Birthday Surprises
He had been planning this party for weeks, he knew that sharon wasn't wanting to make a big deal about her birthday despite her obvious sense of occasion. But he wanted to make this as special for her as he could. It had been a rough couple of weeks for her and the entire team and he knew it was about time they celebrate the good things in their lives. He had everything planned out thanks to Andrea and the help of Sharon's kids. He couldn't wait to give her presents he knew that she would absolutely love them.
He was lost in this thoughts when sharon walked into the living room, she had been taking a nap. As she sat down she gently touched his shoulder, "Sweetheart, you ok?" He jumped when her heard her voice, he gently took her hand and held it in his and gently kissed her hand. "Yes my love i'm good," she snuggled into him as they sat on the couch just enjoying the peace and quiet for the evening.
The morning sun shined through the window into the darken room, Sharon woke to find Andy's side of the bed empty, as she sat up in bed she could hear someone in the kitchen as she started to get up and go investigate when the door opened and andy walked in with a tray of fresh cut fruit and a stack of pancakes, "What is all of this?" she asked puzzled he smiled at her, "for you my love, "happy birthday sweetheart," she looked at him for a moment before wrapping her arms around his neck and gently kissing him, "Thank you Andy," He sat the tray down in front of her and walked around to the other side of bed and pulled something out of the nightstand and walked back to her and sat down in front of her, "This is one of your birthday presents sweetheart." She sat there stunned for a moment, "You didn't have to get me anything andy." as she opened the beautifully wrapped gift and her eyes misted over when she opened the box to discover a diamond and emerald tennis bracelet inside. "Oh my!" she squealed as she leaned over and passionately kissed him. As they parted she put the bracelet on her wrist and watched as she admired it. "I take it you love it?" she looked at him and smiled sweetly at him, "I love it andy," "Well i am glad you do," "Now young lady it's time for you to eat your breakfast and get ready for the day we are meeting Patrice & Louie today remember."
"Yes, i remember," she said as she began devouring her breakfast that her loving husband made for her. After a busy morning of running errands and shopping they returned home, she made her way to the bedroom to get ready for the evening with Louie & Patrice. As she got ready, andy pulled his phone out of his pocket and called his best friend.
A: "Hey, Everything set?"
P: "Yes, Flynn"
A: "Thank you old man!"
With that he hung up the phone and laughed, he looked up to see sharon standing in the hallway wearing nothing but a towel, He began to rub his earlobe, "You see something you like?" she whispered seductively, He was all but drooling while watching his wife standing before him practically naked. He was about to say something when he came back to his senses, "Yes i do, But we don't have time for that right now sweetheart," We are running behind he said as he walked toward her and kissed her gently on the forehead, she looked defeated, "yeah i guess you're right she said as she turned and went back into the bedroom to get dressed.
He watched her as she went about getting ready he knew that he hurt her feelings but he hoped that his surprise would help with that. He walked around the room grabbing his things so he could jump in the shower after a few minutes he was dressed and sitting on the bed putting on his dress shoes when she stepped out of the closet wearing the beautiful red dress that he bought for her a few weeks ago,. "Wow, sweetheart you look absolutely gorgeous. She began to blush as he walked over to her and gently and ever so tenderly kissed her careful not to smudge her lipstick. ""Thank you, sweetheart, she smiled back at him.
As they pulled up the banquet hall he was getting nervous about the BIG surprise he had for her. As they walked into the banquet room, "Andy why is it so dark in here?" she asked slightly puzzled. As she walked into the room he turned the lights on and everyone shouted Happy Birthday! She stood there stunned for a moment trying to catch her breath, her jaw dropped as she took in the site of the beautifully decorated room along with band that was playing. He stood there watching her get flustered it was an amazing site to see, As the each member of the team hugged her even Provenza and wished her a happy birthday he slipped off to get her final present. As he walked back into the room she had her back to him, "Sharon, sweetheart, i have something for you," she turned around to see her Mother Ida and Father William standing in front of her with her two oldest children. She stood there in shock with tears falling down her face, "Mom,Dad," they both smiled at her as she made her way to them. As they all stood there hugging there wasn't a dry eye in the room, She looked up to see Emily and ricky standing before her as well, "oh my gosh!" was all she could say as she hugged her children tightly. "We are happy to see you too mom." she stepped back and looked at her family she couldn't believe they were all together, she had talked to her children this morning when they wished her a happy birthday. She looked around them to see andy standing against the wall talking to Tao and Julio, Their eyes met and he had never seen her smile so much before. As the night went on he watched in amazement at how much fun she was having, he watched her as she was dancing with her father she laid her head on his shoulder as they danced the night away.,
Standing here, Watching you,
Turning every head in this crowded room
,The lights down low,
Dancin slow,
Oh, if falling's how you feel,
And perfect is what you see,
Then I'd be what you mean to me.
As the night came to an end she was dancing with her husband, "Did you have a good time tonight sweetheart?" he asked as he looked down at her, he hadn't seen her so happy in a long time. "Yes, Andy this has been the best day of my life. As they continued dancing the band began to play Sharon's favorite song,
You are so beautiful
To me
You are so beautiful
To me
Can't you see
You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful
To me
As they swayed to the music andy began to sing to her as she held on to him tighter than before.
You are so beautiful
To me
You are so beautiful
To me
Can't you see
You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful
To me
You are so beautiful
To me
You are so beautiful
To me
Can't you see
You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so wonderful
To me
You are so beautiful
To me
You are so beautiful
To me
Can't you see
You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful
To me
He bent down and kissed her as the band continued to play. "I hope you had a wonderful birthday sweetheart," she smiled as she whispered in his ear, "How about we get out of here and continue this party somewhere cozier?" He smiled as he kissed her forehead, "sounds good to me," as they walked out of the banquet hall she was beginning to like birthdays again…
