Andy's face hurt from smiling but she couldn't help it. Yesterday Sam had asked her to marry him!

She still couldn't believe it. She was ENGAGED to Sam Swarek!

Andy looked at him and he grinned. Andy blushed as a thrill ran through her at the thought of being his wife. She danced in her seat and smiled mischievously.

"So Sam…when should we get married?"

Sam looked at her a moment thoughtfully. Yesterday had been much to full of I love you's and kisses to actually discuss anything. He smiled.

"As soon as possible. Don't want you to change your mind."

Andy shook her head.

"That won't happen."

She was silent for a moment.

"We could elope, you and me somewhere romantic."

Sam shook his head.

"No. Absolutely not McNally."

Andy sighed.

"Why not?"

Sam looked at her adoringly.

"You love weddings and you are getting a wedding. A real, big, painfully traditional wedding. I want everyone to know I'm marrying you."

Andy smiled wordlessly and leaned forward to kiss his cheek. Sighing happily she leaned back against her seat and closed her eyes for a moment.

"Not before Oliver's then…what about September? its a couple months after."

Sam stared thoughtfully at the road and then nodded.

"September."

Andy grinned and grabbed her stack of magazines Sam had taken her to buy before they headed home.


10 hours later Sam opened the door to the Black Penny holding Andy's hand. Everyone turned and Sam raised his arm with Andy's victoriously displaying the ring on her finger. Sam grinned as a whoop went up and a wild round of applause broke out. Andy was blushing and looking happier than she ever had before. Oliver was the first one over. He hugged Sam and Andy together and looked from one to the other.

"It's about time."

Sam raised his eyebrows at him and nodded.

Traci wrapped her arms around Andy and Sam quickly kissed Andy's cheek before letting go. After a long hug Traci grabbed her finger and stared at the ring.

"Nice bling McNally! Even better looking in person."

Andy raised her eyebrows.

"Oh really? You knew about all this?"

Traci laughed.

"A bit. Hey, Swarek needed someone to advise him."

Andy shook her head and smiled.

"You want to be my Maid of Honor?"

Traci grinned.

"Yeah, thought you'd never ask!"

Andy hugged her again.

Chloe grabbed her arm and hugged her tightly.

"Good job Andy! I was always on team Collins but I am so happy for you."

Andy stared at her a moment blankly before shaking it aside and hugging her.

"Thanks! Bridesmaid?"

Chloe nodded and quickly wiped a tear away.

Andy looked to the bar where Gail was sitting. Gail was staring her icily. Andy moved towards her. Gail didn't speak and Andy stood in front of her.

"Gail…"

She swallowed.

"Will you be a bridesmaid?"

Gail stared at her a long moment before abruptly wrapping her arms around her in a fierce hug.

"I hate you, you know."

Andy nodded against her.

"Yes, the answer is yes."

Gail said fervently.

Andy smiled and hugged Gail again before turning to search for Sam.

His gaze met hers as the same time and his eyes lit up as his dimples appeared.

Andy felt herself blush under his gaze again as Chris embraced her from behind.

"I cannot wait for your wedding Andy!"

Andy returned his hug.

Chris looked at Gail.

"I want to go wedding shopping now that we know she said yes."

Gail stared at him.

"Like there was a chance she would say no to Swarek? No one would say no to Swarek."

Chris shrugged.

"You want to come with me?"

Gail looked at him quickly. She stood and nodded.

Andy watched as they left. She walked to Sam's side as he talked to Frank and Noelle. He pulled her into a side hug. As they walked away Sam cupped her face with hands and kissed her lightly. Another whoop went up as Oliver and in turn-everyone-turned and stared. Andy blushed again as Sam pulled back to glare at Oliver.

Sam looked at her.

"You want a drink?"

Andy shook her head.

"Could you take me home?"

His eyebrows went up.

"Whose home?"

Andy raised an eyebrow at him.

"I don't care."

Sam smiled and followed her outside. He looked at her as he opened his truck door.

"I need to take Boo Radley home."

Andy nodded.

A few minutes later they were in front of his house. Sam grabbed Boo Radley and nuzzled his cheek against the sleepy pup. Andy smiled and climbed out of the truck. Sam looked at her questioningly. Andy shrugged.

"I'll help you unload."

Sam nodded and unlocked his door before opening it for Andy. She carried his bag in and set in on the floor while Sam laid Boo Radley on his dog bed. For a few minutes they carried the gear into his living room. When they were done Andy opened his fridge and glanced inside.

"Sam you need groceries."

She felt him come up and stand behind her.

Sam nodded and waited for Andy to turn.

When she did he stared at her-very very close and reached out so his palms were against the fridge. Andy felt herself blushing again. Sam stared her a long moment before whispering huskily.

"I love you Andrea McNally."

Andy shivered and smiled.

"I can't wait to be your wife Sam."

She kissed him lightly.

"And all those women will know you are my Sam Swarek."

Sam smiled.

"I think they already do McNally."

Sam gently ran his hand through her hair. He was mesmerized by Andy-his Andy. Sam leaned in to kiss her. A minute later he pulled back to study her.

"I better take you home."

Andy smiled and nodded and followed him back to the truck.
