Chapter Twelve:
Andy walked up the familiar steps to the home she and Sam shared. The sun was almost set and the way the house looking was beautiful. It was truly her dream home. She opened the door quietly and placed her bag on the floor.
"Andy!?" Sam's voice came from upstairs as she heard him quickly coming down the stairs.
"Hi" she said quietly as Sam came closer to her and held his arms out. Andy sunk in them and felt the hot tears threatening to spill over. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Andy said.
"You had me worried sick! I've been sitting here for the past 4 hours waiting for you to come home. It's only a forty minute walk from the station! Where the hell did you go?!" Sam said in a loud voice, he wasn't yelling at her for not being home, he was yelling cause he was scared.
"I needed some time to think and I went to see my dad." Andy said as she wiped the tears that were on her cheeks.
"Next time please, send me a quick text to let me know you're okay. Your phone isn't even on." Sam said as he took a deep breath.
"My phone died, it's no excuse though. I'm sorry Sam." Andy said as she took off her shoes and followed Sam upstairs to their bedroom.
"Andy..." Sam said as he sat on the bed Andy walked over and stood between his legs.
"Wait, let me say something first. I've never felt this way about someone before, and it scares the hell out of me, my first instinct is to run but I can't because I could never do what my mom did to my dad... to you. I can't leave when things get rough and I need to listen to what you say instead of over thinking everything but you know me and how I like to keep the gears turning" Andy said with a chuckle and a small smile "But I love you Sam Swarek and as much as what we have scares the living hell out of me, it's worth it if it means I get to spend the rest of my life with you" Andy said as she placed her hands on his face and brought him closer to kiss him, he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her so close to him that he could feel her heart beating against his chest. He broke the kiss and pulled her down to the bed so she was sitting beside him.
"Close your eyes" he whispered against her lips. He kissed her quickly and she felt his weight off the bed.
"Sam?" she said about to open her eyes.
"Keep 'em closed McNally" Sams voice demanded from across the room. She heard him walk over to her when he spoke again.
"This isn't exactly how I wanted it to happen but as we know with us nothing ever happens according to plan." he laughed as Andy opened her eyes. She instantly felt the tears come back as she saw Sam down on one knee holding a black box with a beautiful diamond ring.
"I had a whole speech planned out but I'm way too curious for your answer so I'm skipping the speech. Andy McNally, I love you with everything I have, and I would be overjoyed to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" he said as she smiled at her flashing her his signature dimples.
Andy was speechless but she managed to nod her head as the tears spilled over. She felt Sam slip the ring on her finger before picking her up and taking her breath away with a kiss.
"I love you" Andy said against his lips.
"I love you too." Sam said kissing her again.
One Week Later:
"Sam! Everyone is going to be here soon so get your sexy ass down here now!" Andy shouted up the stairs. Andy twisted the ring on her finger as she went to grab a bottle of wine from the basement. They decided to wait to tell all their friends until they had told their families. They were having both families over to meet and break the news. Andy grabbed two bottles and walked up the stairs, she was nervous because this was the first time she was meeting Sam's sister. It felt weird. They were already engaged and she was just going to meet his sister.
As Andy was placing the wine on the counter the doorbell rang, she turned the corner to see Sam coming down the stairs in a pair of dark blue jeans and a black button up top. He placed a quick kiss on her lips before they walked to open the door.
"Dad" Andy said as she hugged her dad, Sam shook Tommy's hand and moved out of the way for him to come in.
"Andy, Sam, this is Ann. Ann this is my daughter and her boyfriend" Tommy said as he handed his coat to Sam.
"Nice to finally meet you, I've heard lots about you two" Ann said as she pulled Andy in for a hug.
"Nice to meet you too" Andy blushed as the timer went off in the kitchen.
They walked into the kitchen and Sam pulled the lasagna out of the oven as the doorbell rang again. Since it was the first time Andy was meeting his family she walked with him to the door and opened it. Andy looked at the woman in front of her who had the same dark hair and dimples as Sam.
"Sarah" Sam greeted her as he gave her a hug and shook hands with the man standing beside Sarah.
"Uncle Sammy!" a little voice from behind Sarah and her husband said.
"Hey there Payton" Sam said as he picked up the dark haired girl. "Andy this is my sister Sarah and her husband Lucas and this is their daughter Payton." he said as Sarah pulled Andy in for a hug.
"I've been waiting a very long time to meet you" Sarah said smiling the classic Swarek dimpled smile.
"Payton can you say hi to Andy?" Sam said as he brushed the dark curls out of the little girls face.
"Hi!" Payton said quietly hiding her face in Sam's neck.
"Now don't play shy!" Sarah laughed as a voice came from behind them.
"Now Now Sarah move over so I can see my son!"
"Mom?" Sam said a confused look across his face. "I thought you were in Hawaii!" he said as he stepped out on the porch to give the woman a hug. There was no questioning that the Swarek siblings got their looks from their mother.
"I came back early, when Sarah told me you were having dinner I had to surprise you!" The woman said
"Andy this is my mother Susan. Mom, this is Andy" Sam said smiling bringing Andy to his side.
"Nice to meet you Andy, you two have a lovely home!" Susan said hugging Andy.
"Thank you! Come in! My dad and his girlfriend are in the kitchen, I would love for you to meet them." Andy said as she closed the door and followed everyone into the kitchen.
After introductions were made they sat down at the table and ate dinner. Susan and Tommy shared stories about Sam and Andy when they were little and everyone seemed to have a good time. Sam got up to refill Andy's wine glass and grab himself another beer. He stood beside Andy and looked around the table before he started speaking.
"I just wanted to thank you guys for coming tonight, this is really the first gathering we've had since we bought the house. We do have a reason for you guys being her tonight, we wanted our family to know before we told the others but Andy and I are getting married." Sam said pulling Andy up beside him. She had managed to keep her left hand hidden most of the evening so no one would know until Sam announced it, she held up her hand to show off the ring. Sarah, Susan and Ann rushed over to gush over the beautiful ring Sam bought.
"Good Work Sammy!" Sarah said as she pulled her brother into a hug.
"I knew you could do it!" Tommy said shaking Sam's hand.
"I couldn't have done it without your permission and help Tommy" Sam said
"I think you can call me dad now." Tommy said pulling Sam into a hug before moving to his daughter.
"You knew!?" Andy said shocked as she looked between Sam and her Dad.
"Of Course he knew! You don't think I would ask to marry you without your fathers permission do you?" Sam said as he pulled her by her side again and kissed her temple.
"You two are sneaky!" Ann said laughing as she sat down next to Tommy again.
"Payton come here" Sam said motioning for the five year old to come to him, he sat her on his lap and she grabbed Andy's hand looking at the ring.
"Ooooo Sparkly!" she said as everyone laughed.
"How would you like to be the flower girl at our wedding?" Andy asked as the little girls face lit up, she quickly looked at her mom who nodded her head and smiled. Payton turned back to Andy and Sam
"YA YA YA" she said excitingly. "Do I get to wear a pretty dress?"
"Of course!" Sam said smiling at Andy.
That's when Andy knew. Sam was the one. All the nervousness she felt, all the worries she had were gone. She finally had found happiness.
