Second chapter for today!

A.N. Now where was I...

"You said today was going to be a perfect day. How?"

"Andy…" He didn't want to discuss it.

"Please, tell me Sam."

Sam sighed. When it came to Andy he could not deny her anything. "Yesterday, I was working with Guns and Gangs. Emily told them that my partner and I had given up the USB for her freedom. Detective Islough was really impressed. Without even asking for your name he said that he thought it would be icing on the cake if the two people who had let Hill walk in exchange for Emily would be the ones ultimately arresting him.

"The plan was that I was going to tell you in the morning – Frank was going to detail the two of us to Guns and Gangs. My plan was to make breakfast for you and tell you over breakfast in bed.

"Since this arrest was a planned one, we were actually supposed to do a lot of the processing paperwork before the arrest. The Drug Squad wanted him booked as quickly as possible.

"I was told that after the arrest we would have the rest of the day off." He leaned closer and kissed her ear. "The park…a picnic dinner…watching the sunset…"

Andy shivered. One of the things she loved to do when they both had a day off was have a picnic dinner at the park and watch the sunset. They had done it a few times already and she loved being with Sam and just watching the beauty of nature.

"Sam, was there something else?" She turned to meet his eyes.

"Andy…"

She took a deep breath. "Were you going to propose?"

"Andy…"

She moved so that she was totally on top of him instead of curled up against him. It hurt her but she had to see his whole face. She placed her hands on his cheeks, cupping his face. "You were. I want you to do it now."

"Andy, not now." He looked away from her.

"Sam, please, look at me." She was pleading and she didn't care. Holding back the tears, she didn't want to cry in front of him, she took a deep breath. His eyes met hers again. "Yesterday, Readago caught me by surprise. He slashed my hand. I was able to get the clip out of my gun. I knew I had more ammo in my belt so I threw the gun behind me. I figured if he went for the gun, I could tackle him. Instead, he pulled my hands behind me and cuffed me to the pole after kicking the door shut. I kept struggling and he cut my cheek and told me to shut up.

"He cut the cord on the radio but Dov kept trying my cell phone. Finally he pulled my cell phone out of my pocket. After Dov called, he started scrolling through my phone. He made a phone call or pretended to make one." She took a deep breath. "When he hung up, he told me Dov was dead. It pained me but I didn't want him to see my fear. Then he told me my dad was dead. That hurt also. But what hurt the most was when he said 'and Sam, I just made sure that he's dead too'. That was when I fainted; I couldn't bear the emotional pain."

Sam made a strange sound. "Oh, Andy, you don't –"

She cut him off. "I do need to tell you. When someone waved those smelling salts in front of me, all I could think of was how I lost you. And then you were there.

"Life as a cop is a dangerous life Sam. I don't want to wait anymore. I want to be yours and I want you to be mine; forever."

Sam moved his arms around her and gently shifted so that they were still face to face but they were both lying on their sides. "You're hurting yourself. I do want you to be mine forever." He kissed her gently and was not surprised when she deepened it.

When she broke for air, Sam slipped out from under her. He stood and then helped her into a sitting position before bending down on one knee. "This should have been in a more romantic setting but you insisted and I can't deny you anything. I love you Andy McNally. I was going to propose today and based on your words…" he fumbled for something in his jacket pocket. He pulled out a small box. "Will you marry me?" He flipped open the box to reveal a small diamond ring. When he had mentioned it once, Andy had specifically requested nothing fancy.

Andy smiled. "I love you Sam Swarek. Of course I will marry you."

Sam took the ring out of the box and Andy held out her finger. Sam placed the ring on her finger and then stood up. He stretched for a second and then sat down on the bed. "I love you." He drew her in for a kiss. While he kissed her, he maneuvered her so that she was lying down. The doctor had told her to take it easy and he was worried that she was going to rip her stitches.

When they finally broke for air, they were both out of breath. Andy used the controls to move her bed to a better sitting position. Sam sat facing her and the two fell into a lighthearted conversation about possible wedding plans.

A.N. Still many unanswered questions and a couple of new twists in the next few chapters.

Reviews make my day and give me the motivation to continue on so let me know what you think.
