Softly running his fingers up and down Andy's back as she laid breathlessly on top of him, Sam pressed a soft kiss to her head and happily held her in his arms just enjoying this moment with her. He had waited for this moment and now they were finally having it after their loss. He would have waited forever if he had to, but right now he was so happy to be holding his girl in his arms.

Tilting her head up slightly to look at Sam, Andy rested her one hand on his chest and smiled to him. "Oliver won't be happy if he finds out we had sex on his couch." She mused with a chuckle as she looked to him.

Sam couldn't help but laugh as he looked to her; shrugging a little he kept his arms around, still softly stroking her back as he gazed down to her. "We won't tell him. It'll be our little secret." He whispered with a smile to her.

Andy couldn't help but laugh as she heard him and happily stayed curled up on his chest lazily drawing circles with her finger. "Our little secret." She whispered with a smile as she sighed happily to herself. She felt relaxed. Content. Something she hadn't felt since the accident. "Did you still want to go for that walk?" Andy asked looking up to him.

"God no." Laughed Sam as he looked down to her. "You've worn me out."

Andy sighed in relief as he said no. "Good cause I think you've worn me out more and I couldn't face it." She admitted with a laugh as she looked up to him and pressed a kiss to his chin before smiling. "Though I am up for a lazy afternoon around the lake with some beers."

Sam smiled to her and nodded as he sat up, keeping his arms around her as he held her close to him. "Well let's get started." He kissed her head.

Reluctantly getting off him, Andy adjusted her shirt and slipped her underwear back on as she looked to him. "I'm going for a quick change then I'll be out."

Getting up from the couch, Sam slipped his boxers back on and pulled up his pants before nodding to Andy as he heard her. "I'll grab the cooler from the truck and get some beers chilled." He told her, not bothering to put his shirt on he grabbed his keys from the side and headed outside, heading over to his truck he took in a deep breath and smiled to himself. He loved it out here, it was so peaceful.

Heading into the bedroom, Andy changed into a bikini. Looking at herself in the mirror she sighed a little. Her scar was still red, was less sore but to her…it stood out like a sore thumb. She had stopped changing in front of Sam, wore vests or one of his shirts. Grabbing a vest from the draw she slipped it on before putting on a pair of shorts. She didn't want to see it or Sam to see it.
Slipping on her flip flops she then headed out to the lake. Not seeing Sam there she frowned and glanced around a little. "Sam?" She called looking around before she then looked over to the truck seeing ahead bobbing around. Frowning she headed over. "Sam?" She called again heading to the back, frowning as she saw someone rummaging through the back. "Hey what the hell do you think you are doing?" She demanded looking to the intruder.

Shocked he was caught the intruder looked to Andy, his eyes wide; he wasn't expecting to be disturbed. Panicking he tried to make a run for it, but he didn't know that she was a cop and he didn't know she was quick.

As he went to run, Andy quickly grabbed him and pushed him into the side of the truck her hand firmly on his chest as she looked to him. "I think I asked you a question. Cause last time I checked this was my boyfriend's truck and you are not him." She told him looking to him.

"Andy are you out here?" Came Sam's voice as he stood in the doorway of the cabin.

Distracted by Sam as he called her, Andy didn't get the chance to reply before the intruder punched her in the stomach and tackled her away from the truck before he grabbed her by the arm and shoved her into the lake before running off.

"Andy!" Sam called seeing her go into lake and rushed down; seeing the intruder had disappeared he then rushed over to help Andy. Jumping into the lake he swam over to her and pulled her to him. "Are you okay?" He asked as he looked to her, his arm around her waist while his other hand rested on her collarbone lightly.

"I'm okay." Andy replied, moving her arm around his neck. "He winded me though." She grumbled moving her hand to her stomach. Her ribs were still tender from being broke so she was thankful he didn't punch her in the ribs!

Heading back to the edge of the lake he moved Andy up onto the side before he pushed himself out of the water and sat next to her. "What happened?"

"I found him going through the back of your truck." She mumbled squeezing the water out of her hair. "When you called me I lost focus and he got the upper hand." She explained before looking to him. "I'm fine honestly." She told him with a soft smile.

Sighing he kissed her head and moved his arm around her and held her close to him as he lent his head down onto hers. "Well…not the way I pictured spending the day down on the lake…" He whispered before he then looked down to her. "How about we get into some dry clothes and try again?"

Andy leant into him before she then looked to him and sighed a little. "Sam you have to go after him…"

"Andy he was probably just passing by and thought he'd take a chance…he'll be long gone by now. I'm not leaving you. I'll call it in. Let Oliver know." He told her as he looked to her before he got to his feet and held his hand out to her. "Come on. Let's go get dry."

Taking his hand, Andy got to her feet and looked to him. "No one will come out here though will they?" She asked looking to him. She still wasn't ready to see anyone.

"They'll want a statement and a description…" He told her with a sigh before looking to her. "How about Oliver just comes down?" He asked looking to him. "It'll just be him, no one else."

Andy hesitated for a moment before she then looked to him and sighed and nodded. "Okay. As long as it's just Oliver and no one else." She told him before she then headed back inside the cabin to get some dry clothes.

