Tonight, Sharon couldn't sleep. The baby was kicking so much. She opened her eyes slowly and looked at Andy with a slight smile. She was grateful that he sleeps. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the clock. "Still 2am." she thought and grimaced. Sensing that her throat was dry, she slowly got out of bed and went to the kitchen for a glass of water. She came with slow steps to the kitchen. Sipping her water, she felt several kicks. She put the cup on the table and sighed wearily. She rubbed her belly and murmured, "I haven't had any problems with either Emily or with Ricky. Why did you kick me so much?" After a few minutes she grinned, feeling a little kicks. "Hmm ... This is your answer. You're our nocturnal baby, no doubt." She decided to check whether Rusty's home. She slowly walked to his room, but there was no one. She took a deep breath and pouted. "Oh, this kid. He never listens to me." she muttered. On the other hand, Andy felt that the bed is empty, he opened his eyes and looked around sleepily. He immediately got out of bed and saw Sharon in front of Rusty's room. He approached her.

"Sharon." She turned to him.

"Oh, Andy, you scared me."

"Sorry honey, I didn't want that. But, what are you doing here?" Sharon sighed looking at Rusty's room.

"Nothing, I just couldn't sleep, I went into the kitchen for a glass of water and decided to check Rusty, but he still isn't home." Andy nodded and squeezed her hand.

"Don't worry Sharon. He's an adult. I'm sure he'll be here any minute." Sharon, however, dropped his hand and sat on the couch in the living room. Andy sighed and rolled his eyes, dissatisfied. He sat next to Sharon. He looked carefully at her.

"Sharon, are you okay?" he asked anxiously. Sharon looked at him and sighed.

"I'm not well." she moaned. Andy sat close to her.

"Hey, honey, what's happening? '"

"Nothing worse than that tonight I can't sleep. The baby didn't stop kicking." Andy smiled and rubbed her belly gently.

"Our nocturnal baby never let you sleep."

"Oh, if I have to confess I didn't have such problems with Emily and Ricky. They were calm during the night. But now ..." she closed her eyes for a moment. Andy shushed softly, rubbing her belly.

"Well, Sharon, calm down. I promise you that you'll sleep." Sharon looked at him questioningly, wondering what makes Andy.

"Well, come on, little one, stop kicking. Your mother needs sleep." he whispered softly to her belly. Sharon laughed.

"God, Andy ... You're so funny. You know, it doesn't work. It'll not stop kicking me. It's just useless." Andy looked into Sharon's green eyes and kissed her gently.

"But also, you very well know that the baby likes my voice." Sharon stroked his face and pressed her lips against his.

"Definitely." At this point, the door opened. Seeing Rusty, Sharon immediately walked over to him.

"Rusty, are you okay? Where were you?" asked Sharon immediately.

"Mom, calm down. I'm fine. I'm sorry I'm late." Sharon put her hand on his shoulder and sighed.

"You know how much I worry about you, right?" Andy approached them.

"Mom, I'm sorry." Rusty said apologetically.

"I told you not to be late." Sharon continued.

"Sharon, calm down. It's okay. He just came later." Andy tried to reassure her.

"Mom, let's talk tomorrow. You have to sleep as I do." Sharon nodded slightly. Rusty kissed his mother on the cheek and went to his room. Andy smiled and hugged Sharon comfortingly.

"Well, honey, I think Rusty was right. You need sleep. Let's go into the bedroom." Sharon smiled thoughtfully and patted her belly.

"I hope." Andy kissed her forehead and took her into their bedroom carefully.

The next morning, Sharon was fast asleep. Andy prepare for the workday. He sat next to Sharon, stroked her hair and kissed her gently. Hoping that she could sleep longer this morning, Andy went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. The good part was that Nicole had also acceded. While Rusty talked to her, she looked closely at her father.

"Dad, are you okay? You look very pale, as if you haven't slept all night." Andy sighed wearily, put the breakfast on the table and sat down beside them.

"Actually, I haven't slept. That night, the baby kicked so much and Sharon also hasn't slept all night. At the moment she's sleeping and I hope that she'll be able to sleep well, at least now." Andy explained hastily.

"I understand. I was about to ask where's Sharon. As we all know, she wakes up early."

"Oh, she woke early, but is completely normal during the pregnancy." Rusty commented. Andy smiled and looked at his watch.

