Chapter 29

Andy stood close to Sharon, clutching her hand and looking at her carefully. She slowly opened her eyes, and once again, she realized that she was in hospital. She couldn't remember what had happened. The only thing she remembered was that she was in the break room and the rest was fog. She looked at Andy coldly and closed her eyes for a moment, feeling the same discomfort.

"Why am I here? What happened?" she asked heatedly.

"Sharon, you'd fainted in the break room and we brought you here. Dr. Julie said that everything is fine. Don't worry." he assured quietly, touching her face. Sharon took his hand and tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Where's Maddie?"

"Don't worry about her. She's with Brenda and Fritz." Sharon took a deep breath and put her hand on her belly while Andy wiped her tears. Whatever happens, he couldn't watch her cry. However, she couldn't be his enemy again. Perhaps this truth frightened him. The fact that he can't stop loving her.

"Andy, I'm to blame for everything that happens. You're right. I don't want this child and you just can't tolerate my whims." she said bitterly. Andy shushed softly and hugged her tightly as she cried softly on his shoulder. She felt that the coldness between them kill her with every passing minute. He looked into her green eyes with that same warm smile, but his look as if was still cold.

"Hey, Sharon, there is someone here, who wants to see you." he said with a smile. Sharon looked at him confused while Andy went to open the door. Seeing Ricky before her, she almost fainted from shock. Ricky immediately hugged his mother. Sharon couldn't describe her joy in seeing her son for the first time in months.

"Mom, how do you feel? Tell me you're okay." he said plaintively, looking at her sadly. Sharon smiled softly and bit her lip.

"I'm fine honey. Don't worry, I just felt dizzy and that's all. But I never imagined that my son would come here right now. Ricky, I'm so happy to see you." Sharon said excitedly and hugged her son again. Ricky smiled contentedly and kissed his mother on the cheek. Andy watched them with a sad smile. Seeing how much Sharon loves her children, it was sad because she didn't want their child and despite everything, she still says that she'll give up her parental rights. But now, he wanted to talk to Ricky. Who knows, maybe he would make his mother change her mind?

"Did you see your father?" Sharon asked, frowning. Ricky sighed and shook his head.

"No mom, but Emily was with him in Las Vegas. He asked to talk to her and she couldn't refuse him. But you know what, I don't want to talk about my father. I am so happy that you're happy with Andy . And frankly, I can't wait to hug my sibling. I'm not jealous like Emily. " he joked and laughed slightly. Sharon nodded without smiling. How could she tell her children that she wants to give up her parental rights? It was so hard. After a few minutes, Andy joined them.

"Andy, I feel perfectly well and you know I hate hospitals. I want to go home to spend some time with my son." she said plaintively. Andy sighed and looked at Ricky.

"I know that you hate hospitals and so, I already talked to Dr. Julie. She said that you can go home now." he said with a smile.

"Well then, I'll help my mom." Ricky said with a smile. Andy decided to talk to Dr. Julie and going in the waiting room, Provenza stood before him.

"What happens Flynn? How is Sharon?" he asked anxiously. Andy shrugged.

"She's good. The seizure is because of her blood pressure and I'm grateful for that. By the way, Ricky is here and I want to share my pain with him. I know that he is the only one who can make his mother to change her mind. " Andy explained hastily. Provenza shook his head and squeezed his shoulder.

"Are you sure that Ricky must learn it now? Look, don't get me wrong, but Sharon has to recover. We all experienced a huge shock because of her condition. I don't want a new dispute between you. '"

"Provenza, Ricky is her son. I can't even describe her joy. She loves her children, but she doesn't want our child. Ricky mentioned that he is excited to hug his sibling, but he doesn't know that his mother wants to waive her rights. I've decided. I'll talk to him. " he said firmly. Provenza hoped that his friend would be able to find happiness. Late in the evening, Sharon, Ricky and Maddie sat on the couch, while Andy was preparing the guest room for Ricky. Sharon was pleased that Ricky and Maddie get along so well.

"Hey, Princess, last time we saw each other was 3 months ago. I can't believe that I miss you so much." Ricky said, hugging his little sister. Maddie chuckled slightly.

"I miss you too. But don't forget that you promised me you'd take me to school this week." the little girl said sternly. Sharon grinned slightly, listening to their conversation.

