A/N: Sorry for the delay. I hope you like it! Please review.


Sharon was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Rusty sleepily sat down. Sharon kissed him on the cheek and gave him the breakfast.

"Thanks Mom." he said softly and put his hands on his head. Sharon looked at him carefully and sat beside him.

"Are you okay?" she asked anxiously. Rusty sighed and rubbed his eyes.

"Mom, I just feel tired." Sharon kissed him on the forehead.

"Rusty, you're warm. I think you have a temperature."

"Mom, please, I'm fine." he insisted.

"No, Rusty, you can't go to college in this state." Sharon said sternly. Rusty sighed wearily. At this point, Andy came into the kitchen.

"What's happening?" he asked, confused by their cries.

"Rusty has a temperature. I told him he should be at home, but he ...-"

"I feel good." Rusty insisted again. Andy put his hand on his shoulder.

"Rusty, listen to your mother. I think you need to rest at home." Rusty rolled his eyes dissatisfied.

"Well I agree." He took his plate and went to his room. Sharon sighed wearily. Andy smiled slightly and took her hand. Sharon looked into his eyes sadly.

"It's hard to be a mother, right?" he smiled and snuggled in her silky hair. But the memories don't let Sharon. She stepped away from Andy. Andy felt confused. Why Sharon avoided him every time? Why she had this to him? Sharon turned her attention to the dishes before going to work. Andy looked at her questioningly. She tried to avoids his eyes. Suddenly he grabbed her hand and pressed her gently to himself. He looked into her green eyes were filled with tears. He stroked her face with his thumb.

"Sharon, what's happening? Why are you doing this? Why constantly ignoring me? I am close to you, but at the same time so far away. I can not touch you, I can not kiss you. I no longer sleep together. What our relationship? " Sharon took a deep breath and wiped his tears.

"Andy, please, let me go. '"

"No, Sharon will not let you go before I explain all this. I want to know why you DURBAN this to me." he insisted. Sharon sighed.

"You want the truth? Well, you'll get it." Andy looked at her expectantly.

"Andy, I can't forget the pain. The pain of the loss, ruining me every day. I can't go anymore. Sometimes I can't even breathe. Knowing that I lost my baby ... I'm sorry . " Andy sighed and hugged her. He shushed softly and rubbed her back reassuringly.

"Sharon, I also feel the same things. I'm also ruined. For me, is too difficult. I want to forget, but it's not so easy. But I promise that I'll be always with you. Whatever happens. We'll be with you Sharon. " Sharon looked into his brown eyes.

"Andy, I can not continue this." Andy looked at her questioningly.

"But why? What do you mean?" Sharon took a deep breath and turned back to him.

"Andy, I can't continue this relationship. Please, understand me. After everything we've been through, I can't continue." Andy squeezed her shoulder.

"No, Sharon, don't talk like that. I love you. I know the loss of our child hurt you deeply, I don't feel good too, but we must continue together. I will always be here to support you. I love you and I can't leave you. " Andy said flatly. Sharon bit her lip and looked into his eyes again. She gently caressed and kissed him on the cheek.

"Andy, I love you, but I feel that if we continue this relationship will hurt each other more. I beg you, let's not see each other for a while." She looked at him imploringly. Andy closed his eyes for a moment. He hugged her and kissed her hair.

"I understand perfectly Sharon. But I will not leave you just like that. I love you, please, you can't think properly at the moment." he begged her, but she had decided.

"Andy, please. I know it's hard for me too. But if we aren't together, at least for a while, I think it will be better." She looked sadly. Andy sighed and took his jacket. He kissed her softly on the forehead.

"It will be as you want. But I'll not give up just like that. I love you." He left. Sharon sat on the couch thoughtfully. She looked at her watch. She knew that late for work, but if nothing mattered. She stroked her belly sadly.

"I would like to be with me. Why? Why did it have to happen?" she whispered softly to herself, then get ready for work and went to Rusty's room to check him. "Rusty smiled, seeing his mother." She sat beside him and kissed him on the cheek.

"Are you okay?"

"Better. You're late for work." he said. Sharon nodded and sighed.

"I know, but this is no problem. If there is something important, call me." she warned before leaving.


Several hours later, the team had done with another murder case. Provenza sighed and sat on his desk. He looked at Andy and saw the sad look on his face. He walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, Flynn, what's happening?" Andy took a deep breath.

"Nothing, I'm just thinking." Provenza nodded and sat down beside him.

"You know you can trust me. Tell me." Andy smiled sadly.

"I know that, thank you. I don't know if this is something ... -''

"Come on Andy, you'll feel better. Tell me." Provenza pressed. Andy closed his eyes for a moment and cleared his throat.

"Well, the point is that my relationship with Sharon isn't good. I don't know what to do. Ever since she lost the baby, she keeps away from me, and this morning she told me she didn't want to see me for a while. I love her Provenza, I can't live without her. I'm so close, yet so far away. " Provenza heard his friend and squeezed his shoulder.

"Everything will be okay Flynn. She's just still in shock. The loss was sudden and it was a big shock."

"I know that, but don't know how to stay away from her."

"If she wants it, you will do it. But I'm sure everything will be fine." Provenza tried to reassure his friend. Andy nodded slightly. At this point, Andrea went to Sharon's office when she saw Andy, who sat thoughtfully with Provenza. She came to them.

