A/N: This is the thirty - sixth chapter! Sorry for the delay. Life keeps me busy. I hope you like it! And please review! I'll try to update quickly.
"What incident? Lieutenant, tell me please." Sharon asked several times anxiously. Andrea took her hand reassuringly.
"Captain, calm down. You have to come immediately to the hospital. I called Nicole, she'll also be here." Provenza said hastily.
"Well, I'll come immediately." Sharon said and hung up. She immediately grabbed her jacket before Andrea and Rusty stop her.
"Sharon, where are you going? What did say Provenza?" Andrea asked anxiously.
"Mom, you're scaring us." Rusty said, looking carefully at his mother. Sharon took a deep breath, her eyes filled with tears.
"Andy had an accident, he's currently in hospital. I have to go now."
"Well, Sharon, calm down. Don't worry, everything will be fine. We'll come with you. Everything will be fine." Andrea tried to comfort her friend, although it was not really possible right now. After about half an hour later, Sharon, Andrea and Rusty arrived at the hospital. Sharon, with quick steps approached Nicole and Provenza, who sat in the waiting room. Nicole weeping, embraced Sharon.
"My God, Nicole. What's going on? Why are you crying?" Sharon asked more worried than ever. Nicole couldn't answer. Sharon turned her attention to Provenza.
"Lieutenant, what's up? How's Andy?" Provenza took a deep breath and walked over to her. Andrea and Rusty immediately stood up to support Sharon.
"Captain, I don't want to worry you in this condition, but ... -'"
"Lieutenant, I'm fine. Just tell me what's happening." Sharon insisted. Provenza nodded and continued, "Captain, when we were on the crime scene one of the suspected criminals began firing. The bullet come into Andy's body, near his heart. Right now he's in surgery and ..." Provenza took a deep breath, "His state is critical. " Sharon felt slightly dizziness. Andrea and Nicole immediately caught her.
"Sharon, sit down. Calm down, you don't have to worry in this condition." Andrea warned her. Sharon sighed wearily. She couldn't believe what was happening. Nicole rubbed her back soothingly.
"Sharon, you're pregnant. Just calm down. Nevertheless, I'm convinced that Dad will be fine." Rusty sat next to his mother and took her hand.
"Mom, Andrea and Nicole are right. You have to be calm. I assure you that Andy will be fine." Although Rusty was saying those words, he was also very worried about Andy. He was like a father to him and he felt guilty because he hadn't fulfilled his greatest desire. But now that Andy was fighting for his life, he now felt that he was ready to call him Dad. Provenza looked at his watch. The surgery already went two hours and nobody said anything. He didn't want Sharon to worry. Suddenly his phone rang. He walked away to talk alone. Sharon put her head on Andrea's shoulder. Tears streamed down her cheeks, silently. Nicole and Rusty looked at each other.
"Sharon, are you okay?" Andrea asked anxiously. Sharon took a deep breath and bit her lip.
"Oh, Andrea. At the moment, I worry a lot about Andy. The surgery continues more than two hours, but no one has told us anything. I'm afraid." Sharon admitted, wiping her tears. Andrea hushed quietly and patted her on the back.
"Sharon, everything will be fine. The surgery is complex. Andy will be good. But now you have to be calm for the baby. Andy wouldn't want you to worry so much." Andrea said encouragingly.
"Sharon, do you want a cup of tea?" Nicole asked softly.
"No, thank you dear." After a few minutes, Provenza come to them.
"Captain, I just talked to Amy and Julio. They told me that they caught the criminal." Sharon sighed with relief. Provenza looked around. "Is there news of Andy?"
"No, unfortunately, we're still waiting." Andrea replied.
"This waiting is killing me." Rusty muttered angrily. Nicole squeezed his shoulder. At this point, the doctor came out of the operating room. Sharon immediately stood before him with Andrea and Nicole's support.
"How's Andy?" she asked with fear.
"I don't want to lie to you. The bullet is very close to his heart. He's lost a lot of blood and we now need to do a blood transfusion." the doctor explained hastily.
"I would give, but my blood type doesn't match with my father." Nicole said sadly.
"We're looking O- blood type. Do you know someone who has the same blood type?" the doctor asked. Rusty's eyes widened. Now he was able to help Andy as a true son.
"This is my blood type. I can give blood." Rusty said immediately. Sharon's eyes filled with tears. Nicole squeezed his shoulder.
"Rusty, thank you. '"
"Nicole, he's my father. I want at least now to help him." The doctor smiled.
