Thanks for all the review. Just a little background of Toronto, Sick Kids hospital is the trauma hospital in Toronto that explicitly deals with children from baby's to 18 years of age and when a child has suffered a trauma in the GTA (greater Toronto area) they are most likely to be sent there.

After the paramedics took the baby into the ER where the doctors there took over, Andy was forced to sit in the waiting room while they checked out the baby. Sam had just arrived along with one of Claire's co-works from child and youth services.

"Hey have you heard anything yet?" Sam asked as he looked at Andy. Andy didn't reply, just simply shook her head. When Sam looked closer he thought he saw a tear slip down her face. However before he could say anything, one of the doctors came out to speak with them.

"You are the police officer who brought in the baby right?"

"Yes we are and this is child's aids worker." Sam to the doctor while sneaking glances at Andy to make sure she was okay.

"I am Dr. Hunt; the baby boy that you brought in appears to be approximately 18 months old. He is severely male nourished, has a severe case of diaper rash and seems to be lagging behind in his motor skills. By 18 months baby's should be walking and climbing, he however seems to have very little muscle control and isn't moving nearly as much as he should be."

"He was confined in a cage when we found him, so that probably has effected on his movement." Andy mumbled.

"Is he going to be okay doc?"

"Well he will have to stay here for a few days to be monitored, but he should be fine. And since he is still young with some physiotherapy he should be learning to walk in no time. If you would like to see you can come this way." The doctor told them as he led both Sam and Andy to the baby's room.

Andy hesitated before going into the room, waiting at the front door staring at the basinet in the room. Sam looked back before making his way over to her.

"Andy, are you okay?"

"Yeah Sam I am fine." She said as she avoided his gaze, she was not a very good liar to begin with but Sam could always see right through her.

"Come on Andy, I know you better than that. Seriously what is wrong I am worried about you."

"Well Sam it's not your job to worry about me, we broke up remember."

Sam stopped for a second before responding, he wasn't sure how much of his thoughts he wanted to share with Andy. "Andy, I still care about you. Just because we aren't dating doesn't mean I stopped caring. Now tell me what is wrong."

She looked at Sam and could see that he was genuine in his response and decided to let him into her head. "It is just I can't believe someone would do that to a baby. I mean they treat this precious child worse than a people treat animals. I know I am a cop and I have been for 2 years and maybe I am naive but I just didn't think people were this cruel."

"Andy you aren't naïve or stupid, you have a belief in the goodness of mankind and that is what makes you a good cop. You want to help people and you believe that people have some type of morals. Unfortunately there are cruel and horrible people in this world and people who harm children, especially their own children and among the most despicable, but you shouldn't let that darken your outlook on society and change who you are. I said it before and it still holds true, you have a lion's heart McNally. "

"Thanks Sam."

"No problem McNally, now let's see how this little guy is feeling." Sam told her as he guided her into the room. The baby looked up at them with a blank stare. Andy just couldn't image what this baby had already gone through in its young life.

"If you like you can hold him; it would probably be good for him to get use to human contact." Andy nodded and gently lifted the baby into her arms. Sam just stared at her an instantly imagined that it was his child that she was holding.

"Andy, it's getting late, we should probably get back to the station." She looked at him with understanding and carefully hand the baby over to the child and youth services worker and followed Sam back to the squad with the image of that precious baby boy still in her head.
