Chapter 41

Andy immediately prepared breakfast for Maddie and went to the nursery to take care of the twins. He wanted to do at least that for Sharon, because she hadn't slept all night. Of course, he wanted to take leave to be with Sharon and the twins, but she wouldn't let him, as always. For her, the rules were important and she adhered it whatever happens. Andy loved to take care for the newborns, even when he was alone as he had a chance to fix his mistakes. He hadn't had a chance to be with Nicole in her childhood, but he was grateful that he had Kate and Tony now. Sharon woke up and slowly opened her eyes, then check the clock. Hearing that Maddie was having breakfast in the kitchen, she decided to check. She kissed her daughter on the cheek and smiled softly.

"Maddie, honey, how are you feeling this morning? I guess you haven't slept last night because of the twins." she said with a grin. Maddie laughed and shook her head.

"No, Mom, they're just babies and this is completely normal." the little girl said calmly. Sharon sighed and nodded slightly. She was proud of the fact that she has so smart daughter and that she is not jealous of the twins. Sharon looked around and noticed Andy's jacket.

"Oh, Maddie, your dad's here?" she asked, confused.

"Yes, Mom. He wanted to check the twins." Maddie answered immediately. Sharon closed her eyes for a moment and smiled, then went into the nursery. Seeing Andy so in love with their babies, she felt happy. He couldn't even feel her coming tpward him. He'd taken the twins in his arms tightly. Sharon touched his shoulder, startling him.

"Oh my God, Sharon." He took a deep breath. Sharon grinned.

"Andy, I didn't know that you can be so good father. I knew you'd be a good father, but I didn't expect so much. However, fathers don't always deal with newborns, but you do it perfectly and I appreciate it . " she said quietly admiringly and kissed the babies, then put her arm around Andy. Andy smiled and kissed her gently on the cheek.

"Maybe I just want to fix my mistakes. Sharon, I feel weird. Looking at Tony and Kate I remember my past. I couldn't be a good father to Nicole. She has the right to behave coldly with me. Jennifer tried to be a good mother to her, but I couldn't be a good father. " he admitted sadly. Sharon shushed softly and shook her head.

"Andy, I wouldn't like us to talk about your past. I also have mistakes. Nobody was perfect, but the important thing is that we now have a second chance. Look, give me the twins and go to work. I don't want you to be late . " she said firmly. Andy rolled his eyes unhappy and carefully handed the babies to Sharon. He went into the living room to take his jacket and took Maddie to school. Sharon put the babies in their crib and decided to check if everything with Andy and Maddie is okay.

"You know very well that I don't want to leave. I told you to take leave." Andy said, scowling. Sharon and Maddie grinned.

"Oh, Andy, don't be ridiculous. I know you want to be near me, but no need. Come on, Maddie don't want to be late for school." she said sternly. She quickly kissed her little daughter and then Andy took her to school, Sharon decided to rest until the twins are sleeping. After half an hour, Andy was already in the interview room with Provenza. He had to interrogate suspected as a gift this morning. After the investigation was over, Andy decided to call Sharon and check whether she is better. He had to admit that he can't be away from her and the twins. Unfortunately, however, he'd forgotten his mobile phone home. He was angry and sat on his desk.

"Hey, Flynn, you look nervous. What happened?" Provenza asked confused, then approached him. Andy sighed wearily.

"Nothing. I just forgot my cell." he said, frowning. Provenza rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Well, big deal! It's just a phone."

"No, it's not just a phone. I wanted to call Sharon to ask whether it's okay. I'm worried about her and the twins. But she didn't allow me to be home."

"Well, maybe she just wants to remind you that she's always been an independent woman and that's it." Provenza said sternly and walked to Chief's office. Andy covered his face with his hands and leaned back. He just cursed his luck. During this time, Sharon was sitting in the living room, reading a magazine. Suddenly, Andy's phone rang. To not wake the babies, Sharon quickly went into the bedroom and saw that Andy has forgotten his phone. Of course, until he was captured by the twins, he was beginning to forget everything. Sharon knew that this wasn't right, but she wanted to check who is calling.

"Hello." she said softly.

"Oh, I wanted to talk to Mr. Flynn." unknown female voice said. Sharon was surprised too much.

"He forgot his phone. But who you are and what you want to talk to Andy?" she asked immediately.

"I'm Jennifer Flynn. His ex wife. Can you tell Andy to call me later? Please, this is important." the woman said plaintively. Sharon agreed and hung up. At this point, she was terribly shocked. What Jennifer might want to talk to Andy? And why now, after so many years? Sharon took the phone and went into the living room. She felt confused and her head was full of questions. At this point, someone knocked on the door. Sharon quickly invited inside Andrea because she needed a friend right now.

"Sharon, I'm sorry if I worried you. Look, I wouldn't want the babies to wake up because of me." Andrea said apologetically quietly, looking at Sharon. Sharon shook her head and both sat on the couch. Andrea could see that Sharon is quite upset.

"Sharon, what's the problem? You look pale." Andrea noted immediately. Sharon took a deep breath and showed the phone.

"This morning Andy has forgotten his phone at home and just his ex-wife called saying that she wants to talk to him. But why? Why Andrea? Why after so many years?" Sharon asked heatedly. Andrea clutched her shoulder.

"Sharon, you know very well that Andy loves only you. But maybe he has a problem because of Nicole. However, he has a daughter from his first marriage. It's possible." she calmed her down. Sharon sighed and bit her lip.

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe you're right. But I'll have this discussion with Andy tonight."

"Okay. You know what is right. But now I want to see my cakes." Andrea interrupted and Sharon led her to the nursery. Late in the evening, while Maddie was in her room and the twins were asleep, Sharon and Andy were in their bedroom. Sharon wanted to start a conversation, but she didn't know how. Suddenly, Andy wrapped his arms around her waist and snuggled in her silky hair. Sharon backed away and turned to him, looking at him coldly.

"Sharon, what's up? You look pale." he noted with concern. Sharon sighed and handed him the phone.

"Today you've forgotten your phone. '"

"Oh, yes, I wanted to call you, but I realized that my phone is at home." Andy said, taking the phone.

"Today your ex-wife - Jennifer called and asked to talk with you." she interrupted sharply. Andy's eyes widened.

"Jennifer?"

"Yes, Andy, your ex-wife. But my question is why. Why did she call you right now, after so many years?" Sharon asked with anger, while Andy didn't know how to explain the awkward situation ...
