Morning came and the couple had smiles plastered on their faces and to them, it was the best night that any of either of them ever had. Climbing out of bed and getting ready for work, they knew it was going to be a good day.
'So when can I flash off my ring then?'
Anytime you want, unless you want to keep our engagement a secret for a while?'
'I'd love to but I don't know if I can hold in the excitement and I want to get married soon, I don't want this engagement to stretch out too long. Besides, I don't do time and space.
'Well McNally, you seem to have your head screwed on right so I'm leaving this wedding -'
'Woah you are not getting out of wedding planning mister, you proposed to me. Therefore you help me in planning our wedding and before you say it, no we are not going to Vegas and elope, its tacky and I don't want to drag Oliver and Traci to Vegas and see an Elvis impersonator marry us do you understand Swarek?'
'Yes ma'am, he swatted her ass with a towel, teasing her, trying to get her back in to bed.
'No Sam behave I don't want to be late and I want a little bit of time with my friends to show off this beautiful ring you gave me,' smiling she wrapped her arms around his strong waist leaning into him for comfort. Whispering she said, 'I know Traci helped you pick out the ring, she didn't say it but I know you in a jewellery shop are like being a deer caught in the headlights.' With that Andy, left the bedroom smirking happy that she managed to tease him slightly about the ring. The ring was gorgeous, it was a gold band with 3 small diamonds in the centre it wasn't flashy which is what made Andy fall in love with it.
'Serve and protect people!' Best called as he dismissed everyone from the Parade and onto duty, Andy and Sam were partnered differently and they both wondered what they had done to piss him off.
'Swarek McNally, my office before you go on patrol.'
What did you do now, McNally? Every time we both get called into the principal's office it is because you do something stupid' rolling his eyes as they made their way to office. Smirking, Andy replied with 'it may be you that has gotten into trouble, badass Swarek, after all you do know trouble when you see it.'
'Yeah I'm stood right next to it.'
'Are you two going to enter or are you going to stand outside the door, discussing what you have and haven't done?'
It had been hours since they both sat at the opposite side of the desk and listened to what Frank had to say, they both looked up to him and didn't want to argue any further.
'So what's eating you Andy? You are awfully quiet and you and I can talk for hours.' Dov was questioning Andy, he meant well but she was upset and it was frustrating for her all the same.
'Nothing is eating me Dov, I'm just in the process of thinking things through that's all.' Sighing, Andy turned herself away from Dov and stared out of the window, as nature passed her by.
Her long, dragged out shift had ended with a few arrests here and there but not a particular interesting 9 hours of work. Sighing she grabbed her bag off of the bench and made her way to the car park where the truck and her man will be waiting.
'Hey you ready to go?'
'Yeah sure, what are we having for dinner?' Andy asked as they both climbed into the truck. Both of them knew that they will have to talk about what Frank mentioned earlier but after a long, exhausting shift, it was not happening tonight.
'You know at some point we will have to talk about this Andy, neither of us can make the decision alone. It has together. A team, that's you and me, are a team and we will always be a team.' He put his point across but the rest of the journey was in silence. It wasn't until the truck was parked outside of his house that Andy started speaking.
'I don't want you to go under. I been thinking about it all day and I appreciate Frank telling us both together that they want you but I can't deal with you going under not now. We are engaged to be married and that is what I want, I want to be your wife. If you go under there is no guarantee that you will only be gone for a few months regardless of what they say and they are only saying that so they can pull you under. You have done this for a long time and I know it pays well but I just don't want you to do it.' Sighing Andy got out of the truck and left Sam to his thoughts. Sam knew she was right, about a lot actually and truth be told that is all he wanted. A semi simple life -as simple as you can with him and McNally. He didn't want any more UC and really he was pissed that they always ask him to go and they won't take an no for an answer. He wanted to make Andy his wife, a mother a dog owner but overall to make her happy. Wiping his hands over his face with frustration and determination Sam got out of the truck and into the house telling Andy that he wasn't going under.
'Andy!' he called out. When he didn't get an answer from her he thought she was upstairs getting in the bath and she couldn't hear him for the water running. But the thing was he couldn't hear the water running. Suddenly Andy came in through the front door with a confused look on Sam's face.
'How did you do that?'
'Do what?' she asked as she shrugged off her coat and hung it up on the coat rack at the side of the door.
'You came in and then disappeared and then came back in again. It was strange ok and sometimes McNally you have my heart in my mouth.' It is now or nether he thought. 'About what Frank was talking to us about earlier, you just need to know,' he sighed and he saw the terror sketched in her face as he was speaking. Get it together Sam, what ya trying to do, give her a stroke!
'Babe, what I'm trying to say is that I'm not going under and I'm sorry I scared you like that. You know I'm not exceptional at this and I truly didn't mean to scare you like that. Your mini speech back in the truck just gave me the right kick up the ass that I needed to tell you this.' He sighed, holding her hands and looked at her face. The emotion that was over her face was more like relief.
'Oh thank god! So we can still get married then?' Andy broke into a heart warming grin as she heard the news come from her fiancé's lips, he wasn't leaving.
'Of course we can get married, I did propose to you though didn't I? Sam had this Cheshire cat style on his face as he watched the love of his life dance around the room mumbling to herself about the plans they need to make with regards to the wedding.
'Sam we have nearly forgot the upmost important detail!' at this point Andy started panicking regardless the fact that they haven't told anyone.
'Sweetheart, what is the upmost important detail that we nearly forgot? If it is telling Oliver then you can do that on your own. I don't want him going Sammy brother it about time every chance he gets.'
No silly, the date. We need a date to get married on. I was thinking summer so then we can have it outside. But Winter is so beautiful at night.' Sam sighed as he looked at her, shaking his head. He knew he was being dragged into wedding planning but he wasn't the type of guy to sit back and let the women do it, oh no he wanted to be a part of it but he was hoping the date and were would be left to Andy as he doesn't have the slightest clue about weddings. Sam picked Andy up and threw her over his shoulder and carried her to the Sofa where they sat and planned the night away for their wedding.
