A week from today will be an exact year that Andy and Sam had officially became a couple, Andy sat and thought as she watched Sam, Oliver, and Jerry all stood taking a picture with Tracy for her and Jerry's wedding album.

It had been a beautiful wedding ceremony, her best friend was officially Mrs. Jerry Barber and it suited her so well. Andy doesn't remember ever crying so much in her life but seeing two people in love like Tracy and Jerry just brought it out of her.

"Earth to Andy it's your turn for your picture" Tracy grabbed her hand pulling her to her feet to join her, Jerry, and Sam.

"This one I just want the best man and the maid of honor" Tracy told the photographer

"Yes you come stand right next to me beautiful" Sam pulled Andy into a very loving embrace. The photographer snaps the picture which truly captured the McSwarek love for one another.

"You guys make a beautiful couple hopefully we will be attending your ceremony sometime soon? A fellow officer commented. Sam suddenly said "Well I hope you have plans to keep busy? Because that's like wow a long time off?" he said laughing

Andy heard what he said and her smile dropped off her face. She didn't like the comment Sam had just said. Andy knew they haven't been together a year yet but she surely thought that the way she felt about Sam he sure as hell felt about her? But was she wrong to think that knowing from what she just heard that Sam had no plans on getting married.

"Tracy how about we go powder our nose?" Andy asked and Tracy knew that Andy needed to vent.

"Sure I think I can go try to re-beautify myself?" she said laughing

"You don't need it Mrs. Barber you have truly perfected beautiful" as he placed a kiss on her lips

"Oh get a room you two?" Oliver came up behind Jerry saying

"Oh I am ready for that? How about you Mrs. Barber?" he yelled at Tracy as Andy pulled her towards the ladies room.

As Andy was pulling her towards the ladies room, Tracy managed to get Zoe, Sue, and Gail's attention so they could follow her. They came in right behind her and Sue locked the door.

"What's going on? What's the emergency?" Sue asked

"Oh Andy just over reacting to Sam's comment about marriage" Tracy explained

"What did bone head say this time?" Gail asked

"He doesn't want to get married what am I supposed to do with that? I thought we were going somewhere?" Andy begin to cry

"Wow I was surprised that you two lasted this long? Because I never saw Sam as the marrying type" Gail gave her opinion

"See even Gail noticed how didn't I see this? Am I that blinded about love I over looked everything? God knows I love that man with everything I have in me" she told them

"Look stop panicking he never told you he didn't want to marry you right? So stop jumping to conclusion? That man loves you and it's the happiest I have ever seen him and I have known Sam a long time" Zoe told her

"Yes Andy if you feel that way just talk to him? Don't get yourself bent out of shape over something that is not an issue sweetie" As Sue gave her a hug. That's why Andy love talking to her girls they always put stuff in perspective for her before she takes herself over that crazy girlfriend drama cliff.

"Thanks ladies I needed this talk you ladies always have my back when I need it" Andy told them as she cleaned herself up before she went back there.

The ladies returned to the reception and enjoyed the rest the time that was left before Jerry and Tracy left for their honeymoon. It felt like a long ride home and Sam couldn't understand why Andy was being so quiet. He just thought maybe she was tired because they did have a long day.

As they pulled into Sam's driveway Andy had fell asleep so Sam walked over to her side and took her in his arms and carried her into the house.

"I could not wait to get you home all day so I could get to do this?" as he begin to unzip her dress and place small kisses down her back. Once her dress fell to the floor Andy turned around to face him.

"You are perfect I can't get enough of you" as he pulled her closer to him as he begins to kiss her. How could she live without this man she wanted this every day and only he could give it to her. She didn't want to ruin the mood so she kept her questions to herself that night. No doubts, questions nothing existed but she and Sam in that moment except that Andy McNally fell deeper in love with Sam Swarek.

The next morning as they sat eating breakfast Andy got up the nerve to talk to Sam about his comment.

"Sam? How do you feel about marriage?"

"It's a beautiful thing if you can make it work?" he said not looking up from the paper he was reading.

"Is it something you see yourself doing in the future?"

