Chapter 27

Maybe half an hour, Sharon failed to get out of this couch. She was still crying, although she wanted to settle down for the sake of her child. Dr. Julie unnecessary had warned that she must be peaceful, but after all these conflicts with Andy, she just couldn't. Yes, she knew that she was guilty of everything but Andy's coldness made her feel worse. After a few minutes, Andy went back into the living room with a blanket in his hands. He threw the blanket on the couch and put his hands in his pockets, looking at Sharon, who was still crying. She looked at him coldly and swallowed the lump in her throat.

"Sharon, I beg you, stop crying. There's no point. You can't change the bitter truth and my heart. You have to understand that this love between us is now just past." he said firmly. Sharon wiped her tears and stood before him, looking into his brown eyes.

"Andy, I can't believe that you're telling me all this so easily. Yes, I admit, I am guilty. It's because of me and because I don't want this child. Yes, you're right. I still can't get used to this idea because I wasn't expecting a child in my future. I feel terrible. Your coldness is killing me. " she said softly but behind her words there was pain. Andy took a deep breath and shook his head.

"Sharon, you do everything possible to kill this love. I repeatedly tried to have a happy family with you because I loved you with all my heart but you decided to terminate our child. Sharon, this is our child and you just say that you don't want this child. Yes, I understand your fears, but you must understand my pain. Years ago, Jennifer failed my life and took away my unborn child. You wanted to do the same and frankly, I wouldn't be able to endure such pain again. You know, sometimes I feel stupid thinking that I fell in love with the wrong woman. Maybe Louie was right. The enemy is always the enemy and nobody can change that. " he said thoughtfully. Sharon closed her eyes for a moment and bit her lip. She didn't know what to do, but she could feel that between them there is no love.

"Yeah, maybe you're still my enemy but no one can't realize this. My biggest mistake is you. But I repeat Lieutenant Flynn: I hold onto this baby just for you. You wanted this, not me. I don't have to live here. I'll take Maddie and I'll go to my apartment. Seeing you, I feel worse. " she said with anger and walked to the bedroom. Andy gritted his teeth in anger and looked after her. He couldn't let her go. She was pregnant and he couldn't leave her alone. The next morning, Maddie was getting ready in her room for school, while Sharon quickly dressed and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. After last night's dispute, Sharon simply didn't want to see Andy's face. Going into the living room, however, she noticed that Andy was still asleep. She approached him and looked at him carefully with a cold look. She touched his shoulder to wake him.

"It's getting late. I don't want you fussing that you're late for work." she said sarcastically and walked toward the kitchen. Andy opened his eyes sleepily and took a deep breath. At this point, Maddie hastily come to her father and hugged him tightly.

"Dad, you promised me that you'll take me to school." the little girl said, frowning. Andy chuckled softly and kissed Maddie's cheek.

"Honey, I'll take you to school as usual. I'll be ready quickly. Your mom make breakfast. Wait for me in the kitchen." he suggested with a smile and walked to the bedroom. Maddie went into the kitchen and hugged her mother. Sharon kissed her gently and served breakfast to her, sitting there with a cup of raspberry tea.

"Mom, Dad behaves like a child. I'm already ready for school, but he is not yet ready for work." the little girl said with a grin. Sharon took a deep breath and shrugged.

"Maddie, honey, believe me, I have no idea. Let's have breakfast. We'll talk later." she said firmly. Maddie nodded slightly. After a few minutes, Andy joined them and sat against Sharon, watching her colder than ever. Sharon ignored him, especially after last night. After Andy took Maddie to school, he returned home since Sharon had refused to go to work. Despite everything, however, he wanted to know why. He must notify Chief Johnson and the team for her absence. He found her in the living room and stood in front of her.

"Sharon, what's the problem? You want to stay home, but why? Don't you feel good?" he asked worriedly - somewhat. Sharon took a deep breath and rubbed her belly gently.

"I just feel tired." she replied quietly, shunning his eyes. Andy sighed wearily and knelt before her. He was sure that this wasn't just fatigue. He touched her face and lifted her chin to make her look into his eyes.

"Look, I can feel that it's not just fatigue. Tell me the truth." he insisted. Sharon rolled her eyes displeased and stood up carefully.

"When will you leave me in peace? I need to be alone and besides, I already informed Brenda. I don't want to argue with you again. Stop following me in every step. I'm tired of this concern. You're worried about me just for this baby and we both know it very well. " she almost shouted. Andy didn't know how to keep his cool and how to get Sharon to relax. But she had to be calmed down.

"Sharon, stop yelling! You have to be calm right now. Stop creating conflicts." he said firmly. Sharon laughed derisively.

"You create these problems, not me. I want to be alone." she said several times. Andy decided that it makes no sense to argue with her. He went to the department completely disappointed and sad. The whole team could feel the change in him. After Provenza get out of the interview room, he saw Andy, who sat distracted on his desk. He handed several folders to him until Andy looked at him confused.

"Chief Johnson wants you to talk to the parents of the victim and to reassure them." Provenza said hastily. Andy took a deep breath and threw the folders on his desk.

"My God, Provenza! I can't calm myself. How can I reassure these poor parents?!" he said dissatisfied. Provenza sighed and squeezed his shoulder.

"Okay, then I'll do that along with Sanchez, but what's wrong with you? I know you have problems with Sharon, but that doesn't mean that it should interfere with your work."

"On the contrary. My relationship with Sharon is terrible. Last night we had a dispute and today she didn't want to come to work because of me. I don't know what to do. She is pregnant and I don't want to hurt her. But she keeps saying that she kept this baby just for me. The fact that she doesn't want our child pisses me off. " he admitted sadly. Provenza shrugged.

"Well, as I said, she needs time. Lately you two can't get used to this new change. Obviously, the baby will bring many changes in your life." he said encouragingly. Andy took Sharon's engagement ring from his pocket and his eyes filled with tears. He still remembered the moment when they got engaged with so much love and now it looked like a nightmare. Late in the evening, Sharon was sitting on the couch crying. This was probably due to her hormones, but she couldn't forget Andy's words. Seeing that her mother is crying, Maddie immediately hugged her tightly.

"Mom, why are you crying?" the little girl asked sadly. Sharon wiped her tears, but she had no strength even to calm Maddie and tell her that she is well. At this point, Andy came home and Maddie immediately went to him. Andy took his daughter in his arms and looked at Sharon sadly.

"Hey, Maddie, honey, why your mother is crying?" he asked anxiously. Maddie shrugged.

"I asked her, but she didn't answer me."

"Well, then, go into your room while I talk to your mother. She'll be good, I assure you." Andy said quietly and Maddie went to her room. Andy cautiously approached Sharon and again knelt before her. She looked at him sadly as he squeezed her hand.

"Sharon, you have to calm down. Besides, you're scaring Maddie. She's worried about you." he said quietly. Sharon swallowed the lump in her throat.

"Perhaps only she can understand what I feel. Because you refuse to understand that I also feel pain just like you. I'm pregnant and you're so far away from me. Even though I said I don't want this child, I need your support during this period. " she said heatedly. Andy closed his eyes for a moment and dropped her hand.

"Sharon, I tried to be with you, but you asked this coldness between us. I never wanted to leave you alone, especially now." He broke off abruptly. Sharon took a deep breath and tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Well, then, let's make a deal. You know very well that I don't want this child and I decided to keep it for you. I don't want anything to do with this child and I decided to give the baby to you. I mean that I don't want to have anything to do with this child. You're the father and I know that you can take care of this child without me. I decided to give up my parental rights. " she said immediately, making Andy almost faint from shock - she refused her parental rights ...
