Saturday was here and Andy felt a lot better she'd been out just over a week and she was definitely on the mend , she still didn't want to over do it and was glad that she had company. She got up, woke William up and they both went down to the kitchen for breakfast, Andy had a coffee and Will had his normal juice. After they'd finished eating she swilled the plates and loaded the dishwasher, got Will down so he could go play when she heard "Andy, Will"

"Yeah " she called and in bounded a Leo with Tracy behind him. " he's in there" Andy told Leo and pointed to the living room.

"trace you've only come for the weekend " she said laughing at the big bag Tracy had bought with her.

" well I figured that since your still...taking it easy or should be" she said as she eyed the wet plates..."relaxing, that a few films would be in order and I didn't know which ones to bring so I just bought a few" she smiled and wiggled her eyebrows. Andy and Tracy sat in the kitchen, laughed and chatted while the boys played with toys and drew and then went and played in the back garden, only coming in for snacks.

"so while you were sleeping" Tracy said "guess who I got better acquainted with..." she smirked

"oh you didn't" Andy grinned

"oh I certainly did" said Tracy... "oh no not that way" she laughed and swiped at Andy once she realized how it sounded. "we got paired up one day and we just hit it off" she smiled a dreamy smile. "He's really nice... Mr. Jerry. Barber . Officer." she said each word pointedly.

Andy laughed "stop saying his name like that your making me laugh too much and it hurts"

"sorry" said Tracy "did you know that him, Sam, Oliver, Noelle and Frank ALL went through the academy together" she said " its kinda like us lot coming through together. Think we'll be as close as them" she asked

" I think we already are" said Andy as she thought about the help she'd had from them all... true family "wow look at the time " she said "best get the dinner on..."

Will and Leo finally came in and chilled on the sofa, tired from playing and running around. "Dinners ready soon" called Andy from the kitchen, she couldn't believe they spent the whole day in the kitchen laughing and joking around, she'd missed Tracy and there girlie chats, Tracy dished up while Andy set the table.

"come on kids " said Tracy "Dinners out" The 2 boys came running and Tracy lifted Will up onto the chair, Andy sat next to him and Leo was sat next to Tracy on the other side, they all munched quietly. Tracy swilled the dishes once everyone was finished and the boys were excused from the table while Andy loaded the dishwasher. They all went into the living room and Tracy grabbed a DVD from her bag and put it on,

"boys you can watch this then bath and bed" she said. She put it in the DVD player and Wreck it Ralph came on " yay" they both cried and flopped on the floor in front of the TV while the girls sat on the sofa.

" I love this film" Andy said to Tracy " always makes me feel good"

"shhhh " said the boys to no one in particular, the girls smiled at each other and they all went quiet watching it. By the end of the film Will was asleep and Leo was getting there.

"I'll carry him up for you" Tracy said as she bent down and scooped Will up in her arms " Leo you come up with Andy and she'll run you a bath" she finished. Andy followed Tracy up stairs with Leo in tow and went to run the bath while Tracy put Will down "pj's in the top drawer" she called to Tracy as she was putting in the bubble bath " like lots of bubbles?" she asked Leo " yeah" he said "your never too old for bubbles right?" he asked back "right " said Andy "never too old" she smiled at him.

she went into Wills bedroom to find Tracy tucking him in, " baths ready " she said "I'm just gonna go get changed" she told her

"OK , see you when he's done" said Tracy and left Andy who had bent down to kiss William Goodnight with one hand on her now healing wound. She then went and changed into her pj's and climbed into bed. A little while later Tracy had dried and dressed Leo and put him in the blow up bed she'd made for Leo in Wills room, she then came into Andy's room, got changed and hopped into bed, they chatted for a while before they both drifted off to sleep.

The next day both girls got up early and Tracy helped Andy do a bit of cleaning before the boys got up. Andy needed to go shopping as she hadn't gone the day before so they agreed to go when the boys were up. They pottered about and did all the housework together and Andy then had a rest before they woke the boys up for breakfast. Tracy made coffee and they both sat and drank it while they made the shopping list. Just as they'd finished making the list there was a knock at the door. Andy looked to Tracy and Tracy to Andy then Tracy got up and opened the door to find Sam stood there.

