A week later.
Sam and Andy were on holidays for a week. They were drawing closer with this whole case.
It was Franks idea for them to take a week off, with everything going on, he saw the tension going on between the two of them and he didn't like it one bit.
Daniel was not scared anymore which a huge relief was for both Sam and Andy.
Today, they were planning to take the kids to the park.
Gracie was trying to walk around by herself lately, and Sam couldn't help but smile. Next week, she was going to be 11 months old.
They were planning a party for her 1st birthday nothing big, just the family and the gang from work.
Daniel ran towards the kitchen and hugged Sam's leg.
Sam smiled and crouched down and noticed Daniel was upset.
"What's up buddy?" Sam asked his son.
"Mummy said no taking boo too park", Daniel said in a sad voice.
Sam shook h is head and picked his son up and sat him on the bench.
Sam kissed his son's forehead and winked at him.
"You don't want to lose him buddy", Sam said kissing his sons forehead.
Daniel nodded his head.
"Boo be scared alone?" Daniel asked Sam.
Sam shook his head and laughed.
He ruffled his son's hair.
"No buddy, he will be fine", he said kissing his sons forehead again.
Daniel nodded and lifted his arms up to Sam. Sam shook his head and lifted his son up.
Andy came in the kitchen with Gracie in her hands.
Sam looked at the both of them and smiled at Andy.
Sam got the nappy bag and the stroller and started putting things into the truck to get ready to go to the park for the morning.
Daniel ran up behind him and jumped up and down.
Sam just shook his head at his son because he was so excited about going to the park.
Andy went on the other side of the truck and put Gracie in her car seat, while Sam picked up Daniel and put him in his car seat.
"MAMA", Gracie randomly said.
Andy just shook her head and kissed her daughters forehead.
Sam threw the truck keys to Andy and got into the passenger seat of the car.
They got to the park and Andy and Sam got the kids out of the car and Daniel couldn't stop jumping up and down and looking at the swings.
Sam got the pram and the stroller out and t took Gracie out of Andy's hands and put her in the pram, and Andy buckled up Daniel in the stroller.
Sam got the nappy bag and stuck it under the pram.
They got to the park, and let Daniel out of the stroller; Sam took his hands and took him to the seat for a moment.
Daniel looked at him with his big brown eyes for a moment. Sam groaned and got the sunscreen out.
"Buddy give me a minute", he said putting sunscreen on his son.
Daniel started laughing when Sam when to put it on his face.
Sam looked over at Andy who was doing the same to Gracie.
Sam finished putting the sun screen on Daniel and reached into the bag with Daniel's things and got his hat and put it on his son's head.
Daniel shook his head and laughed when Sam started tickling him.
"Stop daddy stop", Daniel said laughing.
Sam smirked at his son.
"Okay buddy, let's go play", Sam said taking his son's hand and taking him to the swings.
Andy was sitting down reading a book, keeping an eye on Gracie and watching Sam play with their son.
A lady sat next to her and Andy moved her things so there was room.
The lady sitting next to her got her daughter ready to go and play in the playground, Andy watched her for moment.
"Okay sweetie, go play", the lady said to her daughter and smiled when she saw her daughter run off to the play ground.
Andy smiled at Gracie who was playing around in the pram with one of her toys.
"Your daughter is adorable", the lady said to Andy.
Andy turned around and smiled.
Her eyes went wide when she saw who it was.
Sitting next to her was Monica.
Monica-Dunn –hill.
Her husband's ex girlfriend.
Who is married to Michael Anton Hill, who is investigating her husband?
Monica turned around and was shocked to see it was Andy she was sitting next too.
Andy turned away and looked over at Sam, playing with their son.
"Andy", Monica said softly.
Andy looked at Monica for a moment, but said nothing, nothing at all.
Andy took a deep breath, and looked over at her daughter.
She wasn't exactly sure what she was meant to do in this situation.
"Andy", Monica said one more time.
Any shook her head.
Sam was over pushing Daniel on the swing.
"More daddies more", Daniel said laughing.
Sam shook his head and stopped the swing and crouched down in front of his son.
Daniel looked at Sam smiling.
Sam missed that smile.
"Okay, let's go get a drink hey", Sam said taking his son out of the swing.
"Drink", Daniel said as they walked back to where Andy and Gracie were.
