Wedding day.

Andy yawned and shut off the alarm and rolled out of the bed "Andy," Traci groaned as she pulled the covers with her.

"Sorry," she giggled "I just can't believe today is finally here," without warning she flung her hand over her mouth and dashed to the bathroom.

"And so are the nerves," Traci said and rolled out of the bed, grabbing the water she had brought up from the bar last night and walked to the bathroom "are you okay?" she asked pushing the door in.

"Yeah," Andy nodded "I haven't felt right since Gail made eat that cake with her."

Traci nodded "yeah blue is not a colour I'd trust in a cake…there was rum in it I think," she added.

"Ugh, don't remind me," Andy said as she brushed her teeth.

"Do you want to go out for breakfast?" Traci asked.

Andy looked at her watch and nodded "it's only eight now the girl won't be here until ten to do our hairs….I'll just shower real quickly-fuzzy head," she said as she pushed Traci out and closed the door over "won't be long!" she called and turned on the shower.

As she heard Traci on the phone assuming to Gail and the other girls to join them Andy grabbed her make-up bag and emptied it onto the sink. Finding what she was looking for she ripped it open and sighed "here goes nothing," she said and took a deep breath.

Fifteen minutes later she was showered and dressed "damn you Sam Swarek," she said and hid her bag. Walking out she smiled seeing Gail Denise and Chloe already there "morning guys," she smiled.

"Ugh to early for another happy head," Gail groaned and pulled the covers over her head.

Chloe giggled and looked at Andy "you all excited?" she asked.

"Yeah," Andy nodded "can't wait," she said and looked out at the grey clouds "let's hope those dull clouds pass," she added.

"Don't worry we have a back up plan if it gets worse," Traci said before she could dwell on it "Noelle and Celery are meeting us in the bar when they're ready," she added.

"Sarah and Suzanne already ate in the hotel so they'll be up to see you when you're ready," Denise added.

Andy nodded "I'll just throw my hair up no point drying it," she said and grabbed her brush.

Traci walked into the bathroom "I'll be ten minutes…and don't let Gail go back asleep!" she called and closed the door-it was Andy's fault she wasn't ready she'd needed some time alone in the bathroom.

"Anyone touch me and I will bite!" Gail said in her no nonsense tone from under the covers.

Andy chuckled and pulled back the covers "you can't bite me you'll ruin my wedding photos, get up" she said and pulled the covers off the bed.

"Bitch!" Gail groaned and rolled out of the bed.

…..

As they waited for their breakfast to be brought out in a little café a few blocks from the hotel Andy turned to Traci "did you check on my baby since I'm not allowed call Sam?" she asked.

"Yes, he's fine," Traci replied "Sam said he slept for the whole night again."

"That's my boy," Andy smiled proudly, all week they had been training James to sleep through the whole night with no light on and he took to it like a duck to water. When they arrived at the hotel Sam insisted he stay in the room with him and Jerry and let Traci spend the night with Andy.

When the food arrived everyone dug in and fell into conversation with whoever was beside them Andy turned when someone tapped her shoulder "yes Chloe?" she asked

Chloe smiled "sorry Dov told me to refrain from being so excited as I'm usually very excited in the mornings but I had an espresso and I just keep rambling…sorry," she giggled "how many bridesmaid did you end up with in the end? Traci said you were having a hard time whether to ask Sam's sister or not."

Andy smiled "three," she said "and I did ask Sam's sister but she didn't want to do it, so it's Traci as maid of honour Gail and Denise."

Chloe nodded excitedly "Dov said you've known Denise for years."

Andy nodded "I do, I actually went to junior school with her before she moved to Timmons."

Chloe nodded" that's great I have no friends like that…actually I don't really have any friends at all," she giggled "so Sam has Jerry for best man Shaw and your brother is it?" she asked.

Andy nodded "that's right, Daryl was supposed to walk me down the aisle but I made up with my dad and he said he couldn't take it away from him."

Chloe nodded "okay, I'm up to speed now," she giggled and turned back to her breakfast.

"Coffee Andy?" Traci asked offering her the pot.