"hi " he said " Andy OK?"

"yeah , come in " she said with a smile " didn't know you were coming today, it's a bit early for you isn't it?" she asked

"Yeah I guess, well I'm on nursery run in a couple of days so..." he smiled as Tracy shut the door and led him in to the living room. He looked around for the boys but couldn't see them.

"still in bed" Andy smiled at him, "had a few things to do before they got up."

"ahhh" he said and sat down on the sofa across from Andy

"so need anything" he asked

"well now you ask, we need to go shopping " Tracy said " but we need to get the kids up first"

" coffees in the pot " said Andy who stood up with Tracy to go wake up the boys. They went upstairs woke up the boys, got them dressed and bought them downstairs for breakfast.

"hi Sam" they both said when they saw him in the kitchen leaning against the side, coffee mug in hand.

"morning boys" he smiled

They sat at the table and were given their breakfasts, then when they'd finished the bowls were taken away and washed up. Coats were put on and they all headed out to the cars to get the car seats and put them in Sam's truck. The boys were strapped in and Tracy climbed in the back with them while Andy got into the front.

"you sure your OK with this" she asked

"I offered didn't I " he smiled at her and Tracy who was watching in the rear view mirror.

"OK then let's go " she smiled widely at him.

He started up the truck, drove out of the drive way and off towards the supermarket. he took them to one just outside of town, figured they would like a change of scenery and there was a little cafe round the corner just in case they shopped...like women. They all piled out and Tracy went for the Trolley while Leo waited with Sam, Andy and William.

" you gonna sit in here Will" Tracy asked as she went to pick him up and put him in the seat

"nooo I wanna walk" he said as he grabbed hold of Leo's hand

"ahhh I see, want to be a big boy today hey " she smiled at him

William looked at Andy who smiled back "okay but don't run off, stay holding our hands OK" she told him

" OK mummy" he said as he bounced up and down.

" you gonna be OK walking all around this place" Sam asked Andy

"I hope so she said " and smiled at him "if not I'll get her a wheel chair " said Tracy and laughed at Andy's face. "I'll be fine" she said and off they went.

She bought lots of fresh fruit and veg, pasta and rice, Fresh meat, joints and mince, sausages, Bacon, bread, lots of salad, potatoes, juice , Bottled water, milk, Nappies, Toiletries, toilet rolls, and a load of other stuff. By the time they made it to the checkout Andy was leaning on the trolley,

"you OK?" asked Tracy

"Yeah just a stitch " she replied

"Andy that's not good " said Sam "you need to rest, here take my keys and go sit in the truck me and Tracy will take care of this"

" what about the ..."she said before he cut her off with a stern look

" the kids will be fine with us" he Said and shooed her off to the car park.

She took the keys and went and sat in the truck, they were right she did need to rest, she hated feeling like this though she wanted to be back to normal. Sam paid for the shopping, bagged it all up and Tracy pushed the trolley to the truck while Sam had hold of both boys hands. They got to the truck, strapped the boys in their car seats and then loaded up the back of the truck with the food. Sam took back the trolley while Tracy climbed in and leaned forward to talk to Andy.

"feeling any better" she asked

"Yeah I just had a stitch but your right I need to take it easy if I have a P.a.r.t.y to plan for the week after next" she sighed "I feel fine its just my body that's all" she said

Sam came back and jumped in the truck, he took the keys off the console in the middle, put them in the ignition and started the truck up. They drove back home and Tracy told Andy to take the boys in while her and Sam unloaded the truck. Once everything was inside Andy took the coats and put them away, the boys went outside to play in the garden and Andy was banished from the kitchen to go rest on the sofa, feet up and her head resting on the arm she fell asleep. She awoke to gorgeous smells and laughter coming from outside. Tracy smiled when she saw her come into the kitchen, she had done dinner while Sam was playing with the boys in the garden.

