thanks again for everyone's continued support, having a great time writing these, sometimes inspiration comes to me in the weirdest of situations. I just wanna say, this chapter, is either love or hate it, I've written it based on the conversation at the end of 6x10 breaking up the band, basically sam being open made me take it in this direction, for those yet to see that episode you'll know what I mean when you watch it. I really hope you enjoy x
"Well Jo, can't I have a romantic moment with my wife" Sam said laughing
"What?" Jo said awkwardly.
They both just looked at her, almost unable to hold The laughter.
"Wait so, you two are married, to each other"
Sam and Andy lifted thier hands up to show the matching rings.
"So what was all that stuff with the Nick guy?"
"Nick is one of my best friends, in fact we did date for a short time a while Back now, but I realised I was still In love with Sam and me and Nick have been close ever since and not to mention we were undercover together for 6 months" andy replied bitterly.
"Ok, I can see I've been had, kudos to you swarek, you didn't strike me as the kind of guy that plays immature games" jo said looking towards Andy.
"Sorry couldn't resist, when you thought Nick was Andy's husband I figured id play along see how long it took You to realise, which I'm kinda surprised it took you long to realise considering your an established detective, even Nash caught on and I hadn't even discussed it with her, so She gave the heads up to Nick and Andy and they played along."
"So what was all that stuff about, how she's your best friend and you love her, and shes happy"
"Nothing, you asked me questions, I didn't lie I gave you truthful answers, I never once said she wasn't my wife, in actual fact I think my answers were pretty obvious "
"Ok very funny swarek, I should have guessed I mean love was written all over your face that time she had run into that burning building."
"Yep" Sam said with a smirk
"I just can't believe you let her kiss another guy" Jo said smirking.
"I trust her, and I trust Nick with her life, he's a good friend and I would Never ask her to not be friends with him, we have enough trust to know the other would not do anything like that"
"I can see that" Jo said laughing
"Let's get back inside, I'm sure the rookies are gonna love this story" Andy said
They all headed back inside, Andy felt a bit better about the situation especially after jo's reaction, realising that maybe jo was sorry but when she thinks about it she felt the same way when Sam was with Marlo so can only Imagine how Jo felt when she saw someone with the man she loves, it doesn't justify her sleeping with Luke but she is a little more content with the situation.
Andy headed back over to the rookies and let them in on what had happened which resulted in a roar of laughter from traci.
Sam and Jo headed back to the bar and Oliver joined them.
"So when did you and McNally actually get together?" Jo asked
Sam let out a huge sigh.
"So I'll give you the rundown seen as everyone else knows and your not to ask me any other questions about the past in the future, got it"
"Ok..." Jo said cautiously.
"So after the whole Luke thing, me and Andy had become a lot closer, we could both feel the pull towards each other except neither of us wanted to Be the one to make the first move, me because I didn't want her to think I was taking advantage and her because she didn't want sure how to broach the subject."
"It was really irritating for those that could see they belonged together" Oliver said smiling at Sam.
"one day we were on a case and we had to split up and I thought she had been injured, so when I found out she was ok, the tension rose and we almost kissed but she pulled away I figured it was because she didn't want me, so anyway I was suppose to go undercover 3 weeks later but Boyd needed me that night, meanwhile Andy had decided she wanted us but I'd already gone"
He took a swig of his beer
"So Andy, Epstein and Nash get sent on the infamous scavenger hunt, Andy turns up at the alpine inn which is where I was with the guy I was tryna nail, when they saw me her and Nash did great not letting on that they knew me, anyway We couldn't resist and we ended up getting together while I was undercover, until the guy I was UC for realised I was a cop, he kidnapped me and tortured me and all I could think about was if he had hurt Andy. But while he was torturing me, he let me know that the boat Boyd had given me was seized in a raid which turns out belonged to someone he knew"
"Wait so Boyd screwed you over" Jo said shocked.
