Heading into the car park, Sam glanced around to see if he could see Andy. Seeing her sat in one of the squad cars he sighed a little as he headed over to her. Going into the passenger side of the car he shut the door after him as he sat there for a minute before looking to her. Her eyes were red and puffy. "I wasn't taking her side." He told her. "But in there wasn't the time or place to be having a slanging match with her…"
"How long have you known you could be the father to her child?" Andy asked, her eyes locked ahead of her.
"She told me this morning. I was going to tell you tonight at home…just so we could avoid this whole scene…"
"Must be very convenient of her." Andy mumbled.
"She wasn't going to tell me. She was happy to go and do this on her own, but she's going to be staying until this explosion incident is sorted and she said she would start to show soon."
"She did it." Andy told him looking to him.
"You don't know that." Sam sighed looking to her.
Andy looked to him. "Don't I? How long has she known she was pregnant Sam? She knew she wouldn't be able to split us up to get you back…she knew the only way to get you back was to get rid of me…hence why she sent me to the evidence room knowing fully well that the bomb was in there ready to go off."
Sam sighed. "Andy do you have any idea how crazy that sounds? Marlo doesn't want me back…not to mention I'd never go back…."
"Not even if you lost me?" Andy asked.
"Not even if I lost you. I love you not her." He confirmed looking to her. Taking her hand in his he sighed. "I know it hurts…and I'm praying I'm not the dad…because the only person I want babies with is you." He whispered as he looked to her before bringing her hand up and pressing a soft kiss to it. "I love you Andy McNally." He whispered. "Only you. Marlo doesn't mean anything." He promised.
Hearing him, Andy looked to him the tears already welling in her eyes. "It still hurts."
Moving his hand to her cheek he sighed and wiped the tear that escaped the corner of her eye. "I know it does…but we can get through it. We can get through anything."
"Promise?" Andy whispered, clinging onto his hand tightly.
"I promise." He told her before he sighed and pulled her to him as he pressed a kiss to her head and wrapped his arms tightly around her. "Maybe we came back too soon." He whispered as he gently rubbed her back.
Andy sighed moving her arms around him and hugged him back before shrugging a little. "We didn't know this was going to happen on the first day back."
"No we didn't but it's a sore subject…to both of us. It was the last thing we expected. Do you want to go home?" He asked as he looked to her.
Andy shook her head as she looked to him. "No. I want to stay."
"Andy…"
"No Sam. As long as she stays out of my way I'll be fine."
Looking to her for a minute he then moved his hand to pocket and gave her some money. "Go get us some pizza."
"I'm not hungry."
"Please?" Sam asked looking to her. "I'll see if Oliver can move Marlo."
Rolling her eyes Andy took the money and sighed. "Fine I'll do the pizza run."
"Love you." He smiled and kissed her head before he got out of the squad car and headed inside. He was glad that he got her to calm down but he wasn't too keen on the fact that Marlo was going to still be around. Heading back into the station Sam headed up to Oliver's office and gave it a knock.
"Hey Sammy come on in." Oliver shouted from his desk as he busied himself with paperwork.
Going in Sam moved over to the desk and plonked himself down on the chair. "We have a problem." He mumbled with a sigh.
Stopping what he was doing Oliver put his pen down and looked to him. "Is Andy okay?"
"Not really." He sighed. "Marlo is pregnant." He told him.
Oliver raised an eyebrow. "She is?"
"Yep. And it might be mine."
"Might?"
Sam nodded a little. "She said when she left there was a guy they had a thing…but she won't know until the baby is born and we do a paternity test."
"You told Andy?" Oliver asked.
"She freaked." Sam admitted looking to his friend.
"Even though it's only a possibility it's yours?"
Sam sighed and nodded. "She's got it into her head that Marlo planted the bomb in the evidence room to try and kill her so I could get back with Marlo and play happy families because it was Marlo who sent her to the evidence room that day. She's blaming Marlo for the miscarriage anf the bomb."
Listening to Sam, Oliver looked to him surprised before he then sighed. "Is it a complaint she wishes to pursue? That could be messy."
Sam shook his head. "I think I've managed to talk her out of it…but she and Marlo cannot be in the same room. They've already had a major bust up. I think they will end up in an actual fight if they're in the same room." He looked to his friend. "Any chance you can move Marlo somewhere else? Just so they don't cross paths…"
Oliver listened to him before sighing a little. "Do you think Andy came back to work too early?" He asked.