"he's really good with kids and a great help" said Tracy " he's had a lot of practice with Oliver's kids so the boys are not a problem" she smiled watching Andy watching them play outside, it was early evening.

"sorry I fell asleep" she said

"nonsense you obviously needed it" Tracy told her " besides I'd rather have a whole Andy than a half Broken one" she smiled

"thanks Tracy I love you , you know that right" Andy said

"yeah I know and I love you too" and with that she announced outside that dinner was done

" Sam, Leo, William," Andy called Dinners ready.

All 3 of them came in washed their hands and sat down at the table. They ate dinner and the 2 boys changed into their pj's. They were then put to bed after an hour of chill time. Once the boys were in bed fast asleep Tracy got up and put on a film she had bought over, The Green Lantern.

"you're welcome to watch it with us" said Tracy

" Yeah I'm grateful for the help today Sam " said Andy

"not a problem Andy your welcome anytime" he said "I'll have to go after the film though" and so they sat , the 3 of them watching the film. When it had finished Sam got up and asked Andy if this morning would be about right for the nursery run. she said "yes" and thanked him once again before he got his coat on and left. The 2 girls went up to bed, changed, and Andy got into bed. Tracy got in after she'd sorted her uniform out, she had work the next day so she set her alarm. They chatted for a while and then fell asleep.

Both girls awoke to Tracy's alarm,

"good morning" they said to each other. Tracy got up and got in the shower while Andy went downstairs to put the coffee on. While she was in the kitchen there was a knock at the door. She opened it to see a freshly showered Sam in uniform.

"morning" he said and gave a big smile. Andy wondered was he was smiling at this time of the morning until she looked down and saw what she was wearing.

"oh um...excuse me " she said face going bright red..."I've just put the coffee on " and scurried out of the kitchen back upstairs. She stood in front of the mirror cursing herself for wearing the shorts and tank top that were covered in Barbie prints the day that Sam had come over. Tracy came out of the bathroom fully dressed and watched as Andy freaked out and was pulling clothes out her drawers and putting them on.

" whats wrong with you?" Tracy asked

" Barbie...Sam...Grrrr...Why" she growled out

Tracy laughed " you mean Sam's downstairs and you answered the door dressed like that" she laughed

"yes and it's not funny" she started to laugh once she saw the funny side of it

"Mr Sexy Sam saw Andy's booty in her Barbie set Aha...embarrassed much" she teased

"only enough that I went bright red...and not cause hes sexy either...caz he's... that's not how I see him" she said as she put on her top. They both headed back downstairs and found Sam leaning against the counter coffee mug in hand and 2 more mugs on the side.

"thought you might need it" he said as he passed Andy a mug and then the other to Tracy with "morning Trace" and a smile.

"I'm just gonna go and get the boys up" Andy said to Tracy as she put her mug down in the sink and moved past them both to go upstairs.

"you sure your OK with doing that" Tracy said

"Yeah I'm fine" she called back halfway up the stairs. The girls had gotten up earlier so they could get ready and then get the boys up and sort them out. She walked into Wills room to find them both awake and Leo reading a story to Will.

"good morning boys " she said to them and got a " good morning Andy " from Leo and a " mummy " from Will. She got them both dressed and walked them downstairs for breakfast. As they came down the stairs and saw Sam they both ran over to him" hi Sam" they both said "hey boys" he replied. Will and Leo sat at the kitchen table and Tracy gave them their breakfast.

"OK so I've called and sorted everything out with Jesse " Andy said " there should be no problems"

"Okie doke" said Sam causing the 2 boys to smile.

Tracy washed up the bowls after they'd finished and put there coats on. "OK so I'm off I'll see you later" she said and hugged and kissed Andy on the cheek , "see you for lunch, have a rest" she said to her.

"yes mum" she laughed as Tracy led Leo out the door, she had to drop him off at school before work.

