A few days later, Nicole was back home. Sharon stood before the mirror, examined the new clothes she'd bought for motherhood. Andy breakfasted with Rusty in the kitchen and Rusty could already feel Nicole's lack. He sipped his juice and looked at the empty chair. Andy looked at him carefully.

"Hey, what happens Rusty?" he asked concerned. Rusty put his glass down on the table and sighed.

"Nothing, I'm just accustomed to Nicole and her absence is felt." Andy smiled softly.

"I understand, Rusty. Sharon also feels bad as me. But she was here about a month and she should come back. She's an adult and have privacy life and her own home. But that didn't mean that she'll not visit us." Rusty nodded with a slight smile.

"It's really good. Just like she lived with us for many years. As my older sister." Andy grinned, "Definitely. We're glad that you two get along so well."

"Well, it will always be so. And if I have to admit, now I can't wait for my new sibling." Andy chuckled and glanced at the clock.

"The time is almost eight. Where's your mother?" Andy asked, looking around.

"Mom yesterday had bought new clothes for herself, as she keeps saying" how huge" she is. Andy rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Sharon will not stop repeating it. She constantly frowning, so that she is " huge. "

"Well, this is her most popular word, maybe." Rusty grinned.

"It's best to check." Andy said and left his chair seeing that Sharon slowly came into the kitchen.

"Sharon, you should call me for help." said Andy sternly and help her.

"Andy, stop worrying. I just examined my clothes, I'm fine." She frowned, then kissed Rusty's cheek and ruffled his hair.

"Hey, Mom, we just talked for Nicole with Andy." Sharon smiled. "I miss her a lot." she admitted with a sigh.

"Yes, it is. I just told Andy that Nicole seemed like my older sister." Sharon looked at Andy.

"I know and I'm glad to hear it. '"

"In fact, you sometimes argue about trifles, but then again you laugh together." Andy said brazenly.

"Just like real brother and sister." Sharon said with a smile and squeezed her son's hand. For a moment, silence fell between them. Rusty cleared his throat. "Mom, I hope you're okay. '"

"Don't worry dear, I'm fine."

"Well, I mean ... when is the next ultrasound? You said it would be a few days. ''

"Oh, I talk with Dr. Nelson yesterday, the appointment is tomorrow."

"It's great. I mean you ...-" Sharon took a deep breath and looked at Rusty.

"I know what you tell me. Once again, but I'm really tired of this discussion. Now, when Nicole isn't here, you start again."

"Mom, I'm not guilty. Nicole told me that I got a chance to dissuade you to understand our sibling's sex, but I told her that this will not happen, because I know your stubbornness." Sharon and Andy laughed.

"Oh, my God! You will not stop?"

"Mom, I also want to say that Emily called me yesterday to ask me whether we understand the sex." Sharon sighed.

"I see. It's like a gang. '"

"You really never stop with these issues. Even if I ask, you know that Sharon doesn't want to understand the sex and this will be so." Andy said looking at Sharon. Rusty nodded dissatisfied.

"Well, I'll not insist." He looked at his watch and said, "Well, I have a meeting with friends, have to go. I'll see you tonight." He kissed his mother on the cheek and left. Sharon was playing with her food. Andy saw it and grabbed her hand.

"What happens Sharon? Why don't you eat anything?" Sharon sighed wearily.

"Nothing, just thinking about some things. "

"Sharon, you have to stop to think about bad things. For baby's good and for yours." He squeezed her hand reassuringly. Sharon smiled softly.

"You're right. I think we're late for work. ''

"Yes, now Provenza will talk nonsense." Andy frowned". Sharon laughed and took her purse.

********** ... **********

While Andy was driving, he watched Sharon carefully. He suddenly stopped the car. Sharon looked at him with surprise.

"What are you doing? We're late." she said sternly.

"Sharon, look at me. Are you sure that you want to work? Maybe ...-"

"Andy, please. I'm fine, especially since I've been home for three days because of the temperature."

"Well, I just wanted to be sure." She took his hand. "It's all right. Let's not be late." Andy grinned and they continued on their way.

********...********

Ever since their arrival, they were greeted by a new case of murder. Provenza immediately give the information to Sharon, highlighting their delay.

"Where are the suspects?" asked Sharon.

"In the interview room, Mike and Julio questioning them now." said Amy.

"We suspect another person, but we try to find him." Provenza said, handing some clues to Sharon. Sharon examined the clues carefully.

"Well, we should immediately find him. We can't be sure that he's innocent." Sharon said firmly.

"Incidentally, - interrupted Andy," Who is the suspect? '"

"Unfortunately, the victim's father." Andy sighed, "The same problems. ''

"Well, Lieutenant, I'll be in my office if there is any development, let me know immediately."

"Of course, Captain." Sharon went into her office while Andy decided to take a cup of coffee. Provenza followed him.

"Hey, Flynn, you're late this morning. Is there a problem?" Andy sighed.

