Chapter 9
Sharon was still crying, leaning against the wall near the interview room. She was there from the moment Andy had left. Lieutenant Provenza approached his boss, seeing that her condition isn't at all well. Sharon looked at him slightly sadly and wiped her tears. Provenza looked around and looked carefully at her.
"Captain, are you okay?" he asked anxiously. Sharon nodded slightly and took a deep breath.
"I'm fine, Lieutenant. Thank you." she replied hastily and walked toward her office, but Provenza stopped her because he could see that she wasn't at all well.
"Uh ... Captain, I think it would be much better if you go home now. You don't have to work so much in your condition." he said strictly. Sharon gave him a weak smile and nodded slightly.
"Lieutenant, sometimes a person doesn't feel any pain or fatigue, just void and nothing else." she said quietly and walked into her office. Provenza shook his head and shrugged. Although he supported his friend, he didn't want to see Sharon in this way. He decided to talk to Andy, even though he knew how stubborn he is. He decided to look for him and headed for the elevators. Sharon sat on her desk thoughtfully. She didn't know how to go home because Rusty was already there and she didn't know how to explain all this. She decided to ask advice from Andrea and send her a message. But unfortunately, Andrea was too busy and she couldn't answer. Finally, Sharon took her coat and her purse and decided it would be much better to go home now. She felt too tired. During this time, Provenza was looking for Andy, but he couldn't find him and he came back. Sharon arrived in the parking lot and got into her car. At that moment, she noticed that Andy is sitting in his car thoughtful and sad. But he hadn't yet seen her. Sharon decided to wait to see what Andy wants to do and why he is still here. Sharon moved against him with her car and stopped in front of his car. Andy looked at her coldly, not knowing why she does this. He got out of his car, then angrily Sharon also got and the two faced each other. Fortunately, in the parking lot was no one else but them.
"Are you crazy! What are you doing?" he asked angrily, but behind his words as if there was concern. Sharon took a deep breath and approached him, looking at him innocently.
"Andy, let's talk. I hate the fact that you shun me constantly. Why will not you understand that I'm sorry? I love only you and nobody else." she said softly. Andy laughed derisively.
"You love only me? Don't talk nonsense. If you loved me as I you, you'd never have betrayed me in this terrible way. What do you expect? To forgive you? No, Sharon, I can't forgive you. You lied to me terribly. I didn't expect this from you. But you hurt me deeply and believe me, my pain will not end just like that. " he said and swallowed the lump in his throat. Sharon's eyes filled with tears, but he was right. She put her hand on her belly and took a deep breath. Although he was very angry, he was worried about her condition. But he didn't want to ask her if she's okay. He just couldn't be the same Andy as before.
"You're right. I am a sinner and my sin is unforgivable. I know I did a mortal sin. I don't want forgiveness, I just can't stand this coldness between us. I'm sorry." she said softly, wiping her tears, trying to calm down. Andy rolled his eyes and put his hands in his pockets.
"Sharon, I believed you. I've started to love this child who is not even mine." he said with bitterness in his voice. Sharon shook her head and squeezed his shoulder.
"Don't say that. You know very well that most likely that child is yours." she said with tears. Andy stepped back and looked at her with anger.
"You're not even sure. I can't believe that you slept with Jack while we have a relationship. Well, maybe you made this mistake. But you could tell me. Maybe now we wouldn't be in this situation. " he almost shouted. Sharon bit her lip and sighed. She was ready to tell him what she wants, but at this moment Nicole approached them. She stood by her father tightly and looked at Sharon with anger.
"Dad, let's go. Here it is quite cold. Please, wait for me in the car." she said softly. Andy nodded and got into his car. Nicole approached Sharon.
"Sharon, are you happy? Because of your lies now my father is suffering. And not just he. I suffer too, because my father means a lot to me. If he is sad I am also sad. I didn't expect this from you. You lied to my father, saying that the child you expect is his. You're just a liar! " she said angrily. Sharon closed her eyes for a moment, tears were streaming down her cheeks.
"Nicole, believe me, I'm sorry. I love your father." she said sadly. Nicole shook her head.
"You hurt my father deeply. I will never forgive you." she said firmly, and got into the car, then she and her father left home. Sharon took a deep breath and wiped her tears, then got into her car and headed on the way home. During this time, Rusty watched a movie, wondering why Sharon and Andy hadn't yet come. He didn't know why he worries so much. A few minutes later, Sharon came home tired and threw the keys. She walked into the living room and Rusty immediately stood before her. He looked at her closely, and he could understand that she's not at all well. Sharon didn't know what to tell him because she was convinced that he would ask for Andy. No, she couldn't tell him that.
"Sharon, are you okay? You look pale. What happened? Besides, where's Andy?" he asked anxiously. Sharon took a deep breath and squeezed his shoulder.
"Rusty, let's talk tomorrow. Tonight I feel terribly tired. Please." She looked at him imploringly. Rusty nodded slightly, but he still cared about her. Sharon quickly went to her bedroom and locked the door. She needed to be alone. She sat on her bed and thoughtfully put her hand on her belly. Andy was right. Her mistake was unforgivable.
