A/N: Hello, everyone! Thank you so very much for your reviews! They mean a lot to me! It's the first time writing a story that I don't know how many chapters it will have or how it is going to end, as I have changed some things that were in the original idea when I started writing this story! In this story Sharon is 53 years old, Rusty is 20 years old and Andy is 56 years old. I hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except from the idea and the characters that I've created.

Andy was pacing up and down the waiting room as they all waited for news about Sharon. He sat down in one of the chairs and ran his hand through his hair. He looked around the room at all the faces of their friends but he stopped on Rusty. He looked desperate, worried and scared. The first time they came at the hospital was for Sharon Beck because she was attacked and they found out that she wasn't his biological mother. Now, for the second time that night, they were at the hospital for Sharon Raydor.

Of course he was scared and worried because Sharon was the only mother that he had now and he didn't want to lose her as well. He was worried himself about Sharon and felt guilty for not insisting more that morning for her to go to the hospital. They wouldn't be sitting in a waiting room if they had gone to the doctor earlier but they didn't think that it was something serious. He sighed and ran his hand through his hair once more.

A few minutes later they heard footsteps approaching the waiting room. Upon seeing the doctor entering, Rusty and Andy stood up quickly. The others stood up as well but they were standing behind them.

"You are the family of Captain Raydor?", the doctor asked looking at all of them.

"I am her son and this is her fiancée.", he pointed at Andy with a small smile. "How is my mother, doctor?", he asked worried.

"She is slightly dehydrated and her blood pressure was very low when they brought here.", he took a deep breath and continued. "We managed to avoid the risk of a miscarriage. We will keep her for two or three days so we can keep an eye on her and the baby. If everything goes well, in two days she will be able to go home but she will have to stay in bed rest for a couple of days before returning to work.", he informed them and was confused when he noticed shocked and surprised expressions on their faces.

"Excuse me.", Andy looked at the doctor with wide eyes. "Sharon is pregnant?", he was surprised as he had thought that there wasn't a chance for them to have a child of their own.

"Yes. She is about three months along.", he informed him and understood that no one, including Sharon, didn't know about the pregnancy. "She must be very careful because of her age and the risks that exist, but she is in a very good physical condition and everything so far are very good.", he explained and smiled at Andy.

"When can we see her?", it was Rusty who asked. He knew that she was going to be alright but he had to see her to be absolutely sure.

"In about half an hour she will be settled in her room. I will send a nurse to fetch you when it is time.", he smiled reassuringly at Rusty and Andy.

"Thank you, doctor.", Andy said and turned around to look at the others. "Thank you so much for waiting with us for news about Sharon. Rusty and I will stay here with Sharon. Please, go home and rest. We have a case to solve.", he told them and went to sit down.

In the next few minutes one by one offered their congratulations for Sharon's pregnancy and left for their respective homes. Only Louie stayed for a while longer because he wanted to make sure that Andy and Rusty had eaten something. Also, he wanted to make sure that Andy took his medicine for his blood pressure. He didn't want him there as a patient as well.

"Mr. Flynn?", a nurse asked when she entered the waiting room about forty minutes later.

"Yes.", he stood up quickly with worry.

"The doctor told me to fetch you two. You can go and see Captain Raydor.", she said with a smile and started walking with the two men following behind. "This is her room. If you need anything, please press the button and me or one of the nurses will come as soon as possible.", she opened the door for them to enter.

"Thank you, nurse.", Andy told her and entered the room with Rusty following.

They both stood for a few moments and watched her. She was looking much better than she was while being unconscious in her office. She was a little pale but that was to be expected after what they had been through. Andy turned to look at Rusty and noticed how relieved he looked but also a bit worried.

"Go ahead, Rusty. She will be very glad to see you.", he placed a hand on his shoulder and nudged him forward towards the bed.

Rusty approached the bed slowly without taking his eyes from his mother. He stopped by her side and after a moment, he took hold of her hand. "Mom?", he simply called and watched as her eyes fluttered.

"Rusty!", she smiled weakly at him upon opening her eyes and saw him.

"How are you feeling, mom?", he was still worried about her.

"Much better, honey.", she squeezed his hand to reassure him. "I am sorry that I scared you. I should have gone at the hospital in the morning. Especially after hearing what the doctor found.", she placed her free hand on her flat stomach and smiled at the thought of a baby created from the love between her and Andy.

