Chapter 53

Sharon and Andy looked at each other coldly, until Provenza and Andrea were shocked by this situation. Andrea still couldn't believe that her best friend, Sharon was told everything to Provenza. She wouldn't want him to learn this way, and she didn't know what to say at this time. Provenza looked at Andrea with astonishment and then to Sharon that was completely calm. Andy, however, couldn't understand what is Sharon's purpose. He could no longer understand her strange movements.

"No, Captain, you have mistake. This can't be true. I don't think that Andrea might have some feelings for me, it's impossible." Provenza said, confused, believing that this is a joke. Sharon looked at Andrea, saying, "No, Lieutenant. What I did was completely true. Andrea has feelings for you, but she simply didn't dare to say it. So I decided that you also have a right to know." Provenza took a deep breath and sat down in his chair. Andy immediately handed him a glass of water. He was thankful that it was lunchtime.

"Sharon, why do you do that? Maybe I wouldn't tell the truth." Andrea said annoyed. Provenza sighed and looked at her, saying, "Enough Andrea. How long would you keep this from me? Even I don't have any feelings for you, you could let me share this." Andrea turned her head and looked down. She couldn't believe that the truth was revealed. Andy looked at Sharon with anger and decided to talk to her in her office. He took her hand and they went into the office, closing the door tightly and then the blinds.

"Sharon, why are you doing this? Now because of you, Provenza and Andrea will be enemies." he almost shouted. Sharon approached him, saying firmly, "I haven't done anything wrong. Andrea needed it. Yes, she may be mad now, but she could no longer hide this secret. Sorry Andy, but I think I did well saying the truth. Lieutenant Provenza has a right to know that. " Andy took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment.

"You know, Sharon, I already really can't understand you. You act so strange and unnatural. You get angry to Emily because of her relationship with Buzz, knowing that she wouldn't abandon her love. Besides, you shouted against Anna, which also I can't forgive. You never was like that. What happens to you? " he asked quietly. Sharon sighed wearily and sat on her desk. She looked at Andy coldly, but her eyes were full of tears. Andy looked at her carefully and sat down across from her.

"What do you want me to do? I feel terrible, Andy. I was wrong. I didn't have to yell at my daughter, she isn't to blame for my problems. Yes, I admit, I'm probably not as good a mother as before. Perhaps all these problems are too much. I'm tired of helping others to solve their problems. My problems? Them who will solve? Andy, you don't understand me. You might not feel anything, but I feel that there is some coldness between us. "She admitted. Andy knelt before her and made her look at him.

"Sharon, you very well know that whatever happens, I'll always be with you and will always support you. Do I need to let you repeat that? Please, calm down. I also regret that I yelled so bad, forgive me. Our nerves can no longer withstand. That's all. " he said soothingly and squeezed her hand with a smile. Sharon smiled softly and stroked his face. On the other hand, Provenza and Andrea were near the elevators because they didn't want the rest of the team to hear their conversation. Provenza cleared his throat.

"Uh ... Andrea, I don't know where to start. To be honest, I'm quite surprised and shocked to find out that you have feelings for me." he admitted. Andrea sighed and shrugged, saying, "Provenza, I know that's weird. But Sharon told the truth. I really have feelings for you, but I had no the courage to tell you because I knew you didn't feel anything for me." Provenza nodded slightly.

"I understand your concerns. And yes, you're right. I really don't have any feelings for you right now. I don't know if I'll ever fall in love with you or someone else, don't get me wrong. I don't want you to hope falsely. " he said anxiously. Andrea nodded and bit her lip, saying quietly, "I know that. Thank you, though. I'd be happy if we're good friends as ever." Provenza nodded and squeezed her hand, saying with a smile"Good friends."

In the evening, Emily and Rusty had already prepared dinner. They expect Sharon and Andy, along with Anna. However, Anna looked pretty sad, perhaps because of her mother. Emily knelt in front of her little sister with a smile, asking, "Hey, honey, what's wrong? Why are you sad?" The little girl looked down and shrugged. Emily took Anna in her arms and kissed her cheek gently.

"Soon Mom and Dad will be here, don't worry. In addition, don't forget that tomorrow you'll introduce your project in school. It'll be an exciting day for you." she said with a smile. Anna smiled slightly and hugged her sister tightly. Rusty smiled contentedly, seeing his little sister happy. Just then, Sharon and Andy went home tired. They went into the living room and were impressed seeing their children together. Sharon approached Emily and Anna. But for the first time, Anna was holding coldly to her mother. She didn't had embraced her for the first time. Sharon was feeling bad and she knew that she was guilty. She was offended her little daughter. Andy and Rusty looked at each other in confusion.

Sharon smiled softly, saying quietly, "Anna, honey, don't you want to hug mom? Anna shook her head and ran to Andy. He immediately took his daughter in his arms and kissed her softly on the forehead. He saw that Sharon feels bad by this fact.

"Anna, your mom wants to embrace you. Why will not you kiss her as usual?" he asked quietly. The little girl looked sadly at him, answering, "No Dad. She'll started shouting at me." At this point, Sharon immediately took Anna in her arms and hugged her tightly.