"Yep, turns out one of the victims of the Brennan was a bikers brother who effectively killed Brennan's wife and daughter in a car accident and Boyd helped cover it up so he could use the guy as a witness when we nailed Brennan for all the people he had killed, then he tried to pin me being missing on Andy, even Luke knew and he wasn't impressed he was using McNally as a way out, we both got suspended and part of the suspension was were not to contact each other, I thought it was bullshit but Andy followed the rules and I didn't see her for 3 months, I was angry that she listened to the white shirts, all I wanted to do was be with her but I understood eventually where she was coming from, when she came back we started again,"
"Wow, quite the story"Jo said motioning for more drinks.
"He hasn't finished yet, these two are quite the Romeo and Juliet" Oliver said proudly.
"So then her and Gail were on this sting to catch a guy who was killing hookers, me and Andy were good, she had told me She loved me and although I didn't say it back I felt it, Gail was staying with her so she didn't stay that night with me, when she didn't turn up to parade next day I started to get worried, I called her and when she answered she told me how she was attacked and the person had kidnapped Gail, so going through the case things are a bit tense as its one of our own missing, we had one person in mind but short on bodies so barber went to speak to who we thought was a witness and me and Andy went to who we thought was the suspect, turns out we had it the wrong way round, when we realised we went and Jerry had been stabbed"
Jo patted him on the shoulder.
"So I broke up with her in a parking lot and told her I couldn't be a cop and be with her, to her it sounded like I was blaming her for jerry's death, she had tried helping me but I pushed her away, I never blamed her for jerry's death, I just couldn't bear thinking of her in the state Nash was in, and I couldn't think how I would deal if something like that happened to her so I thought breaking up with her would hurt less, but how wrong was I, well anyway 6 weeks later we had a case and Andy ended up holding a grenade so a 12 year old didn't have to, and I chose that moment to tell her I loved her, bad timing or what"
Jo nodded her her hair with a smile.
He took another swig of beer.
"Well I laid my heart out and told her if she wanted us, toMeet me at the penny, she never turned up, I later find out she was undercover but I thought she had chosen to after the grenade incident, I didn't realise she had put her name down when we were broken up, but I thought she had run away again, so I started seeing a woman called Marlo cruz"
"Yeah I know cruz, I can see the attraction she's like a robot, not many feelings, good police"
"Well Anyway we find out Andy and Nick were in trouble 6 months later and it was a race against time, when I found them all feelings resurfaced for Andy but I tried to hide them because I thought she had run away from us, so I stayed with Marlo which was wrong, well anyway turns out Marlo was bi polar, she had stopped taking her meds because she fell in love with me, the only person that knew she was bi polar was Andy, because she had found out and promised marlo she wouldn't tell anyone. Marlo became obsessed with one guy who she believed kidnapped a kid so many years ago and anyway the guy got attacked and had a vendetta against 15 with a Hitlist,
Me, Andy,Oliver, price, Collins and Marlo.
Well Chloe and Andy got ambushed and Chloe got shot in the neck, then Oliver got kidnapped so we were told to stay at the precinct and turns out he used Oliver as a distraction and came to the barn and went to shoot Nick until I walked around the corner and he just shot me and Nick managed to get him"
"Wow, you guys have had quite the journey"
"Oh he's not finished yet, and this is the short version. A few weeks before the whole shooting I got him to admit he loved McNally, but it was too late she was with Nick" Oliver said while taking a sip of his beer, resulting with a frown from Sam.
"When we had found Oliver I was putting my gun back and Andy asked me where I was going, so I told her I couldn't be there, so she asked why and I told her that more than anything in the world I wanted her to be happy and she was with Nick, but it turns out she was more happy with me and she told me she still loves me while I was in the ambulance. When I came back to work we started again slowly and it was better than before, we didn't hold back, we were happy it was like the honeymoon period, everything perfect, she also almost got blown up by a bomb which was planted by commissioner Santana because of some hard drives we recovered which would show he was dirty"
"Yeah I heard about that, didn't know it was Andy"
"Yeah she walked out without a scratch and a ringing in her ear, I've never been soo scared in my life, I thought she was dead when I first got to the evidence room."
Sam took another swig of beer.
But we had a few more bumps when Marlo came back after 4 months to tell me she was pregnant, and I didn't expect Andy to stick around, I had wanted kids and a future but with Andy and I loved her enough to understand if she didn't want to stay with me, but she stuck by me, we realised our love was more pure than ever. Well turns out I wasn't the dad, marlo had slept with Luke after I got shot.."
