Disclaimer: Don't own Rookie Blue.
A.N. This is a short chapter to wrap things up and the epilogue is in the editing process.
A.N. 2 - I normally don't answer reviews here but dcj pointed out something that I forgot in the last chapter: at some point Jerry does text Sam to apologize and everything between them is good - Sam just reminds Jerry to listen when he is given orders.
ENJOY!
Sam woke up with Andy in his arms and her head on his chest. She was still asleep and he just sat for a few minutes looking at her. So much had happened in the past few days. He thought he lost her, he could have lost her.
Andy's eyes flickered open and she looked up to meet his eyes. "See something you like officer?" she asked in a seductive voice.
Sam smiled. "I love you."
Andy smiled. "Slide down a little so I can kiss you." She still had to take it easy.
Sam complied and kissed her. When he broke away, he looked at her. "Excited?"
"Are you kidding? Of course. If I never have to be in this bed again it will be too soon. I'm so happy that the doctor said I can go home."
"You promised you would take it easy. You also promised to let me help you."
Andy nodded. "I will. I promise! Just get me out of here." As she finished speaking, a nurse walked in with her discharge papers.
Sam slipped out from under her and headed to the bathroom to change. When he walked out he looked at Andy. She was finishing up with the papers. "I'm going to get the truck and pull it around. I'll see you in a few minutes." He kissed her and helped her stand so she could change into normal clothes.
Minutes later, he was lifting her from a wheelchair into the truck. He kissed her cheek before closing the door.
He climbed into the driver's seat and glanced at her. She was buckled and practically bouncing up and down. He grinned. "Someone's excited."
Andy smiled. "I can't wait to go home and sleep in our bed. I really hate hospitals."
"Don't we all" he chuckled as he pulled out. They were on the road for a few minutes before he glanced at her. "Listen, I have an idea."
Andy smirked. "Uhoh! Sam's thinking."
Sam stuck his tongue out at her. "You were injured on the job so you are on paid leave. I have a lot of vacation time."
Andy wondered where this conversation was going. "So…"
"So, I spoke to your doctor yesterday. If all goes as planned, he said you should be clear to travel after your appointment in three days. As long as you take it easy."
Andy started to see his line of thought. "Where are we going?"
Sam pulled into the driveway and killed the engine. "My mother and sister really want to meet you and my mother wants the chance to pamper her future daughter-in-law. She wanted to come to Toronto after I told her we were engaged but I told her not to. She was even more upset when she found out you were injured on the job and I still told her not to come. How would you feel about spending some time in St. Catharines?"
Andy glanced at him. She did want to meet his parents as well as his sister and her family. "Okay." She leaned over and kissed him. "I can't wait to meet them." Staying by his sister or his parents would also give Sam a little more freedom. She worried about him. He was pretty much always by her side since she was injured, except for when she practically kicked him out. It was partially her fault, the first day she lived in fear that he would die and it caused him to try to be with her every second, not considering his own needs.
Sam grinned and came around the side of the car to carry her into the house, directly up to their bed.
A.N. The epilogue should be posted soon (hopefully tomorrow) - I'm almost finished! Reviews make my day so please review and let me know what you think.