"Well, I have a few more minutes before I go to the crime scene." Nicole left her glass on the table.

"Dad, don't tell me that you'll not tell Sharon. You very well know how stubborn she is." Rusty chuckled.

"Definitely. If Mom understand that you haven't told her, she will pick up a big fight. And we all know that this isn't good for her and the baby." Rusty noted. Andy sighed.

"Well, you're right. But I don't want to worry Sharon for work in this condition." Nicole squeezed her father's hand.

"Dad, I understand completely. But you have to tell her. You know the consequences if you hide." Andy nodded slightly.

"Well, I'll try. I want to check." Andy walked to the bedroom.

"Hey, Nicole, do you think Andy would tell mom?" Rusty asked quietly.

"I'm not sure, I hope." Nicole shrugged. Andy went quietly in the bedroom. Seeing that Sharon still asleep, he smiled. He sat down beside her and kissed her forehead. Suddenly, Sharon opened her eyes and looked at him with a smile.

"I'm sorry I woke you up." Andy said guiltily. Sharon stroked his face.

"Andy, I just felt you to me and I wanted to open my eyes." Andy took her hand gently.

"I'm glad that you slept longer. The kicks continue?" Sharon smiled and took his hand.

"None. I'm thankful that the baby decided to give me a little time to sleep." Andy grinned.

"Okay. Sharon, breakfast is ready. Nicole is also here and also ... We have to go to the crime scene." Sharon sighed wearily.

"Well, give me a minute. I'll be ready and join you." Andy nodded slightly and returned to the kitchen. Nicole looked questioningly at her father.

"So?" Andy smiled and replied happily, "Everything's fine. Sharon will be here in a few minutes. And also, I told her about the crime scene." Nicole and Rusty looked at each other.

"Great." said Nicole.

"Yes, that's good." Rusty noted. Sharon dressed wide blue dress and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She smiled gently and stroked her belly.

"Well, my little one, please don't kick me so much. Today I have a very important job and you have to understand your mommy." she whispered softly to the baby inside her. She took her phone and slowly went into the kitchen. She kissed Rusty on the cheek and hugged Nicole, then sat down beside them. Andy put the breakfast in front of her with a smile.

"How are you, Sharon?" Nicole asked with a smile. Sharon sighed.

"I'm fine. I just couldn't sleep all night because the baby didn't stop kicking me." Nicole grinned.

"Yes, Dad told me that. Tell my sibling that you need to rest and sleep." Rusty chuckled.

"Oh, it's just impossible. '"

"Rusty's right. Andy tried to calm the baby, but without success." Sharon said, patting her belly.

"Hmm ... I immediately understand how stubborn sibling we'll have." joked Nicole.

"Yes, you're right." interjected Rusty.

"Just like their father." Sharon turned to Andy.

"Hey, I'm not stubborn. You're stubborn." Andy said brazenly. Nicole and Rusty laughed.

"Well, that was just a joke. Stop arguing." Nicole frowned. Sharon grinned.

"But there is a little truth." Suddenly Andy's phone rang. Seeing Provenza's name, he sighed.

"Hello."

"Flynn, you think you appear here?" Provenza said sternly.

"Hey, stop shouting. We haven't slept all night, we'll be there in a few minutes." Andy angrily said and hung up. Sharon looked at him questioningly.

"Andy, why do you yell?"

"Sharon, he started first. He just still can't understand that our life is not like before." Sharon smiled and took his hand.

"OK, let's go. It's getting late, I wouldn't want to be late." Sharon took her purse and turned her attention to Rusty and Nicole.

"And you two, be careful." she warned.

"Don't worry, Mom." assured Rusty.

"Yes, Sharon. If there is any problem, call us." Nicole added. Sharon smiled and pulled Andy out.

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

Several hours later, the team had finished another rough murder case. Sharon sat calmly in her office, waiting for Andrea to arrive any moment. The door opened and she stepped inside, breathlessly.

"Sharon, I'm sorry I'm late. Just work keeps me busy." Sharon smiled and hugged her friend.

"Don't worry, everything's fine." Andrea sat beside her and looked at her carefully. She took her hand and said, "Sharon, are you okay? You look pale." Sharon sighed wearily and took off her glasses.

"Yes, I just couldn't sleep well. The baby didn't stop kicking me all night." Andrea chuckled.

"This baby never stops moving." Sharon rubbed her belly.

