I have had a difficulty writing this considering recent events that he who shall not be named has bestowed upon the fandom. I know many of you were looking forward to this so I hope it lives up to everyone's hopes. This sequel will start just before Sharon takes over Major Crimes so the leak has yet to be discovered. I am going to feature Rusty the material witness, trying to compliment cannon but Rose is here so…who knows how that will turn out.
Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own these characters, except Rose and Eileen. I also don't intend on killing Sharon and call it satisfying.

Rose smiled as she shook Dr Joe's hand. For the past 11 months, she had been seeing Dr Joe Bowman, who was highly recommended child psychologist – she had to come to him closed off and he had prised her out of her shell introducing her to a friend of his who worked with other epileptic children interested in sports.
She had met a few older children since starting at the group, which met every Wednesday Dr Joe had also recommended a family counsellor for herself and both her parents as well as her siblings. Ricky had been the angriest, he had been slightly closer to Jack, he remembered less making it easier for Jack to manipulate him.
Jack hadn't been surprised. In fact, he surprised all of them by being fairly subdued by the whole situation. Sharon still did not trust it despite his silence. Jack did not talk to his own children, which made no difference but this only increased Sharon's suspicions.
It had been very difficult for them to adjust. Sharon and Andy felt the strain of work impacting their relationship. Pope and Brenda were hesitant about it and soon it became the LAPD's worst kept secret. Goldman had never mentioned it and they believed they were in the clear but the two were told to tread lightly.
"Well, Rose. I think we agreed this would be your last appointment so you are free to go now." Dr Joe smiled, shaking her hand.
"Yeah about that, say I need a neutral ear, can I talk to you?" She asked, the older man smiled and retrieved a card.
"Call and make an appointment, if you need to and I'll see what I can do" he smiled and she thanked him, picking up her backpack and leaving the room.
Sharon smiled as she saw Rose exit the room. Sharon also thanked Dr Joe before leaving.
"Was it a good session today?" She asked. After the whole experience Rose had changed, she became more reserved and quiet. For Sharon, it was heartbreaking to see her youngest go from a passionate, opinionated kid to a shy one.
When she made the decision to suggest counselling she hoped Rose would return to her old ways which she did in the most, she was witty and loud once again but she was more concerned about knowing where her mom, and dad, was.
"It was fine. We just retraced our steps, how I was when I started, how I am now, what I should do if I feel emotions bubbling over. I enjoyed it" she explained pausing with wide eyes, "Oh my god did I just say that?" Sharon laughed, it had been no secret that Rose had not been that enthusiastic about going to see a 'shrink'.
"I'm glad you have benefitted from it. Now, I have to visit the office for a little while so the babysitter is at home." Sharon smiled at her daughter, rolling her eyes. Mrs C was lovely but so dull, so very dull. Rose stayed quiet for the rest of the drive and Sharon tried her best not pester or worry about her.
Rose shook herself down and entered the house expecting to find Mrs C holding her stamps but instead found her grandmother holding an album.
"Granny!" Rose squealed and ran to her. The older woman held the little girl close, Sharon smiled at the scene in front of her.
"Thanks, Mom for this. I think a certain someone is bored of the neighbour." Sharon smirked "I shouldn't be more than a few hours, if I think it will be longer I'll text you" she smiled "Rose, I'll text Rose" she added noting the confused look on her mother's face.
"I can work those mobile things you know, your daddy's nurse taught me" Eileen commented, causing the other two to scoff loudly and with no subtlety at all.
"So, is she coming down, the nurse?" Rose asked sitting down on the sofa and placing her feet on the table.
"She is next week. She got a job in a local retiree village which she's moving her mother into. I'll have a friend." Eileen explained with a smile.
"I'll visit you and I'll drag Mom with me" Rose laughed wrapping her arm around her grandmother. Eileen laughed.
"Don't you be thinking I have no social life. Rosa and have some pretty wild nights back in New York" Eileen laughed.
"Rosa?" Rose asked while everyone did call her Rose technically she was Rosa.
"Sophia's mother, she is a little older but she is very zany" Eileen followed Rose into the kitchen to make a beverage.
"So, when do they get here?" Rose asked pouring her juice into her glass.
"Next week, which is why I'm a little lonely but I'm going to dinner with some of the other residences tomorrow so hopefully I'll make some other friends." Eileen smiled hopefully, Rose smirked.
