Andy sat on her bed, her knees pulled up to her chest. It had been a week since she found out she had a brother, a week since Dov had been to her apartment. She had ignored calls from everyone except Traci and Chris. Traci had told her Chris had flew into a rage and had to be pulled off Dov and they were no longer speaking to him. Sam interrupted her thoughts "am I calling Frank again today or do you feel up to it?"
Andy sighed "no I better go in. I have to face them sometime"
Sam sat beside her "it will be fine, Epstein will get nowhere near you."
"It's not that, I just don't want all the looks and everything that comes with it." Andy said.
"I made you breakfast, you need to eat. You've barley touched anything in two days." Sam said
"I know, I'll eat, can we get it to go? I just want to get it over with." Andy replied climbing out of the bed.
"Sure, you get dressed and I'll put the food into a tin." Sam smiled and left her to it, he had missed her at work.
They had arrived at the station five minutes ago, Andy hadn't moved. Sam sat beside her in silence, she was nervous her heart was beating out of her chest. Who was she kidding she wanted to run to Dov and tell him he was her friend, she did love him too, and everything was all okay, but she couldn't, he had hurt her . He had called around a few times but yelling at him through the intercom was as close as he got. She was torn he really was a good friend, apart from the Daniel thing.
"Are we going to just sit here or are we going to work ?" Sam said.
"Sorry lets go" Andy took a deep breath and climbed out of the truck grabbing Sam's hand as soon as he rounded the truck. He squeezed back letting her know he was there as they headed inside.
"Andyyy" Traci yelled happily as she ran towards her jumping at her "I am so glad you're back, it has been a nightmare with these two" she pointed to Chris and Gail.
"Hey Andy glad to see you back, I've missed you" Chris took her In a bone crushing hug.
"Glad to see you Andy" Gail briefly hugged her and stepped back.
"Thanks guys good to be back, where's Dov?" She asked looking around
"Oh he sits in the locker room now until he knows we're all seated inside" Gail said.
"Yeah he doesn't try talk to anyone" Chris added.
Andy sighed turning to Sam "give me a few minutes before you come in to change" Sam nodded. "I'll see you guys in a bit" Andy made her way to the men's locker rooms. She took a deep breath and pushed the door open quietly. She saddened as she saw the wreak that used to be Dov, he was slumped forward looking like he hadn't slept in just as long as her. He was looking at a picture of her and him and another of her, him, and Chris smiling happily. A tear dropped onto it, Andy's heart broke, she couldn't take it anymore. She quickly made her way over to him, slid up the bench beside him and slipped her arm around his shoulder. She leaned her forehead against the side of his head, Dov didn't move "I've missed you" Andy whispered.
Dov jumped up "Andy!" he had no idea it was Andy, he didn't really care who it was. Andy stood and pulled him into a hug. "I promise I will never lie to you again, ever. I am so sorry Andy" he was crying fully now pulling her closer to him. "I thought you would never speak to me again."
"Just shut up Dov and enjoy the moment" Andy laughed through tears. She leaned back to look at him, "I love ya you know, can't stay mad at you. But were still not okay, we have some work to do."
"Anything Andy, you name it, I'll do it" Dov said lifting her up and twirling her around. Putting her back on the ground he pulled her into a death grip.
Sam smiled watching from the doorway, he put his arm out to stop Oliver going in. "What gives Sammy?" Oliver looked inside at the two hugging in silent tears. "Oh" he said smiling and walking off.
Andy finally pulled away "I need to get changed, wait for me here" Dov nodded and she ran to change in her own locker room. Five minutes later she was back, "lets go" she took him by the hand and walked to parade, ignoring the looks their friends were throwing at him. She sat beside Traci telling Dov to sit on the other side of her, in-between herself and Chris.
Frank arrived "welcome back McNally" he nodded at her. "Okay Swarek and Kelly" Andy shot Sam a look, Jessica Kelly was the rookie who fell all over Sam. "Nash and Peck, Diaz and Jones, Williams and Dwyer, Shaw you're solo and finally McNally and Epstein"
"What?" Sam and Chris yelled at the same time.
"Problem Swarek ? Diaz ?" Frank asked looking to one then the other.