"No thanks," she smiled "jittery enough as it is," she said and looked down at her food.

"Wow," Gail said eyeing her "someone record this…Andy McNally is actually refusing coffee…you should get married more often," she giggled.

"Ha ha," Andy said sarcastically "I only plan on doing this the once," she smiled.

"Do you and Sammy plan on having more kids?" Noelle asked.

Andy almost choked on her water "how about we get the wedding out of the way first, then we'll see what happens tonight," she giggled trying to move it along.

"Alright finish up ladies we have half a hour before the girl from the hotel salon comes to do our hair!" Traci called over the laughter-as maid of honour she had to keep things moving.

Andy smiled over at her "thanks for being here Trac…it really means a lot."

Traci smiled back "where else would I be, my best friend is getting married…and I kinda enjoy bossing everyone about," she giggled.

An hour later Andy sat on her bed watching Denise getting her hair done, she was the last bridesmaid before it was her turn. She turned to the bathroom and gasped as Traci walked out "Trac! oh my god you look so beautiful!" she said looking at her in her royal blue one shoulder dress, it stopped just below her knees and the one strap was made from diamonds. At the start Andy thought it looked tacky until Gail suggested they all wear their hair up with those diamond hair accessories you twist in so it would take the tacky look away, in the end Andy had agreed.

Traci smiled "thanks, wait until you see Gail," she said and walked to the bed.

"Okay Andy it's your turn," the hairdresser said as Denise stood up.

Andy smiled "that side look really suits you Denise."

Denise smiled "thanks….I'm not used to having my hair up," she said and walked to the hanger her dress was on.

"Chris won't know what hit him," Traci chuckled as she sat her down to do her make-up.

After Andy's hair was done she walked into the bathroom to do her make-up before she got the girls to help her into her dress. Feeling nausea rise again she closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths "please not now," she whispered and willed it to stay down.

"You okay?" Traci asked from the doorway.

"Yeah," Andy nodded "just nerves," she said and smiled quickly.

Traci walked in and closed the door over "you sure about that?" she asked pulling the test Andy had done earlier from her bra.

"Traci!" she hissed and snatched it from her "where did you get that from?" she asked and moved to lock the door.

"I forgot my foundation then I remembered you used the same one as me, I didn't think you would mind…so you're pregnant?" she asked a grin on her face.

Andy sighed and sat on the bath "yeah," she said and looked down at the test "I had a feeling for a while now but I kept putting it off."

"Are you happy about it?" Traci asked and sat beside her "is Sam happy about it?"

Andy sighed heavily "I haven't told him yet…did it this morning before my shower."

Traci nodded and stood up "well you did tell me you both wanted more kids and you had talked about it….everything will be fine."

"Yeah," Andy blew out and stood up " I know, I just can't drink on my wedding day how am I going to get out of that?" she asked.

Traci thought for a moment "white grape juice, it's the same colour as wine and it's sparkling, I'll keep you topped up and no one will be none the wiser."

Andy smiled that was a pretty good idea "what would I do without you?" she said and hugged her

"Come on, it's dress time," Traci said and ushered her out the door.

….

The time had finally arrived to go, the photographer had been and had just left to get snaps of the boys before they left, he said he'd be back so he could get her and the girls walking down. Sam's mom and sister had stopped in along with their other friends and a few other well wishers. The bridesmaids had gone to Gail's room for a quick drink Traci making an excuse for Andy so she was all alone with her thoughts. Andy turned as the door opened and smiled as Daryl walked in "shouldn't you be getting photo's taken right about now?" she asked.

Daryl was gob smacked "wow Ands," he said and looked her up and down "you look so beautiful," he said walking to her.

Andy giggled and looked in the mirror "thanks," she said and looked at herself "you don't think the blue is a bit too much?"

"No," Daryl smiled and looked her up and down again.

She had chosen a floor length dress with a diamond encrusted bodice separated from the bottom half of the dress with a royal blue sash to match the bridesmaids as the bottom fell to the floor. The train on the dress fell behind her with it's own trail of small diamonds down the middle "you look perfect," he smiled and pulled something out of his pocket. "Mom left me this in her will…I was to give it to you on your wedding day," he said and looked down on the necklace.

