Chapter 32
A few months later, Sharon and Andy were finally managed to find their happiness. Sharon was happy with the man she loves and their little son. For several days now, Sharon had begun to work again. Her maternity leave was over and as Rusty almost wasn't home, they had a babysitter to take care of Nicholas while they were at work. The problem was just that. The babysitter was younger than Sharon and that made Sharon feel awkward seeing Andy close to her. She knew very well that Allison is only a babysitter and that Andy loves her anyway, but she couldn't ignore this fact. Andy, however, tried to reassure her. One morning, Sharon was preparing breakfast while the babysitter - Allison was taking care of the little boy. Rusty had decided to be with friends for the weekend, while Andy was getting ready for work in the bedroom.
"Allison, don't you get tired? I mean that you're taking care for Nicholas for almost a month. You're young and maybe you need some privacy." Sharon said approaching her. Allison smiled softly and looked at Nicholas, who was smiling softly.
"No, Sharon. I feel well enough. I don't have a boyfriend and I love to spend my time with children. I've been a babysitter for many children like Nicholas. You know, your son is awesome. In fact, I'd like to have a son like him. " she replied softly. Sharon nodded slightly.
"Very well. Then I hope you find this happiness. Being a parent is a wonderful thing." Sharon added. At this point, Andy joined them. He kissed Sharon gently on the lips. Allison couldn't conceal the fact that Andy Flynn is quite attractive man and she was jealous that Sharon owns him.
"How are you ladies?" he asked with a smile.
"Very good. A little while ago I spoke with Lieutenant Provenza. He waits us in a crime scene." Sharon responded immediately. Andy sighed and shook his head. He took his son in his arms, kissing him gently. Sharon smiled softly while Alison watched them with anger and jealousy. She couldn't bear the fact that Sharon has so nice family.
"Allison, you know. If there is any problem, call us." Andy said, handing Nicholas to her. Allison smiled and took his hand on purpose. Sharon could feel it, but maybe she was wrong, who knows ...
"Don't worry, Mr. Flynn, Nicholas is like my son." she said with a smile. Andy grabbed the keys and handed Sharon's coat to her. Sharon kissed her son dearly and she and Andy went to work. Alison loved children. Yes, she loved Nicholas as her son and she had one goal - to win Andy and be a family together with him and the little boy. She wanted this happy family and Sharon was a surplus for her. A few minutes later, Sharon and Andy arrived at the crime scene. The whole team could feel that their captain was quite distracted lately. Andy suggested that it was just fatigue, but Sharon thought otherwise. Returning to the department, Sharon immediately went into her office while Andy sat at his desk, looking at some documents. Provenza sat on his desk with a cup of coffee and looked at his friend.
"Flynn, don't tell me that you have a new problem with the captain." he said sarcastically. Andy looked at him confused.
"Of course not. How do you think that? We're about to get married. Well, I hope it will be soon." he said dreamily and smiled. Provenza sipped his coffee and looked at the office.
"But I think the captain has a problem. Recently, she behaves quite strange. Don't you think?" he pressed. Andy took a deep breath and shook his head.
"No, that's nonsense. Sharon was tired from work. We have a babysitter and she takes care for Nicholas as her son. She's pretty good. Alison is a great babysitter." he said proudly. Provenza nodded doubtful. As if he felt that the problem is related to this babysitter Alison. While the team worked hard, Sharon sat at her desk thoughtfully. She didn't stop to think about Alisan. Basically, she was worried about her little son. That doesn't give her peace. She grabbed her phone and decided to call Alison to see if everything is okay. After the talk, she sighed with relief. Maybe she was wrong and perhaps Alison was really good babysitter. But she wasn't sure, though. On the other hand, Nicole and Dean wanted to go on holiday and Dean wanted to ask Alison if she could take care of the boys in this weekend. But Nicole was against it. She didn't want Alison to take care of the boys and her little brother. She felt that Alison has something different. She had similar conversations with Sharon about it and she could recognize the fact that Alison is not what she seems.
"Dean, understand me. I don't like Allison as a babysitter. I had an argument with my dad about it. I don't want she to take care of my brother or the boys." she said firmly. Dean took a deep breath and shook his head.
"Nicole, what's the problem? She's just a babysitter." he protested.
"Dean, understand me. I don't want Allison. Yes, maybe she is a good babysitter for you and Dad, but not for me or Sharon." she said with anger and walked to the bedroom. During this time, Rusty was back home and he was trying to understand what kind of babysitter is Alison. Even he could feel something that repulses him from her. He took his little brother in his arms and looked at Alison carefully.
"Hey, Allison, aren't you too young to be a babysitter?" he asked suspiciously. Allison smiled and shook her head.
"Of course not. I'm 35 years old. Besides, I like to spend my time with children like Nicholas. I love my profession." she assured him. Rusty nodded with a smile and kissed his brother on the cheek. However, he didn't like Alison at all. All afternoon, Sharon thought about it. She didn't stop to think about Allison. Fortunately, Andrea had visited her, as she needed to talk to her and ask for advice. Andrea didn't believe that Allison may have feelings for Andy, but Sharon insisted that it looks like this.
"Sharon, this is almost impossible. Why Allison may have feelings for Andy?" she asked, confused. Sharon sighed wearily and pulled her glasses with trembling hands.
