A/N: Hi guys! I'm sad to say that we've reached the end of this story. As much as I would want to continue writing this, I don't want to risk it because it would be too long already and I might mess it up and it would end up boring. So for now, I'm gonna put an end to it. But maybe I might make part 2 in the future if inspiration hits me.

A shout of thanks to everybody who read and reviewed and who continued to support me. You guys are the best! And the number one reason why I didn't give up on this story :D

NothatRose: thank you for your very lengthy review! Yes, it did make me very, very happy (big, silly smile while reading). I have some thoughts as to what I should write next so let's hope I can come up with something good :D

I DO NOT OWN ROOKIE BLUE

Andy could feel the warm sunlight on her face. She turned around and reached out to the other side of the bed, expecting to hug Sam, but all she got was the pillow. She brought the pillow closer to her and covered her face.

She was too sleepy to mind, but usually Sam stayed in bed and would look at her lovingly, memorizing every detail of her face, as if he still doesn't memorize it, until she woke up. He'd give her a soft kiss and they'd spend a couple of minutes just enjoying each other's embrace. She loved that he was the last thing she saw before she slept at night and the first thing she would see when she woke up in the morning. But lately, she'd been waking up alone. He would either be cooking breakfast or dressing Liv. But he did those things even when they had those little minutes to themselves. She couldn't help but wonder why the sudden change. Did he get tired of her already?

Andy was half awake when she heard the door click open. She waited for Sam to give her the morning kiss she had been waiting for, but instead felt bouncing beside her. Liv excitedly pulled the pillow off her face and gave her a big sloppy kiss on the cheek with Liv's long, black hair tickling her face.

"Mommy! Mommy! Wake up!" Liv shook her vigorously until she opened her eyes.

"Good morning, pumpkin." She pulled Liv in a tight embrace and started to tickle the little girl. The room was filled with lively laughter, the two of them rolling in the sheets.

"Mommy! Stop. It." Liv said in between laughs. Andy stopped tickling and started fixing the bed after giving Liv a kiss on the forehead.

"Mommy, are you forgetting something?" She looked hopefully at Andy.

"Hmmmm…I don't think so. Am I?" Andy put her finger on her head, showing Liv that she was thinking really hard.

"It's my birthday today!"

"That's right, baby!"

"Do I get a present?" Liv stood up and started jumping on the queen sized bed, messing up what Andy just fixed.

"Only if you can count your age on your fingers."

"I can! One…t-t-two…twee!" Liv showed Andy her fingers and pointed to her thumb, index finger and middle finger while she counted.

"That's right!" Andy reached down under the bed and got something big and heavy. She placed it on the bed and saw Liv's eyes go wide.

"What is it, mommy? It's heavy!"

"Why don't you open it to find out?"

Liv excitedly tore the wrapping paper and a big smile came across her face. It was a very big picture story book with a lot of stories and pictures in it.

"Do you like it?"

"I like it mommy! Now you and daddy can come read me a story every night." Liv jumped off the bed and ran to the door.

"I can't wait to tell daddy!" Andy smiled after Liv had left and started fixing the messed up bed.

It had been two years since Andy came up to Sam and kissed him in the cemetery beside his sister's grave, yet she could clearly remember every little detail of that day. It had been full of drama, but she was positively sure that Sam was what she wanted even though she had promised herself not to down that path again. She was right to go down that road. It was the best two years of her life. Of course, her life with Sam was like a roller coaster ride. Everything wasn't perfect. They'd had lots of fights, but making up was always the best part.

Andy smiled and felt tingly inside at the memory of the past two years. And she was happy, she really was, but she had a weird feeling about something. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but there it was, that nagging feeling. Sam had been acting weird for a couple of days already and it wasn't like him to keep something from her. All sorts of thoughts popped in her mind about him finding someone new or falling out of love or just losing interest in her. But she didn't push him. She knew he'd tell her in the right time.

She headed down to the kitchen where she knew she would find Sam. Liv was at the table eating some of the pancakes that Sam had cooked. He was still frying the bacon so he didn't notice Andy in the kitchen. Andy walked toward him and hugged him from behind. She felt him jump a little.

