Chapter 10
(Andy is 32 weeks along by now)
Andy´s POV:
This couldn't be happening. Sam was in the hospital and they wouldn't tell her anything. The father of her beautiful baby boy. A knock on the door woke her up. She drowsily went to answer it; Oliver Shaw stood there, his face full of worry.
"Hey" I said "where you looking for Sam? He´s not back from his shift"
Oliver ran his fingers rough his face and gave me a sympathetic smile. Then I knew something was wrong. I let him in and we sat on the couch, Oliver took my hand.
"You know I care about you right?" He said looking deeply into my eyes, heart pounding, I felt the baby move restlessly inside of me, as if he knew something wasn't right but maybe I was in denial because as a cop, you learn to read facial expressions and I couldn't make anything out of Oliver's face "And Sam, well he's my brother" I nodded.
"What's wrong? ¨I asked, still calm. He smiled at me and then spoke. He spoke in English, but I could swear he was speaking in some strange language because the only word I could understand was Hospital. I could feel my whole body shaking. I never pictured myself as a mother, I had been afraid of becoming one when I was with Luke, I thought I would run away like my mother had done, but this was Sam's, the person I trusted the most and he was there in the hospital because of the stupid job that we had chosen and I wasn't there to back him up. We were partners and I had turned my back on him. Finally I collapsed and tears overwhelmed me. I couldn't be losing him not now. Then it happened. My water had just broken.
"Calm down, he don't want to hurry things up" Oliver whispered taking my hand "Just breathe, you got to breath McNally" Then we were in the car. Thankfully he used his resources to have Traci and Diaz escorting us.
"Nash!" Oliver called my best friend frantically "Get in here, hold her hand!" And there she was. By my side as always, holding me trough "Just make sure she doesn't push"
"This can't be happening right now" I said breathless from the pain "I need him Trace, he needs to be here, I can't do this, it's too soon!" I gasped "the nursery isn't even done yet!"
"Don't worry about that now" Traci said brushing my hair with her free hand "there will be time for that later"
"Nash, how are we doing?" Oliver asked looking at me. My face must have been horrible because he turned right back "we are almost there" The next thing I knew I was being rolled into a room. Oliver, Traci and Chris behind me
"I can't do this!" I screamed "I need to see Sam. I need to see him" Traci and Oliver glanced at Chris who hurried away to ask about Sam. Then I was put in a room
"Doc, you've got to do something, she's just found out her baby's daddy is here at the hospital fighting for his life" I heard Traci whisper. "Is there any way you can stop labor?"
"I would have to make sure, she's not far dilated" the doctor smiled at me reassuringly "but I'll do what I can" then I knew that he was sure I would be having the baby on the same night that somewhere in those cold rooms Sam would be almost dying. I closed my eyes and whispered "There's no going back"
End of POV.
"Excuse me?" Chris hurried to the hospital's lobby "my name is officer Diaz and I'm looking for a patient they just brought in a while ago" The nurse studied him and then looked twice at his badge to make sure he wasn't kidding "Name's Swarek"
"I am sorry, I'm not allowed to give that kind of information, no matter who you are unless you are a family member" the lady said politely
"Listen, you wouldn't believe me if I told you I was his brother, but my friend is having his baby tonight, I mean, like right now and I need to know how he is!" he burst out "Please I wouldn't be insisting if it wasn't important"
"Fine, let's see… Swarek… Swarek" Chris's eyes wondered in desperation "Sam Swarek. Gunshot. Just got out of surgery"
"Great!" Chris said relived "Wait, did you say gunshot?" The nurse nodded slowly "Is he okay?"
"I don't know. He's in recovery right now" she informed him sadly "but that's all it says"
"Okay" He sighed "thank you, you are so great, thank you" and with that he ran.
There you have it! Do you think Sam will be okay? And what about Andy and the baby? Do you think they have chosen the name already? Review! Lots of love!
