Hello everyone, just wanted to say thanks for the kind reviews, so, here is another chapter and again, I'm sorry for any grammar mistake. Hope you enjoy it
"Sam?" Andy shook her husband awake during the night
Sam growled something Andy couldn't understand and turned to the other side putting a pillow over his head
Andy huffed annoyed and tried again, this time poking his back repeatedly "Come onnn Sam"
After a few moments of poking, Sam knew Andy wasn't giving up, so he gave in and finally opened his eyes "Alright, I'm up, I'm up"
Andy smiled triumphantly and sat cross legged "Boy or girl?"
Sam scratched his head trying to understand what the hell was going on "Hun?"
Andy rolled her eyes and caressed her belly "Do you prefer a boy or a girl, dummy"
Sam smiled thinking about the newest member of the family, their second rookie, he couldn't be more excited "hmmm…I don't know, I would love to have a little girl, but another boy would be great too. Either way, I'm going to love him or her unreservedly, just like I love you and Brian. And what about you? What is your gut telling you? Is it a boy or a girl?" he said, kissing Andy's stomach and then meeting her lips softly
Andy thought for a minute, her gut was telling her it was a girl, but sometimes she had the feeling that it was a boy "I really don't know, maybe it's a boy and a girl" she joked a little just to see Sam's reaction
Sam knew Andy was just teasing him, still, he widened his eyes in surprise "That would be…chaotic, could you imagine that? I mean…wow"
"Yeah, but I'm sure we would have a great time"
"Sure, I mean, imagine all the crying, all the dirty diapers, all the accidents and all the worry, now…multiply that by two…that's what twins would be like, no, thank you, if you want a third one, that's fine, but give it some time"
So, they were already thinking about a third heir "But Saaaam, you are old, we can't wait much longer"
Sam faked annoyance and pinned Andy below him "I'm sorry, are you insulting me? I'm going to show you who is the old one" he said, while poking her ribs
Andy started struggling, trying her best to avoid Sam's fingers "No, no, I'm kidding, I'm sorry"
Sam silenced Andy's giggles with a kiss "Keep it down, we don't want Brian to wake up, do we?"
Andy suddenly got serious and frowned "Now that you mentioned Bry, I remembered something that I'm seriously worried about"
"Hey, what's up?" Sam said gently, smoothing her worry lines
Andy was bothered and she needed to share it with Sam "How do you think Brian is going to react? I'm afraid he won't like the news"
"What? Are you kidding me? He is going to love it, we just have to make sure that he knows how much we love him and that nothing is going to change about that" Sam said one hundred percent sure, and he wasn't lying just to reassure Andy, he really believed in that
Andy thought for a moment and then smiled, she could feel a weight been lifted off of her chest "You are right, and he did ask for a brother"
"And let's not forget the dog" Sam teased, lightening the mood a little
"But I think he already forgot it"
"I'm not sure about that, last week when we were playing outside he saw what appeared to be an abandoned dog and he wanted to keep it, I almost let him, but we found out the dog wasn't abandoned and Bry was pretty sad about that" Sam told Andy
"Really? I didn't know that, I think we should consider his wish for a dog, don't you think?"
"I agree, but please, can we talk about that tomorrow? It's like 3:30 and my eyes are heavy, I want to sleep" Sam pleaded, already closing his eyes and making himself comfortable
Andy laughed, turned the lamp off and snuggled next to Sam, he immediately took her hand in his and placed it on top of Andy's belly, protecting their baby
Beep… Beep… Beep…
Andy heard the alarm go off indicating that it was time to wake up, she growled in protest but opened her eyes, looking to her right she noticed Sam wasn't there, which was strange, usually when she had the day off -like today- she was the first to wake up so she could make breakfast and take care of Brian while Sam enjoyed another thirty minutes of sleeping, but it seemed like today wasn't the case
Wandering through the house she spotted Sam inside Brian's bedroom, he was sitting at the edge of their son's bed with Brian sleeping on his lap, Andy smiled at the sight and stepped in "Hey, what are you doing here?"
Sam looked up, surprised he hadn't heard Andy coming in "Good morning beautiful, I just couldn't sleep and I heard Bry whimpering, he was having a nightmare, so I came here and reassured him everything was ok, we talked a bit and he fell asleep"
"Nightmare? That's unusual for him, I can't even remember the last time he had one" Andy said, caressing her son's red hair softly so he wouldn't wake up
Sam shrugged "I'm sure it was just about a big, fat, ugly, green, gooey monster trying to steal his cookies"
"Not the cookies again" Andy laughed, remembering what happened not so long ago
"Hey, did you want to see me?" Andy asked, sitting in one of the comfortable chairs in Sam's office
Sam was just getting out of the phone and motioned for her to wait a moment, after saying good bye to the person he was speaking to, he explained why he caller her
"So, Martha, from the kindergarten just called saying that Brian had a huge fight with Jared…I have the feeling that she might be overreacting, but that's not the point… she also said that Bryan asked if she could call us because he wanted to go home"
Honestly, Andy was surprised to hear that, it was a first for them, Brian was always very friendly with everybody "We will have to talk to him and see what happened. But what do we do tight now?"
Sam got up and took the car keys from the drawer "Now, I'm going there to find out what happened and then I think I will bring him here, and as your boss, I'm giving you a choice, do you want to go with me or do you want to stay here, finishing paperwork?"
"Hmmm, tough choice, let me see…paperwork or go along with my sexy husband?" Andy pretended to think
Sam just narrowed his eyes at her and shook his head "Come on, let's see what they have for us" he said, holding the door opened for Andy
Just as they were arriving at the Principal's office, Andy stopped abruptly and turned to Sam "You better behave, I don't want you fighting with that woman again, one time was enough, hear me? So, I will do the talking this time"
Sam rolled his eyes but had to agree
Martha was already waiting for them "Good morning Ms. And , Brian will be here in one second"
Andy extended her hand and greeted Martha "Good morning" while Sam merely nodded
The door opened and Brian entered, his eyes were a little swollen and he looked sad, Sam immediately got up from his chair and bent down to lift Bry "Heeey buddy, what's wrong?"
