A/N: I'm here with the tenth chapter. Andy explains to Sharon, the truth about Fritz. On the other hand, Provenza reveals his feelings for Andrea. (In my story Provenza is with Andrea, not with Patrice). Now Andy is considering a proposal of marriage. I hope you like it. Enjoy & Review, thanks!

Sharon and Andy walked home. Andy held Sharon's hand, as she walked slowly and thoughtfully. At one point, Andy looked at her and felt the worry in her eyes. He stopped and squeezed her hand. He stroked her face with his thumb and smiled softly.

"Sharon, are you okay?" he asked concerned. Sharon sighed wearily and bit her lip.

"Oh, I don't know Andy. I really don't know. I feel guilty. Fritz probably left because of me. I am guilty. Maybe I wasn't supposed to talk to him yesterday. It was a mistake." Andy hugged her comfortingly and kissed her forehead.

"Calm down Sharon. I assure you that Fritz left voluntarily." Sharon looked into his brown eyes questioningly.

"How do you know that Fritz had left voluntarily?" Andy sighed and decided to tell the whole truth to Sharon.

"Sharon, we need to talk about it." Sharon felt his tension and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Andy, bad thing? '"

"Don't worry. I just have to explain Fritz's departure." Sharon's curiosity grew and she was eager to learn the truth.

"Andy, please tell me. I can't wait anymore." Andy took her to the car because he didn't want her to be upset in her condition. They got into the car, but Andy couldn't utter a word. Sharon still gazing at him and the silence made her nervous.

"Andy, you will tell me at last?" Andy took a deep breath, gently took her hand and looked into her green eyes.

"Sharon, yesterday I was with Fritz." Sharon's eyes widened.

"You were with Fritz? Why? '"

"Sharon, I wanted to apologize for yesterday's incident. So while you were with Andrea I went to talk to him. I just know that I'm guilty and he is my old friend. I needed to apologize." Sharon nodded slightly. She still didn't know where this conversation goes.

"What are you talking about?"

"When I walked into his apartment, on the couch was a photo album. He asked me if I wanted something to drink and I told him that I want water. As he went into the kitchen, I took the album to see the photos inside. I know maybe this isn't good, but I just was very curious and wanted to see the photos. When I took the album and opened it, I actually wasn't surprised by the photos that was inside. Inside were his pictures along with Brenda. I felt bad I realized that he still loves her, but I didn't know why they parted. After a while, Fritz came into the living room and saw me with his album. I tried to explain to him that I just wanted to see his photos. Fortunately, he didn't react badly. On the contrary: he sat down beside me and with a sad smile took the album in his hands. " Andy paused and took a deep breath. Sharon looked at him sadly and took his hand to give him the courage to continue.

"Yes, when he took the album, he told me," These are my memories, Andy. I really loved Brenda, and perhaps still love her. You know, today Sharon was here and I talked to her. She told me that I deserve true love that I deserve someone who really loves me. Then I thought of her words. Sharon was right. Maybe what I feel for Sharon is not love. She is happy with you and I'm glad that you're together again. But I couldn't forget Brenda. When Sharon left, I took the album and a long time looked our photos, our beautiful memories together. I felt alone, all alone without Brenda. In an instant I could cry I want to be with her again. " That said Fritz, Sharon. Sharon's eyes filled with tears. She gently rubbed his eyes.

"What else did he say? '"

"He told me that he needs to find her, he told me that he can't stay here any longer and wants at all costs again to be with Brenda. Fritz told me that you helped him rethink the things. So he asked me to I will not say anything because he knew that you'll blame yourself. " Sharon sighed wearily and nodded slightly.

"Now I understand everything. I hope that Fritz and Brenda will be together again." Andy smiled slightly and kissed her.

"Don't worry Sharon, I'm convinced that everything will be fine." Sharon smiled softly and at that moment she felt a slight kick. She took Andy's hand and placed it on her belly.

"Can you feel?" Sharon asked with a smile. Andy couldn't find the words to describe his joy.

"This ... This is our Kate, right?" he grinned.

"She already knows her father." Andy stroked SHaron's belly.

"Your father loves you very much Kate and already can't wait you to be with him." he said softly to the baby inside Sharon. She grinned.

"Oh, Andy, now I have no doubt that you'll be a great father." Andy looked back at her eyes with love and kissed her gently on the lips.

"I love you Sharon." Sharon smiled.

"I love you too."

"Well, I think we should go back as Emily and Ricky will arrive any moment." said Andy. Sharon nodded slightly.

"Oh, you're right. I completely forgot because of these problems." Andy squeezed her hand reassuringly.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine as long as I'm with you." Sharon kissed him on the cheek and they walked home.