"Mr. Flynn is lucky. Come with me." Rusty went with the doctor. Now everyone was more relaxed. Sharon, Andrea and Nicole sat in the waiting room.
"He's a great kid." Provenza said proudly. Sharon smiled and put her hand on her belly.
"I'm proud that Rusty's my son."
"I can't believe that Rusty has the same blood type." Andrea said with a smile.
"Me too. But now I'll not be able to thank him." Nicole said happily.
"I hope that everything will be all right. Especially when Rusty gave blood." Sharon said.
"Captain, I'll inform the team. Tell me about the development." Provenza said quietly.
"Don't worry, Lieutenant. We'll call you, as soon as we find something." Sharon assured him. Provenza nodded and walked away. Rusty had already gave blood. He looked at the nurse and asked, "My father will be good, right?" The nurse smiled and squeezed his shoulder.
"Don't worry. Your father will be fine." Rusty sighed with relief. Now he had a second chance. Now he had a chance to call Andy "Dad." Sharon and Andrea sat in the waiting room. Nicole had gone for coffee. Sharon patted her belly slightly and sighed. Andrea put her hand on her shoulder comfortingly.
"Sharon, you have pain?" she asked anxiously. Sharon smiled and replied, "No, nothing like that. Just the baby kicking furiously, perhaps it also felt it all." Andrea smiled and rubbed her belly gently.
"It's true. It kicks very hard. Come on sunshine, your dad will be fine." Sharon laughed.
"Andrea, you're like Andy, but the baby will not stop kicking me. You can't believe how many sleepless nights I have, but this feeling is wonderful. If I have to admit, I didn't have this problem neither Emily nor Ricky. They were pretty quiet, especially at night. But our baby doesn't stop moving. It calms me down because I feel that it lives inside me. "Andrea smiled and hugged her.
"Probably, this feeling is wonderful." Andrea said thoughtfully. Sharon looked at her carefully.
"Andrea, I want to ask you something, but ...-"
"Sharon, don't worry. Ask me." Sharon sighed.
"Andrea, you're so beautiful. You have a good career. But ... Don't you think to marry and have children? You'll be a wonderful mother." Andrea took a deep breath and said, "Sharon, of course I would like to have children. But I still haven't found the right person." Sharon nodded, seeing that Rusty is approaching them.
"Rusty, what's happening?" Sharon asked. Rusty sighed wearily and sat down beside them.
"Don't worry, Mom. The nurse assured me that he'll be fine." Sharon smiled and squeezed his shoulder.
"Rusty, you did something great. ''
"Mom, I just wanted to help him. He's a real father to me and I love him." Sharon hugged her son tightly.

On the other hand, the team continued to work hard. Provenza threw his folders and sat down at his desk thoughtfully.
"How's Lieutenant Flynn?" Amy asked.
"He'll be fine. He needed a blood transfusion and Rusty gave blood. I'm proud of this kid." Provenza said with a smile.
"This is wonderful. Andy always said that Rusty is like a son to him." Julio said.
"Yes, even a few days ago he mentioned that he wants Rusty to call him" Dad. "Mike added. Provenza sighed and looked at his watch.
"You're right, Mike. That's his greatest desire. Now that they'll become a real family, Andy wants Rusty to call him" Dad. "I've heard that Rusty isn't ready for this step, but I hope that he can do it. '"
"Oh, I'm sure he'll do it." Amy said with a smile. Provenza looked at his watch again and took his jacket.
"You go to the hospital, I guess?" Julio asked. Provenza nodded slightly.
"Yes, there's probably news from Andy. I'll call you when I learn something. Until then, look for information about the victim."
"Don't worry, we'll handle it." said Mike. Back at the hospital, Andy's doctor approached Sharon and the others with good news.
"Don't worry. Mr. Flynn's well. His condition is now stable and you can see him." Sharon sighed with relief.
"Thank you very much. This is the best news that I could get today."
"I'm glad that we found a suitable blood type on time." Andrea squeezed Rusty's shoulder.
"Now you can see him, but remember that he has to be careful. It was a major surgery." Sharon nodded slightly. The doctor went to his office.
"Mom, come in. We'll wait for Nicole." Rusty said with a smile. Sharon kissed him on the cheek and went inside. Andrea and Rusty sat in the waiting room to wait for Nicole. Andy smiled, seeing Sharon. She sat next to him and grabbed his hand.
"How are you feeling?" she asked softly, looking into his brown eyes lovingly. Andy sighed and replied, "Very well, don't worry. Especially when you're with me." Sharon smiled softly and kissed him gently on the lips.
"You can't imagine how scared I was of you." Sharon admitted. Andy squeezed her hand.