Sam stopped and froze when he saw who Andy was sitting next to.
He took a deep breath and walked slowly over to where his family was.
Daniel took a seat on the grass and looked over at Sam with wide eyes.
Sam rolled his eyes and got a drink and a snack out for Daniel.
Daniel clapped his hands and took the drink off Sam.
Sam looked over at Andy, who was really uncomfortable
Sam sighed and sat next to Daniel on the grass.
Monica took a deep breath and looked at her daughter playing in the playground.
Daniel looked up and saw Monica and freaked out.
He started kicking and screaming and throwing things on the grass.
Sam picked him up and kissed his forehead.
But Daniel wouldn't stop he just kept kicking his legs.
Andy couldn't take it anymore.
This was meant to be a family day.
She got up, and started packing their things up.
"Sam, I know you didn't kill Anton", Monica said softly.
Andy looked up, and stared at Monica.
"Of course he didn't kill him; we weren't even in this area the week he got killed!" Andy snapped back.
Sam looked at Andy, and shook his head.
He put Daniel down and crouched down in front of his son.
"Go play buddy, but do not go where I can't see you", Sam said to his son and Daniel nodded his head.
Sam sighed; he knew Daniel didn't really understand what he was saying.
He looked over at Andy, his eyes asking for help.
Andy nodded her head, and went over where Sam and Daniel were and couched down with them.
"Sweetie, how bout you go play on the slide?" Andy said pointing to the slide.
Daniel nodded excitedly.
"But stay there until I come and get you", Sam said sternly to his son.
"Okay", Daniel said nodding his head.
Sam kissed his son's forehead and looked at his son.
"I love you buddy", Sam said to his son.
"Love you too daddy", Daniel said to his dad.
Daniel hugged Sam, and Sam hugged him tightly.
Andy watched Sam with Daniel and closed her eyes.
Sam let go of Daniel and he ran up too Andy and put his arms up.l
Andy shook her head and picked up her son.
"Mummy come with me", Daniel said to his mum.
Andy looked over at Sam, and he nodded his head slowly.
"Okay sweetie, let's go", Andy said as she put him down and took him to the slide.
Sam looked over at Gracie, who looked like she was about to fall asleep.
Sam looked up at Monica.
"Give me a minute, have to", he said nodding over at his daughter.
Monica smiled and nodded her head.
"Mummy", Monica's daughter said.
Monica smiled and stood up and hugged her daughter.
"Mummy thirsty", Monica's daughter said to her.
Monica smiled and got a drink.
Sam watched Monica with her daughter as he picked up his daughter and sat on the chair with her, giving his daughter a drink.
"Sweetie this is an old friend of mine Sam, Sam this is my daughter, Caitlyn", Monica said to her daughter and Sam.
Sam smiled and nodded his head to Monica and her daughter.
Caitlyn smiled shyly to Sam.
"Go and play sweetie, I'm right here", Monica said hugging her daughter.
Caitlyn smiled and ran off to the playground.
"How old is your daughter?" Sam asked Monica .
Monica smiled softly.
"Five next months", Monica said softly to Sam.
Sam smiled and nodded his head while kissing his daughters head.
"Sam, I can't explain everything to you about this case, but Michael isn't a bad guy", Monica said shaking her head at Sam.
Sam nodded his head and kissed his daughters head again.
"Michael and Anton weren't close, he was Michael's uncle that's it", Monica continued.
Again Sam just nodded his head.
Monica took a deep breath.
"Anton was trying to get his life on track, after everything that happened with Emily", she continued.
"His brother Garry passed away when Michael was young and Michael's mum passed away three months ago, after Anton was killed", Monica said shaking her head.
Sam closed his eyes and nodded his head.
"Why is Michael investigating me?" Sam asked looking at Monica.
Monica's eyes went wide and she shook her head.
"He's not Sam', Monica said.
Sam was confused.
"Why was Daniel near a police car?" Sam demanded to know.
Monica smiled.
"Daniel was asking if that was his daddy's car so we took him to look at the car", Monica explained.
That made Sam really confused.
"he was scared minicab, after that, he kept saying no smacking to me, he was scared, scared of me, of Andy, he wouldn't sleep after seeing the flashing lights of the car, my son was terrified Monica!", Sam snapped back at her.
