Chapter 1

The family was something extremely valuable to Sharon. Perhaps most precious to her was her family but she couldn't say that she has the perfect family she'd always dreamed of. She was married to Jack Raydor with great love, but scrolling then this love had become a coldness and emptiness. No, it was not just hatred to the point where he'd decided to leave her and their little children, Emily and Ricky to go to Las Vegas to gamble. Sharon hadn't forgiven this and such a thing had no forgiveness for her. She was estranged from Jack, who was just drunkard and nothing else. Now her children had grown up and lived in New York while she lived completely alone, without love and without care in LA. She was an excellent cop and she had a successful career. Jack appeared occasionally and Sharon really was determined to divorce him because she no longer had anything to be with him - but she still didn't know that turnaround will happen soon.

One night after a long hard day Sharon came home earlier than expected. She was tired and she really needed a break. She went inside the dark apartment, but she wasn't surprised by this darkness that was for 20 years. She threw the keys wearily and went into the living room, but suddenly she felt hands that are wrapped around her waist gently. She closed her eyes for a moment and turned to look at Jack. She couldn't believe that he is back. He smiled softly and touched her face gently. She stepped back, looking at him coldly.

"Jack, what are you doing here?" she asked sternly. Jack sighed wearily and put his hands in his pockets. Sharon could see that he wasn't drunk. What a miracle ...

"Sharon, I'm sorry I scared you. But there was nowhere to go. I know this is your apartment and I burst like a thief perhaps, but I just ...-"

"Enough! Stop to explain. I know you were with Emily and Ricky in New York last week. I know you're just a drunk who doesn't know where to spend the night. You know, Jack, you're pathetic." she interrupted abruptly and sat on the couch angrily. Jack shrugged and sat down beside her.

"Sharon, I'm sorry. I know I'm an idiot and that's all. But can you let me spend the night here?" he asked quietly, looking at her pleadingly. Sharon took a deep breath and nodded slightly. However, she couldn't refuse because it was too late.

"Well, then you'll sleep on the couch, but only tonight." she said firmly and stood up, but Jack stood before her and came so close that he was ready to kiss her. Sharon didn't know what is happening right now. For 20 years she was away from Jack. Now she even had a special feelings for Lieutenant Flynn. She even slept with Andy Flynn, who was more than coworker for her. She felt that now she begins to fall in love with Lieutenant Flynn, who long ago was her enemy. No, she couldn't allow Jack to be so close. But at this moment her thoughts were fusion and she didn't know what to think. In the end, somehow she succumbed to her feelings, or more precisely, she made another mistake in her life and spend the night with Jack. She felt like a fool. At the moment, she had a relationship with Andy, who was madly in love with her and she cheated. But if this really was cheating? Jack was still her husband ...

A few weeks later, after that terrible night, Sharon had begun to feel worse than ever. She felt extremely nauseous and dizzy, which made her think bad things. Andy was worried about her health more than ever and he hated the fact that Sharon was behaving so coldly with him. She barely spoke to him. In fact, the whole team knew about their relationship which had begun soon, but he still had doubts - maybe she wanted to break their relationship, who knows ... One morning, Sharon had come out from the bathroom after another vomiting. This was happening more often and she felt real fear. She sat on her desk thoughtfully. Andy looked at her and decided to ask her if she's okay.

"Captain, are you okay?" He decided to ask professionally but his tone was worried. She gave him a weak smile and took a deep breath.

"It's all right, Lieutenant. Don't worry." she assured him in the same professional manner. Suddenly chief Johnson approached Sharon, watching her carefully but rigorously at the same time.

"Captain, can we talk to you in my office?" she asked quickly. Sharon nodded and went along with Brenda in her office. Andy shrugged and sat down on his desk. Provenza looked at him more confused than ever.

"Hey, Flynn, what's happening?"

"Nothing, just I'm worried about Sharon. She behaves strangely and she hardly speaks to me." he admitted. Provenza laughed.

"Enough Flynn, women are like that. Stop thinking nonsense and concentrate on your work." he said sarcastically. Andy sighed wearily and shook his head thoughtfully. On the other hand, Brenda had a serious conversation with Sharon for the last two weeks. Sharon knew that this conversation is more difficult than any other so far.

"Captain, are you all right? I have a feeling that you feel ill for several weeks. You work pretty slowly and I can feel that you really need a break. It may be better to take your leave?" she asked anxiously. Sharon rolled her eyes and sighed.

"No, chief, I'm fine. Don't worry, I'll be more careful in my work." she assured her. Brenda shook her head. However, she didn't think so much. Several hours later, Sharon went to the pharmacy and returned with three pregnancy test. She had to be sure in her terrible doubts. She quickly made the tests and the answer shocked her. Yes, she was pregnant - with Jack's third child. It was even worse than the worst nightmare. She felt terrible. She was convinced that this child is his, although she had spent a night with Andy too. But she definitely was sure that the child is Jack's. What would she do now? How could she say such thing to Andy? The man who loves her more than anything ... That evening, Sharon came home to talk to Jack, who fortunately wasn't drunk again. She stood before him, looking at him indifferently.

"Jack, we need to talk." she began uncertainly. Jack looked at her confused and stood before her.

"For what?"

"Jack, I don't want to hide anything like that right now. I'm pregnant." she said as soon as she couldn't endure more. Different emotions and thoughts went through Jack. Suddenly he laughed mockingly.

"What ? Pregnant? You kidding me? How is that possible?" he asked sarcastically. Sharon's eyes blazed with anger and she couldn't understand her great mistake.

"You're really asking me? Do I need to remind you that night?" she asked angrily. Jack took a deep breath and shook his head.

"However, I can't be sure that this child is mine. I can't raise foreign children, especially at this age." he said ironically. Sharon gritted her teeth in anger.

"But I'm sure. Jack, this child is yours. Whether you like it or not." she said firmly. Jack immediately grabbed his jacket.

"I'm sorry, Sharon, but I think you're just crazy. Don't bother me with such nonsense." He walked to the door.

"You idiot! You've never been a good father neither for Emily nor Ricky! I can go it alone! Go to hell!" she shouted loudly and Jack slammed the door loudly. Sharon wept with rage. She felt guilty and she didn't know how to share something like this with Andy. She knew that her relationship is now in danger because of her stupid mistake. She'd slept with Jack as she had a relationship with Andy. She was just stupid and nothing more ... The next morning, while Sharon was in Brenda's office, Andy decided to take a folder from her desk. Suddenly, he noticed a pregnancy test which was positive. His eyes widened, thinking that Sharon is pregnant with his child. When Sharon went back and saw Andy, holding the pregnancy test, she didn't know how to explain this awkward situation. He looked at her questioningly.

"Sharon, what is it?" he asked, confused.

"Andy, I can tell you." she said guiltily, somewhat. Andy, however, smiled softly.

"Sharon, why you hide something like that from me? Why do you hide that you're pregnant with my child?" This question surprised Sharon and she fell into shock. Now, she had a big problem ... Exactly, Andy thought that she was pregnant with his child ...
