Disclaimer: Still don't own Rookie Blue (or Season 2 would have already started airing and they would be filming Season 3).

A.N. I normally don't respond publicly to reviews but I felt that I needed to for this one. First of all, Traci started the rumor. Andy knew that but she didn't realize that Traci actually put money in the pool and I'm chalking her reaction up to PMS. Second - SMchick, I was not blaming you specifically. It seems that every fiction that I have read over the past few days from this board and others has had major cliffhangers. I was just frustrated but I did not mean to point fingers at anyone in particular.

Enjoy!

Now where was I...


Andy ran out of the locker room, tears streaming down her face. She didn't know why she was crying, she had known about the bet, just not the full extent, but it made the situation so much better.

Sam saw Andy run out of the locker room and immediately noticed the tears cascading down her cheeks. "Andy" he called out.

Andy ran to him. He opened her arms and she began sobbing into his chest. Sam tried to quiet her, to no avail. This (the tears) was not part of the plan. Well, man plans... Finally, he looked around and saw Traci standing there. "Nash, what happened?"

Traci swallowed nervously and glanced at Noelle. Sam saw the exchange. "Noelle?"

Noelle Williams sighed. "There was a bet that Andy was pregnant. Today's events have revealed that she is not."

Andy had attracted attention when she ran out of the locker room crying. Now that the news was out, people began whispering to each other. It dawned on Sam that Oliver hid the full extent of the bet. He wasn't sure why but he knew his friend had his back and probably thought it was in Sam and Andy's best interest not to inform them. He also suspected the Zoe convinced Oliver of this because something this big, Oliver would not have been able to keep to himself.

Noelle suddenly noticed Oliver. "It looks like you were right. And you weren't even allowed to bet. Technically, all the money should go to you."

Oliver smirked. "No worries. We'll split the money 2/3, 1/3. Sam and Andy were the ones targeted in this; they should get 2/3." He would receive a nice amount of money anyway and he knew Sam had some ideas about a surprise honeymoon for Andy... the money would definitely help.

By this time, they had gathered a large audience, large enough to catch the attention of their Staff Sergeant. Frank came out of his office. "What's going on?" He looked around. "Swarek, McNally…" he saw Noelle slightly nod her head "Williams, into my office."

Noelle walked into the office as everyone else started to make their way into the Parade Room. Sam pulled Andy aside and cupped her face in his hands. "You okay?"

Andy nodded and wiped her tears. "It is just that the bet was really big." Her expression told Sam that it was bigger than they thought.

Sam nodded to let her know that he had figured that out as well and it would all be okay before leading her into Frank's office. Once they were in Frank's office, Noelle explained bluntly. "Turns out the bet about Andy wasn't true. She's not pregnant."

Frank sighed. "Thank you Noelle. Start Parade, I'll be there in a minute."

Frank waited until she exited before motioning for Sam and Andy to sit. "I warned her."

Sam looked up, startled. "What?"

"When she told me about the bet, I told her it wasn't true. Think of it Sammy. Oliver bet that she wasn't, even though they didn't let him place it. That was the first sign.

"The second sign was the fact that you didn't tell me. I know you Sam; you are going to want to protect Andy."

Sam nodded. In a way Frank was right. Sam would tell Frank earlier than most because he would not want Andy assigned to certain places that were considered rougher.

Frank looked at Andy. She was still visibly upset. "Listen, both of you are taking a day of paid leave. I don't want you here unless I personally call you back in. Go now, while everyone else is in Parade. Oliver will drop off the money later."

Sam stood and held a hand out to Andy. "Tell Oliver to bring it tonight. We are going out to dinner with Oliver and Zoe."

"Will do Sam."

Sam led Andy out of the room. Everything was falling into place and this day would (hopefully) be one that he and Andy would tell their children about in years to come.


The two of them spent a great day together. At the end of the day, about an hour before they were "supposed" to meet Zoe and Oliver, Andy asked Sam if they should think about heading home to change.

Sam responded by pulling her close. "I was thinking about making one stop first." He kissed her forehead and then led her to the truck.

Six minutes later Sam pulled up to a spot on the beach. It was the same place that the two of them had gone looking for bullets to prove her father's innocence; the same place they had gone to just relax away from everyone else.

Sam led her to a bench and then crouched down in front of her. With the sun setting on the water behind him, Sam reached for her hand. "Andy McNally, I love you. Today you wanted everything to be over with this bet, but how about a new beginning? Will you marry me?" He pulled out a simple diamond ring.

Andy looked at him, tears in her eyes. "You planned this" she accused.

Sam nodded. "Zoe helped me plan this out when the bet first started. I told her when I spoke to her earlier that I was telling you an hour earlier than we were actually supposed to meet. She just wants details but you still have not answered my question." He removed his hand from hers and brushed away a strand of hair from her forehead. "Andy, sweetheart, will you marry me?"

Andy wrapped her arms around his neck. "My heart will always be yours." With that, she kissed him soundly.


A.N. Thus ends another story - but for those of you that requested it - there will be an epilogue. I have in mind how it is going to end but I could see it being very long so the epilogue might be two chapters.

Reviews make my day so let me know what you think!
