Baby girl coming soon!
Several days later, Andy was completely moved in, everything was there but besides that nothing was where it should be. To say the least her place was a disaster. Boxes everywhere unassembled furniture scattered all around her apartment and just like her place Andy's mind was jumbled up. There was so much that needed to be done that she was way too stressed out and going insane.
Everyone was kind enough to help Andy move into her place. Tracy was an absolute queen at packing, labeling and just knowing where everything should go. Andy was grateful that all her 15 friends stopped by at one point to help. Sam and Oliver packed everything into Sam's truck and drove over to Andy's new place. It took several trips and a lot of muscle but luckily they both had it all done by the end of the day. Sam stayed behind after Oliver left to set up Andy's bed so she would have a comfortable place to sleep. A pregnant woman sleeping on the floor could not be comfortable.
Andy rubbed her belly as she bent over to grab some dishware from a box. Andy was tired. Extremely tired, but she wanted things done as soon as possible. Nesting was nothing compared to what she was doing at the moment.
Sam was getting off shift so he called Andy to make sure she was talking thing slow and he was on his way. Andy was relieved that Sam was going to go over.
"Hey Andy." Sam exclaimed as he walked into her apartment, her door was wide opened which kind of concerned Sam, Andy was cautious. She was a cop so she knew every possible danger.
"Sam I'm in the nursery" Sam was relieved. As he walked in the room Andy was sitting on the floor with her big belly and unpacking a box with baby girl clothes.
"Brought you lunch." Sam placed the bag of food on the table by the window.
"Thank you."
Sam immediately got started on setting up the crib. It was a lot easier than Sam thought it was going to be. Thank goodness it wasn't as hard as people always made it out to be. Andy love the crib they picked out it was very royal looking, it had amazing carved detail and perfect for their baby.
Sam watched as Andy gracefully ran her hand across the crib. His heart melted. He was more than ecstatic to be having a daughter very soon, and with Andy as her mother he could not be happier. He just knew Andy would make the best mom ever. She was caring, and could love with so much passion and more importantly fearless, fearless enough to be a mom and be the best mom she could ever be.
"You should slow down a little bit" Sam suggested since he got there Andy was in unpacking mode. Everything needed to have a space in the room.
"when im done, then ill rest." Andy replied
"Andy" Sam said firmly glaring at her
Andy knew exactly what he wanted her to do. So she sat in the rocking chair, the room was simultaneously filled with a crunch noise from the plastic wrap that the chair was still protected by.
"I'm fat" Andy said laughing
Sam giggled as well, "You're not fat, you're pregnant."
"I'm fat because I'm pregnant" Andy joked back, Sam could not contain his laughter. Andy was always good with smart ass responses.
About three hours had passed by and Sam and Andy had finally finished everything they could have possibly done in the nursery. The only thing left was to paint, which would have to be done when Andy wasn't home.
Sam checked his phone and saw he had a missed call from Marlo and a few text messages. They were supposed to have dinner at her place and talk about the inevitable. Andy and baby Avery.
Sam quickly sent her a message letting her know that he would be there and couldn't wait for her delicious cooking. Sam loved absolutely loved Marlo's cooking, she definitely knew how to prepare a meal to make a man's mouth water.
Shortly after seven Sam was getting ready to leave Andy's place. "You leaving now?" andy asked
"Yeah I'm going to get going."
"You don't want to stay for dinner?" Andy offered.
"I have dinner plans already." Sam replied. He tried to avoid bringing up his girlfriend Marlo in front of Andy as much as possible.
Andy shook her head, she knew what Sam meant and she couldn't possibly be mad, she was just having his baby but Marlo and Sam were dating, and there was nothing she could do to stop it or change it. She just had to deal with it.
After a shower and getting ready Sam was on the front step of Marlo's house. He could already smell the delicious garlic bread. He couldn't wait to see what else she had cooking.
'Hey sweetheart" Marlo greeted Sam when she opened the door, Sam kissed her lightly on the lips.
Sam was elated when he saw everything that Marlo had cooked and prepared for him. Her
"This all smells delicious Marlo."
Marlo loved that Sam appreciated everything that she did for him.
After a nice long dinner Sam asked Marlo is she was ready to talk about the inevitable.
Marlo was hesitant although she asked Sam over for dinner to talk she was slowly regretting it. She didn't think she could handle what Sam was going to tell her. She was ready for anything.
"We both know by now that Andy is going to be a big part of our lives and I just want you to know that regardless of the situation I want us to stay strong and not let the little things get in between us" Sam said he wasn't really making much sense but he was nervous.
"Okay. We can definitely do that. I know the dynamic between us is going to change once your daughter is born and I'm terrified that we won't have time for each other but I'm willing to work it out."
Sam was glad to hear Marlo understood that things were going to change for them as well.
"Have you and Andy figured out what you two are going to do when the baby comes?"
"I'm assuming she'll call me when it's time. I don't know if I'll be in the delivery room with her though."
Marlo nodded she understood where Andy was coming from, but she did hope that she let Sam in the delivery room.
"Hey what happened a couple days ago, I was calling you and went over to your place to check on you and you weren't there?"
Sam froze he didn't know if lying was the right thing to do "I was over at Andy's place and fell asleep there"
As soon as Sam said that he slept over at Andy's place he could instantly see that Marlo's demeanor changed. She was mad, pissed, infuriated to say the least but she was good at hiding it.
"Are you upset?" Sam asked so naïve to the fact that you never ask a mad woman if she's mad. Never. It's the rule of common sense. Right?
"No. she's having your baby so there's not much else I could be mad at."
She was pissed.
Sam just let it go, he didn't want to upset her anymore.
They continued talking about Sam's baby and catching up, before Sam went home to sleep before tomorrows long shift.
