Rookie Blue 1. Chapter 1

**Hey so no matter how hard I try I can't seem to get this idea out of my head, so I have decided to give it a shot. This is my first attempt at a Rookie Blue fanfic and my first tv multi-chapter attempt.**

**Please take into consideration this chapter is mainly meant to set up the return of Andy and Nick. Also there will be no Marlo character as my thought surrounds Sam wanting to change himself so that when Andy returns he can prove himself worthy of a second chance...this way it isn't just words. Also the time line is a little off because I wanted Andy and Sam to have a bit of time to work on things before throwing a newborn into it.**

**I do not own Rookie Blue or any of the characters.**

Chapter 1

Sam awoke to the sound of whining at his side and his hand being nudged softly. "Okay buddy I'm up." he said to Boo his rescued husky puppy. Sam climbed out of bed and headed for the back door with Boo hot on his trail. He let Boo out into the fenced back yard while he made himself some coffee. As he looks out the back door window at the husky running around in the yard he can't help but think four months...its been four months since she left without a word.

Sam knew it was his own fault that she left. He knew that he caused his own heartache and he also knew he would do anything to turn back the clock in order to fix what he broke but he couldn't no matter how much he wanted to. When Boo ran up to the door he let him inside. "Hey buddy." he said to the husky he rescued from the pound after Andy left. It was one thing he did after she left to prove to himself and to her when she came back that he was serious about wanting to fix things between them.

When Sam arrived at the station he felt as if something was off. He headed for his desk in the D's office, but never made it that far since Nash was asking for him in interrogation room 1.

"What do we have Nash?" Sam asks once he closes the door.

"Mr. Dent this Detective Swarek, my superior." Nash says looking up at him.

They go back and forth for a few minutes until he's pulled out by Epstein who takes him into the viewing area to meet with someone he's never seen before. "What's going on you his lawyer or something?" Sam asks closing the door.

"No. My name is Jacob Blackstone and I'm head of the drug squad." he says holding his hand out to Sam before continuing, "that man in their I need you to release him...he's part of my investigation and I need him back on the streets." he says heading for the exit.

"No." Sam says, "that man is a menace on the street and he tried to bribe his way out."

"Seriously...do I need to call your boss?" Blackstone asks turning to look Sam in the eyes.

"Call my boss see if I care, but that man is staying right where he is." Sam says.

They head to the parade room to sit down so that Blackstone can explain his op and why Dent is a necessary part of it to Staff sergeant Best as well as both Sam and Traci. As he explains Frank and Sam just listen taking everything in about how they placed two undercover agents into the operation.

"McNally and Collins." Sam states knowing it has to be them.

When Blackstone just looks at him Sam urges him to keep going with his explanation about how Meth is being smuggled through small businesses in town such as: a balloon shop, an arms place and a couple other places.

"Dent's catering business is one of them isn't it?" Sam asks catching on to what this is all about.

"Yes, which is why I need him out on the streets today." Blackstone tells him.

"Why?" Sam asks knowing that something else has to be at work.

"We stole some of their product last night. We're trying to make it look like Steve McGowan is ripping them off and its working because another truck is coming in today, which is why I need Simon in play." Blackstone tells them. As he heads for the door he says to them, "how about you guys quit breaking my balls and let me and my guys do our jobs."

Sam turns to Frank not liking this one bit, "what are we doing here Frank?"

"What he said...we're stepping aside."

As soon as Frank is out of ear shot he turns to Nash knowing that neither of them like this or agree he says, "feeling up for a drive detective."

"Sure." she says and they go off in search of Oliver telling him and Epstein to release Dent just like Frank ordered, while he and Nash are going to check out the locations Blackstone talked about and see if they can find anything.

"Brother what's going on? I know there's something your not saying." Oliver says quietly.

"Andy and Nick are working under cover on this and we think they may have been compromised by the drug squad in an effort to speed everything along." Traci says while trying to stay calm for her best friend.

"McNally and Collins...shit. Alright you got it brother. Call if you need anything." Oliver says as they all head their separate ways.

Oliver and Dov escort Dent back to his company seeing as his car is still in impound while Sam goes to the arms dealership and Nash heads to the balloon store. As she's looking around an idea comes to her. She runs back to her car and radios for everyone to meet back at the barn. When they arrive she explains that when she was in college she walked for a party store and how they would need to have helium tanks delivered to use for blowing up balloons, but how the company didn't deal strictly in helium.

"They dealt with varieties of gas products...including propane. What if all these places use the same gas company? What if that's how the drugs are being transported?" Sam says thinking out loud. Before anyone can say another word Blackstone walks in with Frank in tow.

"What don't you people get about leaving this investigation alone?" Blackstone asks.

"The part about the two young officers you hung out to dry." Sam responds snidely thinking if anything happens to her.

"I told you people to leave this alone. That we were handling this. We're currently working on the warrants to take everyone down at once we want all of our ducks in a row before we take the next step." Blackstone responds.

"Fine...that means you have everything you need so pull our people out." Sam says standing up.

"I can't." Blackstone responds avoiding eye contact.

"What do you mean you can't?" Sam asks getting nervous now.

"Because I can't reach them. I haven't heard from Collins in 12 hours and I'm not making a move till I do." he says after taking a couple breaths.

"What about McNally?" Sam asks knowing it can't be good.

"She's been off the wire since this afternoon. I can't reach either of them." Blackstone answers.

As soon as Blackstone says he can't reach them Sam feels as if his heart has exploded. The woman he loves hasn't been heard from in hours, which means something is wrong he trained her...she's the best cop he's seen in years she doesn't just disappear.

"If you haven't heard from her that means something is wrong." Nash says from her desk.

"It's fine we have a team working on it." Blackstone says to them.

"It's not fine. McNally doesn't just disappear or go off wire. Something is wrong...very wrong." Sam says feeling like jello, but knows he has to keep it together if they want to find her and Collins.

Andy wakes up to find her wrists wrapped in duck tape as well as a piece across her mouth and she seems to be in the back of some truck. She manages to stand up and when the truck comes to a stop she prepares herself to kick out at whoever opens the truck bed door. The door opens and she kicks out, her foot comes into contact with Nicks face; she screams for him but everything is muffled by the tape.

"What's she doing here? That wasn't part of the agreement." Nick says.

"She broke into the house. Found her snooping around, so she had to come." Joey says as they head inside the warehouse.

"What the hell is going on guys. Seriously you tie up my girlfriend who in their right mind does something like that." Nick says removing the tape from Andy's mouth as another man enters the room.

"You two are here because we have a leak and no one is leaving here until we figure out which one of you it is." the new guy says.

"Leak...what do you mean leak?" Nick asks looking nervous.

"I'm William Burst, and someone namely one of you two here has been talking to Steve McGowan. One of you told him where to find the Meth and we're not leaving till I know who it is." Burst tells them looking between Andy and Nick.

"How exactly do you want us to prove ourselves?" Nick asks.

"Easy your going to shoot her." Burst says handing Nick a gun.

"What?" Nick and Andy ask at the same time.

"Your going to prove your loyalty by shooting her, because she's the leak." Burst says.

"What do you mean I'm the leak I don't even know what you people do." Andy says getting nervous yet forcing herself to look calm.

"I'm not going to shoot her." Nick tells them, "she doesn't know anything and she hasn't talked to anyone."

Joey walks over holding a gun to Nick's head, "it's her or both of you."

"I didn't do anything you can't do this I don't anything." Andy says as one of the other guys forces her onto her knees and holds her there.

Nick turns to her, "Nick come on you know I didn't do this. Please don't do this." she says holding her stomach.

"Trust me." Nick says.

"Trust you...what do you mean trust me." Andy says crying.

"Just look at me...trust me." he says again pulling the trigger but nothing happens.

"Good he can stay." Burst says to them, "but she can't so finish up here and meet back at the truck."

As soon as Burst leaves Nick tackles the one guy and yells for Andy to run. They manage to escape but know that they can't stop because they will be coming after them. Andy and Nick hide in some sort of lunchroom to catch their breath and try to figure out their next move.

"You okay?" Nick asks quietly.

"Am I okay? Are you serious right now you just pulled the trigger on me. You could have killed me." she says looking around to figure out their next move.

"The gun wasn't loaded Andy. I knew you'd be safe...I knew you'd both be safe." he whispers to her.

"How could you possibly know the gun wasn't loaded?" she asks him.

"I couldn't feel the extractor...the little pin signifying that the gun is loaded. I knew it wasn't loaded." he answers trying to calm her knowing the stress isn't good for her right now.

Andy crouches look out the open area window hoping to see a way out, but instead finding a phone attached to the wall. She immediately grabs the phone and begins dialling the number that hasn't left her mind in the last four months she's been gone. The moment he picks up tears come to her eyes, "Sam?"

"McNally?" he says as soon as he hears her beautiful voice.

"Yea it's me." she says to him softly.

"Where are you?" Sam asks.

"I'm fine thanks." she says sighing with relief.

"No where are you?" Sam asks again.

"Umm...looks like some kind of trucking warehouse. We could really use some back up. I saw some sort of logo it said BTI and it's inside of a red circle." she tells him hoping he can find them

"We gotta go." Nick says as soon as he hears voices.

"We gotta go." she says to him dropping the phone as they get up and run.

"McNally? McNally!" Sam shouts into the phone before getting in his car and driving off after the woman he loves.

Andy and Nick make their way to a door hoping to find this one unlocked, but unfortunately it's locked just like the others. They try to force it open but nothing works, so instead they get into the back of a trunk pulling the door closed behind them.

"So what are we just going to drive this thing out of here?" Nick asks looking around.

"No were going to lay low and wait for back up unless you have a better plan." she says to him holding her stomach.

"Your still mad." Nick says.

"Of course I'm mad you held a gun to my head and pulled the trigger. I'm going to be mad for a long time Nick." she responds sternly turning away from him.

She leans against the truck bed wall trying to stay calm. Nick comes to stand next to her. They hear voices so they move over to the door in order to hold it closed in case it's Burst and his guys. As soon as the door starts to open they grab it forcing it closed again until she hears that same rough voice that hasn't left her dreams in the last four almost five months.

"McNally...you in there? Open the door." he tells her.

"Oh my God." she whispers grabbing for the latch to throw open the door.

She can't help the smile that crosses her face when she sees him. "Hi." she says softly.

He takes a breath as his first real smile in months crosses his face showing off his dimples, "Hi. How was your trip?"

"Good." she says.

"How are you?" he asks.

Before she can respond she collapses and both Nick and Sam rush trying to catch her.

**Here's the newest chapter I hope you guys like it.**

**I don't own Rookie Blue**

Chapter 2

As soon as his eyes land on her he can't help that erratic beating of his heart or the smile spreading across his face. It's one of the first times he's smiled since she left. He can't take his eyes off of her face, afraid that if he does he'll wake up and none of this will be real. They exchange hellos and he asks how she is, but before she can answer she collapses. "McNally!" he shouts lunging forward.

Nick manages to catch her easing her to the floor, "Andy. Andy, open your eyes." he says while taking her pulse.

"We need medics in here at the rear part of the building at the truck bays." Sam says into his radio before dropping to his knees at her side. "McNally." he says softly taking her hand.

The medics arrive asking both Sam and Nick to move back so that they can get a better look at Andy. They call for a stretcher stating that she needs to be taken to hospital, then one of them turns to ask, "how far along is she?"

"Far along? What are you talking about Sam asks before noticing her slightly swollen stomach.

"She's about 5 months pregnant." Nick tells them as Andy is lifted onto the stretcher.

He can't believe it. Pregnant...the woman he loves is pregnant. "Oh God. McNally you have to be okay." he whispers to her before the medics wheel her way. Nick and Sam quickly follow behind without a word said between them.

"Sam?" she mutters as she slowly wakes up.

"Officer McNally, we're going to take you to Toronto General to get checked out." the medic tells her now that she's conscious.

"Andy!? Oh God...Andy!" Traci yells running towards the ambulance she's being loaded into.

"Miss you need to step back. We need to get her to the hospital to be seen by a doctor." the medics tell Traci.

"She's my best friend and I'm coming with her." Traci states getting into the back.

Sam exits the warehouse taking Nick to a medic to have him looked over. "I'm fine." Nick says to the medic, "where's my partner? Where's officer McNally?"

"She was taken by ambulance to Toronto General." the medic replies.

Sam runs off to his car once he knows where she's headed. He hears someone yelling his name in the background, but refuses to stop.

"Swarek!" Nick yells wanting to explain...wanting him to know the truth although he knows he's probably the last person Sam Swarek wants to talk too right now. Nick leaves the medic stating again that he's fine. He goes off in search of his boss wanting to explain to someone who can get through to Swarek knowing the truth before all hell breaks loose.

Xxx

"Andy what happened today?" Traci asks taking her hand.

"I'm not really sure exactly. Nick and I were at the apartment, but then Burst's guys showed up and took Nick with them." Andy says taking a couple breaths before continuing. "I called Blackstone, and told him what happened. He told me to go over to the house to see if Nick was there, but when I got there and it looked like no one was home so I went inside to see if I could find anything implicating them or the operation."

"Did you manage to find anything?" Traci asks.

"No the guy Joey who lived there came in while I was on his computer and when I tried to leave he hit me in the back of the head knocking me out. When I woke up I was in the back of a truck with my wrists taped together and tape on my mouth." Andy says softly hating how sad Traci looks.

Traci raises her hand to her mouth in shock, "oh my God Andy, that's awful."

Andy nods before saying, "ya and then they forced Nick to shoot."

"Oh my God. Please tell me his didn't go through with it." Traci says but can tell from her best friends face he did. "Sam is going to flip." Traci mutters knowing how much he still loves Andy and how he's been trying to get himself together for when she came home.

"Alright we're here Andy, a doctor is going to check you out to be sure everything is okay with both you and the baby." the medic tells Andy when they come to a stop.

She nods and looks up at Traci, "wait Trace, I need you to know something first."

"You can tell me anything Andy. I'm here for you no matter what." Traci says giving her hand a squeeze.

Andy places her free hand on her stomach before looking at Traci, "I'm sure everyone is going to think the baby's Nick's, but its not Trace...it's Sam's baby." she says starting to tear up.

"What do you mean it's Sam's baby?" Traci asks before the medic cuts them off.

