A/N: When I watched the conversation between Rusty and Sharon, this was born! I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I do not own Major Crimes.

Sharon laid on her bed staring at the ceiling, contemplating the conversation that she and Rusty had before they left for the Nutcracker.

"Several times a month."

The words kept running through her head over and over again. A sigh from her bed partner sent a rush of air across her face. With a smile, Sharon turned to face him. His arm tightened around her waist, pulling the side of her body closer to his chest. Keeping his eyes closed, he kissed her forehead. Sharon ran her finger tips across the side of his face and up to play with his short grey hair. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."

"It's fine… I can hear you thinking." His eyes finally opened and connected with hers almost instantly. "What's grinding your gears?"

"He knows."

Andy's eyebrows furrowed as his foggy brain tried to decipher the short sentence. "I'm sorry… Who knows what?"

"Rusty, he knows about…" her voice tapered off as he tried to figure out what word described why they were lying in her bed, wrapped around each other… and naked, "this."

As she slid her hand down his arm she felt his muscles tighten. "What?.. I mean how do you know?"

"After you and Nicole left the apartment for the Nutcracker, Rusty turned to me and said 'Several times a month.'… I thought we were being careful enough to avoid him finding out that we are sleeping together. You only stay over when he's somewhere else."

"Well," Andy ran his hand up and down her bare stomach, "how do you feel about him knowing?"

As she thought over his question, Andy continued to brush his hand over her body. "I don't know. In a way it's a relief, I don't like hiding anything for him. But this makes things between us more… complicated. What are we doing, Andy?"

He took a deep breath, "I don't know."

"The kids are right. For all intents and purposes, we are dating. We just haven't said we are." She stilled his hand as she spoke, not being able to fully concentrate as his hands lit mini fires under her skin.

"What do you want to do, Sharon?"

"I- I want to… date you. But that's so weird to say at our age, isn't it? And were so much farther past the dating stage. You're my best friend and I enjoy spending time with you outside of our bedrooms. And…" she linked her fingers with his on her stomach, thankful he was letting her speak without interruption. "I mean the sex…" they chuckled, "we have amazing sex. But what do you think, Andy? What do you want?"

"C." She looked at him confusedly. He extracted his fingers from hers and cupped her cheek, kissing her deeply. "All of the above. I agree with everything you just said. To call you my girlfriend would be strange but I want this to continue, and I don't want to be so secretive about it."

"The sex?" She grinned as she played with him.

"Yeah, that better stay part of our budding named relationship," he said as he crawled in top of her kissing her lips, then trailing his against her throat, loving the laugh that he drew out of her. Sharron wrapped her arms around him, threading her fingers through his hair as a way to keep him there, right where she liked him.

A/N: Please review. This is my first Major Crimes fic, so I'd love to hear what you think.
