Chapter 34

The next morning, Sharon was awakened by the sound of the alarm. She buried her face in her pillow, frowning, while Andy stood before her with breakfast. He put the breakfast on the nightstand and kissed her gently. Sharon opened her eyes slowly and smiled softly. He helped her to stood up in the bed and sat beside her. Sharon looked at the romantic breakfast and smiled softly.

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

"This is a special breakfast just for you honey. I wanted to surprise you." He answered quietly and smiled. Sharon bit her lip, thinking how lucky she is to have Andy.

"Oh, it's so romantic, but you didn't need to do that. Besides, we should've took Maddie to school." she protested. Andy took her hand and shook his head.

"Sharon, I already took her to school and incidentally, the time is 9am." he said immediately. Sharon's eyes widened and she immediately checked her watch.

"Andy! Why did you wake me so late? You want me to be late for work?" she asked angrily. Andy sighed and rolled his eyes, dissatisfied.

"Sharon, calm down. You're pregnant and Brenda allow you to work less. Stop thinking about work and try to rest as much as possible. Don't forget that Dr. Julie said that you need a break not work. " he said displeased. Sharon pouted slightly and Andy kissed her cheek apologetically.

"Sharon, please. Stop acting like a little kid. Come on, I don't want you and the babies to be hungry." he insisted and handed her a plate of pancakes. Sharon chuckled softly and kissed him on the lips.

"Andy, you really know how to make me happy. You know very well that I love your pancakes." she said with a smile, while Andy watched her movements with satisfaction. He was really pleased with the fact that Sharon has changed so much. He could feel that she doesn't want to give up her parental rights and it was pretty good. Later in the day, Andy was sitting on his desk fully concentrated on his work while Sharon was in Brenda's office.

"You know, Sharon, I have a suggestion for you. Would you like to go shopping and buy baby clothes for the twins?" Brenda asked with a smile. Sharon took a deep breath and shrugged.

"Frankly, we bought a lot of baby clothes. What's the point of more?" she asked with a frown and patted her belly gently. Brenda smiled and stood before her.

"Sharon, I feel that you're going to get used to the idea of being a mother again. You already love these babies. They're your children and you're their mother. You love Andy with your whole heart. Maybe you haven't yet decided but I think that you won't give up your parental rights. Am I right? " Brenda asked sharply. Sharon bit her lip and looked down, then looked out the window of the office and turned her attention to Andy.

"Maybe you're right. I really love Andy and I can't be away from him. I think I'm about to give up. I think I can't part with my kids. You know, yesterday they started kicking me. To know that inside you there is a new life is a wonderful feeling. Something I can't put into words. " she admitted with a sad smile. Brenda squeezed her shoulder.

"See? Sharon, you won't be able to part with your kids and you know this very well. So, we're going to buy baby clothes?" Sharon smiled and nodded slightly. At that moment Andrea Hobbs went inside.

"Ladies, I'm sorry to interrupt but we need to discuss something important about the case." she said immediately.

"Oh, Andrea, I want to ask you something. Me and Sharon will go shopping to buy baby clothes for the twins. Want to come with us this afternoon?" Brenda asked with a smile.

"Andrea, it'll be good fun for you." Sharon added and looked at her imploringly. Andrea smiled softly and shrugged.

"Well. I also would like to buy some baby clothes. But before that, let's discuss one very important fact about this case." she said heatedly. On the other hand, Provenza seemed nervous. Andy looked at his friend and gave him a small piece of paper.

"Hey, Provenza, what's wrong with you? You look nervous. Don't tell me that you also have problems." he said sarcastically. Provenza rolled his eyes, dissatisfied.

"Yes, I have Flynn. And the problem is that I fell in love." Provenza admitted tense. Andy's eyes widened and he almost choked.

"What? You're in love? And who is the lucky lady?"

"Well, maybe it sounds strange but ... Andrea Hobbs. And look, don't make fun. We're like friends, but I'm willing to admit my feelings to her. Tonight." Andy grinned and walked over to his desk.

"Don't get me wrong, but it's really weird. I felt the same tension before confess my feelings for Sharon. Look, calm down and you'll succeed. I am sure that Andrea will take you more than friend, who knows." Andy encouraged him and saw Sharon that came out of the office. He approached her with a smile.

