A frown forming on Sam's features as he his phone went off on the bedside table, he gently rolled away from Andy who was sleeping peacefully next to him and grabbed his phone from the side. Getting up from the bed he quietly left the room before he answered his phone, gently closing the door after him. "Hey Oliver." He mumbled tiredly as he rubbed his eyes a little. "How's it going?"
"Well I was going to ask you the same thing." Mused Oliver from the other end of the phone. "How's it going?"
Sam nodded. Mainly to himself. "Good."
"And Andy?"
"She's good. She seems a lot more relaxed now we are out here. Less…distant than she had been." He explained as he headed down to the living room area of the cabin and sat himself down on the couch. They had been here four days now. Two days after Sam bought Andy home from the hospital the doctor was happy that her blood levels were normal and discharged her. Andy was initially distant. Quiet. But now they were out here in the cabin, Andy was a lot more relaxed and seemed to be getting back to her old self.
"Yeah? That's good brother, just remember it's going to take time okay? Don't get your boxers in a twist if she pushes you away. Give her the space she needs then be there for her when she needs you."
"Oliver Shaw are you turning into a psychologist without telling me?" He mused with a cheeky grin.
"Words of wisdom my friend. Everything at the cabin okay?"
"Yeah of course. Scared we won't leave it one piece?" He mused with a smirk.
"I trust you brother don't worry. Enjoy it out there okay? Send Andy our love."
"I will. Thanks brother." Hanging up the phone he then got to his feet once more and went back to the bedroom. Climbing back on the bed he kissed Andy's shoulder before happily moving his arms around her and curled back up with her.
"Who was that?" Andy asked tiredly as she leant back into him more.
"Just Oliver checking in, making sure everything was okay with the cabin. He sends his love." He whispered to her as he kissed her shoulder once more.
Andy smiled to herself as she heard him. "He's too adorable." She whispered tiredly before she happily turned in his arms and draped her arm over his torso and gently rested her forehead against his chin.
"You sleep okay?" He whispered down to her, kissing her forehead.
Andy smiled and nodded as she tilted her head up slightly to look at him. "Surprisingly I did. This bed is quite comfy."
"Memory foam." Laughed Sam with a shake of his head before he looked to her. "How are you feeling in general?" He asked moving his arm around her more, softly stroking her back. He just wanted to know that she was alright.
Andy sighed at his question and shrugged a little to him as she lazily played with the hairs on his chest, trying to avoid his gaze.
"You can talk to me Andy." He told her softly, moving his fingers to under her chin he gently lifted her head up to look at him. "Talk to me."
Andy looked to him. "I feel like…there's a part of me missing." She whispered looking down slightly to his chin before looking to him, meeting his eyes once more. "I keep thinking…what if. What if I hadn't gone to that evidence room? We'd still have our baby. I feel guilty."
"You have nothing to feel guilty about." Sighed Sam as he looked to her. "Nothing at all. It was unavoidable…but we're going to have our baby. I promise. That will happen." Cupping her face gently in his hands he pressed a soft kiss to her lips before looking to her. "Now we can stay here as long as you want. There is no rush to go home. This time right now is about us. Getting through this together."
Andy nodded as she heard him. She couldn't help but feel guilty. Kissing him back as he kissed her she smiled slightly before she then sighed and cuddled into him more. "I love you." She whispered clinging onto him tightly.
"I love you too." He whispered to her before he kissed her head and held her close to him before he then looked down to her. "Now…what do you want for breakfast?" he asked looking to her.
"I'm not really hungry." She mumbled looking to him.
Sam frowned and sighed. "McNally you haven't eaten properly since you were taken into hospital…you got to eat something, there's hardly anything to you right now." He whispered with a soft sigh passing his lips as he ran his fingers gently over her hip bone. She was thin anyway…but right now she was even thinner. She'd lost so much weight.
"I just don't have an appetite right now." She whispered with a sigh.
"Just eat something…for me?"