"Andy, are you okay? You look pale." Andrea asked anxiously. Andy smiled slightly.

"I'm fine Andrea. Don't worry."

"I hope so. Where's Sharon?"

"In the office as usual." Provenza answers. Andrea nodded and walked into the office. Sharon smiled seeing her friend. She hugged her hard. Andrea sat beside her while Sharon took off her glasses.

"Sharon, is everything okay?" She took a deep breath and looked sadly.

"Actually, I don't know Andrea. I'm so confused." Sharon admitted. Andrea took her hand reassuringly.

"Tell me, Sharon. ''

"Andrea, since I lost my baby, I feel bad. I feel that I can't continue my relationship with Andy. This morning I told him that I don't want to see him for a while." Andrea's eyes widened.

"But, Sharon, why are you doing this? He loves you and supports you. He wants to be you." Sharon sighed.

"Andrea, please. I just want to be alone for a while. I want to think it." Andrea nodded and rubbed her back.

"I understand. The loss was enormous. But Andy also not good. He also feels bad. He really wanted this child." Sharon nodded slightly.


On the other hand, Nicole watched a movie in the living room with her mother. Jennifer sat thoughtfully. Nicole looked at her mother and saw her anxiety. She sat closer to her and put her hand on her shoulder.

"Mom, what do you think?" Jennifer sighed wearily.

"Nicole, I think of Sharon and Andy. Nevertheless, they don't deserve such a severe punishment. They lost their unborn child. This is awful." Nicole nodded slightly.

"You're right, Mom, and Dad is going through it a second time. Today I'll visit them. I want to give courage to Sharon." Jennifer smiled and took her hand.

"It's very good. I'm sure that Sharon and Andy will be glad to see you." Nicole nodded with a smile.


In the evening, Sharon put her documents in her drawer. She took her jacket and purse. She looked toward the door, where Andy was standing. She sighed wearily and sadly. She looked at him coldly.

"Sharon, can we talk?" he asked reliably.

"Andy, I think we talked enough." she interrupted sharply. He approached her and grabbed her hand.

"Sharon, please." She nodded slightly.

"Well, let's talk. "

"Sharon I'll take you home." he insisted. When they arrived in the parking lot, Sharon suddenly stopped.

"Andy, no need to drive me home. Let's talk here." Andy sighed wearily.

"Okay. Sharon, you really don't want see me? I mean, that during the work, we'll see each other." Sharon took a deep breath.

"I know Andy. But don't worry. I just want to rethink our relationship, nothing more. Give me some time." Andy smiled slightly and kissed her gently on the lips.

"I love you." Sharon's eyes filled with tears.

"I love you too." She pulled away slightly and looked at her watch.

"Today, I worry a lot about Rusty. I have to go." Andy nodded slightly.

"Are you sure don't want to drive you?" Sharon smiled sadly.

"No, I'll handle it. Good night."

"Good night." he whispered softly, watching Sharon away in the dark.


After about 1 hour, Sharon came home tired and saw Rusty and Nicole in the living room.

"Oh, Nicole, what a nice surprise." Sharon said and hugged her. Nicole smiled softly.

"I decided to visit you. Where's Dad?" Sharon sighed thoughtfully.

"Rusty, you okay?"

"I'm fine Mom, I'll be in my room." he said, leaving them alone. Nicole looked at Sharon carefully.

"Sharon, I feel that you're hiding something. What is it?" Sharon took a deep breath.

"Just, Nicole, I feel bad since I lost my baby and I feel that I can't continue my relationship with Andy. This morning, I asked him to not see each other for a while. Nicole was surprised.

"But, Sharon, why? My father suffers a second time. Mom had lost my unborn sibling. Now you also lose the baby and Dad ruined double." Sharon nodded sadly.

"I know that Nicole, really sorry. But I just need a little time to rethink everything." Nicole nodded and took her hand.

"I know you will make the right choice." Sharon smiled and squeezed her hand.


At night, Sharon couldn't sleep. All these problems and thoughts ... She was very restless. She wondered whether she was done well, shunning Andy. She had so much need to talk to him, of his support and consolation right now. She rubbed her eyes and gently picked up the phone in her hand. She wanted to talk to Andy, but she had no courage. Meanwhile, Andy was lying on his bed, holding the phone in hand. He also needed to talk with Sharon. Suddenly his phone rang. Seeing Sharon's name on the screen, he smiled.

"Sharon ..." his voice trembled. Sharon sighed.

"Andy, I need to talk to you. '"

"Is everything alright?" he asked anxiously.

"It's all right. Don't worry. '"

"Oh, I'm glad then. How's Rusty?"

"He's fine, he has no temperature."

"Great." said Andy.

"Andy, I'm sorry to bother you at this time. ''

"No, Sharon, I'm so glad that you called. Time doesn't matter. I miss you." he admitted.

"I miss you too."

"Sharon, I sometimes wonder how I argued with you before. You're a wonderful woman, mother and friend. You're everything to me. I love you." Sharon smiled.

"Perhaps these disputes were the beginning of a strong relationship."

"Sharon, I just want you to know that I love you with all my heart. ''

"I know. I love you. Good night Andy."

"Good night dear." they closed the phone. Sharon put her head on the pillow thoughtfully. She didn't know whether she has made a good decision, but she was convinced in one: she loved Andy with all her heart.
