Chapter 54

Comatose - Part 2

"Sharon, wait, please!" Andy shouted, following Sharon toward the elevators. He took her hand and made her look into his eyes.

"Andy leave me. I can't believe it happened. It's terrible and I can't believe it. No, that's impossible." she said heatedly. Andy sighed wearily and rolled his eyes, dissatisfied.

"Sharon, we both wanted it. This is not a mistake, and you know this very well. This is love." he said firmly. Sharon laughed derisively.

"What happens between us will never be love Lieutenant Flynn. Don't forget that we're just enemies. I can't believe that I made the mistake of sleeping with you. I feel terrible. This is not love, it's a sham." she abruptly interrupted and wanted to enter the elevator but Andy wouldn't let her.

"Sharon, admit it. You love me. The eyes don't lie. You want to be with me and that's it. What's the problem? Why you run away from love?" he almost shouted. Sharon took a deep breath and shook her head.

"This is not love. You're just a colleague and friend. You offered me your friendship. I never would've thought I would have an intimate relationship with you, Andy Flynn. That's impossible."

"But why? Sharon, listen to me. I love you and yes, I admit. In the beginning you were just my enemy, but after a while, I decided that we can be good friends and forget about the enmity between us. When we started to go together to a movie and dinner I realized that this is love. Shar, it's not friendship and I love you. " he said softly and pressed his lips against hers, then kissed her gently, deepening the kiss more. Sharon stepped back and looked into his brown eyes, panting.

"Oh, my God. What am I doing ?! I'm a married woman." she said sadly. Andy shushed softly and wiped her tears.

"Sharon, you don't love Jack Raydor and everyone knows this very well. You want a divorce, but he was never around." He tried to calm her. She hugged him tightly and snuggled into his warm embrace. Andy smiled contentedly. He'd dreamed of this wonderful moment. He wanted to hold Sharon in his arms forever.

"I love you Andy. I love you." she whispered softly.

"Everything will be all right, Sharon. I will always be with you, whatever happens." he said softly and kissed her softly on the forehead.

Andy was asleep in the waiting room at the moment in which Provenza had arrived. He sat next to his friend and squeezed his shoulder. Andy opened his eyes and yawned.

"You're asleep here." Provenza said quietly. Andy looked around and shook his head.

"I don't know, thinking about Sharon, I just dozed off. But I want to go home to see Maddie and the twins. I need my children." he said bitterly. Provenza nodded and smiled.

"Very well. I'll be here, don't worry." Andy was grateful that he has a friend like Provenza. He quickly went home and went to check on Maddie, while Emily, Ricky and Nicole were in the living room. He had to reassure his daughter.

"Maddie, honey, your mother will be good. She'll come back to us." he said softly and hugged his daughter. Maddie smiled sadly and snuggled in his arms.

"Dad, I want to believe that Mom will be good, but my brother Ricky said that she must first wake up." the little girl said, confused. Andy sighed and kissed her softly on the forehead.

"Your brother is right, honey. Your mother is sleeping now. But it's a different sleep. No one can wake her before she requests."

"But why? Dad, tell Mom to wake up, please." Maddie said, pleadingly and tears streamed down her cheeks. Andy wiped her tears and swallowed the lump in his throat.

"I'll tell her, honey. Don't worry." After a few minutes, Andy went into the nursery and took the twins into his arms. Fortunately, at least they didn't understand what happened to their mother. He kissed the little babies gently and smiled muttering, "I promise you. Your mother will be fine and she'll be back here soon. She would never leave her children." he put the babies in their crib and turning, he saw Nicole. She approached her father and looked at the twins.

"Dad, I understand your pain. But Sharon will be good. She'll come out of this coma and she'll be good. She is strong and she can cope with that. Trust me. She'll come back for you and for her children . " she said firmly. Andy smiled sadly and hugged his daughter tightly.

"Nicole, thank you dear. You're everything to me now. What would I do without your support? By the way, how are Emily and Ricky?"

"They're trying to be good because of Maddie, but they can't. Dad, this is a terrible situation for everyone. We all wanted this day to be memorable and special for you, but ... Sharon didn't deserve this." Nicole said sadly and looked at Tony and Kate. Andy sighed wearily and shrugged.

"It's fate. No one knows what will prepare the fate." he said sadly, trying to hide his tears. A few hours later, he was back in the hospital. When Brenda came breathlessly, he was surprised.

"Chief, any news?"

"Yes, Andy. The man who shot Sharon is under arrest. Don't worry. Probably his sentence will be death. He will rot there. "Brenda said with anger. Andy sighed with relief. He wanted the most severe punishment for this idiot.

"This is the best news I could've ever received. Thank you Chief." he said gratefully and squeezed her hand. Brenda smiled slightly and looked around.

"So, Sharon's still in coma?" she asked cautiously. Andy bit his lip and leaned back.

"I feel terrible, and nobody can stop my pain right now. The only thing I want is Sharon to wake up and look at me with the same warm look." he admitted, wiping his tears. Brenda squeezed his shoulder.

"She'll be good. Very soon. We mustn't lose hope."

"I hate you Andy Flynn, I hate you! I lost our child just because of you!" Sharon yelled loudly. Andy looked at her in anger and grabbed her arm.

"Sharon, you know very well that I have no guilt. I also suffer. I can't believe that you were pregnant. My God."

"But I'm not. Andy, I lost our child forever. I lost our child. I feel like a fool." she almost shouted, crying and threw everything she had in front of her on the ground. Andy tried to reassure her, but he knew that was impossible. Her pain of loss was huge, but he also suffered an awful lot and she had to see that.

"Sharon, I'm sorry." he said quietly, wanting to embrace her.

"Don't touch me! Get out of here! Get out!"

Andy was constantly looking at his watch. The fact that Sharon gave no sign of her condition made him feel even worse. He again requested permission from the doctor and went to see Sharon. He kissed her hand and looked at her with a sad smile.

"Sharon, I beg you, come back. Maddie, the twins, Emily and Ricky need you. Your kids need you. I beg you, come back. I can't live without you. I love you. Forgive me for everything. I'm an idiot. I beg you, come back Sharon. " he said pleadingly, but he could see her pulse gradually decreases. He quickly called the doctor and he went out. Seeing her heart began to stop, as if his heart stopped. As if she wasn't breathing anymore...