"Sharon, calm down. I'm fine. Everything's fine." Sharon nodded and sighed.
"Andrea and Rusty wanted to wait outside to report to Nicole that you're well."
"Oh, I'm convinced that Nicole and Rusty are very worried." Sharon nodded slightly.
"Yes, Andy. I want to tell you something else. Your condition was critical and you had lost a lot of blood. You needed a blood transfusion and we had to find a person with the same blood type." Andy looked at her questioningly.
"Oh, and who is this person? Who gave me blood?" Andy asked impatiently. Sharon took a deep breath and replied, "This person is very important for you. It's ... Rusty." Andy's eyes widened.
"Rusty? He gave blood?" Sharon nodded and smiled.
"He did something great. We had to find the right person with the appropriate blood type and when I realized that Rusty has the same blood type, I was surprised. I was glad and now I'm proud of my son." Andy's eyes filled with tears. He smiled.
"He ... he saved my life."
"Yes, you can't imagine how he was worried about you and how constantly repeating that you're like a father to him." Sharon said with a smile. Andy leaned back thoughtfully.
"Sharon, I'm grateful. Rusty is a true son to me." Sharon smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"I have no doubt about that." Rusty talked to Andrea in the waiting room.
"Andrea, I was very worried for him. You know how much I love him. He's like a father to me. I'm glad that everything's fine as before." Rusty admitted. Andrea nodded and took his hand.
"I know Rusty. You're like a real son to him. I hope that you'll now be able to fulfill his greatest wish." Rusty nodded slightly. At this point, Nicole and Provenza approached them.
"I met Lieutenant Provenza front of the hospital and we come together. How's Dad?" Nicole asked immediately.
"Don't worry. He's fine. Right now, Sharon is with him." Andrea replied with a smile. Nicole sighed.
"That's great news." Provenza said, happy for his friend.
"I can't believe that we experience all this." Sharon admitted thoughtfully. Andy hushed quietly.
"Sharon, it was an accident. It's okay. I don't want you to worry about in your condition. Dr. Nelson warned you." Sharon nodded slightly. She took his hand and put it on her belly.
"You feel?" she asked, grinning. Andy smiled and rubbed her belly.
"Sharon, it kicking very much." Sharon smiled.
"Yes. Especially when you were in the surgery. The baby kicked me furiously. Maybe it was also worried about their father." Andy smiled and continued to rub her belly.
"Little one, I'm fine. Don't worry. Now I can't wait to hug you." Andy said softly to her belly. Sharon smiled broadly. At this point, Provenza, Andrea, Nicole and Rusty went inside.
"Sorry to interrupt this special moment." Andrea grinned. Sharon and Andy laughed.
"My God, you're so funny!" Andy said.
"Well, Flynn, I see that you're very well. Even if you kidding us." Provenza said jokingly.
"Provenza, I feel good because you're with me."
"Yes, yes. I told the team. They also were glad for you. They want to visit as soon as they finish with the new case." Andy nodded slightly. Nicole immediately hugged her father and kissed him on the cheek.
"Dad, you're good, right?" Andy took her hand.
"Don't worry, dear, I'm fine. Everything's fine. ''
"Oh, I'm so happy. And all this thanks to Rusty. He gave blood in time." Nicole said with a smile. Andy looked at Rusty with a smile.
"I guess that Andy and Rusty need to talk in private." Sharon interrupted.
"I totally agree. We'll leave you alone. We'll be outside." Andrea said. Sharon kissed Andy on the cheek and went all out, leaving Andy and Rusty alone. Rusty stood by the door, staring at the floor. Andy sighed and said, "Rusty, come to me." Rusty nodded and sat down beside him. Andy took his hand with a smile.
"You give me blood in time. ''
"Yes, I wanted to do it. I could do it and I did it. I feel proud of myself because I wanted to do something for you. I owe you. You did a lot for me. All about with my biological mother and the other problems ... you were always with me. Now it was my turn. I'm very happy that I had this opportunity to help you. " Rusty said thoughtfully. Andy nodded slightly.
"Rusty, I'll always be there, whatever happens. As a father, because I love you as my son. You're my son." Rusty hugged Andy tightly.
"Thank you, Dad." Andy's eyes widened. He called him "Dad."
"Wait a minute. How do you call me? '"
"I told you dad and will continue to do. I love you, Dad. Thanks for everything." Andy hugged Rusty and kissed him on the cheek. He still couldn't believe it, but it was true. His wish had come true. Now they were a real family. Rusty called Andy "Dad." Andy was grateful that he has a son like him.
