Do you want to see a particular thing in this story? :)

Thank you Ireland for this awesome correction as always :)

It's like she's made of porcelain and nobody really want to be with her on patrol. Andy knows that being pregnant calls for prudence and all, but she's not about to die. It started the day she had the conversation with Sam in Oliver's office. Most days she's partnered with Collins. After all this time, even when she dated him and he put a gun to her head, Sam trusts Collins more than others. Because, they know Nick wouldn't do anything to jeopardise Sam and Andy's happiness and he is happy with Juliet. Nick and Andy have developed a strong friendship and Sam respects that now. The first week she was on patrol wasn't so bad. Everyone was treating her like normal, but when people found out she was pregnant they started to change their approach around her. Some things were actually funny.

The next day when she told Collins she was expecting, they were driving around for an hour without any calls. It seems like Toronto fears Sam, and when they finally got a call for an intruder, she lights up the car and she's ready like she's never seen some action. Once they arrived at the location, Nick looks at Andy and finally speaks

" Okay Andy, I will go check and you will wait in the car." From the look on Andy's face she was not happy with what he just said.

"Nick. I'm pregnant, I'm still capable to do my job" she states like a matter of fact.

" I know.. but if anything happens to you, I'm dead" Collins answers with all seriousness.

" Sam?" Andy knows that she doesn't need to ask him, she knows he could have threatened the entire station.

" Sam" confirms Nick. Andy is already out of the car, slamming the door and ready to do her job.

Nick reminds himself to never get on Andy's bad side. She finds and arrests the intruder in less than 3 minutes. When they arrive back at 15, Andy doesn't even glance once at Sam. It's when her day is finally over and she goes to Sam's office and he said he's sorry that she kisses him and ask him to bring her home. She's angry, right, but she knows that he does it because he loves her and can't really control the over protective side of him when it comes to her safety. He just wants her to be okay and the only way he can do this is to ask her partners to double check on her every second of the day.

There is another time when she was with Chloe. A change from serious soldier boy. Chloe was her babbling self and asking some insight about the baby and Sam and Andy relationship. Andy is happy to acknowledge her. Her relationship with Sam is beyond perfect. Not perfect perfect, but the perfect imperfect kind of way. They're finding their roots, the limits of each other and living this relationship will all their emotion. They haven't spent a night apart to often. Even if she has a late shift or Sam has one, they always end up at his place. She actually loves his place, and she knows they will have to talk about where they want to raise their little rookie, but at three months, she thinks there is still time for that.

" Chloe, what's the matter? You're driving really slow." asks Andy once she finds what bugging her.

" Bumps on the road can be dangerous so I'm being careful." said Chloe with a serious tone to her voice.

"I'm just pregnant." It's like Andy repeating herself every time.

" Yeah well, wouldn't want a bumpy baby."

Andy isn't able to stop herself from laughing and decide she won't even try to argue with her. She can be on the street for one more month and she wants to enjoy it. She thinks about the last time she was paired with Gail.

Gail, this stoic Gail softening Gail her friend that she wouldn't change for the world. Gail finally adopted Sophie a while ago and she can see the change in her. Holly did come back into her life too and she can see that Gail is more happier than ever. Even with the betrayal of her brother and her parents still not speaking to her. What a mess it was. Gail was still Gail, leaving Andy do her job even challenging her and laughing about her lack of cardio sometimes. They were having lunch at a nearby diner when Gail bluntly said something…well Gailish…

"So you're gonna be like a beluga" Gail asked without any filters

"Gail, not cool" says Andy with a little smile, knowing Gail didn't say it to hurt her.

"What? It's true, you will become hugeeeeee, and the baby is going to be an handful with you and Swarek as parents."

"Why?" she can't stop herself from asking

" Really? You have to ask?"

And yeah, she knows Gail could be right. Andy can picture herself having a kid who's a handful, just like Sam, with some cockiness and her stubbornness, his hair but her eyes. She can picture it and can't wait for it.

Today she was supposed to ride with Dov, but he finally got his Detective training like he wanted. So she was paired with Chris. Her good old friend Chris. She sometimes missed their rookies day but not their complicated lives they had back then. Everything in their lives seemed to be right where they wanted it to be. Chris met someone a little while ago and she had never seen him happier. It's the first time she's paired with him since everyone, herself included, knows about her pregnancy. It's also her last two weeks before she has to be on desk and plans to make the most of it. She knows she will miss it but knows that she's doing it for a good reason.

" Okay, so Rule 1, you stay near me every time. Rule 2, you tell me if …" but Chris can't go any further when Andy interrupts him, tired of this behaviour towards her.

"Chris?"

"What?" asks Chris, not really sure why she's interrupting him.

"Shut up'' she says with a laugh.

"Sorry, I'm used to having rookies…and I just want you to be okay". in all seriousness, Andy knows that Chris didn't mean to be on her back, he loves the rules and she knows he wants to protect his partner.

"It's all good, but seriously, just be normal Chris". He gives her a cheeky smile and doesn't add any rules. Because, Andy doesn't need rules and he knows that they are high risk that she won't follow them.

