A/N: This is the forty-first chapter! I hope you like it! Please review!
Andy stood petrified, his thoughts in Sharon. His heart sank at the thought that he might lose her. He wiped his tears slightly. Emily, Ricky, Nicole and Rusty looked at each other and their fear grew as they watched Andy. Andrea sighed wearily.
"Andy will not you say something? You sit here for half an hour and didn't say anything. What happened? How are Sharon and the baby?"
"Andy, you really scared us. How's Mom? And the baby?" Emily asked with fear. Nicole sat beside her father and looked at him closely. She could see the worry in his eyes. She hugged him comfortingly.
"Dad, please. The doctors are still inside. At least you tell us what's happening." Andy shrugged as if he would cry every moment. At this point Provenza came breathlessly to them, seeing that Andy sits petrified in the waiting room.
"Hey, Flynn, what's happening? Is everything okay? Why do you stay here?" Andy closed his eyes for a moment and to avoid any questions, he replied quietly, "I don't know. I can't be happy. I have a healthy daughter, but ... I'm afraid for Sharon. Suddenly she fell unconsciousness. And now. ... " he swallowed the lump in his throat, feeling that he couldn't continue. Ricky's eyes filled with tears.
"Does this mean that Mom ..." Andrea quickly shushed.
"Don't say that. She'll be good. Sharon will be fine. Everything will be all right. Let Dr. Nelson to give us detailed information. They're still inside and we don't know anything. We can't say anything until the doctor say something. " Provenza nodded.
"Andrea's right. Everything will be fine. Andy, she's a strong woman." He squeezed his shoulder reassuringly. Andy looked at him with a sad smile.
"I don't want to lose her."
"Me too." Emily said sadly. Ricky hugged her hard.
"Stop this nonsense!" cuts sharply Rusty, who was listening to the whole conversation so far. "Stop! Mom will be good, and our sister. You just have to think positively and wait Dr. Nelson." Andrea smiled slightly.
"Rusty said very correctly. We have to wait for Dr. Nelson. I'm convinced that Sharon will be well. Andy, calm down. Emily, Ricky, Nicole, you have to think positive. Believe me, everything will be fine." Although Andrea was saying these words, she repeatedly recalled their conversations with Sharon. Sharon always said that if something happens to her, she can take care of her child. Despite this, however, Andrea was convinced that her friend will be fine. She was a strong woman and she would never refused to fight.
Suddenly, the door opened and Dr. Nelson approached them. Andy immediately stood before her. As if his heart stopped for a moment. He couldn't catch his breath. Fear was filled his heart with what he was about to hear. Dr. Nelson smiled slightly and all looked at her in surprise. Andy cleared his throat and finally managed to find the courage to ask how she is.
"How is Sharon?" he asked reliably.
"Calm down everyone. Sharon is very good. She fainted from blood loss, but at the moment Sharon and baby are very well. Don't worry." Hearing these words, all breathed a sigh of relief. Provenza immediately hugged his friend. Andy felt very happy and calm because Sharon and his daughter were healthy. Emily, Ricky, Nicole and Rusty were very happy to hear the news of their little sister.
"We have a sister! Another girl on the team!" Nicole grinned.
"Hey, this doesn't mean that we'll be helpless against you." Rusty teased.
"Hey, Rusty, I think you just have to wait. We're more girls." Emily chuckled.
"Oh, Emily, you just need to stop." Ricky said quietly.
"Well, stop arguing. The important thing is that Sharon and the baby are fine." Andrea reminded them.
"Can we see Sharon?" asked Andy.
"Of course. She's already in her room. I'm very glad because although the baby is born early, she's in excellent health. Congratulations." said Dr. Nelson smiling, and walked to her office.
"Congratulations Andy. I'm really happy for you. I'll tell the team about the good news." Provenza said smiling and grabbed the phone.
"Andy, you go first. We'll wait here." Emily suggested.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, Emily's right. Come on, go inside. We'll join later." Andrea said. Andy nodded smiling and went to Sharon's room. Emily, Ricky, Nicole and Rusty sat in the waiting room.
"I'll go for coffee." Andrea said.
"Hey, we know that we have a sister. Now we can decorate the nursery, while Sharon and the baby are in the hospital." Nicole said with a smile.
"Yes, that would be great. The whole room in pink." Emily said dreamily. Ricky and Rusty laughed.
"What's so funny?" asked Nicole.
"No, nothing. We just think about the decorations." Rusty said innocently.