"I'm sorry ladies but we really need to get Andy in to see the doctor." the medic says motioning for Traci to step back.

"I'll be right behind you sweetie. I'll head to the waiting room to wait for everyone and the doctor." Traci says stepping out right behind the stretcher catching Andy's quick nod.

"Trace, don't tell anyone please and don't let Nick either; he's the only other one that knows. I need to be the one Sam hears it from." Andy calls out as she's wheeled inside.

Traci makes her way to the waiting area still slightly in shock over Andy's news. Not only is she pregnant but she's pregnant with Sam Swarek's baby. Traci is brought out of her own head when the others start arriving and asking her questions.

"How is she?" Oliver asks.

"Nash is there any news on McNally?" Sam asks as he approaches.

"Sammy, can we talk in private for a second?" Frank asks bringing Traci back to the present.

"Sorry detective no news from the doctor, but Andy was awake when we arrived." Traci tells Sam before turning to Frank, "sir can you and I speak for a second."

"Can it wait Nash, I really need to speak with Sammy." Frank tells her.

"No sir it's important plus it's about Andy." Traci tells him.

Frank nods at the words important and Andy. Traci leads them across the room in order to avoid being overheard. When she's sure no one can over hear her especially Sam she turns and asks Frank, "you know don't you?"

"Know what exactly Nash?" he asks.

"You know about the baby don't you? That's why you wanted to Swarek alone." Traci says to him quietly.

"Yes, Collins found me at the scene. He wanted Sammy to know the truth about the baby and that he and McNally were never anything but friends." Frank tells Traci looking over at his pacing brother.

Traci looks over at Sam briefly before turning back to Frank, "you can't tell him sir."

"And why not detective?" Frank asks.

"Andy wants to tell him herself, she says it's only right that he hear the news from her." she replies.

"I'm Doctor Stevens...I'm looking for the McNally party?" the doctor asks coming out into the waiting area.

"Here." they all saying standing up and moving closer.

"Okay so it seems like Miss McNally collapsed due to anxiety and stress causing an increase in her blood pressure. She's awake now and everything seems to be fine, but we are going keep her overnight just to be sure. You can see her now if you'd like, but please only a few at a time as she needs her rest." he says before leaving to check on his other patients.

Xxx

Traci and the rest of the rookies go in to visit with McNally first. Traci sits next to Andy taking one of her hands while the others form a semi-circle around the bed.

"Good to see you with some colour back in your cheeks there partner." Nick says with a smile.

Andy gives him a little smile before looking at everyone else in the room. Even though she knows it's juvenile to act this childish she can't seem to forgive let alone forget the fact that Nick pulled the trigger on her. Yes it was to maintain their cover but still he was her partner and the circumstances weren't normal what if he had been wrong...what if everything hadn't worked out.

"So Andy, I guess congratulations are in order." Chris says coming closer to give her a hug.

"Thanks Chris, that's really sweet of you." she says hugging him back.

"Yea congrats Andy, I'm sure you and Nick will be wonderful parents." Gail mutters before walking out.

"Gail wait!" Andy and Nick say together. "Gail please let me explain." Andy shouts but Gail continues to leave.

"I'll go talk to her." Nick says turning and chasing after Gail.

"What's going on Andy? Chris and Dov asks looking around.

"Everything is going to be okay Andy, you just have to explain it all to everyone. Gail's just confused...I mean you and Nick left four months ago when no one knew you were pregnant and now you return with a baby bump." Traci says softly wanting to reassure her best friend.

Andy looks up at Dov and Chris and decides to start off by telling them the truth, "hey guys I need to tell you both something important." she tells them

"Sure. Shoot." they say together.

"Here goes nothing," she whispers to herself. "Guys the baby isn't Nick's it's actually Sam's I found out a couple weeks into the op." Andy tells them quickly just wanting to get it out in the open.

"Didn't see that one coming." Dov mutters.

"Well congrats Andy, but we should probably go I'm sure the others want to come visit." Chris says as he and Dov head for the door.

"Thanks for checking on me guys, you're the best but please don't say anything about the baby. I want to tell Sam before everyone finds out, since he deserves to hear this from me." Andy tells them before turning back to Traci, "God Traci, how am I supposed to tell Sam the truth? What if he wants nothing to do with me or this baby? What if he won't even hear me out?" Andy starts asking frantically.

"Andy calm down. You need to stay calm and relaxed for you as well as the baby." Traci says sitting back down when Andy gives her a nod and slight smile.

They sit their in silence until theirs a knock on the door. Both girls look up to see Oliver, Frank and Noelle standing in the doorway, "Can we come in?" Oliver asks.

Andy nods and waves them in with a smile, "of course please." she tells them.

"How are you feeling McNally?" Noelle asks.

"I'm good the doctor says that I need to take it easy for the next little bit. He also said that if I want to work it's strictly desk duty until this little one arrives." she says softly rubbing her swollen stomach.

They all smile at how motherly she already appears to be while Frank tells her, "that can be arranged."

"Thank you sir. I'm hoping to be able to work until the end but we'll have to see." she says to which he nods affirmatively.

As they all say their goodbyes Oliver wraps her in a hug whispering, "he still loves you," before leaving the room. Traci looks from Andy's puzzled face to Oliver's departing shadow wondering what that was about, but decides that if Andy wants to share she will. She decides that Andy should get some rest so she stands up to give her a quick hug. "I'm glad your okay Andy and please no more scares. I don't know what I would do without you. I'm going to head home to check on Leo, but you can call me if you need anything and I will see you tomorrow." she says heading out of the room.

"Thanks Traci, you're a really good friend." Andy calls out and Traci gives her a quick wave before turning down the hall.

With everyone gone Andy decides to try and get some sleep, but no matter how long she lays there with her eyes closed sleep just doesn't seem to come. So instead she thinks about the whole baby situation and how to break the news to Sam that he is the father not Nick, because she's sure he like everyone else will be thinking that Nick is the father. How is she even going to get him to listen though since she's probably the last person he wants to talk to after disappearing on him for four months. He likely wants nothing to do with her, but then if that's true what could Oliver have meant when he said, 'he still loves you.' Could he...could Sam Swarek still love her even though she left when all he wanted was a second chance to be together. With all the thoughts rolling around inside her head sleep finally comes for her plunging her into darkness.

Chapter 3

Sam looks around the gift shop wanting to get something nice for Andy, he settles on a stuffed bear along with flowers before heading to her room to see how she's feeling. He walks in setting down the bear and flowers next to her bed; seeing that Andy's asleep Sam decides to just sit there for awhile. Sam spends the time thinking about everything that's happened since she's been gone as well as everything that's happened between them since the first day they met in that alley where she tackled him.

"Sam..." Andy mutters.

"Andy, I'm here." Sam says taking Andy's hand and leaning closer.

"Hi." she says opening her eyes and seeing Sam next to her.

"Hey. How are you feeling?" he says flashing her a smile.

Looking up at Sam, Andy decides its time to get everything out in the open between them. "I'm good. Happy to be able to see everyone again." she tells him. Andy notices the flowers and bear out of the corner of her eye, "did you do that?" she asks him.

Sam rubs the back of his neck, "ya figured you could use something to lighten the place up, plus I know how you like flowers especially tulips." he says softly.

"Their beautiful thank you Sam." she says with a smile.

They sit in silence for a couple minutes as Andy tries to get her thoughts together; she knows that she has to tell him, so Andy takes a breath before quickly saying, "we need to talk."

At Sam's nod Andy says. "I need to tell you something, but before you say anything please just hear me out okay."

Sam gives her another nod urging her to continue.

Andy takes a deep breath placing her hands on her stomach before saying, "I know me coming back like this is probably a shock, but you need to know that Nick's not the father of my baby."

Sam is in a state of shock, when a thought comes to him. If Collin's isn't the father of McNally's baby then who is? Did she meet someone while she was gone? Sam is brought out of his head when Andy squeezes his hand calling his name.

"Sam...are you still here?" Andy asks.

"Umm ya sorry about that. What were you saying?" he asks in case he missed something.

"I said Nick isn't the father. A couple of weeks into the UC operation I got really sick and Nick rushed me to the hospital; that's when I found out about this little one." Andy tells him rubbing her stomach. She looks back up at him taking a breath before continuing, "the doctor did some tests and a little while later she came back and told me I was about 8 weeks pregnant."

"You're losing me here McNally." Sam tells her getting a little lost.

"Sam what I'm trying to tell you is that when I left for UC I was already pregnant." she says. When Andy sees that he's still unsure she decides to just tell him outright, "Sam the baby's yours."

As soon as the words are out of her mouth his jaw drops and he's up on his feet pacing in absolute shock. Did he just hear her right, he's the father? How could that be she's been gone for months and they broke up a couple weeks before she even left. Sam turns back stopping in front of her bed, "Really?" he asks wanting to be sure he heard her right.

"Yes Sam, I haven't been with anyone since you." she tells him.

"I'm going to be a dad." Sam says smiling at her. He sits back down next to her taking her hand in his. "I can't believe this Andy, this is amazing." he says bringing her hand to his lips. Sam can't help but smile all he's wanted for the last four months was to have McNally back in his life and try to work on things and now with this news he might just get that chance.

"I'm sorry I left Sam, I want you to know that I've regretted it since the day I left." she tells him as a tear runs down her cheek.

Sam wipes away the stray tear whispering, "it's okay I understand that you had to go and I want you to know that I never blamed you for leaving." He holds up a hand stopping her when she goes to talk, "Please let me finish Andy."

She nods wanting to hear him out knowing how hard it is for Sam to open up to people.

"I screwed everything up Andy. I pushed you away when Jerry died. I just gave up...not with just you but with everybody. I figured if I kept everyone at a distance I couldn't be hurt by anyone or anything; but I was wrong and this time I caused the hurt myself and I'm sorry." Sam says looking her straight in the face.

Andy swipes at the tears falling down her cheeks. "It wasn't just you Sam. I left when you wanted to try and work things out, so I'm just as much at fault in this." she tells him.

"Andy, I want you to know that I meant it when I said I love you and I still mean it. I never stopped loving you. I've spent the last four months trying to work on making myself a better and more open person, so that I could prove to you that I want us to work. Andy, I know it's going to take a lot of time and effort, but I want to do whatever it takes to show you everyday that I love you." Sam says wiping away her tears while pressing a kiss to her forehead.

"I never stopped loving you either Sam, but I don't want to rush anything between us. It's not just you and me anymore Sam, this baby is going to expect both of us to be there whether were together or not." Andy says taking his hand and setting it on her baby bump.

"Andy, I'm here for you...for both of you and there is no where else I'd rather be." he says rubbing Andy's stomach.

Andy can't help the smile that spreads across her face as she watches Sam rub her stomach and mutter sweet words as he leans in close. After a few minutes a nurse comes in telling them that visiting hours are now over and that Sam will have to leave for the night, but can come back tomorrow. He stands up giving her stomach another quick rub, "call me if you need anything. Oh and Andy, if you're up for it I'd really like to show you something after you get out of here tomorrow." Sam says heading for the door.

"I'd love to and thanks again for the bear and flowers." Andy says watching him leave.

"Your welcome McNally, now get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow." he says just before turning the corner.

Xxx

When Sam gets back home he's greeted at the door by Boo, "Hey buddy, sorry I'm late." he says leading the husky to the back door to let him out while he fills his food and water dishes. After letting Boo back in to eat Sam heads for the living room to watch something while thinking about and digesting everything he learnt today. Sam never thought about falling in love or having kids when he was younger, but now that he knows going to be a father he couldn't imagine his life any other way except for having it so that he and McNally were still together. Sam decides that tomorrow after Andy is released from the hospital he'll bring her back here to introduce her to Boo before taking her out to her favourite restaurant.

Boo comes over to the couch once he's finished eating. He jumps up laying down next to Sam with his hand on Sam's lap.

"Hey buddy." Sam says giving Boo a nice tummy rub. "You want to meet McNally tomorrow buddy." Sam says.

Boo let's out a bark while moving closer as if saying yes he wants to meet Andy. Sam smiles at the husky, loving him more with every minute he spends with him. Sam scratches Boo behind his ears while looking for something to watch on tv settling on a hockey game. After the game ends Sam decides to call it a night, since he wants to be up and out early to visit with Andy before heading over to the station.

Chapter 4

Andy lays there wide awake thinking over her conversation with Sam, from her telling him he's the father of her baby to them both confessing that they still love each other. The thought of still loving Sam scares her, but she knows it's the truth. Deep down Andy knows that he's her person; that he's the final piece of the puzzle for her, but at the same time she knows they didn't work before for a reason. She wants to believe that they can change this and make it work this time, but it's nerve racking because this time there's a baby to think about because he or she is going to expect them both to be there no matter what. Slow Andy tells herself they need to take it one day at a time and if they really want it to work this time they'll have to be open and communicate with each other. After what feels like hours Andy finally manages to settle down enough to allow for sleep to come.

The next morning Andy awakens to find Gail pacing the length of the room. "Gail what are you doing here?" Andy asks surprised after her departure yesterday.

Gail turns to look over at Andy at a loss for words. After talking with Nick last night Gail can't help but feel horrible for treating a friend like she did last night; she may be icy with most people in the outside world but she'd like to believe she isn't with her friends.

"Andy, I came here to tell you I'm sorry." Gail says holding her hand up, "Just let me finish...please."

At Andy's nod she continues, "I jumped to conclusions yesterday about the baby and about you and Nick. I'm sorry I should have heard you out instead of walking away to sulk. I guess it's just that after you guys left for UC I figured when you guys came back everything would be different; and it was because now here you are pregnant and glowing, but I am happy for you Andy your going to be a great mom." Gail says moving closer to the bed.

Sam stops just outside the door when he hears Peck talking to McNally, not wanting to interrupt or intrude. When he hears her tell McNally she's going to be a great mom he can't help but smile knowing it's true; even though, he's sure she'll doubt herself at least at first. He vows to himself to be there and show her everyday how amazing she truly is and how wonderful she'll be as a mother.

"It's okay Gail. I would have reacted the same way if someone went away on a UC job with my boyfriend for months and then came back looking like I do now. I mean of course everyone is going to think the baby is Nick's but it's Sam's and once I'm out of here I'm going to let everyone know that now that Sam knows." Andy tells her.

