Ben and Diane had been working together for years and most of the time they didn't get along very well. The small villages where Ben feels right at home was Diane's worst nightmare. She just couldn't understand the people and because she was an outsider from the city they rarely trusted her. But slowly things started to change as Ben and Diane were assigned to work together more and more. She realised that Ben was a very caring and intelligent man (something she had had her doubts about) and found that she enjoyed talking to him. She felt at ease with him and after the bad experiences from her childhood and the indicdent that made her leave the city and start working for the Derbyshire police, she suprised herself with the fact that she trusted a man again, and that man was Ben. Ben on the otherhand, was used to Diane's cold personality and the way she seemingly made fun of him for no apparent reason. But after a while he noticed a change in her behaviour towards him, she became more open, less hostile and easier to talk to. He had always found her interesting but suddenly he realised that he was attracted to her and wanted to be more than just friends and collegues. They were both surprised when the realised that they had mutual feelings for each other and for a while they didn't know what to do. They didn't want to ruin what they had just found, a great friendship but in the end there was nothing they could to to stop their feelings and one night Ben simply told Diane that he loved her and wanted to be with her and that was exactly what she wanted too.Diane had never felt an urge to have children, in fact she had never had any plans to have children, mainly because she just couldn't see herself with a husband and children. However, she soon found out that she was pregnant and overwhelmed with emotions she told Ben who turned out to be just as excited and happy as she had hoped. She too, was happy, she realised after a few months and could not wait to see her daughter. Because they were having a girl. Louisa Rose was born early in the morning with lots of brown hair and was instantly loved by her parents. She had her mother's lips but otherwise she looked just like her father. Ben and Diane's daughter was given the name Louisa Rose, the name Diane's sister Angie wanted to name her daughter, a daughter she never had. Both Ben and Diane felt like it was the right way to honour Angie because she had never liked her own name and if she had had the chance to meet their daughter they knew she would have loved her like her own.
