**authors note- your reviews are all so great! I really hope I don't disappoint with where he took her, I just had this in my head that it would be a good idea. It's really hard to keep the characters in character in these scenes, so constructive criticism would be much appreciated, well; actually, all reviews are appreciated ;)

"Surprise."

Andy barely heard his voice. She knew this building.

"Let's go upstairs." Sam said.

"Sam…you remembered?" Andy asked, kind of breathless.

"Sure did. Been keeping tabs on it. Its empty."

They entered the room together, and Andy's mind was transported back to the first day they met each other. Well, not exactly 'met' per se, but saw.

-flashback-

"POLICE!" Andy yelled, as she broke down the door.

"That is a crappy lock." Sam had shot back. But in reality he had been awestruck. Obviously she was a rookie, the fear in her face during a routine clearing of a building showed it. But damn, she was a hot rookie. Her wide chocolate eyes expressed so much. Still, he needed to get out of there, wasn't about to let her blow 8 months of living in a greasy, dangerous neighbourhood. He hopped out of the window, knowing the rookie would be too scared to shoot. His guy didn't follow.

"Here we go," Sam said, pulling his guy out of the window with him. In all honest, Andy would've laughed had she not been so scared.

"McNally." Sam's rough yet soft voice snapped her from her trance. She noticed he had moved closer, resting his hand on her lower back. This place brings a glow to both of their hearts, and Sam pulls her in for a hug.

"Thank you, Sam. Thank you for bringing me here, and for being so perfect."

'McNally, I'm far from perfect. I am, however rather capable of making it seem that way." He said, and winked at her.

She scoffed. "Also, you're capable of boasting about yourself while being sweet at the same time."

"Sweet?" It was Sam's turn to scoff. "Sexy, maybe, but sweet? No way!" Sam exclaimed. Andy laughed.

"We're still on shift, Sam. As much as I really, really want to stay here for a while with you, we have bad guys to catch."

"Check your phone McNally. We have 10 minutes until shift ends. I say we get back to the cruiser, then go to the barn, bid adieu to everyone there, head back to my house, I'll cook you dinner, then you sleep over."

"Sleep over? Sam, I don't want to impose."

"Impose? Do you have any idea how lonely I get? Please, stay for a long, long time."

"Only if you insist." Andy smiled.

"As your superior, I am commanding you to stay the night."

"Fine." Andy faked annoyance. She barely got the word out of her mouth before Sam bent over took out her knees, sweeping her up into his arms. She resisted squealing like a child, but a little noise did escape her. Sam chuckled. He marched down to street level, and set Andy down before hopping into the car. He drove to the station and parked.

"Can we go to the hospital?"

"I was just going to ask if you wanted to go." Sam said, nodding.

"Yeah, that would be great. I'll meet you back here in 20?"

"Works for me."

She smiled her goodbye, and got out. She was the only one in the locker room, except for Noelle.

"Don't hurt him, ok? He's like a brother to the T.O's."

"I wouldn't dream of it, Noelle."

"Good. Oh, by the way, good job quoting me. Swarek sent me a text."

"I figured it would be rude not to give your due credit for such iconic words." Any said smiling at her fellow officer. Noelle laughed.

"Night, McNally."

"Good night, Noelle."

She changed, put on some smoky eye shadow and liner, and met Sam outside in the parking lot.

"You look great." Sam said, his hand brushing her waist as he kissed her cheek.

Arriving at the hospital, Sam flashed his badge, and was told which rooms Dov and Chris were in. Gail looked relieved to have conversations with people who hadn't been here all day, and talked to the pair for nearly 10 minutes. They went into Chris' room first, but he was sleeping, his gash looking very badass. Andy made a mental note to tell him that.

"Looks pretty badass." Sam noted. Andy smiled.

"Yeah it does." Andy laughed, quietly, then smiled down at Chris. They switched rooms. Dov was groggy, but awake. He was a tad loopy as the painkillers took action.

"You two…came together." He lazily smiled.

"Yeah, we did. I've been stupid, haven't I Dov?" Andy said.

"A tad." He grinned again. "But seriously, rock n' roll McNally, Sam's a coolio brother."

"A what? Dov, you need to sleep." Andy laughed. "You'll feel better tomorrow." Andy said, feeling sorry for Dov. They made their way out of the room. Sam put an arm around Andy's waist, whispering softly in her ear.

"Dov will be back on desk duty soon."

"I know. I'll miss him, though."

"I know you will. But, I'll cook you inner tonight, try to get your mind off of it. What do you feel like?"

"I don't care Sam, but thank you."

"Careful, if you say that we may end up with Pizza Pizza and beer."

"Mmm, sounds great."

Sam laughed, as they made their way out of the hospital. They were comfortable with each other, and Sam felt like he was on cloud nine. He thought it was the best day ever….but he knew the next day would be even better, with Andy waking up beside him.

authors note- I couldn't resist putting Dov hopped up on painkillers in here. I'm thinking this is the last chapter, let me know in reviews if you disagree. I do think I might do an epilogue. Please review!