"Still I'm really sorry for the way I acted Andy and I'm really happy for you two." Gail says giving Andy a hug.

"Well I better go before I'm late for shift." Gail says heading for the door.

When she turns the corner she sees Sam leaning against the wall. She stops in front of him, "you better not bail on her or that baby, it's going to need you both...more than anything else. I know I have no right to tell you how to do things but I consider Andy a friend and we have all seen you around the barn for the last four months. Anyways I should go before I'm late and Frank has me on desk for a week." Gail says turning and heading down the hall.

Sam turns making his way inside Andy's room, "morning." he says when his eyes meet hers.

"Morning...shouldn't you be at work." she says to him.

"I'm headed there next but I wanted to check in on you and the little one first." Sam tells her coming in closer.

"We're fine Sam. I'm hoping that the doctor will let me out of here soon." Andy says with a slight smirk.

"Fingers crossed." Sam says. "I should probably get going, but your still okay with getting together later after you're released right?" Sam asks laying his hand on her stomach to let the baby know he's there.

"Ya. I'm looking forward it." Andy tell him placing her hand overtop of his.

"Great...I can't wait, but I should get going before I'm late." Sam says heading towards the door. He turns back saying, "call me if the doctor let's you out before my shift is up and I'll come pick you up."

"You don't have too Sam, I can always call my dad or Traci. I don't want to get you into trouble with Frank." she tells him.

"He'll understand McNally, but I really should go. I'll see you after." Sam says walking out.

When Sam gets to the station he's heads for his desk in the D's office since he missed parade today. He walks in spotting Nash at her desk. "Morning Nash." he says sitting down.

"Morning detective. Missed you at parade this morning." Traci says looking up at Sam.

"Ya had to be somewhere earlier. What all did I miss?" he says sitting down.

Traci raises an eyebrow at him wondering what could have made Sam Swarek decide to skip out on parade, but he gives nothing away. She smirks at him before answering, "patrol is focusing on traffic stops for speeders, Shaw and Peck are checking out a possible B&amp;E, while I'm just finishing up some paperwork. So care to tell me where you were this morning?"

"Nice try Nash and thanks for the updates." Sam says turning to his own computer screen.

Traci turns to her computer, but can't help wondering. In the entire four years she's been at 15 division she's never seen him miss parade, but who knows yesterday was a big day for everyone with Andy and Nick returning; especially when it came to finding out Andy's pregnant. Traci glances over her shoulder to catch a peak of Sam, she wonders if he's even seen Andy but figures it's not her place to ask.

Sam can tell Traci's curious about this morning, but he's not ready to talk about it yet; he's still processing everything himself. Although ever since he joined the D's he's found that they've become closer, since their basically partners.

"Nash, feeling like going to grab some lunch?" Sam asks when he sees the time.

"Actually I was thinking I might go check on Andy. I haven't heard from her today and I'm curious about when they plan on releasing her." Traci says grabbing her purse. "You wanna come we can all eat crappy hospital food together." she says on a laugh.

"Thanks but you two have fun, I think I'll just grab a sandwich down the street." Sam says finishing off something on his screen.

"Oh okay see you after partner." Traci says heading for the door.

"I'll be here when you get back." Sam says to her.

Traci walks in to see Andy flipping through the channels on the tv, "they haven't let you out of here yet?" she says coming to sit in the chair next to the bed.

"Nope doctor said probably in the next hour or so, he just wants to check my blood pressure again to be sure everything's good." Andy says putting the remote down. "So what brought you here?"

"Thought I'd come check on you. Didn't want you going stir crazy, plus I didn't get a chance to come see you before work this morning." she says on a laugh.

"That's probably a good thing since I had a couple other visitors this morning." Andy tells her hitting the power button on the remote.

"Who?" Traci asks wondering if her hunch was right and this was why Sam was late.

"Well Gail came to apologize for yesterday and then Sam showed up..."

"Oh wow, so did you tell him?" Traci asks cutting her off.

"I told him last night. He came to visit last night after everyone else left." Andy tells her smiling to herself.

"So how did he take it?" Traci asks.

"Really well actually. He wants to talk more about everything once I get out of here and he told me had wanted to show me something." Andy says while mumbling, "and he told me he still loves me."

Traci looks over at her best friend and can't help the smile crossing her face. Her and Sam have gotten to be more like friends rather then acquaintances since Andy's been gone and Traci is one of the inner circle few that know about Boo and the fact that Sam's been wanting to fix everything. She's happy for the both of them knowing neither of them stopped loving the other, and that they both simply got scared when things got tough.

"Well that's good right...it's a start at least." Traci says.

"It is. I just hope we can figure everything out between us before this little joins the party." Andy says running her hand against her stomach.

"Well you'll never know if you don't try." Traci tells her. "So did you tell him yes to the talk and everything?"

Andy nods saying, "he told me to call him once the doctor says I can go, said he'd come pick me up that way we can talk and grab some dinner. Plus he can show me whatever it is he wants me to see."

"That's great Andy really great."

"I told him that we have to do it slow this time, because if this doesn't work out again we aren't the only ones affected. This baby is going to need the both of us so before we do anything we have to be sure." Andy says as Traci nods.

"Your right sweetie, but you have to remember not to lock your heart away either okay." Traci says giving her hand a quick squeeze. "I should probably go but call me when you get home and remember we're all here for you and this baby we're family." Traci says standing up to give her a hug.

"Thanks Trace, I really appreciate it."

Chapter 5

After dinner they walk back to Sam's truck hand in hand. Sam opens up the passenger side door for Andy helping her up into the truck before getting into the driver's seat. "So are you ready to meet a friend?" Sam asks pulling out of the restaurant parking lot.

"Ya but can I at least know who I'm meeting?" Andy asks.

"I don't want to give anything away, but I will tell you that he's very important to me and I hope you like him." Sam says smiling to himself.

Andy spends most of the drive wondering who she's meeting while also smiling and laughing with Sam. They pull into Sam's driveway and Andy is immediately on high alert wondering what they're doing here. Before she can ask Sam what they're doing here he's at the door helping her out of the truck and leading her up to his front door.

When they reach the door Sam turns to her asking, "ready?"

Andy nods, "I think so." she says softly.

The moment Sam opens the door he hears Boo come running and can't help his smile. Sam and Andy walk inside and are almost immediately tackled, "Boo sit." Sam says to Boo.

"Boo?" Andy asks before reaching down to scratch Boo's head.

"Ya his name is Boo...Boo Radley. I adopted him from the pound after you left for UC." Sam says watching Andy smiling and petting Boo.

"He's beautiful Sam and you were right Boo Radley is a great name for a dog." Andy says looking up at him.

"Thanks Andy, want to come sit and I'll tell you all about him?" Sam asks.

"I'd love that Sam." she tells him standing up.

Sam tells Andy to take a seat on the couch and relax while he grabs them something to drink. He can't help but smile when he walks back into the living room and sees Boo snuggled up next to Andy on the couch. "Guess someone made a new friend." Sam says setting a glass of water down in front of Andy.

"I can't help it if I'm irresistible." Andy says with a smirk.

"Well you're right about that you're definitely irresistible." Sam says sitting down next to her.

"Thanks." she replies softly with a slight blush.

Sam reaches over to run fingers lighting across her rosy cheek. Andy looks over at Sam and smiles loving the feeling of his fingers on her skin. "So how did you two meet?" Andy asks with a smirk.

Boo let's out a soft bark before rubbing his head on Andy's leg.

"After you left I was upset and frustrated, but not really with you more with myself. As I told you earlier I blamed myself for what happened between us, so when you didn't show up at the Penny or at the barn the next day I knew I had chased you away." Sam says holding his hand up to stop Andy in her tracks.

"Please wait Andy." he says and when she nods he continues, "so for awhile after you left I was withdrawn from everyone but deep down I knew that if I wanted to prove myself to be a better and more worthy man I needed to smarten up. Then and there I decided to become a detective in an attempt to get myself back on track and about 2 months later I received my gold shield."

"Congrats Sam, you deserve it." Andy says cutting him off mid-thought.

"Thanks...now back to this little guy." Sam says looking down at Boo. "Even after becoming a detective I still felt like there was more that I could do to show you that I meant everything I said before you left. So about a week after you left for UC I decided to check out the pound and after about 20 minutes of walking around I spotted this little guy. He was found abandoned about a year ago and the moment I laid eyes on him my heart melted." Sam tells her with a smirk.

Andy wipes at her eyes she can't believe how open he's being with her...this is probably the most Sam as ever said at one time to her or anyone. She looks from Sam to Boo and back to Sam, she can see the love in his eyes for all of them. She leans down to give Boo a kiss before saying, "that's beautiful Sam and so is Boo."

"I never thought I could love someone as much as I love you but I was wrong because I love this guy here and I will love our baby so much." Sam says placing his hand on Andy's stomach just in time to feel the baby kick. "Wow somebody's strong."

"Very strong...he takes after his daddy." Andy tells him.

"He...does that mean you know the sex of the baby?" Sam asks curious.

"The doctor did an ultrasound today, but this little guy didn't want to co-operate so no it's not for sure. I just feel like I'm having a boy, but hopefully when I go back in two weeks I'll be able to know for sure." Andy tells him as they rub her belly together.

"We McNally...we will know because I'd like to be there if that's alright. I meant what I said earlier I want to give us another shot and I'd like to be here for you and the baby for everything." Sam tells her hoping she agrees.

"Of course Sam, I'm sorry I guess I'm still wrapping my head around everything...I mean I have been alone in this for the most part." Andy says softly avoiding eye contact.

Sam reaches over taking her hand in his and intertwining their fingers, "you're not alone anymore McNally. I'm here now and will be for however long you're willing to have me." he says rubbing circles along her waist.

Andy looks from their hands up to his face, "thank you Sam...I really appreciate you saying that." Andy says softly leaning over to kiss Sam's cheek.

The moment her lips touch his skin he feels alive...as if his skins on fire. He's missed this...he's missed her more than words can describe. Boo hops off the couch heading for the back door and starting to whimper as soon as he gets there. "Be right back." Sam says getting up to let Boo out.

Sam comes back sitting down next to Andy on the couch. He wraps an arm around Andy's shoulder pulling her close and when she doesn't pull away Sam presses a kiss to her temple. Andy looks up at him and smiles, "if you keep acting sweet like this I won't be able to able to stay away from you." Andy whispers.

"That sounds good to me McNally." Sam tells her with a smirk.

**Here is the newest chapter I hope you all enjoy.**

Chapter 6

Andy wakes up thinking about everything that has gone on these last two weeks since she and Nick got back from UC. She still can't believe how sweet and helpful Sam has been since finding out about the baby. Sam continues to show her on a daily basis how much he wants them to work as well as how much he cares for her and their baby. Today is just another example of that, because today is the day they're going to find out what they're having. After a few more minutes of relaxing in bed Andy decides she should get up, so that she can shower, eat, and get ready before Sam shows up to drive them to her doctor's appointment.

Across town Sam wakes up to find Boo sitting on the floor next to his bed, "morning buddy," he mumbles bringing Boo a little closer. At Boo's bark Sam gets out of bed heading for the back door with Boo running in front to sit at it waiting patiently to be let out. After letting Boo outside Sam decides to go take a quick shower before he has to go pick up Andy for the doctor's appointment. Just the thought of her brings a smile to his lips...they have started to get close again over the last two weeks. After his shower Sam heads back to the kitchen to fill up Boo's food and water dishes before letting him back inside. As soon as Sam opens the back door Boo comes rushing inside running straight for his food dish, Sam smirks at the pup before grabbing his keys and heading for his truck.

Sam spends the drive over thinking about the last two weeks and everything that has happened since Andy walked back into his life. They have been spending quite a bit of time together over the last two weeks and he hopes that they can spend even more time together in the future. Sam smiles at the thought of the future; their future with their little one and hopefully with them together...if Sam has any say in the matter. They had agreed to take things slow in order to work on their past issues, but deep down Sam knows he doesn't want to take things slow anymore he just wants to be with Andy and prove to her that he'll never give up on them again. When Sam pulls up to Andy's apartment he quickly parks and turns off the truck before making his way to her door to ring the bell.

"Coming," Andy calls out as she heads for the front door. She can't fight the smile playing across her face when she opens the door and sees Sam standing on the other side. Before she can get a word out Sam decides to say something, "morning McNally, are you ready to go?"

Andy gives her head a little shake bringing herself back to reality, "almost but please come inside." Andy says taking a step back to let him pass.

"Thanks and you look beautiful McNally," Sam whispers in passing.

Andy can't help the little shiver that Sam's words and breath on her skin cause. "Sam I'm in a robe...I'll be right back just need to get dressed and then we can go." she says heading towards her bedroom, "Oh and Sam if your hungry there's some eggs and bacon on the counter I made extra."

"Thanks Andy." Sam says as she heads back into her bedroom.

Andy leans up against the door as soon as it's closed and let's out a little sigh. She stays there for a few seconds rubbing her baby bump in absolute bliss...these past two weeks with Sam have been amazing. Andy heads for her closet grabbing a pair of dark wash jeans and a light blue loose fitting blouse; once she's dressed she quickly throws her hair up in a ponytail before heading back into the kitchen.

"You ready to go?" Andy asks walking into the kitchen.

"You bet." he states making his way over to Andy taking her hand in his. Sam leads Andy out to his truck opening up the passenger side door and helping her up inside before walking around and getting in himself. "Time to go find out who we have here." Sam says laying a hand on Andy's baby bump briefly before starting the truck and heading out.

Andy can't help her smile when Sam places his hand on her stomach. "Any guesses as to whether it's a boy or a girl?" Andy asks.

Sam looks over at Andy when he stops at a red light, "either sounds good to me...all I care about is that he or she is healthy." he says with a smile just before the light turns green.

"Yes that is the most important part." Andy says rubbing her stomach as the baby gives a kick.

A few minutes later Sam pulls into the hospital parking lot. He pulls into the closet free parking lot he can find. After parking and turning the truck off Sam just sits there for a second letting everything about Andy and the baby soak in. Sam decides to make his move regarding Andy and the baby and their future together, so before she can open the door Sam turns to her taking her hands in his. "Andy can we take a couple of minute and talk before we head inside?" Sam asks.

"Umm...sure Sam, we have a few minutes before we need to go inside." Andy says turning to look at him.

