Chapter 10

Sharon was deeply asleep on the couch. Somehow, she was dozing here. Her life was not easy at all, especially after the appearance of her ex-husband. She was pregnant and had a lot of problems with Andy Flynn - the man she loves. She just didn't know how to get him to believe her. She loved only him, but Andy couldn't forget today's scene in her office.

He was restless. He couldn't sleep. He constantly thought about Sharon - for the love of his life. "Is she still loves him? Is she wants to be with him again?" These questions are not coming out of his head. He just any moment could leave without saying anything, but he couldn't, knowing that Sharon would be alone in her delicate condition. He was also grateful that Rusty wasn't home that night.

Sharon was fast asleep, but restless. Her face was clearly visible with drops of tears, that were a sign that her heart belongs only to Andy. But he, as always was stubborn and didn't want to see that. It really hurt. Andy was lying in a cold bed, alone, without Sharon's warm embrace. He looked at the blank side and realized how important she was in his life. He felt he couldn't live without her, he can't even breathe without her. He needed her warm embrace and her sweetest caress.

He slowly got out of bed and decided to check Sharon. He was really restless. With slow and silent steps he quietly entered the bedroom, but she wasn't there. His heart was filled with indescribable emptiness. "Is she well?" This question was the only one in his head now. He decided to check first the bathroom - she wasn't there. He quickly walked to the living room and seeing that she was asleep on the couch, he sighed with relief.

He came to her without being very close. He looked at her carefully. She was fast asleep, but he could feel her heavy and uneven, breathing. He also could see drops of tears on her face that told him that she was crying. Yes, she was crying. Because of him. He knew the answer. He, for the first time in his life, he felt guilty. She was pregnant and he didn't want her to lose the baby because of him. That would be terrible.

Andy decided to sit quietly beside her. He kept looking at her quietly and carefully, lovingly, somewhat. He loved her, but Jack was back again in their lives. The nightmare had returned. He felt helpless as never before. He held out his hand to wipe her tears, but seeing that she opens her eyes, he pulled away. Sharon slowly opened her eyes and looked at him coldly. She yawned and looked at the clock. She quickly stood up, but feeling dizziness she stopped. Andy quickly picked her up without even asking her, he led her into the bedroom. She wasn't very surprised.

He slowly placed her on her bed. Their hands were intertwined. Their eyes made contact. The distance between their lips were barely noticeable. They were so close together that Andy could kiss her without thinking about anything else. He couldn't think about anything except her. He definitely loved her. Sharon pulled away from his strong embrace. She sighed wearily and without saying a word, she closed her eyes again. She felt exhausted enough to be able to talk to him one more time. She was just tired and she didn't want to argue again. She knew it makes no sense.

Andy nodded slightly and took a deep breath. He swallowed the lump in his throat. He was guilty. He knew that, but he couldn't believe that between her and Jack was no longer anything. Somehow, he still believed that she loves Jack Raydor. Or at least she had a reason. Yet she was pregnant with his child, although Andy was ready to accept this child like his because he really loved Sharon.

He returned to the living room and sat on the couch thoughtfully. He didn't know what would happen to his life from now on. He wanted to leave. He wanted she again to be his enemy and everything to be fine. As before. "As before. My enemy." he thought and closed his eyes for a moment. But it was too late because she was no longer his enemy. She was the love of his life and he wanted to be with her, whatever happens.

On the other hand, Sharon still couldn't sleep. She thought for Andy. "Why you're not my enemy as before? Why I love you love so much?" she murmured and tears streamed down her cheeks. She was restless. She slowly got out of bed and went into the living room. She saw Andy, who was already asleep, though difficult. She sighed wearily and bring a blanket for him from the bedroom.

She quickly left the blanket to him and invisibly back into the bedroom. They couldn't live without each other. But they were stubborn and unwilling to admit it. But whatever happens, their love was stronger than anything else. There was no doubt.

The next morning, Andy was still asleep in the living room while Sharon was preparing for work in the bedroom. Sharply opening the door woke Andy. Rusty had come just now. He threw his keys and entering the living room, his eyes widened, seeing that Lieutenant Flynn sleep here. He slowly approached him. Andy rubbed his eyes and stood up.

"Oh, Lieutenant? What are you doing here?" he asked, confused. Andy sighed and shook his head. At this point, he didn't know what to answer.

"Rusty, last night I was pretty tired and I dozed off here. That's all." he said quickly. Rusty nodded and looked around. The table hasn't yet been prepared. It made an impression on him.

"Oh, okay. Um ... Where's Sharon?"

"She's probably in the bedroom. I mean she's in the bedroom." For a moment, Andy thought that their secret will be revealed. He didn't know what he's talking right now. Fortunately, Rusty hadn't doubted. At this point, Sharon had arrived in the living room. She smiled softly, seeing Rusty and hugged him.

"Oh, Rusty. I'm glad you're here. You want breakfast?" she asked with a smile, as if everything was okay. Rusty nodded and looked at Andy, who also was smiling. Their smiles were, however strange.

"Yes, it'll be fine. You want to help?" Sharon squeezed his shoulder and said, "No need. I can handle it."