Jo almost choked on her drink.
"Wait so Luke is a dad now?"
"Yep seems they bonded over the fact me and andy didn't want them,"
"Wow" Jo said.
"Anyway I knew when she stuck with me, that she was the one, I had to make her mine and I knew she would know for sure if I proposed because she knew how I felt about weddings, but it just felt so right, and here we are 2 months after getting married, and expecting twins"
"Oh really, twins, that's great swarek" Jo said
"So that's the love story of Sam and Andy"
Sam said with a massive grin.
"And I've been here first hand to see it all, even before they realised themselves we all knew and I'm Glad they got there in the end and now I'm gonna be uncle Ollie " Ollie said proudly and Jo just laughed.
"I see I've missed a lot being in Vancouver, although I had an idea you were totally in love with her swarek" Jo said
"Yep, listen I know Andy has her reservations about you, not just because of Luke but how you treated her during the Zoe martinelli case, she will come around soon, I think your a good detective but if Andy has a hunch about anything, follow it, seen as most of the cases she is involved with now it's her instincts that have got us arrests, she has a good eye and can read people, I like you but if you upset her I'll be forced to step in, Andy has a lions heart and I'm not gonna let anyone take advantage of that"
"I have no intentions of upsetting her, infact I tried to apologise this morning but she dismissed me"
"Yeah maybe give her space, her pregnancy hormones aren't exactly helping the situation"
Jo nodded in agreement.
"So someone wanna tell Me what happened with Luke and why there was an opening in the first place" Jo said
"Well he kept harassing Andy, and then tried to tell her that I had to go undercover, that I didn't have a choice, so I set him straight and he got a bit cocky, told frank that the division was a joke, I told him he had to leave Andy alone and told him how it was back then, he punched me in the face"
Sam pointed to the slightly faded bruise by his eye.
"Jeez you must have really touched a nerve for him to punch you"
"Yea I know I was shocked to, golden boy never did anything wrong, never risked making a mistake at work, then when frank told him to leave to say I was happy was an understatement."
They continued to talk about other goings on at 15, when Sam realised he had drunk a bit too much to drive he went over to Andy and told her he she could drive his truck, she loved driving it but she knew it was his baby so those times were few and far between, they left and made the journey home stopping for dinner at the diner near the penny.
"So how was your cosy little chat with Jo"
"Are you jealous"
"No, I just saw you,her and Oliver engrossed in conversation"
"Well we were talking about what had been going on at 15 the last 13 years"
"You told her our love story didn't you"
"How do you know, well detective i noticed her keep looking at me and Oliver as well"
"Yeah I told her, I'm proud of how we got where we are today and I want the world to know, I love you Andy swarek and nothing and no one is going to change that" he said and he leaned in to kiss her cheek.
"Who are you and what have you done with my husband" Andy joked
"Well I can show you when we get home" he winked.
"Is that a promise" Andy said
"Oh yes" Sam said putting his hand on her thigh.
They pulled up and barely made it through the door when same pushed Andy up against the wall, he grabbed her face a kissed her passionately, when they came up for a breath
"Sam our food is gonna get cold"
"That's why we have a microwave" he said with a massive grin plastered across his face.
She dropped the bag on the floor and brushed her hands through his hair, returning the passion, he pulled her towards the sofa, kicked off his boots not breaking away from her lips he undid his belt and pulled his trousers and boxers down and then went to work on her trousers, he sat down on the sofa and pulled her on top, he slid into her without hassle and they both let out a low groan, and right there they made love, they both found thier release and just sat there taking each other in, he's glad she didn't go off of sex like he had read about, because he could never get enough of her, and while she was still able he was gonna try as much as possible. They got up to eat and went to bed.
The next day they both started at the same time so they drove in as usual, they were in parade and the new rookies were all there.
"So welcome to 15 rookies, nothing you learn in the academy will prepare for life on the streets, so serve protect and don't screw up" frank said.
