"You sure that you are ready to go back to work? Could always leave it another week if you're still not ready?" Sam asked as he sat on the edge of the bed and watched Andy get ready that morning. It had been a total of six weeks since Andy's miscarriage. They spent four weeks at the cabin but the last two weeks Andy wanted to be back at home and wanted to get back into routine of being back into normality.

Andy looked to him and smiled as she gave a slight nod "I'm sure. I need to get back to normal Sam. I can't mope around the house anymore. I need to get back out there. Start doing my job again…"

"Problem being you won't be going back out there. You've still got broken ribs. They're not healed completely."

"I know but I still wanna be back in work. People have seen me now. They've stopped looking at me like I'm some little lost puppy." Moving over to him, Andy moved between his legs as she moved her arms around his neck and looked down to him and smiled to him. "Don't worry so much. I'm going to be on desk duty…you can keep an eye on me if you must."

Moving his arms around her he held her close to him and nodded to her. "I will be keeping an eye on you don't you worry." He smiled to her and tapped her bum playfully before standing up; stealing a kiss off her he smiled to her, keeping his arms around her.

"I don't want to sound like a bitch or anything…but I really hope Marlo is gone. Of all people I do not want a pity look off her." She grumbled with a roll of her eyes before she looked up to Sam once more.

Sam looked down to her. "If she is still there take no notice of her."

"I'll try but there will be no promises. She's just rubbing me up the wrong way lately...well back before I was off work." Andy mumbled before she smiled to him before she happily kissed him briefly before grabbing her bag from the side. "Come on Swarek. Let's get to work."

Sam smiled. "After you Officer McNally." He teased with a smile to her.

"Thank you detective." She mused, poking her tongue out to him, Andy happily headed out of the house and down to Sam's truck. Popping her bag in the back she climbed into the passenger seat as she waited for Sam to get in the truck. As he climbed in she looked over to him. "Smoothie?" She asked with a hopeful grin to him.

Sam laughed as he popped the key into the ignition of the truck. "I had a funny feeling you were going to suggest that."

"Hey they are good smoothies and you know it!" She beamed with a grin to him. "You've been having them since I introduced you to them all those months ago."

"Okay I can't argue with that." Shaking his head he smiled as he headed towards the smoothie truck. There was no denying that this was the best smoothies! Pulling up he looked to her. "What you fancy?"

"Hmmm I'll have a Merry Berry please." She told him with a smile.

Nodding, Sam got out of the truck and headed over. Ordering the two smoothies he waited patiently, glancing over to Andy in the truck now and again just to make sure she was okay before he then paid the guy and went back. Passing Andy her smoothie through the window he climbed back into the truck, taking a sip of his own smoothie as he closed the door.

"What flavour you get?" Andy asked taking a sip of her own smoothie.

Sam laughed a little. "Zesty Fun." He mused with a chuckle.

"Ooo sounds zesty." Laughed Andy with a shake of her head.

Sam laughed as he heard her and shook his head as he drove to the station. She seemed like her old self and he couldn't help but smile, he had missed this Andy and he was so glad she was feeling better. Pulling into the car park he parked in his usual spot and cut the engine before looking to Andy. She had gone quiet. "You okay?" He asked looking to her.

Andy smiled and nodded as she looked to him. "Yep. Just seems so long since we were last here." She told him before she got out of the truck and grabbed her bag from the back. Taking a sip of her smoothie she waited for Sam to get out before the couple headed into the station. People were looking but she took no notice of them. Spotting Marlo in the detectives room she rolled her eyes. "Great." She mumbled before she then looked to Sam and smiled a little. "I'll see you in parade." She told him before she glanced to Marlo once more before heading into the locker rooms, taking another sip of her smoothie.

Sam sighed a little seeing Marlo before he then looked down to Andy and nodded a little as he watched her go before he sighed as he headed up to the detectives office. He was hoping she had finished her work and would be gone by now. What more work could she possibly be doing?

"Good morning Detective." Mused Traci as she looked to him as he walked into the office. "Good to have you back." She beamed with a smile.

Sam smiled to Traci. "Thanks Nash." He smiled to her before glancing to Marlo briefly before sitting down at his desk, popping his smoothie on the side as he relaxed back in his chair as he glanced out the windows slightly to the officers heading to parade.

"Andy doing okay?" Traci asked looking to him.

Sam smiled and nodded as he looked to her. "Yeah she's fine. She seems to be her old self again. She's in the changing rooms. She's glad to be getting back to work."

"You mean desk duty?" Laughed Traci with a shake of her head. "I'm going to go say hi." She mused as she got up from her seat and headed out of the office.

As Traci left, Sam moved forward and started to type away on his computer. He wasn't up for having a conversation with Marlo.

"Hey Sam." Came Marlo's voice as she looked to him a soft sigh passing her lips.

Sam sighed a little as he looked to her slightly. "Yeah?"

"I'm sor…"

"Don't." He cut in looking to her with a sigh. "I don't want to hear you're sorry. We've had enough of them." He told her firmly. "It happened. Me and Andy are getting through this. We don't want your pity." He told her before he then looked back to his computer once more.

"I need to tell you something." She told him before sighing. "It's important."

Sam sighed. "What is it Marlo?"

Marlo glanced at him slightly and sighed. "I'm pregnant."

Sam turned and looked to her. "What?" He asked, the colour draining from his face. This was not happening.

"I'm pregnant…and you might be the father…"

Sam frowned. "Might?" He asked looking to her. "I've just come back mourning the loss of one child and now you're telling me this?"

"I'm four months…after I left I lost it for a bit…met a guy…" She trailed off and sighed as she looked to him. "I wasn't going to tell you if I'm being honest. I was just going to get on with it myself and raise the baby on my own, but I'm going to be here longer than expected and I'm probably going to start showing soon…I just thought you ought to know…I won't be able to do a paternity test until after the baby is born…"

Sam looked to her completely shocked. Of all things for her to say…she says that. He was in shock. This wasn't going to go down well with Andy at all. As he saw Andy and Traci go into the parade room he looked to Marlo. "You don't tell anyone about this until I've spoken to Andy about it." He shook his head.

"Dov knows…he found my scan picture when he was helping out up here." She whispered looking to him.

Sam sighed in frustration. "Just don't tell anyone else. This is going to hit her like a ton of bricks. For her sake…I hope that baby is not mine. It'll break her heart. " He mumbled shaking his head before he looked to Marlo once more before heading down to the parade room. It might have sounded harsh that he didn't want to be the father of Marlo's baby but it was how he felt right now. Still mourning the baby he could have had with Andy and now Marlo dropped this bombshell on him. How could he possibly tell Andy this news? It would not be the easiest thing to tell her in normal circumstances….but after losing their own baby? He couldn't bear to think about her reaction right now.
