A few days later ...

It was the baby's first day home. Everyone was very excited to welcome the little Kate. Andy carefully helped Sharon got out of the car with the baby in her arms. Sharon smiled softly, seeing their older children who stood outside to help them.

"Mom, let me help you." Emily said with a smile. Sharon nodded, watching everything. All together, entered the apartment, and Sharon and Andy were pleasantly surprised seeing the decorations inside.

"Oh, what is this?" asked Sharon, looking at Emily and Nicole, who were smiling.

"Just a few decorations to welcome our little sister." Nicole said and winked at her father.

"I see how much good work you've done, but it was not necessary." Andy said looking around. As he looked around carefully, he suddenly noticed the inscription on which was written "Welcome Kate Flynn." He put his hand on Sharon's shoulder and showed the beautiful inscription. Sharon's eyes filled with tears. She smiled softly to the baby, then turned to her older children smiling.

"I have no words. Everything is prepared so quickly and so beautiful in just a few days. ''

"Mom, everything was Emily's and Nicole's idea." Ricky admitted.

"Yes, if they were not, we wouldn't be able to succeed, but the nursery you'll like it even more." Rusty said with a big smile. Sharon and Andy looked at each other. They were trying to be quiet as possible so as not to wake the baby who had finally fallen asleep after long crying. Emily, Ricky, Nicole and Rusty led Sharon and Andy in their sister's nursery, to show them their decorations. Sharon and Andy were not surprised to see all the nursery in pink and with these beautiful decorations with which it was completed. Sharon looked at the cradle, which unlike the pink color was white. She smiled warmly and kissed the baby's head.

"So how is it?" Emily asked softly with a smile.

"Great job kids." Andy said with a smile.

"It's wonderful. Kate will love her nursery, definitely." Sharon said quietly and smiled.

"Sharon, we also want to hold the baby." Nicole said pleadingly.

"Yes, Mom, please. I want to hold my sister." Emily agreed.

"Same here." Ricky added.

"Hey, I want to hold her too. And besides, we're very excited." Rusty said with a smile. Sharon and Andy grinned, seeing how eager are their older children.

"Kids, the baby now sleeps. You know how hard she fell asleep. Furthermore, let's leave the baby to sleep before she woke up. I promise that all of you will hold your sister." Sharon said as quietly as possible. Andy nodded slightly.

"Your mother's right. Let's have breakfast together during this time. I also know how much you excited to hold your sister, but let's do what your mother says. This is the correct one." Andy said quietly, looking at the baby, which fortunately was still asleep in Sharon's arms.

"Well, good. Then I'll make breakfast." Rusty said firmly.

"Hey, I'll help you." Nicole protested quietly.

"All will help him, let's go Ricky." Emily looked at her brother, who couldn't take his eyes off his little sister. Emily quickly pulled him out of the nursery and they walked into the kitchen while Andy went to Sharon. He smiled gently and stroked his daughter. Sharon looked at Andy, who was already quite accustomed to their new life.

"I'll put her in her cradle." Sharon said quietly and gently put her newborn baby in the cradle. Andy snuggled in Sharon's silky hair and both continued to watch their little princess, who slept sweet.

"Sharon, you too, need a break and breakfast. Let's go in the kitchen." Andy said quietly and squeezed her shoulder. Sharon sighed wearily and looked at Andy.

"Actually, I don't want to leave her. She's like an angel, especially when she's sleeping." Andy smiled and kissed her cheek.

"I know, honey, I don't want too. But she now sleeps and she not needs us. Come on." Andy said quietly and led Sharon outside the nursery. On the other hand, in the kitchen it was like chaos. Rusty sighed wearily and looked at himself. He, again was all in flour. Emily, Nicole and Ricky laughed softly.

"Hey, Rusty, I admit that you really cook well, but you're always into flour." Ricky said with a grin.

"Yes, but I'm glad that we help you." Nicole added, cleaning him. Rusty shook his head.

"We don't expect you here so quickly." Emily said seeing her mother and Andy who came into the kitchen.

"Just the baby's sleeping and I convinced Sharon that we should have breakfast." Andy said with a smile, although Sharon was dour. She sat down and took her phone to check for missed calls. Andy shrugged, looking at Nicole, who looked to Sharon confused.

"Mom, are you okay?" asked Rusty.

"Yes, everything's fine." Sharon said, looking at her phone.

"Breakfast is almost ready." Ricky decided to change the subject. Emily quickly prepare a special breakfast for her mother and put her in front of her. Sharon smiled softly.