Andy looked down on the necklace "I remember that," she smiled "she'd let me wear it around the house-but only in the house…it was her moms," she turned around "put it on me," she said pulling her veil to the side.

"Mom also said it was your choice to wear it or not," Daryl said.

"I have nothing on…I want to wear it," she sniffed "god I am going to kill you for making me cry," she said shakily.

Daryl chuckled and put the white pearl necklace on her "she's watching you don't forget," he whispered in her ear and took a step back "she has a front row seat," he chuckled.

Andy giggled and dabbed her eyes "I'll have to fix my make-up now," she said and turned to him "you look well in a suit you never know, it may be needed for your own wedding to one of my best friends," she giggled.

Daryl chuckled "getting ahead of ourselves aren't we?" he said and walked to the door "we're only together four months," he said and pulled the door open "I'll send dad up," he winked at her and slipped out the door.

Andy stood looking at the necklace in the mirror and fingered it, she hadn't even invited her own mother to her wedding, "I know you're here with me," she said softly and turned as the door opened.

"Ready princess?" Tommy smiled.

Andy smiled "ready," she said and walked to him.

...

Sam stood at the top of the marquee shifting from one foot to the other he was so nervous "ow!" he hissed when Jerry slapped him on the back of the head "what the hell?" he asked turning back to him.

"Stop doing the damn river dance and relax," he chuckled.

"Yeah buddy nerves will be gone the second you see her…just look at James until then," Oliver added.

Sam looked over at James as Dov bounced him on his knee while Chris and Chloe made faces at him. He was now seven months old man how he'd grown, he couldn't be prouder of the job he and Andy were doing. He looked behind him as a minister stopped in front of him "bride to be will be here any second," she smiled.

Sam nodded and turned to the others "this is boys," he chuckled and smoothed out his suit-as Andy asked he'd gotten a royal blue tie for him and the others.

He saw Traci appear and wave her hand the music started and everyone stood.

Sam's smile widened as his Niece Grace along with Frank and Noelle's daughter Olivia walked up the aisle as flower girls, once they reached the top Noelle and Sarah took them to their seats.

Next was Leo carrying the rings, when he got to Jerry he held out the cushion until he took them from him and placed them in his inside pocket. Seeing his job was done Leo gave Sam a high five and went to sit beside Chris like Traci had told him.

Next was the first bridesmaid Denise gasps and murmurs went around at how beautiful her dress was. When she got to Chris she bit on her lip and chuckled at his open mouth before taking her place at the top smiling excitedly at Sam as he nodded to her.

Next in was Gail she smiled widely as she made her way to the front, when she got there she winked at Daryl and stopped beside Denise. Looking at Sam she smiled and nodded signalling Andy was okay, Sam smiled back and nodded before looking back to the entrance.

Traci walked in beaming happily, as she got closer to Sam she gave him a pearly grin and stepped up beside Gail. She was so excited for him to find out about the baby, she gave him a nod she too signalling that Andy was okay and mouthed 'no words' before looking at the entrance.

Sam cleared his throat as Tommy appeared sucking in a sharp breath he almost choked when Andy appeared. Jerry chuckled and clapped him on the back, as she made her way to him. As his jaw hung open Andy bit on her lip she was so happy right now she wanted to burst. When she got to the top she couldn't take her eyes off him 'hey' she mouthed.

Tommy slid his hand on top of hers and tapped it as he led her to Sam "you look after my daughter Swarek," he said and handed her off.

Sam shook his hand "always Tommy I promise you that," he said and turned to Andy "babe you look absolutely stunning," he said as they stepped up to the minister.

Andy smiled "you too," she said and ran her hand over his tie "blue really is your colour," she smiled and turned her attention to the minister.

"Hello everyone I am June, welcome," she smiled "we are gathered here today on this beautiful day to join Andy and Sam on their special day, I would like to start with a small prayer….the good luck prayer I call it," she said and looked down at her book and began to read.