"Let's start the preparations today. We've waited too long for this moment." Ricky added. Emily and Nicole looked at each other.
"Yeah, not a bad idea. Let's start today. In addition, we'll be able to buy baby clothes in a certain color - pink." Nicole smiled broadly. As they continued to talk, and while Provenza informed the team Andy quietly entered Sharon's room. Seeing that she is sleeping calmly, he smiled and sat quietly beside her. He gently took her hand and kissed her forehead. Sharon slowly opened her eyes and gave him a slight smile. She put her hand on her belly. She immediately thought of the baby.
"The baby." she said, almost without force. Andy hushed quietly and squeezed her hand.
"The baby's fine, Sharon. It's okay. Don't worry. Our little daughter is very healthy." he assured her. Sharon sighed with relief.
"We have a daughter. Andy, I'm very happy. I want to see her." she said impatiently. Andy smiled.
"The nurses will bring soon. Sharon, thank you. You can't imagine how afraid I was that something will happen." Sharon stroked his face, and said softly, "I also was afraid. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to see my baby. Now, I feel grateful. I'm grateful that I have this chance. I'm happy." Andy pressed his lips against hers and kissed her gently.
"Everyone is very happy. The kids don't stop to talk about the preparations for the nursery. They are very happy, as Provenza, currently inform the team and oh, yes, Andrea, who is very happy godmother." Sharon chuckled lightly, feeling that her throat was dry.
"Andy, can you give me a glass of water?"
"Of course, honey." He immediately handed her a glass of water and smiled, seeing how quickly she drank it. Suddenly the door opened and Emily, Ricky, Nicole and Rusty went inside.
"Well, sorry to interrupt you." Emily joked.
"Hey, come here." Andy said with a smile.
"Mom, are you okay?" immediately asked Ricky. Sharon smiled and replied, "I'm fine dear. Don't worry. '"
"Mom, we are very happy. We have a sister and you're too well. It's a great joy for us." Rusty grinned.
"Sharon we'll begin the decorations for the nursery. We already know the baby's sex." Nicole interrupted jokingly. Sharon laughed.
"You all know and have peace of mind, right?"
"Of course Mom, you and Andy hid this from us nine months. But now we know." Emily smiled. Sharon sighed wearily.
"The only thing I want is to see my daughter. Andy, please tell them to bring my baby." Sharon said impatiently. Andy took her hand.
"Calm down Sharon. After a while you will hold our baby in your arms."
"To be honest, we also can't wait. I want to see my little sister." Nicole sighed with a smile. Emily put her hand on her shoulder.
"Mom, don't worry. We'll help you with the baby. I mean, if she woke up at 2am I can take care of her." Rusty said proudly with the feeling that he has become a big brother. Sharon and Andy laughed.
"I don't think you'll be able to cope with changing diapers." Andy grinned.
"You're right, Andy. Rusty, admit it. You'll not be able to change diapers." Ricky teased. Rusty looked at him sternly.
"Why not? I can take care of my sister." he insisted. Sharon smiled and said, "Rusty, I have no doubt that you'll be a good big brother. But, let, me and Andy to take care of changing the diapers." She looked at him brazenly. Andy looked at her confused.
"Hey, Sharon, look, it's been a long time. I changed diapers, when Nicole was a baby. I'm not sure I can do this." He shrugged. Nicole smirked.
"Don't worry, Dad. You can. I'm convinced." Everyone laughed when suddenly the door opened and Dr. Nelson came inside with a nurse who was holding the baby. Sharon's eyes widened.
"How are you, Sharon?" immediately asked Dr. Nelson with a smile. Sharon nodded slightly.
"I'm fine, but I want to hold my daughter. '"
"Don't worry Sharon. You'll hold your baby. I'm glad that everything's fine, though the baby is born early. Don't forget also that the first nursing is very important. I hope that everything will be fine and henceforth, also." Sharon nodded smiling, seeing how her children watch on the baby.
"She is so beautiful!" Nicole said, smiling at the baby in the hands of the nurse.
"She's so small." Emily said softly. When the little baby yawned, everyone laughed.
"I hope she doesn't cry much, however." Ricky said jokingly.
"Oh, Ricky, she's a baby. Of course she'll cry." Rusty frowned slightly.
"Well, I think it's time to give the baby to her parents." said smiling Dr. Nelson. The nurse walked over to Sharon and carefully handed the baby. Sharon's eyes filled with tears of happiness, the feeling to hold her baby for the first time. Andy smiled and kissed his little daughter.
