Andy let herself into Sams apartment excited to talk wedding plans , she dropped the magazines in her hands in shock at what she saw...Sam and Marlo kissing. Sam jumps away noticing Andy "Its not what it looks like Andy please let me explain, Marlo kissed me."
"No need for explanations sam you once said to me you screwed things up again and again, when it comes to our relationship you are right. I am getting my stuff and you , Marlo and your son can be a happy family because i am not going to be hurt by you anymore!"
Andy stormed into the bedroom grabbing what she could and throwing her ring on the bed, when she came out sam had tears in his eyes and Marlo remained eerily quiet but baby Thomas was bawling his eyes out in Marlos arms. Without saying a word Andy lifted Thomas out of Marlo's arms and softly rocked him and whispered in his ear , she gave him back to Marlo and with one last look at sam said "I will see you around Sam."
...
Sam felt like a piece of his heart had been ripped out as he watched the woman he loved walked out on him , his son and his life. "What the hell Marlo?" He all but screamed at the woman who had just ruined the best thing that had ever happened to him.
"I know you can feel the connection between us since Thomas was born, Dont you want to be a family?"
"The only connection we have is Thomas and he would be lucky to have Mcnally in his life, she was going to be my wife!"
Without a word sam took Thomas and Marlo walked upstairs to the spare room where she had been sleeping, Sam let the tears fall.
...
Andy didnt want to go home to her own apartment so she walked to the one place where she knew someone would always be there for her. Andy knocked on the door and a slightly dishevelled Nick Collins answered the door. "Andy what are you doing here?" "I really need someone Nick and I know i have screwed our friendship up but I just really need you" Andy answered on the verge of tears. Silently Nick pulled Andy into a bear hug and then led her into his apartment where Andy spewed the whole sordid details of what happened . "Am i a bad person Nick?" "Andy sam blamed Jerrys death on you dumped you in a car park, didnt wait for you and then when you gave him a second chance he wanted you to bring another womans child up and now he has cheated on you!" Andy half laughed and cried when she said "So thats a no then? " Nick just wrapped his arm around her and half whispered "The last six months we have been distant but you will always be my best friend Andy." Andy turned her head and kissed nick platonically on the cheek. Both Andy and Nick fell asleep that way knowing that they had each other.
...
The next morning Nick drove andy to work and as they got out Nick gave Andys shoulder a squeeze both unaware of Sam and Oliver walking through the parking lot , Sam went to take a step forward but Oliver stopped him, Oliver knew the whole story and had already berated Sam for his actions. "You have got to fight for her back Sam not beat Collins to a pulp." Sam grunted and watched as andy and nick walked into the station already feeling the jealousy overtaking his body of Nick Touching Andy.
...
Later that day Sam cornered Nick and pulled him into an empty office "Stay away from Andy, dont use this small bump in our relationship to think you can get her back Collins!"
Nick sccoffed at Sam "All you ever do is hurt Andy and this isnt a bump you got another woman pregnant and cheated! Andy isnt yours anymore Sam you screwed up one too many times and i will always be there for her and what happenes between us is between us!" With that said Nick left the office leaving Sam knowing more than ever he was an idiot but he was going to fight for Andy, Collins be damned.
Nick walked through the station with a sudden euphoric feeling coming over him, Maybe he and Andy could have another chance as he thought this he spotted Andy coming out the womens changing rooms. "Want a ride?" Andy smiled and nodded .
...
It had been about a month since Nick and Andy had rekindled there friendship and it was something the whole station had noticed not just the recent banter that had once again developed betweem them but the glares Sam Swarek had been sending the pairs way at any oppurtunity. Andy for the past month had been dodging Sam and hiding out at Nicks place but today was easier than most as she had been having runing to the bathroom at every oppurtunity to throw up. Her luck ran out ttowards the end of the day When she had to go up to the D's office to drop off a file and before she could leave Sam grabbed her wrist and turned her to look at him. "Andy please I love you, Marlo kssed me its you i love and want to marry and have another child with." Andy looked straight into sams eyes and tearfully told him 'Its too late Sam,you hurt me and push me away, ask me to marry you and then move in your ex and the child you have together.' As Andy untangled herself from him and walked away Sam Blurted out "Are yoy Sleeping with Collins?" Andy just huffed "You are unbelievable" and stormed off.
...
When Nick let himself into his apartment the last thing he expected to see was Andy Mcnally crying on his sofa. "Andy Whats Wrong ?" "Im pregnant with sams baby, I cant do this Nick." Nick let the news sink in then calmly whispered into Andys ear "Yes you can because i will be there every step of the way and dont ven think of arguing with me about it.""How do I tell sam Nick, i cant be with him again and be hurt.""You dont have to be with Sam , you have me and i promise to look after you and the baby.""I cant ask you to put your life on hold for me Nick" Nick put his hand on Andys stomach and looked her in the eyes and told her "This is the life i want, with you Andy." Nick leaned forward and kissed Andy gently on the lips the both sat back with smiled on their faces thinking of the new uncertain future they had in front of them as well as what to tell one Sam Swarek!
