A/N: Thank you for the continued support! Here is the next chapter. I haven't decided yet whether to continue or make this the last chapter. School has become very busy & I'm finding it difficult to have time to write, but I do have Fall Break next week so I might get some writing done then. Let me know what you think after reading this chapter! Enjoy!
Andy was lying in the bed beside Sam. The doctor had made his nightly visit and told them that if Sam kept improving without any problems he could go home in the next day or two. It would still be a couple of weeks before he was cleared for light duty and then even longer before he was back active, but at this point she was just happy he was still here. Sam wasn't too thrilled with having to wait so long before returning to work, but he could live with it; he knew how lucky he had been. Sam was playing with Andy's hair. She had been quiet for a while, and he hadn't wanted to push the issue of what she was hiding from him, but it was killing him not knowing. She had been so still and so quiet that he was sure she had fallen asleep.
"Andy, I hope you will give me the chance to tell you and show you every day how much I love you. You're the most important person in my world, and I never stopped loving you." He whispered all of this into her hair. Andy secretly smiled. She knew he thought she was asleep, and she surprised him when she answered. "Sam, I never stopped loving you either. I left because I needed to prove what kind of cop I am. I had begged, begged, Luke that morning to let me be on the task force. I couldn't turn him down when he told me I was in after begging to go." Sam nodded. "I would have come to the Penny. I would have made you wait, but I would've come." Sam smiled. Maybe we do have a chance at this he thinks. "Sam?" "Hmm." "When I went by your house earlier I saw my shirt, my shampoo, and my soap. In knew right then that you never stopped loving me because if you had, you wouldn't have kept my stuff." "So that why you were so happy when you got back?" Andy nodded. Sam leaned down to kiss her. A real kiss. A kiss they had wanted for a long time. There was so much passion and love, so many unspoken words.
They broke apart when Andy heard someone clear their voice. She buried her head in Sam's shoulder had a blush crept up her cheeks. Sam opened his eyes to see Oliver at the door. "Well I'm glad you two finally got it together. I was just going to stop by to see how y'all were doing and if you needed anything, but looks like y'all are just fine." All of this was said with a big smile on his face. He couldn't be happier for his best friend and his almost daughter. Sam smiled back. "Andy went by the house earlier and got some things so we're fine. Hopefully I'll be out of here soon." "Well y'all just call if you need anything. I'll let ya get back to it." Oliver winked at them and then left. Andy giggled. Sam had missed her laugh, her smile, just everything about her. He was glad they were back.
Sam kissed her several more times before he noticed that each time her eyes looked heavier. "Andy, baby, you really need to go home and get some sleep." "No can do Sweark. As long as you're here that is where I'm going to be. I can sleep just fine right here." She can be so stubborn sometimes. Sam knew it was a losing battle so he didn't even try. He just started playing with her hair, knowing she would be asleep soon. He whispered sweet nothings in her ear until she fell asleep. He kissed her forehead one last time before he fell asleep too. Both had smiles on their faces as they both slept in his hospital bed for the night.
A/N2: Let me know if I should continue or not. Like I said, I am going to be busy with school and it will be at least next weekend before I am able to update again. Hope you enjoyed reading!