"Yeah I have" Chris said jumping from his chair, "you can't be serious putting him and Andy together after what he did to her."
"Well unless McNally speaks up I don't see a problem" Frank said looking to Andy.
Andy grabbed Chris "Sit down and shut up Chris, no sir it's no problem"
"And do you have the same problem Swarek ?" Frank asked looking to the back where Sam was standing.
"No sir, I am fully aware they have made up" Sam said looking at Dov
"So what is your problem then?" Frank asked
Sam sighed "can I speak to you in private for a second?" Frank walked to him, Sam pulled him closer and whispered "Kelly has a crush on me, like really bad it is too uncomfortable" Frank nodded and went back up to the top of the room.
"Okay change of plan, Swarek doesn't want to upset his girlfriend on her first day back." A few people laughed "so Shaw, you get Kelly and Swarek you are solo. Serve, protect and sort your problems at home. I am not Oprah, dismissed."
Jessica Kelly walked pass Andy and muttered 'bitch' Traci grabbed her "you got something to say rook?"
"Nope" she smiled and kept walking.
"Yeah thought so" Traci yelled after her.
Sam walked over to Dov. "Epstein I am willing to let what happened go for Andy's sake, but if you so much as get out of the car without her I'll find out. You hear what I'm saying?"
"I do, I promise I will stay with her all day, even if she needs to pee" Dov smiled happy people were talking to him again.
Andy and Dov made their way to the front desk when Traci called Andy. "hey Andy, these came for you" she held up a bunch of flowers.
Andy walked back with Dov "is there a card ?"
Traci scanned the bunch "uh, yep here" she pulled out the small card and handed it to Andy.
Andy just looked at it. 'I think It's time we had a proper chat, can I meet you after shift ? Your friend has my number if you want to arrange it, Daniel.' Andy looked from Traci to Dov "what do I do?"
"Well he is your brother Andy, you can't change that. I'd say go for it, bring someone along or talk here" Traci suggested
"It's up to you Andy, do you want to see him again?" Dov asked
Sam walked over "who's the lucky lady?" he smiled nodding to the flowers.
"Your girlfriend" Traci smirked as the smile fell off his face.
"From who?" he asked.
"Daniel" Andy said "he wants to meet me after shift. I don't know what to do Sam"
"What is your gut telling you?" Sam asked her.
"Meet him, I mean he is my brother. I should get to know him right?" She looked at Sam willing for him to give her an answer.
"Only you can decide that babe, but I'll be with you whatever you decide." He kissed her "I have to go, I'll see you later" Sam said and he headed off to his car.
Andy stood for a few minutes, Traci and Dov just looking from each other back to Andy. Finally she broke out of her Daze. "I'll call him" she said pulling out the card he gave her. She dialled his number and took a deep breath, it answered on the third ring.
"Hey its um.. It's Andy" Andy said nervously
"Oh hey I'm so glad you called, did you get the flowers?" Daniel said from the other end
"Uh yes thank you. Listen we do need to talk, but here at the station and Sam will probably be here too."
"That's not a problem, I don't care how many people are there. I'm just glad you want to talk. What time do you finish?" Daniel asked
"Six but it could run over, depending on the calls we get, then I'd have to change and that." Andy replied
"Okay so I'll see you at seven then, gives you an extra hour. You can call me again if your not ready"
"I will, I better go, I'll see you at seven." Andy said looking to Traci. Who gave her the thumbs up
"Okay be careful out there today, I'll see you soon sis" Daniel said before hanging up
Andy looked at Dov "lets head out, see ya later Trac" Andy called as they walked out the exit.
Andy was distracted walking to the car she was thinking about Daniel. She was very nervous, she was pulled from her thoughts by Dov yelling. "No way Andy look!" he pointed over her shoulder. Andy was in shock there was Jessica Kelly and Luke Callaghan kissing beside a cruiser her cruiser.
"Great they had to pick my car" she said out loud as the neared the car. "Okay, move it along rook. You're on my car and don't you have a boyfriend?" She asked a smirking Jessica. "And you Luke, what she's your rookie of the year like I was ? you going to ask her to marry you too ? and then cheat on her "
"What?" Jessica said "you went out with her too?" She asked looking at Andy with a glare "who else have you been with? and I do have a boyfriend, not that it is any of your business" she yelled walking off .Luke trailing behind her.
