Andy opened the door since Sam had both hands full. She was pleasantly surprised when instead of the chairs, he went straight for the swing.

Sam caught her looking between the bed and the other porch furniture and simply said, "More comfortable."

Andy didn't think twice. "Ok."

They talked and drank coffee. Andy asking questions she would've felt foolish asking in uniform since she was second generation.

If asked, neither could say when or how but sometime during their conversation she stretched out and her head found its way into his lap.

He sat there and played with her hair.

"Hey Sam?"

"Yeah?"

"You ever broke 'Rule #1'?"

"No."

"No, you've never done it or No, you've never wanted to?"

Sam's hand stilled. "Both."

The question "Why?" slipped out before she could stop it.

Sam laughed softly. "Because I've never had a rookie worth breaking it before."

"Before?"

"Don't go there, McNally ..."

"You said it."

"McNally, do you know what breaking 'Rule #1' means for the rookie?"

"If we got caught I could lose my badge."

"Do you know what it means for the T.O?"

She shook her head.

"On top of whatever disciplinary actions the white shirts take, it means living with the knowledge that you were responsible for destroying someone's dream ..."

"Sam, it's my choice, I could never hate you because of a choice I made."

"You are one helluva woman, y'know that? It's incredibly stupid to even think about it, never mind ..."

Andy smiled. "Not as stupid as having feelings and not acting on them ..."

"You sayin' it would be stupid not to kiss you when right now that's pretty much the only thing I can think about?"

Andy smiled. "Yes sir."

Sam growled. "Keep it up woman."

Andy laughed as she got up, straddling Sam's thighs.

Putting her hands on his shoulders, she leaned in so her breath blew on his ear as she whispered, "Are you gonna kiss me or not, Swarek?"

Sam answered by cupping her face in his hands and touching his lips to hers. He was a tease, Andy thought when his lips left hers long before she wanted them to.

Sam chuckled as he pulled back and saw the look on her face. He feathered kisses over her face before settling on her lips again. This time the kiss was longer. This time when he pulled back she was smiling.

Andy climbed off his lap and laid down pulling Sam with her. He laughed as he stretched out on the bed and Andy put her head on his chest.

"Comfortable, McNally?"

She wrapped his arms around herself. "I am now."

Sam laughed as he kissed the top of her head.

They laid there for a little while before Sam climbed out from under her, Andy grumbling her displeasure.

Sam brushed his nose across hers. "You're cute when you're tryin' to get your way."

"Remember that Monday ..."

Sam laughed. "McNally, I try not to remember how cute you are when we're on duty."

"Yeah, 'cause the uniform is such a turn on ... guys may wear it well, but on a girl ..."

Sam chuckled as he touched her cheek. Dropping a quick kiss on her lips, he whispered, " Who said anything about the uniform? Thanks to last night, I'm gonna have a very hard time remembering your uniform."

Andy blushed.

"But even before I saw that ... let's just say I'm not counting down to your evaluation because I can't wait to be rid of you."

Andy leaned up and kissed him. "Then why are you countin' down to evaluations?"

"Because then 'Rule #1' isn't an issue ... and you can be involved with whoever you want."

"And if I want to be involved with you?"

Sam smiled.

"Now."

"Andy ..."

They were interrupted when they heard Sarah's voice asking if they were ready for something to eat.

"We'll talk about it later," and he pulled her off the bed laughing as she tried to stay there.

Sam pulled her into his arms, when she wouldn't look at him, he whispered against her ear, "I mean it, Andy, we'll talk about it ..."

Andy looked up at him and the smile she gave him coulda lit up Beamsville or Lincoln it was so big. Her smile brought out his dimples.

All through supper they smiled at each other when they thought Sarah wasn't looking.
Sarah cleared the table and thought they won't make 6 months, they'll be lucky if they aren't together before they leave.

Andy excused herself after supper going to her room. She had just called her dad when she felt Sam's hands on her shoulders. She smiled.

"Everything ok?"

"Yeah, just checked in with my dad."

Sam smiled. "We can head back if you need to ..."

"Nope. He's good."

"Does he know where you are or who you're with?"

"Yeah, I told my dad I was going away for the weekend with my sexy T.O. ... I don't think so!"

Sam chuckled. "Why don't you visit with my sister for a while?"

"But ..."

"But nothin'. Meet me on the swing later."

Andy smiled. "Ok."

Sam left her room.

Around 8 Sarah excused herself. "Andy, I'm going to throw on my pj's, you're more than welcome to do the same."

Andy thought about Sam.

"If you're worried about that brother of mine, I can banish him from back here." The girls were drinking wine in the kitchen.

Andy laughed. "I don't think that's necessary, but I will take you up on the offer to change."

Andy was just coming back downstairs when Sam came in.

Checking to make sure his sister couldn't see or hear, he leaned in and whispered, "Are you trying to torture me?"

Andy grinned at him. "All I did was change ..."

"Woman, you're gonna be the death of me! If you're not worrying me out of my mind on shift, you're ..." he looked her up and down. She was wearing the shorts, not the pants.

Andy giggled. Checking to make sure Sarah wasn't watching, she leaned up and kissed him on the cheek and whispered, "Something to think about ..."

Sam groaned, like he'd be able to think about anything else?!
