One week later
It was Andy's first week working full time again since Gracie was born, and to say she was nervous was an understatement.
Andy got up early; wanting to make sure everything was packed. Even though she checked 3 times before everyone went to bed, she just wanted to make sure again.
Sam groaned when he heard her get up at 6 am. He knew she was nervous, but he didn't know how to stop it.
Hearing Gracie cry, Sam groaned again and got out of bed.
Andy was in the shower, so he went to check on his daughter.
As he entered the bedroom, Gracie was standing up on the rails bopping up and down crying.
Sam smirked at his daughter and shook his head as he entered the bedroom.
He picked her up and kissed her forehead.
"Morning princess", he said as he kissed her forehead.
"DA", Gracie started to say.
This made Sam's eyes budge out of his face.
"Say it again sweetie", he said holding his daughter as he sat on the chair in the bedroom.
"Da"….. She said again.
"You're so clever", he said kissing her head one more time.
Andy came out of the shower into the nursery and saw Sam and Gracie and smiled.
Sam looked up and winked at her.
"DA!" Gracie said again. Andy's face lit up and grinned.
Sam looked at her surprised and shook his head at her.
Just then, Andy heard Daniel crying so she went to check up on him. As she got to the room, Daniel was still asleep crying and kicking his feet around.
"Mummy", he said in his sleep.
Andy sighed at this and went and sat on his bed and tried to wake him up.
"Daniel", she said softly.
Daniel slowly opened his eyes. Andy smiled softly at her son.
"Come here sweetie", she said with her arms open.
Daniel walked crawled over and sat on his mums lap.
Sam picked up Gracie and started walking to his son's bedroom.
"Come on sweetie, let's go see if your brother is up", he said to her as he carried her into the e bedroom.
He walked into Daniel's room and saw Andy hugging him tightly.
He closed his eyes and went and sat with his son and Andy.
Andy rested her head on Sam's shoulder.
Sam kissed her forehead.
"They will be fine", He whispered in her ear.
Andy looked over at him and a tear came out of her eye.
Sam rolled his eyes at his wife.
"DA!" Gracie said again which made both Sam and Andy jump.
Daniel looked up at his mum and dad, and then his sister.
Daniel started to shake his head.
"No Gracie, Daddy", he said shaking his head at his sister.
Sam busted out laughing and handed Gracie over to Andy and took his son in his arms.
"She's just starting to talk buddy, give her a chance", he said kissing his son's forehead.
Daniel just looked up at his dad and gave him a strange face.
"Okay you guys time to get ready", Andy said in a teary voice.
Sam looked up to his wife and winked at her.
Andy nodded her head at him.
Andy knew Sam was right, that everything would be okay.
Daniel hopped off Sam's lap and ran down the stairs.
Andy looked at the time and looked at Sam. Sam knew that look.
He walked over towards her and kissed her forehead.
"She's going to be fine Andy", he said to her as he took his daughter off her.
Andy nodded and smiled softly.
"Bang", they heard from downstairs. Andy and Sam looked at each other and both ran down stairs.
Andy ran to see where the noise was, and walked into the kitchen and saw Daniel on the floor crying, with a cup in his hands and milk all over the floor.
Sam went and put Gracie in the high chair while Andy got a cloth and started wiping Daniels face off and Sam got the mop and started mopping the milk up.
Once Andy cleaned him all up, she stood him up and put him on the kitchen counter. Sam went over to them.
"Buddy, you know if you need help, come and get one of us", Sam said to his son.
Daniel nodded and said "I'm a big boy daddy". Sam couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.
"You're a big boy alright", he said ruffling his son's hair.
"But even big boys need help sometimes, sweetie", Andy said to her son looking at Sam. Sam winked at her and nodded his head.
"Even daddy?" Daniel asked both of them.
Both Sam and Andy couldn't h help but laugh.
Sam picked up his son and started to tickle him.
"Yes even me buddy", he said while ruffling his son's hair again.
Everybody was ready was ready to go. Andy and Sam walked hand in hand to the nursery at the division.
They took Daniel first, because he knew he would be okay.
Sam bent down next to his son, watching him play for a bit.
Sam looked at the time and knew they had to go soon. He ruffled his son's hair and kissed him on the cheek.
"Okay buddy, Mummy and daddy have to go take Gracie to her room now, and then we have to go to work", he said to Daniel wiping some stuff off his chin.
Daniel nodded as Andy came up and passed Gracie to Sam.
She bent down and kissed him on the face.
