Chapter 34
Andy stood numb in front of Sharon. He couldn't believe that she accuses him this way. He took a deep breath and looked into her green eyes with disappointment. Sharon looked at him sadly. She didn't want to yell at him that way, but she was just out of control as ever.
"Sharon, I can't believe that you accuse me this way, knowing that I love only you." he said sadly. Sharon pursed her lips and shook her head.
"Andy, I'm sorry, forgive me. I didn't mean that. I'm just jealous. I lose control." she said apologetically and wept quietly. Andy shushed softly and hugged her tightly, rubbing her back soothingly. She snuggled into his warm embrace that gave her peace. Andy looked into her green eyes lovingly and kissed her gently on the lips.
"Sharon, calm down, it's all right. Let's forget about Alison and all other problems. We can be happy together." he said quietly. Sharon smiled softly and stroked his face tenderly. That was the only thing she wants. Andy regretted the fact that they should be looking for a new babysitter for their son. However, Allison was a babysitter for almost a month and he didn't know how to convince Sharon that he loved only her and that he had nothing to do with Allison. But he didn't want another conflict and he'd decided to talk to her the next morning. Sharon didn't feel particularly well. Yes, she was jealous awful lot and she lost control, but she was pleased with her decision. She was determined to find a new babysitter for their son at any cost. The night passed calmly. The next morning, Rusty surprise his mother and Andy with a good breakfast but he could feel the coldness between them.
"What happend kid? The breakfast looks wonderful. Incidentally, I hope that you have a good time with your friends." Andy said with a smile. Rusty sighed and nodded slightly.
"Yeah, it was pretty good. I wanted to see Nicholas, but mom said that he sleeps. Well, I don't want to wake him." he said, looking at his mother. Sharon sat thoughtfully. Andy looked at her and grabbed her hand.
"Hey, Sharon, are you okay? Do you want a glass of water?" he asked anxiously. Sharon closed her eyes for a moment and shook her head.
"There is no need Andy. I'm fine." she assured and looked at her breakfast. As if she wasn't in the mood to eat something after last night's conflict. Rusty was confused and he couldn't understand what was going on between his mother and Andy. At the same time, he wondered where is the babysitter, Alison.
"Uh ... Mom, where's Allison? You are late for work." he asked, confused. Sharon took a deep breath and looked at Andy, then turned her attention to Rusty.
"Rusty, last night I ... Allison will no longer be a babysitter for Nicholas. Me and Andy decided to look for a new babysitter. I think that Alison wasn't very suitable for the job. Don't get me wrong, I would not like to fire anyone . " she explained hastily. Rusty nodded and squeezed her hand, looking at Andy who shrugged. At this point, Nicholas began to cry and Sharon went into the nursery. Rusty decided to use the time to talk to Andy.
"Hey, Andy, Mom seems pretty distracted. What happens? I know that she didn't like Alison but I didn't think she would fire her." he remarked sarcastically. Andy took a deep breath and leaned back.
"I have no idea. Look, the truth is that Sharon doubt that I have a relationship with Alison." he said quietly. Rusty's eyes widened. Relationship with Alison? No, that was impossible.
"Relationship with Allison? No, it is not possible. Andy, mom knows very well that you love only her. How could she think such nonsense?" He frowned slightly. Andy looked around. He didn't want Sharon to hear.
"Rusty, believe me. I have nothing to do with Allison. She's like my daughter. She is like Nicole for me. I can't love Alison and especially to have a relationship with her. But I don't know how to convince your mother. She is quite jealous. " he said unhappily, and at this point, Sharon returned to the kitchen with Nicholas in her arms. Andy looked at her carefully and stood before her, looking at his son.
"Sharon, what's happening?" he asked several times. Sharon handed Nicholas to him and looked at Rusty.
"Andy, I can't go to work today. I want to take care of my son and maybe I won't be able to work for a while. At least until we find a suitable babysitter." she replied sharply. Andy and Rusty looked at each other with surprise.
"Sharon, are you sure? Rusty's here." Andy suggested. Rusty stood in front of his mother.