Sam takes a deep breath before he begins, "okay first off Andy, I know we both decided it was best that we take things slow and we have been. I mean these past couple of weeks have been amazing and they have simply made me realize even more how much I love and care for you as well as our baby. What I'm trying to say Andy, is I don't want to take things slow anymore, I want us to be a family...all three of us."

Andy can't believe her ears, but she can't help feeling the exact same way; although she's still worried about Sam potentially leaving again. After a few seconds Andy decides that if Sam can open up and be honest she should too. "Sam I love you too and yes I wanted to take things slow, but we have history...some parts good and some parts not so good." Andy says softly.

"Andy I know I screwed up all those months ago..." Sam starts before being cut off.

"Sam please just let me finish or else we're going to be late," at his nod Andy continues; "Sam I want the three of us to be a family too, but we should probably finish this conversation later before we're late." Andy says quickly.

Sam pulls her into a quick kiss before getting out of the truck and helping Andy out. They walk up to the entrance hand in hand. After checking in at the front desk they take a seat waiting for the nurse to call their names. As they wait for the nurse Sam turns to Andy whispering, "thank you." in her ear.

Andy can't help how just the sound of Sam's voice makes her shiver as well as smile all at the same time. She turns to face him, smiling when she sees all the love he has for her and their baby in his eyes. Andy leans in close capturing his lips with her own in a passionate kiss.

They break apart when some calls for them, "Andy McNally?" the nurse calls out.

"Yes." Andy says standing up.

"The doctor will see you now if you'll just follow me." the nurse says leading both Sam and Andy to an exam room.

"You ready for this?" Sam asks helping Andy up onto the bed once the nurse leaves.

"Of course I'm ready, we get to see our baby." Andy says with a smile.

Before Sam can say anything more the doctor walks in, "how are you doing today Andy? Feeling okay?" Dr. Anders asks coming to sit on a stool next to the bed.

"I'm good, thank you." Andy tells her as Sam rubs her shoulders.

"That's great to hear Andy. Now how about we see how your little one is doing today and if we're lucky we'll be able to see what you two are having." Dr Anders says bringing the ultrasound machine closer.

"Sounds good." Andy says pulling her shirt up a bit exposing her swollen stomach.

"Okay Andy, this is probably going to feel a little cold." Dr. Anders says before squeezing some gel out onto Andy's stomach.

Sam takes Andy's hand as Dr. Anders begins moving to the wand around in the gel on Andy's stomach. The pair can't help their smiles at the sound of their baby's heartbeat.

"Here's your little one." Dr. Anders says turning the screen around so that Andy and Sam can both see. "Everything looks great, your baby looks to be very healthy. Now do you two want to know the sex or are we keeping it a surprise?" Dr. Anders asks looking up to meet their eyes.

Sam and Andy look at each other already knowing the answer, since it's almost all that they've talked about for the part two weeks. "We'd like to know the sex." Andy says as Sam gives her hand a light squeeze.

"Well then I'm happy to tell you...it's a boy." Dr. Anders tell them.

"Did you hear her Andy, you were right...we're going to have a little boy." Sam says with a proud smile.

Andy can't help but smile at the news, a little boy...their going to have a little boy and she has the perfect name in mind as long as she can get Sam to agree.

Dr. Anders removes the wand from Andy's stomach before grabbing a paper towel to clean Andy up. "Alright I will see you two again in about a months time, but until then here you go." Dr. Anders says handing them a copy of the newest ultrasound pictures before leaving the room.

Andy finishes cleaning herself up before rolling her top back down and sitting up. "So what do you have planned for the rest of your day off?" Andy asks turning to look at Sam.

"I was thinking maybe if you were up for it we could go back to my place and I could make us something to eat. Then we could talk some more about us and maybe discuss our plans for telling everyone down at 15 about our little guy here." Sam says leaning down to press a kiss to Andy's stomach.

"Sounds perfect." Andy says taking Sam's outstretched to help herself down.

**Sorry for the delay in updating I have been a little scatter brained lately with things going on a work, but I am still working on this story so please bare with me.**

Chapter 7

When they arrive back at the house Sam quickly gets out making his way around to help Andy out before leading them up to the front door. As soon as Sam opens the door they are greeted by an excited Boo, who can't help his wagging tail.

"Hey buddy." Sam says leaning down to pet him before leading him back, so that they can get inside.

Andy walks inside closing the door behind her before making her way towards Sam and Boo. "Such a sweetheart." Andy says when she gets close enough to give Boo a quick scratch.

"That he is, but he's not the only one." Sam says giving Andy one of his signature dimpled smiles as he stands up pulling her into a hug.

Andy can't help the smile and blush creeping into her face.

"So what do you feel like having to eat?" Sam asks as he takes a step back.

After about a minute of silent pondering Andy answers, "how about some of your famous macaroni and cheese."

Sam smirks, "famous...I like the sound of that. How about while I get lunch ready you go relax on the couch and I'll bring it out when it's done." he says.

"Sounds great." Andy says giving Sam a peck on the cheek.

A little while later Sam walks into the living room carrying a tray with two bowls of mac and cheese along with two drinks. Sam smiles when he notices a sleeping Andy, he sets the tray down lightly on the coffee table not wanting to wake her just yet. He then takes out his phone taking a picture of Andy asleep on the couch with her arms wrapped around her swollen stomach as if she's hugging their unborn child, while Boo lays on the floor next to the couch. Sam puts his phone away afterwards taking a second to just stand there and admire the scene thinking to himself 'my family.' After a couple seconds later he walks around to the end of the couch where Andy's head is; he crouches down whispering, "Andy lunch is ready...time to get up."

Andy opens her eyes a few seconds later and just like every other time they are both blown away by the amount of love they see in each others eyes. "Hey." she whispers slowly sitting up.

"Did you have a nice nap?" Sam asks moving to sit next to her on the couch, before pulling the tray of food closer.

Andy lets out a little laugh. "I did although I wasn't planning on falling asleep when I came in here, but your couch is just so soft and comfortable." she says reaching for her bowl.

Sam smiles over at her when she takes her first bite letting out a soft moan. "Good?" he asks.

"The best...just how I remember it." she answers before taking another bite.

"I'm glad you like it." Sam says watching her.

"Well I did say it was famous and it's delicious too." Andy says with a smile.

"Thanks." Sam says taking a deep breath. He sets his bowl down and turns to face Andy, "I know that this is probably a bad time, but I was wondering if you would be up to continuing our earlier conversation?" Sam asks slightly nervous.

Andy finishes the last few bites before answering, "I think now is a good time, so what part would you like to talk about first?"

"Us. I think we should start with us." Sam says before continuing, "we both agreed that the main thing we want is for the three us to be a family, but what exactly does that mean?"

"Well I want us to raise him together...I want us to be together if you still want that too." Andy says finishing off in a nervous whisper.

Sam's mouth goes a little dry when he hears her say that she wants them to be together. "Of course I still want that. Andy all I've wanted since the day you left was for us to be together again." Sam says before pulling her into a kiss. As their lips move together Sam decides to deepen the kiss, running in tongue along Andy's bottom lip and when she lets out a moan he slips his tongue in wrapping his around hers as they battle for dominance. When they break apart breathless Sam rests his head against hers whispering, "move in with me," before Andy can reply Sam continues, "I know you're probably thinking that this is too fast seeing as we just got back together about a minute ago," Sam says on a laugh, "but Andy I love you and I want us all under one roof living as a family...you, me, and our little rookie."

Andy sits still while internally going over everything Sam's said today. After a couple of minutes she returns to the present and a nervous looking Sam, "I want to say yes...I really do, but Sam I don't want to rush this and end up screwing it up again." Andy says softly.

Sam takes her hands in his giving them a light squeeze, "I know you're scared and that's okay. It's normal to be scared...heck I'm scared, but I honestly believe that we're strong enough to handle anything that the world throws at us."

Andy looks up meeting Sam's eyes, "but how do you know, I mean we've screwed this up before." she whispers.

"Because we've been through this before." he answers. Seeing her confused look he decides to explain further, "Andy we have both run away in the past, but each time we came back to each other. What I'm trying to say is we're meant to be together...you're it for me and I wouldn't have it any other way McNally." Sam says finishing off with a smirk when he uses my last name.

When Andy still remains silent Sam decides on another possible idea, "if you want we can take some time maybe look at some bigger houses...ones with four bedrooms that way we have a guest room, baby room, and if it would make you feel more comfortable we can each have our own rooms until your ready." Sam says making circles on the back of her hands.

The words 'own rooms' and 'until your ready' keeps running through Andy's head for what feels like hours but is actually mere minutes. Andy looks down at their entwined hands then back up to Sam's face; she sees the love he has for her in his eyes and she can feel it in his touch as he holds her hands. Its as if something clicks inside of her causing everything to become so clear, because all of a sudden she's not so scared anymore. She knows that Sam is right they have been through so much together whether good or bad, and every time they are led back to each other. "You're my person." Andy whispers out loud to herself as if for the first time truly listening to her heart.

"Let's do it...let's move in together. Although I think we should probably go with four bedrooms not because I want to have my own, but this way we can have to free rooms for guests; plus one can be your doghouse room for when your bad." Andy says starting to laugh.

"Very funny McNally." Sam says with a smirk. "No more running McNally." Sam tells her softly before pulling her into a breath taking kiss.

"No more running." Andy whispers against his lips when they pull apart.

Sam can't help the smile playing across his lips. Until he met Andy 4 years ago Sam always figured his life would solely be about his job, more specifically his undercover work because until that fateful day when she arrested him in an alley that was all he cared about. Afterwards though his mind slowly shifted to other things, but even when her and Callaghan were a couple Sam couldn't erase her from his thoughts; and when it was finally their time Sam slowly realized what he truly wanted out of life. He surprisingly discovered that he wanted kids, park on Sunday's, real life all with Andy and even after she left no matter how hard he tried he couldn't get it out of his mind. Now Sam rests his hands against Andy's stomach and can't help but think that the future he never realized he wanted until he thought it was to late was finally coming true.

Boo lets out a bark startling both Sam and Andy. "What's up buddy?" Sam asks dropping a hand down onto Boo's head. Boo turns his head licking Sam's hand before jumping up into his lap laying his head down on Andy thigh.

"I think he likes the idea of us living together and being a family." Andy says running her hand along Boo's back and side.

Sam smiles at Andy and Boo. He sets his hand on top of Andy's, "me too." he says looking at both of them. Sam leans forward pressing his lips to hers whispering, "I love you."

"I love you too." Andy says with a soft smile. "Sam I know we should probably talk about the living arrangements, but first I want to run something past you."

"Sure shoot." he responds.

"I know this probably seems like its coming out of no where but I want you to know I have thought about this since the day I found out I was pregnant." Andy says taking a breath to calm her nerves.

Sam takes Andy's hands in his, "you can tell me anything."

Andy nods her head before continuing on, "Sam I love you and yes I know I already said that but I needed you to know it again especially when I tell you that I know what I want to name our baby, I just hope you like it." Sam nods urging her to continue, "I want to name the baby Jeremy in memory of Jerry, because he was such a great friend to you and I honestly don't think we would have ended up here without his help, pushing us both to give this a chance back in the beginning."

Sam sits there speechless thinking, 'she wants to name the baby after Jerry even after what he did when he died.' Sam can't help feeling a little shocked, but is brought back to reality when he feels Andy's hand on his face. He looks up seeing both worry and love in her features, which brings a sweet smile to his face. "Yes." he says. "I love it and Jerry would too, but I have one request too."

"Anything." Andy tells him.

"I want Oliver and Nash to be the baby's godparents...guardians whatever you call it. I just know that if something was to ever happen to us those are the two main people I want care for this little man right here." Sam says leaning down to press a kiss to Andy's stomach. When he pulls back ever so slightly Sam places his hand where his lips were moments ago and whispers, "I love you Jeremy."

* * *

**Please feel free to let me know your thoughts and yes I realize a lot of other stories are using the name Jeremy for their son in memory of Jerry, I used it that way too but also because I really like the name.**

**Well until next time :)**


	8. Chapter 8

**First off Happy New Year everyone. Sorry it has been so long since I last updated I had a hectic two weeks during the holidays and I have been trying to post this new chapter for a couple of days but my computer/internet hasn't wanting to cooperate.**

**I don't own Rookie Blue or it's characters.**

* * *

Chapter 8

All of a sudden Sam hears Andy's stomach let out a loud growl startling a sleeping Boo right off the couch. "Sounds like someone's hungry again." Sam says with a smirk.

Andy instantly turns red from embarrassment while muttering, "we've been talking for hours."

Hearing this fact Sam digs out his phone to check the time and notices that they have been sitting around talking for close to 3 hours. "Geez...it has been hours, I guess time really does fly when people are having fun." Sam says letting out a light laugh. "How about we go out for dinner and then maybe if you feel up to it we could meet up with everyone at the penny after their shift ends, since I'm sure the ladies are dying to hear how today's ultrasound went." Sam says while secretly just wanting to tell everyone that he's going to have a son.

Andy looks up smiling at the mention of dinner and then when Sam brings up going to the penny afterwards she can't help but smile just a little bit more. She loves seeing this side of Sam, the side where he's genuinely happy and at peace. "That sounds like fun. Plus Oliver has been begging me to tell him the minute I found anything out, so I say you message him and tell him to round everyone up at the penny tonight after shift." Andy tells him watching as his eyes come alive with joy.

Sam leans in to give Andy a quick kiss; however, when she nips at his bottom lip causing him to moan she slips her tongue inside his mouth. Sam let's Andy explore his mouth for a brief few seconds before he tangles his tongue with her own as he moves closer slowly laying her down on the couch.

Andy moans into Sam's mouth as their tongues battle for dominance well exploring each others mouths as she runs her hands down Sam's back. When her hands reach the hem of his shirt she slips them underneath to touch his bare skin slowly moving them back up his sides, bringing a growl from Sam. They break the kiss breathless, but Sam quick moves on to kiss his way along Andy's neck bringing soft moans from her.

"I've missed this." Andy says on a whisper bringing Sam's lips back to hers for another kiss.