"I'm not the marrying type I don't see it in my future" still looking at his paper

"So what is this with us? Where is it going nowhere?" as she snatched the paper out of his hands

"Why are you so upset? It's like we are already married? We just skipped the church and headed straight for the honeymoon" he said laughing

"This is not a joke to me Sam? I thought I was important enough that maybe you see me as the person you can spend the rest of your life with?" she yelled at him

"Please Andy you are blowing this way out? I can't help it? I've seen too many people go through the hurt and I told myself I would not put myself through it?" he tried to explain

"So I am not worth it you are telling me? Not even to take a chance on to see? So this all most year is worth nothing? So what you are telling me is that I am just your fuck buddy?" as she started grabbing her stuff throwing it in a bag.

"I didn't say that Andy I love you and you know that you have to?" as he walked over to her trying to get her to stop packing her bag. He grabbed her hands so she would listen to him.

"I love you Andy do you hear me?"

"Yes just enough to screw me but not enough to marry me? I feel so special" and she pulled away from him and walked out the door.

So it had been about four days that Andy and Sam had spoken to each other without getting into an argument. Sam hated be without her he was so miserable. He tried not to show it but everyone knew. He was trying g to give her time to cool off before he tried again to win her back.

"Tracy? Have you seen Andy? Sam stood there with a sad little boy look on his face.

"She has already left on her shift with Nick, sorry Sam" she placed a hand on his shoulder

"Okay thank you I guess I will catch her later?"

"Tracy? Please help me here nothing I do helps? What can I do? I miss her so much" Sam unloaded on her. Tracy could only stand there and look and feel sorry for him because she knows he was miserable without her.

"So things not better with you and Sam yet?" Nick asked

"Nope and I just don't understand it either?"

"Maybe you two need to just sit down and hash it out? Everything out on the table" Nick suggested

"We have done that already what else can be said? He doesn't want to marry he just don't see a future with me" she turned to look out the window and Nick knew the conversation was over. He did not want to push but his friend was hurting.

Their shift went by what seem like very quick and they were heading back to the barn.

"So are we heading to the penny for a drink?"

Andy still just sat and looked out the window "No I believe I will go home I'm tired.

"Andy?" nick called her name as she got out the cruiser. Andy headed straight to the locker room because she was avoiding Sam. It hurt too much to see him and not be with him. How did everything get messed up? She could have bet her life that she and Sam was the endgame.

"Hey Andy everything okay sweetie?" Tracy asked her

"No, so I am going to go home I just want to be alone" she told her

"Do you know if Sam is still here?"

"No he left early today he was not himself? He misses you" Tracy told her as she wrapped her arms around her and gave her a hug. She knew that it wouldn't help with the pain but she wanted her to know she was there for her.

"I miss him to so much it just hurts so bad Tracy do you think I am over reacting?"

"No this is how you feel, and you want it all and who doesn't? Yes you guys are great together and I have my fingers crossed for you two?" Tracy told her

"Okay I will see you tomorrow Tracy" Andy said as she walked out the locker room.

Nick, Gail, Jerry, Oliver, Tracy, Chris, and Dov all stood outside the locker rooms and watched Andy as she walked out the station and they were all worried about her and their friend Sam.

"Is she going to be alright?" Oliver asked

"She will be fine besides Andy is a fighter and so is Sam" as she winked at Oliver as they headed to the penny.

Andy decided to walk home so she could clear her head. All was running through her mind was Sam and what he said. Tears started to fall down her cheek her heart ached so bad, all she wanted was for Sam to hold her and let her know all was going to be okay because they would be together?

Andy had made it home she was contemplating on whether to call Sam or not? So she decided to go in and get comfortable first. As she walked through the door she had to take a second look to make sure she was in the right apartment. Red and white roses everywhere and Sam Swarek down on one knee holding a little black velvet box with a beautiful ring inside.

Andy was stunned she was lost for words. "Andy I know I have been a jerk and I am probably the last person you want to see? He said still down on one knee.

**** Sam's Proposal****

Sam: my whole life I thought I was fulfilled with what life had handed me but until June 24, 2010 did I realize I only just begun to live and see life totally differently and that was because of you the day I met you. I breathe for you, I live for you, and I belong to you. You are my world and I want to spend the rest of your life showing you that our love is why books and fairies tales are written. I love you Andy McNally and I want to spend eternity with you so will do me the honor of becoming my wife?

Andy stood there with tears fallen and she walked over to Sam and said "yes Sam yes I will marry you!"

Sam took Andy in his arms and kissed her so passionately that you thought the room would set on fire. Sam pulled away and placed the ring on her finger where it would stay always.