"Mom, Andy is right. I can take care of my brother." he said urgently. Sharon smiled and squeezed his shoulder.
"Rusty, believe me, no need. I want to be." she said firmly and turned her attention to Andy. He took a deep breath and kissed his son gently on the cheek, then handed him back to his mother. A few hours later, Andy was sitting at his desk thoughtfully. He couldn't concentrate on his work and the whole team could feel it. Lieutenant Provenza threw a folder on his desk and walked over to his friend.
"Don't tell me that you think about the case." he said sarcastically. Andy rolled his eyes, dissatisfied and took a deep breath.
"Of course not. I think about my future." Andy said sharply. Provenza looked at him confused.
"Hey, what do you mean? By the way, why the captain will not come?" he asked to make sure. Andy looked around and looked at the office.
"Last night, Sharon fired Allison and now we're looking for a new babysitter for Nicholas. And until we find, she won't come to work. You want some other response ?!" he almost shouted. Provenza hushed and squeezed his shoulder.
"Calm down, Flynn. Look, give the time to Sharon. She needs. Moreover, my advice is for you to ask her to go to dinner. Rusty can take care of his brother and thus, you can melt the ice between you . " Provenza suggested with a faint smile. Andy nodded and smiled upon hearing his friend's advice. Yes, it was a very good way to enable this ice, this coldness disappear forever. On the other hand Sharon sat on the couch watching a movie. Nicholas was asleep and Rusty had decided to be in his room. Despite everything, however, Allison didn't stop to think of plans. Now, she had a great run. She was ready to do anything to ruin Sharon and Andy's relationship. That afternoon, Andrea decided to talk to Sharon, but she couldn't see her in the department. She approached Andy confused.
"Hey, Andy, where's Sharon?" she asked heatedly. Andy sighed wearily and stood before her.
"Andrea, it's a long story. Look, last night Sharon fired Allison and until we find a new babysitter, she won't come to work." he explained quickly and put his hands in his pockets. Andrea sighed with relief - somewhat. She knew that Alison is a big problem for Sharon.
"Uh ... well, then I'll visit her. I'll see you later." she said quickly and walked toward the elevators. Andy shook his head and walked to the interview room where Detective Sykes was waiting for him. They had to question the suspect. After about 1 hour, Sharon and Andrea talked about last night's scandal with Allison.
"Sharon, I can't believe that you really fired Alison." Andrea said, frowning. Sharon took a deep breath and leaned back.
"Andrea, believe me. I had no other choice. But I couldn't bear the fact that Alison has feelings for Andy. I'm afraid I'll lose Andy and that he would leave me and our son, as Jack did years ago. I had to be a mother and father at the same time for Emily and Ricky. I just don't want this to happen again. " she admitted sadly. Andrea hushed and squeezed her hand.
"Sharon, calm down. Andy loves only you and it will be so forever. He is not like Jack and he will never leave you and your son. Stop thinking nonsense. Everything will be fine. Allison is no longer in the picture." Andrea said encouragingly. Sharon shook her head doubtfully. But she didn't know what problem will appear soon, again because of Allison. In the evening, Andy came home early because he needed to talk to Sharon for the dinner. He threw the keys and went into the living room, then sat on the couch beside her, looking at her in silence. Sharon didn't know what to say. She was speechless.
"You come earlier." she noted with sarcasm. Andy sighed wearily and took her hand.
"Sharon, stop ignoring me. We love each other and we can't be without each other. Look, I decided to devote my time to you. Tonight we'll go to dinner. Don't worry about Nicholas, Rusty is his brother and he'll take care of him. Besides, I talked to him. Look, let tonight be just ours. We need this. " he suggested and looked at her imploringly. Sharon took a deep breath and bit her lip. At this point, she didn't know what to say but in the end, she decided to agree. Later, Sharon and Andy were already at their favorite restaurant. They were here for the first time since Nicholas was born. Perhaps only now, they could understand how much time they've missed together. Andy wanted tonight to be only theirs, not knowing what awaits them after a while. He squeezed Sharon's hand and bent to kiss her. Sharon stroked his face and looked into his brown eyes lovingly.
