Chapter 58

Almost a month later, Sharon felt better. She was about to forget the terrible incident, but not quite. Andy tried to help her in any way, but she just didn't talk to him. She was colder than ever with everyone, even with their children. As the doctor had said, sometimes quite often lately, Sharon had crises. She and Andy were arguing like a cat and a dog - as in the past. But this time was different. Among them there was love, and they couldn't erase that truth. The harmony and the happiness between them was gone because of these meaningless disputes. One morning, Sharon fed the twins while Andy opened the wardrobe to choose a suitable tie. He looked at Sharon and shook his head.

"Are you okay?" he asked anxiously. Sharon kissed her babies and nodded slightly ignoring him. But he was stubborn. He knelt before her and caused her to look into his eyes.

"I told you I'm fine." she spat and she looked back at Tony and Kate with a smile, but Andy could feel that even this little smile was fake. It wasn't the same warm smile. He went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Maddie. The little girl was sitting at the table sad. Andy kissed his daughter on the cheek and sat down beside her.

"Hey, Maddie, honey, what happened? You look upset." he noted with concern. Maddie sighed and shrugged.

"Dad, Mom didn't talk to me. I feel terrible. She's never done so. She's angry with me?" the little girl asked sadly. Andy shushed softly and hugged his daughter tightly.

"Don't talk like that, honey. Your mother just experienced a huge shock and you know this very well. But she loves you and your siblings too. She is a great mother. She'll be fine." he assured, determined to talk with Sharon about their children and her strange coldness. When the twins slept, Sharon led them in the nursery, then went into the kitchen for breakfast. She kissed Maddie's cheek and sat down across from her while Andy served her kindly.

"So, how's my princess?" Sharon asked with a smile, but Andy could feel that her words sound like a sham. She didn't speak with the same love and everyone would understand that.

"I'm fine, Mom. Uh ... Mom, can you and Dad come together to pick me up from school?" the little girl asked cautiously. Sharon sighed wearily and closed her eyes for a moment.

"Maddie, I would like, but I won't succeed. Your father will pick you up from school as usual. I promise to come with him soon." she said apologetically. Maddie nodded and went to her room to take her bag. Andy used the time to talk to Sharon.

"Sharon, why are you doing this? Why you're so cold with everyone? Maddie wants your presence and especially your love. But you just run away. Why are you doing this?" he asked disgruntled. Sharon took a deep breath and gave him a cold look.

"I just feel strange, and you know this very well. What do you mean? I'm a terrible mother? '"

"Of course not. Sharon, you behave terribly cold and Maddie can understand that. You're not that Sharon that I know." Sharon swallowed the lump in her throat and her eyes filled with tears. Her hands began to tremble with anger. Yes, she also felt the changes in her body and in her soul. She'd changed radically after the coma. After a few minutes, Andy took Maddie to school and Sharon went into the nursery. She hugged the little babies tightly, wanting to understand what is happening to her. She wasn't at all well and she knew it. Andy went to the department and sat on his desk in anger, but upset at the same time. The whole team can feel that their colleague wasn't feeling at all well lately, especially Provenza. He couldn't understand what was happening to his friend.

"Hey, what's up with Lieutenant Flynn? He looks upset." Buzz noted silently.

"You know, the captain gets crises, and that makes she and Flynn to argue constantly." Tao explained hastily. Provenza could hear these strange comments. He went to Andy.

"Hey, Flynn, what happens to you? Lately you seem pretty upset. I know that Sharon is already receiving these crises. But the doctor said that is normal after the experienced shock and after that horrible coma." Provenza tried to calm his friend but Andy couldn't calm down.

"I feel terrible. She has these crises more often and we argue almost every night. I got two tickets to Paris. I want to go on vacation with her. I think she needs it. I talked to Brenda and Fritz and they agreed to take care of the children. " he said thoughtfully.

"Look, don't worry about the kids. I and Andrea also can take care of the kids. But you have to solve this problem with Sharon as soon as possible." Provenza said firmly and joined the rest of the team. Andy sighed and leaned back, closing his eyes for a moment. Brenda approached him and stood before him with.

"Lieutenant Flynn, let's talk in my office." she said quite professionally. Andy agreed and went to the office. Brenda closed the blinds and stood before him, watching him carefully.

"Andy, I wanted to talk privately. I want to know what's going on between you and Sharon." she said firmly. Andy took a deep breath and put his hands in his pockets.

"What can I say? Look, Sharon behaves quite strangely. Yes, the doctor warned me that she'll receive crises, but I had no idea that we would argue so much. She behaves so coldly." he said thoughtfully. Brenda clutched his shoulder.

"Andy, she needs your love, whether she has a crisis or not. Yes, you might argue, but you love each other and you can't escape from this truth." she said firmly. Andy shook his head.

"What can I do? I don't know, I feel awful." he admitted sadly.

"Andy, you should talk with Sharon about this vacation to Paris. If she is accepts, then you'll have a chance to make her forget that terrible day. Don't worry about the kids, me and Fritz will take care." she assured with a smile. Andy agreed uncertainly. In the evening, he and Maddie went home and Sharon was on the balcony. Maddie went to her room while Andy went to the balcony slowly. Sharon looked at the stars thoughtfully. The memories began to return. The wedding, the shooting during the ceremony, the slow bullet which enters her body and her blood on the wedding dress. Tears streamed down her cheeks.

"No!" she shouted and pulled back while Andy hugged her tightly. He kissed her gently on the forehead and led her into the bedroom.

"Calm down, Sharon. It's all right." he said encouragingly and wiped her tears. Sharon backed away in anger.

"Stop it, Andy! Nothing is okay! I feel worse than ever. I feel these changes inside me. Everything changed after the coma. Absolutely everything. Andy, I can't forget. I remember everything that happened at the ceremony. This shooting, this pain and this blood on the wedding dress. I can't. " she said softly crying. Andy shushed softly and kissed her gently.

"Stop thinking about it. Look, I talked to Brenda and Provenza. They'll take care of the children while we ... Uh ... I took two tickets for Paris. I think you need this rest. So, will you come with me to Paris? " he asked reliably, believing that at least this time, Sharon will give him a clear answer without the need for unnecessary disputes ...