Monica closed her eyes.
"I came to work at the nursery because it's under investigation Sam", Monica said looking at him in his eyes.
Sam's eyes went wide.
"Parents have been complaining about the way their children were getting treated and so they sent me in to keep an eye on it all", Monica explained.
Sam nodded his head.
"I started the no smacking talk because there was someone who works there smacking the kids, and were not sure who it is, so we were telling the kids that smacking was wrong, and to tell people that its wrong", Monica continued.
This all was making sense.
But still, Sam had a problem with it.
He looked over at his son and sighed.
"He wouldn't come near me Monica, he was terrified of me, of Andy, those lights, that car, it scared him to death", Sam said looking over at her.
Monica closed her eyes and sighed.
"I'm sorry that was not my intention at all", she said shaking her head.
"But it happened", Sam snapped at her.
"My son was scared of us, everyone", Sam said looking at his ex girlfriend.
Monica nodded her head and sighed.
"Michael is close to finding out who killed his uncle", Monica said softly.
Sam looked at Monica, not really knowing what to say to that.
She shook her head at Sam.
"He was investigating you Sam, but, just to find out about the undercover job you did on his uncle", Monica said.
Monica took a deep breath.
"You need to talk to him about Michael about this, he wants to talk to you Sam", Monica said softly looking over at him.
Gracie started to cry again so Sam stood up and bounced his daughter up and down.
Monica smiled at the sight in front of her.
Sam looked over at Andy and his son and sighed.
"Are they in danger?" Sam asked Monica.
Monica looked at her ex boyfriend and his small family and smiled and shook her head.
"No', she said shaking her head.
Sam sighed in relief.
"If I talk to Michael, Andy comes with me were a team, we need to sort this out together", Sam said looking between Andy and Monica.
Monica smiled and nodded her head.
"I know I told Michael that", Monica said nodding her head at Sam.
Sam looked at his daughter, then to his wife and son.
"When can we talk to Michael?" Sam asked his x girlfriend.
Monica smiled and looked at the time.
"He gets off in an hour", he's coming here, to the park for lunch with us", Monica said carefully.
Sam took a deep breath.
"Okay, we'll do it, we'll talk to Michael, as long as the kids are safe here", Sam said eyeing Monica.
Monica nodded her head.
"They are safe Sam", Monica said to him.
AN HOUR LATER.
Monica Sam and Andy are getting the kids ready for lunch.
Sam was getting ready to feed Gracie her lunch, while Andy is getting Daniel ready for lunch. Michael walks up slowly to them and bends down and kisses his daughter's head.
Monica smiles and stands up and kisses her husband.
Andy and Sam look at each other, not sure what to think.
Daniel looks up and sees Michael, and stands up and runs over to Sam, hiding his head in his chest.
Sam closes his eyes and sighs and hugs Daniel.
"It's okay buddy, he's not going to hurt you, daddy's here with you", Sam says to his son as he kisses Daniel's forehead.
Michael sits down next to Monica and sighs at the sight of Sam's son being scared of him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare your son so much", Michael said shaking his head.
Sam looked down at his son, who just wouldn't let go of him.
Sam sighed and stood Daniel up.
"Buddy, it's okay, don't be scared", he said to his son.
Daniel shook his head.
"Boo", Daniel said.
Andy closed her eyes and sighed.
Sam didn't know what to do.
Andy got up and got the truck keys.
She bent down in level of her son.
"Come on sweetie, let's go get boo", Andy said taking her son's hand.
Daniel looked over at Sam and Sam winked at his son and nodded his head.
"Go with mummy buddy, go get boo", Sam said nodding to his son.
Daniel nodded his head and went with Andy to the truck.
Sam looked between Monica and Michael and sighed.
"Favorite toy?" Monica asked smiling at Sam.
Sam rolled his eyes and nodded his head.
Monica couldn't help but laugh.
Monica looked at her daughter and smiled at her.
"Go on and play sweetie, were right here", she said to her daughter.
Michael looked at Caitlyn and nodded his head and Caitlyn ran off the playground again.
Michael looked over at Sam and sighed.
"I think I owe you a whole heap of answers", he said looking at Sam.
Sam nodded his head.
"Start at the beginning", Sam said to Michael.
Michael sighed and nodded his head.
