Chapter 3: The Wait is Over!
2 months later…
They had finally set a date for their wedding. It was going to be the weekend before Christmas so they could have the whole week of Christmas off to spend together. Christmas Eve and Day would be spent with their families, but the rest of the time was all theirs. Their wedding was just about a month away and Andy was excited! They had moved in together a week after their engagement and they were truly happy with one another. They weren't sure if she was pregnant or not, and Andy had mixed feelings about it. On one hand she was excited about the idea of having Sam's baby, but on the other, she really wanted to be married first, and she was afraid of becoming her mom.
Sam had tried to reassure her that no matter what they would be happy, but she could tell he really wanted her to be pregnant. He'd told her over and over what a good mom she would be, and she was starting to get used to the idea. They were both currently working day shift and they had developed a routine. Sam would let Andy start getting ready while he fixed breakfast. If he got up early enough he could sometimes join her while she was still in the shower. Lately though, Andy complained of constantly being tired and wanting to sleep more, so they usually ended up rushed.
Andy had the day off, and Sam decided to make her her favorite omelet and bring it to her in bed. He had to go in to work to wrap up some paperwork from yesterday, but after that he was coming home to spend the day with Andy. He sat the food down on the bedside table and crawled back into bed beside her. "Morning Sleepyhead," he kissed her has he said this. She rolled over and looked at him with a small smile. She loved waking up with him every morning.
She felt sick so she bolted out of bed and ran for the bathroom. This was the second time this week, and she was beginning to wonder if she had caught the flu. Sam followed and held her hair out the way while she was sick. He handed her a cold washcloth once she was done and went to get her some sprite.
"Andy, are you okay?" "I think so." "Honey, do you think…?" He couldn't finish his thought because they both had tried to avoiding thinking it could be true. They both wanted kids, so they would be happy if she was pregnant, but he knew Andy sort of wanted to be married first. They still had a month until the wedding, and he knew they couldn't wait until then to find out. "Sam… I just… I don't know." He pulled her in tight for a hug. "I can pick up a test on my way home if you want me to." She simply nodded.
He picked her up and carried her back to the bed. Once she was settled, he placed a kiss on the top of her forehead. "Go back to sleep babe. If you don't feel better while I'm gone just call and I'll come right home." She smiled and nodded at him. "I'll be fine. Go finish that paperwork you love so much." He chuckled and gave a kiss then headed to work.
A few hours later…
"Sam, I'm scared." "I know, honey, me too. But if there is a baby in here," he placed his hand over her stomach, "I'll be ecstatic! I never thought I would have kids until I met you, but once I met you I realized you were the only person I wanted kids with." He hugged her tight. He could feel tears wetting his shirt. "Andy, listen to me. You ARE NOT your mom. You are going to be the best mom our kids could ever have. Now go take the test so we can go eat lunch and end all this uncertainty." She nodded and pulled away from him.
She came out of the bathroom a few minutes later. "Well?" "It says we have to wait like five minutes." "Okay then, let's go eat lunch and then we'll come back later." He led her to the kitchen and got out the food from the diner he had picked up on his way. He got them both soup because he wasn't sure how she was feeling and he hoped it would help her feel mostly better. After they finished eating they went to watch TV. Andy was thinking of the test. She wanted to know but at the same time she didn't. What if she turned out just like her mother? She never wanted to be like that, but what if it was generic? All these thoughts were rushing through her mind and Sam could tell she was over thinking things.
"If it makes you feel better I'll go look at it," he whispered to her. "You are nothing like your mother, so you have no worries. We're in this together either way. We will be okay!" "I know; I'm just scared." He pulled her in for a hug. "Stay right here I'll go look." She nodded.
Sam walked to the bathroom and got the test off the sink. He was surprised. He carried back to the living room. "Well?" Andy asked. Sam turned the test stick around to her. Tears filled her eyes. "Oh, Sam." "It's okay honey I promise." "Sam, we're going to be parents." "Yes, yes we are and you know what. I'm extremely happy about it. Sure the timing is a little off but it will be fine. We will be fine. Just think we'll have a little McNally running around before long." That got a laugh out of her which is what he was hoping for. "We will be okay." He pulled her in for a hug and he kissed her. He felt her smile against his lips.
A/N: Again, I am so sorry for the wait. Like I said I am on break now so hopefully I can update more. I was originally going to leave it as a cliffhanger on whether she was pregnant or not but since I made you wait so long I figured I would just go ahead with it. I know some probably wanted them to be married first, and in a way I did too, but at the same time, I was ready to write a story with a McSwarek baby. So hope you enjoyed & next chapter should be out soon!
