Sharon felt happy in the company of her family this morning. Especially when Emily and Ricky were already with her after many months. Andy stood in the kitchen thoughtfully with a glass of water and watched them. He wanted to talk to them about his surprise for Sharon, but he had to be careful.
"Well, this morning, I'll prepare a special breakfast for you." Rusty said proudly. Sharon smiled softly. Emily and Ricky looked at each other with surprise.
"I hear you correctly?" Emily said, looking at Rusty. "
"Yes, I think we heard correctly. You'll really make breakfast?" Ricky asked, grinning. Rusty shook his head, and sighed.
"What do you think? Of course I can cook as my father Andy." Sharon took his hand.
"Emily, Ricky, he's right. Rusty cook great, especially in Andy's company."
"Oh, then I can't wait to try on your breakfast." Emily said with a smile.
"Ah, you just have to see his capabilities." Nicole said with a smile and winked at Rusty.
"It'll be really interesting." Ricky added irritating.
"Oh, you'll see soon." Rusty said firmly, and went to the kitchen. He saw Andy, who still stood thoughtfully looking at the living room. Rusty put his hand on his shoulder and Andy dropped the cup.
"Hey, Dad, are you okay?" he asked concerned. Andy smiled.
"Everything's fine." Rusty stared at him questioningly.
"Hey, I think that you're hiding something." Andy sighed wearily and pulled him aside.
"Actually, Rusty, I want to talk to you privately, but I don't want Sharon to hear us." Andy said quietly. Rusty looked at him confused.
"I don't understand. What are you talking about?" Andy sighed, looking at the living room, he continued, "Look, I want to talk to you, Emily, Ricky and Nicole on one my surprise that I want to do to Sharon, but I need your help." Rusty no longer understand anything.
"Dad, stop talking like a crossword. ''
"Hey, quietly." Andy warned. Rusty sighed and looked at his watch.
"You know, Dad, I have to prepare breakfast. I promised this at all, so let's talk after breakfast." Rusty pulled away to start to prepare breakfast for the whole family. Andy nodded slightly.
"Okay, but I want you to do me one more favor."
"What favor?" Rusty asked.
"I want your advice. I don't want your mother to hear what I'll talk to you." Rusty took a deep breath and thought.
"Well, Dad, she's pregnant. You'll just tell her that she should rest in her room." Andy smiled and hugged Rusty.
"Thank you." Rusty laughed slightly. Andy went back into the living room and joined the others. Sharon looked at him carefully.
"What are you doing in the kitchen so long?" Andy sighed and took her hand.
"I just said some important things to Rusty on cooking. ''
"Oh, Andy, I really didn't know that you can cook." Emily said with a smile.
"My father is an expert in the kitchen." Nicole said proudly.
"I'm convinced of that." Ricky added.
"No, guys, it's not true. I probably don't cook as a specialist, but good." Sharon laughed.
"Andy, why do you have to hide? Nicole told the truth. You cook wonderful. In addition, I would like you to do something special for Emily and Ricky. ''
"Oh, yes, please, Andy." Emily asked and took his hand.
"Hey, Andy, Rusty prepares breakfast. Let's you make us a special dinner. I would like to see something made by you, really." Ricky said with a smile. Andy looked at Sharon.
"Okay, then. I promise. I'll prepare dinner for you." Nicole decided to check what makes Rusty and went into the kitchen. Entering the kitchen, she laughed. Rusty looked at her sternly.
"What's wrong?"
"My God, Rusty! You're all in flour." Rusty looked at him and laughed.
"Yes, actually, you're right. But I cook Nicole. This is normal." Nicole nodded with a smile and looked at the pancakes.
"They look pretty tasty. Emily and Ricky will like them a lot, I'm sure." Rusty nodded slightly.
"Thank you. I hope that they'll like. Nicole, Dad wants to talk something with us. I understand he wants to make a special surprise to Mom. You also have to help us. He doesn't want this surprise to be spoiled. " Nicole looked at him confusedly and questioningly.
