A/N: So, this is a missing scene/tag to 5x10. It's basically what I think happened when Sharon and Andy left the PAB that night after the atrocious events of the past couple days while dealing with their latest case. Enjoy!

Make Love Not War

After such an emotionally charged day, Sharon couldn't wait to get out of the PAB and go home. What she'd witnessed over the past couple days was nothing short of pure hatred and that combined with the explosion at the warehouse this afternoon and calling Dr. Joe in to help Julio tell Mark what had happened to his mother had sent her over the edge emotionally.

The ride to Sharon's condo had been mostly a quiet one. Andy knew Sharon needed time to process the emotions she was feeling over what had transpired over the past couple days and if he was being honest, he was trying to do the same thing as he drove them towards Sharon's condo. What they'd witnessed over the past couple days was pure hatred and the whole ordeal wasn't showing signs of being over anytime soon. Since what little evidence they had to go on from this afternoon's explosion was still being processed, Sharon had sent everyone home to recharge and decompress from the day's horrendous events and told everyone they'd start back fresh in the morning. She couldn't believe she'd used the word fresh. She seriously doubted any of them would feel anything resembling fresh until this case was over and these disgusting animals were brought to justice.

All the way home and now as they were riding in the elevator up to Sharon's condo, Andy had held Sharon's hand to let her know he was here for her when she was ready to talk. As they exited the elevator and walked towards the door to Sharon's condo, Andy grabbed his keys out of his pocket and selected the key to Sharon's condo that she'd given him when he had stayed with her after he'd been injured and had never seen any reason to ask for it back. He stuck the key in the door and unlocked it as they walked into the dark condo. Sharon flicked on the lights in the entryway before she said, "I thought Rusty would be here by now. He left before we did."

"I asked him to go stay at Gus' tonight," Andy told her.

"You what? Andy, I don't need you to manage me. You know how much that pisses me off," replied Sharon heatedly.

"Yes, I do, but I was willing to incur whatever wrath I had coming to me as a result because I knew you needed time to yourself to decompress after what we've witnessed over the past couple days. If you want me to go, just say the word and I'll leave," replied Andy.

"I'm gonna go take a shower," Sharon told him as she turned on her heels and headed down the hallway towards the bathroom.

Andy sighed as he heard the bathroom door shut. She hadn't told him to leave. So, that was a good sign. He heard the shower turn on and just as he was about to head towards the kitchen in search of something he could make them for dinner, he heard Sharon's strangled sobs coming from the bathroom. He quickly toed out of his shoes before making his way down the hall towards the bathroom, removing his tie and dress shirt along the way. Once he was standing in front of the bathroom door, he quickly undid his belt and removed his dress pants before he entered the bathroom in his t-shirt and boxers. He'd heard her strangled sobs as he made his way down the hallway and that alone broke his heart, but seeing her curled up in a ball sobbing on the shower floor nearly killed him. Andy quickly opened the shower door and stepped inside with what remained of his clothes still on. He sat on the shower floor next to Sharon and immediately took her into his arms as she continued sobbing. Once her sobbing subsided enough that she felt she could speak, she lifted her head slightly and whispered tearfully in Andy's ear, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten upset with you like that."

"Shh. It's okay. I expected to get a little heat for it. In fact, it would've felt a little weird if you didn't. That's one of the many things I love about you. You're feisty," Andy told Sharon as he hugged her closer to him.

Sharon chuckled at Andy's comment before she rested her head against Andy's shoulder and said, "I love you too, Andy."

"You wanna talk about it? I know what's happened over the past couple days has really upset you. Sometimes, it helps to talk about it," Andy told her.

"See. Who needs to pay for therapy when I have you?" replied Sharon as she lifted her head to look at Andy.

"I'm no Dr. Joe, but if it helps to talk to me, I'm more than happy to listen," said Andy.

"Oh, it's everything, Andy. From these horrendous hate crime murders to the disgusting, hate filled animals behind them to that explosion this afternoon that could've killed every single cop on the scene to the information we chose to withhold from that eight year old boy," said Sharon.

"Well, as far as those hate filled dirtbags go, we'll get them and we'll get justice for all of the victims. It may take a while, but none of us will stop until every last one of these animals is locked up in a cage where they belong. As for the rest of it, none of that's on you, Sharon. I know between your personality and being in charge of the operation, you think all of this is on your shoulders, but it's not. You have me and the team to lean on. Don't be afraid to lean on any of us when you need to. I hate to say it, but judging from what we've seen so far, I'm not sure we've seen the worst of this yet. Just know that we all believe in you and are behind you one hundred percent," replied Andy.

"What about Mark? He's a victim in all of this too. What if we did more harm than good by not telling him about his mother until now?" Sharon asked Andy.

"Listen, I know withholding this kind of information from the family members of a victim gets to you. You wouldn't be human if it didn't. I don't like having to do it either, but sometimes it's necessary in order to get to the truth. Plus, you called Dr. Joe in to help Julio with telling Mark about his mother. I know you tend to see things in black and white, but sometimes there are grey areas in this job. Areas that aren't as cut and dry as we'd like them to be. In those moments, all we can do is try to cushion the inevitable blow that's coming. You did that today and you held it together better than most people would have in that situation. I for one was proud of you, both as you're lieutenant and as your boyfriend," Andy told her.

Sharon looked at Andy and smiled as she asked him, "What would I do without you?"

"You'd survive. Sure you'd be sad, but you'd survive. I, on the other hand, probably wouldn't be so lucky. Just seeing you curled up and sobbing on the floor like that kills me," replied Andy as he placed a kiss against Sharon's temple.

"I love you," Sharon told Andy.

"I love you too, Sharon. So much," replied Andy.

"I think we've used up all the hot water," Sharon pointed out

"It's okay. We can always shower in the morning. At least we got to sweat out all the toxins from today," replied Andy as he stood up and helped Sharon up before he turned off the water in the shower.

As they stepped out of the shower and Andy began stripping off his wet clothes, Sharon laughed a bit embarrassedly as she said, "I guess I shouldn't ask why you got into the shower with your clothes on."

"Well it's kind of obvious," replied Andy as wrapped a towel around his waist and turned around to see Sharon wrapping a towel around herself too as she exited the bathroom and walked down the hall and into her bedroom.

As Andy followed her into the bedroom, he wrapped his arms around her from behind as she stood in front of the dresser and looked at herself in the mirror.

"Beautiful," said Andy as he looked at Sharon's reflection in the mirror.

"You're a little biased, don't you think?" Sharon asked Andy as she rested her hand against the one he had resting on her towel covered abdomen.

"Only in the best way possible," replied Andy as he nuzzled his face against Sharon's neck.

"Well, I guess we really don't need to put clothes on right now," Sharon pointed out as she turned around in Andy's arms.

"Not if we just plan on taking them off," replied Andy as he looked at Sharon.

"Oh, that's definitely the plan," replied Sharon suggestively.

"Good cause I really enjoy doing this," replied Andy as he reached up and undid the towel at Sharon's chest before it fell into a heap at her feet.

"I'm glad we're on the same page here because this is entirely too much fun," replied Sharon as she reached for the towel at Andy's waist as she watched it quickly fall to the ground.

As Andy leaned in close to Sharon's face, their lips mere inches apart, he whispered, "You know what else is fun?"

"Maybe, but either way, I have a feeling you're about to show me," replied Sharon teasingly.

With that, they fell onto Sharon's bed together, both intent on embodying the phrase, making love. They went about it lazily and slowly, both content to savor the experience for as long as possible. There may be a war waiting for them tomorrow, but for now both of them were focused on being with each other in the present moment and making love not war.
