Authors note: I have bumped up the timeline as I don't want this story to be over 100 chapters long. I didn't say this at the beginning so I am saying it NOW. I don't own Rookie Blue nor the characters, this is purely fiction so enjoy; reviews welcome :) - RandomRhia x
After last night's standoff with Luke, Sam couldn't wait till the day that he would make Andy officially is. To him marriage was just a piece of paper saying that you actually loved that other person standing opposite you at the altar but that didn't make any difference to Sam. He had bought the ring, with Traci's help of course and he was waiting for the perfect propose. Both he and Andy did not want anything fancy, they weren't that couple, the cliché type who drank champagne for good news nor had fancy dinner parties. No, Sam and Andy were the couple that ate pizza in bed and drink beer for any occasion. They were content with that, happy no less. Sam had thought about stepping it up for the proposal, suit and tie, her in a dress go to a fancy restaurant and pay a ridiculous amount of money for entrees and dessert but that wasn't them and this proposal had to be perfect. He sighed and got ready to meet Andy for date night - a movie at her place with pizza and beer.
Andy danced around her living room, smiling being giddy. She thought that today couldn't have gone any better. She and Traci had the day off so they decided to have a girl's day instead of a girl's night. They spent hours upon hours talking about the men in their lives. It had been 6 months since Andy and Sam started their relationship and every day, every week and every month that went by they grew stronger and stronger. Traci had never seen her friend so happy even when she was with Luke, Andy didn't radiate happiness but now she is with Sam, it's a whole different ball game. And she told Andy that she was happy for the couple Traci knew that Sam wanted to propose to Andy and she helped him pick out the perfect ring for her, simple yet elegant. There was a knock at the door, bringing Andy out her thoughts. She skipped to the door and opened it knowing it was Sam at the other side. Standing there was Sam with a crate of beer and a pizza smiling. He walked in and gave her a welcoming kiss a surprise kiss at that. No matter how many times he would kiss Andy, her knees would always go weak, butterflies in her stomach - the normal cheesy cliché type of romance that you would see in romcom films. 'I see you have the pizza, the beer and all we need is the movie, so what do you want to watch?'
'Anything I am not bothered'
Oh so you not bothered, not bothered that we watch the sappiest movie ever? Well Sam Swarek is whipped' Andy laughed, knowing how easy it was to torment him.
'Who told you about that?'
'Oliver, your brother of everything, he can be your best man at our wedding if you want him to be.' Sam gulped, hearing about wedding made him think things. Did Nash spill anything to her whilst they were together? Of course she wouldn't Sam you idiot. Walking further into her apartment he wondered if tonight was the night. Yes, tonight is the night that Samuel Swarek, Mr. I-don't-have-any-rules badass UC cop was going to propose to the woman that he loves and worships so dearly.
'Penny for your thoughts?' Andy has seen him act strange over the past week and it was bugging her, she expressed her concerns to Traci earlier and Traci said he may be nervous for something. Andy didn't push it as Traci said nothing more on the latter.
'I was just thinking about something that's all. Now why don't we demolish this pizza, I'm starving!' not pushing Sam when it came to talking was the best thing to do, they never argued over it but Sam was a closed book about pretty much everything, especially when it comes to his family and past.
A few hours later, the movie had finished and Sam was plucking up the courage to ask Andy, he still didn't know how so he thought about winging it and asking her right there and then, both of them cuddling each other, taking in the serenity of being in the presence of one another. Here goes nothing, he thought, the worst she can do is say no.
'Andy, he started, standing up and circling her so that they were both facing each other 'We may not have been together, in this relationship for long but I need to tell you how much I love you and that I will always be there for you, always. You are my world, my soul mate; my other half and if we didn't patch anything up then I don't know what I would have without you.' Sam swallowed and looked into Andy's eyes, fear written all over her face, she thought he was leaving her for UC 'Stop over thinking it because it isn't what you are thinking, great proposal Sammy...'I love you with every fibre of my being so, Andrea McNally will you do the honour of becoming my wife? Making this, what we have official, I want the whole lot with you Andy, white picket fence a dog named boo radley and kids, so please will you marry me?'
Tears streaming down her face, Andy leapt up of the settee and into Sam's arms kissing him with the fire burning passion that she had for him, sealing the deal that she wanted to be his wife, to spend the rest of her life with him and the whole nine yards of life. Sam trailed butterfly kisses down her neck and onto her collar bone and back up knowing it would turn her own. He picked her up bridal style, never once his lips detaching form hers, he walked over to the bedroom careful not to trip over the empty pizza box, shut the door with his foot and they made love through the night.
