Chapter 23
Four days later
Sam and Andy and the kids had just said goodbye to her mum a couple of hours ago.
Daniel was pretty upset by it, but he was doing okay.
It was the kid's bath and dinner time, and Daniel was being difficult tonight.
Sam understood why though, saying goodbye to someone, for a three year old, must be hard.
Sam ran the shower for Daniel, and sighed at his son, who was shaking his head at Sam.
"NO SHOWER", Daniel yelled.
Sam sighed and walked over to Daniel took his clothes off and put him in the shower.
Once Daniel got in the shower, he started laughing and clapping his hands, which made Sam grin and shake his head at his son.
Sam got Daniel out of the shower, and got him changed.
Gracie was in her bedroom playing with her toys when Sam when in.
He leaned on the door frame watching his daughter for a moment and smiled at her while watching her play with her toys.
Gracie looked up and saw Sam and got up and ran towards him.
"Dada", she said lifting her arms up to him.
Sam smirked at his daughter and picked her up and hugged her tightly.
"Bedtime sweetie", he mumbled to her.
Gracie shook her head and Sam rolled his eyes and took her to the change table and changed her nappy and took her over to her bed.
Gracie laughed softly while Sam was tickling her.
She shook her head at him which made him grin at her.
He kissed her forehead softly and grabbed her favorite stuffed toy.
Gracie snuggled up to her toy, and lay in the middle of the bed, looking at Sam.
Sam rolled his eyes, and lay next to her.
Two minutes later, Gracie was sleeping.
Sam shook his head, and got off the bed and kissed her head and left the room.
Sam quickly went to check on Daniel and saw him looking through a book, at the pictures.
Sam smiled and walked into the bedroom and sat on the bed next to Daniel.
Daniel hugged Sam and passed Sam the book and Sam rolled his eyes at Daniel.
They got comfy on the bed and Sam read the story until Daniel fell asleep.
He smiled at his son and kissed his son on the forehead.
Sam went back to his bedroom and saw Andy laying on the bed looking out the window.
He just watched her at the door for a few moments, just happy watching her stare at nothing.
Sam slowly made his way over to the bed and lay next to Andy and pulled her over to him.
Andy grinned and got up and sat on Sam's legs and rested her head against his.
"I'm okay", she whispered to Sam.
Sam looked at her for a moment and moved some hair out of her face and kissed her softly on the lips.
"You don't have to be strong around me", Sam said quietly to Andy
Andy looked at him and sighed.
"I am okay, it hurt at first, but I'm fine now", she said to Sam.
Sam sighed and nodded his head.
Andy kissed him softly on the lips and Sam groaned in response.
Sam flipped them over so Andy was on her back and she grinned at him undoing some buttons on his shirt.
Sam smirked at her and shook h is head.
"Kids are asleep", Sam mumbled as he undid some of the buttons on her shirt.
Sam shook his head at her as he pulled the covers over them.
An hour later, Andy was on top of Sam, breathing heavily while he was rubbing his hand up and down her back.
Sam grinned at Andy when she bent down to his lips and kissed him softly on them.
Andy rolled her eyes at Sam as she got off him and went and turned the night lamp off and they both went to sleep.
It was 3 am and Sam was woken up by Gracie crying in her bedroom.
Sam sighed and closed his eyes for a moment.
Gracie was used to her big bed, but sometimes, she would move around a lot and fall off it.
He got out of bed and put some pants on and went into her bedroom.
When he turned the light on, he shook his head at Gracie on the floor, trying to stand up by herself, but she kept falling down, because she was so tried, and she was getting upset because she couldn't stand up.
Sam slowly made his way over to her, bent down and picked her up and rubbed his hand up and down her back slowly trying to calm her down.
"Dada", she said in a sleepy voice.
Sam s shook his head and rubbed his hands up and down Gracie's back for a few more minutes.
Sam walked over to her change table to change her nappy and rolled his eyes at Gracie who shook his head at him.
Once her nappy was changed, Sam took her over to her bed and laid her down in the bed.
Sam watched as Gracie cuddled up to her favorite toy and got comfy.
He smiled and leaned over and kissed her forehead.
"Night sweetie", he mumbled to her and laughed as she attacked his hair.
"Daddy needs his hair", he mumbled as he tickled her.
Sam left the bedroom and went to check on Daniel, who was fast asleep he shook his head and went back to bed.
Both Sam and Andy had days off today, so they all slept in till 8 am.
Sam laughed when he heard Daniel talking to grace.
"No sissy, no boo", Daniel was saying.
Sam rolled his eyes and went to check on the kids.
He stood at the door frame of his bedroom and watched the kids playing in the hallway.
Sam rolled his eyes when Gracie fell down and got up shaking her head crying, walking towards him.
He bent down and picked her up and hugged her.
"Still half asleep I see", he mumbled to her rubbing her back up and down with his hands.
Sam took Daniels hand and walked downstairs with the kids.
He put the kids in the lounge room and turned on the TV and rolled his eyes at Daniel being excited about watching cartoons.
Sam went into the kitchen and made some coffee and was trying to decide what to make for breakfast when Andy came in and hugged him around his back.
Sam grinned and shook his head and turned around and hugged her tightly.
"Never going to sleep in, are you", he mumbled into her hair.
Andy shook her head and kissed him softly on his lips.
Sam rested his head against hers for a moment and let out a breath.
Andy looked at him strange for a moment, which made Sam roll his eyes at her.
"One day you aren't going to take my breath away every day", he mumbled to her while his head was still rested against hers.
Daniel came in jumping up and down.
"Fruit loops daddy", Daniel said jumping up and down.
Andy laughed and shook her head, while Sam rolled his eyes more.
Andy got the fruit loops out of the pantry and Sam got the bowls and milk ready.
The four of them ate breakfast.
Sam was watching Gracie make a mess, and be a grump because she was still sleepy.
He shook his head and walked up to her and picked her up and kissed her forehead.
Andy looked over at Sam and sighed, and Sam winked at her.
"She'll get used to the bed", he said looking at Andy while rubbing grace's back up and down.
"Maybe we should get bed rails or something, she keeps falling down", Andy said softly to him.
Sam winked at her and nodded his head while still rubbing Gracie's back up and down.
Daniel got off his chair and went back to the TV, which made Sam roll his eyes and Andy laugh softly.
"He's a kid Sam, they love cartoons", Andy said teasing him while she picked up the plates and put them in the sink.
Sam took Gracie in the lounge room and put her on the c ouch and sighed when she started to cry.
He bent down and kissed her forehead.
"Sleep", he mumbled to her and shook his head at her shaking her head at him.
Gracie finally fell asleep and Sam smiled at her and kissed her forehead.
Sam turned around and looked over at Daniel, who was shaking his head at Sam.

