All through the day Sam was quiet. Very quiet. He didn't know how to break it to Andy. He'd look over to her sat at her desk now and again and he wanted to buck up the courage to go and speak to her but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. He knew how much it would break her heart. It might only be a possibility that he was the dad but it would be enough to upset Andy.
"Everything okay there Swarek?" Traci asked as she saw him staring into space again.
Snapping out of his own little world, Sam sighed a little and nodded as he rubbed his head a little. "Yeah I'm fine." He told her with a smile.
"You sure?" She asked. "You seem in your own little world."
"Yeah just got a lot on my mind." He told her as he then busied himself on his computer. It wasn't something he wanted to talk about.
Traci looked to him for a moment before nodding a little and carried on with her case file. It was obvious he didn't want to talk but Sam was never a talker anyway!
Sam looked to her before he then looked to his computer, even finding the words he was finding difficult! He'd have to tell her tonight. He couldn't risk telling her here with Marlo still in the building. He didn't know how Andy would react and he had a feeling it wouldn't be a good reaction.
"Hey Andy." Smiled Traci spotting Andy coming in.
"Hey." She smiled a little as she moved over to Sam's desk and perched herself on the edge of it.
"What's wrong? You look like you've lost the will to live." Traci asked with a chuckle.
"I have. This paperwork is officially boring me to death. I've already made five cups of coffee just to get away from it." She grumbled folding her arms across her chest.
Traci laughed looking to her. "Miss being on the streets ey?"
Andy nodded. "Right now I'd settle for being Duncan's stupid training officer again just to get off that desk."
"Don't let Oliver hear you say that he'll have you on that desk even longer." Mused Sam as he looked to her.
Andy shot him a playful glare. "He wouldn't dare." She pouted before looking between the two of them. "You guys need help? I'll take anything as long as it's not my paperwork."
"You can go through some numbers for me if you like?" Sam suggested looking to her offering her some papers. "Any regular numbers or anything that stands out."
Quickly taking the papers Andy smiled. "Happily." She beamed as she grabbed a chair and rolled over to Sam's desk and grabbed a highlighter off his desk.
Sam smiled to her before he carried on his computer.
Flicking through the papers, Andy done what was asked. It felt good to be back in work. Back into normality at last. Glancing up as she saw Marlo come in she rolled her eyes a little and carried on looking at the papers in front of her. She didn't want to end up in conversation with her.
"McNally." Came Marlo's voice.
"Cruz." Was Andy's simple reply, not bothering to look up from what she was doing.
"Glad to see you back."
Andy looked to her. She could see that look in her eye. The look many people had given her. The pity look.
"I'm…"
"Don't want to hear it." Andy cut in looking to her making both Sam and Traci look up and watch the two. "I don't want to hear you're sorry…I don't want or need your pity Marlo." She told her in a slight snap before looking back down to her work.
Marlo looked at her before looking to Sam once more. Clenching her jaw she moved and sat down. "Was just trying to be polite."
"Don't care." Andy told her with a slight shrug. "I've had enough pity off everyone. I don't need anymore."
"It's not pity McNally it's genuine concern for a colleague."
"I'm not your colleague." Andy replied looking to her, resting the papers on her legs. "As far as I'm concerned? The sooner you are gone the better." She told her.
"Yeah well sorry to disappoint you but I'm going to be around longer than originally planned." She told her.
"Shame. I was going to throw a party."
"Okay time out you two." Traci cut in looking to them.
"Don't worry. I was going to go grab a coffee anyway." And mumbled as she got up and headed out of the detectives room and down to the lounge.
Sam sighed as he looked to her before he then looked over to Marlo. "Was that necessary?"
"I was only trying to be polite…she's the one who got her panties in a twist." She commented before rolling her eyes as Sam went after Andy.
Going down into the lounge, Sam sighed as he moved over to Andy and stood next to her as she made a coffee. "You okay?"
"I'm fine." She commented before slamming the spoon down. "No. Actually I'm not fine. I want her gone. What the hell she got to stick around for anyway? Not like there's anything actually here for her now is there." She grumbled with a shake of her head.
Sam sighed. He had to tell her. "Andy…" He whispered looking to her.
"What?" She grumbled as she looked to him.
"She's pregnant." He mumbled looking to her.
Andy looked to him and frowned. "Who Marlo? So? What's that got to do with her sticking around?"
"She's four months gone…"
Andy's face dropped as she moved away from him. "Yours…"
Sam sighed. "She said it might be. There's another guy…."
Andy couldn't look him in the eye. Her jaw clenched and her eyes filling with tears. Staying silent she then looked to him before she then walked passed him.
"Andy…" He called after her, turning to watch her go.
Andy shook her head as she looked to him. "No. Don't. It's all her fault. I knew it." She commented as she left and headed back to the detectives room.
Sam frowned as he heard her and quickly followed her out. "McNally." He called after her once more before following her up the steps.
"So this is why you're sorry." Andy snapped as she stood next to the desk. "You kill my baby in hoping Sam would come running back to you with his so called baby?"
Marlo looked to Andy and frowned. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Andy…" Frowned Traci as she got up from her seat.
Sam stood next to Andy as he came in. "Not here." He whispered to her.
Ignoring Sam and Traci, Andy looked to Marlo. "It was you who sent me to the evidence room that day. Was that your plan? Try and kill me?"
"You're crazy." Marlo commented looking back to her computer.
"No you're the crazy one. Admit it Marlo. You planted that bomb to try and get rid of me so Sam would come running back to you to look after your baby. But instead of killing me you killed my baby instead."
"You're pregnant?" Traci commented looking to Marlo, her mouth dropping slightly. Now she wasn't expecting that!
Getting to her feet Marlo looked to Andy, the two of them squaring up. "I had nothing to do with that bomb."
"Liar."
"Think what you want McNally. I didn't have anything to do with that bomb. You were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Gently grabbing Andy's arm, Sam sighed. "Come on let's get you out for some fresh air."
"Fresh air?!" Andy scoffed yanking her arm back as she glared to him. "She kills our baby and you're taking her side!" She shook her head as she stormed out of the office and out of the station. She needed to get away from them. Heading to a squad car she just sat in it before the tears just fell and she broke down. How could this be happening? How could Sam be possibly having a baby with HER!? This wasn't fair. Not in her eyes. She was Sam's girlfriend. Not Marlo. She should be carrying Sam's baby. Not Marlo. Right now she really did wish that she hadn't come back to work. She wanted to crawl under a rock and hide forever.
