A/N: Here it is, the final chapter. I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has been along for the amazing ride that writing this story has been! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Til next time the voices decide to talk ...

They celebrated their 1st wedding anniversary by celebrating that the stick read PREGNANT.

Andy didn't know whether to be excited or scared to death at first, but Sam's assurance that she would be a wonderful mother calmed her fears.

They waited until after Andy's first trimester to tell anyone.

They gathered everyone at the Penny. They got a few strange looks when Sam wouldn't let them pour Andy a glass of draught and Liam set down what looked like a glass of ginger ale.

"Ok, you two, what's goin' on?" Traci looked at Andy, "Are you alright?"

"Sammy? Brother, are you alright?"

Sam laughed. "I'm fine.

Andy looked at Sam and smiled before responding to Traci. "I'm fine. But drinking is against the rules for the next little while."

When Andy caught a smell that didn't agree with her, everybody panicked. Sam took her outside to get some fresh air.

When they got back inside everybody looked at them, confused and concerned.

"Ok you two, out with it. What is goin' on? Andy?"

Andy was still trying to calm her stomach so it was Sam that said, "15s family is about to get a little bigger ..."

The cheers around the table had others turning to see what was going on and Liam rushing from behind the bar. "Everybody ok?"

"We are better than ok, Liam, there's a baby McSwarek on the way!"

"Actually, Trac, 'a baby' isn't exactly accurate since we're adding more than one ..."

"Twins?"

"Woo hoo! Way t'go, McNally!"

Sam and Andy laughed at Dov's reaction.

"Um, you guys do know these kids are gonna be spoiled rotten, right?"

Sam laughed. "Yeah, we know."

Even though it was early, the twins wore Andy out easily. They were thankful to be off the streets as Andy's pregnancy progressed. It saved Frank from putting her on desk.

Sam let her work as long as she could ... if she followed some rules. If she wasn't feeling well, she stayed home. If Sam had to go into the field she stayed at the barn. She followed them to the letter until the day Sam went into the field to get background on a suspect and ended up getting shot at.

Nobody dared to keep them apart if something happened before she was pregnant, the added hormones ...

"Where is he Frank?" Andy asked as she waddled into Frank's office.

"No."

"No, that wasn't Sam's voice over the radio calling for backup?"

"No, you're not goin' after him."

"Frank ..."

"Don't make me pull rank, Andy. Sammy would have my ass if I let you go out there less than a month away from your due date. Diaz is gonna take you home ..."

"No."

Frank ignored her protest. "Diaz is gonna take you home and you're gonna relax. I'll send Sammy home as soon as he comes in."

"And if he doesn't?"

"You heard his voice, he's fine."

"Nice try, Frank, he didn't say anything about being fine."

Frank opened the door and called for Chris.

"Yes sir?"

"Diaz, I want you to take McNally home. You're gonna stay there and make sure she doesn't chase after Swarek."

"Frank!"

"McNally, your job until Sam gets home is to take care of those babies ... got it?"

"Fine."

Andy was sitting on the couch looking at their wedding album when Chris heard the door. Turning, he saw Sam walk in. Sam nodded it was ok for him to go.

Sam knelt next to the couch. "Hey baby."

Andy looked up and whispered, "You're here."

"And you tried to break the rules."

Andy just shrugged as Sam got up and sat behind her pulling her back against him.

"You know you're gonna need a crane to get me up, right?"

Sam laughed and kissed the side of her neck. "You guys ok?"

"Yep, totally fine."

"Nice try, baby."

"Does being scared enough that I think I'm having contractions count as ok?"

Sam turned her so she was looking him. "You serious?"

"Uh, babe, I'm carryin' twins, there's not much room for a joke."

Sam got up from behind her and helped her off the couch and to the truck.

12hrs after they arrived at the hospital, Andrew Thomas and Samantha Lynn came into the world.

Andy was absolutely exhausted but refused to close her eyes until Sam got back from the waiting room telling their family and friends.

Sam walked back in and leaned against the doorframe smiling at the sight before him. As exhausted as she was, Andy was still the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen.

Andy turned sleepy eyes on Sam and held out her hand.

Sam kissed her cheek as he took her hand. He was about to sit down when she tugged on his hand. She didn't have to speak for him to know what she wanted. Kicking off his shoes he climbed in bed and let his wife curl up against him.

Her groggy, "Are you ok?" made him laugh. "You just gave birth to twins, McNally ..."

"Yeah, because you scared me into premature labor. Um, if we have more than those two, I'm makin' it a rule you can't scare me in my third trimester."