Sam peppers her lips in sweet kisses before pulling back to stare down at her, "you are absolutely gorgeous and I have missed you everyday since I left you in that parking lot. I can't tell you how sorry I am for that, but I will spend everyday of my life making it up to you if you'll let me." he tells her putting a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

"We both made mistakes Sam, and now we are going to wipe the slate clean because this is our new beginning." she says to him taking his hand in hers and resting it on her stomach. The baby gives a kick the moment their hands touch Andy's stomach bringing a smile to both their faces, "see even Jeremy agrees with me."

"That's because he's smart just like his dad." Sam says with a smirk, "now how about we go get you something to eat."

Andy laughs a little while nodding in agreement, so Sam stands up reaching out to help Andy up as well. "I'm just go use the bathroom, I'll be right back." Andy says before walking off.

Sam decides to use this time to let Boo outside to do his business before they head out, since they could be gone for quite a while. "Come on Buddy." Sam says as he makes his way to the back door. He follows Boo outside deciding to play with the pup for a little bit before they go. When they get outside he picks up one of Boo's many balls off the deck tossing it into the yard after Boo finishes doing his business and the second Boo sees it fly he makes a run for it. He picks it up off the grass bringing it back to Sam for another throw, this time catching it in midair. They go back and forth for a couple minutes until Sam spots Andy watching them from the doorway, "you ready to go?" he asks.

"Yea no rush though. You two look like your having fun." she says walking out onto the deck.

Sam smiles at her as she comes to stand next to him, "thanks." he says softly before giving her a quick peck on the cheek. He then turns throwing the ball out into the yard again for Boo, who this time just barely reaches it before it touches the ground. After a couple more throws and another stomach growl from Andy, Sam puts the ball up deciding that it's time for them to go eat. When they head back inside Sam heads for the kitchen to fill up Boo's bowls so that he too can eat while they're out.

Xxx

Sam pulls up next to one of their favourite little diners. After parking the truck off Sam gets out, walking around to help Andy down. He wraps an arm around her waist pulling her in close loving the way she feels tucked in next to him; he presses a kiss to her temple as they head for the door.

"What do you feel like having?" Sam asks as they sit down to look at the menu.

"I don't know. There's so much to choose from." Andy says skimming over the options.

Sam smirks at the way her eyes light up looking over the menu. He wonders if she'll simply stick to her normal chicken burger and fries or if she will for once pick something else. Sam continues to look over the menu himself when their waitress comes over, "Hi there my name is Julie. Are you two ready to order or do you need a few more minutes before you decide?" she asks.

Sam looks over at Andy, "I'm ready. Do you know what you want?" he asks.

Andy nods turning to the waitress so she can order, "Hi I'd like a chicken burger and fries please, but can I get no tomato on the burger and some gravy for the fries?"

"Sure thing, and what would you like to drink?" Julie asks.

"Oh a sprite please." Andy says as Julie then turns the Sam asking for his order.

"I'll take a club sandwich with fries and a Dr. Pepper please." Sam says before adding, "can I also get an order of honey garlic chicken bites."

"Sure thing, I'll go grab your drinks while you wait for your food." Julie says as she leaves to go place their orders.

"Thank you." Sam and Andy say together.

After Julie brings them their drinks Sam reaches across the table covering Andy's hands with his own, "I'm ready glad we're doing this again." Sam says rubbing his thumbs along the side of her hands.

"Me too Sam, and this time we're going to do things right. No more running away, we have to talk about things if we really want this to work." Andy states knowing that talking isn't Sam's thing, "and right now what we are going to talk about is how to tell everyone our news."

Sam nods, "you're right and I promise you that I will work on how I communicate, because I swear I want this...I'm all in McNally." They both lean forward allowing their lips to meet in a brief sweet kiss. "Well I sent Oliver a message before we left asking him if he could get everyone to the penny around 7 after shift ends. Now we just need to figure out what exactly to say, I for one think we should just spit it out and tell them everything."

"Seriously Sam. This is a big deal...well more like three all at once, I mean how often do we find out we're having a son as well as decide to get back together and move in together." Andy says quickly starting to panic.

Just as Sam is about to say something Julie comes over placing their food down on the table in front of them, "everything okay here." she asks and when the both answer yes she nods heading off to check on her other customers.

"You're right. This is a big deal and I think I have the perfect idea of how to tell all of our friends our news." Sam says as everything slowly clicks into place. When Andy asks him about his idea he tells her that it's a surprise and she'll just have to trust him.

"I do trust you." Andy tells him before grabbing a fry off her plate to dip in her gravy.

"Good McNally. Then all you need to know is that I have your back and everything's going to be fine." Sam says taking a bite of his sandwich.

Andy smiles while continuing to eat her burger and fries. Even though she's nervous about Sam telling everyone their news tonight deep down she knows that it will be great. Plus in the back of her mind she can't help but wonder if this just might be the first step towards a more open and communicative Sam Swarek. As Andy finishes up her phone starts ringing.

(**Bold for Andy**, _Italics for Traci_)

**Hey Trace, what's up?**

_So Andy what did the doctor say? Were you able to find out what your having? What are you up to tonight? I thought maybe we could get together once I'm done here._

**First off yes the baby decided to cooperate today, so we were able to find out what we're having and before you even ask I'm not telling you...**

_What? Why not I'm your best friend?_

**Well if you would let me finish I'd tell you that Sam and I are going to meet everyone down at the penny to share our news, but please keep that to yourself as I want it to be a surprise.**

_Sure thing Andy. God I still can't believe that your pregnant and more importantly pregnant with Swarek's kid._

Sam notices Andy starting to blush and can't help but wonder what they could be talking about.

**If your still in shock about that just wait till later at the penny, but Trace I really should be going since I'm out for dinner with Sam right now. I will see you in a bit.**

_Oh yea. Sure thing Andy, I'll see you both soon._

After hanging up Traci can't help replaying the conversation she just had with Andy in her head. When she gets to the last thing Andy said a smile starts to make its way across her face, because this time she picks up on unsaid fact that tonight's news isn't only about the baby.

"You okay there Nash?" Oliver asks poking his head in the D's office.

Traci comes back to reality at the sound of someone saying her name. She looks towards the doorway spotting Oliver in the opening, "what's up Oliver?"

"Oh nothing much just going around asking everyone to meet up at the penny tonight after shift. Sammy and McNally have some news they want to share." Oliver says excitedly.

"I actually just got off the phone with Andy a few seconds ago. She told me about the penny, but refused to tell me anything else just said I would have to wait like everyone else. I can't believe that those two are going to be parents; let alone parents to the same child." Traci says smiling.

Oliver can't help but laugh, "I know what you mean, but at the same time they are good together you have to admit that. I should probably get going shifts almost over and I still have a few more people to get a hold of, but I'll see you later at the penny." he says before walking off.

Across town Sam and Andy finish up at the diner. After Sam pays the check the head back out to his truck. "You ready for this?" Sam asks gets in and starts the truck.

"I'm nervous, but with you there next to me I know I can do anything." Andy says turning a light shade of red.

Sam reaches over putting a hand on her knee to give it a light squeeze, "I've got your back McNally...always." he tells her while flashing his dimples.

Andy smiles at Sam happy to have him in her corner again as they pull away and head to the penny.

	9. Chapter 9

**Once again sorry for the delay I've been struggling with a slight case of writer's block lately. I have a couple chapters ahead already started so I hopefully won't be as long between updates. Anyways I hope you all enjoy this newest chapter.**

Chapter 9

When Sam pulls into the parking lot at the Penny, he turns to Andy, "ready?" he asks.

She nods while softly saying, "about as ready as I'll ever be."

Sam pulls into the first empty spot he finds and gets out walking around to the passenger side in order to help Andy down, but when he opens the door he can tell she isn't ready to get out quite yet, so he simply stands in the doorway taking her hand in his. He brings her hand close pressing a soft kiss to it while making circles along her arm. Sam whispers sweet words to her as he gives her hand a light squeeze.

Andy sits in the truck trying to calm her nerves while Sam continues trying to reassure her that everything is okay and will be fine. Andy looks over at him whispering, "thanks," as she turns to jump down out of the truck.

"Anything for you." Sam says wrapping his arm around her waist as they head for entrance.

Andy takes a deep breath as they reach the entrance thinking to herself, 'it's now or never.' As soon as they walk inside everyone starts cheering, "finally they arrive!" Oliver shouts as he walks over to them.

"Sorry for the wait Olly." Andy says pulling him into a hug.

Once Andy let's him go in order to hug Tracy who came up to join them Sam pulls Oliver off to the side in order to check on a few of his secret details. They move a couple steps away in order to prevent being overheard, "hey brother did Sarah get here yet? I don't want to start without her especially since this is the first time her and McNally will be meeting each other; plus Sarah doesn't even know about the baby yet I just told her that I wanted her to meet someone every important to me." Sam says looking around.

"Yep she got here about 15 minutes before you two walked in. I set her and Mike up at a table off to the far end of the bar in order to keep her and McNally separated until your ready." Oliver says patting Sam on the shoulder.

"Thanks man. I really appreciate all of this." Sam says as they head back to Andy.

"What are friends for, but I should get back to my table before Frank drinks my beer." Oliver says before making his way back the way he came.

"What were you and Oliver talking about?" Andy asks when Sam reaches her side.

"Not to much was just asking how everything went today at the station." Sam says pulling Andy into a hug before continuing, "also I asked him if my extra guests arrived yet."

"Extra guests? Who else did you invite?" Andy asks curiously.

Sam can't help his smile as Andy continues to ask questions trying to figure out who else he could have invited. He decides to put her out of her misery by saying, "how about I take you over and introduce you."

"Okay. I'd really like that." Andy says reaching down to lace her fingers with his.

Sam leads Andy across the bar towards Sarah's table where her and her husband are seated talking amongst themselves. As they approach the table Andy looks up at Sam slightly confused as she has never met either of the people at the table, although the woman looks a little familiar.

Sarah looks up from her conversation as she notices people approaching their table out of the corner of her eye. She looks up to find Sam walking towards her table with a young woman next to him whom she doesn't recognize although that isn't surprising as Sam tends to keep to himself especially when it comes to any type of relationship. "Hello." Sarah says holding out her hand as they approach.

"Hello." Andy replies taking the outstretched hand.

Sam looks at the two most important women in his life looking each other up and down as they try to figure out who the other one is. He decides to put them out of their misery, "Andy I would like you to meet my sister Sarah. Sarah this is Andy McNally my girlfriend and as you are soon to learn the mother of my unborn child." Sam says with a dimpled smile as he wraps his arm around Andy's waist and resting his hand on her small baby bump.

"Your Andy...your the woman my brother couldn't stop talking about for the last few months." Sarah says looking at Andy with a smile before quickly swinging her head in Sam's direction when the rest of his speech sinks in, "girlfriend? So you two worked everything out and did I hear you correctly...unborn child? Sammy your going to be a father!" Sarah says excitedly before getting up to pull Sam into a hug.

"Yes Sarah, you heard correctly Andy and I are expecting a baby, it turns out that while Andy was undercover she discovered that she was pregnant with this little one." Sam says rubbing Andy's stomach.

"Wow my little brother is going to be a father...my mind is literally spinning." Sarah says looking a the couple in front of her. When she hears a throat clear she remembers Mike sitting at the table, "Andy I would like you to meet my husband Mike." Sarah says moving back to stand next to him.

"Pleasure to meet you Mike." Andy says shaking his hand.

"Same to you Andy, and congrats to you both on your news." Mike says turning to shake Sam's hand.

"I'll be right back I have something I need to share with everyone." Sam says turning to look Andy in the eyes.

"Don't you mean **we** have something to share?" Andy asks with a smirk.

"Yes its our news, but Andy I want to show you that I'm willing to open up and share." Sam says on a whisper as he pulls her into a hug. He pulls back to place a chaste kiss to her lips before slowly backing away towards the stage back at the other end of the bar.

"Andy, please sit down and join us. We would love to get to know you a little better." Sarah says motioning to one of the two empty chairs.

"Umm...okay thanks." Andy says taking a seat across the table from them. "Also it's really nice to finally meet you even though I'm sure you hate me for leaving your brother like I did...trust me if I could go back and change my decision I would in a heartbeat."

"Thank you for saying that, but I don't hate you. I did at first when Sam told me how you left after he made his speech to get you back, but then he explained that he did it to himself when he acted like an idiot and left you standing alone in a parking lot after he broke up with you." Sarah says looking over at Andy.

"Jerry had just died and he was grieving, which meant Sam closed himself off from everyone and that unfortunately included me. I tried to get him to talk but that of course pushed him further away since Sam only talks when he wants to and not a minute before." Andy says placing her hands on her stomach just as the speakers came to life. They all look towards the stage to see Sam standing there with a microphone in his hand.

"First off I know you're probably all shocked to see me of all people up here talking, but I promised someone very important to me that I would work on being more open to talking and communicating instead of running all the time." Sam says looking straight at Andy who couldn't help the tears beginning to pool in her eyes.

"Andy wanted us both to stand up here and share our news with you some of our closest friends and family, but I insisted that I be the one to speak wanting to show her how serious I was about making these changes. How about we start off with want you all are probably dying to know..." Sam starts before being interrupted by cheers.

"About time!" everyone shouts.

"Thanks." Sam says with a smirk. "So now if you would let me continue I would be happy to tell you all that in about 3 months time Andy and I will be the proud parents of a little boy whom we intend to name Jeremy in memory of one of my best friend's and brother Detective Jerry Barber god rest his soul." Sam says finishing off quietly while people shout out their congratulations.

"Thank you we appreciate your congratulations and we love you all very much." Sam says before moving on to the rest of his announcement, "I also want to share some more great news with you all, after the doctors appointment this morning Andy and I went back to my place to talk about everything and our plans for the future with our little rookie." Sam says finishing off with a smirk at his and Andy's nickname for the baby.

"And?" Oliver and Traci shout out.

"Andy and I have spent the last two weeks together trying to figure out where this is going...where we want this to go, and we have decided to not only give our relationship another shot but to move in together. I realize we might seem crazy to some of you, but I've known since the day Andy left for her undercover job that I would give and do anything to get her back and now that she is I'm not letting her get away this time. Now let's get back to the party, because I think that's enough heart to heart for one day." Sam says looking over to find Sarah holding Andy in a hug while the bar roars with cheers.

