Chapter 4:
This was more than she was sure Sam could take, he was trying to change for her and she knew it. She'd move to Costa Rica if she asked him to, but the moment she read the name of the sponsor, she knew why Sam had been so anxious. So yes, she'd heard from his sister that Sammy wasn't the possible best guy for her, but he was her guy and she loved him. On the way back from the prison after Sam had told her the truth about how jay had ended up in prison she had told him he wasn't anything like that man, and she meant it, but she still had to face one more thing: telling Sam about the fact that he might become a father himself.
"Sam?" She laid in bed with him after he took her his frustration and showed Andy just how grateful he was of her accepting his demons, some of which he'd never expect for her to discover. And yet, Sam didn't know anything about Andy's suspicions of being pregnant and yet, she had stayed. Because she knew she had chosen to be with Sam for a reason.
"Yeah?" He played with the small of her back as she heard her even breathing.
"I love you." She leaned into kiss him slowly.
"I like hearing you saying that." He said with a smile.
"I love you." She repeated shyly.
"I love you too Andy." She knew it was her chance. She had to tell him.
"I love you and that's why I need to tell you something." Sam frowned at the seriousness in her voice. She moved slowly to the bathroom.
"Andy?"
She came back a moment later holding something behind her back. "Okay McNally, you're scaring me..."
"I only told Traci a few days ago and then all hell broke lose... I'm not sure yet, I mean I have taken some tests..."
"Test?" He inquired looking into her face and hen back at her hands.
"I understand if you don't want this, specially after what just happened but... Sam, I really want this to work, I want a future that includes you..." Sam gulped as he understood the implications of her words. She was telling him she was pregnant.
"Sam. Please say something..." She was in the verge of crying as her voice broke.
"Are you... Are you sure?"
"Not a 100% but I took a few of these and Traci says..." Sam's phone buzzed on the night stand. Before she could react Sam was reaching for the phone.
"Swarek.." He remained quiet for a moment, listening closely.
"Sam... Can we please talk about this? I thought we were making progress..."
"Epstein is awake." Sam said simply.
"So... Did you tell him?" Traci asked Andy as soon as she entered the hospital.
"No I didn't, well I sort of did but then, he sort of shot down. He didn't speak to me the whole way here."
"Oh man, Andy I'm sorry."
"There's just a lot of stuff going on, you know?"
"Yeah... How's that thing with his dad?"
"The same as his sister, they don't... They don't know Sam as I do, he's changed, he's better. Better than they give him credit for."
"That's one messed up family system..." Traci muttered. Making Andy roll her eyes.
"What's the news on Dov?"
"No word much yet, he's been awake for an hour or so but only Chloe and Oliver have been in with him."
"How much damage can a two week coma do?"
"Lets hope not too much." Traci sighed.
Andy had heard what the rest had. Dov might be paralyzed. It might or not be permanent as the coma had allowed his brain to heal at his own pace. And then again, her friend might not be able to walk again.
"It's too early to tell." The Doctor said. "Lets just take it one step at a time and see how the condition professes, first thing is first and most important, Dov is awake and his mental faculties seem intact."
The last thing Andy had seen was Dov fighting as the doctors broke the news. She then went looking for Sam who had been called back at the station to fill on some last minute paperwork. She had asked Traci for a ride as Sam had texted her he'd be working late.
"What are you going to tell him?"
"Assuming he still talks to me?" Andy said sarcastically. "I doth know..."
"I could go to the clinic with you if you want." Traci offered as they waited for Leo to come out of hockey practice.
"Hi aunt Andy!" The young boy said as McNally was about to answer. "Are you staying for pizza tonight?"
Andy smiled at him. "I don't know buddy, I should probably go home, it's been a long day..."
"Oh okay, next time, I guess.."
"Next time it is." She assured him. As she looked back at Leo, Traci knew exactly what she was thinking.
"Hey." A soft voice said behind Andy. She almost jumped on the spot.
"Sam." She hissed. "How did you... "
"Spare key, I didn't think you would have moved it since last year... I'm sorry I didn't tell you where to meet."
Andy huffed, "you didn't say much really..."
"I..." Sam said nervously, running his hand trough his hair. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to run so cowardly, but man I wasn't ready for you to drop that bomb on me."
"You? What about me..? Sam I am scared too! I was terrified to tell you when I first found out! And then all the stuff with your dad happened and I didn't think it to be the perfect time to tell you about the possible child you were going to have!"
"How did this happen? I mean, I know how but... Are we even ready for this? This was supposed to be us trying to figure out each other again and..."
"I have an appointment with Traci's doctor tomorrow, just to make sure... I've taken enough tests as it is...so I'm pretty sure it's a done deal. " Sam walked closer to her. She couldn't read the emotions on his face.
"Okay... So we make sure.."
"We?" She inquired.
"You said it yourself... I'm a nothing like my dad and I don't want to be, so if there's this little person who is meant to be my kid, our.." He said gravely. "Then, I'll do what I have to, to be a good dad."
What did you think? So next up: Sam and Andy go to the clinic and Sarah Comes back into their lives as Chloe and Dov come to terms with some news of their own. Thanks for reading!