"Yes, we were a little surprised when the doctor told us about the baby.", Rusty looked at Andy who approached the bed and stood next to him.

"It's something that wasn't planned or even expected at this age. I want to know your feelings, the both of you.", she looked at them with a serious look.

"It was a little surprising at the beginning, but as the time passes I like more and more the thought of being a big brother. I will help you with everything that I can at the house and with the baby once it arrives. I will be glad to teach him or her things as a big brother.", he smiled widely at her and grinned. "Congratulations, mom.", he hugged her for a few moments and kissed her cheek before he pulled back completely. "Congratulations, Andy.", he said with a grin.

"Thanks, kid.", Andy patted him on the shoulder and smiled at Sharon.

"I will go inform lieutenant Provenza that you are fine, so he can go home and rest.", he turned around to walk towards the door but Sharon pulled him back by his hand.

"You have to rest as well, Rusty. Why don't you go with the lieutenant if you don't want to stay alone at the condo?", she was still worried about her son.

"I don't want to leave you, mom. Please, don't make me leave you.", he pleaded with her and fought hard to control his tears.

"He can stay, Sharon. That couch over there…", he pointed at the couch next to the door. "…can be a bed too.", he explained and gave her a look.

"Alright, you can stay.", she smiled at him and squeezed his hand.

"I'll be back in about fifteen-twenty minutes.", he left the room so they could have some privacy to talk about the pregnancy. He knew that she would make sure to spend a lot of time with him while she was at home on bed rest and Andy was at work.

Andy waited until Rusty had left to sit down on the bed and take hold of her hand. He watched her for a few moments and gave her a kiss on the lips. "How are you feeling, my darling?", he was still worried about her.

"I'm feeling much better, honey.", she squeezed his hand and smiled at him to reassure him. "So, what do you think?", she softly placed her free hand on her flat stomach.

"I was a little surprised at the beginning, because it was the last thing I expected to hear. I didn't know that it was still possible in our age to become parents again.", he looked at her eyes for a few moments and noticed the love she already felt for the baby that was growing inside her. "I am so very happy now, Sharon.", he smiled widely at her. "I thank God for giving us this chance to be parents together and for me to be the father that I wasn't while my children were growing up. I want to be there for this baby from the beginning until my last breath.", he placed his hand on hers on her stomach.

She watched him with tears in her eyes. She had been shocked and surprised herself when the doctor informed her that they had managed to avoid the miscarriage. She didn't even know that she was pregnant or that she was already about three months into this. She had actually believed that the menopause had started. Once the shock had passed and the news of her pregnancy had settled in, she started making plans and dreams about this baby. She could finally give him a chance at being a better father and they could raise their child together.

They were going to wait until she was out of the hospital and out of bed rest to speak with Ricky and Emily. She couldn't imagine their reactions when they would learn that in about six months they were going to have a baby brother or sister. She was sure that Emily would come to LA as soon as she could while Ricky would take some time to process the news before visiting her. She just hoped that everything would go well in the end.

"So, yesterday I wanted to ask you something while we were at the restaurant, but I didn't manage to do it with all that happened.", he placed his hand in his pocket and pulled out a small red velvet box. "We have been together for almost a year now. I have loved you for about two years or less, I don't know when I started falling for you. I wanted to ask you yesterday and now that we discovered that we are going to be parents, I think it's only logical to do this.", he showed her what he was holding and smiled at her. "So, I have something to ask you.", he opened the box and looked at her with all of his love. "Sharon, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?", he asked her simply.

She was looking at him with tears in her eyes and looked at the ring inside the box. It was the most beautiful ring she had ever seen. It was a ring that she would definitely choose if she went to a jeweler. He knew her so very well. She took a deep breath and looked at him again. "Of course I will marry you, Andy.", she squeezed his hand lightly.

He let go of her hand and took the ring out of the box. He took her right hand in his left hand and slowly he placed the ring on her ring finger. He looked at it for a couple of moments and kissed her hand. He looked at her eyes and smiled widely. In a matter of seconds he was kissing her passionately. They were going to get married and become parents. Was there anything that could spoil their day?

TBC… Please leave a review or two to let me know what you think. Hopefully, the next chapter will be up at the end of next week because of a very busy schedule.
