So first off THANK YOU to every one who reviewed. I know it started off a little slow but it will pick up and have a little faith in Sam and Andy :)

Anyway, I would of published soon but I decided to put this chapter in just to see a little bit of Andy's op and introduce some new charaters. Chapter 3 is almost finished but I need to write my other story first before I publish the next chapter for this one.

A/N: I do not own Rookie Blue :(

Chapter 2

Andy groaned as she rolled over to hit her alarm that continued to blare.

"Turn it off" Nick mumbled grumpily into the pillow.

Andy huffed as she hit the alarm throwing the blankets off of her body as she moved into the sitting position. She stretched the arms above her head. Three months in and she was still trying to get use to the bed. Oh how she missed her own bed. Andy slowly got up and padded into the bathroom leaving Nick to roll over and go back to sleep.

Walking over to the sink she frowned as she looked into the mirror she had lost weight since being undercover she knew if her friends saw her right now they would be upset, saying something along the lines of 'you need to eat more' or 'why aren't you taking better care of yourself?' Andy sighed as she picked up her toothbrush and applied the toothpaste. She couldn't help but wonder how her friends were back home, if they were mad at her for leaving without saying goodbye but mostly she wondered what Sam would say when she gets back, she wondered would he give her another chance? Did she want another chance? Andy groaned as she spat out her toothpaste wiping her mouth. 'Focus Andy, you're on the job stop worrying about home and get this thing finished'

"Morning" Nick said as he walked into the kitchen fully dressed.

"Morning" Andy mumbled back.

"You look like hell" Nick said walking over to the kettle to make a coffee.

"Jeez, your such a gentleman how are you still single?" Andy huffed as she walked past him.

"Wow and grumpy to" Nick smirked.

"Ass" Andy mumbled back at him.

Nick chuckled at Andy.

"I hate that bed" Andy said as she pointed over to the bed.

"Ok-ay, what's wrong with it?" Nick asked.

"It's all lumpy and hard and…" Andy rattled off

"And it doesn't have Swarek in it?" Nick smirked.

"What? No! Why would you even bring that up?" Andy said glaring at him.

"I'm sorry it was a low blow"

"I'm sorry to; I guess I'm just having one of those days"

"It's ok we all have them" Nick smiled softly.

"I wish this op would be over already" Andy whispered.

"So do I"

"I miss him" she whispered again.

Nick nodded as he stepped close to her to hug her.

"Even after everything we went through, I still love him. I just wish he was here." Andy said returning the hug. She pulled back quickly "I mean don't get me wrong I'm glad you're here, it's just that he… his" Andy broke off her sentence.

"Was your partner" Nick finished for her "I know I get it, and I promise we are going to finish this and then you and Sam are going to hash this out and make it work for you two. And hopefully Gail and I can do the same."

Andy smiled at Nick. "You're a good partner and I'm glad if I could be here with someone it's with you."

"Right back at ya" Nick smiled. "So you ready for the day now?"

Andy just smiled and nodded.

"Ok off to work we go" Nick smiled turning to grab her wallet and keys.

Andy threw her head back and groaned at the mention of work.

Nick just laughed as he grabbed his coat and put it on then he picked up her coat and held it up for her as she walked over to Nick as he helped her put the coat on.

Walking into parade Sam joined Oliver at the back of the room where he handed Oliver a coffee.

"Thanks" Oliver said accepting the coffee from Sam "How's things?" Oliver asked taking a sip from his coffee.

"You mean how are things any different from when you asked that same question yesterday or the day before that?" Sam asked turning slightly to Oliver raising his eyebrow.

"Just making sure you're ok" Oliver said simply.

"And though I appreciate that, I'm fine." Sam replied.

"You know I just meant, you know how are thing with being a detective." Oliver stumbled.

"Like I said it's fine" Sam answered again. Oliver just nodded.

"Ok can I have your attention please" Frank said as he stood at the podium. "First off I'd like to introduce the newest rookie to 15 and that is none other than Officer Chloe Price" everybody clapped softly "Welcome, I'm sure you well be a great assent to 15, your TO will be Officer Shaw"

Both Dov and Traci turned to each other and smirked as Frank announced that her TO was Oliver. "You lucky thing Officer Price" Dov said while other officers chuckled.

"Hey" Oliver said glaring at Dov.

"Alright, alright settle down, I assure you Officer Price, Officer Shaw is one of the best" Frank said looking at Price. "Unless his hungry, so buy him a sandwich" Frank smirked at Oliver as the other officers laughed.

Oliver just glared and said "That is true".

"Ok, also I'd like to introduce a fellow Officer who has transferred from SWAT, some of you my know her, so welcome to 15 Officer Marlo Cruz I'm sure you to will be a great asset to the team."

At the mention of Marlo's name Sam head rose to meet Marlo's eye, Marlo smiled softly at him.

"Alright Serve, Protect and show these new Officers how it's done at 15!"

Other officers rushed off to their assignments while Sam hung back and waited for everyone to leave.

Oliver cleared his throat "Well I'll see you after shift." Oliver said as he headed for the door passing Marlo "It's good to see you Marlie" Oliver said hugging Marlo and kissing her on the cheek.

"Good to see you to Ollie, catch up tonight for a drink?" Marlo smiled.

"Yep" Oliver said walking out of parade leaving Sam and Marlo the only ones left in the room.

