Chapter 4
Sharon was about to faint, seeing Jack and Andy against each other. She knew very well what kind of idiot is Jack. She just knew that he was able to ruin everything. He could tell the truth to Andy and she just was trembling. Andy glared at Jack, then looked to Sharon who looked pale. Jack, however, was drunk and Sharon could feel it. When he was drunk, he was talking nonsense. Perhaps he didn't remember anything.
"Sharon, are you okay?" Andy asked immediately and took her gently. Sharon took a deep breath and nodded, then looked at Jack. Andy stood in front of Jack, looking at him with indescribable anger.
"Jack Raydor, what are you doing here?" he asked sternly. Jack leaned against the wall and laughed mockingly and looked at Sharon.
"So, this is my child? You're crazy Sharon! You have a relationship with Andy Flynn and you blame me saying that this child is mine?" he said sarcastically. Sharon fell into shock seeing that Jack remembers everything, even though he was drunk. Andy's eyes widened. What the hell was talking Jack? He looked at Sharon confused.
"Sharon, what says this idiot?" he asked angrily. Sharon took a deep breath and her eyes filled with tears.
"Andy, he talks nonsense. Look, he's drunk as usual and he really doesn't know what he's doing. Believe me, I don't know from where he knows that I'm pregnant." she told another lie. Lie after lie. But right now, she wasn't ready to say the truth. She felt horrible, but she had no choice. Andy sighed with relief and was able to drive Jack out. He closed the door tightly and suddenly, Sharon fainted into his arms. Andy immediately took Sharon in his arms and brought her into the bedroom. Fortunately, Rusty slept in his room and he hadn't heard this terrible scandal. Knowing that Sharon's pregnancy is high risk, Andy was filled with fear, seeing that she fainted. He watched her carefully for a few minutes then Sharon finally opened her eyes and looked at Andy, sadly. He squeezed her hand and kissed her softly on the forehead.
"Sharon, honey, how are you feeling?" he asked softly, stroking her hair. Sharon took his hand and swallowed the lump in her throat, remembering what had happened.
"Andy, Jack ..." she tried to speak, but she really had no power. Andy hushed quietly.
"Sharon, I chased this idiot out, don't worry. Of course I believe you and I have full confidence in you, trust me. I know you love me and that you never lied to me." he said firmly. Sharon took a deep breath and bit her lip. She cursed the moment when she was with Jack again. And now she lied endlessly despite the forthcoming consequences.
"Andy, I want to ask you something. Something very important to me." she pressed. Andy looked at her confused but nodded with a smile.
"Ask me darling, I can answer you." he assured her. Sharon took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a moment. She looked into his brown eyes and touched his face gently with a sad smile.
"Andy, whatever happens, even I can allow a mistake, no matter what happens between us ... Could you love me as much as now? Tell me, I need your answer to be calm." she said quietly, tears were streaming down her cheeks. Andy couldn't understand her confusion issue. He smiled slightly and wiped her tears.
"I will always love you Sharon, believe me. For me, there is no other woman but you. I love you, you and our child. And I will always be here for you both." he said with a smile and put his hand on her belly. Sharon smiled softly and put her hand over his. At least for a while she'd felt better. Andy sat down beside her and took her in his arms gently rubbing her back soothingly. Sharon snuggled into his warm embrace and fell asleep, forgetting about all her problems. For her sin, for her lies ... The next morning, Andy made a special breakfast for Sharon to surprise her. Rusty joined him in the kitchen and grinned seeing him all in flour. Andy looked annoyed.
"Hey, kid, what's happening? Why are you laughing?" he asked, confused. Rusty shook his head.
"Why am I laughing? Lieutenant, look at you. You're covered in flour." he chuckled. Andy laughed and squeezed his shoulder.
"You're right, but I had to prepare breakfast for Sharon. While I bring her breakfast, you sit down at the table. Your breakfast is now served." he said contentedly. Rusty looked at the table and nodded slightly. He was grateful for Sharon and Andy's care. They took care for him as their child. They were different from his family. Now, as if they were his real family. Andy immediately went to the bedroom and stood before Sharon with the breakfast. Sharon opened her eyes slowly. She smiled softly, seeing Andy in front of her with breakfast. He sat down beside her and kissed her gently on the lips.
"You love to surprise me." she said quietly, looking at the romantic breakfast. Andy sighed wearily and looked into her green eyes.
"I just want you to show how much I love you. You're the most precious thing in my life." he confessed and kissed her again. Sharon smiled slightly and took his hand.
"I know that. I love my capricious lieutenant, but I know that he loves his captain very, very much." she joked. Andy hugged her tightly and snuggled in her silky hair.
"Well, Captain, it's time for your breakfast." he said sternly. Sharon loved his pancakes. He was just amazing in the kitchen. After breakfast in bed, Sharon also get ready for work and went into the living room to see Rusty, who was home today. She approached him with a smile and squeezed his shoulder.
"Uh .. Rusty, if you need anything, call me." she said softly. Rusty nodded slightly.
"Thank you Sharon, believe me, I'll do it if I need." he assured her. Andy also warned him to be careful as he was alone and he and Sharon went to work. In order not be bored alone, Rusty immediately grabbed his laptop to be able to watch a movie. Sharon again felt tired and she thought to go home early as yesterday. Now she sat at her desk, thinking about last night. She was grateful that Andy hadn't understood the truth - somewhat. Although she didn't want to lie to him, she wanted to continue with this lie at least until the baby is born and she is ascertain whether Andy is the father and whether Andrea is right in her thoughts. Andy walked toward the elevators with Provenza.
