A/N: This is the thirty - seventh chapter! I hope you like it. Please review!

In the evening, Sharon was alone with Andy while Rusty, Nicole and Andrea sat in the waiting room. Andy rubbed his eyes slightly and looked smiling at Sharon. She kissed him gently on the lips and handed him a glass of water. Andy took the cup and sighed thoughtfully. Sharon sat carefully beside him.

"Rusty told you Dad." she said. Andy nodded slightly.

"Yes. You can't imagine how happy I am. My dream came true. Rusty told me "Dad." I can't believe it. But I'm very happy." Sharon squeezed his hand.

"I guess. I'm also glad that Rusty was ready to make this difficult step. And the best thing is that he'll already says" dad ", not Andy." Andy chuckled and pulled her gently to himself. He looked into her green eyes and stroked her face.

"I love you so much." Sharon grinned and pulled back slightly.

"I know that, you don't need to say it every time. ''

"Hmm ... Well, then I'll say capricious captain every time you push me away." He frowned. Sharon smiled.

"As you wish lieutenant. But I remind you that you're stubborn. ''

"Oh, me? You're more stubborn than me. Admit it. Otherwise you wouldn't work in your condition. Dr. Nelson warned you several times. Sharon, you don't have to work. You're in the seventh month!" he said sternly. Sharon sighed and rubbed her belly.

"Andy, I also said several times that I'll work until the end of this pregnancy." Andy rolled his eyes, dissatisfied.

"Well, you'll not believe this, but the baby kicked me right now. It also wants to say how stubborn you are." she said brazenly. Andy put his hand on her belly.

"Maybe, it wants to say how capricious you are." he teased. They laughed and Andy hugged her hard, kissing her forehead. Rusty and Nicole sat in the waiting room when Andrea was gone for coffee. Nicole looked at Rusty and smiled.

"Rusty, I'm very glad that you said "Dad", to my father." Rusty nodded slightly.

"Nicole, if I have to be honest, I wanted to tell him "Dad" but couldn't find courage in myself. Now I'm glad I found this courage and told him "dad" and I'll tell him always. After that I realized how important family is. " Nicole squeezed his shoulder.

"I'm glad I have a brother like you, then." Andrea approached them with quick steps, panting.

"Sorry, I'm late." she said apologetically and handed their glasses. She sat next to them and looked at her watch.

"Andrea, you don't need to apologize." Nicole said with a smile.

"Oh, yes. Nicole's right. Calm down." Rusty chuckled.

"Yes, sorry. Sharon is inside with Andy, right?"

"Obviously. They are so in love. Really, I'm glad that Sharon is in my father's life. If I had to compare Sharon with my mother, she's a real mother. They are happy, therefore I am." Nicole laughed.

"Yes, I'm happy for them too. They are an example to us all." Rusty said, sipping his coffee. Andrea laughed. Nicole and Rusty looked at each other.

"Hey, why are you laughing?" Nicole asked, confused.

"Yes, Rusty's right. Sharon and Andy are an example for all of us, but ...- '"

"But what?" Rusty repeated.

"Well, if we exclude their disputes. We all know how much they argue and before they fall in love. '"

"Oh, you're right. I really forgot about it." Nicole grinned. Rusty thought.

"Yes, Mom and Dad argue a lot and they continue. Now they argue about whether the baby is a boy or a girl." Andrea looked at him questioningly.

"Hey, wait a minute. They didn't want to know the sex until the birth. Now why do they argue about?"

"Oh, they are angry at us, but now they began to argue as us." Rusty frowned.

"Rusty's right. We repeatedly told them that we want to know the baby's sex. But they are so stubborn, both." Nicole said. Andrea sighed.

"Oh, I just can imagine how stubborn will be that baby with parents like Sharon and Andy." The three laughed loudly. Back in the room, Sharon handed the pills to Andy. He sighed, frowning.

"Sharon, I have to take them?" Sharon grimaced.

"Andy, you act like a child. Of course you have to take them. Besides, I talked to the doctor. He told me that you can go home after two days. This is good news, right?" she smiled. Andy sighed with relief.

"Definitely. I want to go home and back to work." Sharon looked at him sternly.

"Andy, I'll not let it. You're not going to work. Not in this state. You underwent a complicated surgery." Andy frowned.

"Sharon, please. I'm fine and I can work." She sat beside him.