"Honestly, I don't understand. What do you mean?" Rusty looked at the living room and said quietly, "Look, you know that she's pregnant and she needs to rest. We have to take her to her room after breakfast so we can talk." Nicole turned around and replied, "Rusty, I don't think she'll agree. Emily and Ricky arrived today. She'll probably want to be with them. You know how stubborn is she when she's still working in her condition." Rusty sighed and shrugged.
"Of course I do. That's what I want help. So will you help us?" Nicole smiled and nodded slightly.
"Where's Nicole?" Emily asked, looking around.
"Oh, she wanted to check Rusty." Sharon responded with a smile and patted her belly.
"What if Nicole help Rusty? He said he wants to do everything himself." Ricky said curiously.
"No, she'll not help him. Be sure." Andy assured him. Ricky grinned.
"Hey, whats up?" Emily asked her brother.
"Nothing. Just I thought. Very soon we'll have a sibling. "
"Oh, yes, I'm really excited." Emily admitted after turning her attention to her mother, she said, "Mom, the baby kicking you?" Sharon smiled and rubbed her belly gently.
"Emily, it doesn't stop moving. I feel that the baby can't wait to meet you." Andy grinned, listening to their conversation. Emily immediately sat next to her mother.
"Well, I can feel it?" Sharon kissed Emily on the cheek and took her hand and pressed it to her skin. Emily's eyes widened, feeling the baby's furious kicks.
"My God! I feel those kicks." Ricky laughed.
"Of course you will feel. The baby is alive." Sharon grinned, listening the disputes of her two older children.
"Stop arguing. You behave like children." Sharon said sternly.
"Mom, he started first." Emily said brazenly, looking at Ricky.
"Well, somebody wants to have breakfast?" Rusty asked suddenly. Andy sighed with relief and squeezed his shoulder.
"Just in time, Rusty. There could occur big scandal." Andy said jokingly. Rusty was surprised.
"Well, never mind. Let's have breakfast now." Andy looked at his watch and took Sharon's hand.
"Come on, honey, I'll help you." Emily smiled, seeing Andy's great concern to her mother. Andy carefully helped Sharon to the kitchen. When Sharon sat down, she sighed wearily.
"I have a big belly. I can't even move." she moaned. Everyone laughed.
"Mom, you're pregnant. This is quite normal." Emily reassured her.
"Yes Mom, calm down." Ricky said and took her hand.
"Emily, Ricky, it doesn't make sense. We repeat the same from the beginning, but Sharon continues to behave like this." Nicole said and looked at Sharon.
"Oh, I can't believe it. Mom, really?" Emily asked with surprise. Andy sighed and squeezed Sharon's hand.
"Honey, you're eight months pregnant. Moreover, your belly is not "huge." Calm down, please." Sharon took a deep breath. In the end, they were right. Maybe she exaggerated everything. Fortunately, Rusty began to serve his special breakfast, which soften the situation with a few jokes.
"Hey, Rusty, it looks really great." Emily said, looking at the beautiful pancakes. Rusty smiled.
"I hope you like it, then." Ricky chuckled slightly.
"Hey, Ricky, what happens? Rusty asked annoyed by his behavior.
"Rusty, calm down. I'm your brother. I just like to joke. But if I have to be honest, they smell wonderful."
"Ricky has very cold jokes." Emily said brazenly. Ricky nudged her slightly.
"Please stop. Your mother is pregnant." Andy reminded them. Emily and Ricky nodded slightly. They began have breakfast with Rusty's pancakes.
"Hmm .. Rusty, you were a great chef." Emily said with a smile.
"Thanks Em."
"Hey, it's very tasty. I want the recipe." Ricky said jokingly. Everyone laughed. Sharon felt great happiness for the fact that she was with her family. At one point, she thought lightly while the others were talking. Andy looked at her carefully and gently took her hand.
"Are you okay?" Sharon nodded and smiled.
"Yes, I just suddenly felt slightly dizzy, but that's from exhaustion. ''
"Sharon, I warned you that you don't have to work. Dr. Nelson ...- '"
"Andy, stop please. I'm fine, the baby's fine. But I think I need some rest." Andy nodded slightly. They all looked at them confused.
"Dad, what's up?" Nicole asked anxiously.
"Sharon feels tired, I'll take her to the bedroom."
