Chapter 11:
The events of the year before seemed only a nightmare you couldn't wake up from. These days it was all about what was ahead and not what had happened. It was a day after Milo's 8th birthday. Andy couldn't believe how fast he had grown; his dark black hair had become a bit lighter, but he still seemed a mini version of his father.
In all that was possible he was a pretty normal kid. He enjoyed going to school and spending time with his friends. He liked playing catch with Sam and riding a bike with his brother. He liked walking his dog around the neighborhood and pushing his little sister on the swing. He liked helping his mother with the baby as much as it was possible. He simply loved being who he was.
Andy and Sam had taken the day off. After all, it was Saturday. They had decided not to tell anyone where they were going. They decided for the park.
"Me now daddy!" 2 ½ year old AJ giggled excitedly as she watched his brother being lifted up in the air. The youngest with deep blue eyes and dirty brown hair. The guys had made fun of the fact that Eliot didn't have the same dark eyes that the kids had inherited. Oliver had even told Jerry that he believed Eliot not to be Sam's son, but Luke's of course they had never pointed it out loud, they still considered they had a long life ahead of them. Later they had learned that Andy's grandfather had had blue eyes, imagine their embarrassment.
"Go easy on him Charlie!" Andy told her son when he got a hold of Sam's leg. "He's holding the baby; remember we have to be careful with him, right?"
"Yes mommy" Charlie said looking at his mother, who rested on a blanket. Milo was near by, playing with Bass, she could hear the distant laugh of delight when the dog would lick his face.
"Hey, don't worry!" Sam said picking AJ and Eliot up "I've got them" He settled next to his wife.
"I know you do" Andy said taking the baby from him. Charlie kneeled next to his mother waiting for his turn, pouting "But who's got you?"
"I got him mommy!" Milo said panting and collapsing next to Charlie on the blanket. Bass waved his tail excitedly, expecting a bit more action. Sam just stayed there holding his baby girl. He grinned at his son.
"You do, do you?" Milo stood up defiantly "Let's see what you can do" The little boy accepted the challenge and tried to tackle his father who was now back on his feet. Charlie joined the action, finally making Sam stumble backwards, still holding AJ who was watching her brother's attempts"Okay, okay, I give up, I give up!" Andy couldn't help but smile. She couldn't believe how much better her life was now. She had a beautiful family. Four beautiful children that didn't ceased to amaze her every day, and even though she was no longer paired up with Sam, for obvious reasons, she still got to have him every night.
"Okay, now what about if we do something all us can play huh?" Charlie rolled his eyes. Was his mother actually expecting Eliot to play with them?
"Mom is right" Sam said sitting up and patting Bass on the back "What about some pictures?"
"Can I take one?" Milo asked happily. Sam nodded. The boy went to take the camera out of Eliot's diaper bag. He got in position as his parents took place. Charlie stood behind both his parents. Andy held Eliot on her lap, while AJ sat with Sam.
The next picture had only the boys, even Bass had joined in. Sam stood, his back against a tree, holding baby Eliot as Milo and Charlie sat by his feet. Bass rested his head on Charlie's leg. Tongue out.
Milo and Sam where alone in the next picture. Back to back simulating a gun with their fingers. Her rangers' Andy thought as she took the picture, nothing better than this. All was going to be okay.
It was now Andy's time to pose with her daughter. Andy totted her causing her to smile just when Sam was about to take the picture. It was all perfect.
They spent the rest of the day enjoying themselves until it was time to go home. Sam carried Charlie to bed, then AJ and finally Milo. They tucked baby Eliot to bed, then Sam went to take Bass out, when he returned, his bed had been invaded. Milo rested his head on Andy's lap. Charlie by her feet, while AJ was alone on Sam's side. He glanced to the crib next to the bed where Eliot slept soundly. He tried his best to be quiet and gentle as he moved AJ a bit in order to get into bed. He placed her back, between him and Andy. She reached for his hand.
"I never thought we would end up like this" Andy whispered. Sam rested his head on his hand "I mean look at us, we look like a cheesy soap opera couple" Sam chuckled.
"Well, let's just say we are close to being one. I mean we've had our moments. You got to admit it McNally, our lives haven't been all white fences and dirty diapers"
"Sam" She said leaning closer "Shut up"
"Oh yeah?" He said defensively "or what? What are you going to do?"
"This" She kissed him passionately "There's no going back Sam Swarek. You are in this for the long shot"
"I know" He smiled into her lips "and I wouldn't change a single thing about it"
"I love you" She said breaking the kiss, but she didn't need to hear from his lips, his eyes full of love for her told her all she needed to know.
The end.
