Chapter 39
Andy stood numb before Dr. Julie. The thought that could happen anything wrong with Sharon and the babies made him feel worse than ever. He'd already experienced a lot in the past and he wasn't ready to experience another loss. Provenza and Brenda were here to support him, but they also were upset about Sharon.
"Doctor, I beg you, tell me that Sharon and the babies are fine. Please." Andy finally breaks the silence and swallowed the lump in his throat, expecting an answer. Dr. Julie smiled slightly and clutched his shoulder.
"Mr. Flynn, don't worry, everything is fine. Basically I'm not surprised that Sharon was in labor a week earlier. Although I warned her several times, she insisted on working. But anyway, now everything is fine. Sharon and the babies are perfectly well thanks to Mrs. Brenda. She was here for the first help. " the doctor said, turning her attention to Brenda. Andy sighed with relief.
"Doctor, thank you, but I did what was right. I can't describe how much I am glad that Sharon and the twins are fine." Brenda said excitedly, while Provenza chuckled slightly.
"Uh ... May I see Sharon?" Andy asked hesitantly.
"Of course, everything is fine." Dr. Julie allowed and walked toward her office. Andy hugged Provenza excited and happy. Provenza patted his back and winked.
"Well, Daddy Flynn, everything is fine. Look, Buzz told me that he and Sanchez will lead Maddie here since she is very happy about the news. But until they come, it might be better to see Sharon. " he said with a smile. Andy nodded and entered the room. Brenda sent a message to Fritz that all is well and turned her attention to Provenza.
"Well, lieutenant, everything is under control. " she said and sighed. Provenza nodded and stepped forward.
"Absolutely Chief. You know what, thanks to you Sharon and the babies are fine. Besides, I have to admit that at first I didn't want my friend to have a relationship with Sharon Raydor. But now, seeing how much he's happy I feel happy too. And now, I'll let Andrea. " he said firmly and walked away. Brenda pursed her lips and decided to wait in the waiting room for Fritz. In the meantime, Sharon and Andy couldn't believe that this is really happening. They both were already parents. Frankly, it was like a dream for them - yet.
"Sharon, are you okay?" he asked quietly. Sharon nodded and touched his face with a smile.
"I feel perfectly well. Andy, I can't believe that our children are already with us. I feel strange, but fortunately, Brenda was here to help me. I can't even imagine what would have happened if I was alone. " she confessed and sighed wearily. Andy grinned slightly and kissed her on the lips.
"You're so stubborn. But you know, I'm glad that Brenda was here to help you. And I have a suggestion: I'd very much like Brenda to be godmother of our twins. What do you think?" He suggested immediately. Sharon smiled softly.
"Andy, this is a great idea. But look, Emily and Ricky still don't know and ...-"
"Hey, stop thinking about it. I've already informed Emily, Ricky and Nicole. They couldn't believe that it happened, but they'll arrive in LA as soon as possible." He broke off abruptly. Sharon felt lucky again. She had a man like Andy close to her. Now all she wanted was to hug her children.
"Andy, where's Maddie?" she asked heatedly.
"Calm down. Buzz and Sanchez will come to the hospital with her. Our little girl is very excited to see the twins." he said, grinning. Sharon pouted slightly.
"Me too. Andy, I want to hug my children. Please. I want to see them." she asked plaintively, Andy sighed and nodded slightly. He kissed Sharon's forehead and decided to talk to Dr. Julie. After about 20 minutes, their desire has been fulfilled. While Sharon was holding her son in her arms, Andy was holding his little baby girl tightly to his chest. No one could describe their joy right now.
"Sharon, they are so beautiful. My God, I can't believe that this is really happening." Andy admitted quietly, staring at the twins. Sharon kissed him on the cheek, then looked at the babies.
"They will have your smile." she said softly. Andy put his arm around her.
"And your beautiful green eyes." he added with a smile. Provenza was still sitting in the waiting room, waiting Buzz and Sanchez. Maddie quickly come to Provenza excitedly.
"Where are Mom and Dad? I want to see the babies!" the little girl said excitedly. Provenza chuckled slightly as Buzz and Sanchez exchanged glances.
"Hey, honey, they're inside the room. Come with me and I'll take you to them. " he said politely and entered the room with Maddie. The little girl couldn't take her eyes off her little siblings.
"Mom, they're so small. So, I'm a big girl now?" Maddie asked with a smile. Sharon kissed her daughter's cheek. Andy took Maddie in his arms and looked at the twins.
"Yes, honey, now you're a big girl. Tony and Kate have a wonderful sister, right?"
"Of course. Maddie is a wonderful sister and Tony and Kate are lucky because they have a great sister who loves them more than anything." Sharon said proudly and looked at her little babies with love. Andy smiled happily, thinking that finally, he and Sharon have a perfect family. In the evening, Provenza had decided to take care of Maddie with Andrea, while Andy had stayed with Sharon in the hospital. Sharon was excited as she was about to feed the twins for the first time. Andy helped her sit back, then both looked at Tony and Kate, who didn't stop crying.
"Uh ... Sharon, I know this question is stupid, but I want to ask. The babies will cry at night too, right? I mean, when all sleep." he asked cautiously. Sharon laughed and touched his shoulder.
"Andy, you're so funny. Look, they are babies and of course they'll cry sometimes. Maybe that's the hardest part of being a parent. But I can't believe that you ask me such a question. You should know about the sleepless nights, at least when Nicole was a baby. " she said softly. Andy sighed wearily and shook his head, looking down. Sharon felt that he felt bad talking about his past. She immediately hugged him.
"Sharon, I'm sorry. I was a terrible father and I had no chance to be close to Nicole when she was a child. I missed many chances and I feel terrible. But I promise you that I'll be always with you and our children. Trust me. " he said sadly. Sharon hushed quietly.
"Andy, don't talk like that. You're a great dad and Nicole knows that. Besides, you're a great father for Maddie and now for the twins. You're the man I love and the best father I know. I love you and will always love you . " she comforted him with a smile. Andy smiled sadly and took the twins into his arms carefully. Sharon helped him and put her head on his shoulder.
"Andy, you see? They stopped crying because they know that their father will always be with them, whatever happens." she whispered softly. Andy kissed his little babies gently. He was convinced that their future with Sharon will be better than their past ...