"This could be serious. Let's get in touch with the doctor." Emily suggested worried.
"Yes, Emily's right." Ricky said, looking at his mother. Sharon smiled softly and said, "I'm fine, don't worry. I just need to rest. ''
"Are you sure?" asked Rusty.
"Absolutely."
"OK, let's go to the bedroom. You need a break." said Andy and slowly led her into the bedroom.
"I worry about mom." Emily admitted.
"Me too." Ricky said with a sad look. Nicole and Rusty looked at each other.
"Actually, this is a difficult pregnancy. Sharon and baby are at risk."
"What this means, Nicole?" Emily asked. Nicole took a deep breath.
"I don't want to think that, but Dr. Nelson said that may occur complications at the birth. But she said that at the moment Sharon and the baby are fine."
"What complications?" asked Ricky concerned.
"No, it's not definite. There's just such a possibility ... but we're confident that everything will be fine." Rusty assured them.
"Mom and the baby will be good, right?" Emily asked with fear. Nicole nodded with a smile.
"Em, we must think positively. I'm confident that everything will be okay, though ...- "
"Though what?" Ricky repeated. At this point, Andy returned to them.
"Andy, how's Mom?" Emily asked. Andy sighed wearily and sat down to answer them, "She's okay, don't worry."
"Andy, is it true that there is a risk for mom and the baby?" Ricky asked immediately. Andy looked at him with a sad smile. He squeezed his hand.
"Ricky, I wouldn't lie to you. There is such a possibility, unfortunately. But I'm convinced that she and the baby will be fine." he said hopefully.
"Hey, Dad, you wanted to talk to us about your surprise for Mom." Rusty reminded him. Andy nodded slightly.
"Yes, actually, I want to make a proposal of marriage to Sharon before the birth. I don't have much time, so you must help me. I don't want she to doubt something." Andy said quietly. Emily and Ricky smiled.
"Andy, you know, you're very different. I'm grateful that you're with Mom. Our father never was so concerned about her." Emily said sadly.
"Yeah, Andy, you're quite different. We've never seen mom so happy. I hope this will be so forever." Ricky said with a smile. Andy smiled and embraced them.
"You are like my children, remember. Besides, I really love Sharon and I'll be with her always. '"
"We know that." Emily said.
"Well, stop with these sad stories. Let's help dad make a big surprise to Sharon." Nicole suggested.
"Actually, I was asked Provenza, but he refused, saying to do it alone."
"Oh, this lieutenant ..." muttered Rusty.
"OK, Andy, you want to make this proposal?" Emily asked curiously.
"Tonight." Ricky's eyes widened.
"Tonight? But what will you do in such a short time?" Andy grinned slightly.
"I'm going to take Sharon to the restaurant where I'll make her a proposal of marriage. Later, we'll take a walk where there will be another surprise. ''
"Another surprise?" What? "Asked Rusty.
"In the sky will be painted a special inscription, I arranged everything." Nicole smiled and hugged her father.
"You're so romantic."

That evening, Sharon was reading a magazine in the bedroom when Andy quietly come to her. She smiled softly and took off "her glasses. Andy sat down beside her and kissed her forehead.
"You ok?" Sharon nodded with a smile.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Andy smiled contentedly and rubbed her belly, feeling their baby's kicks.
"Hey, you ..." Sharon grinned and stroked his cheek.
"Andy, are you sure you'll not forget me when the baby is born?" Andy looked at her questioningly.
"My God, Sharon! Why would I forget you?" Sharon sighed and shrugged.
"When the baby is born, you'll forget about me. You'll do more attention to the baby than me." Andy smiled and took her in his arms. He rubbed her back soothingly.
"Sharon, you act like a child. This will be our child. You'll love the baby, how I do. Besides, I'll never forget you. I love you and thank you for this wonderful opportunity." Sharon smiled, thinking how happy she is with Andy. She snuggled into him and closed her eyes for a moment.
"Well, Sharon, get ready." Andy said with a smile. Sharon looked at him confused.
"But why?"
"It's a little surprise. We'll go to a restaurant." Sharon sighed and rolled her eyes, dissatisfied.
"Andy, I think I can't move this huge belly. I'm not in a mood." Andy gently pressed his lips against hers.