As the service moved along it was time for their own vows which they had opted to write themselves. Sam turned to Andy and took both her hands in his "this woman here everyone," he smiled "stole my heart the day I met her…for those of you who don't know, she tackled me in an alleyway tired to kiss me then accused me off being a drug dealer," her chuckled. "With my charm I managed to talk her into letting me go, she wasn't having any of it at first until I had to tell her I was an undercover cop from her division," he chuckled again. "Since that day she is all I thought about I couldn't get her off my mind so I tracked down her address and went to see her…not my smartest move but if I didn't we wouldn't be here today, neither would our beautiful son," he said glancing at James.

Getting more serious he turned to Andy "Andy you are my world my life my everything I love you more than life itself. I will never love anyone as much as I love you and our son, you have made me whole, you've been there for me whenever I needed you-even if I didn't want you there. We've survived everything that was thrown at us and came out better people, without you I couldn't have done any of it and I will be forever grateful to you for that," he said and wiped a tear from her face as it fell.

"I love you with all my heart Andy and that will never end, you make me a better person and I hope the rest of our life is just as good as it is right now," he smiled and took a step closer to her. "You just being in my life is the reason I still breathe…I couldn't imagine my life without you in it," he whispered.

Andy bit her lip as the tears fell freely "just give me a minute," she giggled and took a few deeps breaths. As soon as she thought she could go on she turned back to him and slid her hands back into his "for anyone wanting to know the real story on how we met," she smirked "when I caught up with him and tackled him he said to me I was beautiful then asked me did he say that out loud," she giggled. "Well Sam those were the words that got me, I spent the whole day thinking about you then you just turned up on my door.

"I had fallen in that alleyway and he called to see me to make sure I was okay, he was so caring and examined my cuts and bruises. When he left he did the best thing that ever happened to me," she smiled again "he left then knocked two seconds later and kissed me, that was the day my life changed."

Sam wiped another tear and smile back at her "we've been through so much together good and bad but we're here-we made it. You're my best friend you know me inside out, I couldn't think of anyone I'd rather take this ride with. You are the reason I get up in the mornings, when I'm not with you you're the only thing that's on my mind. I feel safe with you and that's something I haven't felt in a long time, you all know my mom took off when I was a kid but you Sam filled that emptiness inside me, you took all the pain away you helped me see that life does have meaning it is worth living and god has a plan for everyone and his plan for me was to send you….I love you so much," she said and took a step closer to him.

"Without you my beautiful son wouldn't be here I wouldn't be half the person am I now I wouldn't be anything but thanks to you I am," she smiled. "I have found someone to love me-even with all my flaws and craziness," she giggled "so I just want to thank you for everything you've ever done for me, you're my life Sam and you always will be I love you with everything I have and I'm gonna spend the rest of my life showing you just how much," she sniffed.

Sam smiled and wiped her tears "if I knew you were gonna be such a girl about it I would have just gone for the I do's," he chuckled.

Andy giggled and turned to the minister "please get that line out of the way."

The minister smiled and nodded "if anyone here knows why these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace!" she called and let it bounce around for a few second "always a tense moment that," she whispered. Opening her book she looked down "Sam please repeat after me. I Samuel James Swarek, take you Andrea, to be my lawful wedded wife."

Andy's head snapped to him "your middle name is James?" she gasped.

Sam chuckled and shook his head "I Samuel James Swarek, take you Andrea, to be my lawful wedded wife."

"To have and to hold, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, for as long as we both shall live."

Sam took the ring from Jerry and turned back to her "to have and to hold, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, for as long as we both shall live," he said as he slid the ring up her finger.

"Now Andy please repeat after me, I Andrea Lucy McNally, take you Samuel to be my lawful wedded husband.

"I Andrea Lucy McNally, take you Samuel to be my lawful wedded husband."

"To have and to hold, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, for as long as we both shall live."

Andy turned and took his ring from Traci and turned back to him "to have and to hold, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, for as long as we both shall live," she said as she slid his ring up his finger.