"Yes, I think that it can't wait to meet everyone." On the other hand, Andy talked to Provenza.

"Hey, Louie, I need your help. I want some advice." Andy said quietly. Provenza sat beside him.

"In what sense?" Andy sighed.

"Look, Sharon, and I want to get married after the birth, but I wasn't yet made a proposal of marriage. So, now, I want to ask you ... How can I do something romantic?" Provenza laughed.

"Hey, what's so funny?" Andy moaned.

"Andy, I'm sorry, but why do you ask me? You're a romantic person, you can do something beautiful." Andy rolled his eyes angrily.

"Provenza, stop grinning like an idiot. I just want to be something very special. And you have to help me." Andy insisted. Provenza sighed and shook his head.

In the evening, Sharon put her important documents in the drawer and saw Andy standing by the door. She smiled slightly.

"Well, come here." Andy closed the door and walked over to her and kissed her gently.

"Sharon, you ready?" Sharon looked at him questioningly.

"I don't understand." Andy sighed and took her hand.

"I mean, if you're ready to go to a restaurant for dinner?" Sharon took a deep breath.

"Andy, I feel so tired. Can we go another way? "She looked at him pleadingly. Andy nodded and stroked her face.

"Of course honey. If you don't feel good, let's go home." Sharon smiled, took her purse and together they left.

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

After about 1 hour, Sharon and Andy went home. They went into the living room and saw Rusty and Nicole immersed in conversation about the baby.

"What are you arguing?" Sharon immediately asked, sitting beside them.

"Sharon, we don't argue. We just talked about the nursery." Nicole said with a frown.

"Same thing." Andy sighed.

"I have good news for you. Today I spoke with Emily and Ricky. They'll arrive in LA a month before the birth." Sharon said with a smile.

"That's good news." Rusty noted.

"Yes, but we'll not know the sex. It's going to be difficult." Nicole said thoughtfully. Sharon and Andy looked at each other.

"Well, that's good. You'll prepare the nursery while we be in hospital." Andy added.

"They're right. It will not be that difficult." interjected Rusty looking at Nicole. Nicole sighed and smiled.

"Well, I hope. But I'm convinced of one thing: a boy or a girl, we'll love our sibling very much." Sharon and Andy filled with happiness, seeing how much everyone wants the baby in the family.

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

Several hours later, Sharon was in the kitchen and she ate cake. Andy saw it and took the plate. Sharon looked at him angrily.

"What are you doing?" she moaned.

"Sharon, isn't it late for cake?" Sharon took a deep breath and put her hand on her belly.

"Lieutenant Flynn, I warn you. I'm pregnant and I can't refuse any food and you know it very well." Andy sighed, put the plate on the table and hugged her.

"Sharon, I know that, but it's too late. This can cause indigestion." Sharon sighed.

"Well, you're right. I just can't control my emotions." Andy grinned and kissed her cheek.

"I know it's because of the pregnancy. But now, you need to sleep." Sharon smiled.

"Yes, you're right. Before our nocturnal baby to wake us up." Andy snuggled in her silky hair. They went into the bedroom. This time, Andy couldn't sleep. Sharon felt his movements and turned to him sleepy.

"Hey, Andy, what's happening?" Andy sighed and took her hand.

"I'm sorry I woke you Sharon." he said apologetically. Sharon rubbed her eyes and sat close to him.

"Hey, Andy, you look thoughtful. What's wrong? '"

"Just think about the future." Sharon looked confusedly and questioningly.

"What about the future?"

"Just thinking about your words, on that we may be grandparents soon." Sharon smiled and put her head on his shoulder.

"It bothers you?"

"No, actually, I don't know. We'll soon have a baby, and that we can be grandparents makes me feel old." Sharon kissed him softly and looked into his brown eyes.

"Andy, we shouldn't forget that we have grown children. Furthermore, if we're parents and grandparents at the same time, it's a double joy. This doesn't mean that we're old. Stop thinking about it." Sharon's words comforted him. He kissed her forehead.

"You're right." Sharon grinned and put his hand on her belly.

"Can you feel?" she asked. Andy nodded with radiant smile.

"Of course. It's really lovely. ''

"The baby wants to show their presence." said Sharon.

"I can't wait to hug our child." he admitted.

"Me too." she said softly. Andy pressed his lips against hers and kissed her gently.
