Chapter 11

Andy looked at Sharon carefully and confusedly at the same time. She looked exhausted from crying. Andy was worried about her condition until Nicole stood up to her room, watching the scene before her. The only thing she wanted was Sharon to leave of their lives. She couldn't stand another woman next to her father, but even Andy couldn't understand why. Andy touched Sharon, but she pulled away, looking into his brown eyes coldly.

"Sharon, honey, I don't understand anything. What do you mean? It's over? What is over?" he asked, more confused than ever. Sharon swallowed the lump in her throat and took a deep breath, answering, "Andy, I'm exhausted. I can no longer, trust me, I feel terrible in this home. I can't anymore because my problems started here, living with you. I don't want to live in your home not a minute more. " Nicole was listening to them intently as Andy approached Sharon.

"Sharon, stop talking nonsense. If the problem is that Jack is easy. Don't worry, I'm with you. I won't let you go anywhere." he said firmly and stood before her. Sharon touched his face and looking at him imploringly, she said quietly, "Andy, I beg you. I need to be in my home. I want to go back to my home." Andy sighed wearily and Sharon hugged tightly. No, he couldn't allow her such a thing, especially in her condition. Sharon closed her eyes for a moment and put her arms around him. She needed his help and support right now. He looked into her green eyes which were filled with sadness.

"Sharon, look at me. I can't leave you alone for nothing. You're pregnant, you need me. Please let's talk." he said quietly. Sharon shook her head, saying "Andy, just leave me at home. I need this, understand me. I can't be here." Andy nodded slightly and took her coat and purse. He glared at Nicole and she and Sharon went to her home. Nicole smiled contentedly, thinking that at least this time she succeeded. Andy drove carefully and slowly, looking at Sharon, who looked more tired than ever. He stopped the car and grabbed her hand. Sharon sighed and looked at him coldly.

"Sharon, what's up? You're acting strange. What is happening?" he asked impatiently. Sharon closed her eyes for a moment and said, "Andy, don't ask questions because I have no strength to answer you. Trust me, we'll talk about everything, but please, another time. Now the only thing I want is to be home. " Andy nodded and kissed her gently against her lips, then continued on. When they arrived at her home, Sharon almost fainted. Andy took her carefully and made her sit on the couch. He handed her a glass of water and looked at her carefully.

"Sharon, are you okay? You want to be alone, but you also see that you can't. You almost fainted. How can I leave you alone here?" he asked sternly. Sharon sat close to him and took his hand, saying, "Andy why are you with me? Why are you in love with a married woman? Why?" Andy fell into shock from her questions. He knew that a woman as Sharon would never have asked such questions without reason. He touched her face and looked into her green eyes sadly.

"Sharon, you know that I love you. Besides, you'll divorce soon. Why are you asking me such questions? Listen to me well. I love you and only want to have a new and happy life with you and our child." he said firmly. Sharon bit her lip and said, "Maybe we're too old to be parents? Or maybe this kid is a mistake." Andy shushed softly and hugged her tightly.

"Sharon, this is our child. I don't want to go back to the damn beginning. This is not a mistake and you know very well. I want you and our child be better. Promise me that you'll stop thinking those things." he asked. Sharon nodded slightly and snuggled in his arms. Andy kissed her softly on the forehead. He doubted that probably Nicole has said anything to Sharon. He was determined to talk to her and live with Sharon here, in her home. But in any case he couldn't leave her alone. Andy immediately took Sharon in her bedroom and carefully when she fell asleep, he returned home to talk to his daughter. Nicole knew and she wasn't at all surprised.

"Nicole, we must necessarily talk. What have you spoken with Sharon?" he asked very angrily. Nicole sighed wearily, answering, "Nothing. I just told her that she was probably tired and needs rest." Andy went to Nicole and said, "Only this? Are you sure?" Nicole rolled her eyes dissatisfied.

"What do you want me to tell Dad? You told me to stop arguing with Sharon because of her pregnancy. I don't told her anything. She wanted to return to her home, but I'm not guilty. Stop blaming me for everything!" she said angrily and went to her room. Andy took a deep breath and taking his keys, he walked toward Sharon's home. Sharon was still asleep when Andy returned to her. He smiled softly and sat beside her, squeezing her hand gently. Sharon slowly opened her eyes and smiled.

"Andy ... You're here?" she asked softly. Andy kissed her gently on the lips and replied, "Yes, honey, I'm here and always will be. I told you I didn't want to leave you alone. I'll live here with you." Sharon sighed wearily and shook her head. She put her hand on her stomach and closed her eyes for a moment. Andy looked at her carefully.

"What happens Shar, you have pain?" he asked anxiously, putting his hand on hers. Sharon smiled, saying, "Nothing like that. Just again I realized that inside me grows life. To be honest, I can't get used to this idea." Andy grinned and kissed her gently on the cheek, "Don't worry, we'll both get used." All night, Andy was close to Sharon. He was grateful that she sleeps peacefully in his arms away from her problems. He sighed wearily and looked at the clock. The time was 4 am when the phone rang. In order not to wake Sharon, he quickly grabbed his phone and went into the living room to talk.

"My God, Provenza! Are you crazy? Why are you calling me at this hour?" he asked with anger. Provenza sighed, saying, "Maybe because I want to hear your voice. Stop talking nonsense. We have a new case and you're a cop, if you want to remind you. Immediately, you must come here." Andy sighed wearily.

"Provenza, Sharon was tired and she sleeps at the moment. She is alone and I didn't want to leave her." he said quietly. Provenza cleared his throat, saying, "She can't attend. Chief Johnson explicitly told me that Captain Raydor will not participate in this investigation, but you must come here. 15 minutes." He hung up abruptly and Andy was filled with anger. He quickly prepare for leaving, but Sharon woke up and looked at him confused.

"Andy, what's happening?" she asked sleepily. Andy leaned over and kissed her gently on the lips, then said, "Honey, I have to go to a crime scene, but don't worry. I'll try to come back quickly." Sharon nodded with a smile and decided to sleep a little more. A few hours later, she was preparing breakfast. Andy came back later than she expected. She put a cup of coffee in front of him and sat across from him with a cup of raspberry tea.

"Andy, I think that the investigation was more difficult?" she noted. Andy sighed, answering, "Definitely. How are you feeling this morning? I hope better." Sharon smiled softly and took his hand, saying, "Perfect. Ready to work." Andy nodded slightly dissatisfied, but he knew how hard is Sharon. He went into the bedroom to take his phone. Sharon continued reading her magazine when someone knocked on the door. She cautiously opened the door and her eyes widened, seeing Nicole before her. Her nose was bleeding terribly and she had a bloody scars on her arm.

"Nicole? My God! What happened?"
