Six months later
Sam sighed as he parked his truck in the drive way and looked at the time.
It was 8:30 pm, and he knew the kids would be asleep by now.
Sam closed his eyes and let out a breath.
Work was very busy right now, and himself and Traci were training a new rookie dectective, who seemed to have a thing for Sam, even though she knew he was happily married with kids.
Marie cross was her name, and no matter what everyone told her about Sam And andy., she did not care, and because of the fact she did not care, it was driving a wedge between sam and andy professionally and personally.
Sam got out of the truck and locked it and went inside his house.
It was too quiet for his liking, he put his bag down in the normal spot he did everyday and looked around.
He heard gracie start to cry and he went upstairs to see his daughter.
"it's okay, go back to sleep sweeite", he heard Andy say to their daughter and he smiled.
Andy came out of the room and saw sam in the door way. She smiled and walked over to him and jumped on him, which made sam smirked and shake his head and spin her around for a moment.
He put her down and rested his head on hers and letout a breath.
"I'm sorry, I tried getting home eariler", he started to say shaking his head.
Andy shook her head and led Sam downstairs to the lounge room.
He sat down on the lounge while Andy went and them both a beer out of the fridge.
Andy sat down next to Sam and and passed him the beer.
"The kids are fine Sam, stop worrying", Andy said softly smiling at her husband.
Sam let out a breath and closed his eyes and nodded his head.
"Daniel is pretty excited about going to another classroom in the nursery", Andy said grinning to Sam.
Sam shook his head and smiled at her.
Sam put the beer down and pulled Andy towards him so she had her head on his chest. He started playing with her hair.
"this case is so", Sam said shaking his head.
Andy looked up at him and smirked.
"how is the young Marie, still trying to get into your pants?", Andy asked teasing her husband.
Sam groaned and pulled her up so she was on his lap.
Sam shook his head at Andy which made her raise her eyebrows at him.
"that women does not get the point", he said shaking his head and resting his head against Andy's.
Andy smirked at him for a moment and started playing with Sam's hair.
"I can't say I blame her for trying to hit on you", she said grinning at Sam.
Sam looked at Andy, smirking still playing with her hair.
"oh yeah, and why is that?", he said kissing her lips.
"well my husband is kinda hot", she said putting her head down on his chest, letting Sam play with her hair for a bit longer.
Sam started to laugh and he shook his head.
He lifted her head up, and kissed her again.
"well you are very lucky then, because your husband thinks you are beautiful", he wispeared to her. Andy shook her head and kissed him again on his mouth.
Gracie started to cry again, and Andy sighed while Sam rubbed his hand up and down her back for a moment.
"it's her teeth, she's getting four at once", Andy said to Sam shaking her head.
Sam kissed her forehead for a moment.
"I'll go see her", he said getting up and walking upstairs. When he got to Garcie's room, she was standing up in her cot, and her cheeks were red and she had tears coming down her face.
Sam sighed and picked up his daughter and kissed her forehead.
He went over to the the chair in her room and sat down with her in his lap.
"it's okay, it's okay", he said kissing her forehead again.
Gracie started to cry louder and Sam got up with her and bounced her up and down.
Andy came in with some teething gel and some baby panadol for Gracie.
Sam held onto gracie while andy gave her the teething gel.
Gracie started to cry a bit more.
Andy gave her the baby pandadol and she started to settle down a bit.
Both sam and an dy sighed in relief.
Twenty minutes later they were getting ready for bed.
Sam slowly walked up to Andy in the bathroom and spun her around again.
Andy laughed and shook her head as Sam carried her to the bed and put her down on it.
Sam crawled over on top of her and kissed her softly.
"we should get some sleep", he said looking at the time.
It was only 9:30 pm, but with Gracie with her teeth at the moment, they were getting pretty early.
Andy nodded her head and crawled over to her side of the bed.
Sam smirked and went on his side of the bed and truned off the bed lamp.
It w as 4 in the morning when Gracie woke up crying again.
Sam looked over at Andy, wh o was still asleep and smiled.
He put on his pants and went to his daughters bedroom.
"hey sweetie", he said as he picked her up and kissed her forehed.
"dada", she said in a said voice.
Sam closed his eyes and kissed his daughters forehead.
"your okay sweetie ", He wispeared to her as he went and changed her nappy.
Sam grinned as he changed her nappy while Gracie was playing with his hair.
"daddy needs his hair sweetie", he said as he kissed her cheek and she laughed, and dribbled a bit.
Sam shook his head and picked her up.
He looked at the time and decided to wait a bit longer before he would give her more panadol.
He sat down on the chair in her room again and rocked her for a bit.
"dada", she said again and sam shook his head.
"daddy's here",he said kissing her head.
He looked t the time and it was now 4:30 am and decided to give her more baby pandadol
Gracie took it and started to calm down.
Sam put her down in her cot again and leaned over and kissed her head.
"your getting too big for this cot, were going to have to get you a bed soon", Sam mubled to his daughter.
Gracie closed her eyes and sam smiled softly at his daugther.
He leaned over one more time and kissed her forehead again.
"goodnight sweetie, Daddy loves you", he said quietly as he tucked his daughter in her cot.
It was 7 am when the arlam went off.
Sam graoned and got out of bed.
Andy got up and checked on the kids.
Daniel was awake and talking to boo already, Andy shook her h ead at her son when she walked into his bedroom.
"hey sweeite", Andy said as she entered Daniel's bedroom.
Daniel hopped off his bed with boo in his hands and ran straight to Andy.
A ndy bent down and picked up her son.
"your getting too big to get carried sweetie", Andy said kissing her son's head.
Daniel gigled when Andy started to tickle him.
Sam was changing Gracie when she started to cry.
Sam closed his eyes and sighed and picked his daughter up.
"it's okay sweetie, daddy's here", he said kissing her forehead.
"Dada", she said hugging him tightly.
"daddy's here", he wispeared to her again.
They all went downstairs together and Sam started getting the kids breakfeast ready.
Gracie was grumpy when they put her in her car seat.
Andy truned around and looked at her daughter and sighed at sam.
Sam shook his head and got his phone out before he started the truck.
He ended the phone call and and smiled over at Andy who looked at him confused.
"she's going to work with us today", he said winking at Andy.
"sam I'm o ut on the streets today", she said shaking her head.
Sam grinned.
"but I'm not", he said winking over at her again.
Andy grinned and shook her head. They stayed in Daniel's new room at the nursresy Sam played with Daniel for a bit while Andy went to talk to his new teacher for a few mintues.
They got to the divison and straight away, Gracie wouldn't let go of andy.
Andy sighed and looked at Sam and he came over towards his wife and daughter.
"come here sweetie", he said taking his daugther off Andy.
Gracie got comfty in Sam's arms and he kissed her head.
He took Gracie into his office and sat her down on his chair with him.
Gracie crawled up to his shoulder and rested her head on his shoulder and sam closed his eyes for amoment.
Sam smiled at Traci when she came into t hier office.
Traci came over to Sam and gracie and kissed graice on the forehead.
Gracie put out her hands to traci and she grinned taking her off Sam.
Sam smiled at Traci holding his daughter and got Graice's drink of juice out.
Graice shook her head when Sam tried to pass her the bottle of juice and he sighed and looked at the time.
Traci looked at Sam for a momen t.
"teething?", traci asked him and sam nodded his head.
"getting four teeth at once", he said shaking his head.
"MAMA", Gracie said shaking her head.
Sam sighed.
"she's being very clingly to andy", he said again shaking his head.
Traci smiled at her friend and kissed Gracie's forehead.
Gracie looked over at sam and put her hands out
"dada", she said clapping her hands.
Sam smirked and shook his head and got up and took Gracie off traci.
"I'm here, daddy's h ere", he said kissing her head again.
Gracie saw her stuffed toy and Sam grabbed it for her.
Traci sat down and watched sam with her best friends daugther for a moment and smiled.