"You're going to be a good boy arent you?" she asked h is son.
Daniel nodded his head.
"Good boy", she said smiling at his son.
They both kissed him one more time and left the room.
Gracie was crying a bit when they tried to leave her in the room.
She kept reaching her hands out saying "Da Da".
Sam closed his eyes and went over and kissed her on the cheek one more time.
"You're going to be okay sweetie and we will be back soon", he said kissing her on the cheek again.
Andy knelt down and kissed her daughter.
"Your going to have a lot of fun here sweetie, we will come back and see after work sweetie", Andy said kissing her daughter .
Andy stood there watching her daughter for a moment. Sam looked at the time and sighed.
He went over to Andy and put his hands on her shoulders. Andy knew it was time to go, so she quickly kissed Gracie again and left.
When they got to the division, Andy went into the locker room and got changed.
Andy saw Traci talking to Marlo and smiled and nodded her head.
Traci winked at Andy and left the locker room.
Andy quickly got changed and headed to the coffee machine.
Sam was getting comfy when Traci walked in.
He smiled and nodded to her.
Traci smiled and sat down and started getting files ready.
"Andy was quiet in the locker room this morning", Traci said.
Sam sighed and looked over at Traci.
"She's worried about the kids, well mainly Gracie", Sam said taking a drink of his coffee.
Traci nodded in understanding.
"How's Daniel'? Traci asked him.
Sam looked up smiling.
"Doing good, he's growing up too quickly", Sam said shaking his head.
Traci smiled and nodded her head.
"Kids do that Sam", she said smirking at him.
Sam shook his head and got ready to go to parade for the day.
Andy took her normal seat in parade.
Frank came out and talked about a case.
Suddenly Andy's phone started to ring.
She sighed and took her phone out of her pocket and immediately panicked when she saw the nursery number.
"Andy, everything okay?" frank asked her softly.
"Sorry, sir, the nursery is calling me", Andy said in a worried voice.
Frank nodded his head and looked up at Sam.
Sam closed his eyes and nodded to Frank.
Andy decided to call the nursery back after parade.
As soon as she left the room, Andy got her phone out and called the nursery.
"Mrs. McNally Sweark", the lady on the other end of the phone greeted her.
Andy went straight to Sam's and Traci's office and closed the door.
"Is everything okay with Gracie, is something wrong?" Andy asked in a panicked voice.
She turned her head when she heard Sam and Traci come in the office.
Sam took the phone off her and put it on loud speaker so all three of them could hear.
"Everything is fine Mrs. McNally-Swarek, she's sleeping right now", the lady said.
Andy let out a breath she was holding.
"What about Daniel, is he okay?" Andy asked her looking at Sam, who just shook his head at her.
"Daniel is fine as well, he is playing out in the play ground at the moment", the lady said in a calm voice.
"Okay that's really good ", Andy said relieved.
"I'm just calling to let you know you left your wallet here Mrs. McNally-Sweark", the nursery teacher said to her.
Andy felt embarrassed.
She looked over at Sam, who smiled and winked at her.
"I'm sorry, I'll come get it as soon as I can", Andy said in an embarrassed voice.
"Its okay, Mrs. McNally- Sweark, your husband left his cell phone here too", the lady said to Andy.
Andy looked up to Sam, with a smirk on her face, while Sam was patting through his pockets, trying to find his phone.
When he realized he did leave it there, all he could do was shake his head at himself and wink at Andy again.
"Come by and get your things whenever you can, Mrs. McNally-Sweark, they are at the office", the lady said to her.
"Thank you for letting us know, and we will come by and get them straight away", Andy said to the lady. Andy smiled and hanged up the phone and looked over at Sam who had the keys in his hands and winked at her.
Traci couldn't help but laugh at the pair of them.
"Guys, the first week Leo was there, I rang that place up like five times a day, its fine", Traci tried to reassure he friends.
They walked out of the office and started heading to the truck.
Sam started the truck ad laughed and shook his head.
"What?" Andy challenged him.
"Leaving your wallet there nice move McNally", Sam said teasing her.
"Well at least it wasn't my cell phone, you never know your girlfriend might call you", Andy said winking at him.
Sam rolled his eyes at her and started the truck and took her hand in his.
"Only one person for me McNally", he said winking at her.
Andy rolled her eyes.
"So I should tell the kids that there is only one person that owns your heart?" she said teasing him.
Sam rolled his eyes at her again.
"Okay three people for me", he said as he stopped the truck and they got out Sam took her hand as they walked hand in hand to the nursery.
