Still don't own Rookie Blue.

Chapter 3

Thank you guys so much for the feedback on this story! It means the world to me. Here's the third and final chapter. I really hope you guys like the way it comes together. So without further ado, here it is. Enjoy!

Andy was able to get a ride back to the station with Officer Shaw. She needed to change out of her "Edie" attire and she figured Luke might be there as well. Even though he was never supposed to be involved with the bust tonight, she knew how devoted he was to his cases, and figured he would probably stay late and help the other detectives wrap up the details.

It would sure make everything easier if he was at the station and she could talk to him there rather than having to go find him. If he wasn't at the barn she assumed he would probably be unwinding at the Penny. Either way, she had to find him tonight.

As Shaw drove them back to the barn Andy looked back on the night's events. Tonight was probably the craziest night of her life and it wasn't even over yet. In fact, it probably had only just begun.

She really just couldn't believe all that took place tonight. She had played a crucial part in the biggest drug bust in the division's history, she had almost been shot, almost lost her partner and, most importantly, she had finally confessed her feelings to Sam. She knew that telling Sam how she felt shouldn't be the most momentous part of her night, but it was. She was proud of herself for finally listening to her heart in spite of the fear in ignited in her. Now, she had to follow through. It was easy when Sam was in front of her, holding her and kissing her. Now she was alone. She had to end things with Luke. And she realized, as the pulled up to the station, she had no idea what she was going to say to him.

After Shaw parked the car, Andy got out, thanked him for the ride and headed towards the women's locker room. She decided to skip a shower. She didn't want to waste time. A shower would give her time to think about what she was about to do and she didn't want to have any reason to change her mind. She wanted Sam. She was scared to death, but she wanted to be with him. She wasn't sure what she was about to get herself into, talking to Luke and all, but wanting Sam was no longer in question.

She changed quickly into her normal clothes, packed up her things and headed in the direction of Luke's office. She was hoping he would be there. She didn't want to waste time going to the Penny if she didn't have to.

She wasn't too surprised when she rounded the corner and saw him hunched over a pile of paperwork on his desk. Of course he had come back. If there were cases to be solved, he was going to be first in line to close them.

As she got closer to his office door she began to panic. She was about to break his heart. He had no idea what was about to happen. From his perspective, everything was fine. She fought the urge to run. You have to end things if you want to be with Sam. Sam. He's who you want. Luke's a good guy and you care about him, but he's not Sam and he never will be, she encouraged herself as she pushed the door to open it.

"Andy, hey sweetheart. What are you doing here?" he looked up at her and asked in an exhausted yet surprised voice.

She just stood there. All of the sudden she was at a loss for words.

"Hey, Andy, is everything okay?" he asked with concern instead of surprise. He put his pen down and walked over to where she stood on the other side of his desk. He took one of her hands in his and pulled her towards him as he positioned himself to lean on the top of his desk.

She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. If he didn't know something was wrong before he definitely did now. You can do this. Just be honest with him. He deserves the truth, she thought as she collected herself. "No Luke. Everything's not okay," she said pulling her hand out of his and keeping full eye contact with him.

"Okay," he said puzzled. "What's going on? What happened?"

Andy took another deep breath before saying, "I…I can't be with you anymore. It's not fair to you, or me."

Luke was at a complete loss for words. He stood up and asked, "Andy, I don't understand. What happened? We were fine when I left the scene earlier."

"I know. We were, we were fine. But after you left I got to thinking and…Luke, I could have died tonight. That just made me think, made me realize that I'm done wasting time. Life is short. I don't want to be cliché, but as a cop…I can't afford to waste time doing things that don't make me happy. I'm not saying I wasn't happy with you because I have had a good time with you. But you and I aren't going to end up together. I don't see the point in drawing out the inevitable. I care about you Luke, I always will, but I can't be in this relationship anymore," she finished taking a deep breath. She could see the pain and confusion in his eyes. But she had gotten it out there. She may not have told him about what finally happened with Sam but she didn't see the need in breaking him down completely. She had already caused him enough pain.

