Disclaimer: I don't own Rookie Blue.

A.N. Sorry this took so long. I really do not like the way this ended (very cheesy IMHO) so I left it for a while to see if I could think of something better. I am trying to finish up all of my incomplete stories (the deal my friend forced me to make was no new RB multichapter stories until all of the in-progress stories are complete) so I decided to post this chapter as it is. If I think of something better, I will change it.


They had been sitting in the waiting area for a while when Jerry's cell phone rang. He walked away to answer it. When he returned, he did not look happy. "Andy, that was Boyko. There was just a big accident and he needs me and Traci. Are you going to be okay?"

Andy looked from Traci to Jerry and back. Then she handed Ellie to Traci. "Give me a minute." She grabbed the diaper bag and something from the bottom of the carriage and headed into the nearest restroom.

When she emerged three minutes later, Jerry stared at her in shock. Andy ignored him, setting down the diaper bag and taking her daughter from Traci. Then she handed Traci her uniform. "Can you take this with you back to the barn? And, can you go to the house and bring some clothes for all three of us?" she tried to hand Traci her house key.

Traci pushed Andy's hand away. "Andy, I have your spare key and will go as soon as I can." She pulled Andy into a hug. "Call if you need anything." She looked at Jerry and the two of them left.

A few minutes after Traci and Jerry left, a doctor stepped out of the OR. "Excuse me, are you Mrs. Swarek?"

Andy nodded. "Is Sam okay?"

"He will be fine ma'am. We are moving him into a private room soon. If you want, you can wait there." He handed her a slip of paper with a room number.

Andy thanked the doctor before setting her daughter gently in the carriage. "We're going to see Daddy soon sweetie" she whispered before setting off.

Andy reached the room just as Sam was being wheeled in. A nurse stopped her before she could follow. "He's still unconscious. He should be awake within the next few hours."

Andy entered the room and set the carriage in a corner. She gathered Ellie into her arms. "Daddy's gonna be okay, sweetie" she murmured (more for herself than for her baby). She rocked Ellie gently until Ellie fell asleep. When Ellie was asleep, she pulled a chair next to Sam's bed and sat down.

Exhaustion caught up to her and Andy fell asleep.


Andy woke as Ellie began to cry. Andy pulled a diaper out of the diaper bag and used the small table in the room as a changing table. "All clean" she cooed to her daughter. "Now I can feed you." She grabbed a blanket out of the bag and sat down next to Sam's bed. Covering herself, she began to feed her daughter. She watched Sam, hoping he would wake up soon.

She took her eyes off Sam to burp her daughter. "Come on sweetie, give me a burp for Daddy" she cheered her daughter on.

"Hey, that's my job."

Andy looked up, startled. Her eyes met Sam's. "Hey, you're awake." Relief was evident in her voice. She stood up and kissed Sam.

Sam deepened the kiss and when he pulled away, he took Ellie out of Andy's arms. "Hi princess" he said softly, stroking her cheek. Ellie smiled up at him and burped. "That-a-girl" he cheered. He patted a spot on the bed next to him.

Grinning, Andy climbed over the rail on the bed and settled at his side. She took Ellie back into her arms and leaned into her husband's chest as she finished feeding her daughter. "How are you feeling?"

Sam kissed her forehead. "Better now that you're here."

Andy picked up her head to glare at him. "Sam!"

Sam sighed. "What? I just had surgery. I'm in pain but I don't want you to tell the doctor."

Andy was puzzled. "Why not?"

"Andy, you tell the doctor and he's going to give me meds for the pain that is going to knock me out. I haven't seen you and Ellie in three and a half months. I don't count the time when I saw you for ten seconds and was able to warn you to get out of the neighborhood. I just want to enjoy my time with you."

"Promise me that you will tell me when the pain is too much." Sam nodded and she handed Ellie to him. "She seems to like when you burp her."

Andy climbed off of the bed and slipped into the bathroom while Sam burped Ellie.


When she returned, Oliver was visiting. Andy saw that Ellie was in Oliver's arms and Sam was holding the picture she had placed in his locker earlier in the day. Oliver handed Ellie to her and waved to Sam.

"Traci sent me with that bag" he pointed to a bag in the corner "she said it was what you requested. I have to get back but I'll try to stop by later." He let himself out of the room.

Andy sat down next to Sam's bed. He waved the picture at her, grinning. "I guess we will just have to go again."

Andy smiled. "Maybe we'll do family pictures."

Sam caught her eye. "Sounds like a plan." He motioned to the corner. "What did Traci send with Oliver?"

Andy stood up and went over to the bag and peered in. "Clothes. For us. I'm so happy she has the key to our house." She sat down again next to Sam as she gently rocked her daughter.

They sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes, locked in each others eyes. Sam broke it first. "Andy…"

She stood, placing a kiss on his forehead. "I'll get the doctor."

The doctor gave Sam medication for the pain. He left as Sam drifted off to sleep. Andy placed their sleeping daughter next to him on his good side. She touched his cheek lightly. "Sleep Sam, we'll be here when you wake up." And every step of the way for your recovery she silently added.


The End! And if you want to read the epilogue, it is the same as the epilogue of "Undercover Again".
