Chapter 9

After the long conversation, Sharon and Andy got back together at Andy's home. The only thing they both wanted was to be together again and to forget about the pain. They knew that this pain is huge and will not be forgotten so quickly but Andy was ready to do everything possible for Sharon, because he loved her more than anything. Sharon felt comfortable with Andy and she couldn't deny this fact. She was ready to live with him because her heart belongs only to him. They couldn't escape the fate. Going into the living room, however, Sharon remembered series of disputes with Andy here. She stepped back, holding her purse tightly. Andy looked at her and gently squeezed her shoulder.

"Sharon, honey, are you okay? You look pale." he noted with concern. Sharon took a deep breath and nodded slightly. She left her purse on the couch and turned to Andy, watching him coldly. Andy was confused and he couldn't understand what happens to Sharon.

"Sorry, I just remembered some of our disputes that were here. In this room." she said sadly and looked down. Andy sighed wearily and walked toward her, then gently touched her face and made her look into his eyes. He adored her green eyes, but they were filled with disappointment.

"Sharon, it's okay. I haven't forgotten anything that happened here. But, hey, look, we need to move forward. We love each other and we need to overcome the pain together. I know you still think about the baby. " he said quietly. Sharon swallowed the lump in her throat.

"I never thought that I could have a chance to be a mother again, especially at my age and, unfortunately, I lost this chance." She admitted with disappointment. Andy shushed softly and kissed her softly on the forehead.

"Sharon, I'm to blame for everything. You're right." he said firmly. Sharon shook her head and stroked his face.

"No, Andy. I was the one who ruined everything. I started to drink in my desire and it's not your fault. I just lost control. If I knew that this would happen, I ..." she sobbed and she couldn't continue to talk more. Andy immediately hugged her, rubbing her back soothingly.

"Calm down, honey. Everything will be fine. I'm here and I promise that I will always be. Well, how about a good dinner?" he asked, grinning. Sharon smiled softly and they went into the kitchen to cook some dinner together. She, however, didn't know what a good specialist Andy is in the kitchen and this time, she really was surprised.

"I didn't realize that you're so good at cooking." Sharon said, grinning. Andy smiled slightly and took her hand.

"I'm glad you liked it. Then don't be surprised if one morning you see me with breakfast in front of you." he said firmly. Sharon laughed.

"Andy, we were together for months and you decided to show me your specialties right now?" she asked, frowning. Andy shrugged.

"I have much other specialties that you don't know." he teased.

"What?" Andy bent slightly and kissed her gently on the lips. Sharon broke the kiss and looked into his brown eyes lovingly.

"Was that all?" she asked softly.

"It was one of those honey." He chuckled and kissed her again. After the delicious dinner, Sharon began to wash the dishes with Andy's help. Suddenly, she felt his arms that wrap her waist gently. Andy snuggled in her silky hair, inhaling her scent. Sharon closed her eyes for a moment and left the dishes, otherwise she would break everything.

"Andy, what are you doing?" she asked sternly, almost professionally. Andy pressed her tenderly to his body.

"I miss you. How about tonight just be ours?" he said quietly, placing soft kisses on her neck. Sharon bit her lip and turned to him, then she wrapped her wet arms around his neck, enjoying the hot kisses. Andy quickly took her in his arms and took them both into the bedroom. Sharon had to admit that without Andy, her life is like a nightmare without end. She wanted to forget the pain and she knew very well that this is only possible in his arms. Even after a night of passion, Sharon felt that she couldn't forget the pain. Somehow, she again began to ask herself whether what she is doing is right. She looked at Andy, who had buried his face in the pillow and was fast asleep. She stroked his back and got out of bed quietly as possible, taking her glasses and walked to the living room. She needed to be alone. It wasn't half an hour, Andy put his hand to the empty side of the bed and felt that Sharon wasn't in bed. He quickly went into the living room and knelt beside her, taking her hand. Sharon looked at him sadly.

"Did I wake you?" she asked immediately. Andy shook his head.

"Of course not. I rolled over and you weren't there." Sharon nodded and squeezed his hand thoughtfully. Andy immediately kissed her hand, causing Sharon to smile for a moment.

"Sharon, what's the problem? Why are you here alone?" he asked, more worried than ever. Sharon took a deep breath and shrugged.

"Maybe I just needed to be alone. You were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you for nonsense. I just think about everything that happened lately. Especially the loss of the baby makes me remember the past." she said sadly. Andy looked at her surprised.

"The past? Why?"

"Andy, this is not the first time I have a miscarriage. I experienced the same before Ricky was born. When Jack decides to leave me alone, I learned I'm pregnant. I didn't know how to tell him this but I wanted to keep the baby. I'm not a killer. Emily was 3 years old and I just decided to have this child whether Jack will be with me or not. But one night due to complications I had a miscarriage. It was difficult and painful pregnancy . Jack never knew about it and I'm grateful. After two years I forgot my pain because Ricky gave me another chance. But now when I experienced the same, I just remembered everything. " she confessed and tears streamed down her cheeks. Andy shushed softly and wiped her tears. He realized this truth for the first time.

"Sharon, honey, calm down. It's just past. But I'm not Jack. I'll always be with you. Soon, you'll be free and then I promise you that you won't see Jack Raydor again. He's just the father of your children. " he said encouragingly. Sharon's eyes filled with tears. This man, whom she considered her enemy actually was her great love.

"Thank you, Andy. Thanks for everything." she said softly.

"Why? Sharon, I love you. Come on, let's get back to the bedroom." he said firmly, and helped her. The next morning, the team worked hard. While Sharon was in Chief's office, Provenza decided to ask Andy what happens between them.

"How is Sharon? I hope that all between you is well." Provenza said, looking at his friend carefully. Andy sighed wearily and cleared his throat. He still thought of last night's conversation.

"Yeah, well - somewhat. Look, last night I had a conversation with Sharon and she told me the fact that she had a miscarriage again before Ricky was born." he explained hastily. Provenza's eyes widened.

"My God! Now I can understand why she was under such stress." Provenza said.

"Yes, and I hope that she'll soon forget the pain. I'll do my best." Andy said firmly. On the other hand, Sharon and Brenda spoke something very important - something that would change Sharon's life.

"Sharon, are you sure that you will be able to take care for Madison?" Brenda asked hesitantly. Sharon took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

"Absolutely chief. Look, we investigate this case a few weeks. Poor child. Her life is still at risk. I want to take care of this little girl. She'll be saved in my hands." she said firmly. Brenda sighed wearily.

"Andy? He will accept such a thing?"

"Chief, he's also a cop and that's our job. We need to save Maddie. At least until we catch the killer of her parents." Sharon said firmly. Brenda agreed. She knew that Sharon and Andy can save Madison until they caught the killer of her parents, who wanted to kill the little girl too. Several hours later, Sharon waited Andy in front of the elevators, as she had to explain everything about Madison and their new lifestyle. Andy wasn't surprised that she wants to talk to him, but he definitely would have fell into shock at hearing the truth.

"What we will talk about, Sharon?" he asked with a smile and approached her. Sharon took a deep breath and looked into his brown eyes.

"For something that will change our lives at least for a certain time." she said sharply, ready to tell all about the little girl Madison ...
