No, I do not own Rookie Blue...too bad :(

New story...let me know what you think - not sure where this is going to go.

Please review! And thank you so much if you do. Cheers.


"Are we still going to the Penny?" Traci asked.

"Yep." Andy answered.

"So you're going to tell him right? You've got to tell him." Traci urged.

"I know Traci and I am. I already asked if he's going up there, he said yeah but just for a little while."

"Now's your chance…maybe after you tell him he'll stay longer." She said with a wink.

They arrived at the bar; Andy didn't recognize anyone but Sam. She walked straight up to him. "Hey Sam."

"Hey, what did you want to tell me?" He was talking to her but looking around the bar as if he was looking for someone else.

"Are you waiting for someone?" She asked disappointedly.

"Yeah I am, what did you want?"

It's now or never she thought. "I'm in love with you." She said quickly.

Sam didn't seem to hear her. He just turned and smiled at her and got up. "That's too bad Andy, you're too late, gotta go." Stunned she looked over at what had caught his attention; Monica was standing just inside the bar. Before she knew it he was there and she was in his arms. He turned and smiled at her before walking out.

Andy sat up in bed. Thank god that was just a dream…she was out of breath.

"What's wrong? Another bad dream?" Luke asked looking over his shoulder at her.

Andy looked across the bed at Luke. "Yeah…just another bad dream."

"Can we talk about it tomorrow? I've got to get up really, really early." He said turning back, not waiting for her to answer.

So do I, you're taking me to work remember?

Within a few minutes she heard his breathing…he was asleep.

She just lay there thinking. It wasn't a surprise that Luke didn't stay up with her, all he knew was she was having disturbing dreams about the undercover operation. She hadn't told him exactly what the nightmares were about and she sure wasn't going to tell him that the nightmares had evolved into something else completely.

This is insane, first the nightmares about Sam being under that tarp at the warehouse. Then the sex dreams, now this. What am I going to do?

Andy hadn't official moved in with Luke yet. She had been dragging her feet the past two months since the undercover operation. She agonized over moving in with him, was it the right thing to do?

She was surprised that the people in her life were not as enthusiastic as she thought they would be. Her father didn't like the idea; Traci didn't like the idea. She even mentioned it to Chris and he just looked at her and said, 'ah…you sure about this?'

The only person who actually congratulated her was Sam. That bothered her, two days after they were back at work; Andy casually mentioned that Luke asked her to move in. Sam just leaned over and patted her on the shoulder and said, 'Congratulations McNally, I'm sure you'll both be happy'. That night the nightmares started.

It was six weeks on and off of nightmares, always the same thing. Luke would pull back the blue tarp on the dock and there would be Sam. Dead…eyes wide open staring at her. She felt that he blamed her for his death. She could never shake that feeling.

Two weeks ago, the sex dreams started. At first it started out with just heavy petting, he would be walking out of the Penny and she would chase him. He would stop just outside the door turn grab her and they would start kissing. It was incredible…until the dream changed and they were back in his bedroom, this time, the lights didn't come on and Sam didn't stop.

She tried all kinds of remedies hoping to cure the dreams. Hot milk before bed, curtailing spicy food, she tried a long soak in the tub before bed, glass of wine, nothing was working. One thing lately seemed to work, sleeping at Luke's house. This was the second night in a row that she had slept here; she thought she was safe.

She turned over, away from Luke and forced her mind clear hoping to fall sleep right away.

The next morning she arrived at the station with Luke. She was sitting in front of her locker already dressed and ready when Traci walked in. "Hey." She said when Traci approached.

"Hey, long night? You look tired." Traci turned her head thoughtfully. "Are you okay Andy?"

Andy looked around the locker room; there were plenty of other women there, getting ready for the next shift. "Why don't you change and after everyone leaves for parade we'll have a few minutes okay?"

It wasn't long before Traci sat down next to her. They watched as everyone filed out of the locker room. Once they were alone, Traci turned to her. "So what's up?"