"No, just I wasn't sure that Sharon is well enough to work."

"Andy, you need to calm down. She's good. Besides, she's a strong woman and can deal with everything.

"You're right." said Andy, handing a cup of coffee to him, "Thank you."

********...*********

Several hours later, Sharon sat wearily in her office. She took of her glasses, leaned back and put her hand on her belly. She smiled when the baby kicked her again today. "Hey." she grinned and rubbed her belly gently. At this point, Andrea's visit made her happy.

"I decided to check my friend." Andrea said with a smile and hugged her.

"I'm so glad you're here." said Sharon. Andrea sat beside her and looked at her carefully.

"Oh, you already wear the clothes that you bought yesterday." Sharon sighed, "Yes, because the others clothes are small. Sometimes I feel that the baby's growing very quickly." Andrea chuckled.

"That's good. Are you all right?"

"I think so."

"Why did you say that? What's wrong?" Andrea asked anxiously. Sharon took a deep breath.

"Look, Andrea, tomorrow I have an appointment and tomorrow is the next ultrasound. ''

"Oh, yes, you told me this a few days ago. What's the problem?"

"Tomorrow I'll talk to the doctor of the possibilities for this pregnancy. You know very well that with each passing month, my fear grows. Andrea, if I have to admit, I'm very afraid. I'm afraid that never be able to see my baby." Andrea shushed softly and rubbed her back reassuringly.

"Sharon, stop to think about it. You remember what you promised me, right? You have to be calm. You know all your emotions affect the baby." Sharon sighed. "I really try not to think. Sometimes I say that Andy will be a good father, even if I'm not with them. It calms me down."

"Sharon, you'll see your baby. You'll be with your children. Emily, Ricky and Rusty also need you. Everything will be fine, just think positively." Andrea tried to reassure her. Sharon nodded with a sad smile. "Thank you that I have you." Andrea hugged her. "Always Sharon. ''

********** ... **********

On the other hand Nicole had visited Rusty.

"I'm glad that you visit me." said Rusty.

"Why not? Sometimes I need a company or a brother. '"

"Yes, I too. By the way, Mom is categorical, she doesn't want to know the sex." Nicole sighed, "Oh, I don't know why Sharon is so stubborn. ''

"Me too. Yesterday I talk with Emily and she asked me if we know the sex. I told her that Mom insists she doesn't understand.

"I understand. But are they really not know?"

"What do you mean?" asked Rusty confused.

"I want to say that Dad and Sharon may know, but hide from us." Rusty laughed loudly.

"Enough Nicole, they know nothing. Andy was trying to convince mom, but she refused. They also don't know and will not know until the birth."

"I understand, but they just don't try to understand us." Nicole frowned. Rusty nodded.

***********...**********

In the evening, Sharon put her documents in the drawer. Andy suddenly came to her.

"Hey." Sharon grinned. "Andy, come here." Andy closed the door and sat down beside her. He kissed her gently on the lips.

"Are you okay?"

"Pretty good, don't worry. '"

"Hmm ... The baby kicking you?" He put his hand on her belly.

"A lot. I think that today doesn't stop moving, but it makes me happy. This means that the baby's fine." Andy nodded with a smile and glanced at his watch.

"It's late. You want to go home?" Sharon sighed wearily. "Yes, I think I'm too tired." Andy smiled and kissed her gently. She took her coat and purse and they went home.

*********...**********

Rusty watched a movie in the living room when they arrived.

"Hey, you come early." Rusty smiled.

"Yes, your mother was quite tired and need to rest." said Andy sitting beside him.

"Oh yes. Today Nicole made a surprise visit to me. '"

"Oh, Nicole was here?" said Sharon.

"Yes Mom, again talked about your stubbornness." Andy laughed.

"Especially you two will not stop. '"

"They'll never stop." Sharon chuckled. "Do you want dinner?"

"Maybe." Rusty said.

"Yes, we'll do something for dinner, but you will rest in your room, I and Rusty will deal with this."

"Oh, Andy, I can't leave you." Sharon frowned. Andy put his hand on her shoulder.

"Sharon, please. You know very well that I'm a specialist and Rusty too. You need to rest, today was a very busy day." Sharon nodded dissatisfied.

"Well, I'll not insist."

"Don't worry Mom, I and Andy are as a team." Sharon smiled and kissed him on the cheek. Andy gently led her into the bedroom. She lay on the bed and Andy put pillows behind her to let her be comfortable.

"So, okay?" he asked.

"Everything's fine." He kissed her gently on the lips.

"I'll call you when dinner is ready." Sharon nodded and Andy returned to the kitchen to Rusty.

"How's Mom?"

"She's good. Let's prepare our dinner kid." he grinned. Rusty chuckled and they started to make dinner. Sharon lay on her bed and looked thoughtfully at the ceiling. Although Andrea had warned that she must be peaceful, Sharon couldn't. She tried, but those thoughts are constantly spinning in her head. She closed her eyes, put her hand on her belly and fell asleep.

