A/N: SO THERE WASN'T THE TALK THAT I WANTED TO WRITE ABOUT, BUT THEREVIERE IS MCSWAREK IN IT! THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS!
Chapter 14:
"I want to make a toast to the cutest baby ever" Oliver began "My godson, Milo, who god help him for having that pair as parents" he ginned at Sam and Andy who watched him curiously "it is going to be kind of weird the day I tell you about how your mom was practically raised by your dad, work like speaking of course" there were a few laughs from the others "so congratulations to Sam and Andy"
"Thanks brother" Sam approached Oliver, he held 3 month old Milo carefully "it means a lot"
"I know, you're welcome Sammy, you know I love you" he patted him on the back "Good luck with this one kid" He touched the baby's cheek gently "you are going to need it"
"Hey" Andy hugged Oliver "that was interesting" she laughed. Sam wrapped his free arm around waist and kissed her nose softly. Oliver smiled and went looking for Jerry.
"it took you long enough" Tommy said "but I am glad you finally settled down, even if I think Andy was too young to do so" Sam rolled his eyes "Here, let me borrow my grandson for a second, I am a proud one who wants to show him off" Sam handed the baby to Tommy, he fussed a bit but was quickly quiet again.
"Hey guys, great party" Dov said "I still think your kid deserved a better name but…" Andy cut him off "like Dov?"
"Which happens to be a perfectly good name for a boy, it means bear you know?" Sam smiled "but okay, I give you that much, it sounds pretty cool"
"Thanks" Andy hugged him thigh "I think your name is pretty cool too" Dov smiled and with one last handshake from Sam went looking for Hannah. Sam then turned to Andy
"What?" she inquired when he leaned closer.
"Are you happy?" he whispered in her ear. She shivered at the touch. She nodded "Good"
"I love you" she kissed him passionately. Forgetting about where they were. A sudden dry sound made them break apart.
"Sorry I don't mean to interrupt your lovely celebration" it was Boyd. Sam glanced at him with hatred. Andy pulled him back closer to him "but I think congratulations are in order, you finally done it Sammy, you ruined your career and for what? A rookie and playing house?" Sam's blood was boiling. He walked closer to Boyd, pairs of eyes focus on the action
"Go away Boyd" Jerry said dryly. He gave Traci and Leo a quick look and walked next to Sam. His eyes focused on his former friend "go away or I'll kick your ass out"
"What?" Boyd said. Defiance in his voice "the great Jerry Barber is going to come and punch me?" jerry's face was hard "come on, I dare you, hit me, in front of those kids and all this nice people who are here instead of being doing their job" Sam touched Jerry's shoulder.
"He might not kick you out" Sam said quietly "But I will, what are you doing here Boyd? You are not welcomed here"
"Come on Sammy, I was your friend once, I warned you about that rookie and you went and got her pregnant". Sam smiled. He wasn't going to get away with that, that son of a bitch.
"Sam" Andy's voice echoed in the silence "stop it, he's not worth it" Sam turned around. Andy was holding Milo again. The baby's matching eyes locked with his.
"Yeah Sammy" Boyd said "be a coward"
"You are more of a man than he is" Jerry told Sam "let It go Sam" He began to back down. Then when he believed it was better to let it go, he hit him on the face; Boyd was thrown to the other side of the room. Sam returned to Andy's side and waited for Boyd to stand up.
"This was a real waste of time" Boyd said touching his chin "I hope you all enjoy playing house!" Sam and Jerry glanced at each other. Then they watched him walk away. Slamming the door behind him. The station was quiet for a moment.
"Are you okay Sammy?" Oliver asked his hand on his shoulder. "You want me to go and kick him hard?"
"Nah" Sam said sitting on the nearest chair "but I might need some ice for my hand, that ass sure made it hurt" Oliver nodded. Andy glanced at Traci to take Milo and walked towards Sam
"Are you okay? "She asked examining his hand. She had known violence wasn't the answer but she loved who she always felt safe with him.
"I am now" he said "I can't believe he just got in like that"
"One of the new rookies was guarding the door" Oliver said handing him a bag of ice. Sam grinned, he should have known. "I really hate that guy, and I usually don't hate people" Andy hugged Sam
"I love you" she said quietly "and you should have hit him harder" Sam smiled widely. His dimples making an appearance.
"You told me not to" Sam complained "you are impossible McNally". Hannah came running towards them.
"Sammy" she said gravely "It is wrong to hit people. Isn't it Andy?" She nodded "but I don't like that man"
"You know what?" Sam grinned neither do I"
Andy's condo was now home to the three of them and since Andy didn't work at the moment they had decided to rent Sam's place, they sure could use the money. Toys were scattered all around the living room and main bedroom. Sam opened the door. Milo slept soundly in Andy's arms.
"Here, I'll take him" Sam offered. He took the baby and made his way to the bedroom. A crib rested next to the bed "there we go" Sam whispered "sweet dreams"
"You are so cute" Andy had been standing in the doorway "I really love watching you with him"
"Well, he's you and me Andy" Sam gasped "watt's not to love?" She walked closer to him and kissed him on the lips "you know I love you right?"
"I do" Andy whispered "just tell me again"
He smiled "I love you with all that is possible to love"
