Wow. Wasn't really expecting that out of the episode.

I know I had mentioned in my previous chapter about Andy and Luke going to the cabin but there was just too much from this episode to write about, so I will try and have a chapter up prior to next week's episode :)

Thanks for all the reviews and follows so far! :)

Steve Peck knew his little sister was a conflicting, confusing mess. He knew that from when she was little. God she pissed him off one too many times and did he ever beat her up sometimes. He never thought that she would follow him into the family policing business. He almost didn't want her in policing, just because he was afraid that she would turn out like their parents and ultimately, him.

The elder Peck had a couple shots of the alcohol Nash had found. He sympathized with her. But he didn't know how to really connect with her either, so he thought of alcohol. Age old distraction. It wasn't that he wanted to put any moves on Traci Nash either, she was still clearly grieving Jerry's death but something about that woman….

When he rounded the corner of the division and saw his sister sitting on the ground, back up behind the fence, he wasn't sure if it was the alcohol or what was talking. Luke Callaghan was sitting beside her, they weren't talking yet but Steve was pretty sure Gail would let something out soon so he crept around the corner and waited. Something big obviously had happened because Gail was silent.

"I fucked up big time didn't I?" Gail asked.

Luke looked at her and shrugged. "Depends. We got the guy."

"You know what I mean."

Steve was curious to see what Callaghan's response would be. "He was right. Guilt. It's a funny thing. It really does destroy a person."

"You cheated on Andy for the same reasons I cheated on Nick, didn't you?" Gail said it so softly, Steve had a hard time hearing.

Luke looked away and then back at Gail. "I guess. I always did think there was something going on between her and Swarek and I guess there was. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of being the bad guy and sleeping with my ex."

"Yeah well Nick admitted to me that he has feelings for Andy."

"Do you regret it?"

"Sleeping with someone else? Yes. At the time, it made me feel different. It made me feel…. Me," Gail replied.

He nodded. "I know the feeling."

"Why did you let me go in there with Perrick?" Gail asked. "Nobody else would. Frank, Swarek, McNally."

"I knew you could handle yourself. I do regret the fact that it brought the end to your relationship."

"It was bound to happen," Gail said. "Just spend up the process. The part that sucks the most is the fact that I work with the guy."

Luke looked at her. "Despite what they say, time doesn't really make it easier."

Steve knew this was the end of their conversation so he slowly walked towards them and Gail looked up at her older brother, with her tear stained cheek. "You're still here."

"I'm assuming you want a ride?" Steve asked. He was fine to drive. The conversation that his little sister had cheated on her boyfriend sobered him up quite a bit.

Luke stood up and nodded at the guns and gangs detective. "See you around Steve. Gail, we'll talk later." Gail just nodded at Luke's direction and Steve handed her a hand up and she took it.

"I'm thinking a bottle of Tequila?"

Nick sat in Andy's apartment and looked blankly at the wall. "She cheated on me. She slept with someone else."

"While we were gone?"

He shook his head. "No. Within the past couple weeks I think."

"Did she tell you why?" Andy asked, setting a beer down for Nick. He had been there for her during the time that Sam had broke his heart, now she was going to be there for him, while Gail broke his heart.

He held the beer in his hand but didn't drink it. "She thinks there is something going on between you and I."

"But there isn't."

"She confronted Blackstone. And he told her that he gave us that weekend off when we went to Niagara."

Andy let out her breath. That was one of the secrets they had been keeping for awhile. "And?"

"She thinks I have feelings for you."

Andy was a little startled by that revelation. He had always denied any feelings between the two of them, especially while undercover but Andy had always felt that he wasn't completely telling the truth. And honestly, that wasn't fair to Gail. "Oh." And now that Gail figured out, there would be even more questions about what went on during those six months while they were gone.

"I just can't believe she cheated on me. I could maybe put it aside if it happened while we were gone, but now?" Nick shook his head. "I really thought she was ready to settle down and then she comes up with that."

She just smiled at him and took a sip of her beer. "I cheated on Luke once."

Nick almost choked on his beer. "What?"

"I shot a guy. Killed him. SUI comes in and questions me and Luke gives me a hug and then tells me he needs to go work the crime scene. So I'm sitting at home, there's a power outage and I keep replaying the shooting in my mind and the next thing I know I'm on Sam Swarek's doorstep."

"What happened?" Nick asked.

Andy shrugged. "The power came back on."

"What did you do after?"

Andy looked at the ground. "Convinced myself it didn't happen. Lied to Luke. He still doesn't know. The only people that know are Sam, Traci, and now you."

She had some conflicting feelings between Nick and Gail's breakup. She loved them both dearly and she thought both of them were to blame. And honestly, she didn't blame Gail all that much. Should Gail should have slept with a different guy? No. But Andy also understood now why Luke cheated with Jo. He saw the sparks between Sam and Andy, just as Gail saw the sparks between Nick and Andy. She felt for Nick, she really did, but she just didn't think Gail was the one to blame 100%. She also remembered when Blackstone gave them that weekend off and how hard she tried to convince Nick to go back to Toronto. And she knew then that something was up.