Everything is good, really good. The day goes really fast and smooth at the same time. Just like she likes them. A call come in and they rush to the scene. It's a road accident. Andy helps someone to get out of the vehicle and starts asking questions. Suddenly everything is blurry after that. A gun shot rifle goes off near her ears and she's pushed down to the ground. Instinct kicks in and she's protecting her belly. Andy falls on her side, her arm taking the weight. After what seems like hours but are in fact seconds, Chris come by her and pull her behind their car. When reinforcements arrive on the scene and the shooting ends, Chris turns his head and looks at Andy. She has her eyes close and she's breathing trying to calm herself.

"What the hell was that?'' she asks trying to regain some composure.

"I don't know… but are you alright?" Andy can hear the fear in his voice.

"I think so.. I don't know… my left wrist hurts, I fell on my left side." And she's honest, she don't know if she's okay, or if Rookie is okay. She's scared as hell right now.

"You took a pretty hard fall Andy…I'm so sorry" said Chris who was annoyed with himself that this had happened.

"No, Chris don't be, it's not your fault" And it isn't his fault, she knows it but she can't stop herself thinking the worst.

"You have to go at the hospital." he said. And before she refuses, he continues "and tell Sam…"

"He's in court, just… '' she tries to say, she doesn't want to alarm him before she knows anything and he will be hard to reach in the court.

''Andy…" Chris knows why she doesn't want to alert him if it's nothing, but he's on Sam's side right now.

"Chris, I'm scared…. What if something is wrong with the baby after this fall? Why I didn't listen to Sam?" Andy starts to panic.

"Because, you're Andy McNally and you're awesome. I'm sure everything will be alright. Come on. You have a job to do and you did" Chris helps Andy to get up and she clutch her ribs. That is not a good sign at all. He goes with Andy in the ambulance, hoping that everything will be alright, for Andy and Sam's sake, for the baby's sake… and his own sake.

Never in her life, minus that one time had Andy been this scared. Scared to death. The other time was when she didn't know if Sam was still alive at Brennan's hand.

Each time he has been scared to death have when ever something had to do with Andy McNally. Sam didn't let Oliver finish his sentence and he was already running out of the court. The words shooting, McNally and hospital were echoing in his head. He needed to see her. A squad car was already parked in front of the court and Collins was in it. Sam jumps into the car and Collins starts driving to get him there quickly. Collins tell Sam that Andy is okay, pretty shaken but she's okay. She hadn't been hit by any bullets but she fell on her side to the ground. Sam is on the verge of losing his mind. He needs to see her with his own eyes and only then will he believe that both of them are okay. Once at the hospital, Oliver had just enough time to tell Sam which room Andy is in before he looses his cool. Sam stops dead in his tracks before entering the room. Fear freezing him. What will he find on the other side of the door? A broken Andy? A grieving girlfriend? He takes a deep breath before entering the room. When he walks in Chris stands up and leaves to let them talk. Andy is waiting on the bed, not looking at him, in her own world, arms wrapped around herself and Sam's heart broke a little. Sam is about to say something like " it's why I wanted you on desk" but when she finally look at him with red, puffy eyes all the anger he had in him left his body. He took her in his arms wondering what the news was and she starts sobbing on his shoulder.

" I'm okay Sam, Rookie is okay to" she manages to get out between the sobbing.

" Thank god" Sam let out a sigh he didn't know he holding. He takes a step back and checks Andy over. A bad bruise is forming on her forehead, her left wrist is in a cast and when he touches her side he feels her take a deep breath.

"Broken ribs?" he asks, he knows these kinds of injuries well.

"I felt the only thing I was thinking was protecting rookie at all costs. No matter what… I didn't even try to protect myself from the shooting. Chris had to put me behind the car. What kind of mother will I be? I..." Andy says while she detaches herself from Sam.

Sam sees how frantic and panicked she is becoming, he knows she has some doubts about her ability to be a Mom. Hell, he asks himself the same thing about being a Dad. They didn't really have the best examples growing up. He takes her face in his hands and forces Andy to look at him.

"You will be an awesome Mom who put the life of our baby before hers. You did everything you could and everything right. You're okay, rookie is okay, that's all that matters?" He needs her to understand that her instinct is why she and their baby are alive right now.

It takes a couple of minutes before she's able to regain some calm.

"My ribs will probably hurt the entire pregnancy" she finally tells Sam in the crook of his neck as he draws circles on her back.

"Why's that?" asks Sam.

"Apparently rookie will put some pressure on it so it will be swollen a little." Andy explains.

"We will take extra care that you rest well." After a moment he adds. "God I'm so happy to have you in my arms right now sweetheart."

Andy lifts her head and looks into Sam's eyes. " I love you Sam Swarek. Take me home"

"I love you Andy McNally." said Sam before kissing Andy. He helps her out of the hospital, grateful that she's okay. Tonight, when he puts his head on the pillow he won't sleep. No, he will carefully listen to her soft breathing, grateful for all the luck his life gave him today. Sam thinks about the future, a future with Andy and their rookie, maybe a lot of rookies in it. But tonight, he will hold her like never before craving her presence, just to be sure she's still here, with him and that today never happened.