"I don't know granny, you gave mom quite a forceful personality so…" Rose made a face which earned her slap on the arm.
"You are too damn cheeky for your own good, you are." The older woman scolded jokingly. The two laughed a bit more about what she and Rosa had gotten up to.

Sharon sat in her office watching her division scuttle around. She stared at the paper. She and Andy were having dinner tonight. Her mother had been all too excited to look after Rose. They were going steady, they had their fights but now it was majority normal couple stuff. It was also coming up to their anniversary, they found August was the easiest place to say they got together. Her mother poked at her which prompted her siblings to do the same, they were all quite naturally nosy.
"Captain, there's been another robbery" Lieutenant Frankel informed as he entered her office.
"Right, is there something special about it?" She asked, not looking up from her report.
"Erm, well, the thing is…Lieutenants Flynn and Provenza were involved" He explained nervously, she slowly raised her head.
"How?" she asked slowly, her head beginning to look up.
"They were there and…didn't realize that it was a robbery so the assailants got away" he explained continuing his nervousness, his hands clutching a file. Sharon sighed deeply.
"Is there any evidence?" She asked getting out of her chair.
"Erm…I think I'll leave that to Chief Johnson." He turned to leave but she stopped him opening the door and pointing to the chair.
"I need to know it all, may as well get it off the way." She sighed once again.
"As far as I understand, a dog ate it. Also, the robbery did not follow the usual pattern." He explained, she leaned against her desk looking down at him "Someone is dead, the owner of the shop, died of a heart attack. They also left their tools behind." He continued, Sharon passed a hand over her forehead, massaging her temple.
"Alright that's enough, I'll go talk to Chief Johnson." She sighed and grabbed her badge and gun as she always did and headed up to floor 9. She made her way to the Chief's office and knocked.
"Come in." came an irritated voice.
"What the hell is this case? A dog, Flynn, and Provenza letting it happen" She raged, her voice staying stern without rising.
"Captain, I wish I knew. I'm having trouble understanding it myself. Liz Provenza was there so I have a somewhat accurate description because the lieutenants were useless." Brenda huffed digging into her candy drawer.
"Well, this case may be linked to my own. Now I'm willing to share but we'll have to confirm it with Pope." Sharon offered. Brenda sighed, chewing her on her candy.
"Alright, let's go." She finished the candy and walked to Pope's office. Once there Sharon could feel the tension between Pope and Brenda, he wasn't happy with her at all. She practically had to beg to make sure she and major Crimes were on the case together.
Sharon went down to her office to collect the evidence and files from the previous robberies. She told her division of the change and they wished her luck having to once again having to deal with Major Crimes. She chuckled quietly carrying the box to the lift.

She strolled into Major Crimes watching Andy and Provenza grovel trying to get back into Chief Johnson's good books. She looked to the dog on the floor and suggested to Liz that they take him for a walk. She sent Andy a pointed look which he caught and stood quickly asking how he could be of assistance. The three of them walked out of the murder room following behind little Frank.
The small Group walked over to the park, Liz ahead making sure that Frank successfully went to the bathroom Sharon and Andy held back significantly. He smiled at her.
"How was Rose's last appointment?" he asked.
"It was fine, from what I've gathered she sees it as a positive experience, a significant change from before." She replied.
"So, dinner. We still on for 7 tonight?" he asked nervously.
"Yes, my Mom is looking after Rose so I can stay, as long as you want." She shifted her eyes to look up at him, he grinned seeing a playful gleam in her eye. He bumped shoulders with her causing her to smirk fondly. The two heard Liz in the distance, shaking themselves off a little they made their way to her.

The case solved itself after the glove was retrieved and all got out quickly. Sharon had special plans for Andy. She couldn't deny that he was a man, which meant that he was a frequent foot in mouth participant and it was true that to everyone in major crimes they were enemies but his comment to 'Bonnie' had stung so she'd decided she was going to slowly pay him back, in a way that they'd both enjoy eventually.
Upon entering her home, she smelt a delicious scent coming from the kitchen. As she got closer she realized it was her mother's famous sausage dinner, the gravy and meat so strong. Sharon groaned, she loved that meal and her mom knew that.
"Oh Ronnie, you're home. I've made dinner." She announced spotting her daughter by the door.
"Actually Mom, I already have dinner plans." She headed for the stairs.
"And you didn't bother to tell me, its lucky Rose did. Now you and your boyfriend can just have dinner here, save some money." She smiled, Sharon sighed once again she trudged up to her room.
