exactly two weeks ago chief Dixon announce to the whole team that the captain race was back on place. Andy was the first one to ask why and he only said that she broke protocol on her last call which he didn't tolerate and the race was back on she tried to know what she did but he wouldn't give it away. so she dealt with it the best way she could, running against maya or jack but whatever she was doing it seems to give her harm instead of good. so a week ago robert and her had a really serious talk and talked a bit about it with Travis
here's their conversation
both of them were making dinner, well mostly him. if one thing she liked from him was his cooking skill they were so good plus hes was looking hot while cooking, she was playing with rose (Sullivan baby). spinning her around playing with some fire truck toys which appeared to be the only toy she had and some squishy ones "Andrea " when he saw her still having fun with his girl he called her again " babe" " yes?" Andy said stopping as soon as she heard his voice they known each other for a while now but there was still those butterflies in her stomach and the shivering in her spine when he called her babe or by her full name " you are really good with her" "yeah I guess I had practice for a while" "yeah, dinner is almost ready" "okay, do you want me to put her down?" she asked "yeah maybe shell take a little nap so we can share dinner without being interrupted, it doesn't bother you right?" "no of course not robert, she's so cute I cant dislike her" "she really is" . she put her down in her bed and it didn't took her long to fall asleep. andy joined robert back in the kitchen "is dinner ready" "yeah just a little bit more and its done" "good" " Em is gonna get here soon she was with Vic I think" "you think?" he turned to look at her frightened "relax she's with her I just wanted to see your reactions" "god Andy I thought you didn't know where your kid was" "I always know where she is, if I let her at the station with dean ill have a text every thirty minute with a pic saying they are still together" "seems like him" "yeah" "its ready do you want it in a bowl or a plate" "whatever you take it in" "then it'll be a bowl" "its fine with me" they were about to start eating when the doorbell rang "ill get it" Andy said she knew it was gonna be Vic and robert couldn't answer when she didn't know about them" she half opened the door " hey ands I'm giving back little miss" she just ran inside pass straight her mother and got to her bedroom "was she good?"