Sam put Gracie in her parm when Marie came into the office.
Marie smiled as soon as she saw Sam but then frowned when she said him put Gracie in her parm.
"didn't know kids were allowed in the divison", maire said in a snappy voice.
Sam rolled his eyes.
"well my daughter is not feeling well, and we couldn't let her go to the nursery Cross", Sam said sitting down at his desk.
Maire rolled her eyes and sat at he desk.
Traci looked at sam and sam winked at her and traci smiled and nodded her head.

He carried her to his desk and sat her on his lap and kissed her forehead.

"Dada", she said cuddling up to his shoulders.
Sam smiled and kissed her forehead.
Marie looked at him and rolled her eyes.
"problem cross?", sam asked her and marie just rolled her eyes.
"I guess it's lucky it's a quiet day here, otherwise she wouldn't be here", Marie said shrugging her shoulders.
Sam was getting frustrated.
He stood up with Gracie in his hands and put her down and took her hand.
"come on sweetie, were going for a walk", he said as he walked gracie out of the office.
Marie rolled her eyes and looked over at Traci.
"he's only with her because of the kids", Marie said shurgging her shoulders to traci.
"those two love each other, they have been through a lot and they are finally happy, do not try to mess with them", Traci said warning Marie.
Marie shook her head.
"I don't get it, so they have been through a lot, big deal", she said to Traci.
Traci rolled her eyes and went back to her computer screen.
Sam was walking with gracie to the coffee machine in the lunch room.
Oliver walked in and smiled at the sight in front of him.
He bent down and looked at Gracie and opened his arms.
Gracie let go of Sam's hand slowly and walked over to Oliver.
Oliver picked her up and hugged her tightly.
