Chapter 47

Learning from Provenza that Andy was shot and is in hospital, Sharon hurried to there while Andrea stayed home to take care of the twins. During this time, Buzz, Sanchez and Tao had taken Maddie from school without saying for what had happened. Provenza and Brenda sat in the waiting room at the moment in which Sharon arrived at the hospital breathlessly.

"Where's Andy? Tell me he's fine." Sharon said heatedly crying. Brenda squeezed her shoulder.

"Sharon, calm down."

"How can I be calm? Lieutenant, you told me that Andy is shot. But how did this happen? Why didn't anyone tell me what is happening to him?" Sharon almost shouted in anger, turning her attention to Provenza. Provenza looked at Brenda and stepped toward Sharon.

"Captain, calm down. Look, the doctors told us that Andy is better. He has a wound on his arm, but that's it. I decided to let you know anyway." he explained hastily. Sharon took a deep breath and wiped her tears. She sat down to relax. Brenda and Provenza exchanged glances. They had to tell Sharon that Andy was undercover until yesterday. Brenda squatted in front of Sharon and squeezed her hand.

"Sharon, calm down. But I have to tell you something. Andy didn't want you to know this, but I have to tell you the truth. Look, the team investigated a case of murder and we were sure that the killer is in Las Vegas. So, I decided that Sanchez and Flynn should go there undercover. But Andy insisted on going alone and we couldn't stop him. Yesterday he returned to LA with this serial killer, ready to catch him and do it, but he shot Andy and we had to let you know. " Brenda explained hastily. Sharon couldn't believe that she knows nothing about it.

"Brenda, you're my friend. Why don't you at least tell me what happens? I can't believe that Andy had gone to Vegas undercover alone. My God, he was alone!" Sharon still couldn't believe that this is true. Provenza squeezed her shoulder.

"Captain, calm down. Look, the doctor already told us that Andy is good. Fortunately, the wound isn't very deep." He tried to calm her, but Sharon couldn't.

"I want to talk to the doctor and tell Nicole." she said firmly and walked to the doctor's office. Brenda wanted to follow her, but Provenza wouldn't let her.

"Chief, she needs time." he said firmly. Brenda sighed and shook her head. After Sharon assured that everything is fine with Andy, she and Nicole decided to talk out. Nicole also couldn't believe that her father had done this.

"Sharon, believe me, I have no idea how dad decided to go to Vegas undercover alone. I can't believe that he risked his life this way." Nicole said sadly. Sharon took a deep breath and bit her lip.

"Actually, I'm still shocked. Nicole, whatever happens, I love your father. And the fact that he was completely alone terrifies me. Fortunately, he is fine now. I don't know what would have happened if he ... "

"Hey, Sharon, calm down. He's good." Nicole interrupted. Sharon decided to call Andrea to check that everything is fine with the twins.

"Sharon, how is Andy? A moment ago I spoke with Louie and he told me that he is better." Andrea said worriedly.

"Fortunately, Andy is better and the wound isn't deep. How are the twins?" Sharon asked immediately.

"They are good and they sleep. Sharon, I tried to calm them down, but maybe they need you."

"Well, I'll be back as soon as possible. First, I'll take Maddie and see if Andy is well. Thank you for everything. You're a true friend." she said gratefully.

"Sharon, don't talk like that. I'll always be your friend." Andrea said quietly. Sharon hung up and together with Nicole, they returned to the waiting room. Maddie immediately hugged her mother tightly.

"Mom, Dad is good, right?" the little girl asked anxiously.

"He's fine honey, don't worry." Sharon assured immediately. Nicole took Maddie in her arms and kissed her gently on the cheek.

"You want to see Daddy? Sharon, Maddie and I will see dad and will get back together." Nicole said. Sharon nodded with a smile. She had no strength to speak. She sat next to Brenda, while Provenza and the rest of the team returned to the department. Brenda embraced Sharon tightly.

"Sharon, I guess how you feel. But you're here and Andy's fine. That's most important." Brenda said softly and smiled slightly. Sharon took a deep breath, trying to hide her tears.

"Brenda, I love Andy. Whatever happens between us, my love for him will never die. Between us there is a strong love and I can feel it. But we both made a lot of mistakes. Maybe I'm to blame for everything. " she admitted sadly.

"Sharon, don't talk like that. I shouldn't have let Andy alone. It's my fault." Brenda interrupted sharply. Sharon shook her head and looked at her.

"No, Brenda. I created this conflict between us. I shouldn't blame Andy because of Jennifer. I know that he loves me and that he's innocent. Jennifer deliberately kissed him and I know that. But I don't know what happened to me at this time. I feel like a fool. I'm about to lose the man whom I love with all my heart. Maybe I've already lost him. " she said sadly, wiping her tears. A few minutes later, Nicole left the room with Maddie and stood before Sharon, looking at her sadly. Sharon could understand that she wants to tell her something.

"Nicole, I have a feeling that you want to tell me something." Sharon pressed lightly. Nicole looked at Maddie and bit her lip.

"In fact, Sharon, Dad told me that he never wants to see you. I tried to explain to him how upset you are, but he didn't want to hear me. I'm sorry." she said softly. Sharon swallowed the lump in her throat and took a deep breath. She kissed Maddie's cheek and turned her attention to Nicole.

"Don't worry dear, I understand everything perfectly. Look, go home with Maddie while I get back. Andrea is also there and take care of the twins." Sharon said firmly. Nicole agreed and went home with Maddie. Suddenly, Sharon felt a hand on her shoulder. Turning, she saw Brenda.

"Sharon, the fact that Andy doesn't want to see you shouldn't worry you. He experienced a shock this week. But if you want, take a break. You need." Brenda said quietly. Sharon shook her head and closed her eyes for a moment.

"I won't leave before I see him." she said firmly and went into the room. Seeing Sharon before him, Andy was filled with anger. He still hadn't forgotten what had happened between them lately.

"Stop! Don't come!" he almost shouted and clenched his teeth in pain, clutching his arm. Sharon, however, approached him, looking at him coldly.

"Andy, I want to make sure that you're well. I can't believe that you were alone in Las Vegas. I can't believe you didn't tell me such a thing!" she said sternly. Andy rolled his eyes angrily.

"We're not married or engaged. What's the problem? No need to know that." he said with anger.

"Of course I have! I am the mother of your children and you can't erase that truth. Whatever happens between us, regardless of the distance and the circumstances, I'll always be near you and will help you if you're in trouble. " she said firmly. Feeling a new wave of pain, Andy took his hand again. Sharon wanted to look at his wound, but he wouldn't let her.

"You know what, leave me alone. I want to be alone. Don't leave the kids alone. They need you right now." he said sternly. Sharon agreed dissatisfied and went home. She assured Andrea and Nicole that she can handle herself. After Maddie slept, Sharon took the babies in her arms and went into her bedroom, hoping to be able to sleep, but she couldn't stop thinking about Andy and it doesn't give her peace ...