"So, last night Jack said these things?" Provenza asked confused. Andy took a deep breath and shrugged.
"Absolutely. I don't know why he said such nonsense, but I believe Sharon. I'm sure she tells me the truth. However, we have a relationship for several months and she doesn't love Jack." he explained hastily. Provenza however doubt. Although Jack Raydor was drunk, maybe he was telling the truth? Maybe he wasn't lying? No, he didn't want to be against his captain, but it was just weird.
"Andy, don't get me wrong. I'm your friend and I respect the captain. But don't you think that's strange? Although Jack was so drunk, he spoke so confidently?" he pressed. Andy rolled his eyes angrily and looked at his friend.
"What do you mean? That Sharon is lying and that I shouldn't have confidence in her? You're crazy." he said unhappily. Provenza sighed and shook his head.
"No, Flynn, I didn't say that. I just want to tell you that life is full of surprises." he said calmly. They got into the elevator, but Andy had begun to think over his words. In the meantime, Sharon explained everything to Andrea.
"Andrea, you can't believe what a shock I experienced, even I fainted. I feel terrible, but believe me, I don't want Andy to learn the terrible truth just like that. I don't know what to do." she admitted. Andrea hushed quietly and squeezed her hand.
"Sharon, calm down and stop thinking about it. Everything will be all right. But whatever happens, I'm sure that this child is Andy's. Andy is the father, realize this fact." she said firmly. Sharon took a deep breath and removed her glasses, then she leaned back thoughtfully.
"I'd like to be calm and to think like you, but I can't. I can't wait for the baby to be born and to figure out who is the father. I hope I'm wrong. I sincerely want Andy to be the father." she said reliable. Andrea smiled.
"He is." she said almost convinced. Later in the evening, Sharon was arranging her papers in the drawer and she was getting ready to go home. Suddenly, she saw Andy and smiled softly. He went inside and closed the door tightly. He approached her and kissed her gently.
"Ready to go?" he asked softly, looking into her green eyes. She nodded slightly.
"Yes, I think I'm too tired. I hate these hormones of pregnancy." she frowned. Andy grinned slightly.
"You know, Nicole tomorrow will be in LA and she wants to visit us. Dean and the boys decided to visit Dean's aunt and she decided to visit us. She's happy for our child." he said quietly. Sharon smiled.
"I guess. Being a sister after so many years would have been very difficult. Well, let's go?" she pressed. Andy nodded slightly and took her purse because he didn't want her to carry heavy stuff in her condition. After half an hour, Sharon and Andy were home. Now they dined with Rusty, who was pleased by the fact that Nicole will arrive in La. He had a chance to meet her a few months ago. Andy was happy because he wanted to share his joy with his daughter. But despite all this, Provenza's words wasn't coming out of his head. He was determined to talk to Sharon about it, but not right now. A few hours later, all went to their rooms for a good sleep. Sharon was finally able to sleep, but this time Andy hadn't slept all night. The next day, Nicole finally had arrived. She would stay with her father and Sharon about 1 week. She still couldn't believe that very soon she'll be sister. After so many years... She get along quite well with Rusty and Sharon and Andy were satisfied seeing it.
"Hey, Sharon, is probably quite difficult to be pregnant after so many years?" Nicole asked solicitously with a slight smile. Sharon put her hand on her stomach and shrugged.
"Yes, it is difficult somewhat. But I'm happy. The only thing I want is to hug my baby." she admitted with a smile. Nicole nodded slightly.
"When we'll know the sex? I'm pretty curious." she grinned. Sharon shrugged.
"Most likely after the third month." she replied immediately. While Rusty decided to bring the drinks, Andy decided to join his girlfriend and his daughter. Nicole looked at her father questioningly.
"Well, Dad, what do you want?" she asked immediately. Andy looked at his daughter more confused than ever.
"What? Nicole, I don't understand." he said honestly. Nicole laughed and took his hand.
"I want to tell you what you want. Boy or a girl?" she asked quite intriguing question, but the answer to Andy was pretty easy. He looked at Sharon with a warm smile and squeezed her hand.
"For me it doesn't matter and Sharon knows that. The only thing I want is my child to be healthy." he admitted. Sharon stroked his face as Nicole watched them with a smile and admiration. She'd never seen such a happy couple.
"I can see it. You are a perfect couple. Let's always be so." she said happily. Rusty bring the drinks with a smile.
"Come on, the drinks are here." he said contentedly and sat next to Nicole.
"Hey, Rusty, I'd like to talk something about the baby's nursery." Nicole said impatiently. Rusty nodded with a smile. Sharon could see how everyone is excited about the baby. She hoped she was wrong, that actually Andy's the father. At night, while all were in their rooms, and Andy was reading a book in bed while Sharon stood before the bathroom mirror, looking at her reflection. She touched her face and put her hand on her belly.
"Little one, tell me I'm wrong. Tell me that Andy is your father, not Jack. Tell me that your aunt Andrea is right. I really want it and I wish Andy to be your father." she murmured softly to the baby that was inside her and then lay in the bed next to Andy. He left the book and looked at her carefully. Sharon, however, could feel that he was distracted.
"Andy, what's up? You seem distracted." she noted with concern. Andy took a deep breath and shrugged.
"I think over Provenza's words. He said that even Jack was drunk, he couldn't say such things just so. Sharon, I believe you and I will continue to believe. But ... Tell me, I beg you. You love only me, right? This is our child and Jack lie, right? " he asked to be sure, looking at her sadly. Sharon swallowed the lump in her throat and looked at him sadly too. She didn't know how to lie to the love of her life. How long ...
