History[]
Sharon and Dylan begin a relationship, and she starts working with him at Crimson Lights. Later, Sharon discovers she is pregnant, and Dylan is thrilled. They invite their families over to share the news. Faith, Noah, and Paul are thrilled; while Nikki and Mariah both have reservations. Nikki, as usual, doesn't think Sharon is good enough for Dylan while Mariah doesn't trust that Dylan will remain faithful to Sharon. Sharon reads on the computer that her medication can hurt the baby, and throws her pills in the garbage. Sharon becomes unnerved when Dylan expresses a desire to join the force. One day, Sharon saw Dylan rush off suddenly. She questioned Mariah and Summer about it, who said it was nothing to worry about. Sharon knew they were lying, and demanded to know the truth. She says if it was about the murders, she has a right to know since she was framed. Summer caves and admits that they know that Mark Harding is the one who killed Austin and Courtney. Sharon, Mariah, and Summer head to the GCPD where Kevin has hacked the camera's at the Athletic club. They see Dylan and Paul confront Harding on the roof. Sharon worries when Harding pulls a gun on Dylan and threatens to shoot him if Paul doesn't put down his gun down. As Paul goes to lower his gun, Dylan grabs Harding's arm and Paul takes a shot. Sharon lets out a scream as both Harding and Dylan to down, but Dylan is fine. Mariah,Summer, and Kevin want to go to the Athletic club, and Sharon says she will catch up. Sharon finds out from the doctor that she miscarried, but is reassured that she should be able to get pregnant again. Sharon goes home, and is ready to tell Dylan about the miscarriage when Dylan says he won't join the police force and proposes marriage to Sharon. Sharon decides not to tell Dylan the truth and plots to get pregnant again, but she still grieves the lost of her baby. As Sharon is sitting on a bench, Mariah sees her, and Sharon admits she had a miscarriage. Mariah responds by giving Sharon a comforting hug. Mariah tries to get Sharon to tell Dylan the truth, but Sharon worries that she willows Dylan if he finds out she miscarried. She is further convinced she is doing the right thing when Dylan tells her he can't go through losing another child. Sharon plots to get pregnant again as soon as she can, but Mariah is skeptical and thinks it is better to just tell Dylan the truth. Mariah warns Sharon that Noah and Dylan have been talking and they notice something off about her. Dylan later admits to Sharon he knows she isn't taking her meds. When Sharon goes to pick up Faith from Nick's, Faith fells her stomach and says that she can't feel anything. Nick overhears Sharon on the phone, and expresses concern for her well being. He suggests she go to a facility just to be safe. Sharon asks Dylan what he thinks of the idea, and Dylan says he wants what's best for her and the baby. Noah and Mariah come to visit, but he is too angry over the fact that his new girlfriend, Marisa Sierras has lied to him as Sharon tried to get Noah to see that maybe she had a good reason for lying. Noah leaves, and Mariah realizes Sharon was talking more about her situation then Marisa's. Mariah admits she didn't think Sharon could successfully hide the miscarriage and get pregnant again. After Mariah left, Sharon covered by telling Dylan she was worried where Mariah stood with Kevin, and had dreams about her getting her heartbroken. Dylan says everything will be fine once Kevin and Mariah talked, but Sharon continued to worry. Having the house to themselves, Sharon and Dylan made love, and Sharon had another nightmare about Sage taking Christian back to Nick. Sharon awoke, and threw her bipolar medication in the garbage. Sharon had a meeting with Chelsea the next day where she talked about bringing Mariah on to help her. Dylan wants to go camping with the whole family, and Sharon reluctantly agrees. Mariah is hesitant to go, but Sharon convinces her that it'll be a great bonding experience. Sharon immediately regrets it as she ends up running into a bush full of poison ivy. She and Mariah eventually make the best of their situation when they see how much the experience means to Dylan. Sharon becomes concerned when Dylan goes after Victor, intending to prove he had a hand in setting Adam up for Constance's murder. Sharon told Dylan she was worried about what Victor could do to them, but Dylan assures her he won't let Victor do anything wrong. Dylan only became more determined to get the truth when Adam was presumed dead when the cabin he was hiding out exploded. Around the sametime, Sharon was getting mysterious phone