Andy looked to him for a minute. She knew he wouldn't let this go until she ate something. Nodding a little she sighed. "Fine but nothing big."
"Bacon sandwich?" He asked with a smile to her.
Andy nodded and smiled to him. "Sure."
Sam smiled as he lent down and stole a kiss off her before he climbed off the bed and headed out to the kitchen.
Sighing to herself Andy rolled onto her back before she stared up at the ceiling for a few minutes before she then dragged herself out of bed. She had to get her act together. She had to stay strong but at this point she didn't know how to. Slipping on one of Sam's t-shirts she then headed out and stood in the kitchen doorway watching Sam. "I think I could get used to seeing you cooking." She mused looking to him.
Sam scoffed. "I always cook thank you very much."
"You assist me…" She teased looking to him.
Sam looked back to her and smirked. "Behave you." He poked his tongue out to her before he flipped the bacon over before he then moved over to her, moving his arms around her waist he playfully tapped her bum and kissed the top of her nose before kissing her.
Moving her arms around him, Andy smiled as she happily kissed him back, keeping herself close to him as she rested her head on his chest. When she was in his arms the pain of their loss seemed to fade away. If she didn't have Sam she didn't know how she would be able to get through this. He was her rock.
Gently moving back to the frying pan with Andy still in his arms he kissed her head and smiled as he hooked her under his arm as he then used his free arm to flip the bacon once more. "You want an egg too?" He asked looking down to her, pressing a soft kiss to her head.
Andy shook her head staying cuddled into his side. "No just bacon will be fine."
Nodding a little Sam then popped the bacon onto the waiting bread on the side. Breaking away from Andy he made the sandwiches up before cutting them in half and passed a plate to Andy. "Dig in." He mused with a smile to her.
Taking the plate, Andy smiled as she made her way over to the couch. Plonking herself down she then picked up one half of her sandwich and bit into it.
Seeing Andy finally eat something he couldn't help but smile. Grabbing his own plate he then moved and sat down next to her, happily digging into his own sandwich. "So what would you like to do today?" He asked as he looked to her.
Swallowing the food that was in her mouth, Andy then looked to him and shrugged a little to him. "Do we have to do anything?" She asked looking to him. "Can't we just…be lazy?"
Sam laughed and smiled to her. "We could…but we've done that since we've got here." He finished off his sandwich and popped the plate on the coffee table in front of him. "How about…we go for a walk? Then after that we can laze around the lake with a few beers and I can tell you how much I love you."
Andy smiled as she heard him. "That kinda sounds perfect." She mused with a smile to him before she finished her sandwich off and popped her plate on top of his before she climbed over to him and moved to sit on his lap, straddling him she cupped his face as she lent down and kissed him. "I love you."
Moving his arms around her as she straddled him he happily kissed her back before smiling, gently running his fingers across her jaw. "And I love you…" He whispered to her before he smiled and happily pulled her down for another kiss. He was expecting her to push him away. They hadn't been intimate since the explosion; she just about let him hold her through the night so this was a big step for them!
Smiling as he kissed her again, Andy happily kissed him back. She knew she couldn't keep pushing him away. It wasn't fair on him. They always loved being intimate with each other and she wanted them to keep doing that. They had to stick together in this. Running her hands down his chest, she moved her hands up under his shirt to feel his abs. Feel his skin. The kiss getting more intense and full of need by the second.
As he felt her hands move up under his shirt, he broke the kiss slightly and looked to her, he could feel himself getting turned on. "We don't have to…" he whispered resting his hands on her hips. He didn't want her to feel like she had to.
"I want to." She whispered hovering her lips to his. "I want you." She whispered pressing her lips to his once more.
Hearing her he nodded a little and kissed her back once more, his hands moving slowly up her back as he gently pulled her body closer to his. He loved this woman more than life itself and he was going to make sure that she knew it. He was going to spend every day for the rest of his life showing this woman how much he loved her.
