Chapter 5:

A few hours later Andy wakes up to another soft knock on her door. She notices Sam has now fallen asleep and at some point he had pulled her throw blanket around her.

He is so sweet and caring. She thinks.

She mutes the TV and goes to the door.

She looks out the peep hole and sees Luke.

She opens it.

"Hey Luke, Now is not really a good…" She says quietly.

He pushes in gently and pulls her to him and gives her a big kiss.

She shoves him off.

"Luke! No. Go home. You're drunk."

"I'm not drunk babe" He slurs.

"Weren't you at a crime scene?" She asks. She can smell lavender on him along with scotch.

Sam wakes up but pretends to still be sleeping.

"I… Andy…"

"Stop! Luke… were you with someone else?"

He hesitates. "Andy… we…"

"No. Yes or no… were you with another woman tonight?"

He licks his lip. "Yes."

"Get out!"

"No… listen… it was an old partner… we were working on a case and things got out of hand. I didn't sleep with her."

"STOP! Did you want to?"

"Uh…"

"Get out. We are done."

Luke steps towards the couch. He notices Sam.

"Ohh… and you and your partner… just friends huh?"

"Yes! He came over because he knew I was irritated with YOU blowing me off AGAIN."

"Damnit Andy… he just wants to get in your pants."

Andy is pissed.

"Just like you? Get out Luke. As of right now, we are broken up. We are done!"

Luke leaves and slams the door loudly on his way out.

Andy sighs and locks the door behind him.

"Andy... are you okay?" Sam asks.

Andy spins around.

"Oh shit… how much of that did you hear?"

He sits up and pats the spot on the couch next to him.

Andy sinks down on the couch.

"I heard it all McNally."

She sighs.

Sam pulls her to him.

"It's going to be okay. He is an idiot."

Andy stares at Sam.

"How do I have a baby with him Sam? Or how do I do this alone Sam?"

Sam rubs her back up and down.

"Andy McNally… You are not alone. You have a lot of people to help you and support you. I will support you and help you."

Andy is overwhelmed by her emotions and possibly her new pregnancy hormones.

"Sam…"

She leans up and kisses his lips. A soft tender kiss.

Sam is surprised and pulls back.

"Andy…"

"No… just stop thinking and show me how you feel. Please? I need to know if you…"

He cuts her off with a passionate kiss and pulls her onto his lap.

Andy wraps her arms around his neck and puts her legs on either side of his and she pulls herself closer to him.

He stops her again.

"Andy… I… I don't want to screw this up. I care about you very much."

Andy slides off his lap and cuddles into his side.

"It's okay Sam. I care about you too. We don't have to do anything. Will you stay with me tonight?"

"I'm not sure if that's a good idea."

"I know… but I'd like you to. I don't want to be alone."

Sam sighs and against his better judgement agrees. "Okay McNally, but you should sleep."

Andy stands up and pulls him into her bedroom with her.

She pulls her covers back and gets in bed.

Sam hesitates and then follows. He has had many thoughts of being in McNally's bed but none of those thoughts were like this.

Andy lays her head on his chest.

"Thanks Sam. I'm glad you are my friend."

Sam frowns and lets out a sigh.

"Goodnight McNally."

"Goodnight Sam."

As she settles and falls into a deep sleep Sam thinks about her words. Am I friendzoned again? She was kissing me and then I had to say that… maybe she just doesn't know. She better not go back to Callaghan though. Well she is carrying his baby…. Hmm… I wonder what she will do next.
