He made his way to her office door he saw her sitting at her desk holding her head in her hands.

"Sharon sweetheart everything ok?" He asked as he made his way around her desk and knelt down next to her. She took a deep breath and collected herself before she responded to him. She cupped his cheek with her hand.

"Yes I'm fine honey no need to worry."

He looked at his watch. "Well it's time for you to go to your appointment."

"Are you ready to go?" He asked as he watched her smile fade.

She stood up and looked at him as he laid his hand on her shoulder. "I'm as ready as I'll ever be."

"Sharon everything is going to be ok."

She looks at him the tears building up in her eyes "I hope so Andy." I hope so" she said as she walked around him and out of her office. She stopped in the murder room to speak to everyone before she left.

"Lt. Provenza" you are in charge until we get back."

"Yes ma'am" he nodded in agreement.

They all wished her good luck as her and Andy made their way to the elevator. Once they were alone in the elevator she wrapped her arm around Andy's waist and he held her as they rode the elevator in silence.

They made it to her car and he opened the passenger side door for her. She looked at him a moment; "I can still drive Andy" He smiled at her.

"I never said you couldn't Sharon I would like to drive you if you don't mind." He said as he grabbed her keys out of her hand and made his way to the driver's side and slid into the seat. The drive to the Doctor's office was silent one.

Sharon sat in the passenger seat staring out the window watching the city go by lost in her thoughts. They arrived at the doctor's office and made their way up the receptionist.

"Hi I'm Ms. Raydor I have an appointment with Dr. Smith this morning."

"Yes ma'am Ms. Raydor have a seat and the doctor will be with you shortly."

They sat in the waiting room for what seem like an eternity.

Andy could see Sharon was fidgeting in her seat. "Sweetheart everything is going to be alright."

She turned to look at him but didn't say anything. He held his hand in hers.

"Ms. Raydor" this way ma'am the nurse said as they both followed her into the doctor's private office.

The nurse spoke up "My name is Jessica." I'll be outside if you need anything before the doctor comes in.

Sharon looked at her and gave her a sad smile.

"The doctor will be in shortly to talk to you." The nurse said as she walked out of the room.

Andy could see that she was trying to be calm but he also knew her enough to know that she was screaming on the inside. He reached over and grabbed her hand and held it tightly in his. Andy finally broke the silence.

"Sharon sweetheart look at me." She turned her head to see him smiling at her. "No matter what the doctor has to say I will be here and we will get through this together." "You aren't alone in this I promise you."

A few moments later the doctor walked into the room. "Hi Ms. Raydor "I'm Doctor Smith."

"I wanted to meet with you and discuss the results of your last mammogram."

"I'm afraid that there are several tumors in your left breast." We have caught them early enough to stop them from spreading and with any luck we will be able to treat them without you having to have surgery."

She felt like the wind had been knocked out of her body as she sat there and listen to the doctor. It felt like everything around her was a blur.

Sharon felt Andy gently squeeze her hand.

"Sharon honey you ok?" Andy could see her processing all of the things the doctor had just told her and he could also see the tears falling down her cheeks.

Andy looked at the doctor; "Can we have a few mins alone?"

"Sure thing I'll be outside setting up some appointments for her."

The doctor got up and walked out of the room leaving them alone; Andy stood and wrapped her in his arms and held her as she finally let the tears fall. He rubbed her back trying to comfort her as continued to cry.

She finally gathered herself after a few mins and looked up to see his dark chocolate eyes staring back at her. "Andy what I am going to do?" She asked as she felt her knees start to buckle under her as he helped her sit down.

"Sharon all you can do is take it one day at a time and just keep fighting."

She held his hand in hers as she took a deep breath trying to regain her composure.

After some time the doctor came back into the room.

"Ms Raydor I have got you set up to start Chemotherapy starting next week."

"I want to give you time to absorb all of this and gather your thoughts and to let you speak to your family before we start hitting it hard."

"Thank you Doctor Smith" She stood up and shook his hand before walking out of the office.

As they made their way back out into the waiting room she stopped and made sure the nurse had all the information that she would need as they walked out of the building she leaned into his side as they walked back to the car. After they got into the car he looked at her.

"What do you want to do now?" "Do you want to go to work or home?"

She looked at him with tear filled eyes "I'd like to go home."

"Okay home it is then."

Before he started the car he sent Provenza a quick text message and he called to let Taylor know that they were taking rest of the day off and if he needed him to just call.

She sent a text message to Emily and to Ricky asking them to come home for the weekend that she needed to talk to them. As they made their way to her condo her thoughts and concerns went to Rusty.

She knew that she shouldn't keep something like this from him but it would be better for him to wait until his siblings were there so he would have them to lean on.

As she stared out the window she thought to herself how could this be happening now? She was finally in a happy place in her life she had just recently found Andy and Rusty still needed her in his life.

But how was she going to explain this to them; Her babies the ones that depend on her and need her. The ones that she loved with everything she had. She thought about it and back on her life as she stared out the window on the way home watching the world go by around her.