*********...*********

About 1 hour later, Andy and Rusty looked at the dinner they'd prepared together.

"Well, I think it's pretty good." Andy smiled.

"Everything's fine." Rusty grinned.

"Okay, I'll call Sharon." Andy slowly entered the room and sat beside her. He kissed her gently on the lips and she opened her eyes.

"Dinner is ready, dear." Sharon rubbed her eyes slightly.

"Oh, so fast?" Andy grinned.

"Just I and Rusty are specialists." Sharon smiled softly.

"Hmm ... I see. Can you help me? '"

"Why are you asking me?" Andy took her hand gently and helped her to the kitchen.

"Well, I hope that you will like our dinner." Rusty said.

"I'm sure." Sharon smiled. She took a piece of their delicious dinner. Andy and Rusty looked at her expectantly. She looked at them with a smile.

"Well, how is it?"

"To be honest, your dinner is really delicious. Incidentally, I didn't know that Rusty can cook so well. ''

"Well, I also have abilities Mom." Sharon laughed and ruffled his hair.

********* ... *********

The next morning, Sharon and Andy were preparing for the appointment. Sharon's hands trembled and Andy felt it. He took her hand and kissed her forehead.

"Sharon, calm down. Everything will be fine." Sharon sighed wearily.

"Oh, I want so much. But I believe you. Thank you for your support." Andy hugged her comfortingly.

"Everything will be fine, I'm with you and will always be." Andy's words encouraged her. He gently held her hand and they walked toward the hospital.

********...********

Sharon's tension was higher when they were already with Dr. Nelson.

"Well, Mrs. Sharon, how are you? '"

"I'm fine thanks."

"Glad to hear it. You're now in the fifth month of pregnancy. Now there's no discomfort, right?"

"No, I'm thankful that now there is no discomfort." Andy was holding her hand and looked at her with a smile.

"Are you ready for the ultrasound?" asked Dr. Nelson with a smile. Sharon nodded slightly. After the examination, Sharon and Andy were waiting to hear the doctor's news.

"It's okay, don't worry. The baby is developing well. Nothing to worry about. And you and the baby are quite well." assured them Nelson. Sharon and Andy sighed with relief.

"That's great." said Andy.

"Yes. Andy, can you leave us alone with Dr. Nelson?" Sharon asked. Andy looked at her confused.

"Ok, of course." Andy came out into the waiting room.

"What happens Sharon? Why do you want Andy to be outside?" asked the doctor. Sharon took a deep breath.

"Dr. Nelson, I don't want Andy to hear what I'll share with you. Look, I'm really scared a lot. With each passing month, my fear grows even more. I'm afraid that never be able to see my baby, but when I say this to Andy, he immediately interrupted the conversation. I think he needs to understand that it can happen everything, even the worst." Dr. Nelson nodded slightly and took her hand.

"Sharon, the baby, and you're fine. Why do you think these things? If you continue to think that this will lead to a miscarriage. Please don't think so." Sharon sighed wearily.

"I try not to think, but I can't. All warn me, but I just can't stop."

"Sharon, if there was something wrong with the baby, I would tell you. But everything's fine and you shouldn't think negatively. There are many women at your age who now raise their children. Just calm down. I'll further prescribe some vitamins. You need to promise me that you'll think positively. For your own good and the baby's good. " Sharon nodded. Dr Nelson was right. Andy waited Sharon in the waiting room. He sighed when he saw her.

"Sharon, are you okay?"

"Yes, everything's fine. I just talked to Dr. Nelson for some things." Andy nodded with a smile.

"All right. Are you tired?"

"Yes, I think I want to go home." Andy took her hand gently and they returned home.

********* ... *********

For several days, Sharon again felt the same discomfort, but didn't say anything to anyone. She was sitting in her office when a new wave of pain came to her belly. She tried to ignore. She got up from her chair and looked out the window from her office. She smiled when she saw that Andy and Provenza again arguing about trifles. Sharon lightly rubbed her belly, hoping that the discomfort will not appear anymore. But despite all, the discomfort appeared in several minutes and the pain grew greater. Sharon bit her lip and clenched her teeth, feeling another sharp pain.

"Oh my God, what's happening to me?" she muttered to herself. She held her belly. Suddenly came another sharp pain, and she fainted to the ground. When Andy went inside, his eyes widened. Sharon was lying on the ground unconscious.

"Sharon, what's wrong with you? Sharon, can you hear me? Sharon open your eyes!" Andy shouted nervously. The whole team have rallied to the office.

"My God, I'll call 911," Amy said.

"What happened Flynn?" Provenza asked anxiously.

"I don't know, I walked inside, she lay on the ground unconscious." "Sharon." he repeated several times her name, hoping she would open her eyes. He felt powerless. She was in his arms unconscious. Fear filled his heart.