Andy and Sam knew very well that some days Brian could be a little difficult and it looked like today was one of those days when he pouted and hid his head on Sam's neck
Andy looked at Martha "So, what happened?"
"His teacher came to me and said that Jared and Brian were having lunch together and she don't know what happened, but suddenly Brian bit Jared's finger and Jared bit him back, so, I was hoping that maybe you could convince Brian to tell us what happened" Martha explained
Sam, who was standing right behind Andy with Brian on his lap, sat down, he whispered something in his son's ear and the boy lifted his head.
Brian thought for a minute and agreed "Okay, I will tell"
Andy looked disapprovingly at Sam and shook her head, she knew he had offered him a candy or something like that if he agreed to talk, which wasn't right "So, what happened?"
Brian kept his head low "Remember the cookies we made yesterday with Buzzlightyear's shape?"
Andy nodded "Yes, I do, I packed three for you today"
"We were having lunch and Jared took one and he didn't ask please, so I bit his finger so he would never ever do this again, it was my cookie"
"But honey, you can't bite your friend just because he ate your cookie, you still had two"
"Yes I can mommy, and I am not his friend anymore" Brian said, in the most childish tone possible
"Hey, don't talk like that to mom, she is right" Sam, who until this point was quiet intervened
Brian crossed his arms over his chest and pouted "But daaaaad, they were my cookies, I don't want to share my cookies with anybody"
"Look, we are not going to discuss this here, we will talk when we get home, now grab your backpack and lets go" Andy, who was very disappointed and annoyed got up and thanked Martha, with Sam right behind doing the same
"Want to take a shower together before the hurricane needs to wake up?" Sam suggested
"I would love that, let's go" Andy said, holding Sam's hand and leading him to their bathroom
"So honey, it's you first day on vacation and it's mommy's day off, what do you want to do today?" Andy said excitedly, sitting beside Brian who was at the dinner table silently playing with two little cars
Brian chewed on his bottom lip just like Andy did and shrugged "I don't know"
Right, so this was a first, usually Brian would be extremely excited to spend the day with Andy, just the two of them, painting, playing games and running around, he was one of those kids that could never stay quiet for too long, but today he seemed strange, he was frowning constantly, something Andy noticed since Sam left to work, he was waaaay quieter than usual and he didn't want to play, so Andy started to worry that maybe he had listened that she was pregnant and was sad because he didn't like the idea or it could be something else too, she honestly didn't know
"Hey, is there something wrong buddy?" Andy tried to talk
Brian looked at her for a long time before he shook his head
Okay, so this was going to be difficult, Andy thought to herself "What do you say if we go to the court play basketball?"
"No, I don't want to, I want to tal…nothing, nothing" Bry started but gave up mid sentence
Andy knew Brian was going to say something else, so she encouraged him "Want what? You can ask anything"
"I want to talk to my dad, mom" He finally said, after opening and closing his mouth several times
Andy was caught off-guard, she didn't knew what that was about, but she didn't question Brian's wish, she grabbed the phone and dialed Sam's number
Sam: Hello
Andy: Sam, hi, it's me
Sam: ohh, sorry, hi honey, how's your day so far?
Andy: hmmm, good, good, look, I'm calling because Brian said he wants to talk to you
Sam: What? Why?
Andy: I don't know, he was acting strange and said he wanted to talk to you
Sam: hmm, okay, let me talk to him
Brian: Dad?
Sam: Heeeey Bry, how is your day?
Brian: Good
Sam: Good? And what are you and mom going to do today?
Brian: I don't know yet
Sam: Why don't you paint something really nice for me and when I get home we can hang your picture in the living room
Brian: Hmmm, ok, I can do that
Sam: Great, I can't wait to see what you are going to do
Brian: Dad?
Sam: Yeah? Something wrong?
Brian: No, can you come home now?
Sam: I'm sorry buddy, I can't, I'm working, but I promise, I will be home soon
Brian: How soon?
Sam: Hmm, three hours, is that ok with you?
Brian: You promise?
Sam: Yes, I do
Brian: Promise, promise?
Sam: Trust me, three hours and I'm home
Brian: Okay, I trust you, bye dad, I love you
Sam: I love you too, now let me talk to mom
Andy: It's me
Sam: So, he sounded different, but maybe he is just in one of those bad days, don't worry
Andy: I hope you are right, have to go now, see you in a couple hours, bye honey, I love you
Sam: Bye McNally, call me if you need
After talking to Sam, Brian seemed to relax, he painted something with his mom for a bit just like he promised his dad he would and after that they went to the playground where Brian met a few friends.
When it was getting dark, Andy called her son so they could go home and prepare something for dinner
"So, had fun today?" Andy asked while she was setting the table with Brian's help
He gave her a smile that showed his charming dimples and nodded "Yes, I did, I can't wait to tell dad. Is he going to take long?"
Andy looked at the clock and realized that Sam was a little late, which wasn't uncommon, some days he was caught up with paperwork and it would take him longer to get home. Just at this moment the doorbell rang, Brian left what he was doing and ran to the door thinking that his dad was finally home
"Dad, dad!" When he opened the door and it wasn't his dad, he huffed disappointed and turned to walk away
Andy, who was right behind Brian, froze when she saw two officers standing in her doorway, she knew that could only mean something, and it wasn't good
"Miss McNally, there has been an accident" one of them stated, trying his best to be professional and strong