Andy couldn't believe how open and honest Sam was about everything especially with so many people around. From the moment Sam stepped up onto the stage and started opening up to everyone in the room regarding them she was in tears although she tried to hold them inside they just kept falling. When Sam announced that they were having a son and naming him Jeremy in memory of Jerry she even attempt at containing the tears any longer, she felt a hand on her shoulder turning to find Sarah sitting next to her. "Thank you." she whispered not wanting to ruin Sam's speech.

Sarah nodded her head in response before pulling Andy into a side hug and allowing her to rest her head on her shoulder. Sarah runs her hand along Andy's head trying to soothe her as Sam continues his speech regarding his unborn son and Andy; she can tell how much the two care for each other and she couldn't be happier for her little brother as he deserves some happiness in his life. She looks over at her husband mouthing 'I love you' with a smile plastered across her face.

Sam makes his way back across the bar to where Andy is seated with Sarah and Mike. He says his 'thank you's' to everyone in passing solely focused on getting back to his family in order to check on Andy to make sure she's okay. When Sam approaches Andy and Sarah he crouches down, so that he can look Andy in the eyes, "I'm sorry I made you cry McNally. I never wanted that to happen as I hate to see you cry." Sam says softly not wanting everyone to hear.

Andy wipes at the stray tears running down her cheeks, "they're happy tears Sam. I'm just shocked at how open and honest you were up there in front of everyone. I know we talked about no more running and having to be more open and willing to talk about things, I just never expected you to do and say all that up there."

"I wanted to show you how serious I was about all of this...us, my love for you and Jeremy is what helped and allowed me to be so open and honest up on that stage but the whole time I imagined that I was right here in front of you holding your hands." Sam says leaning up pressing his lips to hers in a soft kiss.

Andy wraps her arms around Sam's neck as she kisses him back while holding on tight. When they break apart a few minutes later Andy whispers, "I love you Sam. Always have and always will."

"I love you too McNally, now let's go mingle with the guests." Sam says slowly standing.

"Sam, Mike and I are so happy for you, but we should get back to the hotel as the kids are their with Izzy Shaw." Sarah says pulling Sam into a hug. When they break apart she turns to Andy, "it was really great meeting you Andy and congrats on the baby, hopefully we will be able to see each other again before we head back to St. Catherine's." Sarah says hugging her.

"How long are you guys down for, because Andy and I have this weekend off. If you guys are still down I would love it if we could all get together especially since I haven't seen the little rug rats in about a month or two." Sam says with a smirk.

Sarah looks over at her husband who nods, "I think we can stay a couple more nights, since Saturday is only what...two days away and the kids have been dying to see you again. Plus I'm sure they would love to meet you Andy they always ask Sammy why he never brings any girls with him when he visits." Sarah says on a laugh.

"I would love to meet them." Andy says wrapping an arm around Sam's waist.

"Perfect. How about we meet at the park that's not to far from my place they seemed to love it their last visit. We could have a picnic on Saturday." Sam says.

"Sure that sounds great. Let's say for around noon then." Sarah says taking Mike's hand as they head off to say their goodbyes.

Sam and Andy decide to make the rounds so that they can head out soon. They barely make it a few steps before they are surrounded by the rookies of 15 division. Traci instantly pulls Andy into a hug, "So a little boy Andy, that is amazing news and I'm sure Jerry would love to know that you both choose to name your little one in memory of him." Traci whispers as a stray tear escapes down her cheek.

"Oh Trace, please don't cry I just thought it fitting with him being one of Sam's best friends, plus he helped Sam and I get together the first time around." Andy says softly while holding her best friend tight.

"Congrats detective." Chris says sticking his hand out.

"Thanks Diaz." Sam replies giving Chris' hand a quick shake.

Dov and Chloe give their congratulations to the couple shaking Sam's hand and hugging Andy once her and Traci pull apart. Traci turns to Sam saying, "congrats on your little rookie Jeremy, there partner. I know that Jerry would be very proud of you two."

"Thanks Nash, that means a lot." Sam says surprising everyone when he pull Traci into a hug.

"Congrats on finding out it's a boy Andy, I'm sure you were excited to get it confirmed." Nick says walking up to the group.

"Thanks Nick." Andy says giving Nick a quick hug.

"Yes thanks Collins, we are very excited and thank you for keeping them both safe while you were all undercover." Sam says wanting to clear the air for everyone's sake.

"Just doing my job sir." Nick replies shaking Sam's hand.

"So brother any ideas on a middle name for the little guy?" Oliver asks making his way over.

Sam looks to Andy as they haven't talked middle names yet. "Actually I'm leaning toward naming him Jeremy Thomas Swarek, but we haven't talked that far yet." Andy says smiling when she notices Sam's shocked expression at the use of his last name, "but we have decided something else." Andy looks around at the group and then at Sam deciding now is as good a time as any. Andy looks back at Oliver before she continues, "Sam and I have decided that we would like you and Traci to be the baby's guardians if anything happens to the two of us."

Oliver looks from the couple to Traci finding her as shocked as he is. He couldn't believe they wanted him to be one of their son's guardians in the chance that something happened to them god forbid. "I would be honoured." Oliver says pulling them both into a hug. Traci quickly joins stating, "same here you guys. I would love nothing more."

They decide to take this to the tables so that everyone can sit down. Oliver, Traci, as well as Frank and Noelle share baby stories with the parents to be in order to help get them prepared. They continue for a little while just enjoying the conversations and company until Andy starts to get tired. Sam and Andy thank everyone for coming out to share in their news and say their goodbyes as they head back out to Sam's truck. "Do you want me to drop you off at your place or would you like to come back to mine?" Sam asks as he starts the truck.

Andy takes a minute to think about before answering with, "can we stop at mine so that I can grab a change of clothes for work tomorrow. I mean we might as well see if we can handle sharing a room before we make it permanent." Andy says fighting her smirk.

"Sounds like a plan. Oh and how about after work tomorrow we go see your father to tell him all of our news." Sam says pulling out onto the road.

"Umm...okay but you might want to bring your vest for protection." Andy says softly knowing her father won't be impressed that she gave Sam another chance or about them moving in together.

Chapter 10

The next morning Andy wakes up in a nice warm bed with arms that aren't her own wrapped around her waist. She can't help her smile as she cracks an eye and sees Sam's fingers laced together on top of her baby bump; she tries to stay as still as possible in an attempt not to wake him, but unfortunately the baby starts kicking her bladder meaning its time to get up and out of bed quickly heading for the bathroom.

Sam wakes up as soon as he feel Andy pull away from his arms and get out of bed. He lifts his head up off his pillow looking around the room in an attempt to see where she went. He eventually hears her voice coming from the attached bathroom, so he gets up pulling on a shirt before making his way to the bathroom to check on her. "McNally, are you alright in there?" Sam asks as he knocks on the door.

"Be right out." Andy calls out as she finishes up and washes her hands. She opens the door coming face to face with a nervous looking Sam. "I'm fine Sam. Your son decided that he wanted to kick at my bladder this morning, so it was either jump out of bed or make your bed a puddle." Andy says turning a light shade of red.

Sam tries but can't help his smirk, "Sorry to hear that McNally." he says before crouching down in front of her so that he's eye level with her stomach as he softly says, "no more kicking mommy's bladder little man." He looks up when he hears Andy let out a little laugh, he smiles as he stands up again pressing his lips to hers, "good morning." he whispers against her lips.

"Morning." she says on a breathy sigh when they break apart.

"Do you feel like having breakfast or do you want to spend some more time snuggling in bed, because I'm up for either." Sam says keeping her close. At the mention of breakfast Andy's stomach begins to growl, "breakfast it is." Sam says with a smirk across his face.

"Mhm...breakfast that sounds really good. What do you have in this joint?" Andy asks walking towards the bedroom door.

Andy reaches the kitchen with Sam just a few steps behind, she starts to look around until Sam asks her to sit down while he makes them something to eat. Sam pulls out a carton of eggs as well as some bacon setting them on the counter while he grabs a couple of frying pans. "How do you want you eggs McNally?" Sam asks putting the frying pans on the stove and turning the burners on.

"Can I get two eggs scrambled with some bacon as well as some toast if your making any?" Andy asks with a smile.

"Sure thing and how about some orange juice to go with it, since I know its your favourite." Sam says prepping the pans and food.

"Sounds perfect." Andy says with a smile.

Sam passes Andy two glasses as well as some utensils asking her to set the table while he finishes up with the food. Once the foods ready he dishes everything out onto two plates and sets one down in front of Andy while he sets the other down on the table in the spot next to her. He quickly grabs a pair of glasses for the juice before coming to sit down and eat.

"I really need to keep you around with these cooking skills." Andy says taking a couple bites.

"I'm going to take that as a compliment." Sam says smiling, "and you don't have to worry about keeping me because there's no where else I'd rather be."

"So what are your thoughts regarding the whole moving in together idea. I mean I know we discussed finding a new place and I said we should go with the four bedrooms idea that way we have plenty of room for guests, but where exactly are we thinking of looking?" Andy asks as she picks up her glass.

Sam's silent for a few minutes wanting to get his thoughts all in order before he starts. He's been thinking about them getting back together since before Andy even left and then when she told him about the baby being his he knew he wanted them all together under one roof. Sam takes a breath before he begins, "I was think we'd look for something close to the station, in a good neighbourhood since we have our little rookie on the way. Or we could look at places a little further from work that are closer to your dad's place since I know you two are close."

Andy nods as Sam voices his thoughts, she happy to see how much thought he's put into this especially when he brings up the idea of looking at places near her dad. "I agree on the good neighbourhood that is a definite must, but I was thinking maybe we could talk with Traci see if their are any places up for sale out near her and Leo in the beaches."

"Okay we can do that. Plus if we move out that way we'd be close to Oliver and the girls when he has them, which means easy access to a babysitter." Sam says with a smirk.

"He's not even born yet and your already thinking about leaving him with a babysitter." Andy says on a laugh.

Sam laughs when he realizes what he said. "Well we have to have date night at some point," he says continuing to laugh a little while Andy gives her head a slight shake.

They continue to talk about the move as they finish up with breakfast. By the time they are both finished eating they have agreed that it would be best if Andy put her condo up sale that way they both don't have to pay individual living expanses for the next month if they can avoid it. After cleaning up their dishes they head back to the bedroom to get ready for work.

Sam pulls into the stations parking lot finding a spot almost immediately. Sam get outs meeting Andy at the front of the truck taking her hand in his as they make their way to the door. They make their way through the station and Sam drops Andy off at the women's locker room door telling her that he would meet her in parade.

Andy walks inside the women's locker room heading straight to the washroom portion of the room before making her way over to her personal locker to change. "So how was your night after you left the penny?" Traci asks coming up behind Andy and surprising her.

"Geez Trace, scare the pregnant lady why don't you." Andy says letting out a surprised yelp.

Traci turns Andy around while resting her hands on her best friend's shoulder, "sorry I didn't mean to sneak up on you. I thought you heard me call your name when I came in."

Andy takes a couple deep breaths trying to calm herself down before responding, "that okay...I guess my head was somewhere else, so what were you saying?"

"I asked how your night was after you and Sam left the penny." Traci says leading Andy to the locker room door, so that they don't miss parade.

"Oh it was good. I actually spent the night at Sam's, since we thought it best to be sure we could handle sharing a room before we made it a permanent situation." Andy says with a smile at the memory of waking up in Sam's arms.

"And how was that? I mean we both know that you two have no problems when it comes to sharing a bed." Traci whispers as they enter the parade room.

The girls walk into parade not even noticing Sam standing in the back corner of the room at first, but then Andy turns her head and as soon as she spots him her face turns red. Sam knows she's embarrassed and that its most likely because of the smirk he's wearing across his face, but he can't help that he overheard Nash's comment about him and McNally having no problems sharing a bed. As Andy comes to stand next to Sam with Traci on her other side he leans in whispering, "you didn't answer Nash's question McNally. How was it sharing a bed with me again?"

Andy shivers as Sam leans in close and whispers next to her ear. She takes a few breaths trying to get herself under control before whispering her response, "it was fun Sam," before he could comment she continued, "it felt amazing to wake up in your arms again." she finished saying just as Frank made his way up to the podium.

"Good morning coppers. I hope everyone is feeling alright after our evening out celebrating the news of two of our own...once again congratulations to Detective Swarek and Officer McNally regarding the news of your son as well as all of your future plans." Frank just manages to get out before the rest of the room erupts in cheers. A couple seconds later Frank holds up his hands saying, "now let's get down to business serving and protecting our streets...assignments are up on the board."

After they are dismissed Andy heads to the front desk to begin her first of many desk shifts before the baby comes. She barely gets a chance to sit down before someone pulls out the chair next to hers. Andy glances over surprised to find Sam sitting next to her since he always hated desk duty when he was still in uniform plus he's a detective now, which means he has more important things to do then answer the phones and help people who come into the station. "What are you doing out here? Don't you have a case to work on?" Andy asks.

"I wanted make sure you were still up for visiting your dad after shift and to remind you to check with him to make sure he doesn't already have plans," Sam tells her as the phone starts to ring.

Andy holds up a finger as she answers the call, "15 division Officer McNally speaking." Andy listens to the person on the other end of the line for a minute or two before stating, "you'll have to come down to the station in person with the money and proof of ownership and then I can have your vehicle released to you." She listens a little more before responding with, "yes anytime before 6pm...alright you too sir." Andy says just before hanging up.

She turns back to Sam, "yes I'd still like to visit and tell my dad everything tonight after shift if you're up for it Sam."

"Of course, it's probably best if he hears it from us soon before he hears it from someone else." Sam says softly not wanting everyone to know their personal business.

Andy gives a nod, "okay I'll give him a call on my break, but you should probably get back to work. I mean crime doesn't rest just because I'm pregnant." Andy says to him on a laugh.

Sam smirks at her comment, "alright but I'll swing by later with some lunch." he says giving her hand a squeeze as he walks back to the door waiting for her to buzz him through.

The morning seems to fly by because the next thing she knows is her stomach is growling just Sam is walking through the door carrying sandwiches. "Turkey breast and ham your favourite or at least it was the last time we were together," Sam says setting the sandwich down in front of her as he takes a seat.

"It still is and thank you for this," she says taking a bite.