"Well minx, I'll fulfill my promise. I am your brother and I'll never lie to you." he assured immediately. At this point, Andy came into the living room and approached them. He looked at Sharon, then to Ricky.

"Ricky, I've prepared your room. Consider that this is your home." he said with a smile. Ricky shook his hand and nodded slightly.

"Thanks for all Andy. I really thank you." he said gratefully. When Maddie began to yawn, Sharon took her daughter to the nursery and Andy used the time to talk with Ricky and tell him the truth. Ricky was afraid from the coming conversation because he could feel the tension.

"Andy, is everything okay? You're scaring me." he noted with concern. Andy sighed wearily and shook his head.

"In fact, Ricky, I want to talk to you about something very important. For your mother." he said uncertainly. Ricky panicked.

"About Mom? My God, she and the baby are fine, right?" he asked immediately. Andy squeezed his shoulder.

"Don't worry, they're fine, but the problem there is that your mother doesn't want this baby and she wants to give up her parental rights." Andy said quickly, knowing that there is no point hiding that. Ricky's eyes widened upon hearing the truth. No, he just couldn't believe that his mother wants to give up her parental rights. But how this could be possible? She adored her children.

"No, Andy, please tell me it was a joke. My mother can't be so cruel. She loves her children and she's always been a wonderful mother." Ricky said sadly and shocked at the same time. Andy shrugged and put his hands in his pockets.

"Ricky, trust me, I daily have this discussion with your mother. But she continues to speak the same. She doesn't want this child and it hurts me deeply. Yes, maybe she's stressed because of this pregnancy, but to give up her parental rights is too cruel. " Andy said with pain as if every moment was ready to cry. Ricky closed his eyes for a moment. He still couldn't believe that his mother thinks nonsense. At the same moment, Sharon stood before them, watching them carefully.

"Is everything alright?" she asked, confused. Ricky was angry and stood in front of his mother.

"No mom, nothing is alright. Why do you want to give up your parental rights? You're not so cruel!" he almost shouted. Andy squeezed his shoulder to comfort him. Sharon took a deep breath and cast a cold look at Andy, then asked to be alone with her son. Andy decided to check on Maddie, while Sharon wanted to explain this awkward situation to her son.

"First, I want you to calm down. All this seems strange, but it is not as you think. Let's talk. Believe me, I have an explanation." she said calmly. Ricky sighed and sat down on the couch.

"I hope that you have a better explanation Mom." he said unhappily. Sharon took a deep breath and carefully sat down next to her son.

"Yes, I didn't want this child and I still can't get used to this idea. Whatever happens, I can't accept this pregnancy. I couldn't say anything to you because I didn't want new problems. In fact, I wanted to have an abortion, but I gave up at the last minute. Ricky, you're my son and I want you to understand me. I have many reasons to not want this child. You know very well that I had two miscarriages. I'm afraid that will now happen the same. " she admitted sadly. Ricky looked at his mother and bit his lip.

"Mom, these are not the real reasons. I can't believe that you want to give up your parental rights. Mom, it's pretty cruel and you know this very well. You adopt Maddie and you love her as your daughter. Then why you keep thinking about the past? Nobody said that you will have another miscarriage. " he said angrily. Sharon wiped her tears and squeezed his shoulder.

"Ricky, trust me, I won't be able to give love to this child. I know that Andy is able to give all his love." she said softly. Ricky gritted his teeth in anger and stood up.

"Mom, I'm sorry, but you're talking nonsense. You're a mother and you can't give up your child just like that. You love your children and I am sure that you talk this way because of your hormones. But remember one thing: I won't let something like that! " Ricky said disgruntled and walked to his room. Sharon couldn't believe that Andy had told the truth just like that. She quickly went to the bedroom and saw Andy in front of her. She motioned him to go into the bedroom. Although he didn't want, Andy decides to listen.

"What is the problem?" he asked indifferently.

"I can't believe that you told Ricky the truth." she shouted angrily. Andy rolled his eyes, dissatisfied and shook his head.

"He has a right to know Sharon."

"He's my son and I can decide whether I could tell him the truth!"

"What's the problem? I think someone should make you think clearly. You make a mistake after mistake. Maybe Ricky will be able to change your decision." he said firmly. Sharon laughed derisively.

"You know what, you're pathetic Andy Flynn. Whatever happens, I won't change my decision. This is my final decision and nobody can change that!" she yelled against him while Andy looked at her just coldly ...
