Sam pulled into their driveway and cut off the engine he looked over and took in the sight in front of him Andy had fallen asleep on the way home he wasn't surprised at all she had a rough few days he got out, grabbed the keys and walked to her side of the truck opened the door carefully lifted her out trying not to wake her in the process, shutting the door with his elbow he walked into the house not bothering with their gear he would get it in the morning

He walked up the stairs to their bedroom laying her down on their bed he put her in her TPS shorts and his Academy t-shirt she began to stir

"Babe"

"Go back to sleep McNally"

She salutes him and rolls over snuggling further into his shirt

He gets ready for bed and crawls in next to her wrapping his arms protectively around her

"You're my hero you know"

"I'm not stopping anytime soon so don't even try telling me to"

"I wouldn't dream of it"

"Good cause it's not happenin ever"

"Hahahahaha I love you"

"Right back at ya baby"

They fell asleep in each other's arms Andy was content knowing her hero wouldn't let anything happen to her

The next day

Andy woke up refreshed and ready to catch some bad guys she reached over to Sam's side of the bed but he was gone in his place laid a note a smile spread across her face

Downstairs didn't want to wake you turned the alarm off so you could sleep come down when you're ready

Xoxo

God she loved him

After showering and getting dressed she walked downstairs and came up behind Sam and wrapped his arms around his waist she was wearing one of his other academy t-shirts with SWAREK written on the back in white letters and skinny jeans

"Hey you"

"Hey"

He turns around and kisses her

"How did you sleep?"

"Good but I was cold because someone wasn't there to keep me warm"

"Sorry I'll make it up to you later"

He nudges her nose

"You better"

"Lovin the shirt choice babe"

"Oh really"

"Oh yeah"

Andy put coffee in their travel mugs she was going to put it with their gear but she couldn't find it Sam told her it was in the hallway

"Ready"

"Yup"

"Let's go"

At Parade

Assignments were given Andy was paired with Chris

"Be safe"

"Love you"

"Love you too"

She and Chris had their usual Banter when the radio cracked to life

"1509 are you 10-8 domestic at 1720 booker 11 year called 911 he's still in the house

"1509 we're on it"

"Copy that be advised CPS has already been notified and Det Swarek is on his way"

When they arrived on scene the parents were fighting outside the 11 year old boy was nowhere in sight she and Chris pulled them apart and asked where the kids were not soon after a boy come out holding a baby

"Leave"

"We can't do that"

"Give me the baby honey"

The boy handed the baby to his mother and walked back inside a few seconds later he walked back out with a gun in his hand pointed at Chris and Andy

"1519 officers need assistance"

Sam was the first one there

"Buddy I need you to put the gun down"

"Leave us alone"

"They can't do that until you put the gun down baby"

He backed into the house and slammed the door Sam told Chris and the new rookie Nick to keep their gums pointed at the door in case of any movement while he checked on Andy and called the station to get a background check on the family

"You ok"

"I just pointed my gun at an 11 year old boy's head"

"He had one pointed at you"

She looked down at the ground

"Look at me"

She still wouldn't look at him so he hooked his finger under her chin to make her look at him

"Don't overthink it you were doing your job"

At that moment CPS pulled up

"Miss I need you to stay behind the tape please"

"I'm with CPS I need to get in there"

"Right now there is a boy in the house with a gun"

"OMG where is Dana?"

"In the car why don't you sit in there with her?"

Sam led her to the car and was about to put her in the women looked up and noticed Andy

"Andy?" ...