"OK bud so you ready then" said Sam to Will "yeah" he replied and ran over to Kiss Andy and give her a hug. "OK let's go" Sam replied and walked out the door with Will. Andy watched him put Will in the car seat and then as he rounded the truck " we'll be fine" he said and " see you later" as he got in and pulled out of the drive. Andy shut the door suddenly wondering what to do. 15 mins later her phone beeped with a message from Tracy don't even think about it, REST was the message. Andy chuckled , man Tracy knew her too well, so she took her pills and went and sat on the sofa with the TV on. She got bored pretty quick with the TV and saw that Tracy had left the DVDs out so she went through and put one on.

Sam got to the nursery, parked up and got William out the car. He walked hand in hand with Will up to the front door and into the building.

"well hello gorgeous " she said as Will ran up to her ahead of Sam "hows my little munchkin today?"

She then looked up at Sam. " well you must be Sam " she said as she shook his hand. "wow, can tell your family" she smiled. " Andy has filled me in, lovely girl... glad she's got such a good support network, How is she?" she asked

"she's getting there, very independent " he smiled

"yes I know " smiled Jesse " well I'll see you later" she said and walked off to play with the kids.

Sam said "bye" to Will and walked out to his truck got in and drove to the station. What Jesse had said had shocked him. "can tell were related " he laughed "Yeah right wait till I tell the guys" he said to himself. He pulled up at the station, got out and headed for the locker rooms. When he got in he found Jerry and Oliver in there getting changed.

"hey guys" he said

"hey they both replied"

"so hows you this morning" Oliver asked him

"I'm good, dropped Will off at nursery for Andy as Tommy's on nights this week" he replied, "met Jesse the nursery owner and Wills teacher" he said "I had to laugh...she said she could tell were related, she's clearly got the wrong idea about family"

"well you are" said Oliver " we all are"

with that Jerry poked his head around the locker, "say what" he said

"Yeah i think she took the family thing the wrong way" he laughed

"I bet he has traits of all of us" Oliver added. "were around him often enough"

"Yeah poor kid" Jerry said quietly thinking

Once they were changed they headed to parade. Sam was partnered with Gail, Tracy was partnered with Jerry and Oliver had Nick today, Diaz was with Williams and Dov was on desk and Best was in booking.

"hope you don't mind I'm having lunch with McNally" Tracy said to Jerry.

"no not at all, do you mind if I come with you?" he asked

"hold on ill just ask her" she said and sent her a text.

she got a reply back 5 mins later ...awwww he doesn't want to leave you, Yeah its OK :)... was the reply she got."yep all sorted" she laughed. They drove around all morning with nothing coming in apart from a RTA that was minor and was quickly sorted out. Lunch time was just around the corner and so Tracy and Jerry went to pick up lunch for Andy and them before heading over to her house.

"Andy " Tracy called as her Jerry entered her house,

"hey in the kitchen " she called "just making coffee, want some " she asked.

"no we're good said Tracy as she put lunch on the kitchen table. "thanks" said Andy as she dug in.

"hey Jerry" she said with a smile and a look to Tracy. "so hows the morning been so far" she asked

"really quiet said Tracy just an RTA and that was it.

"what have you been doing" asked Tracy walking round to the bulging book that was perched on the side and flicking through it

"oh that " said Andy " just going through it and thinking maybe I need another one she laughed, it's a bit full I think."

"What is it" asked Jerry

" well it started off as my pregnancy diary and then turned into a photo album about William " she told him

"can I see" he asked her as Tracy bought the book over to the table

"Yeah sure " she said

Jerry flicked through the book stopping on some pages longer than others, hmm he thought to himself looking up at Andy and back to the book every now and again

"what" she asked

"nothing just thinking how much he looks like you" he smiled " do you mind me asking does he look anything like his dad? "

Andy went all quiet, " well " she said

"sorry its OK you don't have to say , I shouldn't pry" he said

"no its OK " said Andy "I knew people would eventually ask, I guess its only fair to ask, I've known you guys for over a year now and we're all family so... I went to a fertility clinic"

Jerry nearly choked on his food, " sorry" he said coughing "went down the wrong way, that'll teach me to talk and swallow at the same time" he smiled at her "what made you do that"