"No problem McNally, everyone needs to eat every once in a while. So did you manage to get a hold of your dad? Are we one for after shift?" Sam asks with a nervous hitch in his voice knowing that Tommy won't be happy to see him after everything that happen before Andy left.

"I was just about to call him now that the lobby has emptied out. Plus with you here you can help anyone who comes in while I'm on the phone." Andy says pulling out her cell out of her pocket and hitting the speed dial for her father. After a few rings Tommy picks up, "hello?"

"Hi dad." Andy says trying to figure out where to start.

"How's it going kiddo? Shouldn't you be a work and not on the phone with me."

"I am at work, but I'm on my lunch and wanted to see if you were free to get together after my shift since I wanted to talk to you about somethings." Andy tells him while trying to keeps her voice as calm as possible.

"Umm...ya I don't see a problem with that. We can grab dinner if you'd like just the two of us like old times; I'd love to catch up since you've been gone for quite a while."

"Actually dad I was hoping the three of us could talk..."

"Three of us? And who might this third person be? Please tell me you are not back with Swarek, he already broke your heart once kiddo."

"I know dad, but please just listen for a second." When Tommy makes no attempt to stop her she continues, "dad...Sam and I both made mistakes the last time around we ran when things got tough instead of talking things out." Andy looked up meeting Sam's eyes when she said the next part, "everyday we spent apart hurt and even when I was undercover I couldn't keep him from my thoughts. Dad I don't want to waste anymore time and I don't want to be sad anymore." Andy says finishing off in an almost whisper.

Tommy just listens on the other side hearing the truth in her words. "Okay kiddo. I still don't like it but I understand where you're coming from. Tell Swarek that your both invited over for dinner, I'll order a pizza and we can all sit down and talk." Tommy says.

"Thank you. We will be over after shift, so around 5:30 or so." Andy says before hanging up.

When Andy finishes her conversation with Tommy and sets up phone down Sam reaches over for her hands taking them in his, "I don't want to be sad anymore either McNally."

Andy smiles up at Sam with tears in her eyes, "good because tonight after shift were having dinner with my dad and he's most liking going to interrogate you to make sure that you're in this for the long haul."

"I can't wait, because I want your father to hear my voice and see my face when I tell him how stupid I was to leave you in that parking lot, because you Andy McNally were and are still the best thing that ever happened to me." Sam says softly leaning in to press a kiss to her cheek.

They quickly finish up with their lunch when they see the time. After about another 10 minutes both their sandwiches are gone and Andy is sending Sam back to his desk to continue with his cases before Frank or Traci comes in search of him. Andy buzzes Sam through the doors and then turns her chair back so that she's facing the lobby in order to see people as soon as they walk inside.

Chapter 11

The minute shift ends Andy is up on her feet heading for the women's locker room to change, so that her and Sam can head out to her fathers. After getting changed she takes a seat on one of the benches in the locker room just wanting to catch her breath and calm her nerves as tonight she break the news of her pregnancy to her father as well as explains her choices regarding Sam and their future together. Andy is brought out of her internal thoughts when Traci calls out to her, "Andy...Andy you okay?" she says coming to sit down next to her.

Andy gives her head a little shake turning to meet Traci's worried eyes, "hey there Trace."

"Hey. Is everything okay with you...with the baby?" Traci asks softly not wanting anyone to overhear in case this is all about something personal.

"Oh ya, we're both fine." Andy says laying a hand on her swollen stomach.

"I'm glad. So then is this about you and Sam? Did you two have a fight already?" Traci asks nervous about the possible answer.

"No everything is good between us; its just that were going to dinner at my dad's and I'm a little nervous about how he's going to react to all of this. I mean I told him about Sam and I getting back together, but now he's about to find out about the baby as well as us moving in together. I'm just worried all of this at once might throw him off the wagon which would kill me Trace." Andy says starting to cry.

"Oh sweetie, please don't cry. Your dad is strong and he knows that he almost lost you the last time when he was drinking. Plus he has at least one more reason to stay sober." Traci whispers placing her hand on top of the one Andy already has settled on her stomach, "he has his grandson to be strong for Andy."

Sam starts to get nervous about Andy, shift ended almost 20 minutes ago and still no sign of her. After another 5 minutes pass with no sign of her Sam decides to go check on her just to make sure that everything's okay. When he reaches the women's locker room door he gives a soft knock, "McNally is everything okay in there?" Just as he's about to open the door it opens from the inside. He comes face to face with Traci who quietly says, "coast is clear...go talk to her, she needs you."

Sam quickly slips past nervous about Andy and what has her scared. Sam takes a few steps scanning the room and spotting her on the bench near her locker. He sits down next to her trying to get her to talk to him, but she stays silent. "McNally, please talk to me." Sam says reaching under her chin in order to turn her head to face him. "What's going on McNally? If it's about talking to your dad tonight we can wait...I don't want to pressure you into doing something that your not ready for."

"It's not that." she whispers, "I'm just scared that all of this will throw my dad over the edge and back into drinking. Sam I can't have that and we definitely can't be around that or have our son around someone..."

"Andy, you can't think like that. We haven't even seen or told your father anything about Jeremy, so we can't assume how he will react until we do." Sam says resting her head against his shoulder while rubbing her back, "We will explain everything and then see how he reacts before we make any assumptions."

"Okay." Andy says wiping her tear streaked cheeks.

Sam smiles over at her before briefly pressing his lips to hers in a kiss. "Come on McNally, its time I prove myself to your dad." Sam says wrapping an arm around her as they stand.

Xxx

They drive over to Tommy McNally's house in silence. Andy stares out the passenger side window trying to think positively while attempting to stay calm. Sam reaches over the console taking Andy's hand in his, giving it a light squeeze before turning and lacing their fingers. When they pull up in front of Tommy's house Andy can't help her involuntary squeeze, "sorry." she mutters loosening her grip.

"No worries McNally, I'm still in one piece." he says showing her a smile.

She returns his smile slowly beginning to feel more confident. They open their door at the same time both hoping out and meeting at the back of the truck. Andy reaches for Sam's hand as they make their way towards the front door, she barely finishes knocking before her father opens the door. Tommy takes in the couple standing on his front step hand in hand; he never thought he'd see them together again let alone standing in front of his door after his daughter came to him in tears six months prior.

"Please come inside." he says stepping out of the way so that they could pass.

"Thanks dad." Andy says letting go of Sam's hand in order to give her father a hug.

"Hey kiddo." he responds while keeping an eye on Sam a few steps away.

When him and Andy pull apart he turns to Sam sticking out his hand, "Swarek."

Sam takes Tommy's outstretched saying, "sir," while also hoping that this is the first step of many in the right direction for him and Tommy McNally. When they let go of each other Sam wraps his arm around Andy once again as Tommy leads them into the living room.

"Are you two hungry, because if you are I can order the pizza now rather then later." Tommy says looking from one to the other.

"That would be great dad." Andy says as her stomach lets out a soft growl.

Sam tries to hold back his smirk at the sound of Andy's stomach growling especially when it catches Tommy's ear, "geez kiddo did you not eat today?" he asks.

"Just been a long day is all." she says softly while trying to avoid his eyes.

When Tommy excuses himself to make the call Sam checks to make sure that they are truly alone before speaking up, "how do you want to do this McNally, because I'm thinking it would probably be best to get everything out in the open sooner rather then later."

Andy takes a couple of deep breaths before responding, "your probably right but I'm still scared...I mean what if he reacts badly."

"We won't know until we talk to him McNally." Sam says pulling her in close.

"Talk to me about what?" Tommy asks walking back into the living room. The cop in him can't help itself when it comes to secrets especially secrets about his little girl. He sits back down in his chair across from them, "we have about a half hour until the pizza's here, so I'll ask again...talk to me about what?"

Andy takes a deep breath trying to get her thoughts together while trying to stay calm at the same time. Sam reaches over taking Andy's hand in his in an attempt to show his support; he debates on telling Tommy everything himself, but deep down he knows that this time it has to be Andy.

"Umm...okay here goes. We wanted to speak to you about some things regarding the news I told you earlier over the phone." Andy says giving Sam's hand a squeeze needing to feel him close to her.

Tommy looks at them closely trying to no avail to figure out what exactly is going on between the two people sitting in front of him. He's aware of them getting back together or at least trying to make things work this time Andy told him that much earlier but what else could there be to say. Tommy is brought back to the present when Andy starts to speak again after several seconds.

"Dad I'm going to tell you something but I need you to promise me that you'll left me finish before you start talking okay." Andy tells him. At her father's nod she continues softly, "dad Sam and I aren't just back together...there's more to it then just that." she takes a few gulps of air just wanting to spit everything out. "Dad I'm pregnant." Andy says barely above a whisper.

"Sorry kiddo but could you repeat that my ears aren't as good as they used to be." Tommy says leaning in closer.

Andy glances at Sam who gives her an encouraging smile, which she returns feeling a little braver knowing that Sam has her back though all of this. She looks her father right in the eyes as repeats herself, "Dad I'm pregnant and before you ask Sam's the father," Andy holds up her hand when her father tries to say something, "but that's not all...we're also moving in together."

Tommy just looks from one to the other unable to speak, he's speechless...his little girl is pregnant and not only that but pregnant with Sam Swarek's child. After a couple minutes of silence Tommy finally speaks up, "I'm going to be a grandfather?" he asks.

"Yes dad you are." Andy says getting up to give her dad a hug.

They break apart at the sound of the doorbell. "Let me get it." Sam says wanting to give them a few minutes alone. Andy looks over her shoulder to mouth, 'thank you,' Sam nods his head and smiles before turning to head towards the front door. Andy moves back to sit on the couch wanting to allow her father some time to come to grips with everything, but before any time passes he begins to talk again. "So when exactly did you find out about the baby?" Tommy asks wondering how long its been a secret.

Andy looks down at the hands for a moment before answering as she doesn't want to hurt him, "umm well I kind of found out while I was still undercover. Not long after I left for the job I started feeling sick and Nick got worried that something might be seriously wrong so he took me to the hospital in order to get looked at, which was when I found out that I was about 6 weeks pregnant."

"So you decided to what just stay undercover even though you were pregnant...what were you thinking something could of happened to you...to both of you." Tommy says gesturing at her.

"I know and it wasn't my decision exactly. I told Blackstone that I was pregnant, but he just kept saying that we were almost through and to just hold on and keep my head down." Andy says feeling stupid now for not demanding she be sent home.

Tommy nods, "okay and so what is this about moving in together. Are you crazy Andy, you two just got back together and now you want to move in together. I mean don't you think that you should wait a little while in order to make sure that everything works out this time around? Do you not remember coming here the night he left you in that parking lot? You were heartbroken and it killed me to see you that way Andy, and I definitely never want to see it again so I'm asking are you sure this is a smart move I mean being in a relationship itself is tough but now adding a baby will just make it tougher." Tommy says worriedly.

Sam walks back in from dropping the pizza off in the kitchen just in time to hear the question. Before Andy has a chance to respond Sam decides that it's time for him to speak up, "sir I love your daughter more than I thought was possible. I was a complete idiot to break up with her and leave her in a parking lot and unfortunately I can't go back and undo it." Sam sits back down on the couch looking from one McNally to the other before continuing, "I tend to run when things get tough and it's not because I want to it's more like I have to. I didn't have the best home life growing up and I learned at an early age that the only person you could count on was yourself, so when people start to get close I bolt...of course it doesn't help when you best friend dies but that's not the point." Sam reaches over for Andy's hand which she gives him freely. The next words out of his mouth are said while he stares into her beautiful eyes, "I never thought I could count on anyone but then you came into my life and it scared me. When Jerry died I saw how heartbroken Nash was and all I could think about was that could be me one day or hell it could be you. I couldn't handle the thoughts of losing you or leaving you heartbroken so I did what I thought was best I left before either of us could get hurt, but instead all I did was bring the hurt faster."

Andy pulls Sam into a hug keeping him close. He never told her any of that...he's said that he screwed things up and that he ran but she didn't realize everything that had been running through his head after Jerry's death. She leans back catching a glimpse of his tear filled eyes. She presses her lips to his wanting to comfort him as well as let him know that he's safe with her. "I never knew, but this isn't all on you Sam…I ran too and I tried to push you into talking when you weren't ready." she whispers.

"I didn't want you to know because I didn't want you to ever think any of it was your fault. Yes you ran but we worked to move passed that. When I ran it was also me breaking my promise about never leaving without a fight." he whispers back.

"Clean slate?" Andy asks quietly.

"Clean slate." Sam says before pulling Andy in for another quick kiss.

Tommy clears his throat wanting to make sure that they are aware of him, "well then as long as you both are sure about this I have nothing more to say on the matter and kiddo if you were worried about this news causing me to fall off the wagon don't, because I would never do anything to jeopardize my relationship with you as well as my grandchild. Now how about we eat."

"Grandson...I'm having a boy." Andy says as she gets to her feet.

"A boy. Wow Andy that is…that's great news. Any thoughts one a name yet?" Tommy asks getting up to pull Andy into a hug.

Before Andy can answer Sam speaks up, "yes we've decided to name him Jeremy Thomas Swarek."

"I wanted to name him Jeremy after Jerry since he was not just a friend but more like a brother to Sam. Then I wanted Thomas after you dad because you have done so much for me...I mean you raised me on your own and without you I wouldn't be the person I am today so this is my way of saying thank you. And of course Swarek comes from Sam, I want our son to have his fathers name and Sam agreed." Andy says smiling at two of the most important men in her life.

Tommy can't help his smile about the news. He never thought he would be a grandfather not because Andy had no luck when it came to men, but because he had alway figured he would have drank himself to death before he ever had a chance to meet any children she had. As they all head towards the kitchen Tommy takes a second to send a quick thanks to the universe for him getting his act together not just for himself but for his daughter and now also for his unborn grandson. Tommy prays that this time around things are different; he hopes that the two people standing in front of him can make things work, because that little baby needs both his parents.

