No, I do not own Rookie Blue.

Well with New Year's Eve coming...I started thinking. Maybe Sam should have a party...

Like it? Hate it? Please review and thank you so much if you do! Take care, Cheers!


It was New Year's Eve at Sam's house. The mood throughout was joyous. All of the officers from the 15 and other area departments stood around talking and laughing looking forward to midnight. It was only minutes away.

Andy was standing with her friends Dov, Edie, Chris, and Gail they were there in their own corner of the room. Traci was in the kitchen talking to her on again off again boyfriend Jerry.

Andy checked the front hallway once and again sighed, he wasn't going to make it. Luke was busy once again and would not be here. She thought maybe he'd try at least once, for her but it didn't seem like it was going to happen.

Everyone in her group was a couple tonight, everyone but her. She saw Sam moving about the room, he laughed and talked with everyone. He kept catching her eye, Oh stop it your with Luke remember that. It had been hard lately because Luke seemed to never be around and Sam seemed to be always around.

Every time she seemed to need him, Sam appeared. Whether it was just to make her laugh when she was down or a shopping trip together for Christmas presents (Luke was too busy to go). Or driving completely out of his way to take her to Luke's house after shift, if Luke wasn't around. Christmas Eve he even took time to drop her off at her Dad's before joining his own Mom and Dad for the holiday. He even came in to help her with her packages and stayed for a bit talking to Tommy.

And then there were the diamond stud earrings he bought her for Christmas. They were beautiful; he said he bought them so that she could wear them whenever she wanted. They were small enough that she could wear them to work. Andy knew they may be small but the way they sparkled, they were very expensive. She tried to give them back and he said no, he got them on sale and he wanted her to have them.

Andy had them on tonight. Actually she had been wearing them since he gave them to her Christmas Eve. She didn't think about why. It wasn't as if Luke noticed. He bought her a very costly watch. He asked why she didn't wear it; she said she didn't want it to get knocked around at work. Really, she didn't wear it because it was so heavy it felt like a shackle around her wrist.

Everything lately felt like a shackle except the time she spent with Sam. She felt so much freer to be herself.

Sam smiled as he spotted her; he motioned towards the inner hallway, to meet him. He asked her to act as his hostess tonight. She did have a boyfriend, who seemed to care nothing about what she did. So why not?

Well Luke was clearly not thinking about her tonight so why should she be thinking about him, she reasoned. They met in the darkened hallway leading to the bedrooms and bath. "Well everybody seems to be having a good time. Thank you so much for agreeing to help out tonight I couldn't have done this without you." Sam said with a grin. That damn sexy grin that he had been using on her all to often lately.

Andy thought she was going to explode with feeling. She forced herself to look away. "No problem Sam, it was my pleasure." Oh god, don't start wanting him again. Don't do this.

She realized that there was only 30 seconds left before midnight. Every one was running around getting their glasses. She and Sam had already set up an area earlier with plastic champagne glasses and Chris and Dov were busy pouring everyone champagne to ring in the new year.

10, 9, 8, 7...

She looked around the room and then back to Sam. He had two glasses of champagne in his hands. Where did those come from? She thought. He smiled and offered one. "Thank you." She said reaching for the glass.

4, 3, 2, 1… the room exploded with "Happy New Year" being shouted. Andy turned to look around; everyone was kissing somebody. She looked back to Sam, he shrugged his shoulders and he leaned in giving her a smacking kiss her on the lips. He went to pull back, but stopped only a few inches away, he looked at her. The electricity crackling between them as they stood and stared. Desire, it was there so thickly that neither one heard anyone else in the room.

Sam took her glass and put both glasses on the nearest table, he reached for her hand and they quickly slipped down the hallway that lead to Sam's bedroom. He brought her just inside the bedroom, turned her to him. They reached for each other at the same time, there mouths meeting. They kissed hard, their tongues rubbing, their hands all over each other.

Sam pulled back, both of them breathing raggedly. His hand caressed her face. One of her earrings twinkling at him in the dimness of the light. She still had them on, he thought. "We better stop this now." He said.