"Slut" Dov called after her. "What?" he looked at a smirking Andy.
"Nothing, my thoughts exactly first Sam, I wonder did she try it on with him too? You know she tried it with Jerry as well. I feel sorry for her boyfriend." Andy said.
"What, Traci didn't say. She would kick her ass" Dov said climbing into the car.
"I don't think she knows, and she so would" Andy laughed as she pulled on her seatbelt.
The morning had went by quickly not much happened. A minor car accident, a disturbance at a shopping mall and a drunk guy at ten am. It was now lunch time, she had talked Chris into meeting them with his partner for lunch even though he was not happy about being in Dov's company. Diane Jones was very quiet, she had taken her lunch and sat in the cruiser while Andy Dov and Chris sat in silence on the hood.
"So Chris" Andy started while Dov had run to the bathroom. "Are you ever going to speak to Dov ? I have put it behind me. I think you should too, he misses you."
"I can't Andy, what if that guy was a serial killer or something? He said he would drive you back to the station what if you never made it back ? Dov should have at least said no and waited outside for you not left you alone with a stranger. He should of told Sam what happened, we were all worried looking for you. He helped Andy, who does that?" Chris was getting annoyed thinking about it.
"Chris I know where you're coming from, I had a week to think about it. He was trying to help, not his smartest move texting Sam. But he was just trying to help so for me will you think about it for the day? You guys are best friends. I know you miss him too." Andy bumped Chris's shoulder.
"Okay fine Andy only for you I'll think about it" Chris said as he stood to go. Dov appeared behind him "Later man" Chris nodded and got into his car and headed off.
"What was that all about Andy ?" Dov looked puzzled, Chris had not spoken to him in nearly a week.
"Nothing Dov, lets get going" a small smile crept up on Andy's face as she climbed in behind the wheel.
Shift had ended, Andy paced the locker rooms still in her uniform it was now half six. They had arrived back in time today so she had a full hour to herself and her thoughts. She was still pacing when Traci came in. Traci took one look at her and went to find Sam. Traci arrived back a minute later with Sam, Andy was still pacing fidgeting with her fingers. Sam told Traci to wait outside for a minute as he slipped into the room and watched her.
"Andy" Sam called softly, She didn't hear him so he tried a bit louder "McNally"
Andy jumped but stopped pacing. "I can't do it Sam, I can't, I mean what am I meant to say? sorry I haven't seen you in 24 years, my mother ran off and left me with a father with a drink problem."
Sam smiled "Andy he doesn't think like that, he just wants t get to know his sister. He wouldn't have come looking for you otherwise."
"How do you know he won't hate me?" Andy started pacing again.
"Andy" Sam put his hand out to stop her. "You are a great kind hearted person, anyone would love to have you in their life. I loved you from the first time I saw you and that is saying something" Sam joked trying to lighten the mood. "He will love you just like me, Nash and everyone else does."
Andy smiled, "thank you Sam, you always know just what to say." Andy saw the clock over his shoulder "I better get ready he'll be here soon. Will you wait for me ?"
"Sure I'll be around with Jerry, call me when you're done." Sam kissed her on the forehead and left her to get ready.
Daniel stood outside the station he was nervous too, he had the same thoughts as Andy. What if she hated him? What if she wanted to know why he only came to her now? Daniel took a deep breath and entered the station, he was just about to ask the officer behind the counter if he knew where Andy was when he heard a voice behind him.
"Daniel hey" Andy called nervously from the bench she was sitting on, Sam had gone to get her coffee.
"Hey Andy" Daniel replied making her way over to her "where's Sam ? I thought he was joining us."
"Yeah he is, he's just gett.." Andy was cut off by yelling.
"Just because I tried it on with your boyfriend and made out with your ex in front of you doesn't give you the right to report me you jealous bi…." Jessica's eyes widened as she seen who Andy was talking to. "Hey babe" she said to Daniel "w... What are you doing here?" she asked nervously.
Daniel looked completely hurt by what his girlfriend had just said, he shook it off "I came to talk to my sister" he said pointing to Andy. "Who I believe you already know, oh and Jess we're so over" he turned his back away from her and looked at Andy.