"Does this have anything to do with Swarek?" he asked in a tone much lighter than she would have expected to hear him ask that question in. He seemed pretty calm.

So much for not talking about Sam. She wasn't going to lie to him. This had everything to do with Sam. "Luke I'm not going to lie to you, it does. But he's not the only reason I am ending things with you. I'm taking charge of my life. Doing what I want to do," she explained feeling proud of herself for the initiative she was taking.

Luke nodded as if he had already known what her answer would be. "Do you love him?" he asked trying to hide the pain in his voice.

Andy paused and remembered how just moments earlier Sam had asked her that same question about him.

"Luke…" she started but stopped. She didn't know if she could look him in the eye and tell him how she felt about Sam.

"Andy, please. Just tell me," he pleaded with her.

He deserved to know her answer. She said she was going to be honest with him. "Yes…I do," she let out in the kindest voice she could manage.

Luke shook his head in agreement. "I thought so," he said.

"What?" She asked a little bit confused.

He started to explain, "Andy, I'm not blind. I see the way you look at Swarek. You may think I don't, but I do. I see the way you are when you're around him. I have also seen the way you two interact and, yeah, it might be because you are partners, but you and I both know it's more than that. Does he make you happy?" he finished.

Andy couldn't believe how well Luke was taking this. She had just dumped him and told him it was because she has feelings for Sam, a guy he didn't exactly like. She knew he was a good man, but she didn't expect this reaction out of him at all.

She thought before she answered his question. "Yeah, he does. Or at least I think he will. I don't know yet. But I do want to find out," she finished with a half-smile in anticipation for what may come with Sam.

"Okay then," Luke said smiling at her. "Andy, I'm not mad. I'm upset. I liked being with you and I'm going to miss you, but I want you to be happy. And as painful as it is for me to say this…you're happy when you're with Sam," he finished shrugging his shoulders.

Andy couldn't help but smile up at him. She couldn't believe how well this had gone. "Thank you, Luke. For understanding, for being kind. It means a lot to me."

"I know," he said before wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into a hug.

She placed a hand on his cheek and smiled up at him before exiting his office. That was nowhere near as ugly as she thought it was going to be. She respected Luke, she knew that. But she had a new respect for him after tonight. She realized that she admired him for how he had just acted.

Andy stood outside Sam's apartment with butterflies in her stomach. She always had butterflies when she was around him, but tonight there seemed to be more of them. She knew once she knocked on his door everything was going to be different. A good different though.

She took a deep breath and knocked on the door. She didn't want to assume he had been waiting for her, but he answered the door pretty quickly.

"Hey," he said giving her his famous dimpled smile.

"Hi," she returned looking deep into his eyes.

Before he could say anything else, she stepped forward, took his face in her hands, and kissed him as if she had waited her entire life to do so.

God, did he love this woman. He couldn't tear his eyes away from hers. Never has he seen how much someone loves him just by looking in their eyes. He could see how much she loved him and he loved her just as much.

"How'd it go talking to Callaghan?" he asked.

She loved that he asked. That he cared how her conversation had gone. He could have taken her straight to the bedroom but instead he wanted to make sure she was okay. "Actually…a lot better than I thought it would. He understood," she said smiling at what she had just said.

He smiled back, "So no hard feelings then?"

Andy laughed, "With me, no. But I wouldn't invite him out to dinner anytime soon if I were you."

He laughed out loud. He definitely wasn't going to do that, ever. He could see how happy she was that things had ended on good terms with Callaghan. He didn't like the guy, but he knew this was how she wanted it to go and he was happy that she was happy.

"So…you uh…want a beer?" he asked not exactly sure what he should do next. He couldn't believe that he was finally getting what he wanted. She was here, with him. Really with him. He had dreamed about this very moment for months and it was now his reality.

She laughed and slid her arms around his neck, "No, I do not want a beer, Sam. I thought you said you weren't a patient man?" she whispered rubbing her lips against his.