"Hey babe, you startled me." He turned around and gave Andy a quick kiss.

"Jumpy much? That is so unlike you, Sam."

"I just have a lot on my mind lately."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"No, don't worry about it. It's nothing."

She let go of Sam, paranoia eating her up inside. 'He's definitely keeping something from me. But what? Okay, don't over analyze again, Andy. Just focus on the good things…like Liv!'

"Mommy, can we go to the beach today?"

"But it's cold out, pumpkin."

"Pweease! I wanna go pick seashells." Liv gave her the whole puppy dog eyes and pouting lips. Andy smiled and remembered the times she used that on Sam just so she could get what she wanted. Clearly their baby had learned from the best. Who could ever resist those deep dark that were so much like Sam's and those cute pouting lips? Andy could feel herself giving in. She sighed deeply.

"Okay. But only to pick up seashells."

"Okay." She gave a big smile to Andy and turned to Sam as he brought the bacon to the table.

"Did you hear that daddy? Can we go now?"

Sam set the plate on the table and ruffled Liv's hair.

"We can go after breakfast, princess."

It wasn't long before they had finished breakfast and were ready to go to the beach. Liv was super excited, bouncing up and down on her car seat at the back of Sam's truck. Sam was unusually quiet during the drive and Andy was still pensive.

The sun was already up in the sky when they got to the beach, but the salty sea breeze was still chilly as it hit Andy's face. She looked over Sam who was unbuckling Liv's seat belt. It's amazing how they both look alike.

"Are you coming with us or are you just gonna stay with the truck?" Sam turned to Andy as Liv ran off to the shore.

They were both walking side by side, each to their own thoughts. Sam took a glance at Andy and noticed she was slightly shivering. He took of his black leather jacket and placed it over her shoulders. She put it on as he zipped it up, instantly making her feel warm.

"You knew it was going to be cold. You should've worn something warmer." Sam gave her that smile that up until now could make the butterflies in her stomach crazy. She gave a small smile, but stayed silent. She turned her gaze to the shoreline where Liv was picking up seashells and putting it in her little pail she had brought with her. Sam's forehead creased with worry. It wasn't like Andy to not have a witty retort to their playful banter.

"What's eating you, McNally?" She turned to look at Sam and saw his face full of concern. She mustn't be distracted anymore. She was tired of overanalyzing that got her nowhere. She had to confront him about her gut feeling.

"Are you keeping something from me?" Sam was taken aback at the force of her voice as she asked the question.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard what I said."

"Now what makes you say that?"

"You've been distant, anxious and jumpy! That is so unlike you. " He could tell that she was getting angry the way she crossed her arms in front of her and how her voice seems to get louder as she spoke.

"Andy, it's Liv's birthday. I don't want to have a fight with you."

"Then why don't you just answer the question then?" She challenged him knowing that he would never back down.

"Andy…" Sam couldn't give her an answer.

"You're going undercover again, aren't you?" Sam was quite surprised at her accusation and merely raised his eyebrow in response.

Andy knew she was being irrational by getting mad at him, but why was he avoiding the question? It was a simple question yet he couldn't give her an answer. She was frustrated and she knew that it wouldn't do any good to keep on like this. In fear of saying something she would regret, she walked away from him. She knew Sam would follow her, but she just needed time to cool off to be able to deal with this as a rational being.

She continued to walk, but Sam did not follow. She was afraid to look back because he might not be standing there anymore. The chilly breeze blew hard once again, forcing her to put her hands inside Sam's jacket. She stopped dead in her tracks.

Sam watched her stomp off. He smiled to himself. 'Stubborn as always.' Even before, Sam knew that it wasn't going to be easy to be with her, but he loved her. And he was willing to do anything to beat that. He sighed deeply and started to walk after her. He was about 10 feet away from her when she abruptly stopped.

"Sam?"

"Andy…" She slowly turned to face him, holding something in her hand.