"Do you remember, this is the restaurant that we came first before we were a couple." Andy said looking around and smiled. Sharon smiled softly and nodded slightly.
"How can I forget? This place brings a lot of memories. I would never have imagined that I would just fall in love with my annoying Lieutenant." she said cheekily. Andy pouted and took her hand.
"You know, you were the one that was annoying . You constantly was boring. But now, you're the woman I love and will always love." he kissed her hand gently while Sharon watched his movements. No, she couldn't hide the truth. She was madly in love with this man. Both had mistakes and they both knew it. Now they want to fix their mistakes. Andy was able to forgive Sharon for everything. Even for her unforgivable lie. While Rusty took care of his brother, Sharon and Andy spent a wonderful night together, until at one point, however, everything fails. Suddenly Andy's phone rang and he paled. Sharon looked at him carefully.
"Andy, what's up? You're pale." she noted with concern. Andy took a deep breath and looked at her innocently.
"This is Allison. She is calling." he said quietly, looking at his phone. Sharon gritted her teeth in anger. She couldn't believe that Alison has the courage to call Andy after all. Finally, Andy decided to answer.
"Alison." he said coldly.
"Mr. Flynn, I'm sorry to bother you, but I wanted to hear your voice one last time." she said, weeping.
"What? Allison, what do you mean? How did the last time? You leave somewhere?" he asked in confusion, while Sharon was trying to understand what was this conversation.
"Mr. Flynn, I took pills. I'm dying." she explained. Andy panicked and stood up, causing Sharon to worry even more. Andy hung up and took his jacket.
"Andy, what's happening? What did say Alison?" Sharon asked anxiously.
"Sharon Allison took pills. She is about to die. I'm going to the hotel where she remains. Call 911." he said quickly. Sharon was worried, though. She didn't want that. She immediately called 911 while Andy went to the hotel and Alison opened the door. Going inside, however, Andy realized that this is a plan. Allison was good and she was brought him on purpose - to ruin their night with Sharon. He looked around and saw his pictures. He almost fainted from shock. He could understand that Sharon was right for Allison. He turned to her and looked at her with anger.
"Alison, what is all this? You lied to me? Sharon was right about you. You're a liar. Besides, why my pictures are here ?!" he shouted. Alison hushed and squeezed his shoulder.
"Andy, I had no choice. I tried to explain but you didn't understand me. I love you. I want you. We can be very happy together. You don't belong to Sharon." she said, trying to kiss him, but Andy stepped back. He couldn't believe that Alison was talking nonsense.
"Alison, you're crazy! You need a psychologist! Don't come close neither to me nor to Sharon especially to my son." he said angrily and left. But Allison didn't intend to stop with her plans. Sharon was waiting for Andy outside the hotel. Andy informed the doctors that everything is fine. Sharon, however, was more confused than ever.
"Andy, how come it's okay? You said that Allison had taken a lot of pills." she asked, confused. Andy sighed and took her hand.
"Sharon, I assure you. Alison's fine. Everything's fine. Let's go home. Maybe Rusty worry for us and he is alone with Nicholas." he said quickly. Sharon agrees, but she was still confused. She couldn't find sense in this situation. The next morning, however, while Andy was working, Alison called Sharon. This was her new plan. Sharon decided to meet her because she wanted to ask her if she's okay. But Allison told her she was pretty good and that she didn't take any pills. Sharon was more confused than ever. She didn't know what to think.
"Last night, Andy came to me and told me that he loves me. That was his plan, Sharon. I called you here to tell you the truth. Andy told me that he loves me. Last night he interrupted his dinner with you to come to me . " Allison said insolently.
"I don't believe you. Andy never had a relationship with you." Sharon said with anger. Allison smiled slyly and handed her a photograph. She and Andy together ... In this picture... Sharon looked at the picture and swallowed the lump in her throat. She didn't know what to think at this point ...
