A/N: I'm sorry this took soooo long to get up. I've had major writers block and wrote this chapter 4 times. I'm just not sure where I want to go with this story, so I'll take suggestions from you guys as to where you want to see this go!
As always thanks for the reviews! I love reading them, they really motivate me to write more.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Rookie Blue.
Chapter Eleven
Sam and Andy walked to Frank's office and knocked on the door, Frank looked up from his desk and waved them in.
"Take a seat please" Frank said as he put his phone down and crossing his hands on the table.
"What I walked into out there was completely inappropriate. This is a Police Station not a fight club. I do not appreciate fights breaking out and punches being thrown between a Detective and a Senior Officer." Frank started with a calm voice as he looked between Sam and Andy.
"I have turned a blind eye for your relationship while rules were clearly broken, and undercover operations compromised. But this is your last warning. I don't want to have to separate you as partners because you are the best set of partners I have. You work well together and know each others moves, but I can't have fights breaking out in my division because of relationships, this is your first and final warning from me, if I have any more problems because of your relationship I will assign you new partners or depending on the situation I will transfer one of you or worse. Do I make myself clear?" Frank said his voice rising with demand.
"Yes Sir." Sam and Andy both said in unison.
"Good. Now I want you two to go on speed traps with Officer Shaw and Officer Peck." Frank said turning to his computer as Sam and Andy stood up and walked out of his office.
They rode out to where they were setting up the speed trap in complete silence. They got to the spot and parked the squad, Sam jumped out to grab the equipment, he was setting it up when the radio cracked to life.
"This is 1509 we're all set up down here" Oliver said through the radio.
"10-4" Andy replied as she handed Sam a vest.
After standing for an hour they had already pulled over 20 speeding cars and had one DUI. Sam stepped away from the speed gun and looked at Andy who was standing in silence behind him watching over his shoulder ready to radio the car, color and speed to Oliver and Gail.
"You're sure quite today" Sam said turning to her.
"Just don't have much to say." Andy said looking down the road to see Oliver step out and pull over the car she had just radioed.
"Why's that McNally? You're usually talking my ear off" Sam said offering a small smile.
"Just trying to focus on the job." She said as she took the speed gun from Sam and held it up. Sam looked down and sighed, he took his position behind Andy getting ready to radio cars to Oliver.
They got back to the station and Andy got out before the car was even in park, quickly grabbing the speed gun and stand before closing the door and heading inside without a word. Sam sat in the drivers seat gripping the steering wheel. He didn't know what was going on with Andy but all he knew was that when she was silent it was never good.
He got out of the squad and went to hand they keys in before heading to change into his street clothes.
Andy was standing in the station shower letting the warm water pour over her as she thought about what Frank said earlier in the day. She heard the locker room door open and footsteps to the shower beside her. She listened as the shower turned on and the person beside her sighing as the room filled with even more steam. Andy turned off her shower and grabbed her towel, she dried herself off before changing into her jeans and long sleeve shirt. She quickly braided her hair and grabbed her bag throwing it over her shoulder. She pushed open the station doors to the parking lot to see Sam waiting leaning on his truck with his arms crossed.
"You didn't have to wait" Andy said as she stood in front of him.
"When do I ever leave you here?" Sam said with a confused look on his face. Andy shrugged her shoulders and looked down, kicking some rocks.
"I think I'm just gonna walk" Andy said as she took a step back from Sam and turned toward the street.
"Wait -" Sam said as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to him. "Did I do something to upset you?" Sam said with concern written all over his face.
"God No Sam, it's not you." Andy said as she stuffed her hands in her pocket.
"Then what's wrong?" He asked quietly.
"I just don't think I can do this anymore." Andy said refusing to look at him.
"What do you mean?" Sam said with slight panic in his voice. Andy was still looking at the ground and was silent for a minute. "Andy, look at me. Please" He begged.
Andy looked up and took a deep breath. "I keep getting us in trouble Sam. Every time we're sitting in Frank's office it's my damn fault. I shouldn't have come to see you undercover, the fight with Luke, that was because of me. You love this job and I don't think I could live with you getting in more trouble or even fired and knowing it was my fault." Andy said sadly.