On the other hand, Emily and Ricky had already arrived and were waiting Sharon and Andy together with Rusty and Nicole.

"I'm glad you're here early." smiled Rusty.

"Yes, it's wonderful." Nicole added.

"We had to come. We're very excited about our little sister." Emily said with a smile.

"Especially I can't wait." Ricky grinned.

"Yes, we too." said Nicole.

"Mom and Andy suffered a lot. I think Andy is very guilty. He did like our father. He left my mom alone at this difficult time." Emily sighed.

"Yes, but he didn't want do it willingly." Rusty said.

"What is the reason? Mom didn't tell us, she just told us that they are together with Andy again. But you probably know the truth." said Ricky confused and looked at Rusty and Nicole. Nicole took Emily's hand and smiled slightly.

"Dad told me why. He just was afraid to avoid the same mistakes of the past. He really made many mistakes in my childhood, but everyone makes mistakes. It's important to fix them." Emily and Ricky nodded.

"Yes, Nicole, you're right. I'm sure that Andy will correct this mistake." Emily said.

"Yes, it is. I'm convinced that mom will be happy with Andy because isn't like our father." Ricky said grimly.

"Hey, let's not talk about it to them. Let's forget it." Rusty suggested.

"Of course we'll not talk about it." said Nicole. At this point the door opened and entered Sharon and Andy. When Sharon went into the living room and saw her children, she ran towards them to embrace them.

"Emily, Ricky! You're here." she exclaimed and hugged them.

"Mom, beware, you're pregnant." said Emily.

"I'm fine, don't worry. How are you? '"

"We're good mom." Ricky said with a smile. Sharon kissed them and they sat on the couch.

"I'm glad you're here." said Andy and join them.

"How are you, Andy?" Emily asked politely.

"Oh, I'm fine. I hope that you are too. '"

"Yes, we're fine." remarked with a slight smile Ricky.

"How's our little sister?" asked Emily and put her hand on her mother's belly.

"Pretty alive, she can't wait to meet you." Sharon grinned.

"We'll have dinner together, right?" asked Andy and turned his attention to Emily and Ricky.

"Of course we would have dinner together." said Sharon.

"Yes mom, we'll be in Los Angeles few months. We want to be here for the birth." Emily smiled.

"Yes mom, we're very impatient." Ricky laughed. Sharon smiled softly and ruffled his hair.

"Everything's fine. I suggest you prepare dinner together." said Nicole.

"Oh yeah, great idea." Rusty agreed.

"Are you serious?" Sharon laughed.

"Why not Sharon, I'm an expert in the kitchen. Together with Rusty and Nicole will prepare something special while you talk." Andy said with a smile.

"Oh, Andy, you really can cook? I love men who can cook." Emily said.

"Oh, Andy really cook very well." said Sharon.

"Let's see then." Ricky joked. Andy laughed.

"We'll prepare an amazing dinner." Andy said and went into the kitchen with Nicole and Rusty. Sharon continued her conversation with Emily and Ricky, while Andy was preparing dinner with Rusty and Nicole.

On the other hand Provenza had invited Andrea to dinner at a restaurant. He felt that he has feelings for her and wanted her to understand. Andrea was surprised by his invitation, but happy. Provenza and Andrea looked at each other a long time, while Andrea broke the silence between them.

"What do you think of Sharon and Andy?" she asked. Provenza sighed.

"I think they made a good choice. They need to be together as soon they will have a child." Andrea nodded slightly.

"I was surprised that Sharon still loves Andy, despite everything he'd done it. '"

"Well, this is their life. In addition, Andy realized his mistake and that is most important." Provenza noted calmly.

"Yes, you're right." Provenza gently cleared his throat.

"Andrea, we're not here to talk about Sharon and Andy. They are already happy. I would like ... Let's talk about us." Andrea's eyes widened.

"What about us?" she asked, confused. Provenza gently took her hand.

"Andrea, I invited you here because I want to confess something. Look, I know I look pretty strict, but I have feelings too. My previous marriages were a complete failure, but now ... now I feel feelings for you and I think that ... No, actually I'm sure I love you. "Andrea froze. She hadn't expected this.

Sharon had a long conversation with "her children when Andy called out from the kitchen, "Dinner's ready!" Sharon smiled softly.

"My specialist is ready with the dinner. '"

"Hey, we helped too." Nicole frowned.

"Oh, yes, without our help, Andy couldn't prepare dinner so fast. '" Rusty said.

"I think it smells great." said Emily and closed her eyes.

"Yes, and I think we're all hungry." Ricky laughed.

"Let's go into the kitchen for a delicious dinner." Sharon said with a smile.