"Thank you, Em." Emily smiled contentedly, seeing her mother's smile. Andy sat next to Sharon and looked at her carefully.

"Sharon, you tired?" Sharon shook her head and sighed.

"A little, but that's normal." she said calmly. Andy nodded slightly.

"Dad, don't worry so much. Throughout pregnancy you were worried enough. Sharon needs air. Don't push her so." Nicole reminded him. Rusty cleared his throat and handed a plate of fruit to his mother.

"What's all this now?" Sharon frowned slightly. Basically, she loved the fruit, but not so much.

"Mom, you have to eat healthy, don't forget." Emily said.

"Yes, Sharon, I told Rusty to prepare fruit for you." Andy said with smile. Sharon sighed wearily and took the plate.

"Well, I know, I need to eat healthy." Sharon agreed. All were breakfasting quiet and peaceful. Andy watched Sharon carefully, knowing that she has to listen to the recommendations of the Dr. Nelson for her meal.

"Hey, Emily, let's go to buy more baby clothes for our sister, today." Nicole suggested softly, with a smile.

"This is a great idea Nicole." Emily agreed. Sharon pouted, listening to their conversation.

"Emily, Nicole, you bought enough. Moreover, Andrea bought a lot of baby clothes too. '"

"Yes, the nursery is full of baby clothes and there is no need more, girls." Andy smiled.

"Dad, we've decided that we'll buy some more." Nicole protested.

"Yes, and this we do for our sister." Emily defend. Sharon and Andy looked at each other with a smile. Sharon took her tea when suddenly the baby began to cry.

"Oh, it begins." Andy chuckled. Sharon quickly put the cup down on the table and with quick steps went into the nursery. Nicole smiled softly and said, "Sharon will be very tired."

"Yes, it's true. I'll check." Andy said apologetically and went to the nursery.

"I don't want to say much, but Dad can't stand without Kate even for a second." Rusty grinned.

"Oh, definitely. Andy is a very good father." Ricky said sadly. Emily took his hand.

"Yes, our sister is lucky. We've never had this luck."

"Hey, enough with the drama. We should be happy." Nicole said with a smile and took her orange juice. Andy quietly sat next to Sharon. She'd discovered the joys of breastfeeding again after many years. Andy grinned, seeing how happy is his little daughter.

"We'll be very tired, but especially you." Sharon sighed and shook her head.

"Yes, but it's sweet fatigue. I'm not nursed baby for more than 20 years and now I remembered how good is the feeling. Andy smiled gently. After a few minutes, Sharon took the baby and gently patted her back, listening to her soft belch.

"That's my girl. I hope that now you're more relaxed." she whispered softly with a smile. Andy adored Sharon when she spoke in this way to their daughter. Everything still seemed like a dream. She looked at Andy questioningly.

"Hey, Andy, what do you think?" Andy sighed wearily.

"Well, Sharon, uh ... I mean ... Let's that night to take the baby in our bedroom. She's a newborn." Sharon laughed.

"Oh, Andy, you just need to admit that you can't without her." Andy shrugged.

"Yes, you're right. I don't want to leave my little princess." Sharon smiled softly and handed the baby to Andy.

"You look wonderful with the baby. '"

"Oh, I've always been full of surprises." He grinned slightly teasing her. Suddenly Andy's phone rang. Sharon picked up the phone and smiled, seeing Provenza's name on the screen.

"This is Provenza." she said. Andy rolled his eyes, dissatisfied. "

"Hey Sharon, I'm busy with my daughter. '"

"Andy!" Sharon looked at him sternly. She took Kate in her arms and handed the phone to Andy.

"What happens Provenza?" Andy asked immediately.

"Take it easy, Andy. I just wanted to ask how is your new life?" Andy sighed wearily.

"Great, until you ruin everything. ''

"What?! Hey, Flynn, what have I done? '"

"You fail a special moment between me and my daughter." Andy said angrily.

"Hey, I'm really sorry. But I can't guess. Well, I'll leave you with your daughter alone. Don't worry." Provenza said, grinning and they closed the phone. Sharon patted gently the baby's back and looked at Andy with a smile.

"Why should you scream? He's just your friend and asks if everything's okay." Andy sighed and shook his head.

"Well, Sharon, let's not fail this moment. Give me Kate, come on." Sharon chuckled lightly and handed their newborn daughter to him. Andy loved to hold Kate in his arms. She'd grabbed his heart before she was born. Sharon sat wearily watching these cute little moments between father and daughter. After a few minutes, Andy chuckled.

"Hey, you, my minx."

