AUTHORS NOTE- thank you all for the lovely reviews, and I hope you know they make my day :) a special shoutout to aolande1 for pointing out specific things, another one to Robb89 for encouraging me, and to answer your questions, pretty much, I just finished grade seven, in Ontario that's still elementary. Also, to edwardfiend for being so nice and pointing out specific things while having more specific things in mind ;) Also, who LOVED the end scene of rookie blue season 2 ep 8? I know I sure did. Definitely did.
SO GOOD. The scenes for the next episode however? What was with that? :(

DISCLAIMER: yeah…..well, I don't own rookie blue. Sadness.

As they left the station, with Sam's hand wrapped around Andy's upper arm, pulling her close. Shaw and Noelle took the hint that something had happened and knew from the look in his eye that Sam wanted to get out of there fast, with his rookie close to him. They got to the cruiser, Sam in the driver's seat, and sat in silence. Both knew there was something to be said. Both didn't know how to say it.

"McNally. I want….I want you to know that I have been waiting for this…for you…for a long time. Okay? So when I ask if you're ready, I mean it. If you aren't ready, please, just don't lead me on. I'm a big boy, I can handle myself. Don't think that I…look, I'll be okay….I just…I feel like…you just broke things off with Callaghan. I don't want to be strung along while you're still needing to work it out." Sam said, anger fuelling his voice when he spat out Luke's name. Andy realized that what he was saying made sense. What he was saying was true, but, like usual, Andy hadn't even thought about it. She thought about it. When she was with Sam, and yes, it was a when, not an if, she wanted to be with him and only him, with nothing dampening the experience. She needed to talk to Luke and get it over with.

"You're right. You usually are. I…I need to end it. Could you drive to the station first, please?" Andy said in a small voice. Sam smiled a little smile, glad that she was willing to talk to Luke, he man she was so angry at, so she could be with him. His smile got bigger.

"Sam! What the hell are you smiling at? This isn't funny! "Andy cried, smacking him. That just made Sam smile more; he let out a little chuckle.

"DRIVE Sam." Andy commanded.

"Okay McNally, let's just drive in silence so you can think about what you're going to say to your new BFF Callaghan!" Sam said, still laughing. This time Andy smacked him, but joined in on the laughter. Soon, they ended up at the station, neither one of them ready. Andy broke the silence.

"You sure you want this…us...to happen?" Andy asked in a very quiet voice.

"I've never, ever been more sure of something in my life." Sam promised.

"Never?" Andy asked, in shock. That was a big thing for Sam to say, he always looked sure. When he was sure that Andy could be his girlfriend, Edie. When he was sure that Andy's dad wasn't guilty. He was always sure.

"Never." Sam assured.

"Wish me luck." Andy said.

"Yeah, sure, good luck. Just don't get lucky. At least, not in there." He winked.

"God, Sam, really?" Andy said, laughing.

"Yup." Sam said, smiling.