"Remember I was telling you about the nightmares and then the 'other' dreams?"

"Yeah. I thought sleeping at Luke's helped stop them."

"So did I until last night. Last night I had a dream that we went to the Penny so I could tell ahh…Sam that I was in love with him."

"You what!" Traci asked incredulously.

"I know, I know. Anyway we got there and he told me that's too bad because it's too late. He was there waiting for Monica, she showed up and they were…well hugging and kissing."

"Euuu...you dreamed all this?"

"Yes! Oh god Traci…sometimes I think I am…you know, ahh…in love with him. I don't know maybe that's why I haven't moved in with Luke. What's losing my security deposit?" That was Andy's current excuse for not moving in with Luke. She had two more months on her lease.

"Ahh…well not to be the barer of bad news but…what about Luke?"

"I don't know…I don't think he loves me. He's never said so and I've never told him that I loved him. I mean I really care about him…but love? No I'm not in love if anything these dreams have showed me that much."

"And have they showed you that you are in love with Sam?"

"I said it before, it's complicated. I have all these feelings where he's concerned. Some are good things and some are not so good. Especially when he was riding my butt about something. But honestly lately…he's…I don't know…pulling away?" Andy sat thoughtfully for a moment before snapping her head around to Traci.

"I know what you are thinking but I don't think so." Traci said readily.

"What?"

"Oh c'mon Andy, I know you…now you are thinking that your subconscious has picked up on the fact that Sam is seeing Monica again."

"Well it is possible." Andy said more sure now than ever.

"I think it's more possible that both of you are in love with each other and just too damn stubborn to admit it. That's more of a possibility. Besides Sam's been around the Penny after shift and I would have heard something from Jerry. Nah…she's not seeing her."

"I don't know."

"Then ask him." Traci said. Andy looked at her like she was crazy. "What? Just ask him if he's seeing anyone, god you can ask him that can't you?"

"I guess…only Traci…ah…that's not all the story."

"What do you mean?" Traci inquired.

"Well after I finally fell back to sleep last night." Andy said quietly.

"Yeah?" Traci asked moving closer.

"I had another dream…ahh…I was having sex with Sam."

"Oh my god!" Traci exclaimed.

"It was so real, it was like having actual sex. I felt him…well you know…I felt like I was having sex. I remember calling out his name and when I woke up I realized that I really was having sex…only it was with Luke. I guess I sort of started something with him in my sleep, by time I woke up, we were in the middle of it."

"Andy…oh my god."

"Now I don't know if I said Sam's name in my dream or if I said it while we were having sex."

"Well what did he say? Did you ask him?" Traci asked.

"My God! You thought I would ask him? Yeah okay, how about this. Hey, Luke I know that we had some wild sex last night but did I happen to call out my partner's name during it?" Andy whispered loudly.

"Oh I'm so sorry…" Traci bit her lip and looked away. Andy noticed that her shoulders were shaking.

"Traci!" Andy asked in a loud whisper.

Traci's shoulders started shaking even more.

"Traci! Stop it."

Traci turned back to her; once she looked at Andy she burst out in laughter.

Andy thought about what she had just said and burst in laughter herself. They were both sitting on the bench in front of their lockers, bent over laughing hysterically.

"Ahem!" They heard loudly, sobering they turned and saw Sam standing in the doorway. "You ladies plan on attending parade this morning?" He asked them sternly.

They just looked at each other and started laughing all the more.

Sam just looked at them, turned and walked out. He couldn't help but feel that somehow he was the pit of that joke.

"We better go." Traci stated standing up wiping the tears out of her eyes. "Ask him? That's all you can do."

"Luke? Are you crazy?"

"No! Sam…ask him if he's seeing anybody. You're riding together today, right?"

"Yeah…I don't know. I'll see what kind of mood he's in, I told you, he's been pulling away from me lately."

"He's probably just bummed because he thinks you're moving in with Luke. You don't know, if you don't ask."
