So I'm going to rant a little. So here in the south week go a snow storm! And I slide backward down hill 50 feet in my car!
First of many this week!
So yes Sam's going to pop the question as everyone figured out!
As soon as Sam got off the phone with Nick a nurse came into his room to get some blood for his tests.
Sam nervously cleared his throat to get the nurses attention. When he had it he asked her "Can you do me a favor later?"
The nurse raised an eye as his question. "That depends."
"When my wife comes back in. We will have some visitors coming also but I need her to out of the room for at least ten minutes. Can you get her out of the room?"
"Okay one." She said taking the needle out of his arm. "We both know she isn't your wife." Now she was sticking a band-aid with a tuft of gauze on it over the puncture wound on his arm.
"Not yet anyways. But I will do this if you tell me why you want me too." She said collecting the tubes of blood and putting them into her cooler box for the lab.
"I-I'm going to propose." He told his young nurse who was now writing in his chart.
She raised an eyebrow at him. "Here? At the hospital? That's so romantic."
"Being shot scared the shit out of me. It made me want things I've never had with her. Not like the life we used to have years ago. A new one. She's all I've ever wanted."
The Young nurse could see love in his eyes talking about Andy. "Okay I'll do it. But I want to know how your story ends afterwards okay?"
"It's a long complicated one."
"Good my shift is over in two hours I'll bring some real food." She said with a cheeky smile.
Sam chuckled at the young nurse. "Deal."
Fifteen minutes later Andy, Nick and Fiona entered Sam's hospital room.
"Look who I founded out in the lobby." Andy said. "And they bring gifts." She said pointing to the bag in Nick's hand that he was holding with a deathly grip.
"Yeah I asked them to swing by my apartment to pick up a few things on the way here."
Andy walked over to the chair closest to Sam's bed. " I could have gone to get it."
Sam grabbed her hand. "It's a mess right now with boxes. Nick knows where everything is since he's came down to help me pack with the move."
Andy smiled "Okay."
Then the nurse showed up. "Mrs. Swarek. I have some papers for you to fill out." She said with a smile.
Andy groaned and gave Sam a pointed look. She got up and kissed him quickly. "I'll be back."
"Okay Mrs. Swarek." He said with a wink.
As soon as the she left the room Sam turned to Nick. "Did you bring it?"
Nick pulled a box out of the bag and handed him a box that's wrapped. "Are you sure it's time?"
Sam snapped his head up at him. "When you almost die and you see your life flash before your eyes, then you tell me when the time is."
Nick put his hands up in surrender "Okay okay."
Sam sighed and put the box in under the covers. "Thank you for getting it for me."
Nick was about to reply but Andy walked in. "Stupid paper work." She muttered under her breath as she made it in the door.
"I thought you loved paper work." Sam winked at her.
"Only yours" She said coming to sit on the bed with him. Sam gave Nick and Fiona a shy smile asking them to leave.
"Okay well, we are going to get some food. We'll be back later." Fiona said coming to give her uncle a hug.
Minutes later they were alone again.
Andy turned to Sam. "Do you need anything? Some real food?"
"Nah, I have some coming soon." He told her with one hand on hers and the other on the box.
"Oh you do?" Andy said raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah I made a deal with a nurse." He told her clearing his throat as he began getting nervous.
"Oh yeah and what is that?" Andy asked with a teasing eye brow raised.
"To tell her a story."
"About?"
"About a Rookie and her TO." Sam told her winking at her.
"Sounds interesting."
"Oh it is." He told her kissing her hand.
"So I have something for you."
"And what is that?"
"I know your birthday is coming up. But right now it just seems like a good time."
"It seemed like a good time to give me my birthday present early? A month early?" Andy giggled out.
"Yeah it does." He said taking a deep breath and pulling the box out form under the covers.
"Sam, it's too much." Taking the box from him Andy spoke before even opening it. Any gift was always too much to her.
Sam moved over on the bed so she could get on it sitting next to him.
Once she was settled Sam put his arm around her. "Nothing is too much when it's you." He told her kissing her forehead. "Now open it."
Andy ripped off the wrapping paper and found a wooden box that had 'our promises' carved onto the lid. She ran her figures over it. "Sam?"
"Open it." He nudged her gently.
Which she did. She found a picture of a house that Sam was looking at a few months ago; A picture of a dog; a smaller box and an envelope.
She opened the envelope first. She found the deed to the house in the picture with her name on it. She also found adoption papers that matched the picture of the dog with the name 'Boo'.
"Sam?" She said looking up at him for an explanation.
"The house we looked at the last time I was up in Toronto. I saw it your eyes you loved it. And Boo is the promise I made years ago."
"Really?" She mumbled as the tears started coming to her eyes "It's perfect."
"You still have one more." He said pointing at the smaller box.
She gave him a quick kiss before grabbing the smaller box and opening it.
She gasp and dropped it back into the bigger box and covered her mouth.
"I know we haven't been back together that long but I almost lost you. When I took the bullet all I could see my future life flash before my eyes. I was scared I would never have it. But most of all I want you to be 'Mrs. Swarek.' " he nervously cleared his throat. "So Andrea McNally," he paused to look at her after he called her by her real name. "Will you make me the happiest man alive and become my wife?" He asked her taking the ring out.
All Andy could do was nod her head afraid her voice would betray her.
"Yeah?" Sam asked popping his dimples out. She nodded her head again as Sam was sliding the ring on her finger.
Andy got up and straddled him cautious of his wound, and cupped his face.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! A million times Yes!" She said kissing him.
Just as Sam was about to deepen the kiss there was a knock on the door.
"Okay, so I grabbed a few burgers from the joint down the road. Now let's hear this story." The young nurse said coming into the room not minding that Andy was straddling Sam.
Okay what do you guys think!
