THAT NIGHT
Everything seemed to settle down a bit that night. Sam and Andy decided to take the night off work and spend it with the family.
Sam was in the middle of making dinner when Daniel ran into the kitchen.
"Daddy I want to help", Daniel said to Sam.
Sam looked at his son and smiled. He bent down and motioned for Daniel to come closer. Daniel did slowly.
Sam picked up Daniel and put him on the kitchen bench and handed him a plastic cup with some juice in it.
Daniel took it off Sam and drank the juice.
"Thank you daddy", Daniel said.
Sam smiled and ruffled his son's hair.
Sam was just glad that Daniel wasn't as scared now.
That morning scared Sam.
He had never seen Daniel so scared.
It was just the four of them that night. Oliver decided to go home and work out his own family situation.
Daniel finished his drink of juice and put it on the bench, but the cup fell off the bench and dropped on the floor.
Sam looked up at his son, who looked like he was going to cry.
Sam picked up the cup and slowly walked over to Daniel.
Daniel started to shake his head.
"Buddy, its okay, its okay", Sam said as he picked up Daniel.
"Sorry Daddy, me sorry", Daniel said as Sam hugged him.
Sam closed his eyes for a moment.
He didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't exactly ask a two year old.
"Daddy's not mad buddy, I'm not mad", he whispered into his son's ear.
"Daddy not mad at me?" Daniel asked in a small voice.
Sam placed Daniel on the kitchen bench and kissed his forehead.
"No, why would daddy be mad?" Sam tried.
"Because I dropped my cup", Daniel said starting to cry.
Sam closed his eyes and moved Daniel over so he could sit down next to his son.
Sam watched his son closely for a few minutes.
Daniel looked up to Sam and shook his head.
Sam was confused. He wasn't sure what was going on, why Daniel was so scared.
But one thing was for sure, Sam didn't like this, not one bit.
He got off the bench and started cooking dinner.
"Daddy", Daniel said to him
Sam turned around and smiled at his son.
"What's up buddy?" Sam said to Daniel.
Daniel jumped up and down a bit and lifted his hands up, telling Sam that he wanted a hug.
Sam laughed and shook his head as he walked to his son and picked him up.
Sam hugged Daniel tightly.
"Love you daddy", Daniel said.
Sam held him tighter and let out a breath.
"I love you too buddy', Sam said placing a kiss on his son's forehead.
Daniel hugged Sam tightly and Sam just held him just as tight "DADA", he heard Gracie say. He hugged Daniel and put him down.
And Daniel ran into the lounge room.
"MUMMY", Daniel yelled.
Sam came in and took Gracie off Andy.
Andy bent down and picked up Daniel and hugged him tightly. She gave Sam a worried look, and he just winked at her while kissing Gracie's forehead.
"Hey daddy's girl", he whispered softly to his daughter.
He put Gracie in her high chair and she softly cried, which made Sam a bit confused.
He walked over to Gracie and picked her up again.
"What's the matter sweetie?" He asked her while kissing her forehead.
Andy walked over to them and kissed Gracie's forehead.
"She's okay Sam, she's teething", Andy said grinning at the look of Sam's face.
Sam looked between his two kids.
"You two are growing up too quickly", he mumbled while kissing Gracie on the cheek.
Andy shook her head and smiled.
Sam put Gracie back in the high chair and served dinner.
While Andy was getting Gracie ready for bed, Sam was reading a book to Daniel.
Daniel was pretty much asleep when Sam was halfway through the book.
He put the book down and smiled at his son.
He pulled the blanket up and tucked Daniel in.
Sam kissed Daniel's forehead.
"Love you buddy", he whispered in his son's ear as he turned on the night lamp and walked to the door and turned off the light in the room and closed the door slightly so that if something happened in the night, they could hear him.
Andy was already in bed when Sam came into the bedroom.
He stood in the doorway just watching her for a moment.
Sam felt lucky right then.
After everything that had happened in the last 5 years between himself and Andy, he never thought he would be this lucky.
He walked over to the bed, and jumped on top of Andy.
Andy couldn't help but laugh and shake her head.
He started kissed down her neck, and Andy couldn't help but moan softly.
"God I love you", Sam said breathlessly.
Andy took his face in her hands and looked at him.
"It's going to be okay Sam", Andy said softly.
"Whatever is going on, we will get through it, together, as a family", she said breathlessly as he moved her hands out of the way and start lifting up her night gown.
"Sam", Andy said in a soft voice as he kissed down her stomach and went down further.
"Hmm?" he said as he moved up to his mouth.