"Mom, do you want help?" Emily asked anxiously.

"No dear, I can handle it." Sharon was happy when she was with her family. She gently placed a hand on her belly. She knew that this pregnancy is difficult, but was eager to embrace her daughter Kate. Dinner was over and everyone was in their rooms. Despite his warning, Sharon insisted to wash the dishes together with Andy.

"Sharon, you shouldn't do it in your condition." Andy frowned.

"Andy, I'm fine, except that, I'm not an invalid and I can handle it." Andy rolled his eyes and sighed wearily.

"You know your stubborn right?" Sharon grinned.

"Definitely Lieutenant. But now, please help me so we can finish with the dishes."

"Oh, of course, Captain." He chuckled and kissed her gently.

Andrea still looking at Provenza with surprise.

"Oh, I'm really confused and don't know what to say. ''

"I understand you, Andrea. It's not easy, but I realized that I love you and ... I wanted you to know that." Andrea smiled softly and took his hand.

"Louie, in fact, maybe I feel something for you." Provenza's eyes glowed.

"Does that mean yes?" he asked impatiently. Andrea nodded and kissed him on the cheek.

"I think it's the right answer." she grinned. Provenza felt happy and eager to share with his friend Andy.

The next morning, Sharon opened her eyes against the sun. She smiled when she saw Andy in front of her. He sat down beside her and kissed her gently.

"Good morning, darling." he said.

"Good morning. Where are the children? '"

"They are out. Let's have breakfast before going to work." offered Andy and held the tray. Sharon smiled softly and looked at the breakfast.

"Oh, Andy, what is it?"

"This is a special breakfast for you." he grinned.

"Oh, you're so romantic." She took a piece of the pancakes. "God, they are very tasty!" Andy smiled softly.

"I', glad that you like." He was grateful that Sharon is his life. Despite all his mistakes, he was convinced that he could fix them and be happy with Sharon and their daughter.

Later in the day, Sharon sat in "her office and talk with Andrea.

"Andy told me all about Fritz. He was going because he wanted ...-" Sharon stopped because she felt that Andrea's thoughts are elsewhere. She took her hand.

"Andrea, what's happening? '"

"Nothing Sharon. ''

"There is something. You''re hiding something from me. I speak to you, but you didn't listen to me. What's the problem?" Sharon asked anxiously. Andrea sighed with a slight smile.

"Oh, Sharon, yesterday Provenza invited me to dinner." Sharon's eyes widened.

"What? Dinner?"

"Yes, he told me that he loves me and wants us to be together." Sharon smiled softly.

"This is a big surprise, but I'm very happy for you. I hope you to be happy. "Sharon and hugged Andrea.

"Thank you Sharon." On the other hand, Provenza tried to share this with Andy.

"What happens Provenza?" asked Andy confused.

"Look, Flynn, I still don't want anyone to understand it, but ... yesterday I invited Andrea to dinner and told her that I love her and want to be together." Suddenly Andy fell into shock.

"What? Andrea? You?"

"Yes Flynn, it's funny for you?" He frowned. Andy laughed.

"No, of course not. I'm happy for you. That's just .. Great surprise. "

"I know that, but you're my best friend and I needed to share this with you." Andy hugged his friend.

"I hope you to be happy with Andrea."

"Thanks Flynn, I hope."

Several hours later, Andy was standing at Sharon's office open door. She looked at him and smiled.

"Hey, why you stay there? Come here." Andy closed the door and sat down beside her. He gently took her hand.

"I assume that you're surprised for Provenza and Andrea." he grinned. Sharon laughed.

"Definitely. But I hope that they will be happy together." Andy nodded and kissed her cheek.

"How's my little one today? '"

"Pretty good. I'm grateful that she wasn't kicking me much." Sharon grined. Andy smiled.

"Very good. You want to go to lunch? '"

"Hmm ... definitely. I and Kate are hungry." She took her jacket and purse and they walked toward the elevators.

"Nevertheless, I think that Provenza and Andrea are a wonderful couple." said Andy. Sharon nodded with a smile.

"You're right, they are." They stopped in front of the elevators. Andy looked at Sharon.

"What's wrong?" she asked nervously.

"Nothing, just wondering about something. '"

"What?" Sharon asked curiously.

"I mean, I think ... for our wedding." Sharon sighed.

"Oh, Andy, I ...- ''

"You don't want to marry me?" he asked sadly.

"Oh, no, of course I want. But I think we should wait until birth. I want to say that my pregnancy is risky and I want to wait until Kate is born." Andy smiled and kissed her gently.

"I'll wait forever Sharon." He took her hand and they went to a nearby restaurant.
