"I haven't spent the night in a couple of weeks. Brought a Malbec. I was hoping you could read the label to me in Spanish. Uh, okay, I'm in your kitchen now, so I'm gonna hang up." Andy said with a bottle of wine on the phone to Sam as she walked through Sam's door. "Hey, Sam, you upstairs?" Andy said walking into Sam's bedroom when she saw Marlo sleeping "Hey. I thought you were upstairs." Andy asked Sam as he came in from the front door with the baby "Uh, Marlo showed up a few hours ago. She's completely exhausted. This little frog has been, you know, crying all day long, so I've been doing laps around the block to try to calm her down." Sam explained to her "I tried to call you first." Andy answered.
"It's Thursday." Sam replied "Uh I-I completely lost track. It's okay. You know what? You got a lot on your plate right now. Maybe you can share this with Marlo when she wakes up. That would be nice." Andy said to Sam placing the bottle of wine on the counter "She had no place else to take the baby. She's got to get some sleep" Sam convinced Andy "So, you know, we don't want her to not sleep. We're all trying to figure this out together, remember?" Sam reminded her "Yeah. Yeah. How could I forget?" Andy said to him as she was upset "Andy. Andy, come on. I'm sorry." Sam said as she walked pass him "Good night." She said with her back to his face walking out of the door "Please." Sam said as she closed the door.
Andy was sat at the bar after she just left Sam's place and then Juliet walked through the door seeing Andy and walking up to the bar where she said "Excuse me. Can I grab a beer?" To the bar tender "I thought you were supposed to be in Vancouver." Andy said to Juliet "Not till tomorrow. I have to testify at Steve peck's hearing" Juliet replied "Lucky you get away from all this drama. Someone you can flaunt you know" Andy said to her "Andy, you're probably never gonna see me again Like the other toys? So, thank you I mean, if you want to talk" Juliet was explaining to Andy as she was cut off by the words "We had plans Sam and I. Not not just for tonight. I mean for our life. We're getting married. How am I supposed to marry him in the middle of all this? A-another thing I'm really confused about is Marlo. Like, right from the beginning, she had planned to do this on her own.mSo, what, she has no other backup plan other than Sam?" Andy said.
"Ahh Excuse me. Can you top her up? Well, have you talked to Sam about it?" Juliet asked "And say what? [ Liquid pouring ] What can he do? Ahh I just wish I could fast-forward through all this, you know?" Andy replied to Juliet "You know, Andy, I'm organizing a new U.C. Operation in Vancouver. It's five months, and I could use an operative that's unknown in the city." Juliet offered it to Andy "Yeah, well, I promised Sam that I would stick by him." Andy replied to her "Think of it as hitting pause till the dust settles. It might be good. Think about it" Juliet asked her.

It was the morning after and everyone was at work.
"Don't worry. I'm just taking it off for work." Andy said as she could hear Sam come in the locker room as she was taking off her Engagement ring "Okay. How are you?" Sam asked her as she turned around looking at him "Other than the bomb that Jarvis dropped on us, I guess I'm doing pretty great." She said "Yeah, Oliver called me. He's, uh, working booking today. He hasn't worked booking since, uh, I had long hair and a mustache. Hmm. I'm I'm really sorry about last night, okay? It was late. I was tired. I wasn't thinking." Sam explained to Andy "Oh, I know. I know. I know. It's much deeper than that. Okay. Last night, I came over And I interrupted a family one that I have no part of. The fact is, Sam, the life that I wanted with you, you're actually having with somebody else. And there's nothing I can do about it." Andy said to Sam chocking up.
"Uh, I don't think that's right. Uh, the life that you and I want, I-I'm not having with anyone else, okay?" Sam said to Andy "Well, it feels like it." Andy replied back to Sam "You and I are gonna have the life that we want together. We will have that, but we got to stick together and figure it out, like we promised." Sam explained "Figure what How do you want to actually do that, practically? I don't know, but this is it. Here we are, we we're working it out. Yeah, but we're not working it out 'cause it's not working for me." Andy said "Okay, then how can we make it work for you?" Sam added "Look, Sam, I have an opportunity." Andy pushed in "What?" Sam asked "Juliet offered me a U.C. gig in Vancouver. Only be about five months. You know, maybe I should take off and, uh, just press pause on this for a little bit." Andy explained.
"You said you promised you weren't gonna do that anymore." Sam said to Andy angrily "I'm only bringing this up because I feel like You might be able to get a handle on being a new father, and I would have space to clear my head." Andy asked Sam "Call it what you want. That's not what this is. This is Andy McNally running away one more time." Sam said to her "I'm not running." Andy tried to squeeze in there "I guess I should have seen that coming, right? Should I have seen that coming? All right, I've got some work to do, so I'm just gonna go and do that, okay?" Sam said shouting "Yeah, you should go do it." Andy shouted back.