"What am I supposed to do now?" Nick asked.

Andy went into her room and grabbed the book that her mom had given her after Sam had broken it off with her last year. "Read the book. I guess I'll be your breakup buddy? I'm not sure. You move on. Just like I did. It's not easy. But you move on."

Steve and Gail sat in the kitchen at Dov and Gail's apartment with a bottle of tequila between them. "I guess you heard the whole conversation," Gail said as she took a shot and looked down at the shot glass.

He nodded. "Why did you tell Callaghan?"

"He was there when I made my admission and I hooked up with him before. After him and Andy broke up," Gail said.

"If it makes you feel any better, I could see it coming from a mile away," Steve said. "He basically left you at the alter in Vegas. He left you to go on a UC op for six months. I'm not condoning what you did, but I don't blame you."

Gail looked at her older brother. "You don't blame me?"

"No," Steve said, after taking a shot. "I can't say anything either because I cheated on Rachel too."

"I knew it."

Steve chuckled. "Yeah. I think a lot of people did. When the home life isn't good, can't get your head above the water sometimes… it just happens. But Rachel and I agreed that it was a long time coming on both of our parts."

"I never liked Rachel."

He half snorted. "You didn't like any of my girlfriends."

"That's not completely true. I didn't mind, what's her face… Maggie. Or Megan. Something like that."

"She's the one who got away. And I have never liked any of your boyfriends. Save for maybe Diaz. Even if he turned Bibby in. Although you two were not good for each other and should never have been together, he wasn't a bad guy."

Gail smiled a little. She could and would wring Chris' neck for leaving to Timmons without telling them anything. Nothing. Not a word. "He's a pretty good guy." She poured herself and Steve another shot. "After I did it… it felt good to be wanted, you know. " She downed the shot. "Nick made me eggs the other morning."

"You hate eggs."

"Exactly. I do know who loves them though," Gail spat out. "I don't hate Andy. It's just why? Why am I not good enough? The moment that he went on that UC op I had my doubts."

Steve shrugged. "Who did you sleep with?"

"I'm not telling."

"Who did you sleep with?"

Gail looked at her brother. "I'm not saying."

After Nick had left, hopefully not to drink himself into oblivion but to get some sleep, Andy couldn't fall asleep. So finally at 2 in the morning, she got up and walked to Luke's. She was grateful his place was relatively close. That 2 am thing of theirs…. It was starting to become more apparent.

Instead of waking him up, she used her spare key and let herself in. She tried to make as little noise as possible as she tiptoed to his bedroom and took some of her clothes off and climbed under the covers. Luke rolled over and squinted at her. "What are you doing?"

"I couldn't sleep. Go back to sleep," Andy said quietly.

He shifted slightly so he could look at her. "You look like you've had a couple drinks."

"Nick came over. Gail and him are done."

Luke nodded. "I know. I heard it all. Her and I talked about it after. She regrets it. But I think they both knew it was a long time coming."

Andy stayed silent. "I think I kind of get it. Why you cheated on me. And why Gail cheated."

"I saw the sparks between you and Swarek. Just like Gail saw the feelings Nick has for you. I regret what happened. Over and over again. If Jo hadn't of been there I probably wouldn't have made the same mistake."

Andy closed her eyes and knew she had to tell the truth. "If we're being completely honest with each other, the night of the blackout back when I was a rookie. Something did happen with Swarek."

Luke nodded. "I know."

She was surprised at the revelation. "What? You knew all this time?"

"I'm not dumb, Andy. I knew. I didn't say anything because although you made the mistake, I knew you regretted it; it was my fault. You had just shot your first person in the line of duty and I should have been there. Instead, I was too wrapped up in work. So I didn't say anything."

She just smiled and then leaned over and kissed him in the dark. He was taken by surprise but kissed her back and wrapped his arm around her. She giggled a little and just let herself be held. "It was weird having you at 15 today."

"It was a little weird being back," he mentally told himself not to slip up about last week's argument with Swarek. They remained professionals today and hopefully it would continue that way.

"I called Traci a bunch tonight but her phone kept going straight to voicemail. I was going to go over there but Nick came over and I know she has Leo tonight. And I thought she'd want to be alone tonight," Andy said. Her thoughts often went to her best friend today.

Luke nodded. "Although I did see Steve Peck drinking with Traci up in the D's room. Apparently he did take that order to keep her distracted seriously."

"Steve Peck?" Andy coughed a little. She hadn't had a run in with him since her rookie days with Diaz and busting his partner Bibby. "What was he doing?"

"Something with Guns and Gangs. Out of all the Peck's, surprisingly, he's the least of the asshole out of all of them."

Andy looked at him. "You're serious."

Luke shrugged. "I'd much rather deal with Steve Peck any day over Gail. But we should get to sleep. I was going to go for a run tomorrow morning."

"Wake me up," Andy said and Luke kissed her before she rolled over. She fell asleep with a smile on her face.

Thoughts? Who did Gail sleep with? More Swarek jealous in coming chapters or more Collins? Let me know what you think!
