Note: Not that I needed to start a new story but I have so leave me a review and let me know what you think.
Chapter 1:
Andy and Sam were patrolling together. Life with Sam and Andy had gotten back to a routine after the trip to Sudbury. He still didn't love the fact she was with Callaghan but he just wanted her to be happy. She feels happy with Luke but she has a new problem and she really wants help or advice or just to talk to Sam about it but she's also afraid it might be too personal and inappropriate or something worse.
"Wanna share what you are overthinking about over there McNally?" Sam asked after almost an hour of silence which was not the usual for her.
"I um… have some things… I'm thinking about." She said vaguely.
"Obviously… wanna share them?" He tried again. He wouldn't push her too much but he was surprised to realize he missed her chatter today.
"Sam, Can we pull over somewhere?"
"Sure…"
He did as she asked and turned and stared at her. She looked tired. Puffy circles under her eyes. She was going through something and he wanted… no needed… to help her.
"What's up Andy?"
Him using her first name calmed her for some reason and she half smiled.
"I have a problem. Well… I think I have a problem. I'm not sure… and then again it might not even be a problem."
He just shakes his head… "What?"
"Sam, I… this is about Luke… it's personal and I'm not even sure this is appropriate for me to discuss with you. I want to. I just… I don't want to cross any lines here."
"Andy… We are friends right? That's what you said. I am here for you. If Callaghan has hurt you I'll ki…"
"No. He hasn't hurt me… well… physically. "
She tried to cut him off before he could threaten his life.
"Physically? So he has hurt you… emotionally?"
Sam was still ready to kill him!
"Um… No… I didn't mean it like that either. He hasn't hurt me in any way I just think he might…"
"WHAT?"
"No. Wait." Andy was struggling and she could practically see Sam's blood pressure rising.
"I'll kill him…"
"Damnit Sam that still didn't come out right. Hang on." She sighs and tries again.
"Okay… here it is…I think… I may be pregnant. I'm not sure… I haven't taken a test and I just don't know how he will take that news."
Sam is floored! He covers his shock pretty well but she saw it.
"Now, I'm not even sure how you just took the news" she whispers and looks away.
"I uh… Andy… are you okay? I mean should I say congratulations here?"
She turns back to him. She wonders if she should just tell him everything…
"No. not yet… I don't know. I just. I'm 2 weeks late, nauseated almost all day, my boobs are tender and I am extra emotional. I feel like those are all telling me what I fear… no. Damnit fear isn't the right word for this. I'm confused, sure. Scared, yes. I just feel like I'm not ready… I'm 25…I… Sam is it horrible that I don't think I want to be pregnant with Luke's baby?" She whispered the last three words so softly he almost didn't hear.
Sam didn't know what to think. All of those signs certainly spelled out pregnant to him. But Andy pregnant with Luke Callaghan's baby was not something he wanted. And she just said that too…
"Uh, Andy. I think I am in shock here, let me try to focus…. I don't think anything you are feeling is horrible but why don't we go somewhere and get you a test so you can find out?"
Ah, Sam. Her rock solid voice of reason. Told her what she needed.
"I'm scared to take a test."
"Well… I can't do it for you but I'm here." He said. She giggled.
"Okay… I guess I need to buy a pregnancy test… first time for everything I guess."
"I guess…" He said too. The truth was, he himself had bought 1 box right after he got out of the academy. His girlfriend at the time had scared the living shit out of him when she announced she was late for her period and needed to take a test. Thankfully negative but a scary night for Sam. Now he was going to be here for Andy through her scary time.