calls that were from Patty. Sharon went to visit Patty, and Patty told her she knows that she wasn't pregnant at Fairview. She quickly realizes Sharon knew the truth, and starts threatening to tell Paul and Dylan. Sharon asks Patty what she wants, and Patty says if Sharon gets her or of prison, she'll keep her secret. Dylan had to go out of town to testify at a court case, and Nick decided to stay with Sharon until he got back. During a blackout, Sharon feared Patty had escaped due to the fact that she was missing from the Stonehaven. Nick went out to check and was attacked by Kevin, who didn't recognize him. Patty was located in the kitchen at Stonehaven, and Mariah did her best to calm Sharon down and assure her everything would be alright. Sharon began to get worried about Nick spending time with Sully, and convinced him to leave just as Dylan made a surprise return home. Dylan interrogated Sharon and Mariah about why they suspected Patty as the one behind the mysterious phone calls, why Patty had painted a picture of Sharon pregnant, and why they didn't tell him. Sharon cried that she wasn't hiding anything from Dylan as the phone rang and Sharon was shocked to find it was Patty calling her. Dylan wanted to talk to the caller, but Sharon wouldn't let him, and hung up abruptly. Dylan wondered why Sharon wouldn't let him talk to whoever was on the other end. Sharon begged Nick for a chance to tell Dylan herself, and asked for one night to tell him, and then they could all talk about it the next day. Nick reluctantly honoured Sharon's wishes, and Sharon confessed to Dylan that "Sully" wasn't his son. Sharon explained everything that happened while she was in Fairview, and why she thought Christian was their son. Dylan told Sharon she was pregnant before she went into Fairview, and Sharon admitted she had a miscarriage. Dylan raged at Sharon for her deception just as Mariah came in. Sharon told Mariah that she needs to leave, and Mariah noted that Sharon had told Dylan the truth. Dylan picked up on that, and realized Mariah knew. Mariah stood up for Sharon, and Sharon begged Dylan not to go after Mariah. She asked Mariah to leave again, and Mariah reluctantly did. Dylan went upstairs to say goodbye to Christian. Sharon told Dylan that they are the only parents that "Sully" has ever known, and suggests they could still be a family, but Dylan asks her to leave him alone. Nick storms in and demands they give him Christian now. Sharon asks him to just let Dylan have time to say goodbye, but Nick goes to run upstairs and take Christian when Dylan stands in the entrance to upstairs. Dylan refused to let Nick take Christian while he was fired up and angry. Sharon tried to get Nick to calm down, and Nick threatened to press charges, so Dylan gave him Christian, leaving him and Sharon heartbroken. When Sharon tells Faith the truth about Christian, Faith asks Sharon if she was sick, and Sharon admits she was I. Her right mind when he chose to keep the truth about Christian to herself. Dylan recommended Sharon check herself into a mental institution to avoid prison, but she refused. Sharon went to visit Nick to bring something for Christian. Nick was angry that Sharon still referred to Christian as Sully, and acting like she had a claim to him. On Thanksgiving, Sharon revealed that she planned to sue Nick for visitation rights to Christian. Though Dylan was initially against it, he later changed his mind. Nick petitioned to file a restraining order. Chloe called Sharon when Chelsea wasn't around, and let Sharon spend time with Christian before the trial. Sharon did not divulge this, and the judge granted a six month restraining order to Nick. Sharon and Dylan lost the case when Hilary edited an interview that Mariah had convinced Dylan to give, and it made them both look bad. Dylan takes a case to go out of town and take down a drug lord. Sharon worries about Dylan while he is gone, and even ends up calling him in the middle of his mission, and then worries her actions for Dylan killed. Dylan returns, but has to go into witness protection indefinitely. Sharon wants to go home with him, but Dylan helps her see she has to stay for her children. After Dylan leaves, Paul wants the official story to be he left Sharon after learning the truth. This could make Sharon a social pariah, and both her and Nikki wanted to find another way. Ultimately, Sharon agreed to do what Paul asked her to. Sharon's sacrifice caused Victor and Nikki to see her in a different light, and they started showing kindness to her. When Faith blamed Sharon for Dylan leaving, Victor and Nikki helped Faith forgive Sharon.