And with that he pulled her hips to his and kissed her. Her mouth melted into his. He slipped his tongue in so it could dance with hers. He could feel the desperation in the kiss being returned by her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and turned her so her back was against his wall. He continued kissing her. His hands running up and down her body. Hers were doing the same, going from his lower back to his hair. They couldn't get enough of each other. They had both wanted this for so long.

He needed to feel his skin against hers. He lifted her top up over her head and threw it on the ground. He took her mouth with his again as she removed his shirt. He continued kissing her stopping every once in a while and venturing to her neck to give her a chance to catch her breath.

He picked her up and set her on his hips so each one of her legs was on either side of his body. He was done with the hallway. He wanted to make love to her, to show her how much she meant to him and he wasn't going to do that anywhere other than his bed.

She let out a soft laugh as he hoisted her onto his hips. She ran her fingers thorough his hair and kissed him deeply as he carried her to his bedroom.

When they reached the side of his bed he gently set her down and removed her bra. He couldn't believe his eyes. She was perfect. Every inch of her body was perfect. He cupped her breasts in his hands as he placed another kiss on her lips.

She smiled at the satisfaction in his eyes as his hands messaged her breasts. She let her hands drift down to his belt buckle and she unclasped it. She unbuttoned his jeans and slid them to the floor so he could step out of them.

As he got rid of his jeans he lifted her up on to him once more and placed her on his bed. She laughed again and this time he knew it was because of the feeling of his hardness against her.

As he set her head against his pillow he took her mouth in his. He continued to place kisses along her neck and slowly down the rest of her body lingering in just the right places. When he got to the tip of her underwear he gently slid it down her legs. He returned to right where he left off and placed soft kisses where she wanted him most. She parted her legs and he took her in his mouth. The taste of her was intoxicating. After he was sure he had her just where he wanted her, he slipped off his boxers. He glanced up at her, as if he needed to make sure she really wanted to do this. He got the approval he was searching for when she grabbed his face and brought him back up to her. She planted a hungry kiss on his lips that willed him inside of her. As he entered she let out a soft moan and dug her fingers into his back. He thrust back and forth, switching up the speed as he went to keep her wanting more. When he could tell that she was about to go over the edge he removed his lips from hers and whispered "I love you" which she returned along with a passionate kiss before spilling out. He followed suit and came right after she did never once breaking their kiss.

Andy lay breathless alongside of Sam. She had never felt like this before. She had never felt so satisfied in her life. She knew being with Sam would be unbelievable, but experiencing him was much different than thinking about it. She didn't know it was possible to love someone as much as she loved Sam at this moment. She wanted to feel this way every day for the rest of her life. And she would. She had found the man she was born to be with. She found her soul mate.

Sam lay catching his breath with Andy in his arms. The woman of his dreams was in his arms. She was finally lying with him in his bed. They had finished what they started and she didn't want to run. He had had a rough day, but all of that was forgotten now. As they both caught their breath he pictured what his life would be like having her in his arms at the end of every rough day.

She was the first to speak. "Wow. That uh…that was really something," she said rubbing her hand along his chest.

"Well, what did you expect? Like I said earlier tonight, McNally, I'm awesome," he laughed squeezing her closer to him.

She laughed out loud and turned so she was looking at him. "That you are, Sam. That you are," she said placing a peck on his lips.

He laughed as she laid her head against his chest and he kissed her hair. "Andy, I want you to know that I'm in this for the long haul. I want to be with you. I want to do what we just did every night for the rest of my life," he said rubbing his hand up and down her arm.

She turned to face him again and leaned on her elbow so she was eye level with him and returned, "Me too, Sam. I want you. Every day for the rest of my life. It's been you. It's been you this entire time."

Sam gave her the biggest smile she had ever seen, "So what now, McNally?"

"Let's do it again," she said as she threw her arms around his neck and pulled him into a kiss.

The end. I really hope you guys liked it! Please tell me what you think, I love hearing from you!