"Change of plans, my mother has cooked dinner. She wants you there" she typed pressing send. As she began to change her phone buzzed.
"'Oh, do you not want me there?" It read.
"Of course, it's just I had plans" she typed out "special plans, Andrew, very special plans" she added with a smirk on her face. She managed to finish changing before the next buzz sounded.
"My car's broken, you'll have to pick me up" it read, Sharon's head tilted then a winky emoji appeared and she grinned. Sharon grabbed the dress she was going to wear and put it in her bag she then sprayed perfume behind her ears and on her wrists, brushing her teeth and finally she grabbed a hair clip.
"Where are you going?" Eileen asked her youngest as she all but bounded down the stairs.
"I'm going to pick Andy up; his car is broken and he is so looking forward to seeing you again and trying your food that I offered to pick him up. When is dinner?" She asked hurriedly.
"In about an hour, how long will you be?" Eileen asked. Sharon looked down at her watch made a face and replied.
"Probably an hour, we'll make dinner. OK got to go. Love you both." Sharon disappeared out the front door. Rose raced to the window watching her mother dive into her car and tear away from their house.
"Granny…" She began.
"Don't you worry I know exactly why she's picking him up and why she'll be an hour. I may be old but I'm not stupid" came the reply that made Rose smile.
-SHANDY-
When she arrived at Andy's she grabbed her bag and walked up to the door. He answered on the second knock.
"Did you turn the sirens on?" he asked grinning, Sharon resisted the urge to grin back.
"I know I have no right but the way you spoke to Bonnie hurt me." She began.
"I know and…" he started.
"Go to your room" she stopped him by placing her finger on his lips. With wide eyes he complied, Sharon followed only to stop when she reached his bathroom. He sat on the foot of his bed, he wrought his hands, he could be so insensitive sometimes. In his head, he began to plan how he could make it up to her, he always picked flowers up on the way to her house which he now couldn't do. His thoughts were interrupted by a soft cough Andy turned to find Sharon leaning against his door frame in the most exquisite dress he had ever laid eyes upon.
"Sharon, I'm sorry about the whole thing" He stood pulling at his ear.
"I understand but is it because I'm not enough for you? Am I too old to turn you on?" she asked quietly backing him into his bed.
"Absolutely not, you are so beautiful. Provenza is a terrible influence and I guess it was…I just I'm sorry." He rambled.
"Don't let it happen again, Andrew." She commanded with a glare sending a shiver down his back at the sound of his full name. She stepped forwarleaned leant down slightly allowing him a view of her cleavage. "Well thanks to my wonderful mother we have maybe 30 mins so, I can't carry out my original plan but you can show how much I mean to you" she whispered, nipping at his ear. He swallowed and brought his hands to her face.
"You are so sneaky, like a minx." He whispered as he sat up and kissed at her neck "I love you so much, I love you neck. I love your Jaw and your chin. I love your shoulders" he proceeded to kiss everything he loved while whispering to her. He manoeuvred her onto her back as he kissed down her body.
-SHANDY-
28 minutes later Sharon cried out his name. He fell to her side his back dotted with tiny red marks. He gently bit on her shoulder prompting a giggle, they lay still for a couple moments before Sharon looked over at the clock.
"We have to go." She whispered, her hands in his hair.
"Nah, I think we should stay, let me show you more." He whined, she laughed pushing at his shoulders.
"My mother may be old but she's as sharp as a tack." She wiggled out from under him and strutted over to her panties on the other side of the room. It took a while but they dressed themselves and got into Sharon's car.
Eileen and Rose were sat at the dinner table, the older women squeezing Rose's hand encouraging her to say grace when Sharon and Andy returned.
"Well, it's nice of you to join us, wouldn't you say Rose?" Eileen snipped, with sly smirk sent to her granddaughter.
"I'd said so Granny. Get a plate and sit down." Rose replied. Sharon rolled her eyes and fetched a plate for herself and Andy. As she did Andy looked at Eileen, she looked familiar.
"It's nice to see you again Mrs O'Dwyer, Sharon talks about you all the time" He smiled politely. Sitting opposite the older woman, she made a face of disdain. Sharon joined them and they began to eat.
"So Andrew, how did you come with the name Darth Raydor?" Eileen asked, prompting Rose to snort, Sharon groan and Andy turn quite red.
