Hi guys I'm back with another chapter for "Fight for Us." I hope you enjoy and please leave any feedback it helps with my writing and direction of where my stories go. Thanks.

While Andy was in the waiting room, waiting on news of Sam, she replayed the day's events in her head.

Her and Sam had been sent out by Best to do an interview for a case that the D's were working on. She was sent out with Sam as his backup. A detective now had to have someone go with them as a result of Jerry's death last year.

The interview had gone well and the two of them were headed back to the station when they heard dispatch say that there was an escalating situation in the area that they were in.

Andy had radioed in that they would respond since they were right there. She didn't realize that that call could potentially be Sam's last.

As things got worse at the scene things were happening more quickly. Everything was falling out of order and people were becoming more concerned.

When Sam got shot, Andy could only think about the things she had left unsaid while they were together and after they broke up. She worried that they would never have a chance to be together, or to get married and start a life together.

Just then a doctor came over and brought her out of her thoughts.

"Officer McNally, I have an update for you."

"Ok, should we do it here or …?"

"No, right here is fine. Please sit down."

"Oh, no, please don't tell me he's dead."

"No, Officer McNally, he's not dead but he is in critical condition. Since he lost so much blood, the next 48 hours are important. Officer Swarek is in the ICU at the present moment and is in an induced coma so that he has the ability to have his body rest and recover. When he wakes up we can figure out how to approach his condition."

"Ok, how long should it take for him to wake up?"

"Well it all depends on how he recovers. Based on his injuries and the fact that we did medically induce him into a coma, he should be awake in three days but there's no exact timeline for these types of things since everyone is different and recovers in their own way."

"When can I see him?"

"Since he is in the ICU right now, only one person is allowed in his room at a time but right now the nurses and my team are closely monitoring him and his stats so it is unlikely that you will be able to visit him right now. It will be for the best if you go home and get some rest tonight and come back in the morning to check then. If you have any other questions here is my team's number for you to call. Officer McNally we will do whatever we can to help Officer Swarek recover and heal as efficiently and smoothly as we can. I have other patients to get to right now but please do not hesitate to call if something comes up."

"Thank you, doctor."

Andy walked back over to where all the officers from 15 Division were waiting and told them all of the information.

"So Sam lost a lot of blood and is in an induced coma but should be awake in a matter of three days. The doctor said that the next 48 hours are critical and that he can't have visitors tonight because they need to monitor him closely."

Oliver chimed in that everyone should go home since they can't do anything for Sammy and that it's all in the doctors hands now. He then approached Andy as everyone was making their way to the elevators.

"McNally, do you need a ride home?"

"That's very nice of you Oliver but I think I'm just going to wait here in case anything happens and so I'm here first thing in the morning."

"You know what McNally, I'm going to keep you company so you don't get lonely and we both can be here."

"Thanks Oliver."