"I love you too", she said as he kept kissing his neck.
He looked up at her and smirked.
"OH yeah, how much", he said teasing her.
She rolled her eyes and rolled them over so she was on top of him.
She kissed his mouth, down to his neck and moved her hips, which made him groan.
"Maybe I should show you how much", she said laughing as he rolled them over again so he was on top and put the covers over them.
Afterwards, Andy was lying on top of Sam, breathing heavily, both of them just looking at each other.
Sam took a piece of her hair and moved it out of face.
"This is never going to get old, is it?" Andy asked him.
Sam chuckled.
"I sure hope not", he said kissing her one more time moving her so that they could go to sleep.
THE NEXT MORNING
Sam woke up before Andy this morning, he heard Gracie talking to herself again and grinned and shook his head as he got out of the bed to check on her.
When he walked into the room, once again she was bopping up and down and bopping her head up and down.
Sam grinned.
"DADA", Gracie suddenly said.
Sam's eyes went wide again and smiled at his daughter.
He walked slowly to the cot and picked her up.
"Morning daddy's girl", he said as he kissed her forehead.
"DADA", Gracie said once again while she layer on Sam's chest, dribbling down his shirt.
"That's nice sweetie, real nice", he said laughing quietly.
He heard Daniel fall out of his bed and fall out on the floor. Sam rolled his eyes and went to check on his son.
Sam stood in the door way, watching his son get himself up and fall over again.
Sam knew Daniel wasn't a morning person at all; he took after Andy in that way.
Daniel looked up and saw Sam and smiled as he ran over to Sam.
"Daddy", Daniel said as he ran to Sam's legs and fell over when he got there.
Sam couldn't help but laugh.
He crouched down and kissed Daniel's forehead.
"Morning buddy, ready to go to school again", Sam asked ruffling his son's hair.
Daniel nodded his head and jumped up and down which made Sam laugh.
They all got ready and were all in the car to the nursery.
This morning, they decided to take Gracie first, so that they could try to speak to Daniel's teacher about what was going on in his class.
They didn't like how Daniel was scared of them the day before, and both decided they needed to talk to his teacher about it.
Daniel was too young to be scared, and Sam did not like it at all.
As they got to his class room, both Sam and Andy froze.
"Remember kids, say no to people when they look like they are going to smack you", they heard a voice say.
They walked slowly into the classroom, and Daniel went off to play as they went and put his bag in his place of the small bag spaces they had.
Sam got his lunch out and put it in the fridge while Andy put his lunch in the fridge.
Daniel's teacher came up to Sam and smiled.
"Sam, glad Daniel's back here today, we missed him last night", Daniel's teacher said to him as Andy walked up to Sam.
Andy took a hold of Sam's hand as she saw someone walk up next to Daniel's teacher.
"Mrs. McNally-Sweark, Mr. Sweark, this is Monica, she's the new nurse at the nursery and will be staying in this class for a couple of weeks", Daniel's teacher said to both Sam and Andy.
Sam froze in the spot, not moving.
It was Monica, his ex girlfriend Monica.
In his son's class, in the nursery his kids go too.
Andy reached out her hand and shook Monica's hand but said nothing, while
Sam was still frozen in the spot.
He didn't like this.
He didn't like the look Monica was giving him.
He knew something was going on and he didn't trust Monica at all.
Monica was at their kid's nursery for a reason.
And Sam was going to find out why she was there and what was going on.
Andy McNally-Sweark was the love of his life.
But his kids were his life.
And he would do anything to protect them and Andy.
He was not going to let a thing happen to the three of them.
He was going to protect his family.
Andy and Sam walked out of the nursery and got to the truck.
When Andy tried to jump in the front, Sam stopped her and pushed her against the truck door.
"I do not know why she is here, but I am going to find out why she is here", Sam said to Andy.
Andy just nodded her head.
He leaned in and kissed her softly on her lips.
"I will protect them sweetheart, while I am around, our kids are safe", He said to her resting his forehead against hers while Andy let some tears fall out.
Sam wiped them away from her eyes and hugged her.
"You three mean the world to me, I am not going to let her ruin it", he whispered in her ear.
Andy just nodded her head and hugged him tightly.
They got to the barn, and Sam went straight into Frank's office.
Frank knew straight away something was wrong, he could tell by the look on Sam's face.
Frank sat up straight on his chair.
"Sam, what is it?" Frank asked him.
Sam took a deep breath.
"Frank, we need to talk", he said in a serious tone as he sat opposite frank in his office.