"Hello Kate Liz Flynn. I am your mother and I love you very much." Sharon said softly with a smile.
"She's my little princess. Sharon, look at her. She's so beautiful. I'm confident that she'll like you." Emily, Ricky, Nicole and Rusty came to Sharon and Andy and smiled looking at their little sister.
"Oh, she's so small and beautiful. I can't believe it. I think we waited too long for this moment." Nicole said.
"Yes, Nicole. I counted the months until this day." Rusty admitted.
"But she is with us." Emily said.
"Yes, let's leave them alone." Ricky suggested quietly. Sharon and Andy couldn't hear anything. They couldn't take their eyes off their little daughter. Andy kissed Sharon's forehead.
"Thank you, Sharon. Thanks for this chance, for our little princess." Sharon smiled and looked into his brown eyes with love.
"You want to hold our daughter, Lieutenant?" Andy looked at her with surprise.
"Sharon, I'm not sure. I probably forgot." Sharon, however, carefully handed the baby to him.
"Hold her tight." she said. Andy didn't know how he feels. He held his daughter for the first time. Different emotions went through him at this time. Emily, Ricky, Nicole and Rusty came in the waiting room. Andrea breathlessly approached them and handed them their cups of coffee.
"Well, did you see the baby?" she asked immediately.
"Oh, Andrea, she's a real beauty." said Nicole.
"Yes, Andrea, you need to see her. You'll love her." Rusty said with a smile.
"Oh, I'm sure of it. But I would like to leave Sharon and Andy alone with their daughter. '"
"Yes, Andrea, you're right." Emily agreed. Ricky looked at his watch and said, "Come on, let's start with the decorations for the nursery." Andrea smiled.
"Good luck!"

On the other hand, Provenza and the rest of the team were very happy with the news.
"I can't believe it. This is such good news. Now, when I remember the day that I bought these pregnancy tests for the captain ..." sighed Amy.
"Time flies. Like it was yesterday when we were invited to dinner to tell us that the captain is pregnant." Julio said.
"Yes it is, but already, the happiest moment comes. The baby is already here." Mike said with a smile.
"You're right. I can imagine how happy are the captain and lieutenant Flynn." Buzz said. Provenza grinned and sat on his desk.
"Tomorrow all will make a visit and see little Kate."
"Hey, her name is Kate? This is wonderful." said Amy. Provenza nodded.
Andy was still holding his little daughter. Sharon watched them with a smile.
"I was convinced that you'll be a very good father and now I see it with my eyes. You're a great dad Andy." Andy smiled softly and looking at Kate, he said, "I'll try to be a good father and not to allow the same mistakes of the past. "Sharon put her hand on his shoulder.
"Believe me, you'll be a great father." At that moment, the door opened and Andrea went inside.
"Can I intrude, happy family?" she said with a smile.
"Andrea, I'm so glad that you're here." Sharon smiled. Andrea approached them.
"Oh, this is our little princess. Hey, Andy, I can't believe that you hold the baby so well." Andrea joked.
"Andrea, you want to keep her as her godmother?" Andy suggested with a smile. Andrea nodded slightly and took the baby in her arms.
"She's so beautiful. Sharon, she would be just like her mother. Brave woman who never gives up, no matter what." Sharon smiled and sighed wearily.
"I hope this Andrea, really." Andy took her hand.
"I have no doubt that Kate will be like her mother." Andrea, too, couldn't take her eyes off the little baby who seemed, smiled at her.
***********...***********
Tonight, Sharon was nursing her baby for the first time. For the first time, after so many years, she felt the same. With Emily and Ricky the feeling it was also beautiful, but with Kate was all different. She fed her little daughter and smiled. Sharon immediately began to sing a lullaby. Andy adored Sharon's voice. He felt lucky with Sharon and now, with their child. He sat closer to her and stroked her daughter. Sharon smiled, seeing how the baby falls asleep in her arms.
"Sharon, you tired?" Andy asked quietly. Sharon shook her head.
"No, I feel fine. Completely forgot about fatigue. My little princess made me forget everything." Andy nodded with a smile.
"Yes, you're right. She's so beautiful. Sharon, I never imagined that I would have such a beautiful family with you." Sharon smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"You'll always have us. Now, when I remember the old days ... I can't believe I ever thought about abortion." Andy hushed quietly.
"Don't think about the past, Sharon. Our Kate is here with us and always will be." Sharon smiled as they looked at their little daughter, who was the most beautiful gift in their lives.
