Okay first off I must apologise on not updating recently life just seemed to have gotten in the way lately. I'll try to keep it shorter between updates. So 3x13 huh? I think it took me over 4 hours to sort out how I felt about it first I was like I can't believe she just left but then I kind of understand where she's coming from I just hope they don't come back with Sam with someone else because that would just majorly piss off Mcswarek fans. On other notes from the look of things Sam seems to be becoming a detective in season 4 and looks very good looking out of uniform. Who am I kidding though he looked good in uniform too. This chapter takes place around 3x12. Enjoy, I'm going away next week for a while so I will do my best to update before I go.

:-) Review are welcome thanks for sticking with the story.

Chapter 12:

Today was meant to be a typical day at the station Sam and Oliver had an assignment meaning that there would be no awkwardness between for one day and Andy was simply posted outside a football stadium.

Well typical had blown up in all their faces.

Chris had been held at gun point in their own booking room and a prisoner had been shot and died in an effort to save his cell mate and Chris.

Now Andy, Chris, Dov and Gail waited for their statements to be taken and the investigation to be conducted by SIU.

The sound of Sam's voice broke Andy out of her trance. Could this day possibly get any worse?

'Frank' Sam spoke hurrying up the stairs. 'Everyone alright? Diaz?' Oliver voiced from behind him.

'What can we do?' Sam said looking directly at Frank.

'Just leave them alone SIU is on their way' Frank replied before he was cut off by Sam.

'Frank their our responsibility'

'Not tonight' Frank calmly said back 'Just go home'.

Andy glanced over at him trying not to let her gaze linger when she saw him looking back at her. Andy could tell he was unhappy leaving, typical Sam always feeling like he was responsible for ever little screw up the happened when the rookies were involved.

She had called him out on the fact that he was always a T.O and that he could never turn it off during their relationship and it seems something's still hadn't changed, apart from the status of in a relationship.

Gail was right when she commented that it felt like they were on trial and Dov's reply had been correct they were and it certainly felt like it.

The SIU case officer eyes were just cold and calculating it was like the women held no sought of emotion towards the fact that a fellow officer could have been shot tonight. She just threw questions at all the rookies when they each entered the room one at a time.

As Andy sat replying to each question thrown her way she had to resist the instinct to place a hand on her tiny bump. It was instinct to shelter her baby from this women's judgmental look as the suspension and her connection with Officer Sam Swarek was brought up but Andy knew she would have to keep calm and not raise suspicion. This woman was looking to throw someone under a bus and any reason could lead to that person being her.

No she kept her hands by her sides no matter how much they were itching to move and recalled all the details from her last shift leaving out the bits concerning her helping Nick when he had come in intoxicated. Andy wasn't about to hang one of her friends out to try especially with how nice and supporting Nick had been previously about her break up. The officers of 15th division were a family and family stuck together.

Finally the interview ended leaving Andy to walk out the room still feeling the women's harsh eyes following her every move and called Chris to go he was the final rookie to go and he knew the most information as he was had a firsthand account of what happened.

Andy gave him a small smile as she wandered towards the locker room to change although she knew it wouldn't make a difference he was about to have an audience with the true ice queen.

All they could do was wait; wait for that phone call that could break up the band so to speak.

Stopping at Traci's desk after changes they conversed about going to the penny with Andy going off on a rant about the situation they all found themselves in. She was right here she was carrying her own baby and this prisoner is in the same shoes but carrying a gun around instead threatening to hurt people to get his own way.

'What type of person does that' Andy thought.

After arranging to meet Traci at the penny Andy began walking towards the exit only to round the corner and she Sam waiting out of his uniform.

Seriously this day just kept getting better.

Andy briefly met his eyes before looking away trying to keep walking and hopefully he would get the point and back off. Today was not the day to talk about what was happening.

'Hey' Sam said meeting her step for step.

'Hey' Andy answered raising her eyes to the ceiling. 'What are you still doing here?'

There was a brief pause before Sam spoke up again 'I just wanted to make sure your okay?'

'Right' Andy mumbled.

'Well that's not your job anymore' Andy said as she keep walking noticing that Sam had stopped following. It was true he may be carrying his baby which they had yet to have a proper conversation about but anything apart from the baby wasn't his concern anymore. Maybe she was being harsh but the hurt wasn't going away from the way he handled things.

She sought Nick out at the bar checking he was okay after his strange behaviour this morning. Hearing the story she understood briefly seeing Sam entering and coming up next to Nick she invited Sam to the rookie's usual table where her ginger beer sat ignoring the feeling of Sam's eyes on her back.

For now she would make small talk with her friends while they waited on the outcome of today pushing any other thoughts out of her mind.