The minister blessed their rings and smiled down at them "you may now kiss your bride," she said.

Sam slid his hand around her waist and pulled her to him "best part of this whole thing," he said and kissed her deeply.

Andy flung her hands around his neck and deepened the kiss she couldn't believe she was finally married.

"Ladies and gentlemen I give you for the first time, Mr and Mrs Swarek!" the minister yelled and started to clap, everyone joined in and stood up.

Andy giggled when Traci nudged her to stop kissing she turned and squealed excitedly as she, Denise and Gail closed in on her.

On the other side Sam shook hands with Jerry Ollie and Daryl before they swapped sides and he hugged the girls.

When Andy had hugged the boys Sam pulled her to him "now if you'll all join me and my beautiful wife in the bar, it's party time!" he yelled and started to walk down the aisle with Andy-taking James from Chris as they passed.

Later that day-Jerry stood up with a mic and tapped his glass "alright everyone let's get this speech out of the way," he chuckled. "Sammy my man," he said and shook his head "never in a million years did we ever thing you'd marry…until we met Andy that was. She has changed him folks and for the better too, not so many people are afraid of him anymore," Jerry paused as laughter went around. "when I found out about Andy and Sammy I flipped-not because they were together because they were sneaking around," he said and turned to Sam "I never saw anyone mope as much as she did when we asked her to stay away from you until you were home those two weeks dragged," he groaned "but Andy being Andy she picked herself up and got on with it. We looked after her for you Sammy now you have to return the favour."

Jerry rambled on for another while thanking everyone for coming and who had made the day possible he'd even mentioned how good the bridesmaids looked. Another ten minutes later her picked up his glass "may you two have the perfect life-no one deserves it more than you two, never go to bed angry, always say I love you and most important never stopping loving one another….to Andy and Sammy!" he yelled.

After dinner and desert Andy and Sam parted to spend time with their friends and moving from table to table. When Andy finally made it to the bar she leaned on it and smiled as the barman winked at her and slid her a wine glass "thank you," she said and turned to see Traci smiling at her giving her a nod to let her know it was just juice. Nodding back she turned to the side as Sam leaned on the bar beside her "baby," she greeted.

"Hello beautiful wife," he said and kissed her "you having a good day," he asked and wrapped his arms around her.

Andy nodded and leaned back into him "the perfect day," she said and placed her hand on his "you?" she asked.

Sam nodded and kissed her neck "I don't want it to end," he said and rested his chin on her shoulder "do you want to dance?" he asked.

"Not yet," Andy replied and leaned further into him "my feet are killing me and this dress adds an extra two stone."

Sam chuckled and pulled away from her "come on then," he said and led her to a table "let's give you a rest."

"Where's James?" she asked as she sat down.

"With mom and Sarah don't worry he's fine with them," Sam replied and kissed her quickly.

Andy nodded "I know I just don't want them to take him up without saying goodnight... and why did I only find out through our vows that your middle name is James?" she asked.

"I already told them to bring him over before they take him up," Sam replied "and I thought you knew my name."

"Hey Sam!" Andy called as he accepted a beer from Chris "please don't get too drunk yet…I really need to talk to you about something," she said nervously.

Sam placed his beer down and walked to her "is something wrong babe?" he asked crouching down in front of her.

Andy stood up as Chloe and Gail made their was to her "not now, later," she said and kissed him "but don't worry," she said and walked by him.

A while later Sam couldn't take it anymore. Walking around he looked everywhere for Andy until he found Traci out in the hallway "Nash have you seen Andy?" he asked.

"She just went into the bathroom," Traci replied and brought Leo back inside.

"Thanks!" Sam called and walked to the ladies, leaning on the wall he started to think what could be wrong.

When Andy finally emerged he pushed himself off the wall "at last, what have you been doing in there? I've been here for ten minutes," he said.

Andy was still a bit dizzy from throwing up again "I uh got talking," she said and wiped her mouth.

Sam noticed her watery eyes "were you crying?" he asked worried and took another step to her "babe what's wrong?"

"I wasn't crying," she said and wiped the side of her eyes.

