AN: I do not own Rookie Blue! Enjoy!
Chapter 29
"So how was your date?" Andy asked Chloe, watching as the rookie unloaded her gun after shift the following day.
"It was good," Chloe replied, "He was a perfect gentleman."
"What did you do?" Andy asked.
"He took me out for dinner and then we went to see a movie," Chloe said as she stowed her weapon in her gun locker, "It was nice actually. I'm glad he asked me."
"Good," Andy said with a smile, "I'm happy for you. Do you think you'll go out with him again?"
"Hopefully," Chloe replied, "Hey Williams," she said as Noelle entered the room.
"Price, McNally," Noelle said with a nod, "There is nothing I hate more on this job than getting peed on," she said as she began to unload her weapon.
"Oh, gross," Chloe cringed.
"Very," Noelle said in agreement, "Oh, McNally, the boss wants to see you in his office before you head out tonight."
"Oh, okay, thanks," Andy said, "Have a good night Noelle. See you both tomorrow." She walked out to the bullpen and made her way towards Frank's office.
"Andy," came Sam's voice from behind her, causing her to turn.
"Hey," Andy said with a warm smile as he walked towards her from the locker room door.
"Are we still going to get drinks at the Penny?" he asked.
"That's the plan," Andy said, "Frank wants to talk with me first though, so you can go ahead and I'll meet you there?"
"Sure," Sam said, wrapping an arm around her easily and pulling her into a one armed hug, "See you soon."
Andy smiled at him before she turned and made her way to Frank's office. She knocked on the glass door and he looked up from his computer screen and smiled when he saw her, waving her in with his free hand.
"You wanted to see me?" Andy asked as she stepped into the office.
"I did," Frank said, "Please, take a seat."
Andy did as she was told and looked at the Staff Sargent across his desk, "What did you want to see me about?" she asked.
"I wanted to check up on how you were doing," Frank said, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm good," Andy said, "Much better now that I'm back at work."
"Good," Frank nodded, "I wanted to hear from you regarding when you expect to be back to full duty," he said.
"As soon as you can put me in the rotation," Andy said, "No offense sir, but I like being a cop, not a cop's secretary."
Frank let out a laugh. I know what you mean McNally," he said.
Andy smiled. "So when would you be able to put me back on the streets?" Andy asked.
"I can put you on for Monday," Frank said, flipping through some papers on his desk, "Providing you complete a follow up appointment with a doctor who is able to clear you."
"Of course," Andy nodded.
"I don't think I will have you ride with Price yet, just for safety reasons. You will be with a more experienced officer for your first week back at least, if that's alright with you."
"That's fine sir," Andy said with a nod.
"Good," Frank said, "And now, speaking of Price. I know that you know that the rookie evaluations are coming up soon."
"Yes sir," Andy said.
"I just wanted to touch base on how Chloe has been with you," Frank said, "Her attitude, approach to police work, skills, etcetera."
"From what I've seen, she has good instincts," Andy said after a moment of thought, "She's shown great improvement with her confidence and her abilities, and I don't have any doubts that she could be a great cop someday very soon," Andy finished with a nod.
Frank smiled proudly. "I'm glad," he said. He turned a file folder towards Andy and flipped it open. "These are the forms you need to fill in about Price for her evaluation. Officer Shaw already filled in the forms about her early training while you were undercover with Collins, but everything else is for you to complete."
"Okay," Andy said.
"Any questions you have about the paperwork, you can come to me or any of the other T.O's," Frank said.
"Absolutely," Andy said, flipping through the forms. She shut the folder. "Is that everything?" she asked.
"One more thing," Frank said, clasping his hands on his desk.
"Mhm?" Andy asked.
"You and Swarek," he said.
"Yes?" Andy asked.
"I know I don't have to remind you that you need to keep it professional at work," Frank said with a slow nod, "Just be smart about it, alright?"
Andy nodded to show that she understood.
"That should be good," he said, tapping on his desktop, "Have a good night McNally. See you tomorrow."
Andy smiled and pushed herself to her feet. "Thank you sir," she said.
She crossed the office to the door and was just raising her hand to the handle when Frank spoke again, "Oh, Andy," he said.
"Yes sir?" Andy asked, turning to look at the Staff Sargent.
"I'm really happy with your growth as a cop," he said, "You've made great progress since you were a rookie."
Andy couldn't help the small smile that crossed her lips. "Thank you," Andy said again before she pulled open the door and exited his office. She made her way towards the women's locker room and entered to find it almost empty.
She stood at her locker and was getting changed out of her uniform into a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt when she heard sniffling coming from the bathroom area. She pushed her feet into her shoes and walked towards the noise. "Gail?" Andy asked as she rounded the corner.
The blonde looked up from where she was leaning on the counter. She quickly grabbed something off of the counter and pushed it into the back pocket of her jeans as she wiped tears off her cheeks with her other hand.
"Gail, what's the matter?" Andy asked as she approached the blonde, "Did you get sick again?"
"I thought I was alone," Gail said, shaking her head, "Sorry."
"Why are you crying?" Andy asked, her tone concerned.
"I'm not crying," Gail said, "It's-"
"I swear to God, if you say its allergies…" Andy rolled her eyes, "What's the matter?"
Gail chewed on her bottom lip, her gaze focused on her hands on the counter. She tapped her fingers on the countertop and then looked up at Andy. "Do you promise not to tell anyone?" she asked.
"Gail," Andy said exasperatedly, "What's going on?"
The blonde reached into her back pocket and pulled out a small white plastic stick. She handed it to Andy and the brunette looked down at the item. Her eyes shot up to meet Gail's after a long frozen moment.
"You're pregnant?"
AN: OOOH! To the one guest reviewer who asked if Gail was pregnant waayyy back when she got sick in the alley behind CB's, chapters and chapters ago, you were correct! Props to the people who called it! Haha. Now I'm not entirely sure where to go with the pregnancy storyline, so let me know what you think should happen in your reviews!
I am sorry that there wasn't a lot of Sam and Andy in this chapter, but I needed to write this to keep it going along. There should be a lot more McSwarek in the next few chapters!
Let me know what you thought! =)
Have a great days guys!