"Aah! Sam. Sam! You got to go easy on this baby, all right?" Oliver said while coming around the corner as he saw Sam kicking the vending machine "I'm a reasonable man. Am I not?" Sam asked Oliver "Uh Yeah, um I tell them, Sam Swarek, he loves his salt and vinegar. You got to go heavy on those things. You know, two rows at least." Oliver said to Sam "You stick together even through the difficult times, right?" Sam asked his Bro

"Yeah. That's that's the plan, right, in theory, but there's gonna be there's gonna be transfers. There's gonna be the odd new division, new platoons. You know, I just I keep telling myself, we'll always have the Penny." Oliver said "Well, you can't show up at the Penny if you're working in Vancouver." Sam answered back to "None of us are going to Vancouver." Oliver mentioned "Not us. McNally. Ward offered her a U.C. gig.In Vancouver?" Sam replied "Have you you guys talked about this?" Oliver asked "Yes." Sam quickly replied "Like really talked about it?" Oliver asked again.
"Yeah, I-I talked with her" Sam answered "Okay, and?" Oliver asked him "And it didn't make any difference. She is really, really upset about the whole Marlo and the baby thing, and apparently, I've missed how upset she is." Sam explained it to Oliver "Wait. Okay. Listen, buddy. When my kids were born, first few weeks, I didn't I-I barely noticed if I was wearing pants. Okay, that stuff Andy McNally loves you. And if she goes You guys the you she you can, um I don't I don't know. I don't know." Oliver said giving a little advise "That's it? Okay, thanks, pal. Thanks for the good talk." Sam said walking off.
After a long case and news fired out to the team about a new division emotions were running high through everyone. And with Steve going to jail it was a big and long day.
"Thought I'd come by. You can take some more shots at me in case you didn't get your fill today." Andy said coming home to Sam's place What time's your flight?" Sam said sitting on the couch with a bear "Don't have a flight." Andy replied "Oh, yeah? Taking a train to Vancouver?" Sam eminently replied to Andy "I'm not taking the train. Look, I only told you about the offer to give you an out." Andy explained to him "Giving me an out. I don't want an out. I never did, okay? I also don't want you to feel like crap, but apparently there's nothing I can do about that." Sam said as he put his bear on the counter and coming face to face with his fiancé
"Well, maybe we should stop talking, you know?" Andy asked him "No, no, no, I'm happy to talk, okay? But I'm not gonna talk to your back as you're running out the door." Sam said to her "Clearly, I'm not running out the door." Andy said softly to Sam "Okay, well, talk then. You talk." Sam said to Andy "No, you talk!" Andy replied
"Okay. The only reason I ever thought I could be a dad in the first place is because of you. Being with you has changed me. I'm a better man Which means I might actually be able to be the dad I never thought I could be. And I want to show that to you. I want to be that With you. So please don't go away again, not for five months or five minutes, okay?" Sam explained to Andy as he started chocking up with his eyes wearing up "I can't hold you close, And I can't have you here Sam I just Or let you go Miss you. Or keep you here And I can't change a thing but I don't know how to say that to you without feeling like I'm asking you to choose between me and your family. And I can't change your mind Or save the day or go back in time. Andy said back to Sam "Andy McNally, you are my family, okay? I love that baby." Sam said to Andy stepping closer to her "So do I." Andy said with a tear running down her face
"Yeah, well, I love that baby so much that I want more babies. I want our babies. We've both tried running away. We've both tried being with other people, but we keep finding our way back to each other. So let's please, Andy, try the one thing we haven't. Let's stay together." Sam said to Andy convincing her and taking her hands "I'm obviously gonna stay. I love you." Andy replied "Okay. I love you, too." Sam replied giving her a kiss
"That's a goldendoodle." Sam said as she heard a dog on the stares "You bought a puppy?" Andy said shockingly "I ordered it six months ago and got the call that it was ready to be picked up. So, Boo Radley, meet Andy McNally." Sam said to her as she picked up the softy dog "clearly I can't leave now. I got to take care of this guy." Andy said coming face to face with Sam again "Can we please get married?" Sam asked "We are." Andy replied to him "Faster?" Sam asked again "Okay." Andy said with a smile on her face looking at Sam "Okay." Sam replied to her with a grin on his face to "Should we take this little guy for a walk?" Andy asked Sam "Yeah, we can do whatever you want. We're all yours." Sam replied to Andy as they both walked out the door.