"Andy, stop acting like a child. The doctor unnecessarily forbid you to go to work before you can fully healed."

"Oh, well. And how many days?" Sharon thought and replied, "I think at least one week." Andy's eyes widened.

"Sharon, you kidding? One week at home? '"

"I'm completely serious, Andy. You always want to be home with me. Here, this is an opportunity for you. But of course, if they don't call me for an emergency."

"Sharon, I can't believe you work in your condition. You very well know that there is a risk of premature labor. What would you do if you go to labor in the office?" Sharon laughed loudly.

"Andy, you're very funny. Of course it'll not happen. There are still two months to the birth and I'll work only if there is an emergency. I promise." she pressed her lips against his.

"Yes, but you know I worry about you and the baby." Sharon smiled and stroked his face.

"I know that. You've been so since the beginning of this pregnancy. But as I said at the beginning, I and the baby are fine. And be sure that I'll not go into labor prematurely." Andy sighed and said, "I hope." Suddenly the door opened and Nicole and Rusty went inside.

"Well, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I would like to see my father." Nicole grinned.

"Oh, definitely." Rusty said with a smile. Sharon and Andy laughed.

"Of course, you can see your father. By the way, where's Andrea?" Sharon asked.

"Oh, she's in the waiting room. Lieutenant Provenza called to ask about Dad." Nicole explained. Andy sighed wearily.

"This man. He always exaggerates." Sharon grinned.

"Andy, you must admit that you two are a very good team together and also very good friends." Andy nodded slightly. Sharon turned her attention to Nicole and Rusty, "Well, you're here. I'll be outside with Andrea."

"Don't worry Mom, we'll be here with Dad." Rusty said with a smile. Sharon smiled and squeezed his shoulder. Nicole and Rusty sat next to Andy. Sharon went into the waiting room. Andrea sat thoughtfully. Sharon sat down beside her and took her hand.

"Oh, Sharon. I'm sorry I didn't understand that you're here." Sharon smiled.

"Andrea, I understand. Is there a problem? '"

"Oh, no, Sharon, don't worry. Everything's fine. I talked to Provenza and told him that Andy is much better." Sharon nodded and leaned back, putting her hand on her belly. Andrea looked at her carefully.

"Sharon, are you okay?" Sharon smiled and sighed wearily.

"I am. I just feel tired and the baby kicks me furiously. Sometimes I feel that inside me there is football ball." Andrea laughed.

"I guess." Sharon looked at her questioningly.

"I don't understand exactly."

"Oh, I wanted to say that ... Actually, just now, Nicole, Rusty and I were discussing your relationship with Andy. And I told them how much stubborn will be your baby, keeping in mind you both. You're pretty stubborn." Sharon laughed.

"Maybe you're right. Okay, I confess. I'm stubborn, but also Andy. Maybe the baby kicks me so." Andrea chuckled.

"Sharon, you mentioned that Emily and Ricky will be in LA before the birth." Sharon sighed.

"Yes, I talked to them several times. They'll call me before they arrive. They are excited a lot for their new sibling, as Nicole and Rusty. I'm very happy about that. The baby is already loved by all." Andrea smiled.

"It's true. Honestly, I can't wait for the baby's arrival. And I want to know if it'll be a boy or a girl. As soon I know, I can buy baby clothes in a certain color." Sharon smiled sadly and thoughtfully. Andrea felt the anxiety in her eyes. She sat closer to her.

"Sharon, don't tell me that you think again about ...-"

"Andrea, I've never stopped thinking about it. We can't pretend that everything will be fine. But I ... I'm afraid that I'll not be able to see my baby." Andrea hushed quietly and squeezed her shoulder comfortingly.

"Sharon, you just need to stop thinking about it. Let's not go back to the beginning, please. Soon Emily and Ricky will be here. Sharon, they need you. Nothing bad will happen, believe me . Relax." Sharon took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

"Andrea, I think I need some fresh air."

"You want to come with you?"

"No, I just want to be alone. I need this after all that happened. I'll be back shortly." Andrea nodded, looking at Sharon, who walked slowly and thoughtfully.

"How are you Dad?" Rusty asked anxiously.

"Much better, don't worry." Nicole smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"You're very strong and stubborn." Rusty laughed.

"Oh, by the way, a little while ago, Andrea told us that the baby will be very stubborn with parents like you." Andy chuckled.