"Oh, this time I'm convinced that she cries for ..." Sharon chuckled softly and took the diaper bag.

"Well, Lieutenant Flynn, you may want to change the diapers?" Andy looked at her confused.

"Well, Sharon, I ... uh ... I'm not sure." Sharon laughed and took the baby to change her diaper.

"Well, I understand. Your daddy probably can't handle." Sharon teased, speaking to the newborn.

"Hey, I didn't say that." Andy protested. Sharon smiled brazenly.

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

Tonight, Emily, Ricky, Nicole and Rusty were constantly with Kate. Sharon and Andy watched them happily with a smile. Andy put his hand on Sharon's shoulder.

"They are so happy with Kate. ''

"Definitely. Kate brought a lot of happiness in our lives, don't you think?" Sharon said quietly, grinning.

"That's the truth. Sharon, thank you. I'm very happy. And Kate is our gift. I'm glad that I am with you and our daughter. Now our family is complete." Sharon smiled and kissed him gently.

"I love you."

"I love you more." he teased softly. They headed to their older children arguing to whom looks like their little sister.

"Hey, kids, what's going on here?" Andy asked, confused.

"Dad, I want to explain to my siblings, that our sister looks like her parents." Rusty said.

"Hey, it looks like mom." Ricky protested.

"That's not true, she looks like dad." Nicole said firmly.

"You're not right." Emily said.

"Enough! You behave like small children. Calm down. The baby looks like her parents. I don't want to argue anymore." Sharon said sternly.

"Yes, enough. You mustn't argue for these trifles." Andy said firmly. All shrugged apologetically. When the baby began to cry, Sharon shook her head and took the baby in her arms.

"Thank you for making this. "She said sternly, and went into the bedroom. Andy sighed wearily and followed her. Emily, Ricky, Nicole and Rusty sat on the couch.

"It was not right." Nicole shrugged. Emily pouted.

"Yes you're right."

"We have to apologize." Ricky said.

"Hey, we'll apologize tomorrow. At the moment they are angry." Rusty suggested.

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

The night was quiet. Sharon and Andy slept peacefully with Kate between them. It was 2am when the baby began to cry. Sharon frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes, seeing that Andy still sleeping peacefully. She nudged him slightly.

"Andy ... Please take care ... I'm pretty tired." she murmured sleepily. Andy opened his eyes sleepily.

"Sharon, what's happening? Why you wake me? '"

"Andy, I don't wake you. The baby cries, take care, I'm tired." She looked at him imploringly. Andy rubbed his eyes and sighed wearily. He took his daughter in his arms and gently patted her back.

"Well, my princess, mummy is tired. Oh well. I'll change your diapers." Sharon was fast asleep from fatigue. Andy smiled and kissed her forehead. He carefully put the baby on the bed and got out of bed to take the diaper bag. Andy smiled and quietly muttered to the baby, "Well, mummy doesn't want to do the hard stuff, huh?" Sharon heard this little conversation and smiled. She yawned and opened her eyes, looking at Andy and Kate. She stood up in the bed and sat closer to Andy. She put her hand on his shoulder and smiled.

"You're a wonderful father, Lieutenant." Andy grinned slightly.

"As you're so good mother, Captain." he teased. Andy changed the baby's diapers and changed her clothes.

"And now, let's go to mummy." he chuckled and handed the baby to Sharon. Sharon kissed the baby's head and patted her back gently.

"She's peaceful and only you're doing so well." she noted. Andy sighed, looking at the newborn.

"I try not to make the same mistakes I made in the past with Nicole. I want to be a good father. '"

"You are." Sharon said quietly with a smile while they slept with their little daughter.

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

The next morning, Andy was forced to go to a crime scene. Emily, Ricky, Nicole and Rusty had gone to shopping. Sharon was grateful that he had visited Andrea. She took the little Kate in her arms.

"Sharon, I'm so happy for you to Andy and I'm grateful that you chose me for godmother." Sharon smiled.

"There is no anyone other than you. Do you want a cup of coffee?" Andrea nodded. After a few minutes, Sharon handed the coffee cup to Andrea and took the baby, which was more relaxed in her arms.

"So, how is Andy with the baby?" Andrea asked curiously. Sharon grinned, looking at the newborn.

"Oh, he's just in love with his daughter. He is a great dad and I'm grateful for that. This morning, he split with Kate with difficulty to go to a crime scene." Andrea smiled and sipped her coffee.

"I guess. I'm convinced that Andy is a great father."

"He is." Sharon agreed with a smile.
