Hey you guys!
Here's another chapter, I don't really know how long this story will be, I guess it will depend on the interest people take in the story.
The reviews I gotten so far really motivate me to keep on writing. (I actually think my English is getting better by it, I hardly have to think to come up with the right words)
Anyway, chapter 13..

Later that week Andy had arranged for Lissy to spent the night at Tommy's place. She had told Sam she wanted to have dinner at home with Lissy alone so she could at least see her daughter for a few hours.
Sam was fine with it and told her she could come over whenever she wanted.
On date day Sam parked the cruiser and turned his gaze towards Andy before he got out.
''I'll see you whenever you're ready okay?''
Andy smiled at him and nodded. ''Yeah, I'll drop off Lissy before her bed time and then I'll come over,'' she said.
They both left the cruiser and stepped into the barn. Separately they made their way to the locker rooms and got changed. Andy felt butterflies in her stomach, she had spent a lot of time with Sam over the last few months, but tonight things were different. They were finally on the same page about things and they would be alone for the whole night. When Andy made her way in to the locker room she nearly walked into Traci.
''Andy, you'll join me for a drink at the penny right?'' Traci looked at her friend with pleading eyes. ''Everybody else is bailing, we'll bring Lissy to my moms and have an old fashioned girls night.''
''Sorry Trace, I can't,'' Andy said. She hoped her friend would leave it at that, but that seemed very unlikely.
''Why you've got plans?'' Traci walked back into the locker room with Andy and sat down on one of the benches. When Andy didn't answer her question and her cheeks turned red Traci started laughing. ''Oh my god, hot date?'' she said.
''What Trace? No, no, no of course not,'' Andy said quickly, hoping she sounded somewhat convincing.
''But you do have plans?'' Traci asked with a smirk on her face. Andy was her best friend and most of the time a stranger could tell when she was lying, so for Traci it was definitely no trouble to find out when Andy was lying.
''I uh,'' Andy started while she suddenly seemed very invested in finding something in her locker. ''I have something I need to do, no big deal.''
''Where's Lissy going to be?'' Traci asked still smiling. By the look on her friends face there definitely was a guy involved.
Andy really hated lying to Traci and she knew Traci was on to her. She lowered her voice so no one else in the locker room would be able to hear her. ''Okay Trace, there's a guy.'' She said quick sounding irritated. ''But I want to see where things are going and I don't want to mess it up.''
''You really like this guy,'' Traci said slightly surprised. ''Do I know him?''
''No and keep up this and you will never get to know him either,'' Andy lashed out.
''Okay McNally, sorry for caring,'' Traci said while she stood up. ''You have fun and I'll see you later.'' Traci's voice was a lot more distant and Andy felt bad immediately.
''Trace, hold up,'' she said. Andy walked towards Traci and looked around to find the locker room mostly empty. ''I just don't want to jinx anything okay. Whenever I'm ready I'll tell you but for now I just have to figure this thing out on my own.'' Andy hoped she sounded convincing.
Traci sighed and gave her friend a quick hug. ''I'm happy for you Andy, seriously go have fun and whenever you are ready to share, come and find me.''
''You'll be the first to know,'' Andy said returning the hug.

