Suddenly she feels someone sitting next to her and sighs. She had a very busy day yesterday and today she had taken a day off, so she just wants to sleep for a while longer. They had been working on a difficult case the last four days and thankfully yesterday they had managed to solve it and close it. She managed to sleep four hours ago as her lovely husband had managed to persuade her to make love.

"Mummy, wake up!", she hears as she feels a tiny hand on her shoulder shaking her.

"What's the matter, honey?", she asks as she turns around to face her daughter.

"Mummy, wake up! It's my birthday today!", she tells her mother excited. She wanted her parents to wake up, to make her favourite breakfast and then open all the presents.

Yes, the little girl was telling the truth. Charlotte Elisabeth Flynn had her 5th birthday today. Every day she was looking more and more like her mother but there was one difference. She had her father's eyes and Sharon was so happy for that because whenever she looked her daughter in the eyes she could see her father.

"Yes, I know!", she sighs and looks at her daughter with a wide smile. "Happy birthday, my little sunshine!", she hugs and kisses her. "Mummy and daddy need to sleep for a little longer. So, what do you say about staying here with us?", she raises her eyebrows.

"Okay, mummy!", Charlotte stands and gets settled between her parents. She giggles when her father turns around and hugs her while he is still sleeping.

Sharon couldn't blame her husband for wanting to make love last night as they hadn't made love for almost two weeks. They had a couple of difficult cases and that meant busy and long days. A few times Charlotte had appeared in their room because she had had a bad dream. So, Sharon Flynn made love with her husband, even thought she was very tired and then slept peacefully in his arms.

She smiles as she watches her daughter drifting off to sleep again in the arms of her father. Yes, her little girl had her birthday today but she didn't know that they were organizing a surprise party for her. She was going to spend the day with her parents but in the afternoon she would wear her best dress and have a party. She was going to celebrate her 5th birthday with her parents, her sister, her brothers, her uncles and aunts. Smiling she drifts off as well.

They had started looking for a new house two months after Charlotte was born. The condo was small for them now that they had another child. Thankfully, it took them only a month to find the perfect house for them and only another month to decorate the house and move inside. It has two floors. In the first floor there is a big living room, a dining room, a big kitchen, an office for Sharon and Andy and a small bathroom. The living room was very big, so they turned a part of it into a small playroom for Charlotte.

The second floor has four bedrooms. The master bedroom has its own bathroom and a big closet as Sharon wanted. The bedroom closer to it is Charlotte's since they moved in the house while the one next to it is Rusty's. They kept the fourth one as a guest bedroom. At the back there is a big garden where they have parties and barbeques with their friends. It was the place where they were going to have today's birthday party for Charlotte.

Emily and Ricky had both moved back to L.A. completely a couple of months after their baby sister was born. They had discovered that they wanted to come home and be close to their family. Emily was sleeping with her sister until she got engaged a year ago and started preparing a new house for her and Christopher. They got married six months ago and they were happy. Ricky was sleeping with Rusty until he left and moved in with Anna, who was his fiancé, in a new apartment a year ago. Rusty was dating Simon for six months now. Sharon and Andy were glad that their children had found good and kind partners.

They couldn't wait until the grandkids started coming. Although, they are already had two grandsons and a granddaughter from Nicole while she was six months pregnant again. Sharon knew that it would be a little bit different when her daughter or her sons had children because it would mean that they were old enough to have their own family. There were moments she thought that they were too old to have another child and maybe they were wrong in keeping her but every time she watched her daughter play happily or looking at her and smiling, every doubt she had disappeared. In the end of the day she was grateful for having four healthy and wonderful children.

She wakes up sometime later by a kiss on her lips and a kiss on her cheek. She doesn't move or opens her eyes, she just enjoys the moment. She, finally, opens her eyes when Andy kisses her again on the lips. "Good morning, darling!", he tells her with a smile.

"Good morning, love!", she smiles at him and sits up on the bed.

"Mummy. Mummy.", Charlotte shouts as she starts jumping on the bed. "Daddy and I made our favourite breakfast. So get up, mummy.", she says and continues jumping.

"Charlotte, honey. Why don't you go wake up your brother?", Andy tells her grinning.

"Yeahhhhhhh…", she jumps out of the bed and runs. "Rustyyyyyyyyy…", she shouts at her brother making her parents chuckle.

"That was an excellent idea. Thank you.", she grabs his shirt and pulls him in bed next to her.

"Well, I wanted to be alone with you for a few minutes before our daughter has all of our attention for the rest of the day.", he says and start kissing her. They laugh upon hearing Charlotte shouting again at her brother and they continue their kissing.

"You know that sending her to wake me up is torture, right?", they pull apart and chuckle when Rusty practically drags his feet and sits down on the end of the bed. "She has so much energy.", he tells them trying to sound annoyed.

"Rusty, are you angry?", Charlotte asks him with tears in her eyes while standing in front of him.

Rusty looks at his sister for a moment. She was ready to start crying and he couldn't let that happen. "Come here, Char.", he says smiling at her. He is the only one that calls her that and she doesn't let anyone else call her that. She walks towards him and looks at him. He lifts her up and settles her in his lap. "I love you, my Char! Happy Birthday!", he kisses her cheek and hugs her tightly.

Their parents look at them with smiles on their faces while Sharon has tears in her eyes. Rusty had come a long way since he came to live with her. He loved and was very protective of his little sister. There would be times that only him could calm her or put her to sleep after reading the book she had chosen. They had a very close relationship of siblings and she was so glad for that.

"Mummy, are you crying?", Charlotte's question brings her back from her thoughts.

"They are happy tears, honey.", she smiles at her. "I remembered the day you were born.", she catches her son's expression and smiles at him.

"Come on, Char. Let's go get ready, so mom and dad can get ready as well.", he smiles at his parents and leaves the room with his sister in his arms.

"I love that boy so much.", Sharon says as a few tears fall freely from her eyes.

"He is a good and king young man.", he kisses her softly on the lips. "Let's get ready while our kids are occupied.", he kisses her once more and drags her out of bed.

Sharon stops and sways a little when she stands up. Andy turns around to see why she stopped and gets worried when he sees her swaying. "Sharon!", he quickly wraps an arm around her waist and helps her sit back down on the bed. "Sharon, are you alright?", he is very worried now. "Should I call a doctor?", he doesn't know what to do.

"No! No doctor. I'm fine. I'm fine, Andy.", she takes a deep breath. "It was just a dizzy spell. I'm fine, love.", she keeps taking deep breaths. Actually, she was a little worried herself. Yesterday she got dizzy while leaving the morgue with Louie and he had helped her sit down. She made him promise that he wouldn't tell anything to Andy.

She knew that she couldn't be pregnant again. After Charlotte was born, the doctor had told her that she couldn't get pregnant again. It was alright with them. She didn't know if she could go through the same for a fourth time because it would be a lot more dangerous for her and the baby. She decided that she would go to the doctor if she didn't feel any better.

She takes a deep breath and using his arms for support, she stands up from the bed again. She is relieved when she doesn't feel dizzy again and smiles at her husband. She leans in his arms and closes her eyes. It was what she needed for, a moment to gather herself. "Let's get ready.", she says a few moments later and takes his hand.
