"Hey will you stop cheating?" Andy screamed at Nick

"I'm not cheating? I'm not letting you win like I always do" Nick shot back at her with a smile

"Oh you are so going down Collins"

"You wish McNally" he came back.

"So I wanted to ask you something? But it stays between us okay?" Nick stared at Andy making sure she understood what he said.

"Yeah of course what is it?" Andy was intrigued now Nick never got this serious especially during their Wii dance tournament.

"Gail is she seeing anybody that you know? What's the history with her and Chris?" he asked

The house was silent Andy had paused the game she couldn't believe her ears and what Nick had just asked her. "You like Gail?" Andy screamed at him

"What I was just asking an okay yes I do okay it's out now" he said

"Gail Peck, Officer Gail Peck?"Andy asked over and over just to make sure what she was hearing was true.

"Yes why do you say it like that?" Nick says now regretting that it even came out

"We are talking about the same person right, Attitude having always in a bad mood Peck?" Andy asked him again.

"Hey don't judge the heart do I mess with you about your swooning over Swarek?" Nick gave her the serious face but he couldn't hold it for long.

"What do you mean I don't like Swarek" Andy tried to protest

"Please anybody can see just how crazy about him you are and he feels the same way" Nick told her and that caught her attention for sure could Nick be telling the truth?

"What do you mean he feels the same way? How can you tell?" Andy had turn to face him giving Nick her undivided attention.

"I guess you don't see the way he looks at you? Or how protective he is of you? Even the way he talks about you as well?" Nick tried explaining to her.

"Sam doesn't act that way about me? Besides we are partners that's why" Andy was telling Nick but was thinking at the same time could Sam Swarek really be interested in her and is she that blind that she is the only that doesn't see it?

"Andy seriously I like really heart her? I don't know what to do about it?" Nick confessed

"Just tell her Nick I'm pretty sure she would jump at the chance to be with you?" Andy told nick trying to reassure him not to be a chicken and just tell her. She felt like she should be taking her own advice she was giving Nick and use it on Sam cause she sure as hell heart Swarek.

"Wow Andy in the words of Usher we have got it bad" As nick held up his beer bottle to hers to toast to that.

…

The next morning at the station all Gail could talk about was how much fun they were going to have when their shift was over, which the guys were not to thrill to hear about.

"Hey where is Andy by the way?" Sam asked trying not to look so obvious that he looking for her, by checking the door every five minutes.

"Oh her and Nick had a very late night if you know what I mean?" Dov gave a little smirk.

Sam head turned back around to Dov he did not like what he just heard. No one caught Gail pained expression of Dov's little comment he made about the two. Sam wanted to hit or throw something, Jerry, Oliver and Tracy caught his expression of hurt about Andy and Nick. Just then Andy and Nick walked into the station and all eyes were on them.

"Do we have clothes on Andy? Because everybody is staring at us" Nick asked as he looked down at himself.

"Yes I do believe we got dressed this morning pickle brain" Andy shot a remark at him with a laugh

"Good morning you guys look beat?" Tracy told them as they approached everybody

"Yeah Dov gave us the story but you can keep the details to yourself" Gail told them in a very harsh voice as she walked off towards the locker room.

"What did she mean about that?" as Andy looked at her walk away "Me and dance fever over here stayed up all night with our Wii dance marathon that's all" Andy tried to explain

"Well Dov made it sound so much worse than that" as Tracy slapped him on his head

"So Sam heard that version to?" Andy looked for confirmation from Tracy

"Yes just explain it to him when you guys go on patrol together or otherwise you will be late for parade if you don't change?" Tracy started pulling her towards the locker room

She mouthed to Nick that she would fix it with Gail so that he would not have to worry, because after their talk last night they didn't need anything or one in their way of finally telling the two people they heart the Andy finished getting ready for duty she pulled Gail to the side to tell her that nothing had happened with her and Nick. Gail just brushed it off as if she didn't care but Andy did catch her smiling as she walked out of the locker room. That moment there confirmed for her that she felt the same way for nick as he did for her. Now all she had to do is some damage control for her and Sam so that they could have happily ever after.

