Chapter 28

Andy was totally shocked. No, he couldn't think clearly at the moment. This should be a bad joke. No, it was not possible. Sharon Raydor - the brilliant mother who loved her children more than anything, now wanted to give up her parental rights to their child. Andy stood up with anger and swallowed the lump in his throat.

"Sharon, tell me it was a joke. It can't be true. You are a brilliant mother who loves her children more than anything. You even adopt Maddie when I was against this decision. You love Maddie as your daughter. Sharon, what the problem now? No, you can't give up your parental rights! " Andy almost cried with anger. Sharon took a deep breath and stood before him.

"But I do. Andy, I don't want this child from the beginning. Why did you make me scream like crazy? You know very well that I don't want this child. How many times do I have to repeat it?" Sharon asked angrily. Andy closed his eyes for a moment. He had to keep his cool.

"Sharon, I can't believe that just you don't want your child. You are the mother and that child is growing inside you. This child is a part of you. I can't believe that you don't want our child. Sharon, this is our child . Evidence of how strong was our love. And now, after everything that happened, you want to give up your parental rights? Applause. " he said sarcastically. Sharon gritted her teeth in anger.

"Don't be ridiculous." she said wryly.

"You're the one who is funny. I can't believe that I've loved a woman like you. You broke my heart into a thousand pieces. You don't want this child, and I know that. But to give up your parental rights ... This it is cruel. What do you say to your children? Emily, Ricky, Maddie? " He broke off abruptly. Sharon took a deep breath and put her hand on her belly.

"I have my ways."

"You're pathetic. I hate the day that I met you Sharon Raydor. You love to kill little by little. Well, if that's your decision, well then. Don't worry. I can give all my love to my child. My child don't need a mother like you! " he shouted and walked toward the bedroom, while Sharon sat on the couch and tears streamed down her cheeks. He was right, and her words had hurt her heart deeply. She took a pillow in her hands and closed her eyes for a moment, leaning back. Somehow, she dozed off here. When Andy returned and saw that she was asleep, he sat beside her, watching her carefully. His heart was totally broken after his last dispute with Sharon. He still couldn't believe that she doesn't want their child. He wrapped her in a blanket and all night didn't sleep, looking at her and thinking about his future. The next morning, Sharon slowly opened her eyes and frowned, feeling mild discomfort. Andy squeezed her shoulder, watching her with indescribable coldness. His only worry was the baby. He was convinced that he no longer was able to love Sharon again. He helped her to her feet, but she didn't say a word and went to the bathroom. Andy hastily prepared breakfast and called Maddie. Father and daughter were eating breakfast together while Sharon was still in the bedroom. As always, she couldn't choose a suitable dress. She hated her pregnancy and everything related to that child. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and patted her little baby bump. She frowned and threw all her clothes on the bed. She even blamed this unborn child for her ruined relationship with Andy. She decided to calm down and go into the kitchen. She kissed Maddie's cheek and sat beside her while Andy wasn't paying her any attention.

"Mom, I hope that you're better this morning." the little girl said anxiously. Sharon smiled gently and stroked her hair.

"I'm fine honey, don't worry. Everything will be fine." She assured and threw cold look at Andy. After a few minutes, Andy took Maddie to school and went to the department. At the same time, Sharon had a conversation with Chief Johnson.

"Sharon, you look pale. Are you sure, it's all right?" Brenda asked worriedly and squeezed her shoulder. Sharon took a deep breath and shrugged.

"Actually, I don't know how I feel. My feelings are a mixture and my head is a mess. Last night I had a big argument with Andy and probably all will support him when I say the reason we argued. Everyone knows that I don't want this child and I hold onto this baby just because of Andy and his desire. But last night I said that ... Brenda, I want to give up my parental rights. Andy wants this child and I fulfilled his wish. I will give the child to him. He would give all his love to his child, because I can't. " she said sadly. Brenda's eyes widened.

"What? Sharon, you can't do such nonsense! Look, stop talking nonsense, please. You're a mother and you can't give up your child just like that, you know. It's cruel and you're a mother who loves her children more than anything. You adopt Maddie and now you're like her real mother. I can't believe that you want to give up your parental rights. " Brenda said angrily. Sharon took a deep breath and shook her head.

"Brenda, believe me, this is my final decision and nobody can change that. "On the other hand, Provenza couldn't believe that Sharon wants to give up her parental rights.

"Flynn, calm down. I understand your pain perfectly, but when Sharon holds her baby in her arms for the first time, she'll forget about all that. She would never leave her child. Yes, she is stubborn and hard, but she won't leave her child. " Provenza said firmly. Andy rolled his eyes, dissatisfied and took a deep breath.

"Provenza, she decided to give up our child. I feel terrible. Like a fool." he said bitterly. Provenza squeezed his shoulder, but he was powerless. He couldn't help his friend. In the evening, Sharon sat at her desk looking at a few reports before her. Andy sat there, looking at her in anger and disappointment. It just should be a nightmare. After she walked toward the elevators, Andy immediately followed her and grabbed her hand. She turned to him, looking at him coldly.

"What do you want?" she asked with anger. Andy sighed and put his hands in his pockets.

"I want to make you think clearly. Currently, I have a feeling that you don't think about our future. Yes, I don't want a relationship with you and we have no future together. But you have to understand the fact that you're a mother and you you can't give up your rights just like that. You're the mother of this child! " he almost shouted.

"But you're the father!"

"Sharon, this child will need a mother. You exaggerate. You're just selfish!" he said with anger and get back to the rest of the team. Sharon felt slightly dizzy and leaned against the wall, taking shallow breaths. She rubbed her belly, hoping that this discomfort will disappear soon. After half an hour, however, Sharon had begun to feel even more discomfort. But Andy ignore it and won't even asked her if she was all right. She took a sip of her water and pulled her glasses. She leaned back and put her hand on her belly and took a deep breath. Buzz approached her, seeing how pale she is.

"Captain, is everything okay?" he asked immediately, but Andy still doesn't respond and didn't look at Sharon. Sharon nodded with a slight smile.

"I'm okay, Buzz. Don't worry. I think I need a break." she quickly walked to the break room while Buzz shrugged confused and went to Provenza. Hours later, no one felt Sharon's absence, until finally, Andy noticed her glasses on her desk. He looked around carefully.

"Where is Sharon?" he asked, almost professionally, but with concern.

"Lieutenant, she said that she needs a break and went to the break room." Buzz informed immediately. Andy nodded and decided to check if she was all right. But entering inside, he fell into shock. Sharon was lying on the floor unconscious. He quickly knelt beside her and touched her face. His heart seemed to stop for a moment. This was perhaps one of his worst nightmares.

"My God! Sharon, can you hear me? Open your eyes! Sharon ?!" he shouted loudly, but she didn't react. Suddenly, Provenza went inside and fell into shock too.

"My God, Flynn! What happened here?" he asked heatedly.

"Provenza, I have no time for explanations. Call 911, we should've brought Sharon to the hospital!" he said with anger. Provenza immediately grabbed his phone and called 911 while Andy was still holding Sharon in his arms, looking at her sadly and with fear.

"God, let Sharon and the baby be fine. I don't want anything to happen. I don't want to be the cause of another terrible loss." Andy muttered quietly until the ambulance came ...