"well I was fed up, I always seem to choose the wrong guy, so ..." said Andy "i wanted kids and I wasn't getting any younger"

" well it looks like you chose right this time" he smiled "he's a great kid and he does you proud"

" thanks " said Andy " hes quite the little charmer, he probably gets it off his dad who ever he is" and smiled a really genuine smile

" wow" said Tracy "I salute you my girl" she said "major respect to you" and she hugged her. "I wont tell anyone either but I think you rock" she laughed. " glad you trust us enough to tell us"

They sat there a little longer and chatted about Andy's appointment at the doctors next week and what she had planned for Wills birthday. They both agreed to help and Jerry had just the present lined up for him. Then it was time to get back to Work, Tracy picked up her bag she'd left at Andy's and got Jerry to carry it to the cruiser, "got him wrapped around your finger already " laughed Andy and hugged her before saying thanks and waving goodbye to them both.

Jerry gave Tracy the Car keys and told her to drive, she could tell something was on his mind but didn't press. He was very quiet all afternoon and kept mumbling things over and over. The day went really slow after lunch and finally it was time to head back to the barn for paperwork. When they got back everyone was there apart from Sam and Gail and no matter how hard he tried Jerry couldn't focus on his paperwork, so he filled it away for tomorrow said goodnight to Tracy and headed to the locker rooms to change and went home without talking to anyone, he needed to get his head round whatever was bothering him.

Sam and Gail were booking in a prisoner they'd caught at an attempted robbery, Best was in booking and once he'd been booked in both Sam and Gail went to the locker rooms to get changed, their paperwork could wait till tomorrow, Sam had to go and pick up William from nursery, so he changed quickly, headed out to his truck, got in and drove to the nursery. When he got to the nursery he parked up and went inside to get William.

" hey" Jesse came over and welcomed him

"hows he been " said Sam

"great as always" she said " he's a bright kid" she smiled "William" she called "Sam's here"

The little boy bounded over to Sam and wrapped his arms around his legs "hello Sam " he said as he beamed up at him

"hey buddy " he said picking him up "ready to go see mummy" he asked

"yeah " he giggled " bye Jesse" he waved as they made they're way to the door " thanks, bye Jesse " Sam said as he opened the door and walked out to the truck. He opened the truck, strapped Will in and drove him home to Andy.

A knock at the door, got Andy's attention and she went and opened it.

"Hi " smiled Sam as he took in Andy, she was freshly showered and smelling like vanilla and butterscotch.

"hey " she smiled wide when she saw Sam's look, " hows he been" she asked him,

"good " he said and put William down, He ran straight for Andy's legs and hugged them tight " missed you mummy" he said then let go and ran off for his toys.

"Sorry, come in" she said as she moved to the side to allow Sam entry. " want a coffee " she offered, "I was just about to put some on" she said

"um yeah " he said as he sat down at the counter and watched her work slowly so as not to hurt herself.

"hows the wound " he asked

" great its healing up nicely" she said" its fully closed on the outside, think it is on the inside too" she laughed "feels a lot better now I've had a shower, I feel like my muscles have relaxed" she smiled at him.

"Yeah a hot shower will feel good" he said as he took the coffee mug from her.

"so what'd you do today ?" he asked as she sat down at the kitchen table, after peering in the direction of William playing with his toys.

" well Tracy came round today with Jerry and we chatted about William and his BIRTHDAY next week" she whispered

"oh right" he smiled " what are you getting him?"

"I have not an idea" she said and laughed " I have to get past the Docs appointment before I can actually set anything in stone but I'm hoping to have a party here in the back garden " she stood up and walked to the back door, Sam followed her and looked into the back Garden "well it's certainly big enough" he said

they both walked back to the kitchen table passing the fridge on the way, " did he draw them swings " Sam said as he lifted the picture and smiled

"Yeah" Andy said "I asked him to draw me a picture of his favorite thing and he drew that" she said "he loves it when I take him to the park with the swings and the slide"

" would it be OK if I buy him a swing set he said, maybe you could get a slide to go with them.