"Rusty, you're tired. I'll help her, don't worry." Andy added immediately, looking at Sharon. Sharon looked at him coldly and sighed wearily. Rusty went to his room. Sharon went into the kitchen. Andy used the moment to ask her if she's okay.

Sharon put the dishes on the table without looking at him. Andy didn't know where to start, but he really needed to know if she's okay. She was pregnant and that made him worry even more. He suddenly stood before her and looked into her bright green eyes. Sharon looked into his brown eyes as if at any moment she could hug him.

"What's the problem, Lieutenant Flynn?" she asked very professionally. Andy shook his head, dissatisfied and looked back at her.

"Sharon, please. Don't call me like that." Sharon laughed.

"Why not? You're a lieutenant and this is completely normal." she said firmly.

"Sharon, look, I want to talk about last night. I really don't know what happened, but I lost my control and ... '"

"You know, I don't want to talk about last night. Moreover, reminding you that you want to be as before - just enemies."

"No, Sharon. You must listen to me. I love you and whatever I do, I know, you can't be my enemy. Sharon, please. I love you and I don't want to lose you. I know I'm an idiot." he said guiltily. Sharon took a deep breath.

"Yes, you act like ... a child. A child who doesn't know what he wants. Yes, Andy. You still think that I have a relationship with Jack and I love him. But unfortunately, you couldn't understand it . You couldn't understand that I love you and my heart belongs to you. You didn't want to understand that. " she said, her eyes filled with tears.

Andy sighed wearily. At this point, Rusty returned to them and they interrupted their conversation. At breakfast, the tension was also high. Rusty couldn't understand what the problem is, but he was convinced that there is a problem.

That afternoon, Andy sat at his desk, looking at Sharon's office thoughtfully. He constantly looked there. He watched Sharon. He was afraid that she might lose the baby. She had to stay away from stressful situations, but now he was creating her stress. He didn't know why he continues to think that there was something between her and Jack. Sharon had told him several times that she loves him - not Jack. Maybe he's just jealous.

"I think my problems will never end, Andrea." Sharon said thoughtfully. Andrea sighed and took her hand.

"Sharon, don't talk like that. You know very well that Andy loves you and that he simply can't bear to see you with Jack again." Sharon shook her head, dissatisfied.

"But he also needs to understand that I love only him. I love Andy with all my heart, but his childish is choking me. I can't go on this way, I just can't." Andrea shushed softly, rubbing her back soothingly.

"Sharon, think about the baby. You just can't think so. Your pregnancy is high risk. Calm down." she warned sternly. Sharon put her hand on her belly.

"My baby is not guiltily, but I didn't have to make mistake to be with Jack again that night. From that night onwards, my whole life turned upside down and now I can't find a way out."

On the other hand, Provenza was looking at some folders before him carefully. He turned his head and saw Andy, who again sat absently on his desk. He put the folders on his desk, looked around and sat down beside him.

"Well, what's the problem this time?" he asked immediately. Andy looked at him confused.

"What?"

"Come on, Andy. I'm your friend. Just tell me the truth." he pressed. Andy sighed wearily and decided to tell him everything, believing that Provenza can give him good advice. When Andy told him about Jack and their disputes with Sharon, Provenza squeezed his shoulder and said quietly, "Andy, believe me. Everything will be fine. But you really have to believe that Sharon loves you - not Jack." he returned to his desk. He looked at the office thoughtfully. Does he make mistake?

In the evening, Sharon and Rusty were sitting in the living room quietly. Rusty looked at her questioningly. He cleared his throat and said quietly, "Sharon, where's Andy? He always came back with you. Now it's too late." Sharon sighed wearily and looked at the clock. Yes, it was too late. Rusty was right.

"He may be late. He told me that he would be with Lieutenant Provenza, don't worry." she assured him. Rusty nodded with a smile and continued to watch the movie.

A few hours later, Rusty was already asleep. Sharon, however, had decided to wait for Andy. She stood by the window thoughtfully. Where was he? He never was late so much. She was worried. Suddenly the door opened. Seeing that Andy arrives, she sighed with relief. He entered the room and was surprised seeing Sharon before him.

"I know you're surprised, but I wanted to wait." Andy nodded and walked over to her.

"Where were you?" she asked worriedly and coldly. Andy took a deep breath and replied, "I just needed to be alone and think about my problems." Sharon squeezed his shoulder.

"I know it's hard. I'm also going through these things. Our life is difficult and fate sometimes punishes us in this way." Andy looked at her and gently stroked her face. Feeling him near her, Sharon immediately forget about the pain. He was her only comfort, whatever happens.

"Are you okay?" he asked quietly, looking at her green eyes with love.

"Yes, I'm fine."

"And the baby? '"

"Both are fine, don't worry." she said with a smile. Andy smiled and whispered quietly, "Sharon, whatever happens, I love you. And I'll not allow anyone to be between us." he said firmly.

"I know that. I love you and I don't think about anything except to be with you. You are my life." she said softly. Andy kissed her gently, then hugged her tightly, as if he would never leave her. They were happy together. They were happy that finally they had resolved their problems. They just wanted to be together, nothing else...
