This is going to be a few one shots about the relationship between Boo and Sam and Andy's baby.

Sam and Andy had found out they were expecting seven months ago. They were ecstatic, their friends were thrilled but surprisingly enough it was Boo who caught them by surprise.

Once Andy had hit the twelve week mark, Boo had started hovering around Andy and keeping his head very close to her stomach when she would sit on the couch or lie down in bed. Andy had read somewhere that animals could smell or sense when another animal was pregnant, something about the pheromones. Sam thought Andy was crazy but she believed that Boo knew she was pregnant and he was keeping her safe…. or at least the baby safe.

It wasn't until Andy was 6 months along that it became obvious that Boo was in fact aware of the little McSwarek baby who was growing inside Andy's belly.

One night Sam was in the kitchen cleaning up after dinner while Andy was sitting on the couch reading a baby name book.

"What about Rebecca?" Andy asked while looking over to Sam.

"Hmm not feeling it. She doesn't seem like a Rebecca."

"We don't even know her yet. What if she's actually an Esther or Agnes?" Andy laughed as she continued looking through the book for the perfect name.

"We are not naming our daughter Esther or Agnes, she's going to be bullied with a name like that," Sam murmured as he sat down on the couch with Andy.

"Well, what about -" Andy was interrupted mid sentenced by a powerful kick from what was probably a little foot.

Boo had been leaning against Andy's side when the kick had happened and he jumped up on the couch and starred at Andy's stomach.

"What is it Boo? Did you feel baby girl kick?" Andy looked at Boo while rubbing her stomach in the same spot as the kick.

Boo was so overwhelmed with excitement he jumped off the couch, gave Andy a few barks, jumped back on the couch and then put his nose to Andy's stomach.

"What do you think he's doing?"

"Shh!" Andy hushed Sam, "he wants to feel her kick again."

Sam was about to scoff when the baby gave another kick right to Boo's nose.

Andy started giggling, knowing that Boo and her baby were having a special moment.

Boo started nudging Andy's belly looking for another kick. Ask and you shall receive, the baby kicked again into Boo's nose.

Andy looked at Sam with teary eyes, "isn't that amazing. It's like they're communicating." Andy looked back to Boo and her baby bump.

"Yeah, that's pretty amazing. Looks like she's got him wrapped around her little finger, just like the rest of us."

It was from that moment that Boo became extremely overprotective of Andy. He became a little weary of people he didn't know very well coming close to Andy. He gave Dov a few defensive barks when he came over to pick up a screwdriver one Saturday afternoon. Boo had only met Dov a couple of times and he was not okay with him coming too close to Andy. Different people had different levels of clearance in Boo's mind.

He never barked at Tommy, but he would always be at Andy's side and would follow Tommy to and from the front door. Boo did not see Mya as threat either, if anything he was a little protective over Mya too since she had been around since he was a puppy and she spent a decent amount of time at the house.

Sam thought it was hilarious that Boo treated Nick as a stranger when he came back to Toronto to visit. Boo had never met Nick and was not happy to have him in their house near his pack. He was a little apprehensive when Nick shook hands with Sam but started barking when he gave Andy a hug. The irony was not lost on Sam or Andy.

Sam was allowed full access to Andy since he was the alpha male in the family. Andy had her two protectors and she knew her baby girl would always be protected.

Andy was now in her ninth month of pregnancy and she was sitting in the nursery folding some baby clothes. Boo was lying down next to her as she folded, keeping a watchful eye.

"Boo, our little girl is going to be here soon. I know you're excited," she said as she petted Boo's head.

"We still haven't come up with a name. Any suggestions?" Boo barked at Andy as if he was answering. Andy laughed and continued to fold the baby clothes.

Just as Andy started a new pile, she heard Sam come though the front door. In typical Boo fashion, he ran downstairs to make sure it was in fact Sam coming home. He then ran back upstairs and waited at the entrance of the nursery where Andy was still sitting crossed legged on the floor. Even though Boo knew it was Sam, he still wanted to let Andy know it was okay and that there were no intruders. He took his job as guard dog very seriously.

Sam made his way upstairs and gave Boo a quick pet on the head which Boo took as a sign that it was okay to go back inside the nursery and lie down, but to still remain attentive.

Sam laughed as he entered the room, "that dog does not let up. I can't imagine what its going to be like when she's born. Is he even going to let us near her?"

Andy laughed as she smiled at Boo, "he's protective! You both are. You should be happy you have some help keeping her safe from the world."

Sam nodded and smiled as he sat down because it was true, being this protective was exhausting!

"So going out of your mind with boredom yet? You're only 2 days into maternity leave and the house is spotless."

"I feel like I still could have worked up until I went into labour," Andy said with a touch of bitterness in her voice. She was a cop through and through BUT Sam was right and it was time to start maternity leave especially since her due date had come and gone.

"I know, but you heard what the doctor said. You have a stressful job and it was time for you to start your mat leave and prepare for the baby. You've obliviously been nesting since this is the first time I've seen you take the vacuum out." Sam jokingly poked fun at Andy while he continued to fold the little onesies.

"Haha soooo funny. I thought nesting was a myth but it's definitely not. I vacuumed, cleaned the oven, dusted the ceiling fan and did 3 loads of laundry" Andy said nonchalantly.

"You dusted the ceiling fan?! Andy you need to be more careful, what if you had fallen?" Sam was more concerned than angry.

"Sam, I'm pregnant not a cripple. Besides your guard dog here wouldn't let anything happen." Andy laughed as Boo perked up as if he knew they were talking about him or the safety of the baby.

"We should probably teach him how to get to the station or dial a phone," Sam joked as he looked up at Andy with a warm smile.