**Well I hope the chapter was good enough to help make up for the long wait.**

**Please feel free to leave a review and let me know your thoughts.**

**Sorry for the wait...I don't mean to be on and off with the updates, but unfortunately life gets in the way :P**

**Also to those who feel the need to leave mean and rude comments...your more than welcome to simply stop reading rather then telling me how awful of a writer I am and how I'm ruining these characters. Yes I am aware they my characters don't match up personality wise most likely because I'm not perfect...no one is. I'm sorry that some of you don't like the way I have written Sam and Andy, but I'm not some professional writer...it's just something I like to dabble with in my spare time.**

**Anyways I just want to say thanks to everyone who has stuck around it is appreciated :)**

Chapter 12

The next morning Andy wakes up reaching for Sam only to find his spot next to her empty. She sits up looking around the room for him, but nothing...there's no sign of him. She decides to throw off the covers grabbing one of Sam's sweaters from his closet to throw on overtop of her tank top before making her way out of his bedroom. When Andy reaches the entryway to the living room she spots him sitting on the couch. "Sam." she softly calls out as she approaches. "Sam." she calls out again as she reaches the couch.

Its not until Andy puts her hand on Sam's shoulder that he seems to snap himself out of it. "Hey." he says turning to look up at her, "I hope I didn't wake you."

"No but waking up alone after going to bed with company isn't any fun." she tells him with a light smirk.

Sam pulls Andy into his lap pressing his lips to her temple in a soft sweet kiss whispering, "sorry," against her skin. Andy turns in his lap so that their face to face pressing her lips to his quickly before pulling back and saying, "so how did you sleep?"

"Good...oh and I have to say you look very good in my sweater." Sam says leaning in to kiss Andy's neck.

Before things can go any further Boo makes his way over to the couch letting out a soft bark as he nuzzles in close. "Hey buddy, how are you this morning?" Andy says pulling away from Sam to scratch Boo behind the ears. Andy smiles at the sight of Boo's tail wagging against the floor she can't believe how quickly this little pup has wormed his way into her heart. She climbs out of Sam's lap leading Boo to the kitchen where she fills up his food and water dish before grabbing herself some cut up fruit to eat.

"I could have made you something to eat." Sam says coming in behind her.

"No fruits okay especially since we're having lunch today with Sarah and her family. I don't want to eat a big breakfast, but don't worry you will have tons to time to make me breakfast when we live together." Andy says smirking at him.

Sam can't help his smile at the mention of them living together and he realizes that he doesn't want to wait. He wants to go to sleep every night with the woman he loves laying next to him and knowing that she'll still be there the next morning. He wants to be there for her through the pregnancy he doesn't want to miss a thing. Sam glances up to find Andy watching him with a smirk and a raised eyebrow. "What's that look for?" he asks.

"Just wondering where you went is all." Andy says coming in close to wrap her arms around him.

"I was just thinking about some things..." "What kinds of things?" Andy interrupts nervously.

"I was thinking about how I want you here...with me everyday. I want to go to sleep with you laying next to me every night knowing that when I open my eyes you'll still be there in the morning." Sam says softly.

Andy smiles meekly trapping her bottom lip between her teeth. She glances up to look into Sam's eyes seeing all the love he has for her there before responding, "well we did decide that me putting my condo up for sale prior to the move would be smart, and that would mean I'd be temporarily homeless unless someone found it in their heart to take me in." Andy says pretending to be sad and hurt.

Sam gives her a dimpled smile, "I think I can arrange something I mean do have some space available here if you want, but we may need to put some of your stuff into storage for the time being so if your okay with that the space is yours."

Andy pulls Sam's face to her allowing their lips to meet in a passionate kiss. She pulls back just enough so that her next words are said on a whisper, "deal...so do we shake on it?"

"No shake we do this instead." Sam says pulling her lips back to his as he spins them so that Andy's back is pressed up against the wall. When Andy lets out a soft moan Sam makes his move deepening the kiss, slipping his tongue past her lips to explore her mouth and tangle with her own tongue in a battle for dominance. They continue this dance slowly pushing themselves closer to an edge they never thought they would get close to with each other again. Sam begins kissing his way along her neck as his hand travel down her sides settling on her waist. Andy lets out a soft gasp when Sam's hands touch her bare skin slowly travelling up her body bringing her shirts up as he goes. Andy reaches down between them to run her hands along his bare back loving the feeling of his muscles bunching beneath her touch. It seems almost unfair because just as Sam is removing her tank top and sweater Boo lets out a bark from the back door.

Sam lets out a grunt before pressing one last kiss to Andy neck before excusing himself to let Boo outside. After letting Boo outside he heads back towards the kitchen hoping to pick things back up where they left off before being interrupted; however, when he entered what he found was an empty room. "Andy. Where did you go?" Sam calls out.

"Bathroom." Andy says while trying to get her stomach heaving under control.

Sam enters to find Andy crouched in front of the toilet. He moves in close taking her hand held ponytail in one hand while rubbing circles on her back and whispering encouraging words to her telling her that everything will be fine and to just breathe. After a few minutes things seem to calm down and she takes in a few breathes before getting back up onto her feet. "Thank you." she says softly pulling Sam into a hug before moving toward the sink to splash cold water on her face as well as brush her teeth.

"I'm here for you McNally," Sam tells her which she responds to with a nod.

"I know and I appreciate that...now let's watch a movie or something before we have to get ready to meet Sarah and her family for lunch at Lola's." Andy says with a smile leading him out towards the living and more specifically the couch.

"What are you in the mood to watch? Action, adventure, mystery...not sure what all I have but feel free to pick anything you like." Sam says going to grab some drinks from the fridge. He walks back in with two glasses of orange to find Andy putting a dvd in the player, "so what did you pick?" He asks handing over one of the glasses.

"It's a surprise now sit." Andy tells him with a smirk.

Xxx

Sam and Andy make their way towards the park. They spot Sarah and her husband Mike sitting underneath a tree watching two kids running around the play structure in the middle of the park. Andy smiles watching as they approach. She can't help thinking about how one day soon this will be her and Sam watching their kids running around the park. "What's going on in that head of yours McNally?" Sam asks.

"Just thinking about how one day soon this will be our lives. Watching our son and hopefully other future children run around the park and play in the sun just enjoying life and having fun." Andy says to him with a bright smile.

"Can't wait." Sam whispers pressing his lips to her temple.

They reach Sarah and Mike barely getting a chance to exchange hellos before they hear, "Uncle Sammy!" yelled out by the two young children racing right for them. Sam crouches down to meet them and pull them in close for a hug whispering, "missed you trouble makers."

"Missed you too Uncle Sammy, who's the pretty lady?" 5 year old Valerie asks pointing towards Andy.

"Yea Uncle Sammy, who's your new friend?" 8 year old Noah asks?

Sam smiles down at his niece and nephew before turning his head to smile over at Andy, "Noah, Valerie, I'd like you both to meet Andy McNally and McNally I'd like you to meet Sarah's little trouble makers Noah and Valerie." Sam says pointing to each of them.

"Hello. It's nice to meet you both." Andy says with a wave.

"Hi...I'm 5." Valerie says shyly.

"And I'm 8." Noah says, "So how do you know my Uncle Sammy and how come we've never met you?"

"Noah, don't be rude." Sarah says cutting him off from any further questions.

"Sorry." he says meekly.

"That's okay big guy. The truth is Andy just recently came back into my life she was gone for a little while because of work...she's a police officer like me. We work together and have been friends for a couple of years now, but the truth is Andy is more then just my friend she's my girlfriend." Sam tells them wrapping an arm around Andy to bring her in close.

"No way." Noah says shocked.

"What's with the face little man?" Sam asked trying to figure out what is going through his nephew's head.

"You've never brought any girl with you when you came to visit before, so she must be special if we get to meet her." Noah says with a smile.

Sam looks over at Andy refusing to break eye contact as he says his next words, "your right Noah she is very special and I'm very happy to have her back in my life." When Sam leans in to kiss Andy while the kids let out a laugh as the shout, "EW!" Causing all of the adults to laugh especially when Andy's cheeks turn red in a light blush.

"How about we eat?" Sam suggests opening up the picnic basket in front of him pulling out sandwiches along with some juice boxes as well as bottles of water. "PB&amp;J for the munchkin." Sam says passing Valerie her sandwich.

"Strawberry jam right Uncle Sammy." Valerie asks unwrapping the sandwich.

"Of course munchkin, I know strawberry's your favourite." Sam says before passing her a juice box to go along with it bringing a bright smile to her little face. "I didn't forget about you big guy here's your ham and cheese." Sam says passing the sandwich to Noah, "and before you ask don't worry its real cheese just like you like."

"Thanks Uncle Sammy, can I have a juice box too?" he asks unwrapping his sandwich to take a bite.

"You sure can." Sam says tossing a box of apple over to him. "What about you three any requests I have a variety of options?" Sam asks.

"Please tell me you have my peanut butter and banana." Andy says grabbing one of the bottles of water.

Sam smirks at her, "of course how could I forget it's one of the only things you seem to eat lately." he says on a laugh handing the sandwich over, "I have a second one in case you get hungry later."

"Thanks for being prepared, because we both know I'll probably be hungry for it in about an hour." Andy says quickly unwrapping the sandwich and taking a bite.

"Your in love with peanut butter and banana sandwiches?" Sarah asks continuing on at Andy's nod, "I was the same way when I was pregnant with Valerie. I'm pretty sure there were a couple of days that I only ate those, and Sammy I'll take turkey and ham if you have it." Sarah says with a smile.

"I'll take anything I'm not picky you know that." Mike says taking a bottle of water.

After Sam passes out sandwiches to everyone he grabs himself one as well as pulls out a couple containers of chips and pretzels to share. Sam is just about to take a bit of his sandwich when Valerie speaks up asking, "mommy what did you mean when you said preg-a-nat with me?"

"Well baby I was taking about when you were still growing in my tummy." Sarah says lifting Valerie up to sit in her lap. Valerie turns her head to look at her mom, "does that mean Andy has a baby growing in her tummy or you do again?" Valerie asks trying to understand.

As soon as the words are out of the little 5 year old girl's mouth everyone is silent. Sarah looks up from her daughters eyes to meet Sam and Andy's in shock over the fact that her 5 year caught on to something she never expected her too. Noah looks around at everyones faces trying to figure out the silent conversation between all of the adults while also wondering if his sister is on to something with regards to the whole baby thing, "so am I going to be a big brother again or am I getting a cousin?" he asks hoping someone will answer their questions.

Sam looks over at Andy who shrugs her shoulders with indifference as she knows it's only a matter of time before the kids find out, since Sarah and Mike know and plus Andy is 5 almost 6 months along which means she's already showing and will only get bigger till the baby is born. Sam gives her a dimpled smile before turning back towards his sister and her family. He takes a couple breaths trying to get his thoughts in order before speaking up, "first off you two are too smart for your own good. I was planning to wait till later to tell you, but you my little munchkin have figured out the secret." Sam says smiling at his niece as she taps her chin with her finger thinking about what she figured out.

Noah and Valerie look at each other quickly before turning back to look at their uncle, "Andy has a baby inside her?" They both ask breaking into smiles at Sam and Andy's nod.

"Yes she does munchkin." Sam says wrapping an arm around Andy settling his hand on the side of her stomach. "You two are going to be the big cousins to a little boy named Jeremy, when he's born." Sam tells them as the move in closer.

"When will he be born?" Noah asks.

"Will he be here before Christmas?" Valerie asks bringing smiles to all of the adults faces.

"Yes Jeremy will be here before Christmas. He should be here around the middle of November, and don't you two worry you guys will be my first phone call when Jeremy decides he's ready to come out." Sam tells them bringing smiles to their faces.

After answering a few more questions Sam seems to satisfy his curious niece and nephew, because they jump up to hug him then run back to the play structure laughing as they go. Sam gives Andy and quick peck pulling back to say, "well they seemed excited."

Sarah can't help but smile at how happy Sam is with Andy, she's never seen him smile so much in all of her life and never seen his eyes shine so bright with love when looking at someone. "Of course their excited Sam, not only will there be a new baby in the family but they got to meet the woman their uncle loves." Sarah tells him.

Time seems to fly as they talk and watch Noah and Valerie in the distance over on the play structure. "This has been a fantastic day, but we should probably get going since we've been out in the sun for hours and everyone is probably getting tired." Sam says glancing over that the two little ones over at the swings before looking back at Andy.

"Noah...Valerie...time to go!" Mike yells taking a few steps in the direction of the swings wanting to make sure they hear him.

Once everyone says their goodbyes and agree to visit again soon this time with Sam and Andy going up to St. Catherine's they all head out. On the walk back to Sam's house he decides to ask one of the questions that have been on his mind this morning in the kitchen, "so I was wondering...when exactly would you like to move in McNally?"

She glances over at Sam answering with, "whenever you want, seeing as all I really need for now is my clothes and everyday things everything else we can store since we're also looking for a new place. I'd rather pack it all up and leave it packed somewhere, so that its ready to move into the new place." she tells him.

When the reach the house Sam asks her, "do you feel up to packing tonight McNally? We could stay there tonight and just spend the rest of the weekend packing."

"That sounds great Sam, because the faster everything gets packed the faster we get to live together and find our new home." Andy says pressing her lips to his.

Sold. Sam thinks to himself dropping of the picnic basket off inside before heading to the garage for boxes to use. Once he has the boxes loaded as well as his tool box just in case and then they head out to Andy's condo. While Sam drives, Andy decides to text Traci:

**Hey Trace, I was wondering if you were possibly free tonight. - Andy**

_Why what's up? Please don't tell me things went bad with your dad – T_

**No he took the news surprisingly well...he's excited about the baby and is being supportive about Sam and I trying our relationship again as well as us moving in together. I'm asking because I was wondering if you would come by my condo to help pack things up with Sam and I, since I know he won't want me lifting anything heavy. - Andy**

_Umm...ya sure I can do that, but would it be okay if I asked someone to join us? - T_

**Leo is free to come he can help with the light stuff. - Andy**

_Sorry no free child labor this weekend, Leo is with Dex. I'm wondering if you and Sam would be okay with me asking Steve Peck to come along...we've kind of been spending time together lately and he was going to come over tonight so... - T_

**The more the merrier I'm thinking of asking the rest of the gang to help tomorrow if there's still a lot to do. - Andy**

_Sounds good. I'll check with Steve and then be over...see you guys soon – T_

"Just a head's up Sam, I asked Traci to come help since I'm sure you'd rather me not lift the heavy stuff." Andy says setting her phone down.

"Smart idea McNally." Sam tells her as he pulls up to the condo.

**I will try to update again soon...**

**Until next time :)**
