~Revelations~

BamDAMMMsters prompt... How Jack found out about Shandy.

Just helping get through the dreaded hiatus!

Sharon was just getting to the deli shop down the street from the PAB when she heard a voice behind her, "perfect timing." It was Andrea Hobbs and yes they did time it just right because both women like to be on time especially with how busy their schedules were. They chose to sit at an outdoor table after getting their lunch order.

"Thank you for meeting with me so soon, Andrea," Sharon said after a few bites of her salad.

"Well, when you called and asked to meet you for lunch I admit my curiosity got the best of me. We haven't done lunch in a while either. We are both always working or busy doing other things or..." Sharon looked up from her food when her friend paused. Seeing a smirk on Andrea's face she knew she was up to something. That's when the DDA added, "or you were doing Andy."

Her fork dropped out of her hand and clanged on the table, "Andrea!" Sharon looked around them, she was mortified by what her friend said and was glad to see that everyone wasn't staring at them. Most of the diners were police officers because it was so close to the LAPD. "You just like doing that to me don't you?"

"Oh, sorry that was a slip, I meant you were doing lunch with Andy. Sorry missed a few words but it's so easy to get you, Sharon. Andrea couldn't help laughing at the blush still in Sharon's cheeks. "Relax, everyone knows Andy and you are dating and the way the two of you look at each other. Well, come on."

Sharon tilted her head as she asked. "What do you mean, the way we look at each other?"

Andrea shrugged as she explained, "only that you can't wait to rip each other's clothes off."

Looking down at her water Sharon admitted, "oh, that look." Glancing back up at Andrea, both women started laughing. It took them a few minutes to stop. "What? Its been years and once I had it again, it's hard to see him all day and not know what's waiting for me. Though I didn't know I was making it that obvious."

"Honey, if it was any more obvious you'd actually be making out in your office," she winked at her friend, "and speaking of 'hard.'" Sharon quickly looked at her drink once again to try and hide the blush she could feel heating her checks. "Don't tell me, Rulebook Raydor had her Lieutenant on her desk?"

This time her head snapped upwards. "Good God, no," sounding completely shocked. Sharon placed her elbow on the table resting her chin in the palm of her hand, smiling as she said, "but there might have been some... um, some kissing and a bit hand exploration by both parties. That's all I'm confessing to, so don't ask for any more details." The look on Andrea's face was priceless to Sharon and she couldn't help but let out a snort laugh. That set both women laughing once again.

When the laughter finally settled down the DDA leaned back in her chair and asked. "Why did you ask me to meet you? While this is nice and all, you sounded stressed on the phone, almost panicked."

Getting right to the point Sharon said, "Jack."

"What's about him? He's your ex-husband and has been hardly involved in your life, for most of the last twenty years." Andrea knew that Sharon knew that she didn't care for Jackson Raydor.

"Try telling him that. Jack keeps calling me. He sends texts. He's even stopped by the condo a few times and before you ask, no, he doesn't have a key anymore. He knocked and I didn't let him in. He wants to reconcile. He says he's changed and that I should do it for the kids." Sharon knew Andrea wasn't going to like this next part at all. "Jack says that I broke the family up by getting the divorce and I should be willing to try to put it back together."

"I call bullshit." Andrea was horrified that Jack would still be stooping this low to hurt her friend. Sitting up straight she put both hands on the table and looked Sharon right in the eyes and said, "I don't believe for one minute that he wants to be tied down again. He's pulling this to hurt you, probably because he heard rumors that you're dating again. You're not falling for any of this crap are you, Sharon?"

"What?" She shook her head, "hmm no."

"Sharon!" Andrea's anger heated up. "I've known you a long time between work and being friends. I've seen you fall for that man's line of BS over and over. I get that he can be charming, but you just get your heart broken time and time again. You have a good man now that will never do that to you. You would be the one breaking Andy's heart if you ever went back to Jack."

Feeling a bit defensive Sharon replied sharper then she meant to, her anger should be directed at Jack. "Don't you think I know what I've been through? He knows it gets to me when he brings up our kids. I don't like that Emily and Ricky have to deal with us separately, all I ever wanted was a happy family."

"You, you have done that for them. It just didn't involve Jack. If it did they would have been hurt even more by him." Andrea could see the sadness hanging over her friend again. Man, that guy always knew how to do a number on Sharon by playing with what she loved the most and that was her children. "Ok, as an attorney I suggest you meet with him." When Sharon shot her a classic Raydor glare, Andrea put her hand up and said, "Now hear me out. Meet the jerk, set him straight. Then tell him flat out, there is no way in hell that you'll ever be with him again. Tell him to hit the road, Jack."