A few hours later Sam was sitting on his couch, he felt nervous and that was a rare thing for him.
People always saw him as the cool in control kind of guy and most of the time he was. Except for when it came to Andy. Sam really had tried to fight his feelings, but he guesses now it was a losing battle from the start. She got to him and that didn't happen a lot.
Sarah, Jerry, Oliver and in a less degree Frank and Noëlle, that were the people he had let in. And he was fine with it like this. Sam wasn't the type for long term relationships, undercover work and relationships don't go hand in hand. A life filled with undercover, big and dangerous cases and a position with Guns and Gangs, that was where his life was headed. Only, ever since his last UC, he started doubting that career path. Eight months is a long time to be undercover and for the first time Sam started doubting if this is what he should be doing with his life.
A knock on his door pulled him from his thoughts. He quickly walked towards the door and opened it.
Andy was standing there and Sam took a few moments to take her in. She was wearing a purple dress that reached her mid thighs. Under the dress she wore black shoes with high heels, her hair was down and she had a nervous smile on face.
''Wow, you look beautiful,'' Sam told her as he escorted her in. He took her coat and put it away.
''Thanks, you look good too,'' Andy told him. She smiled at him and gave him a quick kiss.
''Let me show you around,'' Sam said to her. He took her by the hand as he made his way into the living room. ''Here's the living room, back there is the kitchen,'' he pointed to a door. Andy looked around and thought the place looked really good. She was expecting some kind of man hole, but this place was actually nice.
''Wow, looks really good. Wouldn't have pegged you for a guy that has throw pillows on his couch,'' she teased him.
''Yeah, that wasn't my idea,'' Sam said. ''Sarah was suppose to come by my place every now and then while I was undercover to make sure everything was alright. She decided my place needed a little decoration, hence the throw pillows and the decorations on the wall.''
Andy started laughing, she could picture a female version of Sam frustrated with how his place looked. ''I thought your handler always took care of your house and stuff?'' Andy asked.
''Yeah, but Sarah likes to feel like she's helping me,'' Sam explained. ''And some stuff is better off with someone you know.''
Andy nodded in understanding. Sam showed her the rest of the house. After the grand tour Sam told Andy to sit down and he went to get a beer out of the fridge. When he returned and handed her a beer he sat down on the chair that was edgeways from the couch she was sitting on.
''I like your house,'' Andy said. ''It's very you, even with the throw pillows on the couch and decorations on the wall.'' Andy smiled at him.
''Glad you like it McNally,'' Sam said.
''Why you sitting all the way over there?'' Andy asked him quietly.
Sam looked her in the eye, stood up and walked towards her. He dropped down next to her on the couch and took her in his arms. He kissed her gently and let her go after a few moments. ''So,'' he cleared his voice. ''What do you want to do? We can't really go out or something, just in case we run into someone.''
''Just two co workers hanging out together,'' Andy said teasing.
''Yeah, that would mean I would have to keep my hands off of you,'' Sam shot back.
''Well, you're managing that while we're working, so I don't really see a problem there.''
''It's hard enough at work McNally,'' Sam said grinning.
Andy laughed and kissed him again. When she backed away they both rested their heads on the back of the couch, facing each other.
''I kinda told Traci I'm sort of seeing someone,'' Andy admitted.
Sam stayed silent while he kept looking at her, he sensed she had more to say about this subject.
''She uh, she guessed that I was going to see a guy tonight and I tried lying, but I suck at lying so she saw through me. After that I sort of tried to shut her up about it, but that didn't work. I got nervous, acted like a bitch towards her and she walked away.'' Andy met his eyes again and put her head on his shoulder. ''I don't want to fight with her, so I just told her I'm seeing someone that she doesn't know.''
Sam chuckled a little before he asked his next question. ''And she left it alone after that? I was always told women talk about every detail of their lives together.''
Andy laughed with him. ''We do, but I told her I need to figure this one out by myself before going public.''
''Okay,'' Sam told her.
''Okay? You're not mad?''
''McNally, I trust your judgement and she's your best friend. Besides, she can't really judge considering she and Jerry were sneaking around while you guys were in the academy.'' Sam placed a kiss on top of her head and leaned back while his hands started stroking her arms. ''So no McNally, I am not mad at you.''
Andy sighed with relief and quickly pressed a kiss to his chest. They stayed sitting like that for a while, just enjoying each other's company. Every now and then one of them would initiate a kiss, but things stayed sweet.
''You know you can be really sweet sometimes,'' Andy told him.
Sam tickled her sides. ''Just sometimes McNally?''
Andy laughed and sat up. She straddled his lap so her knees were on either side of his thighs. She kissed him quickly and just once. ''Yeah, you come off as this bad ass cop who doesn't give a damn, but when you let your guard down you're really sweet.''
Andy pressed her lips to his again and worked her tongue in his mouth. She moved her hands over his chest and arms and pressed herself against him. Andy released his mouth and moved to nibble on his neck, Sam ran his hands over her sides and thighs. Because the dress was short he could feel her bare legs when he reached the middle of her thighs. Sam let his other hand drift to her neck so he could pull up her head again. When she responded to his silent request he pushed his lips to hers again.
Andy let her hands drift to his stomach, slowly running her nails over his abs. The fabric of his shirt was in her way so she quickly moved her hands to the hem of his shirt and pulled the material off of him. Sam helped her while she was pulling of his t-shirt by raising his arms. The moment the shirt was gone Andy had her lips on his chest.
Sam kept his hands tracing over her body, exploring and learning it. When Andy sat back to look at him, she took his hands and guided them towards the zipper of her dress. Sam got the hint and slowly worked the zipper down. When the zipper was all the way down, Andy got out of his lap and took a few steps back.
Sam wanted to protest, but then she slowly took her dress off her body. Then she stood before him, she was wearing a purple bra with black lace over it and matching panties. Sam took her in and stood up too. Andy was smiling at him, an insecure smile that he never saw on her before.
''You are so beautiful,'' Sam told her while he made his way towards her.
''Yeah?'' she asked insecure. She knew she was in good shape, but her stomach still had a few lines from her pregnancy. The lines were nearly faded. If you didn't know it, you probably wouldn't even see it, but Andy still felt insecure about it.
''Definitely,'' Sam told her softly.
He slowly pushed her hair out of her face and kissed her again. He moved his hands to cup her ass and lifted her from the ground. She wrapped her legs around him and Sam started walking towards his bedroom. When they reached it Sam slowly lowered Andy on the bed and crawled on top of her.
He kissed her neck and found the spot that made her shiver. When she moved her hands to his belt to undo it Sam stopped her.
''You sure about this?'' he asked giving her one last chance to back out.
''Never been more sure,'' she whispered before all conversation was forgotten.

