Chapter 32

Andy was still looking to Sharon that was about to eat the plate in front of her. He grinned slightly, causing her to look at him.

"Hey, what's so funny?" she asked unhappily. Andy sighed and shrugged.

"I don't know, I just realize that you're very hungry. Sharon, you want to slow down the pace a little? You're ready to eat even the plate." he said, laughing. Sharon pouted and turned her gaze to the other side. Andy reached out and kissed her hand apologetically.

"Sharon, honey, don't get me wrong. I just don't want you to have stomach problems." he said anxiously. Sharon shook her head.

"Andy, I know that. But you have to understand that I'm pregnant and this is completely normal. In addition, you don't know how hard it is to carry two babies." she said sternly. Andy bit his lip and stood up.

"Believe me, I have no idea. You know what, I'll pay the bill. Wait for me for a moment." he said quickly and walked away. Sharon sipped her orange juice and rubbed her belly gently. Perhaps Andy was right. She was too much eating, but she just couldn't stop. She decided to check her phone for missed calls. Fortunately, there are none. She grabbed her coat and turning, she suddenly saw Jack in front of her. Perhaps the worst and unpleasant surprise for the day. Their divorce was finalized three months ago and they hadn't seen each other since. But today, it seems fate was decided to make such a joke. Jack immediately noticed her and approached her.

"Sharon! What a surprise!" he said loudly and stood before her. Sharon rolled her eyes, dissatisfied and took a deep breath.

"Maybe for you is a pleasant surprise but for me, definitely not. I can't believe that I'm seeing you months later." she said, frowning. Jack grinned but suddenly, his eyes widened noting that Sharon is pregnant. For a moment, he was frightened by the fact that maybe he is the father. Frankly, he wouldn't want another child to abandon.

"My God! Sharon, you're pregnant ?!" He said more surprised than ever.

"Yes, Jack. You've seen correctly." she said sarcastically.

"Oh, no. Don't tell me that I am ..."

"Jack, how could you think that you're the father? We haven't been together almost six months and you're no one in my life! You are not the father." she said sternly. Jack sighed with relief. No, it was a relief for him. He wouldn't want another child after so many years.

"Yes, that's fine. But this pregnancy is very risky for your age. Don't you think?" he asked ironically. Sharon gritted her teeth in anger. At this point, Andy immediately went to her seeing Jack Raydor.

"Jack Raydor, what are you doing here?" he asked angrily. Suddenly, Jack began to applaud.

"Oh, no, Lieutenant Andy Flynn! I don't want to ask who is the father because the picture before me is clear. Even more." he said sarcastically. Andy was ready to pounce on him, but Sharon stopped him.

"Jack, it is not your business. You know what, go to hell!" Sharon yelled and grabbed her purse, then she and Andy got into their car. Throughout time, Andy drove wildly without speaking. Sharon looked at him occasionally. Suddenly, she asked him to stop, because she needed to talk to him.

"Andy, what's going on with you? From 15 minutes onwards, you drive like an idiot!" she almost shouted. Andy took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment.

"Sharon, I'm sorry. I just lost my control since I saw Jack Raydor." he hissed in anger. Sharon shushed softly and took his hand.

"Andy, I beg you, stop to think about it. He's just an idiot and nothing more." she tried to calm him, but as if Andy couldn't.

"The fact that he thought that he is the father makes me feel terrible." he admitted. Sharon laughed and touched his face.

"Andy, he was so drunk that he didn't even remember our divorce and the fact that we aren't together. He just was scared that he might have another child to abandon as he did with Emily and Ricky. Calm down, everything is under control. But maybe you're jealous. " she teased lightly. Andy laughed and kissed her cheek.