Sam laughed as he kissed her temple. "I'm fine baby, shots fired, but he was a shitty shot. Now, close your eyes, you just brought two of the most beautiful babies into the world and you need to sleep."

"Don't ..."

Sam kissed her temple again. "It's against the rules to leave my beautiful wife."

Sam thought he heard her mumble "look awful" as she finally quit fighting it and fell asleep.

Two days later both Andy and the twins were discharged and Sam took them home.

They were curled up on the couch with the twins sleeping in their car seat a couple days later. "Did we decide what we're doin' about leave?"

Sam hadn't even thought about it. "Since we both get it, I guess we just gotta figure out how we wanna do it."

"I think we both need to be home the first few months, so they get to know both of us, not just one."

Sam smiled. "I was thinkin' that too. Have you decided if you want the full year?"

"Honestly? We just brought them home, I wasn't even expecting them yet, so I haven't really thought about that yet."

Sam laughed. "Well, since they're here we kinda need to."

"How much time d'you want to take off?"

"How much time d'you want me to take off?"

"Babe, there's no rule about how much time you take."

"I know, that's why I asked how much you want me to take."

"I'm not gonna ask you to stay home with us longer than you want to ..."

"Yeah, because bein' home with you ..."

Andy laughed when the twins started to cry. "Uh, babe, I think that was your reminder it's not just me you're stayin' home with."

Sam laughed as he got up and went to check on them. "Ok, ok, Daddy got the hint."

Taking both of them back to the couch Andy took Drew while Sam kept Sami.

Andy leaned back against Sam's shoulder so Drew was laying on her chest.

"Ok, you two, you're not too young to learn the rules. Rule #1, interrupting Mommy and Daddy's couch time is against the rules!"

Andy laughed. "Really babe?"

Sam kissed her temple. "Yep."

They rewrote the rules as the twins got ready to celebrate their 1st birthday. It was no secret Sam adored his wife, but Sam the doting dad blew his friends away. Sami was daddy's girl but both kids had him wrapped around their finger. Andy had no room to talk because she was just as bad.

Looking at the twins with Sam at their birthday party Andy didn't understand how her mother walked away from her, because nothing or no one would ever make her leave them.

The 5th anniversary of Sam asking her to meet Sarah was approaching. The twins were old enough that they were both comfortable leaving them for a weekend. Sam called Sarah to let her know they were going down.

"Bringin' my adorable niece and nephew, little brother?"

"Nope. Babies are not part of the plan."

"Unless it's making ..."

"Let's just say we'll spend the weekend practicing ..."

Sarah laughed. "TMI, little brother, T ... M ... I."

"You brought it up."

"Isn't there a rule where we don't discuss our sex lives."

"Again, you brought it up so you broke it."

"Yeah, yeah, ok. Listen you guys are always welcome here, you know that."

"Thanks."

"What're ya doin' with the munchkins?"

"Still tryin' to figure that out."

"Why don't I take 'em for the weekend?"

"Uh, Sis, havin' them with us is against the rules ..."

Sarah laughed. "I meant, I'll go there, you come here."

"You sure?"

"Yep."

Sam smiled as Sami reached for him. Andy wrapped her arm around his waist. "Ok. We'll see you Friday after shift."

Sam disconnected and wrapped his arm around Andy before kissing both the kids on the cheek, they tried to giggle but yawned instead. Sam looked at them. "Nap time?"

Both heads of chestnut hair nodded.

Sam let go of Andy, holding his arm open for Drew. "C'mere buddy."

Drew shifted from Andy to Sam. "Alright you two, you know the rules, give Mommy a kiss."

It was the twins thing, one on each side and kissed at the same time.

When Sam came back downstairs they curled up on the couch.

"We got our babysitter for the weekend."

"We do?"

"Sarah's comin' into the city. She asked if we were takin' the twins, when I said no, I wanted a weekend alone with you she said she'd come babysit."

The twins were excited to see Sarah, not so excited to see Sam and Andy leave.

Sarah laughed at her brother as he hugged the twins. "You know the rules, right? No wild parties." The twins giggled and nodded. "Keep Aunt Sarah outta trouble." More giggles. "We'll call you at bedtime ok?" Both nodded. "Ok, what's Rule #1 when Mommy and Daddy say bye?"

"Hugses! Kisses! Of yous!"

Hugs, kisses and 'I love you's were exchanged and Sam and Andy left.

They spent the weekend much the same as that first weekend ... only without Sarah there they never left the swing. They had one rule for the weekend, it was the one they lived by ... they loved each other.