" she thought for a minute " that's a great idea she said "but you don't have to get him anything" she said

" he's family" he said, "same with Leo and Ollie's girls" he smiled

after she'd drank her coffee she got up to put dinner on," wanna stay for dinner?" she asked him

"umm sure" he said "thanks". He stayed sat at the kitchen table while she did the dinner and then went to sit in with William while they waited for it to cook. He sat and watched Andy interact with William and play with him. She was really a great mum, you could see how much love she had for the little boy, and how much he had for her. She got up and told William to tidy up his toys as she went to check on dinner.

"dinners ready " she called to William and Sam from the kitchen and they both came after washing they're hands

"could you lift him on to here" she pointed to the chair as she asked.

"Yeah sure " he said and picked up William and sat him at the table, he walked around to the drawer and got out the cutlery while Andy dished up and he set the table. She put the plates on the table and sat down telling them to dig in. While they were eating Sam asked " would you consider having a BBQ at this P.A.R.T.Y he spelled out. you know Oliver can do a mean one and I'm sure he'd love to be helpful he said as he put another mouthful of food into his mouth.

" Yeah that's a good idea, do you think he would mind?" she said..." i think he would be honored" said Sam. She looked at him and smiled a smile that reached her eyes, Sam smiled back wide with his dimples making an appearance. They finished eating and Sam got up, cleared away the plates and loaded the dishwasher much to Andy's protests, he told her she just cooked and so it was only fair he cleaned. they then retired to the living room where they sat and played with William before it was bath time, she took William upstairs got him changed and called "SAM"

he bounded up the stairs "yeah" he said a little worry in his voice, as he followed the her voice to the bathroom ," sorry "she blushed "can you help me lift him into the bath "

"Yeah of course" he said and picked him up under his arms and placed him in the bath, "I'll wait downstairs he said call me when he's ready to get out" and made his way downstairs. Andy played with William and the bubbles and Sam could hear the giggles from them both, it was a nice sound to hear. After a while Andy called for him to come and lift him out. William held his arms up to Sam so he could lift him out while Andy wrapped a towel round him and walked him to his bedroom where she dried him, got his pj's on and tucked him in bed with a story. Sam went and waited back downstairs till Andy came back down and thanked her for the food and bid her good night till the morning. Andy took some pills and went to bed.

Sam was at Andy's bright and early again the next morning, this time she was dressed and William was already up dressed and eating his breakfast when he got there.

"good morning" she greeted him as she opened the door. She knew the sound of his truck as he pulled up in her drive. "coffee" she asked as she walked back to the kitchen

"yeah thanks" he said as he sat down next to William " good morning buddy" he said as he ruffled his thick black hair. " hi Sam" he replied a big dimpled smile on his face. " thanks" Sam said as Andy handed him a mug of coffee.

"I'm thinking of ordering his S.L.I.D.E online today " Andy told Sam " since I can't go out it'll have to be home delivery.

"well if you wanted you could reserve it and I could pick it up and keep it at my house until the day " he offered " then he wouldn't see it.

"are you sure" she asked him

"Yeah it's totally fine plus I've got to get mine he said and might as well get them together.

"OK she said" let me give you the money, I also owe you for the shopping from the other day." she got up and went to her purse .She pulled out several notes and handed them to him , there that should be enough, she said.

"that's more than enough" he said,

"well you are picking it up for me ,so that's gas money as well" she smiled. "I'll send you the code for it once I've reserved it" she said

"OK" he replied. She got William down from the chair and put his coat on after he'd finished his breakfast. " see you later son" she said as she kissed and hugged him and watched him go out the door with Sam.

Sam dropped Will off At Nursery, Said good-bye and headed to work. He got to the station with plenty of time, he parked up, got out and locked the truck then headed inside to the locker rooms. Jerry and Oliver were already in there having a discussion

"Hes a charmer Ollie" he said as he pointed to himself "He's even got Dimples" said Jerry

"Jerry your not the only one with Dimples in this country" Said Oliver laughing "Sam has them too you know big ole deep ones, you only have one"

"hes got dark hair like..." Jerry started until Ollie cut him off "like half of the division here" he stated, "why are you so worried about it?" Ollie questioned

When they saw Sam walk in they went quiet and carried on getting changed.