"Well, maybe because Andrea is telling the truth. Sharon is stubborn, and I too. I confess." Rusty and Nicole laughed when Andrea went inside. Andy looked at her carefully.

"Hey, where's Sharon?" he asked, worried.

"She wanted to come out and she said she wants to be alone. '"

"Andrea, why you leave her alone? She's pregnant." Andy said. Andrea sighed.

"Andy, she's stubborn. I'm helpless and you know it. '"

"Okay, calm down. I and Rusty will check." said Nicole.

"Yes, we'll go to Mom, calm down." Rusty added. He and Nicole went out while Andrea sat next to Andy to talk.

"Andy, we really need to talk." Andy looked at her questioningly.

"Something serious?"

"Oh, I actually, don't know. But that's about Sharon."

"Andrea, you're really scaring me." Andy admitted. Andrea took a deep breath and continued, "Andy, I don't know whether we need to worry about that, but I think we're back in the beginning." Andy looked at her confused.

"What do you mean?"

"Andy, I want to say that Sharon thinks the same way and she never stopped to think so. She still thinks she can't see her baby." Andy sighed wearily and closed his eyes for a moment.

"Andrea, I'm really helpless. I really can't get her to stop thinking like that. I'm afraid, because if she still thinks so, this will cause premature labor." Andrea nodded slightly.

"Yes, I'm aware of that. She told me that Emily and Ricky will arrive soon in LA. I hope that at least they'll be able to make her stop this." Andy sighed and shrugged, "I hope." Several hours later, Sharon went into Andy's room. She smiled, seeing that he was asleep. She felt a little kick in her belly and grinned.

"Let's not wake your father. He really needs a rest." She rubbed her belly gently and whispered, "you'll have a great father." Andy suddenly opened his eyes and took her hand.

"Why do you say that?"

"Andy, I thought that you were asleep."

"Sharon, answer me, please." he insisted. She sighed wearily and sat beside him.

"Andy, you know about the dangers of this pregnancy."

"Sharon, you also know that Dr. Nelson said nothing wrong. If there was danger, she would probably say. If you keep thinking this way, it will really lead to premature labor." He frowned. Sharon rolled her eyes wearily.

"Well, I know. Perhaps I exaggerate, but I'm very frightened. You can't understand." Sharon said with tears in her eyes. Andy shushed softly, kissed her forehead and rubbed her back soothingly.

"Sharon, don't talk like that. I understand very well. I beg you, let's think about nice things. You'll see our baby, believe me. Everything will be fine." Sharon smiled gently wiped her tears and put her head on his shoulder.

"Thank you. Perhaps these are symptoms of pregnancy. I distil my nerves." Andy grinned.

"A bit like Julio." Sharon smiled and snuggled into his warm embrace.

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

A few days later, Andy was already home. Nicole was also decided to stay with them until her father recover fully. One morning Rusty was out with friends while Sharon and Nicole were preparing breakfast. Andy, on the other hand, was talking on the phone with Provenza.

"Hey, Provenza, I told you I'm fine. I'm just boring and I miss work really." Provenza laughed.

"Flynn, you're a peculiar person. You always say that you want to be more time at home with Sharon. Now why do you say that?" Andy rolled his eyes dissatisfied.

"My God, Provenza! Of course I want to be more time with Sharon, but I also want to be at work and now I feel like ...- "

"Well, it's just one week, take it easy." Provenza tried to calm him down. Sharon and Nicole laughed, listening to their conversation.

"They both are always so. But they are inseparable friends." Sharon smiled.

"Yes, you're right. That's good. Those who argue much they love each other very much." Nicole grinned. Sharon nodded and put the dishes on the table. Andy hung up angrily. Sharon put her hand on his shoulder.

"Well, what about it?"

"Nothing. Same thing. Provenza, as always, likes to tease me." Sharon chuckled slightly.

"Andy, please. Admit it. You two are very good friends. That's why you behave this way." Andy sighed and shook his head.

"Sharon, Dad, come on, come here." Nicole called from the kitchen. Sharon looked at her watch.

"Well, Andy Flynn, it's time for breakfast. And this time I don't want objection." Andy nodded and smiled, kissing her on the cheek.

"Well, as you wish Captain."

"Hmm ... Do you want help?" she asked.

"Oh, should I ask you, right?" Both they laughed loudly and went to the kitchen to eat breakfast happily.