"Hey Sammy" Marlo said smiling softly at him "Long time no see"

Sam smirked at Marlo "Yeah, it's been a while."

"I see you moved up on the ladder"

Sam nodded.

"What happened with undercover?" Marlo asked.

"Things change" Sam replied evenly.

Marlo nodded. "Why Homicide? Would have though you would have a least been a Guns & Gangs?"

"Position become available so I took it."

"Yeah I heard about Jerry I'm sorry, he was a good guy"

Sam nodded "Yeah, he was"

There was a moment of silence before Marlo began "Anyway I better get to it first day and all" Marlo smiled. "Will I see you at the Penny?"

"Depends, paperwork and all that"

"Come on Sammy, you have to celebrate my first day and I'll need a lift" Marlo smirked as she headed backwards towards the door.

Sam chuckled as Marlo left the room.

"Hey Andy" Lisa said approaching Andy.

"Yeah" Andy said loudly trying to get over the music.

"Someone's here to see you" Lisa smirked nodding over Andy's shoulder.

Andy frowned at Lisa as she turned to look over her shoulder finding Nick standing their smiling at her. She smiled back "Give me 15?" She asked Lisa.

"Look it's a slow night and your shifts over in 40 minutes anyways, so good have fun with your boyfriend" Lisa smiled nodding.

Andy thanked her and then walked over to Nick, knowing Lisa was still watching them she kissed him sweetly "Hey"

"Hey yourself, how's work?" Nick asked smiling brushing her cheek.

"I'm finished now thanks to you I get an early mark"

"Am I the best fake boyfriend or what" Nick whispered in her ear. He chuckled as he placed his arm around Andy's shoulder and began to walk out of the bar.

Andy chuckled "Totally" she said smacking his chest.

"Abusive" Nick laughed as he rubbed his chest. As Andy scoffed at him.

"So how was work today?" Andy asked Nick.

"Yeah good, I think I'm making a lot of leeway, I mean we can get Dakota on a couple of charges but not enough to nail the bastard" Nick sighed. "What about you? Has Lisa said anything?"

Andy shook her head "I mean she speaks about Dakota often but I don't think she knows much, she knows his in the business but I don't think she gets told much."

Nick nodded.

"That or she's a really good secret keeper"

"I think will be here for a little longer" Nick frowned.

It was days like today where she wished she never accepted the job, then she would be free to go home to her own bed or hang out with her friends, hell even talk it out with Sam. Andy just sighed as they continued to walk to the apartment.

Walking up the stairs to the apartment Nick removed his arm from Andy's shoulders. Opening the door they walked in Andy headed to the fridge while Nick headed to the couch.

"Sammy?" Cruz called as she walked into the man's locker room. Marlo paused and smirked as she came face to face with a shirtless Sam. "It's good to see something stay the same."

Sam huffed "Is that your way of saying I still look good?"

"Took the words right out of my mouth" Marlo smirked.

Sam chuckled.

Marlo slowly walked over to Sam "So tell me what does a girl have to do to get a lift to the Penny?"

"Let me get dressed and I'll meet you at my truck."

Marlo smirked "Ok" she said as she walked out of the locker room.

Sam frowned and shook his head as finished getting ready, he then headed out to his truck.

"See you still have this girl" Marlo said.

The short drive to the Penny was silent, arriving they made their way to the bar.

Oliver ordered the first round. "Here is to the return of Officer Cruz"

"Thanks Ollie" Marlo smiled.

"So how was your first day back on the streets?" Oliver asked.

"It's good" Marlo smiled.

"Nothing like S.W.A.T but?" Noelle asked.

"No defiantly not." Marlo replied.

"So why the change? Why now?" Noelle continued.

Sam and Oliver looked at each other with eyebrows raised.

Marlo cleared her throat. "I needed a change."

"Big change" Noelle mumbled.

Sam cleared his throat "Well I think I might head off"

"Well that's a change, the Sammy I knew would stay until close and turn up the next day with a hangover, you've barely made it through one beer. You have gotten soft in your old age."

Sam smiled a thin line and then said good night.

Sam headed for the door. Marlo got up off her chair to follow.

"Leave him" Oliver said but Marlo didn't listen.

"Sammy" Marlo yelled as she walked out the door.

Sam turned around "Go back inside and celebrate Marlie"

"See this is a totally different Sammy."

"Yeah it is. Cause people change, people move on"

"Yeah I get that but, you I never thought that you'd give up undercover. I swear I thought you were going to do it until you're old and grey" Marlo paused "then again" Marlo grinned.

Sam chuckled slightly.

"It's kind of a kick in the guts really" Marlo said looking at Sam.

"What is?" Sam asked.

"I asked you to give it up and you just left. But here we are now, you gave it up to be a detective so she must be some girl."

"Don't know what you're talking about" Sam said playing dumb.

"Ok then, in that case lets go back to your place and really celebrate." Marlo said walking closer to Sam.

Sam chuckled. "Thanks but I think I'll pass."

"Why we always did have fun" Marlo smirked.

Sam nodded "Yeah but like I said people change…"

"People move on" Marlo finished for him. "You should follow your advice, and move on before it's too late." And with that Marlo headed back inside.

Sam watched Marlo head back into the Penny, Sam turned and headed for his truck.

So that was chapter 2 hope you guys liked it let me know :)