"So rookies, let us do some introductions, our detectives Danny James, Marcus guild,
Traci Nash, Jo rosati & Sam swarek"
Andy was sitting on the table next to where Sam was standing and nudged his shoulder when they called his name, he smiled and nudged her back, Andy also noticed one of the new rookies turn to look and she saw the look in her eye, the same look she had had all those years ago, this was gonna be interesting.
"So old rookies who are now the TO's, time to find out who your rookies will be, that sounds so weird, anyway kellie Taylor your with Oliver shaw, go easy he's getting old now"
"Hey frank, less of that, and you and sammy are the same age"
"Hey shaw, I'm around 5 years younger actually so keep me Out of your old man club" sam said with full dimples on show.
The room filled with laughter.
"Ok moving on, carleigh Reid, your with Chris Diaz, Lucas Jackson your with Epstein and peck you have Corey Thompson, so play nice" frank said
"I always play nice" Gail said smiling.
"McNally as you know is on desk, and would appreciate anyone who brings her a milkshake to satisfy her cravings" all the new rookies turned to see her.
when parade had disbanded, frank came to Andy "McNally i have someone on desk you can help the d's today they need you to listen to some recordings gonna take most of shift."
"Sounds good, if I get one more call About a lost dog or cat I think you would have had to buy new phones"
Frank stated laughing as he headed out.
Andy made her way to the lounge to grab herself a milk and get Traci and Sam a coffee, When she arrived she saw the two new female rookies making coffee's, they looked lost,
"Oliver likes his with one milk and 3 sugars and Diaz has his with milk and no sugar" she said smiling, remembering when she was in the Same position.
"Thanks, so have you been here a long time?" Kellie asked
"Since I left the academy 5 years ago, my father was a detective here" Andy said back
"So you know detective swarek?" Kellie said
Here we go Andy thought, she knew this would happen eventually here husband was pretty amazing and the them dimples pulled a lot of interest.
"Yep he was my TO" she knew where this was going and couldn't help but laugh, it was gonna be fun teasing these rookies just like noelle, oliver and Sam had done to her and her friends all those years ago.
"Really, what was he like?" Kellie said excitedly
"Tough, but he was one of the best"
"Yeah I heard he was the cities best undercover and then some rookie blew his cover on her first day" carleigh spoke out.
"Yep that was me, although I only arrested him because he was at the scene of a homicide, I didn't know he was undercover, it was when he got here one of the detectives blew his cover" Andy said, she was enjoying this, even she could tell that kellie had a crush, but she knew sam and didn't have to worry. Why they were making the coffees Andy pulled her phone out.
*Looks like I'll have to fight for you attention*
Almost immediately he texted back.
*Why?*
*I'm in the lounge, new rookies, Oliver's rookie is asking a lot about you seems she has a crush*
She looked up and saw him looking from the d's office, and the girls noticed too, he waved and they practically melted.
*seems you have an admirer*
*they can admire as much as they like, I only have eyes for you xxx *
*i know, it's just gonna be fun, I like having new rookies*
She was pulled out of her slight day dream
"officer McNally, you know if he's seeing anyone" kellie asked
"You should ask Oliver, they are best friends"
Andy said heading towards the coffee machine.
"He is soo hot, I want some of that action"
"You know he's like 37 right" Andy said
"Really, he doesn't look that old, he must have girls falling over him"
"Well I know hes had a few" Andy said followed by
"Like I said ask Oliver"
"Are you guys close?" Kellie asked as they were leaving.
"Very, he's always has my back even now he's a detective, we were partners for a long time, we would do anything for each other"
"Cool, I better get going before shaw gets me to do his paperwork"
"Well you will end up doing that anyway, but if he's angry just offer to buy him Food, Oliver never turns food away"
"Thanks officer McNally"
"Your welcome, have fun on your first day"
She got her phone out again and sent a text Oliver.
*oliver your rookie has a crush on Sam, use it to your advantage*
*oh I will do, welcome to the club McNally ;-)*
she returned several minutes later with coffees for Nash and Sam and was laughing to herself.
"Andy what's so funny?"
"One of the rookies has a crush on Sam and as its Oliver's rookie I informed him and now he's gonna have fun"
Sam rolled his eyes "that poor rookie"
"This is gonna be fun" Nash said
