Reloaded (Sharon)
Sharon almost bit her tongue when she realized what she had said. Joking about a mother's job might not be the right thing to do when talking to a child that had been abandoned by his mother. Seeing the hurt look on Rusty's face reminded her again that she is not talking to her children no matter how much he needs a mother. As Rusty walked to the bathroom Sharon sat back down on the couch and closed her eyes. Getting a new job and a new roommate was tiring enough when the people that you are with people that like you. Trying to win the Major Crime squads respect after years of being considered the "Ice Witch" was an uphill battle by Sharon was determined to take care of the squad that Brenda had worked so hard for. Sharon smiled to herself thinking about how the squad would act if they knew that she and Brenda had become good friends after the federal trial had ended. But as she got up to go to bed Sharon knew that she would have to be careful with Rusty in both words and actions. She just hoped that she was strong enough to be what Rusty needed right now.
