Chapter 17

The next morning, Sharon was surprised by the fact that Andy stands before her with breakfast. He hadn't done this so far and she could understand that he wants her to keep the baby. He sat down beside her and bent to kiss her gently on the lips. Sharon looked at the breakfast, and then she looked at Andy. He smiled softly and took her hand.

"Good morning darling." he said quietly. Sharon took a deep breath and bit her lip.

"Andy, what is it?" she asked coldly.

"I decided that you're tired and I prepared a special breakfast. What's not to like?" he said, confused. Sharon shook her head and looked back at the romantic breakfast.

"Thank you for this gesture, but you really shouldn't do that." she said abruptly and got out of bed. Andy put the breakfast on the nightstand, and followed her.

"Sharon, what's the problem? I felt that you got angry." he said discontented. Sharon rolled her eyes, dissatisfied and approached him.

"Yes, Andy. I'm not happy because we have a relationship for months but you never done similar thing. You never cooked breakfast for me. I'm not a child and I can figure out what your goal is. You're you trying to make me keep the baby. Am I right? " she asked angrily. Andy sighed wearily.

"No, Sharon. I want to build a happy family with you. I don't undertake you to keep the child, but you must understand that I also have the right to give my opinion. This child is mine too. What's the problem? Sharon, this child is not guilty. And now you want to terminate our child! " he almost shouted. Sharon didn't want to argue with him and didn't want Maddie to hear this scandal. She quickly went into the bathroom while Andy called Maddie for breakfast. Once Andy and Maddie were eating breakfast, Sharon joined them exhausted. She'd vomited for hours. Andy looked at Sharon and handed her a glass of water.

"Are you okay?" he asked anxiously. Sharon nodded without giving an answer. Maddie looked at her mother, seeing that she wasn't feeling particularly well.

"Mom, are you sick? You look pale." the little girl asked quietly. Sharon smiled softly and kissed her daughter on the cheek then gently stroked her hair.

"Don't worry, honey. I'm fine. I'm just tired. That's all." she assured. Andy shook his head. He couldn't understand why Sharon behaves like a child. He couldn't find meaning in her strange actions. He couldn't believe that she doesn't want their child and that she hides this fact from Maddie. Probably Maddy would be over the moon with happiness, like Andy. But she just wanted to ruin their future. Andy looked at his watch and grabbed Maddie's bag.

"Well, Maddie, it's time for school." he said with a smile. Maddie nodded and hugged her mother, then kissed her cheek.

"Mom, take care of yourself." the little girl said softly with concern. Sharon was proud of Maddie. She was grateful that Maddie is in their lives.

"Don't worry, honey. I'll be fine." she assured Maddie and kissed her for goodbye. Once Andy and Maddie went to school, Sharon fled to the bathroom feeling a new wave of nausea. A few hours later, Sharon sat pensively on her desk, looking at some reports before her. She threw her pen and leaned back, closing her eyes. Andy left Chief's office and threw several folders on his desk, then glanced at Sharon. She looked sad and distracted. Although he wanted to comfort her, he failed. She hurt him a lot lately. Finally, Sharon got up from her desk and walked toward the break room. Provenza suddenly appeared before her, watching her carefully. Sharon held several folders to her chest. She didn't want to throw up against Provenza. She quickly threw the folders against him and ran to the bathroom. Provenza shrugged and went back to his desk, looking at Andy.

"Hey, Flynn, what happens to Sharon?" he asked, confused.

"What? What happened?" Andy replied with a question, ignoring Provenza.

"She just threw it several folders at me and ran to the bathroom." Provenza muttered, frowning. Andy looked at Provenza, then walked to the bathroom. Still, he wanted to make sure that Sharon's good. He decided to wait outside. When Sharon came out of the bathroom with a towel over her mouth, she was surprised seeing Andy in front of her.

"What are you doing here?" she asked with anger. Andy rolled his eyes and put his hands in his pockets.

"I decided to see if you're okay, but obviously you're well enough to shout so madly." he said sarcastically. Sharon gritted her teeth in anger and walked to the rest of the team, but Andy took her hand. Sharon turned to him and looked at him coldly.

"Sharon, you can't escape fate. God wants you to be a mother again. Stop going against fate." he said firmly. Sharon dropped his hand and went back to her desk. Seeing how angry she is, Provenza decided to remain silent. He didn't want her to be angry even more. When Andy returned, he quickly grabbed his jacket and headed for the elevators with anger. Sharon knew that he behaves this way because of her, but she was determined - she didn't want this child. She looked at her engagement ring. She still loved Andy and she wanted to be with him, but this baby was a big obstacle for her. She checked her watch and decided to take Maddie from school earlier. She wanted to spend some time with her daughter. Going to the elevators, Chief Johnson stopped her.

"Captain, you decided to go home early? That's pretty good. However, you need to rest." Brenda said with a smile.

"Thank you Chief. I'll take Maddie from school and we'll go back home. But if there's anything important, I can come immediately." she said firmly. Brenda shook her head and squeezed her shoulder with a smile.

"Don't worry, everything is fine." Brenda assured. Sharon nodded with a slight smile and got into the elevator. After Sharon took Maddie from school, they returned home together. Andy wasn't here too. Perhaps he'd decided to be alone for a while.

"Mom, I'll be in my room." Maddie said with a smile. Sharon kissed the little girl and agreed.

"Okay, honey. Go to your room while I prepare dinner." she said softly. All evening, Sharon was expecting Andy to return home. She decided to wait. Maddie was sleeping in her room and time was almost 3:00 in the morning. While Sharon was looking at her watch her constantly, Andy came home and threw the keys, then went into the living room. Sharon immediately stood before him, looking at him coldly.

"Andy, where were you?" she asked sharply. Andy sighed and stepped toward her, then put his hands in his pockets.

"It is not your business." he replied indifferently. Sharon took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a moment.

"Stop behaving this way. I know very well why you behave in this way. The only thing you want is me to keep this baby without even knowing what I feel." she said angrily. Andy laughed derisively.

"Sharon, don't be ridiculous. I don't know what the problem is. I don't know why you hate our unborn child. Honestly, I'm no longer interested. I want to ask you again. You said that you will think about your decision. I want to know your final answer. Will you keep the baby? " he asked calmly, waiting for a meaningful answer. Sharon took a deep breath and looked down, then met his stern look.

"No. I will not keep the baby." she said immediately. Andy closed his eyes for a moment and swallowed the lump in his throat. In fact, he expected a similar response.

"So, you don't want? Very good. Fantastic indeed." he said bitterly. Sharon rolled her eyes discontented. She took his hand and gave him her engagement ring.

"If this child is more important to you than me, then it makes no sense for us to be together." she said firmly, while Andy was looking at the engagement ring with surprise ...
