There was a knock at the door, Sam goes and opens it
"Hey Dov" Sam greets
"Hey" Dov greets back as he walks in and Sam closes "It's about Andy isn't it?"
"Y-yea... Here have a seat" Sam says as he walks to the living room and sits down "And have a drink if you want" he says as he points to the beers on the coffee table
Dov sits down and opens a beer "So, what's wrong?"
Sam grabs a beer and does the same "I don't know if I should keep loving Andy"
Dov thinks and says "Sam, think of what Andy would do if you were in her situation, when you got shot, she stayed by your side when you were in a coma for a day, I know that their is a huge difference between being in a coma for a day and getting bad brain damage and not remembering anything for a lifetime. Think about it Sam, the explosion in the evidence room could have done a lot worse to her, she could've been dead. What you would you choose, see Andy alive and well, but can't remember a single thing or see her dead and going to her funeral the next week"
Sam thinks about what Dov just said "That's deep, I'd rather not see her dead.
Dov nods "I think you're giving up way too easy Sam, I know that her brain damage is bad, but that girl was the love of your life."
Sam listens to him and said "If this all didn't happen, tomorrow, I was going to propose to her, it won't probably work now"
"You don't have to marry her, but you can still love and take care of her." Dov continues "You're just wallowing in self pity, you're just not pitying Andy's loss, but your loss, you're just being a little selfish right now"
Sam nods and asks "How would I still take care of her?"
"Just be with her all the time, just like when she was her normal self, try to teach her how to walk again or teach her your name, even though it's impossible, but remember what that basketball player said after winning the NBA championship, he said 'Anything's possible'. And if you have something in mind that you want to do with her, and I mean if she can do it in her situation" Dov replied
"I'll try, but I feel I would just give up on her" Sam said
"Just keep trying, Sam" Dov replied
"Thanks Dov, I knew that you would be the person to talk to in this situation" Sam said as he took the last sip of his beer
"No problem, is their anything else you want to talk about?" Dov asks
"Before I called you, I had a dream that Andy was back to normal all of a sudden, I proposed to her and she said yes, then she said that she wanted a baby, and the dream ended there, of course, for like the 10th time in 4 days, I cried" Sam said
Dov nods "I'd cry too, if that happened to me"
Sam nods "Well, I guess that's all we have to talk about" gets up
Dov nods, gets up and walks to the door "You can talk to me anytime"
Sam walks towards the door and opens it for Dov "Yea, thanks for talking to me, it kind of settled me down a little bit"
Dov walks outside "No problem, just think about what I said"
"I sure will, I'll see you at work" Sam replies
Yea, cya" Dov replied and heads to his care
Sam closes the door and watches a little TV for the night
-The next morning-
Traci walks into Andy's hospital room "Wow, I thought I would never see you like this..." Traci said as Andy looked at her with an unemotional face
Traci sighed and said "You were a strong woman, Andy and you still are" Traci looked at the time and said "Sorry, I wish I had more time to talk, but I gotta go to work, it's not the same without you there. I'll come by after work or tomorrow if I can" Traci then walks out of the room then the hospital
-At the police station-
Traci runs into Sam "Hey, I just saw Andy, I can't believe everything from her memory is gone..."
"Yeah, it's a little tough for me, but hey, have you seen Shaw?" Sam asks
"He's in his office" Traci responds
"Last time I checked he wasn't in his office, and that was just two minutes ago" Sam says
"He's in there now" Traci smiles
Sam groans and walks back to Shaw's office
"Hey Shaw" Sam greets
"Oh hey Swarek" Oliver greets back
"You're right, I think Andy still needs somebody to love, I gave it a lot of thought last night" Sam says
Oliver looks at him and says "That's good Sam, good for you for not being, you know, pity over your loss, it's not like she's dead, you still gotta love somebody even when they're shattered. But hey, you look better today than you ever did in the past few days"
"Thanks Shaw, hey I gotta get to my things, talk to you later" Sam says he leaves
Oliver waves and continues doing his work
(Sorry for the short chapter, I promise the next couple chapters are going to be a little longer I hope, and yes I know I used some of the reviewers words, I was just trying to make the story a little longer)
