Rookie Blue and its original concepts do not belong to me.

"Oh, ok. I'll come find you once I`m on my break," she said and I caught Tristan's wince. I guess she wasn't getting any breaks any time soon, I thought just a bit smugly.
"Uh sure," I said and made my escape.
Once I was clear of the examination rooms, I sighed loudly.
Oh god, since when did asking a girl out become such a hard thing to do?
This could not end well I thought, and a flash of what would have happened between us if Tristan didn't interrupt floated through my head.
Yup, I decided. This could not end well.
I kept my eyes on my black runners as I quickly made my way to the elevators.
When the elevators opened, I ran headlong into someone coming out. I looked up with the intention of muttering a quick apology and proceeding into the elevator.
The familiar face stopped me from doing that however.
"Hey, where have you been? I've called you about a million times," said Jerry.
"What? I didn't get any calls," I said and pulled out my phone. Sure enough, I had four missed calls from Jerry.
"Oh wait. Shit. Sorry about that. I didn't know that I had my ringer on silent." I said and set my phone to vibrate.
"So why did you call?"
"Apparently after you left Andy's room, her monitors showed some sort of change."
At his words my heart started to pound in my chest and I was suddenly tuned into what was coming out of his mouth.
"I don't know exactly what happened, but from what I heard, her heart rate picked up all of a sudden and her monitors detected some movement and—"
"Wait, she moved?" I said grasping Jerry's arm tightly.
"From what I've heard, that`s what it seems like. But Sam—" he began before I could hurry off to Andy.
"It doesn't mean much. You know as well as any of us that some involuntary body movement in comatose patients is normal."
"But it could have been voluntary," I said.
"It could have been that her body was getting ready to come out of the coma," I said and turned towards the stairwell.
"Wait Sam!" I heard Jerry call from behind me.
"Where are you going?"
"To see Andy" I yelled over my shoulder without stopping and pushed open the doors. I ran down the flights of stairs to the second floor.
I shoved open the doors and ran out into the hall. And somehow without even looking at the signs on the walls, I knew I was going in the right direction.
Sure enough, minutes later I was standing in front of her room. Touching the door handle, I took a deep breath before pushing it open.
Inside, an elderly nurse stood at Andy's head writing something on a clipboard in her hands.
At the sound of my entrance, she looked up at me with cornflower blue eyes.
"Oh hello." She said softly.
"Hello," I said softly.
"How is she?"
The nurse looked down at Andy once again and a soft smile appeared on her face.
"She's a fighter, I can tell you that much. It looks like she's already doing much much better."
My heart fluttered in my chest at her words.
"So you think she'll wake up soon?" I asked.
"Oh definitely," she said and her smile bloomed.
"I'd expect her to wake up within the week. Now I`m not supposed to be saying stuff like that to you. Getting your hopes up and such. But I she'll pull through. I can see it on her face."
After another moment of looking at Andy, she switched her gaze up to me again.
"Are you the husband?"
My throat closed and for a second I couldn't breathe. Her husband? My wife?
Taking a deep breath I shook my head.
"No, I uh..."
"Oh, so you're the boyfriend then," she said with a smile.
"Uh, n—" I began but she cut me off.
"The two of you look adorable together" she said and looked at Andy then back at me as if confirming her thought.
"Um, well—"
"Ah, young love," she said sounding wistful.
"So full of life."
And then her eyes widened as if she just realized something.
"Oh you poor dear," she said as she shuffled over to me much faster than I would expect an old lady to move.
"You must be so afraid to see her like this."
I look down intently into Andy's face.
"Yes..." I said softly as I looked down at her.
"Don't you worry dear," she said in a motherly tone.
"She'll be right as rain, you just watch. And soon you'll be walking her down the aisle and holding your babies." She said and my heart clenched.
If only... I thought.
I said nothing. Only looked at Andy silently and after a moment, the woman rubbed my back.
"Don't worry. Everything will work out." She said almost as if she knew exactly what I was going through right now.
"I hope so..." I said softly.
"Now I`m just going to leave the two of you alone for a bit. You should talk to her. My senses tell me that it won't be long now. Just you wait and see," she said and moved towards the door.
"Oh and my name's Bernadette, just call me Bernie," she said as she opened the door.
"Sam Swarek," I said as I turned to face her.
She smiled and turned around. But before she left she looked over her shoulder at me.
"Have faith Sam..." she said and then left.
So there it is :)
