A/N: This is the thirty-first chapter! I hope you like it! Please review. I'll try to update as soon as possible.
Sharon opened her eyes slowly. She still saw foggy, but she immediately realized that she was lying in a hospital bed. She put her hand on her swollen belly.
"Sharon." she heard Andy's voice, though too weak. He gently took her hand and kissed her forehead. At Sharon's head, everything was mist. The only thing she remembered was that Andy screams her name and the sharp pain that cut her. She rubbed her eyes slightly, but with every move, she felt little pain. She looked into Andy's eyes with fear. She squeezed his hand hard.
"Andy? What happened? Please, tell me that the baby's fine." she said immediately as her voice sounded anxiety and fear. Andy smiled gently and stroked her belly.
"It's okay Sharon. Dr. Nelson told us that you and the baby are fine. Our baby is well, calm down." he told her soothingly. Sharon sighed with relief. She wouldn't have thought she could lose her baby. Now she was calm, but the pain in her belly continued. She closed her eyes for a moment, then looked back at Andy, who was smiling.
"Andy, what happened?" she asked, confused.
"Sharon, you had much pain and you fainted in your office. Dr. Nelson explained that the pains were caused by a lack of fluids. She also said that your blood pressure was high. The doctor assured that you and the baby will be fine. You will feel little discomfort, but will soon pass." he told her encouragingly. Sharon thought, remembering the pain she'd felt in her office.
"Yes, I remember, but foggy." Sharon groaned when Andy pressed his lips against hers and kissed her gently.
"I'm with you Sharon. Everything will be fine. If I have to admit, I thought that you could go into labor prematurely." Sharon laughed and stroked his face.
"Don't worry, Lieutenant, you'll have to wait only another four months. That's not much time." Andy looked at her with love.
"Sharon, I'm not kidding. Really, I was afraid that may happen something to you or our baby. You can't imagine how I was worried. I'll be happy when our baby arrives, but not so early." Sharon's eyes glowed with happiness. Despite the pain that feels Sharon was happy with the fact that their baby is well and Andy was beside her. She rubbed gently her belly.
"I'm glad." Andy grinned and grabbed her hand.
"Sharon, I want to ask you something, but don't know how." he said, confused. Sharon looked at him questioningly.
"Come on Andy, ask me!" Sharon said impatiently understand the question. Andy took a deep breath, "Sharon, when we talked about labor, actually ... Well, that's painful isn't it?" he asked, looking at Sharon's green eyes. She smiled softly.
"Well, you know, I'll not lie. It's pretty painful. When I was in labor with Emily and Ricky, I had terrible pain. But when you take your baby in your hands, you forget completely about the pain." she chuckled, Andy smiled and kissed her gently.
"It's a nice feeling. Although, I don't know what it's to grow another life inside you."
"It's pretty nice feeling Andy, the most beautiful feeling. ''
"I'm convinced of that. I'm sorry that I'll say this, but all who are in labor screaming to their husbands that they are guilty for everything." He shrugged. Sharon laughed loudly.
"I promise you, when I be in labor, I'll not yell at you." Andy hugged her. At this point the door opened and Sharon's eyes filled with tears when she saw her whole team. Provenza laid flowers inside.
"These are for you, Captain." he said politely with a smile.
"Lieutenant Provenza, thank you. But why all stand outside? '"
"A little while ago the doctor warned us that you need to rest, we'll visit you again." Sharon frowned and turned her attention to Andy.
"This means that I'll be here a few more days?" Andy sighed and took her hand.
"Calm down Sharon. Dr. Nelson wants you to be under observation for a few days." Sharon put her hands on her face. Provenza nodded and walked out. Andy sat close to Sharon.
"Sharon, to ensure fully that these pains are harmless, you have to be here. Only three days, it's not much." He tried to calm her.
"You know I hate hospitals!" she shouted.
"I know Sharon, but try to calm down, for the baby, please." He looked at her pleadingly. Sharon took a deep breath and agreed dissatisfied.
"Well, where are Rusty and Nicole?"
"They're also outside. They were very worried about you. And they can't wait to see you, but after a while Dr. Nelson will be here. "He smiled softly. At this point Dr. Nelson entered the room with a slight smile.
"How are you, Sharon? You still have pain?" Sharon rubbed her belly, "No, not much."
"I'm happy. I guess Andy told you that you'll be here for a few days." Sharon sighed wearily, "Yes, he told me. '"
"And she again was angry." Andy brazenly interrupted. Dr. Nelson looked at Sharon strictly.
"Sharon, I told you that you shouldn't get angry. If you want your baby to be healthy, you have to be away from stress." Sharon nodded slightly.
"I know, but this is just difficult, especially at work." The doctor sighed.
"Andy, can you leave us alone with Sharon?" Andy nodded with a smile. "Of course. I'll be outside." he said, turning to Sharon and left. Dr. Nelson sat next to Sharon. Nicole and Rusty saw Andy.
"Andy, how's Mom?" asked Rusty immediately.