Watching her go, Sam sighed a little before he then headed inside. Grabbing his phone from the side he quickly text Oliver to come to the cabin asap alone before he headed into the bedroom. As he entered and saw Andy quickly move her shirt down over her stomach he frowned a little. "Hey…" He moved over to her and looked to her, moving his hands to the rim of her top he gently started to lift it up.

As Sam started to lift her shirt up, Andy quickly shook her head and moved her hands to stop him. "Don't." She whispered looking to him.

Shaking his head he looked to her. "Hey…don't hide from me." He whispered back to her before he then lifted her shirt up. Seeing she hadn't sustained any injuries from the intruder he then looked to her scar and looked to her as he gently ran his thumb over it. "You don't have to hide this from me." He whispered keeping his eyes locked on her. "I'd love you even if you had a hundred of these…" He whispered. "It'll fade…" He whispered before looking to her and smiled to her and pointed to his own stomach. "I have two belly buttons remember."

Andy laughed a little before she then sighed a little. "It just looks so…ugly right now. I don't want to look at it…"

Sam moved his arms around her and kissed her head. "And it'll fade…it doesn't change you Andy…"

"But it's a reminder…" She whispered looking to him.

Sam sighed and nodded. "It is…but it doesn't change how I feel about you. Doesn't change us. Yes it's a reminder of what we have lost…but it's also a reminder of how strong we are together." He whispered as he then kissed her head. "I've text Oliver…he should be here in a little while." He told her before he then stepped away from her and put on some dry trousers.

Nodding a little Andy plonked herself on the edge of the bed. "I'm nervous." She admitted as she looked to Sam.

"You don't need to be nervous."

"I know…but it's been a while since I've seen anyone other than you or a doctor." She mumbled playing with her fingers.

Kneeling down in front of her, he moved between her legs and ran his hands gently up and down her thighs. "You have nothing to worry about it. Oliver isn't going to treat you any different than he does already…"

Andy scoffed as she looked to him. "He put me on desk duty."

Sam laughed as he looked to her. "You have broken ribs he had no choice…"

Andy nodded and sighed. "I know."

Leaning up, Sam cupped her face before he pressed a kiss to her forehead and smiled as he looked to her. "Don't worry so much." He told her with a smile to her before he looked up hearing a knock at the door. "Come out when you're ready." He told her with a smile before he then headed out of the bedroom then to the front door, opening it he laughed a little stepping aside for Oliver to come in. "This is your place man you didn't need to knock."

"I know but I didn't know what you two would be up to." He commented before looking to him as he entered the cabin. "So what's up? Your text sounded pretty urgent…" He asked as he turned to look at his friend.

Sam sighed. "Andy was attacked…"

Oliver's mouth dropped. "What? Is she okay? What happened?"

"She's fine. No harm done." Sam quickly reassured him. "She caught someone going through the back of my truck, she confronted him and he ended up getting the upper hand, winded her and threw her in the lake…he was long gone by the time I reached the dock."

"Do you have a description? Did he take anything?" Oliver asked looking to him.

"Don't think he took anything, Andy just said he was rummaging through the back…but yes…she can give you a description."

Oliver nodded a little before he looked to him. "We don't have to do this now…not if she's not ready."

"It's okay Oliver." Came Andy's voice as she appeared in the hallway. "We can do this now."

Oliver smiled to her. "It's good to see you kiddo. What can you tell me about this guy?"

Moving next to Sam, she ran her fingers lightly through her hair. "Urm white a bit taller than me, about eighteen years old maybe even younger…wearing a blue hoody, ripped jeans, maybe had browny-blonde hair, he had his hood up…I think maybe he was a homeless kid…he looked…too rough…"

"You think maybe he was just looking for something to eat?" He asked looking to her as he wrote down everything she told him.

Andy shrugged a little. "Maybe…he was on the skinny side so maybe he was…he seemed generally panicked when I caught him. I think he just freaked and done what he had to do to get away."

Oliver nodded. "Okay I'll get a description out on this kid…"

"I don't think he meant any harm…and I think he is long gone by now…"

Oliver smiled to her and gave a slight nod. "We will keep an eye out anyway. We don't want him to target anyone else." He smiled to her and popped his memo book away and looked to her. "You sure you're okay though?"

Andy smiled and nodded to him. "I'm fine honestly."

Oliver smiled and nodded. "Good…look I'll leave you two in peace…if you need anything, let me know." He told them with a smile before he then headed to the door. "If anything comes up I'll let you know." He looked back and smiled to them. "We all miss you." He told them with a smile before he then headed out, closing the door behind him.

Andy smiled to Oliver before she then took a breath as she relaxed against Sam and smiled up to him. "That wasn't as bad as I thought."

Sam smiled and kissed her head. "Course it wasn't. It's Oliver." He chuckled and smiled to her before he kissed her head and smiled to her. "Come on, I think there's some beers with our names on waiting for us." He beamed as he held his hand out for her and tugged her outside, his arm around her waist as he kept her close to him. Andy seeing Oliver…and well allowing him to come here, it was another step forward and right now he was so proud of her. He knew how hard she was finding everything but this was such an achievement for her. Onwards and upwards.
