Sorry for the hold up I've been really busy with work stuff right now, plus I've been trying to get a couple chapters written ahead.
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.

"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.

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.

Until next time :)