"She's good kid, don't worry. '"
"Dad, we saw that the doctor went inside. Everything's ok? "Nicole asked anxiously. Andy smiled.
"It's okay, simply Dr. Nelson wants to talk to Sharon in private."
"Oh, by the way, Andrea will be here in one hour." Rusty said. Andy nodded slightly.
"I'm glad. Andrea is the only one who can soothe Sharon." Nicole grinned.
"Dad, we'll go for coffee with Rusty. You want it?" Andy took his daughter's hand.
"Thank you, if you can." Nicole and Rusty looked at each other and left. Andy sat in the waiting room while Sharon and Dr. Nelson had a serious conversation.
"Sharon, we had an appointment a few days ago. I told you that you and the baby are fine. Then, why you keep worrying? Besides, you have a pretty high blood pressure and it's not good for your health. I understand from the results you not take the vitamins that I prescribed. " Sharon sighed and looked sadly at her.
"Just, I forget. My job ...- '"
"Sharon, for you what is more important? The work or the baby?"
"Of course the baby." she said firmly. Dr. Nelson squeezed her hand.
"Sharon, you have to be calm and forget about work. And please don't interrupt me. Sharon, the pregnancy at your age is quite risky. I know what threats hiding your job. I want to tell you that you should stop working after the sixth month. I don't want you to go into labor prematurely. To be honest, there is a risk of premature labor. You have to be careful. "The doctor warned sternly. Sharon took a deep breath. She didn't want to leave her job, but she wanted the baby to be healthy and would do anything. Andy stood in the waiting room when Andrea came to him.
"How is Sharon?"
"She's good, now Dr. Nelson talk to her." Andrea nodded and sat down beside him.
"The baby?"
"Sharon and the baby are fine, but Dr. Nelson said there may be a risk of premature labor, if she still works." Andrea sighed, "We all know how hard is Sharon. She will not leave her job just like that."
"Andrea, you can try to convince her. I also don't want Sharon to go to labor at work. Can you imagine?" Andy frowned.
"Well, I'll try, but not promise that will convince her." Andy rolled his eyes.
"Sharon is really stubborn. Today I felt the fear that she might go into labor prematurely." Andrea put a hand on his shoulder.
"I hope that this will not happen." Andy nodded slightly when Dr. Nelson left Sharon's room.
"Dr. Nelson."
"Don't worry, I talked with Sharon, I'm sorry, but nevertheless she will work. She's stubborn." Nelson laughed.
"Oh, we know that." Andrea said.
"Well, if she went into labor prematurely?" Andy asked perceptively.
"I don't think this could happen, if she's in peace. Sharon will work, but will rest for long. There is still a risk of premature labor, but we'll try it will not happen. Fortunately, the pains were by lack of fluid. But it could be more serious." Andy nodded slightly.
"I hope that everything will be fine. ''
"Don't worry, we'll keep an eye on. You can seeher." Dr. Nelson smiled and went into her office.
"Andrea, talk to Sharon. I'm sure that she'll listen." Andy told her. Andrea nodded and entered Sharon's room. At this point, Nicole and Rusty returned with a cup of coffee. Rusty handed the cup to Andy. He smiled softly.
"Thanks kid."
"Andrea is here, Dad?" Nicole said with a smile.
"Yes dear, I hope that she'll convince Sharon to stay away from work." Rusty laughed.
"Well, this is not possible. Even if Andrea will not succeed. '"
"Rusty's right, this is impossible. Sharon is stubborn." Nicole added. Andy sighed wearily.
"Let's not talk hopeless. I hope that Andrea will succeed." On the other hand, Andrea tried to convince Sharon to stay away from work for baby's good.
"Andrea, I told you that I will work until the end of this pregnancy. I said it all and to Dr. Nelson too." Andrea frowned.
"Sharon, please. When Andy called me today and told me that you fainted from pain, I thought that you going into labor prematurely. You can't take that risk. Think about the baby." Sharon took a deep breath and put her hand on her belly.
"Andrea, please. I'll try not to be in a stressful situation, but will not leave my job just like that." Andrea took her hand.
"Sharon, you're stubborn! What if you go into labor at work?" Sharon laughed.
"Andrea, why don't you be a film director? Nice scenario, really."
"Sharon, I'm serious." Andrea said firmly.
"Me too. Look, I promise that this will not happen. The baby will be born on time. "Andrea sighed.
"Well, I'll not argue anymore. I hope it will be so. But don't forget that I'm the baby's godmother." Sharon smiled and hugged her.
"That's why I'm calm." After a few minutes, Andrea left Sharon's room. Andy stood before her.
"Well, what's the result?" Andrea sighed.
"I told you she's stubborn. Nothing changes." Nicole and Rusty looked at each other.
"Thanks for your help Andrea." said Andy.
"Always." Andrea was gone and Andy, Nicole and Rusty entered Sharon's room.
"Sharon, you can't imagine how I was afraid." Nicole said and took her hand.
"Everything's fine." she replied with a smile.
"Hey, Mom, for a moment I thought that my sibling will be born today." Rusty laughed.