"Anna, look at me. I'm sorry I yelled so bad. Please forgive me. You're my daughter and I can't take you to be away from me." she said softly with tears in her eyes. Anna kissed her mother on the cheek, saying, "No, Mom. Don't cry. I know you didn't do it on purpose, I know you love me." Andy smiled contentedly. Emily and Rusty looked at each other, smiling, while Sharon again embraced her daughter, realizing once again how smart daughter, she has. After dinner, Andy was in the nursery with Anna and Nicholas, while Rusty had decided to leave Emily alone with her mother. Sharon knew that her daughter stay away from her and doesn't talk to her because of her relationship with Buzz. She took a deep breath and sat down beside her, looking at her carefully.

"Emily, you stay away from me and I know why. Because I don't accept your relationship with Buzz, right?" she asked anxiously. Emily took a deep breath and looked at her mother, answering firmly, "Yes, Mom. But I'm not going to be give up my love, whatever happens. We love each other and this is most important. You should know this from your relationship with Andy. You know very well that love wins. You wanted to divorce him, but you couldn't. Because once again, love wins. " Sharon looked at her daughter and nodded slightly. Nevertheless, she was right. Love really was stronger than anything else.

"I know very well Emily. But don't expect me to accept this relationship. Look dear, I don't want you to suffer. He's older than you and I think that's a good reason." she said sternly. Emily laughed mockingly saying "Enough Mom. I don't want to hear those things again. In addition, if you want to know something: I want dad to be here because I know that at least he would support me." Emily went to her room angrily, leaving her mother to look into the void. Sharon took a deep breath and leaned back. She couldn't believe that she had similar conversations with her daughter. Especially her last words had hurt her a lot. Tears streamed down her cheeks, remembering those terrible words. Emily would have preferred her father before her. She wanted a man who had never been with her. She went into the bedroom and looked at her reflection in the mirror.

On the other hand, Andy was reading the a fairy tale to Anna. Seeing that she was finally asleep, he kissed her cheek gently, then kissed his son before he went into the bedroom. But entering inside, he saw Sharon, who was sitting on the floor crying. He knelt before her and looked at her questioningly.

"Sharon, what's wrong? You look pale and you cry. Please tell me what's going on." He looked at her pleadingly. Sharon took a deep breath, answering softly, "All are against me, Andy, everybody. Even Emily chose her father to be alive than me." Andy shushed softly and wiped her tears.

"Sharon, don't talk like that. I'm convinced that Emily had said these words in anger. Please don't think about it. Come on, let's sleep, we need a good sleep." he suggested quietly and helped her lie down on the bed. Sharon closed her eyes and fell asleep immediately. Andy hugged her soothingly, hoping that tomorrow will be better.

The next day, however, Sharon felt that she needed to talk to Buzz. She immediately called him into her office for a long and probably tough conversation. Buzz stood against her, watching her carefully. Sharon looked at him coldly and motioned him to sit down, but he refused. Sharon stood up and approached him.

"I'm tired of talking about these things. Buzz, you know that I've always supported you in everything. Besides, you know that whatever happens I'll always help you." she said softly. Buzz nodded, saying, "I know, Captain, thank you." Sharon smiled slightly and continued, "Emily is my daughter and I'm really worried about her future as a mother. I want to say that I can't accept your relationship. But I want you to know that I'll try to decide about it. Please don't get me wrong. "

Buzz nodded and said, "Don't worry, Captain. I know you're a good mother and this is normal. But I want you to know that I really love Emily. Your daughter means a lot to me. I don't want give up on her and I swear that I'll fight to the end for her. " he came out of her office. Sharon took a deep breath and sat on her desk. She could really see their love.

Andy was sitting on his desk absently with Provenza. He squeezed his shoulder, asking, "Hey, Flynn, is everything okay?" Andy took a deep breath and shrugged, answering, "I don't know Provenza. I have problems with Sharon recently. And the reason is Emily and her relationship with Buzz. But Sharon really need to understand that they both will fight to the end, just like us. " Provenza chuckled and sat beside him.

"Incidentally, what's going on between you and Andrea?" Andy asked curiously. Provenza sighed and said, "I have no idea. But I told her that I have no feelings about her. I'm not even sure I'll fall in love with someone again. I just don't want to give false hopes." Andy nodded slightly.

Several hours later, Sharon and Andrea were out. Sharon needed fresh air and good company. Fortunately, Andrea wasn't angry at her. Sharon again talked about her problems, forcing Andrea to comfort her again.

"Sharon, calm down. I'm sure that everything will be fine." she said encouragingly. Sharon took a deep breath and shrugged, saying, "No, Andrea. Emily's words hurt me a lot. She chose her father than me. She would like him to be alive than I do." Andrea squeezed her shoulder.

"Sharon, please. Don't say that. I still have hope." she said with a smile. Sharon smiled and nodded slightly. She looked around and saw a man near her who was like Jack. She knew that he was dead and she thought that it was a coincidence, another man like him. He approached her and Andrea, but Sharon could see that he was really Jack. She fell into shock and her hands began to tremble. But how was this possible? He was dead. Andrea's eyes widened, seeing Jack alive before them. She looked to Sharon that could hardly say a word. That man stood in front of them - he really was Jack? But how if he's dead? Sharon looked at him confused and muttered softly with difficulty, "Jack, you're alive?"
