A/N: I know I should be working on my other story but this idea would not get out of my head. It's AU. Sam is 29 and Andy is 19. She is in college and at the moment has no thoughts of becoming a cop. Please give this a chance, it has a slow start but heats up soon!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Rookie Blue!

The first time I laid eyes on Sam Swarek I was sitting outside my dad's office waiting for him to get off work. Ever since I went off to college I didn't really have a lot of time to spend with dad. Between trying to find a job and school work there wasn't a lot of free time. I saw Sam walking out of the locker room, he was on the phone probably talking to some girl. But I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. I noticed the way he walked, like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. I could see the worry lines on his forehead as he got closer. But even with all of that there was something about him that wouldn't let me tear my eyes away. As he passed me I suddenly found my shoes very interesting. I couldn't dare make eye contact with someone like him, it would probably just lead to really embarrassing blushing.

My dad was taking such a long time, he knew we had dinner plans but he said he couldn't leave until he tied up the loose ends on the case he was working on. To say that I was used to waiting for my dad would be an understatement, that is all I had been doing since my mom left 5 years ago. Ever since then he became much more interested in his cases and much less interested in me. Sargent Boyko must have seen me sulking outside my dad's office once again because the next thing I knew he was sitting next to me.

"Hey sweetheart, waiting on your dad?" Boyko had become like a second dad to me, I spent a lot of hours after school at the station and he was always there when I needed to be cheered up.

"Yeah, we were supposed to go to dinner an hour ago." I hated admitting my family problems but with Boyko it just seemed natural.

"I'm sorry honey, I'm sure he will be done soon. How's school going?"

"It's good, really different then what I'm used to. I'm trying to find a job, I feel bad making dad pay for everything. Between living on campus, books and classes it adds up. I just don't want to put any extra stress on him."

"Have you found anything promising yet?"

"No, I think I started looking to late. No one is hiring, apparently everyone's staff is 'full'." It was true I had been looking, desperately for anything. But every time I thought I found something it ended up not working out.

"I might have something for you, it's going to be a lot different than what your looking for probably. But it would be a job and free room and board, what do you say?"

I was so confused, what kind of job could he be talking about? Free room and board? That sounded amazing..but what exactly would it entail? "What do you mean? What would I be doing? I'm pretty much open to anything at the moment."

"One of our officers, Sam Swarek, he has had a hard year. He has a two year old boy, well I guess he's almost two. Anyway the boy's mom walked out about six months ago, just left in the middle of the night. Sam has been trying his best but he just doesn't have enough time in the day. I guess what I'm asking is would you be willing to be like a nanny for his son? I know he has a studio apartment above his garage that he would probably let you live in. He's a good guy, just hit a rough patch."

I was stunned, Sam Swarek needed help? He didn't seem like the kind of guy that couldn't handle things. "What do you mean by probably? Does he know that you are asking me this?"

"I have mentioned him getting a nanny. He just has too much on his plate and it was beginning to take a tole on him. I told him I would keep my eyes open because he didn't know anyone who would be willing to do it. I guess you could say that seeing you here today was fate. You are perfect for this Andy, I don't think there is anyone better for this job."

"Okay I mean if you really think so, I've never really taken care of a kid before. But I do need the money so..uh..yeah, I'll take it." Did I really just agree to do this? I just agreed to live with Sam Swarek..under the same roof..and help him take care of his kid!

"I believe in you Andy, the taking care part will come naturally. You'll be great. I'm just gonna go call Sam and let him know that I found someone, then I'll try you over there and you can meet them."

"Wait right now? Like I'm going to start immediately?"

"Well yeah, I kinda thought so, you need the money don't you? And the sooner I get you in there they sooner I can stop worrying about him. You in?"

This was all so overwhelming, the only reason I was here was to wait for my dad and now I have a job and Boyko wants me to start tonight! So much for the dinner with dad, oh well its not like he is really hurrying things along for me. "Uh..yeah I'm in. Just let me go tell my dad that I can't do dinner tonight."

"Okay sounds great, just meet me in my office when your done. And Andy, thanks for this."

"Yeah no problem, I'll meet you in a few." I couldn't believe this was happening. I already had butterflies in my stomach, how could I have agreed to this! "Hey dad, something came up and I'm going to have to take a rain check on dinner."

"Okay sweetheart, I'll see you later." He didn't even look at me as he said it, just kept staring at that stupid case file. Maybe this job was a good idea, I wouldn't have to rely on dad for anything. I made my way to Boyko's office, he had just hung up the phone when I knocked. He waved me in.

"So are you all ready to go? Sam said that Nathan is already asleep but that you could go ahead and come and get settled. I figured we could run by your place pack up a few things and then head on over. That sound good to you?"

"Yeah sure that sounds great. He's okay with it being me right?"

"Yeah, I think he is just relieved to have some help, doing everything on your own can be tough, you would know that."

I couldn't help but laugh, I knew exactly what that felt like. "You could say that, so should we get going?"

"Yep, all set. Let's go and get your stuff."

A lot had changed in my life in the matter of an hour. I was so nervous, the man I couldn't keep my eyes off of was basically my new boss. This should get interesting.

A/N: Let me know what you think, should I continue?