"Hey Andy did you get to tell her?" Nick asked anxiously

"Yes I did and I must add she feels the same way about you" Andy smiled at him. Before Andy knew it Nick had pick her up in a bear hug very happy about what she just told him. He put her down very quickly and had a deer caught in the headlights look on his face. Andy turned in the direction he was looking to see Sam standing there to witness everything that had just occurred.

"Sorry Andy I just got a little carried away? Let me go fix it like you did for me?" he begged her

"No Nick I got this let me handle Sam Swarek?" She told him. Dreading walking into the parade room to his angry look but she also saw hurt in his stare. Frank didn't keep them long in parade he was eager to get the shift over as well so he and Noelle can begin their special weekend. Andy rushed to the coffee machine to make the two cups of coffee for her and Sam to try and butter him up.

"Andy McNally lets go our shift have started" Sam yelled at her as he walked pass her on his way to the squad car.

"Andy McNally" what the hell he never calls her by her full name? Andy stood there talking to herself but she said it herself when she explains everything will change, so she headed to the car. As they pulled out to start their patrol she could see he was irritated.

"Sam look about earlier?" she was cut off by Sam.

"Look I don't want to hear about you and Nick little slumber party alright" he said in a very harsh tone

"Hey you don't have to yell at me alright!" Andy old him

Who is yelling? I am just simply stating I care not to hear" Sam told her

"Wow you can be a real jerk sometimes Sam and if you would just let me talk you can hear that nothing happened with us Nick is not who I want?" Andy yelled back as she got out the car to respond to call they just got over the radio.

Sam knew he had messed up once he heard what she had been trying to tell him. His mind flash to the part when she said Nick is not who she want? Than whom does she want? He was so hoping it was him but he knows he probably just messed that chance up Sam got out the car to help Andy with the call when everything was resolved Sam stopped Andy from getting in the car.

"Look McNally I am sorry I overreacted earlier I didn't get to eat anything this morning my blood sugar must be low or something?" Sam gave her the dimples trying to ease the tension between them.

"Whatever Sam can we just finish the day so I can leave on my trip?" Andy turned to get in the car she didn't want Sam to see the tear roll down her cheek. The rest of the shift seem to go by fast which was great for Andy and sucked for Sam because Andy would be leaving soon and she was still clearly mad at him. When they made it back to 15 Gail, Sue, Zoe and Tracy was waiting on her.

"Hey Andy put a pep in your step so we could get this show on the road will ya!" Gail yelled at her as she walked in the locker room.

"Gail can I talk to you for a moment please?" Nick asked

"Yes what's up Nick?"

"When you get back from your trip I was hoping we can sit down and talk over drinks?" he asked

"Okay what about?" Gail ask

"Don't worry about that until you get back, just enjoy yourself" Nick told her as he stepped closer to her and placed a soft kiss on her cheek. Gail grinned from ear to ear. Sam caught the encounter between the two and realized that it was Gail and not Andy the whole time. He had to talk to her before she left. Andy was coming out of the locker room with her bag when she heard the ladies

"Let's go McNally let's start the weekend" they yelled at her.

"Andy can I talk to you please before you go?" Sam asked hoping she would hear him out.

"Sam I have to go they are waiting on me, besides I don't want to fight with you anymore" Andy folded her arms and Sam knew this was his chance to make her listen.

"Look about earlier I am sorry for jumping down your throat it's just that when I thought that you and nick...?" Sam paused he couldn't get the words out.

"What Sam?" Andy asked him as she stepped a little closer. Sam just couldn't get the words to come out and he saw Andy getting frustrated.

"Look I've got to go okay Sam I will talk to you when I get back" Andy turned to walk away when Sam grabbed her arm and said

" I am going to miss you Andy not as a partner or a friend I can't stop thinking about you and when I thought you and Nick had spent the night together, I was jealous because I wish it was me that was waking up next to you?" Sam just stood there waiting on her to answer but before she could say anything the girls had come and pulled her away from him saying it was time to go. That she could talk to Sam Swarek after the trip.