"Then what is it?" he asked "you have me worried now."

Andy smiled as two guests passed them "not here," she said and took his hand "we're going to our room," she said and tugged him to the elevator.

When they got to the room Andy closed the door and leaned against it "so?" Sam asked and sat on the bed.

Andy bit her lip nervously and walked to the bathroom grabbing the stick she walked back to him with it behind her back. Stopping in front of him she smiled as he pulled her down onto his lap "member the night of James's christening?" she asked moving her hands so they were around his neck.

"Yeah," he said and kissed her arm "what about it?"

"Member you said let's get working on baby number two?" she asked getting move nervous what if he had just said that to keep her happy?

"Yeah," Sam said slowly and looked up at her.

"Well," Andy said and pulled the stick around to his face "say hello to baby number two….you're going to be a daddy again."

Sam's hands immediately went to her stomach as he stared at the stick "wow," he said and took it from her "you never said you thought you were," he smiled as he stared at the two lines.

"I didn't want to ruin today," she said "I only did it this morning, I never even thought about it with everything I had going on."

Sam dropped the stick and brought his hand back to her stomach "so you're four months?" he asked as he rubbed up and down.

Andy nodded "I think so…I mean we have had sex since but I'm really sure it was that night…you happy?" she asked.

Sam nodded "I am," he said and looked up at her "we're having a baby," he said and ran his hand up to her cheek "you have just given me the best preset ever," he said and pulled her down to kiss her "you're so amazing," he said and hugged her tight.

Andy wrapped her arms around him and kissed his neck as she held him close "I love you, you know," she said and kissed his neck again.

Sam pulled her back "I love you too, so much babe," he said and kissed her sweetly and nudged her up "hang on," he said as if remembering something "you were drinking all day," he said and looked at her "why, if you knew?"

"I wasn't," Andy smiled "it was just sparkling juice….Traci's idea," she added.

"Nash knew?" he asked.

"Yes, but I promise I didn't want to tell her I didn't want anyone to know before you she went looking for something in my make-up bag and found it….I'm sorry," she said and bit her lip.

Sam pulled her back to him "don't worry about it I know she's your best mate," he said and pulled her into him "how about we get James and call it a night?" he asked.

"No," Andy chuckled "it's our wedding night, how about we go say goodnight to him and come back here…I might have a sexy little surprise for you under this," she said pulling her dress up a little.

"Ten minutes and we're outta there," Sam said and pulled her out the door.

…..

An hour later Andy giggled as Sam backed her up against the door and kissed her hard while he fiddled with the key.

"Yeah you laugh McNally, you weren't the one dragged to the dance floor by your aunt," he mumbled as he finally got the door open. Pulling her inside he closed the door and backed her to the bed.

"Yeah well I did get roped into throwing my flowers….did you see Dov's face," she giggled "Chloe was so excited.

"Less talk about your friends," Sam mumbled as he kissed her, gently pushing her onto the bed he climbed onto it and crawled up beside her "I believe you said you had something for me," he said and ran his hand up her leg and kissed her softly.

"I just gave you a baby what more do you want?" she giggled.

"Just you," he said and climbed on her "do you want to take the dress off?" he asked.

Andy looked up at him "hm….no," she said and pulled him down to her "let's have some fun first," she said and kissed him deeply.

Sam pulled back and looked down on her "I can't believe you're mine," he smiled and stroked her cheek "I'd do anything for you Andy you know that."

Andy smiled and leaned up on her elbows "you always had me…from that second I rolled you over I was yours."

Sam smiled and lowered his head "I am so glad I said that out loud that day, and you get more beautiful by the day."

"Hey Sam," she whispered and brushed her lips against his.

"Mh?" he asked lost in her.

"See ya round," she giggled.

Sam chuckled "see ya round babe….not that you'll ever be going anywhere."

"No I won't," Andy replied and pulled him down to her, kissing him hard planning on enjoying her wedding night to the fullest-her life was complete now.

A/N so that's that….not great at weddings hope that was okay, thanks for reading and sticking with me. Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.
