AN: sorry this took so long to get up, this chapter is just Andy and Jay, but in the next one she'll actually interact with other people haha. Hope you guys like it! Thank you all again for your nice reviews!

Andy opted out on putting on her shoes; instead she just grabbed them and ran outside as the revving of an engine on her street was driving her insane. Jay had asked if she wanted a ride to work which she instantaneously accepted as her only other option was taking a bus that would force her to wake up an hour earlier. However she did not consider the fact that Jay recently bought a Nissan GTR, which he was immensely proud of and became the most obnoxious person with a sports car in the history of humanity. It had been 2 and half weeks, 17 days, and 408 hours since her undercover assignment ended abruptly. She had gone in once for a few hours to give her statement but even after almost 3 weeks it didn't seem real to Andy that she had to wear a uniform and work the streets again.

Andy quickly locked the door and did a half walk, half jog to Jay's car, shoes in hand.

"I told you waking up at noon every day for 6 months was going to bite you in the ass," Jay said as soon as Andy opened the door to the car.

"Good morning to you too, I'm sure all the neighbours loved the sound of your engine at 7am," Andy replied sarcastically ignoring his comment.

"I mean, it's basically a form of art,"

"Shut up and drive please?" Andy said with a smile to not seem as sassy as the sentence had made her out to be.

"Whatever you please my darling, but just one question, you nervous about today?" Jay asked with a tone of seriousness.

"I know you'll make fun of me but honestly yes. By the way Mr. Google Maps you should have turned right at the light we just passed," Jay had gotten Nick and Andy lost of more occasions than they could count but always thought he was right.

"Nick's picking up Gail and will meet us at the station," they looked at each other nervously, "and I am not going to make fun of you, I would never," Andy gave him a skeptical look, "alright fine I probably would on any other day, however today is not any other day and as someone whose job was to watch out for you I feel I have an obligation to tell you that Sam has a new girlfriend who works at the division," Jay looked over at Andy nervously.

After 5 kilometers and 3 red lights of silence she finally spoke up, "what's her name?"

"Marlo Cruz" Jay decided now would not be the great time to crack jokes.

"Tell me about your ex-wife" Andy demanded.

"What? No, and she's not my ex-wife...yet"

"Come on, please? I need a distraction, we still have a good 10 minutes until the station and I can't just sit here thinking about Sam and Marlo having sex!" Andy replied, her voice growing louder with each word.

"Fine, what do you want to know?" Jay asked after a few minutes of consideration.

"Her name would be a great place to start, I mean I've known you for 6 months and I don't even know what your wife's name is!" Andy said with a bit of misplaced anger.

"In due time young grasshopper, ask me anything else," Jay replied with a wink hoping it won't lead to his fatality.

"Why did you separate?"

"Andy..."

"Jay" they stared at each other, both not willing to budge while the light was still red.

"Did anyone ever tell you how stubborn you are?"

"Don't change the subject," Andy replied eagerly, she was way too close to turn back now.

"Things got complicated"

"So you just ended it? Thing got complicated so you broke up? Why goes everyone think that when things get complicated it is okay to just walk away? Some things are worth fighting for Jay!" Andy could feel her stomach churning; this was definitely not the morning she was hoping for.

"She was a leader of a SWAT team, I was leading a Guns and Gangs task force, our paths crossed, an innocent civilian's life was stolen, she took a different job and I left for the task force with you and Collins," Jay said starring straight at the road.

Even though Andy could feel his pain through the chopped up recollection of his marriage she had no mercy, "Did you love her?" Jay nodded, refusing to look at her, "then you shouldn't have left! You don't leave what you love, isn't that the point of love? To be together? Till the end?"

"Look Andy, I don't know what you want me to say! Do I regret leaving? Of course! We are on the same page here, okay? I should have stayed; I should have fought for her and I regret it now, but I came home to a note with 3 sentences on it! After 8 years of marriage, 8 Christmas', 8 birthdays, 8 years of being a part of her family, she left a 3 sentence note! She couldn't even face me! She wrote 'I'm sorry, I just can't do this anymore. I put in a transfer to a different station. It's for the best of us.' What was I suppose to do? She left me okay, she left me." Jay yelled back, his face red as a tomato but never taking his eyes off the road.

Neither of them spoke for the rest of the car ride, until they pulled up into the parking lot.

"I'm sorry" said Andy

"I'm surprised you have managed to stay silent for so long, you're allergic to silence" Jay said with a smile in trying to ease the awkwardness. Andy's stomach formed a knot, that's what Sam always said she thought.

"We're here," Andy said blankly

"Great observation officer McNally," Jay replied while reaching to open the door of his car but interrupted when Andy put her hand on his leg.

"Can we just sit here for a while?" Andy asked with a look on her face identical to a puppy dog's.