She slowly rotated her water bottle in her hands. "Yes, I know I should."

"No, I mean let him know now. As in right now and I do mean ASAP. Don't forget I know you well, Sharon. Pull out your phone and do it or you'll keep putting it off. That will keep giving Jack hope and he'll keep bugging you. So now!" Andrea held her hand out towards Sharon. "Do you want me to text him?"

"I divorced the man. Wasn't that hint enough?" Sharon knew it needed to be done but she wasn't looking forward to seeing him again. Shaking her head as she slid her phone out of her pocket to show Andrea that she would actually do it now, as her friend insisted. "No, I'll do it."

Her smile grew as she suggested, "Oh, and while you're talking to him you can let slip into the conversation that you happen to be having the best sex of your life. So, you can't stay long because you left the stud muffin waiting at home in your bed."

"Andrea!" Sharon set her phone down and placed both hands over her face and shook her head back and forth. Looking between her fingers at her friend, "You just don't stop do you?" She asked before they both started laughing again.

The DDA replied a little out of breath from laughing so much, "It could be worse I could have said you left your Lieutenant Flynn naked in bed. Oh and nope, I won't stop not until you get Jack to understand you are happy where you are, and that's without him. He needs to get that through his thick skull."

Finishing their lunch, with lots of laughter. Regretting that they both needed to get back to work. They gave each other a quick hug and after Sharon promised to keep Andrea updated on what happens with Jack they parted ways and hurried back to their jobs. Sharon was actually happy that Andrea made her send the text to Jack then or she would have put it off as her friend had said. She had no desire to talk to him before she absolutely had to that's why a text was best. It was worded simple stating, yes, I'll meet with you. She didn't want him reading more into the fact that she was willing to see him then he already would be. Sharon had received a quick reply. Jack's text was simple too, when and where? Her answer was today, deli shop by PAB at 6. She set it for as soon as possible; she wanted it over and done with once and for all.

Here it was now Monday morning and their talk on Friday could have gone better, but by the time Jack finally got there, Sharon was already upset with him. She had ended up waiting for over fifteen minutes. Her ex didn't care that others had better things to then wait for him. She was so tired of waiting on Jack, she had waited on this man for thirty years. She didn't want to waste any more of her time on him. Feed up, Sharon made her way to the door when she had seen Jack casually strolling over to her. It had got her even madder, that he didn't look fazed at keeping her waiting. He gave her a tight, too long of a hug and said he was buying but Sharon didn't want any food, she explained that she wouldn't be staying that long. By the time they sat down with their drinks they were sharing a few laughs as Jack was trying to take her down memory lane by bringing up some of the good times they all shared as a family. Yes, they did have some really great times but they few and far between but the bad memories for her far outweighed the good ones.

After a bit of battle of wills, Sharon had set Jack straight as Andrea called it. They were going to keep it amicable and stay friends for the sake of their kids. That was until she explained she was seeing someone else. Though she didn't say whom. Sharon had hoped that would prove to her ex-husband that she was over him and he would stop bothering her. That was when Jack had resorted to his old ways by throwing insults to try and belittle her. That was always Jack's go to thing when he knew he was losing. He didn't hold anything back. Sharon could almost see the venom dripping from his eyeteeth as he attacked her with his words.

Jack started with his usual, by saying she was an Ice Queen and she wasn't warm enough to get a man hot for her. That there was no way she could hold on to a man, she would eventually drive the poor guy away. He then pulled out all the stops when he said she had no idea how to keep a man satisfied in bed. Who would want to sleep with a hard, cold piece of ice? He also added that she should give up on trying to be in a relationship when she failed so badly at theirs. His ending argument was she should just admit he was the best thing that ever happened to her and she ruined it.

Yes, Sharon thought, he was the same old Jack, when his charm didn't work he went on the attack and tried to get into her head. Having enough she had finally stood up and said through her frustration, "I wish you a good life Jack, but stay out of mine. I don't want to see or hear from you again unless it has anything to do with Emily or Ricky. That is if you actually have any contact with your children. Goodbye." With that, she walked away.

Now Sharon's problem was Andy…

A/N: This fic had a mind of its own and got a bit carried away. Ending up being a long one so I made it 2 chapters.

Thanks to Amie and Melissa who helped my brain kick into gear with the Sharon and Andrea chat/banter.

A thank you to the BamDAMMMstersfor bringing out my #innersnark to help write Andrea.
