A/N: I give my sincere apologies I have put this story on the back burner and I completely understand if I have fewer followers because, well it is my fault. I know a lot of writers say that college is one the reasons why stories get left for a while and to be honest, it is very true. I have other commitments as well and I just want to get the best grades I possibly can! Again I am so sorry and I hope, you as readers, have that just bit more patience left to keep following this story and possibly read and follows others that I make in due course…

P.S this may be a shorter chapter compared to others – I would like to finish this story before 2015 ends hehe.

5 months later…

The alarm blared through the bedroom that occupied Andy and Sam Swarek; Sam externally groaned and slammed his hand against the devil that is his alarm. He swung his legs out of bed, carefully not to wake Andy. Her pregnancy had taken the toll and in fact it had not been smooth sailing. But then again when is anything smooth sailing for the pair? It was only 2 months in that Andy had thought she was suffering a miscarriage, her morning sickness was constant so it made it difficult to do her job – which pained her so.

Sam padded over to the bathroom, getting ready to go to work without Andy and leave her alone in the big house that was theirs. It pained him that she couldn't do what she wanted and all he could do was hold her hand or hair and tell her everything was going to fine. The phrase had become a common occurrence it might as well be etched into his skin he had said it to her so much over the past 5 months and with Andy's pregnancy 3 more months to go, he had a feeling it will be said even more.

He sighed as he stepped into the shower, the hot water running down his sculpted, tanned body easing the tension in his muscles that had built up over the night. After showering, he wrapped a towel round his waist and went over to the sink to shave off the three day stubble that he had. He knows Andy likes it but to him, personally, it makes him feel cleaner. Cleaner than his soul, his mind, his past. He heard Andy make a soft groan, knowing that she will be making an appearance in the next 20 seconds to join him in the bathroom.

10, 9, 8, 7

He went and opened the door...

6, 5, 4

He heard her jump out bed and dash across the room…

3, 2, 1

Andy had joined him in the bathroom with her to only place her head in the toilet bowl. She can go through the night without feeling nauseous or vomiting but soon as she wakes up, it then hits her. Andy felt weak, her whole body from head to foot was sore. She was tired, hormonal and she just wanted the whole pregnancy to end. She knew her body would go through so many changes, hell she knew she would have to stop working at some point but she wasn't expecting to not work only at an early stage into her pregnancy. She hated being at home all the time. Yeah Sam had days off with her and she was able to plan the nursery and buy things for the baby but all she wanted to do was work. Even some paper work would suffice.

'You ok Andy?' Sam at this point had his body as support for Andy's and his hands holding her hair back. Even though they can say they are used to this, Sam never likes it.

'I just envy women who have the easiest pregnancies. Here I am looking fat and throwing up all the time. I can't even enjoy food anymore.'

'I am one hundred percent sure that you are not the only women going through this at the moment Andy and besides, I bet Nash's pregnancy wasn't that easy. I heard the first one is the worse…' he trailed off knowing he was rambling and with Andy's raging hormones, he could end up on the settee again; the settee wasn't the comfiest place to sleep.

'Pfft! Traci's pregnancy wasn't like mine at all. She didn't fear she was having a miscarriage, she didn't suffer with morning or day sickness as some people including me call it all day every day and you know what? She looked sexy whilst she was pregnant. And how do I look Sam?'

'Erm, well honey, I think you look gorgeous,' good call Sam, starting with the compliment. 'Yeah you may not have the easiest pregnancy ever and you may think you look fat but you don't, you have our child inside you that has the awesome Swarek genes and the beautiful McNally smile and at the end of all of this we will be proud parents of the best most gorgeous baby that 15 has ever seen, hell the whole of Canada has seen.' Sam hoped that his mini speech had worked, the last time he tried to comfort Andy, and she had locked him out of the house in his underwear. Thank god it was summer…

'Why do you always know what to say? I mean I know I am emotional and everything but surely you have got to be a bit tired of doing this every morning or repeating things…' she trailed off

'No, I don't you know why? Because I am a part of this as much as you are and if that means sitting on the bathroom floor in only a towel every single day then I don't care. Besides I get to tell you that you are beautiful and what a lucky man I am.' Andy smiled at this. 'Come on lets go eat' and with that said they both left the bathroom to continue on with their day.

'So Swarek said all that?' Traci took a sip of her coffee whilst Andy had retold her the story of this morning.

'Yup, he is so sweet and understanding about all this and with everything that has happened in the past few months I couldn't be any happier with how things have gone between us. Don't get me wrong I am loving this baby and a things to do with it but I wish I could enjoy my pregnancy a bit more you know?'

'Honey, I don't know what to say, I wish it could be different for you too but it just is how it is and besides you are nearly at the end of all this and we all get to meet baby Swarek. I can't believe you want it to be a surprise! Why do you leave this suspense? It is torturing me and the worst thing is that there is a bet going on, at work.'

'There are only two genders trace and besides, I have a bet going with Sam myself! He thinks it's a boy but I think it's a girl, either way I'm going to be happy. Sam only wants a boy so he doesn't have to deal with all the issues that comes with girls, you know boyfriends, periods, hair, clothes. I could totally see him stressing over her when she's a teen and threatening to shoot the first guy that walks through the door holding her hand.'

'That's so sweet, you know I never had that. Leo's dad never paid any attention he was too busy going out getting drunk or playing poker and getting himself into all kinds of trouble.' Traci took a sip of her hot beverage whilst reminiscing on her past.

'I'm sorry Trace, but you at least you have jerry to help now. Surprisingly he is really good with him.'

'I know and for that I am blessed. In fact I am blessed that I have a really easy kid.'

The clocked ticked 6 and Sam waked through the door with Jerry. Kicking off his shoes, he turned to Jerry;

'You gotta be quiet man, Andy might be sleeping and I don't know if Nash is still here.'

'It's cool, I'll just see her when I get home; she might have gone to her mother's to pick Leo up or have a long chat about 7me.' Sam laughed.

'You not in her good books then I presume?'

Jerry shrugged 'who can resist this god, my body is all but a temple' with that said the boys walked deeper into the house only to find both Andy and Traci asleep on the settee swaddled in a blanket that was half on and half off them.
