Thanks for your patience guys, sorry for the delay. The wedding to come very soon:-)
The following day Sam walked into work to find Frank waiting for him. Andy gave same a look wishing him luck. She knew what was going to happen, and she knew he kind of deserved it but she couldn't help but feel badly. If she had seen him with another woman she probably wouldn't have reacted so well either.
Traci: Morning...how did the night go? How is Sam...and Luke?
Andy: They will live.
Traci: How are you?
Andy: I am over it. I mean if it happens again I will kill them both but Sam and I talked it out. We are fine. In fact, he really wants to push up the wedding.
Traci: When?
Andy: Sooner the better.
Traci: How do you feel about that?
Andy: Honestly? I feel great. We gave waited long enough to be together. I just want to be his wife. Ugghh. I am sorry Traci, I am being completely insensitive.
Traci: How many time do I have to tell you I am fine! I am just so happy for you guys and I cannot wait until you are married!
Andy: I am glad you said that because we have a lot of work to do. Alright I am riding with Oliver today. You know how he gets when he is hungry...gotta go!
Traci heads to the D's office where she finds Sam.
Traci: Well, well if it isn't Muhammad Ali himself.
Sam: Ha Ha very funny.
Traci: How much trouble are you in?
Sam: Suspended for 3 days.
Traci: Sounds like you lucked out.
Sam: Well I asked Frank how he would feel if he found Diaz kissing Noelle...He had pity on me.
Traci: Sooo...I saw Andy. She said you want to push up the wedding.
Sam: You sound concerned about that?
Traci: More curious...what is the rush?
Sam: No rush, I just don't want to wait anymore. I don't want to waste anymore time.
Traci: Are you sure that is it? It doesn't have anything to do with Luke?
Sam: Look, I am not going to lie...seeing him kissing her, even though it was a second...it scared the hell out of me.
Traci: That doesn't explain why you are in a rush to get married. Last night really freaked you out didn't it? You Sam Swarek, are terrified you are going to lose her aren't you?
Sam: No!
Traci: Sam.
Sam: Ugh...Jerry really rubbed off on you.
Traci: You were his best friend, and you are marrying my best friend. I like to think I know you fairly well at this point. And I think you are scared. You have no reason to be you know that...you should know that.
Sam: I know she loves me. I know she wants to marry me. I guess last night, I don't know...I was scared that she was going to come to her senses and realize she can do so much better than me.
Traci: You are not giving yourself enough credit, she is crazy in love with you and you know it. I will tell you this a million times if I have to...DO NOT LET LUKE GET IN YOUR HEAD! Be happy she picked you!
Sam: You are right. Maybe we should wait and take our time to prepare for the wedding.
Traci: Oh hell no, you promised us a wedding you are giving us a wedding.
Sam laughs: Ok, Thanks Nash. Seriously as always you give me good advice...much better than Shaw would.
Traci: Thanks...I think. Where are you headed?
Sam: Well, I have 3 days off...I suppose I should find a place for us to get married.
Traci: You are going to find a wedding venue? By yourself?
Sam: Why not?
Traci: I am coming with you.
Sam: Don't you have work to do?
Traci: Yeah...I have to make sure you don't screw this up.
Oliver: So moving this wedding along...glad to see Sammy is not stuck in the dog house for too long.
Andy: Yeah. I think he has suffered enough.
Oliver: Uhhh yeah, if I saw Zoe kissing another guy I would have beat the hell out of him...sorry too soon?
Andy: A little.
Oliver: Look, Callaghan is a good guy, I have always liked him but he stepped over the line last night.
Andy: I agree. he knows it. Can we talk about something else? Anything else?
Oliver: Yes...Lunch. let's talk about lunch.
Andy: Where do you want to go.
Oliver: Oh...I know the perfect place.
5 minutes later they pulled into a bakery.
Andy: A Bakery? For Lunch?
Oliver: Listen, i am not going to this wedding unless there is a good cake. Plus I have not had a reason to go cake tasting since I got married.
Andy: I am impressed Oliver.
Oliver: Well what's a best man for if not to go cake tasting?
Andy: Point taken...let's go.
Andy walks into the condo to find Sam cooking dinner.
Andy: Wow, I could get use to this.
Andy walks behind Sam who is standing at the stove and wraps her arms around his waist and kisses his neck.
Sam: Well if this is the greeting I get I will get suspended more often.
Andy: Hilarious. Anyway what did you do with you 1st day of suspension?
Sam: I go the truck washed, Found a place to get married, and went to the gym. You?
Andy: Oh, we had a robbery, some drunks...wait what? You found a place for us to get married?!
Sam: Well, I found something I liked that I thought you would like but it is really up to you.
Andy: God you are sexy, cooking dinner and planning a wedding. Are their any other talents that I should know about?
Sam: Oh just wait until after dinner and I will show you.
Andy: Sooo tell me where are we getting married?
Sam hands andy a picture of a beautiful house with a stunning garden in the back.
Andy: Sam, it is beautiful...where did you find this? How did you find this?
Sam: Well, as much as I would like to take all the credit, Nash helped me.
Andy wraps her arms around Sam: How did I get so damn lucky?
Sam: I am pretty sure I am the lucky one. So...we can do it in 2 weeks...what do you think?
Andy: I think it is good that Oliver likes cake.
Sam: What?
Andy: We went cake tasting today...Oliver's idea. He is fulfilling his best man duties.
Sam: Of course he is...so what is it?
Andy: Red Velvet. So can we really do this? In 2 weeks?
Sam: Sweetheart, if there is anything I have learned in the past few years, it is that you and I can do anything. A wedding, that's nothing for us.
Sam kisses andy and she smiles at him
Sam: What?
Andy: We are getting married! In 2 weeks!
Sam: It cannot be soon enough. But we need to figure out who we are going to invite.
Andy: Well, our friends at work, my mom and dad, Sarah...what about your parents?
Sam: Well, given that my dad is in Jail that is not going to happen.
Andy: What about your mom?
Sam: I have not spoken to my mother in years. I rather she not be there. But I do want Sarah and her family there.
Andy: Good. A nice small wedding.
Sam: Sounds perfect to me. Alright, I am going to get dinner, you get the wine, we have some celebrating to do.
Andy smiles and gets the wine glasses, she can't help but wonder about Sam's mother. The thought occurs to her to try to get in touch with her. That thought was fleeting when she thought about being abandoned by her own mother, and how she never would have forgiven anyone sticking their nose in her business. She could not do the same thing to Sam. It was their day and it had to be perfect, she was not going to let anyone or anything get in the way of that.
What Andy didn't know, what she couldn't know was that Mary Swarek was on a bus bound for Toronto. Bound and determined to see her son...
