Chapter 35

Almost a month later, Andy had begun to make other plans for the future. Since Sharon was in the fifth month of her pregnancy, he wanted to make her very big surprise. He wanted them to move to a new home because he felt that this apartment is too small for them and considering the new changes with the twins, they really had to do this step. Andy didn't know how to say this news to Sharon, knowing how stubborn she is. During this time Provenza had begun a relationship with Andrea Hobbs. Sharon and Brenda were quite surprised that they even want to get married. They were happy for them as it should be. One morning, Andy was preparing breakfast in the kitchen while Sharon was in the bedroom. He used the time to talk to Maddie about the big changes in their family. He kissed his daughter on the cheek and sat down across from her.

"Good morning princess." he said with a smile.

"Good morning, Dad. You look nervous." the little girl remarked immediately. Andy was amazed how Maddie is so smart.

"Actually, Maddie, I prepare a little surprise for your mother. But let this remain a secret between us." he said quietly. The little girl nodded slightly.

"What a surprise Dad?"

"Honey, look, you know that in our family there will be many changes with the arrival of the twins." he began uncertainly, "And you know that this apartment is pretty small for us. Don't you think?"

"Yes, Dad. But what do you mean? I'm confused by your words." the little girl admitted looking at her father curiously. Andy took a deep breath, making sure that Sharon isn't coming.

"Maddie, we want to move into a new home. This will be great for the new changes in our family. So, you'll have your own room too." he said softly and smiled clutching her hand. Maddie nodded with a smile.

"Dad, that's great. But I don't think mom will accept this so easily." Maddie said thoughtfully. Andy sighed wearily and shrugged. In fact Maddie was right. So, he didn't know how to share something like this with Sharon. In the meantime, Sharon chose which dress to wear. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and looked at her baby bump which showed more and more. She frowned slightly and threw her clothes on the bed, then with slow steps walked toward the kitchen. She approached Maddie sleepy. She hadn't slept all night, because the twins weren't stopped kicking all the time. Andy immediately helped her sit in the chair and he immediately served her breakfast. Sharon sipped her orange juice and stroked Maddie's hair.

"Maddie, honey, how are you feeling this morning?" she asked anxiously. Maddie smiled and winked at her father.

"Perfect Mom. But we need to ask this question." the little girl said insolently. Andy grinned slightly, while Sharon pouted slightly.

"Well, fine. But you know that I am perfectly fine. By the way, how is your project at school?" Sharon decided to change the subject.

"Pretty good, Mom. You know, the teacher said that my design is the best." Maddie said proudly. Sharon kissed her daughter tenderly on the cheek. After Maddie went to her room to take her bag, Sharon turned her attention to Andy. She took his hand, seeing how tense he is. He looked at her with a slight smile.

"Andy, are you sure that everything is okay? I feel that you're hiding something from me." she said anxiously. Andy shook his head and kissed her hand.

"No, Sharon, nothing like that. I just think about the last case." He answered immediately. Sharon sighed and nodded slightly. She yawned for a moment and that made Andy to laugh.

"It seems the twins didn't leave you in peace tonight." he grinned. Sharon closed her eyes for a moment and rubbed her belly.

"Definitely. But if we consider their father, we can make a good conclusion." she teased. Andy bent slightly and kissed her gently on the lips. After a few minutes, they took Maddie to school, then went to work. Sharon was no longer participated in the investigation because Brenda was ordered this because of her pregnancy. Andy sat pensively on his desk, while Provenza was looking at him closely.

"You know, Flynn, I feel happier than ever. Ever since Andrea accepted my marriage proposal, as if I'm a new person." he said contentedly. Andy sighed and nodded slightly.

"Good luck, old man." he said indifferently and threw his pen, leaning back. Provenza saw that his friend is distracted and decided to ask him what was happening.

"Flynn, what happens now? When I asked this morning, you said that you think about the case, but now I can see that you're hiding something. Come on, tell me." Provenza pressed. Andy shook his head.

"Louie, I want to surprise Sharon. Considering the recent changes in our family with the twins, I decided that we should move to another home. My apartment is too small for us. I already talked to Maddie and she agrees. But I don't know how to say this to Sharon. You know how stubborn she is. " Andy explained hastily. Provenza squeezed his shoulder.

"Look, go with her to lunch and tell her everything. She is currently in the interview room with Julio, but I think now is the time to tell her what you want. Come on." he encouraged him. Andy decided to listen to his friend. However, he couldn't hide something as important by Sharon. After half an hour, Sharon and Julio came out of the interview room together. The detective helped the captain all the way to her desk until Andy decided to take care of her. Sharon smiled slightly and sat on her desk carefully. Andy smiled contentedly and knelt before her.

"We won't need the whole team to be so concerned about me, Lieutenant Flynn." she said, frowning. Andy grinned and shrugged.

"But I think they should. Look, considering the lunchtime... How about a good lunch at our favorite restaurant? I know you're hungry as well the babies. Therefore, you have no right to refuse in any way." he said firmly. Sharon took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

"Well. I admit, I'm hungry and I feel that babies can't wait too. Don't even think that I would give up so easily. Especially when I know that you'll be with me." she said softly and kissed him tenderly on the cheek. Andy smiled happy, placing his hand on her belly. After about an hour, Sharon and Andy were already in the restaurant. Andy wondered how to start the conversation and how to share what he wants with Sharon. She looked at him and took a sip of her water.

"Well, you told me that you want to talk something important with me. Andy, are you ready to share what you want? Because my patience ends." she said firmly. Andy nodded slightly and took a deep breath.

"In fact, Sharon, you know what major changes will occur in our lives with the twins and our apartment is too small for us. So, I think we need to move to another home." he said immediately. Sharon almost choked.

"Andy, a new home? But you're serious? Oh, but we must also think of Maddie." she said unhappily.

"Sharon, I already talked to Maddie and she agrees. But I think that ...-" while Andy wanted to explain his desire, Sharon's phone rang. Sharon looked at Andy apologetically and decided to respond.

"My God, I can't believe it. How could he be dead?" she asked heatedly, causing Andy to look at her more confused than ever.

"Sharon, who is dead? What happened?"

"Jack had committed suicide."
