Chapter 7
The next morning, Andy woke up near Sharon's warm body. To wake up and see her beautiful green eyes, it was perhaps one of the things he really loves. He took her in his arms and kissed her softly on the forehead. Sharon opened her eyes with a smile and touched his face.
"Andy." she said, almost as a whisper.
"It's okay, honey. We're fine." He assured her then he kissed her again. Sharon closed her eyes for a moment and put her hand on her belly, feeling a slight pain. Andy looked at her carefully, seeing her discomfort.
"Hey, Sharon, are you okay?" he asked anxiously. Sharon bit her lip and almost screamed from the pain she felt.
"Not very well. It hurts." she hissed and took a deep breath, clutching her stomach.
"What hurts?" he asked more concerned than ever.
"My belly. Andy, it hurts me." she said with a trembling voice and her eyes was filled with fear. Suddenly, Andy's eyes widened, seeing how much blood she lost.
"Sharon, you lose blood! I'll call the paramedics." he panicked, seeing the scene in front of him and immediately grabbed his phone. Sharon wanted to tell him that she knows the reason that there is no sense that it was too late, but she had no power. After Sharon was in the hospital, the doctors immediately took care of her. Andy didn't know what was the reason, why Sharon has lost so much blood, but apparently, he wouldn't be pleased with the outcome. It'd been several hours and Andy was impatient waiting for the doctors to tell him anything about Sharon's condition. He was standing in the waiting room almost three hours and he'd failed to notify Provenza that he and Sharon can't be at work today. The only thing he wanted to know was whether Sharon's fine. But the result really surprised them both. Sharon had lost a baby. But how this could be possible at her age? She couldn't believe that this is happening to her. She'd lost her baby forever without even knowing that she's pregnant. Upon learning the truth, Andy quickly went to her room, but Sharon was terribly angry and she didn't want to see Andy right now.
"Sharon, honey, I just learned the truth. Why didn't you say anything? Why didn't you say that you're pregnant?" he asked sadly and swallowed the lump in his throat, feeling the pain of this loss.
"Because I didn't know! I didn't know I was pregnant! I'm not expecting anything like that, but you're guilty of everything Andy Flynn! Because of you I lost my unborn child! It's your fault!" Sharon shouted with rage and began to cry loudly. Andy wanted to reassure her, but he knew that this wasn't possible. Their pain was enormous. He could see that Sharon was really suffering, but he also suffered.
"Sharon, I'm sorry." he said softly and wiped his tears. Sharon looked at him with indescribable anger. She'd lost her baby because of him. No, she couldn't forgive him.
"Everything is because of you! Because of you! I spent sleepless nights and I started to consume alcohol. It's all because of you. I will never forgive you. Get out!" she shouted, while the nurses immediately went inside to comfort her, asking Andy to get out. But Andy was damn shocked, realizing that Sharon has consumed alcohol. Yes, maybe he really was guilty. He came out in the waiting room, and when Sharon fell asleep, he went back inside the room and approached her, looking at her sadly. He kissed her gently on the lips and walked away, knowing that Sharon doesn't want to see him anymore. On the other hand, Provenza was trying to reach Andy, but without success. He couldn't understand what was happening. Neither he nor the team since he and Sharon hadn't notified anyone. Andy came home this time, seeing that he was in such a trap, he again grabbed the bottle. He couldn't stop thinking about drinking, especially after their loss. Finally, Provenza was able to contact him. Andy couldn't hide his pain.
"Flynn? Where are you? I'm trying to reach you for hours!" Provenza shouted sternly. Andy took a deep breath and put the bottle on the table.
"Provenza, stop yelling. I'm sorry I couldn't answer you, but today I experienced a terrible day." he admitted. Provenza was surprised.
"Terrible day? What happened? Moreover, where is Sharon?" he asked to be sure. Andy didn't know how to explain this strange but terrible situation.
"She's in the hospital. Provenza, she lost our baby." Andy said quietly. Provenza almost choked. If he had heard correctly? Baby?
"Wait a minute. Flynn, what baby? Sharon was pregnant?"
"Yes, but she didn't know that. This morning she began to lose blood and when we went to the hospital, we learned the awful truth. Louie, I feel terrible. Sharon lost the baby and she doesn't want to see me again. She thinks that I am guilty and maybe she's right. But I didn't want that. " Andy sobbed. He hadn't felt so bad ever.
"Andy, calm down. Where are you now?"
"At home."
"Well, I'll come there. Just keep your cool as hard to be." Provenza warned and grabbing his jacket, he quickly went to his friend's home. Andy sat on the couch and looked at the bottle. He couldn't believe that he and Sharon have such a hard day. He couldn't forget the pain. He was the reason that Sharon had had a miscarriage. He was responsible for the loss of their baby. After about an hour, Provenza came to comfort his friend, but he was unpleasantly surprised, seeing a bottle of alcohol on the table.
"Flynn, don't tell me that you started drinking again after 15 years!" Provenza shouted angrily. Andy rolled his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Stop yelling old man! Yes, I was about but couldn't. After this terrible loss, I didn't stop to think about drinking. I lost Sharon forever. She doesn't want to see me anymore, but she's right. I'm guilty of everything. Who knows, maybe I need another meeting. " he said sadly. On the other hand, learning the news from Provenza, Brenda immediately went to the hospital to support Sharon - somewhat. Sharon was still crying helplessly and she blamed only Andy.
"Sharon, I understand that you feel bad, but you have to stop to think about it." Brenda said quietly and took her hand. Sharon took a deep breath and shook her head.
"But I can't. I lost my baby because of Andy. He's guilty." she said with anger. Brenda hugged her soothingly and rubbed her back.
"Calm down, this is a pain that will not be forgotten, but I'm sure that you'll be stronger to move forward without looking to the past." Sharon wept softly on Brenda's shoulder, but she was definitely determined. She didn't want to see Andy Flynn never ... Whatever happens ...