"Oh, I'm grateful that this didn't happen."
"But if you worry about in this way, you will go into labor prematurely, really." Nicole said sternly. Andy watched them. Sharon sighed and patted her belly.
"Everything's fine and will be." she assured them.
*********...**********
Several hours later, Sharon and Andy were alone in the room. Andy took Sharon in his arms. She smiled and snuggled against him.
"You can't imagine how comfortable I feel in your arms." Sharon murmured softly. Andy smiled and kissed her forehead.
"You know I love you and will always be there for you and for our child." His hand find her belly. She put her hand on his.
"Andy, if I have to admit, I really was afraid that may happen something to the baby. However, these pains were very strong and I was scared." Andy hushed quietly.
"Sharon, nothing will happen to the baby. I'm with you. Nothing will happen. Absolutely nothing." He tried to calm her. Andy's words really gave her courage. She smiled and fell asleep in his arms. The next morning, Sharon slowly opened her eyes. She was alone in the room. She thought that Andy is probably gone for coffee. Suddenly, her phone rang. She took the phone and saw that it was a personal number.
"Who could it be?" she murmured and decided to respond.
"Hello?" The other side was silent. "Hello? Hello?" Sharon repeated several times worried. She hung up thoughtfully.
"I've received such calls before, by Sharon Beck. But now she's in jail. Who can it be?" At this point, Andy came into the room with a cup of raspberry tea.
"I'm glad that you wake up." He kissed her gently and handed her the cup. Sharon smiled softly and completely forgot about the strange call.
"Where are Nicole and Rusty?"
"Oh, they also went for coffee." Sharon nodded slightly, but still thoughtful. Andy took her hand gently, feeling her anxiety.
"Sharon, are you okay?" Sharon shook his hand and kissed him on the cheek.
"It's okay, don't worry. '"
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely." She assured him when she felt another kick from the baby. She put the cup down on the table and stroked her belly with a smile. Andy looked at her questioningly.
"Sharon?"
"The baby kicked me." she explained. Andy put his hand on her belly and feeling the kicks of the baby, he grinned.
"This is ... It really kicking and it's wonderful." Sharon smiled because they had contact with their baby.
*********...**********
A few days later, Sharon was already home. She was happy, but the strange calls continued and she didn't know what to do. One morning, Andy and Rusty were eating breakfast in the kitchen while Sharon was preparing for work. She looked at herself in the mirror, thinking what to wear. Suddenly, her phone rang again. She looked at the phone with fear.
"Hello? Hello? Why are you silent?" she asked, with a high tone, angrily, but no one answered. She threw the phone on the ground.
"Why anyone wants to play the same games with me?" she muttered angrily to herself. Andy looked at his watch.
"Rusty, where's your mother?"
"Oh, she thinks what to wear. The pregnancy made her vulnerable." Andy laughed when he saw Sharon, who came into the kitchen. She kissed Rusty on the cheek and sat down beside him. Andy looked at Sharon carefully. He took her hand consolingly.
"Are you okay? "She smiled and decided to hide the truth again, although not needed.
"Yes, I'm fine, don't worry." Andy sighed, "Well, if you say so. Don't forget that you promised me that you'll work less from now on." Sharon took a deep breath and rubbed her belly.
"I'll do it for the baby's good." Andy nodded with a smile. Rusty chuckled slightly. Sharon drank her orange juice, but her eyes told that something is wrong.
*********...**********
Several hours later, Andy was sitting at his desk lost in work. Provenza sat beside him.
"How's the captain, Flynn?" he asked anxiously.
"She's good. I'm glad that now rests more. She promised me that she would rest for the baby's good. A little while ago, she went home." Andy explained proudly. Provenza grinned.
"Well, if you're able, I'm glad." He returned to his desk.
*********...*********
In the evening, Rusty and Nicole talked in the living room. Nicole's visit was wonderful.
"Hey, I suggest you to visit us more often." Rusty laughed.
"Well, not a bad idea." she said brazenly. Suddenly the door opened. Andy threw his keys and join them.
"Oh, Nicole, I'm glad you're here." Nicole smiled softly.
"Yes, Dad and I'll visit you more often."
"This is good." He looked around and asked, "Where's Sharon?"
"Oh, she's not home." Rusty said. Andy panicked.
"But even a few hours ago he had to be home. '"
"Dad, calm down, maybe she's for coffee with friends." Nicole told reliably.
"No, I would know if it was true." he said nervously.
"I thought she was with you." said Rusty confused. Suddenly Andy's phone rang. Seeing Sharon's name on the screen, he sighed with relief.
"Sharon, where are you? I was so worried."
"Andy, I beg you, save me!" Sharon cried with anxious voice.
"Sharon, what's happening? Sharon?" Andy shouted angrily more worried than ever. Nicole and Rusty looked at each other.
"Andy, please, I beg you, save me!" Suddenly the connection was broken, Andy dropped the phone on the ground and his heart was filled with fear and anxiety. "Where are you, Sharon? What's happening?"