"Then we work through it Andy. We work through everything. Nothing is your fault, I love being a cop but if I had to give it up to be with you then I would because I love you." Sam said, Andy could hear the hurt and alarm in his voice, which only broke her heart more.
"I'm just going to walk" Andy said as she pulled her bag higher up her shoulder and started walking away. Sam waited till she was around the corner before he turned and punched the passenger side of his truck. He shook his stinging hand and rounded the truck to the drivers side, opening the door and then slamming it closed. He started hitting the steering wheel before resting his head against it taking a couple deep calming breathes.
Andy walked to the familiar apartment complex. She pulled out her keys and unlocked the door walking up to the fourth floor. She knocked on the door a couple times waiting for an answer. After a couple minutes she turned to walk away when the door opened.
"Andy?" the familiar warming voice said. Andy turned toward the door again and smiled a soft smile. "What a surprise! I'm so happy you're here! I feel like I haven't seen you in months!"
"Dad" Andy said as she hugged him, he wrapped her arms around him like a little kid as she silently sobbed into his shirt.
"Andy, sweetie!" Tommy said as he rubbed her back. "Come inside, sit down." Tommy instructed as he closed the door behind her.
Andy looked around the apartment to see it was sparkly clean. "Six months next week" Tommy smiled as he showed her his calender.
"That's great dad" Andy smiled as she wiped at her wet cheeks.
"And I'm going to meetings twice a week, I even met someone." Tommy smiled as he grabbed some juice and two cups from the fridge. "Her name is Ann, she's a doll. I'd love for you to meet her soon." Tommy said taking a sip of his drink before sitting across from Andy at the table.
"I'd love too." Andy said forcing a smile.
"Okay, now tell me whats on your mind" Tommy said sitting back in his chair.
"It's Sam." Andy said as she brought her legs up on the chair resting her chin on her knees. "A couple months ago he went undercover without telling me, I ran into him at a bar while I was doing a undercover training operation. We keep seeing each other for a couple days, then he went missing. We found him. But I had to tell the truth. So we both got suspended and had to meet with the superintendent. She gave us our first and last warning saying that bigger punishments would be met if we were there again. Then today Luke came into the division to help with a case and he started talking bad to me and calling me names, then he sucker punched Sam and him and Sam started fighting and Frank said that if our relationship kept causing problems that he would give us new partners or transfer one of us to a new division or worse. Sam has wanted to be a cop for a long time, and he's one of the few good cops. I couldn't live with myself if he got fired or transferred to another division because of me." Andy said wiping a tear from her eye.
"What does Sam think of this?" Tommy said.
"He said he doesn't care but I don't know what he'd do if he couldn't be a cop. He says it doesn't matter cause he'd have me. I didn't know what to say so I told him I was walking and I left. Next thing I knew I was here." Andy said as she rested her hands on her legs.
"Seems like you got a real keeper Andy, and now your scared because its so real and you want to run." Tommy said looking her in the eye. "Don't run Sweetheart, trust me." Tommy said with a sad smile.
"I'm scared" Andy whispered.
"Of what?" Tommy said leaning forward and resting his elbows on the table.
"The way I feel. I've never felt this way about anyone before and it scares me, because if he left I don't know how I would move on." Andy said
"Honey, how do you think he feels? You left him in a parking lot. I think you need to go and talk to him, Don't run. If I know Sam Swarek, and I think I do, he'll always be waiting." Tommy said smiling as he got up from the table. "Now go home and talk about it. Convince him that you aren't going to run. Relationships aren't easy sweetheart, you can't keep things bottled up. Now go" Tommy said giving Andy a gentle push out the door. "I'd like to have dinner with you and Sam soon in your fancy new house. Let Ann meet you two as well" Tommy smiled as Andy nodded, speed walking down the stairs.
There we have it ladies and gentlemen. Like I said I wrote this four times before settling with this one. Like it? Hate it? Suggestions? I appreciate it all.