"Are you okay?" he asked anxiously. Sharon nodded slightly.

"I'm fine, don't worry. By the way, today with Brenda and Andrea will go shopping for baby clothes." Andy grinned slightly.

"That's wonderful dear, but I also want to tell you something important. Tonight, Provenza will offer Andrea anything more than friendship. He is in love with her." he said quietly. Sharon's eyes widened and she fell into shock.

"My God, this is a real surprise. But I hope that they'll succeed." she mused and chuckled while Andy shrugged and looked at Provenza. That afternoon while shopping, Fritz called Brenda and she had to leave Sharon and Andrea alone. Two friends decided to talk about the future.

"Sharon, don't tell me that you still want to give up your parental rights. When Brenda told me, I almost couldn't believe it. Look, we know that you and Andy gone through many difficulties, but you can't deny the fact that you love one another. Look, you have to be together for your kids. Maddie also needs your love. " Andrea said firmly, looking at the baby clothes. Sharon sighed wearily and rubbed her belly.

"Yes, you're right, Andrea. I think I already decided what to do. I won't give up my kids. Ricky was also right in saying that I'm selfish. But I'll fix this mistake. I won't give up my rights and I'll say it to Andy. Maybe tonight. " she said absently. Andrea smiled softly and squeezed her shoulder. While Andrea went to see other baby clothes, Sharon decided to go out because she'd felt dizzy. Suddenly, she saw Jack in front of her again. She gritted her teeth in anger.

"Jack, what are you doing here? I have a feeling that you follow me." she said with anger. Without saying a word, Jack took her hand firmly.

"You love to lie Sharon! You had a relationship with Andy Flynn while we were still together, right? But you'll regret that you left me!" he shouted loudly. Sharon backed away.

"Stop talking nonsense! The love between us died 20 years ago! Our divorce is over and you have no right to come here and to make scandals." she said heatedly. Suddenly Jack gave her a slap and at this point, Andrea approached them. She immediately began to argue with Jack, then she turned her attention to Sharon and looked at her red cheek.

"Sharon, are you okay? I can't believe this idiot give you a slap." Andrea said worriedly. Sharon touched her cheek and bit her lip.

"I'm fine, let's move away from here. Jack is just an idiot." she insisted.

"Sharon, I'm sorry, but I'll tell Andy. He has a right to know. Jack can't do that." Andrea immediately grabbed her phone and called Andy. Realizing for this slap, Andy was almost furious. He couldn't believe in Jack's courage. Andrea took Sharon to the department and Andy took care of her and take her to the break room while Buzz went to take Maddie from school. Andy sat next to Sharon and handed her the ice. She frowned slightly and took a deep breath.

"Sharon, I can't believe that this idiot has such courage!" he shouted angrily. Sharon hushed quietly and squeezed his shoulder.

"Andy, I'm fine." she assured.

"Sharon, if something had happened to you and the babies I'd kill this idiot!" Andy said with anger and squeezed her hand. In the evening, Maddie didn't stop to ask questions about her mother, and she was concerned about her health.

"Mom, how did this happen?" the little girl asked sadly. Sharon took a deep breath and stroked her hair.

"Maddy, honey, this is a small incident, but it's okay." she assured immediately.

"Maddie, your mother is fine. She just needs rest." Andy calmed his daughter. Maddie hugged her mother tightly. Perhaps only now, she could understand how much she loves her mother. After Maddie went to her room, Sharon decided to tell Andy that she won't give up her parental rights.

"Sharon, how do you feel? I'm so worried about you, especially after today's incident." he said quietly and anxiously. Sharon smiled softly and took his hand.

"Andy, I'm fine. Let's forget about today's incident. Look, I want to tell you something very important. I've thought a lot lately and decided something very important. I won't give up my parental rights. Ricky was also right. It's selfish and cruel toward my children. I'm their mother and I'll always be with them. I want to be with you and our children. " she said softly. Andy sighed with relief and hugged her tightly. He couldn't explain his joy at this time. Finally, after so many conflicts, Sharon had taken properly decision.

"Sharon, thank you. You took the best decision. You'll see, everything will be fine." he said softly and kissed her gently on the lips ...
