Andy and Sam were just exiting the law firm Mary Daniels worked for when Sam's phone started chirping. He shifted the files he was holding to his other hand and answered the call.

"Swarek."

Andy tried to hear what was being said through the phone but the downtown commotion was too much.

"Okay, we didn't get much except some coworker testimonials. Let's meet back at 15 and get together with Anderson and try to put something together."

Sam tapped off. "That was Epstein, he and Price got some stuff from the roommate."

"That's good. Hopefully Anderson has gotten some info from the parents."

They got in Sam's unmarked squad car and headed back toward 15. When they arrived, Andy made a stop in the lounge to get coffee for her and Sam and then met him at his desk.

"Thanks Honey," Sam said when she set the hot beverage down for him. He stood up and gave her a quick kiss.

Dov walked in shortly after that and sat down at his desk. "I stopped by Anderson's office, she said she'd be right up." Sure enough, Frankie came up the stairs just then. Andy leaned on the desk behind Sam and Frankie leaned on the desk pair across from Sam and Dov's. They each went over the key findings from their respective interviews. In the end they were able to determine that they had nothing concrete. Her job provided plenty of motive but her recent case files didn't point to any likely suspect. The parents lived out of town and therefore didn't have much of a feel for their Daughter's day-to-day life. Dov had initiated a trace on her phone number but that had come back empty so it was either off or destroyed. The phone records were still coming through and Dov had them tapped to go straight to Frankie. Chloe was checking surveillance footage from near the bus stop down the street from the apartment to establish about what time Mary got home. And nobody had any clue how or even if the photo of Drew was connected. Or if the guy's name was even Drew.

"So, basically, we got shit to go on right now." Everyone sort of shrugged, unable to deny it. "Well, thanks for the help guys," Franke said. "I'm still kind of swamped from taking on the load from the Peck fiasco. So, really, I appreciate it. I'll take it from here, let you know if anything develops. I'll bump this photo up to Nash, see if she's got anything on this 'Drew' guy."

"We could stay and help you out some more," Sam offered. "At least try to get a more thorough timeline if not a working theory."

"Nah, your shift's over, wouldn't want to keep you from your evenings." She gave a sly wink to Sam and walked out.

Sam smiled to himself. Of course Frankie would remember it was his and Andy's one-month anniversary. It was, after all, also the one-month anniversary for her and Gail in whatever sort of relationship they had. From what Dov had surmised, it was mostly about the sex.

Andy stood up and said, "I guess I'll go change out. Be back in 10."

Dov logged out of his computer and wished Sam and Andy a good night before heading out.

Sam checked his watch, just after 7. Plenty of time to get to the restaurant. Then he opened up his bottom desk drawer and pocketed the small box that was hidden under a stack of folders. One more surprise that only he knew about. He still had some time before Andy would be back so he walked over to Oliver's office to thank him for letting Andy work with him that shift.

"Don't mention it, Brother. I felt bad about this morning too and thought what could I do to make her feel better. Also, talked to Jarvis, and I think we came up with something. There is going to be a sergeant position opening up on this platoon. Campbell is retiring at the end of November. We'd like to promote Andy to that position. Obviously she needs to go through the proper channels though. Take the test, apply, interview, et cetera. Obviously we can't just pick her but she'll get it if she does those steps."

"Wow that's great, Oliver, she'll be thrilled."

"Right, just one more caveat. She can't know about any of this. She has to go through this process not knowing what Jarvis, me, and now you, know. In fact, I probably shouldn't have even told you, but I trust you to keep this on lock. Otherwise both of our asses are in the sling."

"My lips are sealed."

"Good, now it's on you to get her there. Nudge her in that direction."

"I can do that."

"That's what I like to hear, now, you kids go enjoy your night."

"See you tomorrow, Brother."

Sam got back to his desk to find Andy waiting for him. "Ready to go, beautiful?"

"Yeah, I'm starving. I could really go for Pizza."

Sam grinned as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and walked with her out of the Station. "You don't say?"

It didn't take long for Andy figure out that Sam wasn't driving to the Penny or home. "Where are you taking me, detective?"

"You said you were hungry, didn't you? Well, it just so happens that I have reservations for us."

"The last time you said that, we ended up eating pizza in bed."

Sam looked over and smiled at her then pulled the trunk over in front of a valet stand and got out. He walked around and handed his keys to the valet and opened Andy's door and helped her out.

Andy looked up at the restaurant in front of her. "Well, Detective Swarek, I stand corrected." They kissed deeply and then Sam led her in to Buca.

After the romantic dinner, they sat finishing off the bottle of wine they had ordered. "That's going to be tough to top every month," Andy remarked, smiling.

Sam pulled the small box out of his pocket. "In that case, maybe I should save this for next time." Sam let the tease hang for a bit before handing the box to her.

Andy opened the box and her heart melted. It was a silver chain with two intertwined silver hearts. One heart said 'Andria' and the other said 'Samuel'. The intersection of the two hearts was graced with their wedding date.

"Sam this is beautiful, I love it."

Sam stood up and walked around the table to stand behind his wife. He put the necklace around her neck and latched it. Andy looked up and they kissed again.

When they broke off she said, "I love you Sam Swarek."

"I love you Andy McNally."

The drive home was thankfully short and both of them were already tugging at the other's clothes before the door was completely shut. Sam shrugged off his shirt and picked Andy up. He carried Andy up the stairs, into their bedroom and on to the bed, both of them trailing clothes the whole way.

The next day was a Saturday that they both had off. Sam had arranged with Marlo to take Mia for the day while Marlo packed. She had accepted a job in Hamilton and was moving there the following weekend. Sam was a bit upset to have his daughter move out of the city, although Hamilton wasn't too far and he could still see her with relative ease anytime he wanted to.

Andy, on the other hand was a little bit happy that Marlo was leaving town. It was nothing personal anymore, she just wanted to have her life with Sam and not have to worry about his past hanging around him more than necessary. She, too, would miss Mia. Andy's love for the child was second only to the love she'd feel for her own children someday. And Sam of course.

As Sam drove over to Marlo's, Andy was pondering that future with Sam. Kids, a nice house and yard, cookouts and parties with friends and family. It was the life she had always dreamed of and now she had the man of her dreams by her side.

They both had a blast watching over Mia, who was just a couple months old now. She always put a smile on both of their faces. Often times Sam would sit down and admire how Andy was with Mia, and picture her with their children. He couldn't wait. When Mia was around, Sam and Boo would get thrown on Andy's back burner sometimes. Sam didn't mind and he suspected Boo didn't either so long as he still got some attention eventually.

As the day drew to a close and they had dropped Mia back off with Marlo, the Swareks settled in on the couch and flipped through the TV. They landed on the news which was previewing the Maple Leafs' chances for the upcoming season. In short, not good. But if they tanked well enough there was a promising American playing in Switzerland that would be draft eligible in the spring.

"Only one more year," Sam said with fake enthusiasm. He'd believe it when he saw it.

Andy giggled. "Today was great Sam."

"Not as good as last night," Sam suggested with a wink.

"I can't wait for kids of our own."

"I don't know," Sam threw on some mock jealously. "Me and Boo were pretty lonely over here when you were playing with Mia."

Andy smiled and shook her head at him. "I'm serious Sam."

"I understand, I want that too. I was only kidding." The kissed passionately, longingly, until they had to break for air.

"Speaking of future plans," Sam began, "how do you feel about the sergeant's exam?"
