smirked, "you too, Jacob." "So do we like, do this whenever?" He looked to the people stood around, a few of them nodding, "Cameras rolling." the pair nodded, looking back to each other.