"Wait Daniel, I was only trying to piss her off it meant nothing. Wait did you say sister? this bitch is your sister ? Why did you never tell me ?" Jessica was now yelling.
"If you had of shown an interest when I showed you the photo's my mom gave me or listened when I tried to tell you, you would have knowing." Daniel yelled back
Traci had arrived in the hallway she stopped at the scene before her. "Hey Trac" Andy yelled. "Rook here cheated on my brother and tried it on with Jerry and Sam, you got some tricks up them sleeves of yours ?"
Traci nodded "it is so on rook my boyfriend as well seriously " she grabbed Jessica along with Gail and dragged her off to do god knows what.
"So Daniel, you never said Jessica was your girlfriend, why not?" Andy asked.
"You never asked guess that is why we're here to talk" Daniel smiled.
"Sure we can move somewhere more private when Sam gets back. Luke," Andy said as Luke passed her with a nod of hello.
"Hey are you Luke Callaghan that Andy here was engaged to ?" Daniel asked with A smirk. They hadn't knowing about each other but Andy sensed what was about to happen and smirked with him.
"Yes, yes I am" Luke replied a little confused as to why he was asking and why they were both smirking.
Daniel swung his fist into his face, Luke stumbled backwards. "That is for cheating on my sister" Daniel yelled walking towards him, punching him in the gut. "And that is for making out with my girlfriend this morning"
Andy laughed but seen the look Sam gave her from across the room she stopped. "Okay Daniel that's enough. How about we go" she said pulling him away.
"Sorry Andy anger just came over me, he's a tool. I know by just looking at him he was no good for you." Daniel said still a little angry.
Andy smiled before she could speak Sam started talking. "Yeah well I wanted to do the same thing when I found out what he did" Sam said handing him a coffee. "I'm Sam Swarek by the way, Andy's boyfriend, we never properly talked."
"Daniel McNally" He said shaking Sam's hand "so where do we start?" he asked looking to Andy.
"Do I have anymore brothers or sisters?" Andy asked.
"Nope just me, but mom's new husband has two daughters. Their mother was killed in a car accident when they were small so I sort of do" Daniel replied.
"Okay where do you live?" Andy asked
"A little outside the city, I live with a friend and Jess but she will be gone by tomorrow. No more chances for her, I don't know what is wrong with that girl sometimes. I gave her everything Daniel said sadly.
"I am sorry Daniel, I don't like her but still I am sorry. So she has cheated on you before ?" Andy asked.
"Yeah twice, and me like a fool took her back. The first time we where only together a week and the second was one of her friends an ex actually I made her choose, she chose me and I took her back, , Well not this time. what will Traci and Gail do to her ?" Daniel asked slightly amused .
"Ah put the shower on her fully clothed or something stupid like that. They won't hurt her if that's what you're worried about" Andy said.
"Nah she can look after herself, hey" he turned to Andy and Sam. "Let me take you guys to dinner, I had planned on you meeting my girlfriend but that didn't work out so well.
"Or" Sam started "how about you come to my house and I'll cook while you two talk."
"Sounds good" Daniel replied "lead the way" he said standing up.
"Sam is a really good cook you will love anything he makes" Andy smiled as they made their way down the hallway
"Yeah" Sam laughed "I can't get rid of her now"
"Oh shut up Sam, you know you love me being there" Andy giggled
"Of course I do, but my place is starting to look less like a bachelor pad and more like a girls house with all your stuff around it" Sam laughed
"Well you're not a bachelor any more, are you?" Andy smiled
"Nope" Sam grinned but you can't break my image McNally"
Daniel watched their antics and smiled he could see they were in love.
Andy was about to say something else, but turned around to the laughter behind her. Jessica ran by them soaking wet from head to toe, "Shower ?" She asked Traci. Traci nodded "nice I'll see you tomorrow guys" Andy waved as they made their way out to the lot.
"So how are you finding him ?" Sam asked as they walked to his truck and Daniel went to his own car.
"So far so good" Andy said as they climbed into he truck, Daniel would follow. Now The next part is tricky, what am I going to say to my Dad ?"