Sam looked to him and gave a slight shrug. "I don't know. I thought she was ready but when she started shouting off over how it was Marlo's fault…I'm not too sure. It struck a nerve that's for sure…"
"Well that's understandable." He sighed once more. "I'll move Marlo to the squad room… hopefully she can get somewhere with her investigation. I don't want unnecessary tension." He mumbled before he sighed once more. "What's the odds the baby is yours?" He asked once more.
Sam shrugged a little. "I don't know. All I know…is that I don't want that baby to be mine. Andy's already been through so much…I can't imagine what it would do to her if the baby was mine…I know it probably sounds awful…"
Oliver sighed. "It doesn't sound awful Sam. I think after everything you two have been it's the last thing you need." He frowned and looked to her. "Where is Andy now?" He asked.
"I sent her on a pizza run."
"Oh I bet she loved you for that."
"Well I want Marlo out of that detective office before she gets back."
Oliver nodded to him. "Consider it done." He smiled to him before sighing a little. "If you need to go home don't hesitate…" He told him. "If it's too soon I'll understand."
Sam shook his head. "It'll be okay…she said she will be fine as long as she's not in the same room as Marlo."
Oliver nodded as he relaxed back in his chair. "Fine…but if anything else happens between them today I want you to take her home…if I could put her back out on the beat I would but I can't risk anything whilst her ribs are still broken."
Sam nodded. "No that's fine we won't have any more incidents."
"Make sure we don't Sammy. Now get back to work. I'll go tell Marlo she can move down into the squad room."
Sam smiled and nodded as he got up from his seat. "Thanks buddy." Heading out of the office he then smiled as he saw Andy coming in with the pizza. "Hey." He greeted as he moved his arm around her shoulder and smiled. "I've just spoken to Oliver and he's going to tell Marlo she can use the squad room to do her investigation…so until he does that how about we go stuff our faces in the lounge and I can tell you how much I love you." He mused with a smile to her.
Andy looked to him briefly before she nodded and headed to the lounge.
Heading into the lounge with Andy, Sam plonked himself down and opened the pizza box and smiled. "Hmm smells delicious." Looking to Andy he sighed. "Please eat something."
Sitting down Andy shook her head and scrunched her nose a little. "I'm not hungry."
Sam sighed. "You haven't eaten properly in days."
"Like I said. Not hungry."
Sighing Sam grabbed a slice of pizza and looked to her. "You're going to make me eat this whole pizza by myself?"
"You're the one who wanted pizza." Laughed Andy looking to him.
"This is all your fault!" Shouted Marlo as she came bursting into the lounge and glared at Andy. "Go running to your pal Oliver and now I'm stuck doing my work in the squad room!" She shouted once more, her hands going into fists.
Hearing Marlo, Andy looked to her blankly before rolling her eyes. "I didn't go to Oliver, Cruz. Sam did. Now go away I'm not in the mood."
Marlo glared to Sam before glaring back to Andy. "Yeah I wonder why he done that. Guess he had to seeing as your teacher's pet. Guess sleeping with a detective really does have its perks."
Andy got to her feet and glared back at her. "Got more perks than you ever did clearly." Andy snapped back as she glared at her. "Don't you dare come in here throwing your weight around. You are nobody here Marlo. You're not important. Now I suggest you get out of my face before I do something I regret. I've had enough of you to last me a life time. Finish your little investigation then get lost."
"More perks than me? I don't recall Sam waiting for you while you were on your little undercover mission." She snapped as she poked Andy in her vest.
"Hey!" Snapped Sam as he jumped to his feet and quickly moved Andy back and stood between them and glared to Marlo. "Don't you dare lay a finger on her. You have no right. And as for your comment? I should have waited for her. My only regret was I didn't." He told her firmly.
"Swarek, McNally, go home." Came Oliver's voice from the door.
"But…" Began Andy.
"No buts McNally. Both of you. Go home. Cruz I'll see you in my office." He told her before leaving the doorway. He had to nip this in the bud.
Andy glared at Marlo before she stormed out of the lounge.
"You are completely out of order." Sam snapped at Marlo before looking as Andy came storming back in and grabbed the pizza box. "No way in hell is she having this pizza." He grumbled before storming back out, pizza box under the arm.
Sam shook his head at Marlo before he followed Andy out. This was supposed to be a start of a new day…it was turning into a nightmare! How was he supposed to stop these two from killing each other? As far as he was concerned they couldn't even be in the same building as each other right now! Until this baby is born he could see the next few months being very difficult for all of them.