"O..Kay " said Sam "so how are you two " he said as he opened his locker and started to get changed

" yeah good " they said

" I've gotta go pick up William's presents sometime this week" he told the two men

"cool what you getting him " asked Jerry trying to lighten the mood " I'm getting him a water works" he said " he'll love it, squirts water out of all places just attach a hose."

" well I'm getting him a wooden swing set , Andy's getting him the slide to match, you can attach them both together or have them separate" he says " oh and Oliver I sort of volunteered you to do the BBQ for it" he said smiling" I told her no one does a BBQ like you."

" yeah that's fine" he said "my pleasure.

"Lets hope the doctor clears her before then" said Jerry and finished getting changed. " see you in parade" he said and walked out.

"whats wrong with him" said Sam

" just things on his mind" Oliver said said don't worry about it.

" you ready" he asked Sam "yeah" he said as he closed his locker, put his name on his vest and went to parade.

Today Oliver Was on his own and Jerry was paired up with Sam which was really good as it meant for lunch they would go and get the presents once Andy had text Sam the code. Tracy was helping the D's, Chris and Noelle were together and Frank was paired with Gail, Dov was on booking and Nick on front desk. Sam received Andy's text with the code before lunch so he and Jerry knew what they were doing in their lunch hour, they would grab Sam's truck and pick them up.

Tracy had been stuck with the D's all morning and couldn't get to her lunch date with Andy, she knew Oliver was on his own and that Sam and Jerry were busy so she called him and asked if he minded popping in with lunch at Andy's. Tomorrow was Chris, Dov, Gail and Nicks turn for the lunch Date with Andy, they had the late shift and so would spend longer than lunch with her.

Oliver had been wondering about why Jerry had said what he did and although he'd laughed it off there was a little something that Ollie felt there and he didn't know what it was so when Tracy had called he'd agreed to lunch. At lunch he went to subway, he bought them both a sandwich and headed over to hers. As he stood and knocked he could hear loud music and could hear Andy singing along, he smiled and knocked louder, eventually she came to the door after turning down the music and smiled apologetically at Oliver when she opened the door and saw him carrying lunch.

"sorry come in Oliver " she giggled

"how are you" she asked him.

"I'm OK " he said and straight away she could tell something was on his mind

"I've missed you she told him, " cant wait to get back to work.

"missed you too Andy" He smiled and handed over her sandwich before he sat on the sofa and tucked into his. "Sam tells me he volunteered me for the BBQ" he said in-between mouthfuls,

" Yeah is that alright" she asked.

"Yeah its fine" he said "so when is it exactly?" they sat and chatted details, by the end of their chat he was more his normal happy self although Andy knew that there was something lurking, she didn't press it he would talk when he was ready." this is all based on the Doctor passing me beginning of next week" she said "I feel fine now, I haven't been over doing it and its driving me mad, I'm really grateful for you all having lunch dates with me" she smiled "it really helps. I'm just wondering if I will still get cut loose with the others due to the time off" she said.

"Yeah you should do " Oliver said "your still a good cop despite what happened" he said "just wait and see when you get back" he assured her. So with the date set for Saturday of next week for the party he got up hugged her and left to go back to work. She put the music back on and continued to clean up.

The rest of the week flowed by quickly. Sam picking up and dropping off Will. Lunch dates with the rookies and Tracy, and her dad calling her to make sure she was OK, he'd then tell her about his D's courses etc, all was going well. Sam and Jerry had picked up Will's presents and they were stored at Sam's as arranged. Andy was feeling a lot stronger by the weekend and hadn't had to have pills at all by the Sunday; whilst shopping with Tracy on Saturday she'd only had to have a couple, just in case...they had gotten the usual food items plus extra for the BBQ and party. William had been eying the things but he was mostly happy walking around hand in hand with Leo.
