First of all, many thanks for all the reviews and feedback. You guys have been awesome and it is greatly appreciated. Second, I am sorry for going all cliff hanger on the last chapter. I got mixed reviews on that. It was not my intention when I started the chapter but if I am being completely honest...It was late and I wanted to go to bed. Poor excuse I know, but it is the truth. Anyway, Thanks again, you guys are fantastic:-)

Andy picked up the phone and dialed the doctors office. Sam sat on the couch and watched Andy pace back and forth. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the couch instantly calming her nerves.

Andy: This is Andrea McNally, I am calling about some test results.

Sam rubs her back as she waits for the nurse to give her the test results. Andy looks at Sam while she is waiting for the nurse to answer.

Andy: We are going to be okay right? Either way?

Sam: We are going to be better than okay. We are in this together, for the long haul no matter what.

Andy smiles at him

Nurse: Ms McNally?

Andy: Yes, this is Andy McNally

Nurse: Hi Andy, so your results are in and they are negative, you are not pregnant.

Andy: Oh really? Okay, thank you.

Nurse: If you still are not feeling well in a couple days please give us a call.

Andy: Great, thank you. I will.

Andy hung up the phone and turned to Sam.

Andy: False alarm. Sorry I freaked you out. she gets up from her seat and starts to walk to the kitchen when Sam grabs her hand and pulls her onto his lap.

Sam: You did not freak me out.

Andy: I know you say that but...

Sam: I would have been happy, I mean that. What about you?

Andy: What do you mean?

Sam: Andy, i saw the look on your face when she told you. You did not exactly look excited. Are you disappointed?

Andy: No, I mean we are not ready for that.

Sam: Really?

Andy: I don't know...When Gail asked me if I was pregnant it completely freaked me out, I honestly did not even consider it. I mean we had never discussed having a baby and it just freaked me out.

Sam: Do you still feel the same?

Andy: No. On the way from the doctors, I let myself picture it for a minute, us having a family. I realized that I do want that, and I want it with you.

A big smile crosses Sam's face and he leans in and kisses her.

Sam: I want that too. I have to tell you, I am glad this happened. There has been so much happening since we got back together that we never talked about the really big things. I want to marry you, I want to have a baby with you. Maybe now is not the time but when it is we will be ready.

Andy has tears in her eyes : Are you disappointed?

Sam: No, it will happen when it happens. Are you?

Andy: Honestly? A little.

Sam: Well now that we know we want to have a baby, I really think we have our work cut out for us.

Andy: Oh really?

Sam: Practice makes perfect McNally.

Andy: Sam, no...you are recovering from a gunshot wound.

With Andy still on his lap Sam stands up picking her up on the way.

Andy: Sam!

Sam: See...perfectly healthy.

Andy: You are going to hurt yourself.

Sam: If I can survive you jumping me and cuffing me in an alley, I can survive anything.

Andy: But...

Sam: Less, talking McNally.

And with that he carried her into their room. She stopped arguing with him. She knew he was right about all of it. Some day they would be married with a family and for the first time, that didn't scare her. She was with the person she was meant to be with and for the first time in her life she felt completely safe. She knew it wouldn't always be easy, and she didn't care because she had Sam, and that was all that mattered.

There is one more chapter to follow...stay tuned