They laid in bed, legs were tangled together and Andy was lying halve on top of Sam. Andy shivered, so Sam took the comforter and yanked it over her.
''You okay?'' he whispered in her ear.
Andy flattened her hands on his chest and laid her chin on top of them so she could look at him. ''I'm doing really good, you?''
''Oh I don't know McNally, a halve naked woman lying on top of me. Let me tell you, I've had worse moments.''
Andy laughed and put her head down again. They both stayed silent. Andy could hear his heart beating in her ear and closed her eyes. Of course there had been other guys, not as much as people would think though, but with Sam things really felt different.
''When do you have to pick up Lissy?'' Sam broke the silence.
Andy moved her head up again. ''I told my dad I would come and get her in the morning.'' When Andy said it she discovered she sounded a little bit presumptuous. ''Not that I assumed I would stay the night, I can go if you've got things to do.''
''Seriously does your brain ever stop you from over thinking every single detail in your life?''He sounded harsher than he meant it. Andy didn't know what to say and just looked at him with her big brown eyes. ''No McNally, I don't want you to leave.''
''Good, I don't want to leave.''

When Sam woke up the next morning Andy was still snuggled up to him. A small smile appeared on Sam's face as he slowly detangled her from him. He made his way out of the bed. He walked to the kitchen and started making breakfast.
When he had everything ready he put it all on a tray and moved to the bedroom again. He put the tray down on the empty side and walked to Andy's side again. He put his mouth near her ear and slowly whispered to her. ''McNally, wake up.''
Andy slowly opened her eyes and when she saw him she smiled.
''Hi,'' she said.
''Good morning,'' Sam said to her as he slowly kissed her like he did many times during the night.
Andy turned to her back and looked to the other side of the bed.
''Breakfast in bed? Seriously?'' Andy smiled from ear to ear.
''Well, I figured you needed to pick up Lissy soon, but I want to make sure you eat before you go,'' Sam shrugged.
''Like I said,'' Andy started and gave him a peck on the lips. ''Sweet.''
They ate together feeding each other playfully. After that they had a shower together. Sam was already dressed but Andy was still only wearing a towel.
''Sam could you pick up my bag from my car?'' Andy asked. ''I have other clothes in there, can't really go pick up Lissy in that dress.''
''You really planned this sleep over did you?'' Sam said teasingly.
''Jerk,'' Andy said.
''What did you tell your dad anyway?''
''Just that I wanted a night for myself, my dad always tell me to take more time for myself so he didn't ask any questions.''
''Got any plans for the rest of the day?'' Sam asked.
''No, not really. Maybe take Lissy to the park, the weather seems nice for this time of year.''
Sam moved behind her and slowly kissed her neck. ''I wish I could come with you.''
Andy sighed, turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. ''Just a few more weeks and we can do whatever we want.''
''A few more weeks,'' Sam agreed.

So let me know what you think.
I'm sort of thinking about making a time jump to speed things up a little, good idea or bad?
Let me know!
