Five months of hard work had finally come to an end, he had ached for this moment for, well since the first day back under. While being under he had missed simple parts of his life like going to the penny for a drink, sleeping in a decent bed and just have a normal job to go to, well as normal as patrolling could be. The worst thing with working UC was the important things of his life, his mother and sister. And her. He sighed when he thought about her. If he could turn back time he would do it in a heartbeat. He regretted leaving her. He thought back to the last time he saw her. Three months ago.

She was standing at the bar, nipping to beer. They eyes on every man in the bar was on her, including his, she was wearing high heels, a black mine dress that hugged her curves in all the right places, and her hair loose around her shoulders. What really caught his eyes where her eyes, she looked sad, haunted even.

He wondered why she was there, he felt worried, this bar was at a bad place for her to be, and especially alone. He took a deep breath and stood up, and when he was about to walk towards her, her face lit up, the huge smile he loved so much. First he imagined she had seen him, but when a tall brown-haired man embraced her, he realized he was the one causing her to smile. Quickly he took his seat again, watching them form the other side of the bar.

He felt his heart stop when she pulled the man down for a kiss and the man's arms curling around her and pulling her close. He closed his eyes and let out a heavy breath. Of course she would move on, a beautiful woman like her wasn't destined to be alone. A part of him hoped she would wait for him, he knew it was selfish and way too much to ask considering what his last words to her were.

He drew his hands over his face and chuckled at himself, had he only known she wasn't back with Callaghan, if maybe he could just hear her out that night things would be differently. He was never going to forgive himself, that night had been the biggest mistake he ever had done.

He pulled himself together, knowing it was just a couple of hours and he could return to his life, what`s left of it anyway. The next couple of hours his focus was on Jamie Brennan, and getting him behind bars.

Andy stood in her bathroom and looked at her reflection in the mirror, she grimaced at herself. She looked tired, she felt tired and she was tired. She washed her face with water, trying to make herself wake up, and got ready for the day.

The smell of coffee found her nostrils and she hurried to get out to the kitchen.

"Morning." She walked over and kissed his cheek before she sat down starting on her breakfast, she got a warm smile in return. The mornings the last 3 months had been her favorite part of the days, starting her days with him over breakfast, the next favorite thing was coming home to him. They were there for each other. A sad smile crept over her lips as her thoughts wandered to Sam, she would never forget the last time she saw him only two months ago.

"McNally and Peck, you are with Detective Boyd." Andy sighed and let her head fall a bit when she heard who she was assigned to for the day, and with Gail. Like her days wasn't bad enough.

They sat in the surveillance van, that was stupidly hot and the space wasn't big enough. But the worst thing about it was seeing him….with a woman. She was certain that Boyd did this on purpose on her, he knew how she felt about Sam and he definitely knew how she would react to this. Gail touched her knee briefly and gave her a small smile. Over the past few months they had become friends, and she would spend many nights with her and Traci.

She had to close her eyes as they passed the van, she couldn't bear seeing him with his arm around another woman's waist, which of course had to be a blonde. They disappeared into the building, which Boyd had explained was his cover apartment, an apartment with cameras and wires.

She saw him take her jacket and hang it on a chair, he had a grin on his face, with dimples and all. And just when she thought nothing could get worse the cameras were shut off. She bit down her lip and forced the tears back.

"Way to go, Sammy boy." Boyd`s stupid cheer didn't go unnoticed by her, and all she found strength to do was glare at him.

She felt tears in her eyes, but was able to blink them away furiously. She ate the rest of her breakfast in silence, and when she was ready for work he kissed her cheek.

"Have a good day."

That made her smile all the way to the station.

"Hey you, ready for tonight?" She found Traci`s warm voice when she approached the locker rooms.

"I guess." She shrugged her shoulders and gave her friend a shy smile.

"Girl, it's time. Here, take this." She reached her a lip gloss and stared at her friend curiously.

"So your lips are kissable." She rolled her eyes at Traci, but put the lip gloss in her locker anyway. They walked together into parade and sat with their friends joking and laughing, the laughing stopped the minute Best walked in.