Daniel pointed to Gracie and shook his head.
"No sissy sleeping, playtime", Daniel said in an upset voice.
Sam rolled his eyes and went and sat down next to his son.
Daniel crawled over to Sam and sat in Sam's lap, which made Sam grin at his son.
"She's sleepy buddy, let her sleep for a bit", Sam said while ruffling Daniel's hair.
Daniel Sam and Andy spent half an hour watching cartoons together when Gracie woke up.
Sam looked over at Gracie trying to get off the couch and falling off the couch onto the floor and watched her cry for a moment.

"Its' okay sweetie, mummy daddy and Daniel are here", she said as she hugged her daughter.
Sam smirked at Gracie as she hugged Andy tightly.
It was lunch time already and Daniel was determined to help with making lunch.
Sam smiled and put a stool next to the bench so Daniel could help him make sandwiches for everyone.
Sam smiled as he saw Daniel putting them on the plates for everyone.
Daniel was only 3 so Sam didn't want him using a knife yet, but Daniel seemed happy enough to just put the sandwiches on the plate.
Daniel hopped off the stool and went to the fridge and got the juice out.
Sam smirked and shook his head as he got the kids cups out.
Daniel carefully carried the plastic plates to the table and put them on the table.
Sam carried t he drinks to the table and smirked when he saw Gracie getting up on her chair.
They all ate lunch together and Sam smiled as Daniel helped Gracie off her chair and went and played with her in the lounge room with her toys.

"She need to sleep again", Sam muttered as he walked into the lounge room to see Daniel helping Gracie up.
Gracie got up with Daniel's help and went to the couch and grabbed her soft toy and lay down.
Sam smiled at his daughter; she was growing up so fast. Sam shook his head at that thought.
He grabbed his keys and went and kissed Andy softly on the lips.
"I'll be back soon, going to get a rail for her bed", he mumbled against her lips.
Andy smiled softly and nodded her head.
Daniel came running to the door when Sam went and got his jacket and put it on.
Sam smiled at Daniel and bent down and kissed Daniel on the forehead.
"Go on, go and get your shoes", Sam said to Daniel and smirked when he saw Daniel run up to his bedroom quickly.
Half an hour later, Sam and Daniel were back and Sam was putting the rail on Gracie's bed.

"Behave out there, don't flirt with any guys", Sam mumbled against Andy's lips.