"Little one, your mother feels terrible. I don't know what to do and don't know how to withstand the pain. If Andy is your father? Then what will happen? Perhaps he'll never forgive me and you'll be without a father's love . Sorry, I didn't want that. Forgive your mother. " she murmured softly to the baby inside her. She lay on her bed carefully and tried to sleep. Suddenly, her phone rang. She immediately grabbed her phone, seeing that this is Andrea.
"Sharon, I'm sorry I couldn't answer you." Andrea said apologetically.
"Andrea, stop apologizing. I understand. You're not obliged to care for my life constantly." she said softly.
"Stop talking nonsense, Sharon. What happened? Is everything okay?" she asked softly. Sharon took a deep breath before answering.
"Not much. You know very well that nothing will be as before. Tonight I had an argument with Nicole. She's right, I hurt her father. And now, I don't know what to say to Rusty. He asks me about Andy."
"Sharon, calm down. Look, I think you should say everything to Rusty. He lives with you and he probably worry about you. My advice is for you to calm down and talk to him as soon as possible." she said encouragingly.
"Thank you, Andrea. You are the only person who is with me at this difficult time, I am grateful." Sharon said softly.
"That's why we're friends. I'll see you tomorrow, watch out." Andrea said sternly, and they closed the phone. Sharon put her hand on her belly and closed her eyes, hoping to forget about the pain for a little while. Andy didn't want to stay with Nicole and Dean, so he returned to his apartment, where he wasn't going for months. He entered the dark apartment and threw his keys angrily. He sat on the couch thoughtfully. He couldn't stop thinking about Sharon. He knew that her condition is delicate, but he just was terribly angry because of her deception. He leaned back and closed his eyes. The next morning, Sharon made breakfast for Rusty determined to talk to him about her relationship with Andy. She put his breakfast in front of him and kissed him on the cheek, then sat across from him with a smile. Rusty however, could see that she was very distracted.
"Hey, Sharon, you told me that we'll talk this morning. I can understand that there is something strange about you. Andy's not here again. Where is he?" Rusty asked anxiously. Sharon took a deep breath and took his hand.
"Andy will not come back again. Everything between us is over." she said softly. Rusty's eyes widened.
"What? Why?" he asked immediately. Sharon rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"It's hard to say. I don't know how to explain." she replied sadly.
"But you're pregnant. I can't believe that he leave you like this." Rusty said angrily. He was abandoned by his mother and his father and now he couldn't tolerate such a situation, even if this is Sharon. Sharon took her purse and squeezed his shoulder, looking at him with a sad smile.
"Nothing is as you think. But don't worry, me and the baby will be fine. I think we have to live without Andy." she assured him and left. Rusty however, wanted to understand the whole truth and so he decided to talk to Nicole. She told him everything and Rusty just couldn't believe this terrible truth. Nicole closed her phone angrily and turning, she saw Dean, who looked at her questioningly.
"Nicole, what's wrong? You look angry." he noted with concern. Nicole took a deep breath.
"I am. I had to tell everything to Rusty. He wanted to know the truth and I think he has a right to know with what kind of person he lives." she replied curtly and walked to the bedroom. Dean closed his eyes for a moment and shook his head. He couldn't understand why Nicole gets angry so much. Yes, Andy was her father, but this issue was between her father and Sharon. On the other hand, Andy was sitting at his desk looking at his paperwork. Provenza decided to talk to him about Sharon and her condition last night, near the interview room. He looked around to make sure no one hears them.
"Andy, we need to talk about the captain." he said quietly. Andy rolled his eyes angrily.
"I don't want to know anything about her." he said angrily. Provenza sighed and squeezed his shoulder.
"Look, I am your friend and I will always support you. But last night I saw that Sharon is quite exhausted. Understand, she is pregnant and I am afraid it could be something bad happens. Don't tell me that you're not afraid about her state because I know that you still love her. " he said sternly. Andy took a deep breath and swallowed the lump in his throat.
"Yes, I still love her, but it never made me forgive her and get back to her." he said firmly and walked to the detective Sanchez. Provenza shook his head, seeing how stubborn is Andy. Several hours later, Sharon signed the important documents in her office. Detective Sykes walked to Andy's desk, handing him a folder. He looked at her confusedly and questioningly.
"What is this?" he asked indifferently.
"This is the folder which the captain wants. I'm too busy and decided that maybe you can give it to her." she replied hastily. Andy gritted his teeth in anger and grabbed the folder from her without saying anything more and went to Sharon's office. Sykes winked slightly to Provenza. In fact it was their plan. They wanted Sharon and Andy to reconcile. He went inside and Sharon was surprised very much. He threw the folder on her desk in anger and walked toward the door back but Sharon stopped him.
"Andy, stop." she said sternly, almost professionally. She came close to him. Andy turned to her and looked at her coldly.
"What do you want this time?" he asked sarcastically. Sharon took a deep breath and bit her lip.
"I know I'm guilty of everything, but I hate the fact that you treat me so cruelly. What do you want me to do? To give up my child?" she almost shouted.
"I never said such a thing. It's your child. I just said that I'm not the father. You lied to me, saying that the child is mine. You think I can forgive it all so easy and forget the pain? " he said angrily. Sharon took a deep breath, and feeling dizzy, she fainted in his arms...