"Andrea, believe me. I feel it. Especially when Alison is close to Andy. However, she is quite beautiful and young. I'm afraid that Andy ... Okay, I admit. Maybe I exaggerate, and I know that Andy loves me. " Sharon said thoughtfully. Andrea hushed quietly and squeezed her hand.
"Well, Sharon. Calm down. Look, if this was the case then you will find another babysitter. But whatever happens, Andy will always love you." Andrea assured encouragingly, wanting to reassure her. Sharon nodded with a smile. She had no doubts. Andy loved her with all his heart and soul. But she had no faith in Allison. As if the atmosphere in their home had failed after she'd come as a babysitter for Nicholas. But she had to find a solution immediately. In the evening, Sharon was getting ready to go home. Andy went inside and closed the door tightly. Sharon smiled softly as he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her gently on the lips.
"How is my capricious captan?" he asked facetiously. Sharon smiled slightly and stroked his face.
"Andy, stop with these jokes." she said, frowning. Andy kissed her cheek apologetically.
"Well, I promise. Uh ... You know, Provenza told me that you have a problem. Specifically, he sensed something. But I know that you have no problem. It's just fatigue." he said calmly. Sharon backed away and shook her head thoughtfully.
"I'm not so sure. I mean I'm distracted. Look, I think of the babysitter. I think we need to find another babysitter." she said firmly. Andy's eyes widened.
"But why? What is her mistake? She loves our son and she takes good care of him. Why do we need to find another babysitter? I think Alison is very good at her job and she's a pro." he said, confused. Sharon took a deep breath and bit her lip.
"Andy, understand me. I don't feel calm. She's been with us only a few weeks and as if she managed to ruin the harmony between us. Andy, I know that you love me but I feel and I can see that Alison has feelings for you. " she said heatedly. Hearing her words, Andy fell into shock. He couldn't believe that this is true.
"Sharon, this is crazy! Alison is too young." he said, frowning. Sharon sighed wearily.
"Andy, that's the problem. She is young and I am too old. And maybe you ..." she was unable to finish her thought. Andy shushed softly and hugged her comfortingly. He kissed her gently on the lips then looked into her green eyes.
"Sharon, stop thinking nonsense. I am here with you and our son. I managed to forget the bitterness. I only love you and will always love you. You're the only woman for me. You are my everything." he said softly and kissed her gently on the lips again. Sharon bit her lip and smiled ruefully, touching his face tenderly.
"Andy, forgive me. Maybe I'm wrong. Let's go home. I think I'm tired." she admitted. Andy nodded and handed her coat and her purse, then they walked home. They were eager to see their son. After Allison left, Andy took care of his son while Sharon and Rusty were preparing dinner together. Rusty, however, wanted to tell his mother what he thinks about the new babysitter, Alison.
"Mom, don't get me wrong, but I don't think Alison is a good babysitter. Yes, she loves children, but I think that she can't take care for Nicholas." he said quietly. Sharon took a deep breath and shrugged.
"Rusty, don't worry. I'll talk to Andy about it." she said firmly. Rusty nodded slightly. After dinner, Sharon and Andy were in their bedroom with Nicholas among them. Andy and Nicholas were fast asleep while Sharon couldn't sleep because she couldn't stop thinking about Allison. She looked at father and son, smiling. They were great together. She was grateful that a man like Andy is in her life. He was completely different from Jack, but she was afraid. After Allison's appearance everything had changed. She felt fear that she will lose Andy again and then because of a woman. The next morning, Sharon was getting ready for work as usual. During this time, Andy and Alison were talking in the living room. She approached them, but they didn't even notice her, because they were lost in conversation. Sharon couldn't bear the fact that Andy is so close to Allison. She squeezed his shoulder and smiled. Andy kissed her gently on the cheek. Alison gave a soft smile, holding Nicholas in her arms.
"I hope that everything is fine." Sharon said firmly. Andy nodded with a smile and looked at his son.
"Don't worry ma'am, it's okay." Allison assured.
"I discussed with Alison everything about Nicholas. She said how stubborn kid he is and I tell her how stubborn I was in my childhood. My son looks like me." Andy said proudly. Alison laughed and that made Sharon feel worse. She smiled slightly and grabbed Andy's hand, going to the bedroom. Andy was surprised and he couldn't understand what Sharon wants right now. She locked the door and stood against him, looking at him with anger.
"Sharon, what's happening?" he asked, more confused than ever. Sharon took a deep breath.
"You ask me? What are these scenes with Alison?" she asked angrily. Andy rolled his eyes, dissatisfied and shook his head.
"Sharon, you're too jealous. She's just my son's babysitter. What do you want me to do? Do I stop to talk to Allison because of your stupid thoughts? Sharon, stop. I can't stand more. Stop blaming me. Neither me nor Allison. She's like my daughter. " he said unhappily. Sharon laughed derisively.
"Daughter? Don't be ridiculous. She doesn't you as her father, however. For her, you're handsome and attractive man. Nothing more!" she almost shouted. Upon hearing their dispute, Alison smiled contentedly. She wanted just that.
"Sharon, I can't believe that you say that! I love only you! Understand this once and for all." he said angrily. Sharon took a deep breath and tried to calm down. But despite everything she couldn't. Tears streamed down her cheeks and she sat on the bed. Andy squatted in front of her, looking at her sadly.
"Leave me alone, Andrew. Please." for the first time, she said his full name. It wasn't like her. Andy sighed wearily and decided to leave her alone, knowing that this little dispute could become a major conflict and scandal. Sharon had to find a solution to this problem immediately ...