"I'm here dear, I'll help you. Please." He looked at her pleadingly. Sharon chuckled slightly.
"Hmm ... I just felt a small kick, which tells me that I have to agree." Andy grinned and helped Sharon to prepare. On the other hand, Rusty, Nicole, Emily and Ricky decided to go to the movies together. Several hours later, Sharon and Andy were in the restaurant. Andy's hands trembled and he didn't know how to make her marriage proposal. Sharon looked at him carefully. She gently took his hand.
"Andy, everything okay?"
"Yes, dear, everything. Don't worry." he said with a smile. While she was looking at the food, he pulled a small box from his pocket. He knelt before her and it surprised Sharon. She looked around and then looked at Andy.
"What are you doing?" she asked, confused. He smiled and shushed softly. He opened the little red box in which there was a adorable ring. Sharon's eyes filled with tears.
"Sharon, I love you very much and want to be with you forever. You brighten my life like the sun that rises every morning. When I wake up, I want you to always be with me. Will you marry me?" Sharon was left without words. She felt the happiest woman in the world. Andy looked at her with a smile. He wanted to make this proposal a long time ago, but had never found a suitable moment. Sharon kissed him gently.
"Yes. I accept. I want to be with you forever, Andy. I love you. I will marry you. Ten thousandth times YES! She said loudly. Andy hugged her and kissed her. He gently put the ring on her finger.
"Sharon, you can't imagine how happy I am." Sharon smiled softly and stroked his face. About 1 hour later, they were walking slowly. Sharon put her head on his shoulder. She felt tired, but happy at the same time. Suddenly they heard fireworks. Andy smiled, looking at Sharon, who was surprised. She looked at the sky and saw the inscription, "Sharon, I love you." She looked at Andy.
"Andy, I can't believe it. You're so romantic. I've never felt so special and happy." Andy kissed her on the cheek and squeezed her hand.
"I would do anything for your smile Sharon. I love you." She hugged him tightly.
"I love you very much."
**********...*************
The next day, Sharon was firmly determined to work despite Andy and children's warnings. They went to Sharon's office. At this point, Provenza spoke with Andrea. They slowly approached Sharon and Andy.
"Oh, Captain! I can't believe you're here. You need to be on maternity leave." Provenza said sternly. Sharon laughed.
"I know Lieutenant. Today I came for the last time. I would like to tell you when I'm on maternity leave, you'll replace me here. So, I want to say that until I come back you'll be the captain here." Provenza smiled.
"Thank you for this honor." Andrea looked at her sternly.
"Sharon, you're so stubborn. You come here in this condition. My God! '"
"I tried to talk her, but ..." Andy muttered. Sharon grinned.
"Well, Flynn, we have to go to the crime scene immediately. The rest of the team are already there. Hurry." Provenza said immediately. Andy rolled his eyes and walked with him while Sharon and Andrea came into office.
"Andrea, you can't believe what happened last night."
"What?" Andrea asked curiously. Sharon showed the ring on her hand. Andrea's eyes widened.
"So beautiful ring."
"Last night, Andy propose me a marriage." Andrea smiled and hugged her.
"This is great news, Sharon. I'm so glad. ''
"Me too. I'm grateful that Andy is in my life." Andrea looked at Provenza's desk.
"Oh, I forgot my coffee. I come shortly." Sharon nodded with a smile. She glanced at the papers on her desk and sighed. Suddenly she felt a slight pain. She took a deep breath and rubbed her belly.
"Well, little one, everything's fine." she murmured softly when she felt a strong contraction. Sharon put her hands on her desk.
"Well, it's still quite early." She muttered to herself when the next contraction hit her body.
"Oh, my God!" In fact, Sharon had received several weak contractions this morning. But she still hoped that these contractions are false, as there were weeks until her term. A few minutes later, Andrea returned to the office. She immediately went to Sharon.
"What's happening? Sharon, are you okay?" Sharon took a few shallow breaths. Suddenly, her eyes widened, feeling the warm water running down her legs. She looked at Andrea with fear.
"Andrea, my water just broke." Andrea went into shock, looking at the small puddle of water on the ground.