"Okay, I confess. I'm also an idiot if I can think of Jack's bullshit. You know what, let's take Maddie from school and go home early. You need rest." he suggested. Sharon agreed and they walked to Maddie's school. Once they took their daughter from school, they went home. Andy went into the kitchen to prepare dinner and Maddie decided to help him while Sharon decided to read a magazine in the living room. Andy was pleased that his little daughter wants to become a specialist just like him. He was grateful that Maddie is in their lives. After dinner, Maddie went to her room to do her homework while Sharon and Andy shared a moment alone in the living room. Sharon lay contentedly in Andy's lap while their hands were entwined on her stomach.

"Hey, are you ok there?" he asked, rubbing her belly with a smile. Sharon smiled and took his hand.

"Absolutely. Andy, you know, I'm very curious. We already know the the babies' sex. Let's choose appropriate names." she suggested and stood up carefully, then looked at him with a smile. Andy sighed wearily and shrugged.

"What names? I'm not so ready." he admitted, frowning. Sharon smiled slightly and squeezed his shoulder.

"First for a boy and then for a girl. Come on, offer me a name." Sharon insisted. Andy sighed thoughtfully.

"Well, well. What do you say Andy Jr. for our son? I know it sounds old-fashioned." he said and grinned. Sharon laughed and cleared her throat.

"Andy, you seriously? Oh my God. I don't want my son to be so stubborn as you. Maybe another name."

"Good. Then Allen or David?"

"Oh no." Sharon frowned even more. Andy rolled his eyes, dissatisfied and took a deep breath.

"Sharon, please choose you. I refuse." he said displeased. Sharon chuckled slightly.

"I don't know if you'll like it, but I already know two names for the twins. Anthony Flynn and Kaitlyn Flynn. What do you think?" she asked with a smile. Andy gently pulled her towards him and kissed her on the lips.

"These names are wonderful honey. We can call them Tony and Kate. You have very good taste." he said with a smile. Sharon smiled slightly and checked her watch.

"Hmm, okay. Now, can you help me to the bedroom? I feel tired to walk alone." she said plaintively. He nodded slightly and gently led her into the bedroom. A few minutes later, Maddie stood before them.

"Mom, Dad, can I sleep with you tonight? Outside, the storm is terrible." Maddie said with fear. Sharon and Andy looked at each other for a moment, then Andy took Maddie in his arms and Maddie lay between them, careful not to hit her mother's stomach. She was the happiest child. Sharon kissed her daughter tenderly on the cheek.

"Now are you happy darling?"

"Absolutely Mom. I feel more relaxed." the little girl assured and fell asleep immediately. Sharon and Andy looked at each other with a smile and slept with their little daughter. A few days later, Sharon had begun to think of something else. What frightened her. She hid it from Andy, but she didn't know how long she can hide the truth. On the other hand, Andy could feel that something was wrong. One morning, he sat at his desk thoughtfully when Provenza approached him.

"Hey, Flynn, you look nervous for the first time in weeks. What happened?" he asked anxiously. Andy took a deep breath and shrugged.

"I have no idea, but I feel that Sharon is hiding something important from me. She refuses to talk as usual." Andy said, scowling. Provenza sighed and squeezed his shoulder.

"Maybe now is the time to ask her." he said, seeing that Sharon is approaching. Andy quickly stepped in front of her and asked her to talk. She agreed and they went to the break room.

"Sharon, what's going on with you? You behave quite strangely." he noted with concern. Sharon took a deep breath and bit her lip.

"Andy, I know that I can't hide my fears. You know what, I've been thinking a lot lately. For our future and for the twins. Andy, I'm not as young as before and my pregnancy is high risk. Besides, I'm pregnant with twins and the risk is even greater. I want you to promise me something. If something happens to me, please, take care of our children. I know you'll be a good father. " she said sadly, and tears streamed down her cheeks. Even though she still wasn't sure whether she wants to give up her parental rights, she was worried about her unborn children. However, they were part of her. She was their mother.

"But Sharon, you can't think that way!" he almost shouted and swallowed the lump in his throat.

"Andy, I beg you. Promise me. At least you will have some memory of me." she interrupted him and looked down. Andy hugged her tightly, rubbing her back soothingly. He couldn't let something like this to happen... He had to erase her fears forever ...