"What's this?" Her eyes grew wide as she opened her hand and a small velvet box sat on her palm.

Sam moved closer and took the box from her and held her hands.

"Andy…you know I love you, right?" She nodded.

"Well, we've been a family for a while and I'm happy that we've reached this far, in fact it has been the best two years of my life. I've been meaning to ask you for a while now…I mean, I know how you feel about commitment and stuff so I didn't really know how to ask you and I was scared, really. But I wanted to make it official." So much for Sam's prepared speech.

"What I'm trying to say is will you marry me?" He finally asked the question as he opened the box to reveal an 18K white gold integrated cathedral solitaire ring. It was simple, but it was beautiful. Andy looked at the ring and back to Sam's face and then back to the ring.

"Is this why you've been acting strange lately?"

"Yeah, I tried asking you before, a couple of times actually, but the time was never right. There was always something. And it got me thinking that maybe you didn't want this or it was a mistake and that it would ruin what we have now. But basically, I was just afraid of what would happen if you said no."

"Oh, Sam…" Her eyes got a little misty.

"And Liv saw the ring and asked questions if it was for you and I was scared that she'd let it slip before I had the chance to ask you myself."

"And here I thought you wanted to break things up with me. And then I didn't want to confront you that way and I was hoping that you were indeed going undercover instead. Oh Sam…" Andy was crying and laughing at the same time like some crazy person. Sam pulled her closer to him and gave her a tight hug.

"Why would you even think that, McNally? No one will ever compare to you. And I told you before, I'm not going into undercover anymore because I don't want to leave behind the two best girls in my life. Remember that, okay? I'm never letting you go."

"Okay." She held onto Sam a little tighter, not wanting to let go too. Sam broke free so that he could look her in the eye.

"So will you marry me?"

"Can I think about it?" She said with a teasing smile on.

"You're not gonna make this easy for me, are you?"

"Nope. This is payback." She was laughing now, but tears still continued to pour from her eyes.

"But if you must know, Sam Swarek…yes, I will marry you."

At those very words Sam too started to tear up. He removed the ring from its box and slipped it on Andy's left ring finger. She admired it a bit and was once again circled by Sam's strong arms. They stayed that way for a while when they heard Liv calling out to them.

"Mommy! Daddy!" She was running toward them with her bucket full of shells. The both of them squatted down to be at her level. She looked curiously at the tears they both had streaming down from their eyes.

"Did daddy give you his present?" She turned to Andy.

"Yes." Was all Andy could say as she tried to wipe away the happy tears.

"Why are you crying? Don't you like daddy's gift? Is that why he's crying too?" Liv looked sad all of a sudden.

"No, pumpkin. These are happy tears. Mommy and daddy are very happy. And I love daddy's gift very much." Andy tried to explain to the little girl.

Liv looked at the both of them and smiled. Sam pulled the both of his girls close to him into a big hug.

"I love you both. You are my world."

"I love you too daddy and mommy too."

"I love my Sam and my Liv."

Even though Andy had two years with Sam and Liv already, this was still a big step for her, especially with her family issues. But she realized that if she was going to plunge into this, she was lucky that it was Sam she was plunging in with. He had always stayed by her side no matter what happened. Like he said, he had her back and he never left it even for a minute. Sam and Andy's relationship had helped healed her from her dark and twisted past. And with a little something extra on the side, her life had never been better.

"Can we go home now?" Sam asked, still holding them in a hug.

"I like the sound of that."

Sam lifted Liv onto his shoulders and held Andy's hand as they walked back to the truck. He smiled to himself as Andy tightened her grip on his hand. He had her back and he knew she had his back too.

THE END.

A/N: this is so not what I had in mind! I don't know what happened…either I just lost interest or coz I was distracted since I was writing this while watching tsubasa chronicles. Anyway, please let me know what you think…whatever it is. You may like it or hate it or whatever. Just don't forget to review.

Thanks again to everybody who read and reviewed. I apologize for the many grammatical errors…I know I have a lot and I haven't had the chance to edit it yet.

Anyway, hope to catch you again in my next fic.