"Allright coppers, today is the night we get our boy home!" He stole a glance at Andy while he said `our boy home`, even if that made her heart speed faster she did a remarkable good job at not showing it. Even if his last words to her still hurt like hell, she wanted him home, she wanted him to be safe.

Best gave out the information they needed on the takedown, and everyone was aching to get going to the locations and wait.

"Serve, protect and get Sammy home safe." All the coppers in parade cheered and clapped their hands at his dismissal.

Her heart skipped a beat when she saw him walk out of the warehouse with Oliver and Jerry, he looked the same, he had a genuine smile on his face. Boyd walked behind them with Jamie Brennan in cuffs, Boyd with a huge grin on his face.

"Nice job Sammy!" Boyd gave his shoulder a pat when he walked pass him, and put the suspect in a cruiser.

She felt Traci`s hand on here shoulder, giving it a friendly squeeze, she couldn't take her eyes of him, she wanted to run and hug him, but she found the strength she needed to restrain herself. His smile faded when they locked eyes, only for a second, she blinked and looked down nervously. She needed to get out of there, she turned on her heel and quickly got in the cruiser with Traci, driving away, seeing him in the rear view mirror.

He stood leaning on his truck, freshly showered, and waiting for Oliver. He wondered if she too would come to the penny tonight, maybe he would find some courage to talk to her. A small smile formed when he thought a couple of hours back, she looked just as gorgeous as he remembered, but the smile faded when the thoughts of her turning and leave before he could say anything to her.

He didn't really know what to say though, but at least a few words would be nice. But then again he couldn't blame her. The sound of the door opening got his attention, and when she came walking out his mouth fell open, she was rocking some skinny jeans and a tight white t-shirt with her hair around her shoulders. He loved her hair, especially when it fell lose around her shoulders.

She slowed her pace when she saw him, she looked nervously around the parking lot and for a change there was no one there. She took a deep breath and walked towards him, stopping a few meters away from him. He pushed himself of the truck and shoved his hands in his pockets.

"Hi." Her voice didn't sound anything like her own, she tried to cover it up with a little smile that didn't really reach her eyes.

"Hey." He was nervous, all he wanted to do was talk to her, he thought about what to say when he saw her shifting uncomfortable under his gaze.

"How are you?" That was the only thing that made sense to him at this point.

"I`m fine….. You?" He wanted to laugh at her famous words, but figured it wouldn't help the situation.

"Good….. I`ve missed you." There he said it, and he couldn't take it back, his eyes fell to the pavement, he didn't dare to look at her.

"I..uh…I`m glad you`re safe." She rolled her eyes at herself for giving such a stupid reply, of course she had missed him too. He gave her a smile, and saw the other coppers coming out to the lot.

"You going to the penny?"

"Ye…"

"Hey, ready?" A man came from behind and touched her shoulder, Sam furrowed his eyebrows, he thought he had seen him somewhere.

"Yeah, just waiting for you." She smiled, and looked over at Sam, giving him a small smile and followed the man to a black sedan.

Sam stood there feeling stupid when Oliver finally came out from the barn. They hopped in the truck and drove in the direction of the penny.

It felt good to sit at his usual spot in the penny again, felt even better to be surrounded by good friends and even better liquor. What didn't feel good was Andy`s missing spot with the rookie table, instead she sat at the bar with the man she left the station with. Sam still couldn't place the guy.

A few hours later and a lot more alcohol in his blood he took the courage to ask Oliver.

"Who`s the guy?" He didn't take his eyes away from them at the bar, Oliver looked in his direction and snorted.

"That`s the new you."

Sam knew the words that escaped his friends lips wasn't meant the way they sounded, but the way they sounded got under his skin, and that's when he realized where he had seen the guy. The same guy she had been kissing at that bar three months ago.

The subject in front of him was rising to their feet's and was headed towards the door. He saw her wave to the other rookies, and when her eyes met his she gave him a smile. Sam was too lost to even notice that the smile didn't reach her eyes.

All he could think of was they leaving…. Together.

So my imagination is running wild. But anyway, hope you like it. :)
