#NORA DROP ANOTHER BOOK OF ANDREIL FROM DREW POINT OF VIEW AND MY LIFE ID YOURS

This is canon now and you can't change that thanks

In my head, "Mama Bee" can never happen so long as she is actively his therapist. She's too good of a therapist to risk crossing those sorts of lines, and with CPTSD, those lines are extra important.

HOWEVER

When Andrew graduates, she is no longer his therapist. And I bet you, once he graduates and meets Bee after the ceremony, he brings this up in his own way. "You don't have to deal with me now," he probably says.

And you know what? Bee probably smiles the way she does over a mug of hot chocolate and says something like, "I was never 'dealing'." Cue some stilted circumnavigation around the subtext until Bee says, "I may no longer be your therapist, Andrew. But you still have my number. And I will still answer."

And so, just to see if the Enigma that is Bee will still hold up to time, he does. Once a month, maybe. And she answers, every time.

And once a month becomes a little more. And eventually Skype calls become a thing. Every Fox reunion has Andrew making his way towards Bee before anyone else.

He calls her when they adopt Sir and King. He calls her when he and Neil get hitched. He calls her when they buy their first home ( Wymack was who he called for house hunting help).

He yells at her when she has that heart attack.

He runs her first marathon with her.

And that's how Bee the therapist slowly becomes Mama Bee (but no one ever calls her that. Andrew won't even let himself think it. But even Neil seems to smile whenever Andrew willfully picks up the phone to rant to Betsy Dobson about the mundanities of life, just because he can. Just because he still has her number. And just because she will still answer.)