"No," she said her hands on his waist. She didn't stop to think, she just felt. "I don't want to." Lifting her face to his for another kiss. This one was slower and longer and sexier. She pulled at his waist, pulling him in closer to her.

Sam moaned. He couldn't help himself; she was doing crazy things to him. He walked her back against the wall. He framed her face with his hands to hold her still while he kissed her.

He stopped again and growled her name, "McNally…we can't…not now…stay with me later." He said moving his torso against hers. Oh god, what was he doing, he thought. All this time they had spent together lately, during work and after, had finally caught up with him. He wanted her so badly; he ached.

Andy felt the same way; she put Luke out of her mind. She didn't think, she just felt. She was drowning in his eyes and she didn't care. "Yes." She breathed. She would have promised him anything in that moment. Oh god yes, later. she thought.

They looked over themselves making sure that their clothes and hair was back in place before stepping out into the hallway. Andy entered the living room with Sam trailing behind her, just in time to see Luke step through the front door. He smiled widely at her, raising his arms and mouthing "I'm sorry," to her.

She assumed he meant he was sorry he was late. She heard a groan behind her, knowing all to well whom that belonged too. Sam quickly walked around her, leaving her standing there alone as Luke approached. He pulled her into his arms, hugged her to him and said "Happy New Year honey, sorry, I tried to make it on time."

She looked up at him. "Happy New Year." She said as he swooped down and covered her mouth with his. She tried to smile when he pulled away. "Want something to drink?" she asked needing time to get away from him and calm down.

"Sure" he said, "I'll have a beer." Luke answered.

"Be right back." She said and walked into the kitchen. She thought Sam was in there, he wasn't. She walked out towards the entrance to his garage, he had an extra refrigerator out there with the beer in it. She grabbed Luke's beer and started back and reached to pull the door she left ajar.

That's when she heard voices coming from the hallway. It was two women talking, once she heard Luke's name she stopped to listen.

"Can you believe it?" The first female voice said.

"I know, looks like he's playing them both. I thought Vivian said he was going to dump her?" The second voice said.

"I saw them together two nights ago, he certainly didn't look like he was still with his girlfriend then." She laughed. "His tongue was practically down her throat. When I saw Andy hanging all over Swarek tonight I thought that he wasn't lying; he was through with her."

The second voice chimed in. "Yeah I thought Vivian said she was seeing Luke tonight. Did you see the look on Andy's face when he walked in? Where were she and Swarek before then? That poor guy, I actually feel sorry him."

"Yeah really," the other one said, "she's playing Luke with Swarek and he's playing her with Vivian. Viv's a big girl she can take care of herself, I just hate to see Sam get treated like this. Hell when this is over, I wouldn't mind stepping in to soothe his fractured ego, he is so yummy." They both laughed.

A male voice stopped their conversation. "Hey you two, been looking for you. Come on and join the party. Got a couple of guys from the 12 I'd like you to meet."

Andy's heart was in her throat. She just stood there; she didn't recognize any of the voices. What a mess. No wonder he's been so extra busy. That cheating creep…well…no, I didn't cheat, I just kissed Sam…and then promised to stay the night with him. Oh Christ what am I gonna do now? What if I lose Sam in all this…little miss yummy is just waiting to soothe him after!

Andy grabbed the doorway to steady herself; she straightened her shoulders and set out to look for Luke. She found Sam instead, standing away from the crowd of people. He just stood leaning against the doorway of the living room. Andy walked up, "Sam?" he turned to her. "I have to go with Luke right now but we need to talk later."

He just shrugged his shoulders, "You know what McNally. There's a line I've heard before that applies to this situation. 'Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me' do you have any idea just how many times you've screwed me over? I'm use to it by now. Go with Luke." He turned and walked away from her.

She was overwhelmed. Go to Sam? Or to Luke?


Well? I haven't tried this angle yet...running out of angles. They need to get this show back on!
