Thanks for the reviews everyone. With work, moving and weather, this took me awhile to get done. Not sure if I like the direction or not.

Rated T,

I do not own Rookie Blue, but if I did…..

Chris arrived an hour later to sit with Andy. He greeted her with a big hug and told her he had his tablet loaded with lots of Aps for Andy to play. Sam kissed Andy on her forehead and told her he would see her later. He headed back to the station to wrap stuff up and head over to Andy's.


Sam walked into the station and started to go to Frank's office. Before he could get up there, Oliver stood in front of him to stop him.

"Brother, you don't want to go up there. He stormed in here and he is out for blood." Oliver motioned towards Frank's office.

Sam looked up and saw Luke standing two inches from Frank's face, beat red and looking like he was going start screaming.

"I think I need to get in there," Sam picked up his pace and made a beeline for the office. Oliver hot on his heals. Marlo beat him to the door and opened it just as Luke started screaming.

Marlo rushed to get between Luke and Frank, while Oliver grabbed Luke. Luke was continuing to scream.

"I want her in here now. She is going to give her statement, I will be sitting next to her and make sure she get is correct. I will not get blown off because that little Bitch thinks she is better than me. She didn't do what she was told and I will win this. I am head of this task force, what I say goes."

Frank watched as Sam, Oliver and Marlo backed Luke up to the wall. Frank took a deep breath, "I am not going to let you intimidated her into to doing what you want. She may be down right now but we all have her back."

Luke scoffed, "Is that right Sammy boy? You got her back after she destroyed your career and life?"

Sam backed up shaking his head, as much as he wanted to punch Luke right now he needed a moment, "You are not dragging me into this, you created your own mess, you get to deal with it. "

Luke glared at him, "I can't believe you are going to allow her to take another good detective down. First Boyd, she took you down and now me. What the hell?"

Sam clenched his fist and punched Luke right in the jaw. He had had enough this trying to be calm, trying to be nice about Andy leaving and now being back, trying to win her back, watching her interactions with Nick, now hearing Luke, he had had enough. All the frustration, all the anger, Sam just wailed a couple of more punches letting all his frustration out on Luke and his jaw before Oliver and Frank had Sam pinned up against the wall with Marlo holding Luke still against the opposite wall. Luke started to dive back at Sam. At this point, Oliver turned towards Luke and took out his ASP, took one swipe at Luke's leg and down Luke went. Luke started wailing on the floor, rolling holding his leg.

Oliver turned to Sam, "That felt good."

Frank shouted at Luke "Shut up or I will have Oliver taser you."

Luke just laid on the floor at this point.

Frank looked at Marlo, "Get a medic in here."

Frank turned to Oliver, "Both of you get out now. I will deal with this. Sam go home. I don't want to see you near here for two days. Oliver your shift is over, go home."

Oliver and Sam straightened themselves up and left the office and headed to out of the station. Marlo was not far behind them.

Noelle walked in with the medic, "Frank, you ok."

"Yeah, I think I will be ready for anything our daughter throws at us when she is older, I am getting all my practice now with these yokels."

Noelle chuckled and both of them set out of the room while the medic looked at look. "Just remember, you can't fix stupid."

Frank smiled at her, "That is my new favorite line."

The medic came out, "He is just bruised and he will be fine."

Frank squeezed Noelle's hand and walked back into his office, "Luke get up off my floor, go home and do not report back here unless you're told too. Understand?"

"Fine," with that Luke stormed out.


Sam got to Andy's and sat in his truck. Is this what he really wanted? Did he really want all this on his plate again, the frustration, the fighting, the craziness that his life was before she left, before they broke up. God, he loved her but all he could think of was he ready for this? Was he scared or just plain mad at her for the last 7 month. Before he could gather himself he heard a tap on the window.

Sarah must have seen him sitting in the truck and walked down to the truck and tapped on the window. Sam broke from his gaze, he opened the truck window, "You ready for me to take you to get some dinner or do you want me to bring it back?"

"I am still trying to get the rest of the stuff done, will need your help, can you just pick something up and bring it back? I have a list for the fridge. But first, you ok?"

"Yeah, I am fine. I just needed a moment to collect myself. Bring me down the list and I will go get dinner and food for the fridge."

"Thank you, oh and the Berries came, flowers are here to. It is all going to work out, I promise. I realize your gun shy after everything but it will all work out. My only question to you is, is this what you really want because it seems your starting to over think this."

"I will be fine."

"Really, you know DEFCON 1 is the highest state of defense readiness in the US, more commonly know in our house as "I am fine."!" Sarah just grinned at him while saying it.

Sam smirked, "How about I will be ok."

With that Sarah headed into the house to get the list, she then came back out, gave him the list and a kiss on the cheek. "I know you love her, you just have to ask yourself, is that enough for you. Because you deserve to be loved whether you like it or not."

Sam smirked at her, "I will be ok, it was a rough day at the office and this is overwhelming."

"I know Sam but what is that line you always tell me? Oh yeah, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, or in your case what doesn't kill me better run like hell, because when I get up, its on." She had a big grin on her face watching his expression.

Sam did a full out laugh. "Thanks, I will be back."


Sam came back an hour later with take out and Sarah's shopping list for the fridge. As he walked into the house, he could smell the clean in the air. The house smelled great. The food, the flowers, the fresh air coming into the house and the sun pouring into the windows made Sam smile. So this is what Sarah did when she knew he was coming home. He always came home to these smells from all his OPS. Now he knew what she did for him every time and he appreciated it greatly.

Sam walked into the kitchen; Sarah was humming and finishing putting the rest of the food in the freezer. Sam put the bags down on the counter. "The only thing they did not have was your red pears. I got everything else."

"Thanks Sam. After we eat, I will start cutting up the veges, fruits and such. They make any easier snack if they are already cut up and just in the fridge to pick out a container and eat it. "

"Your amazing."


Sam and Sarah finished eating, Sarah continued on into the kitchen and Sam went to get Andy's sheets out of the dryer. He put them on the bed, got her pillows fluffed and looked around the room. He smiled to himself, all he could think was I can do this.

Sam walked back into the kitchen and helped Sarah finish all the fruits and veges. He noticed that Sarah had also made containers of Jello and pudding. He smiled, all easy food; that is what Andy needed when she got home. Sarah always thought of everything and that is why he called her for help.

When they were finally finished it was eight. Sam helped Sarah clean up, they closed all the windows, grabbed the trash and locked up the house. They went home ready to get some sleep and take on a new day.
