7 Hours Later:
Andy slowly opened her eyes. She couldn't remember falling asleep. She looked around the room. A nurse was checking on Sam and it all slowly started coming back to her. Andy asked what had happened and how long she had been asleep. The nurse smiled at her and explained that the doctor had given her a sleeping to pill seven hours ago to allow her body to rest since she had been fighting sleep and exhaustion. She started to say that she hadn't taken a pill when it dawned on her that Oliver had brought her a drink in the middle of the night. He must have helped the doctor. She was going to kill him when she saw him next! How could he let me sleep when Sam still hasn't been awake! "Don't worry. Office Swarek is doing fine. We will be waking him in thirty minutes. That gives you just enough time to go see your friends out there." Andy nodded and got up to leave. She pressed a kiss to Sam's forehead. "I'll be back in just a minute," she whispered to him.
Andy left his room and walked to the waiting room. When she entered the waiting room, she saw Oliver, Celery, Traci, Chris, Gail, Nick, Noelle, and Frank. She knew Dov would still be with Chloe who was up on the next floor recovering from a cracked rib and a nasty bruise where she took one in the vest earlier the day before. They were keeping her for observation, but she would be released later that day. She smiled at them and knew they would be there for her and Sam through it all. She looked straight at Oliver; "Ollie, you are so dead!" All the others just laughed so she knew he had told them what he had done. "It was for your own good McNally." She knew he was right but was not going to admit it out loud. She updated them on Sam and gave each of them a hug, thanking them for their support. "I really should be getting back." Everyone nodded in understanding. Andy turned to go but Frank stopped her.
"McNally, we'll all be here after he wakes. Oh and by the way, you're on sick leave until Sammy is better. Noelle will fill in if we need her so you have nothing to worry about." This brought tears to her eyes. She didn't know how to thank him or what to say so she just nodded and turned to leave.
She returned to Sam's room and wiped the tears from her eyes. Even after deserting her friends for six months to go under cover, they were still there for her no matter what. At times it was overwhelming, but right now she was glad she had this support. She was going to need it in the coming days. She knew the next few days would be a struggle, but she knew deep down they would be ok no matter what happened. She was getting her second chance with him and everybody seemed to support them. They would get through this because true love always finds a way.
She pushed herself off the door and returned to her seat by Sam's bed. She took his hand and softly stroked the back of his hand with her thumb. All she could do now was wait for the doctor to come and wake Sam up.
A/N: Well there is the end of chapter 4. Hope you are enjoying it so far. I also couldn't put Chloe in a life threating situation. First, I like her and second, one person fighting for their life is enough for me. Up next: what happens when Sam wakes up? I'll try to get the next chapter posted soon!
