He couldn't believe that he actually agreed to meet her, He must be out of his mind. As we waits in the diner for her he thinks back to his conversation with Sharon and Andy the night before. He knew that this was hurting sharon having his birth mother back in town.

But he was doing what she asked he was meeting with her to see what she was up to. He was lost in thoughts when she walked into the diner and made her way over to the table that he was sitting at she stood watching her son lost in thought before she spoke.

"Hi Rusty" I am so glad you decided to meet with me. He looked at her as she sat down across from him. "Well it wasn't really my choice" I'm doing this for Sharon she thought it was important that i at least meet with you." He spoke matter of factly.

"Oh" She spoke as she watched her son fidget in his seat. "Well why don't we go ahead and order" she suggested hoping to break the ice with her estranged son.

He looked at her as he picked up the menu he wasn't really hungry anymore. But he would try to find something. After a few minutes he looked up from the menu to see her staring at him. "What?" he asked slightly annoyed…

"I'm just looking at you and at how much you've grown over the last couple of years and how much you've changed."

"Well that happens when you've been locked up for the last year and half." He responded without looking at her. He finally sat the menu on the table and look at the woman before him. He had to admit that she did look a lot better than the last time he saw her.

She had been watching him intently as he looked over the menu after a few mins he sat the menu and down and asked the one question that he had been dying to ask since she walked in.

"Why are you just now reaching out to me?" He asked as he watched her process what he was asking. "You've been out for the last few months and haven't bothered to even call." She looked at him stunned she couldn't believe that he was asking her this. But she did owe it to him to tell him why.

"Well rusty" I wasn't sure how you would take me being out since you have become part of "her"family, He could feel his blood starting to boil, He sat there looking at her as she spoke.

After a few minutes he finally found the words to answer her. "First off you don't know her and you have no right to talk about her like that." He was practically yelling at her. She looked at him stunned, "Rusty honey i didn't mean anything by it, but you have to admit that since you became part of her family you have changed."

"I can't believe you right now mom, You really have some nerve sitting here saying these things about Sharon you don't know her! He could tell that he was getting even madder. After a few minutes he decided that he had enough of her and decided that he was ready to get away from her.

She was watching his reaction she didn't expect him to blow up at her like this. This whole thing had gotten out of hand. He finally spoke again "How about i make this even easier for you mom, "I'm out of here" I can't sit here and listen to this anymore.

"Sure leave like you always do rusty" Every time i say something you don't like you run away."

He pulled out his phone and text Sharon to let her know that he was stopping by to see her. As he got up from the table his phone started to ring he answered it in front of his birth mother..

"Hey mom!" he said as he answered it, "Are you busy right now?" He waited for Sharon to respond. "Oh nothing is wrong just wanted to see you before i went to class." "I will see you in a few minutes then love you too mom" he hung the phone up and look at Sharon i'll see you another day. with that he left her sitting there staring at him as he walked out of the diner and headed toward Sharon's office.

As he walked into the office he saw Sharon sitting at her desk working on paperwork he just stood watching her it occurred to him just how lucky and blessed he was to have her in his life and to be a part of her family. He was lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear Andy walking up behind him. "Hey kid" He jumped when he heard Andy talking to him. "Sorry i didn't mean to startle you." He said a he chuckled to himself.

"How did your lunch with your mother go?" Andy asked curiously. Rusty looked at him and Andy could see by the look on his face that it didn't go well.. "I take it that it didn't go well?" Rusty looked at him "That would be correct Andy" I couldn't handle all of her complaining and how she was putting down Sharon so i got up and left."

They both stood there staring at Sharon while she worked. She felt like someone was watching her she looked up to see Andy and Rusty standing in the hall talking about something. She smiled sweetly at both of the men in her life as they waved at her. "Well kid we better go in there and talk to her before she comes after both of us." I don't know about you but i don't want that happening andy laughed as they walked toward her office.

Andy walked in first, "Captain i found this young man that says he's your son but i'm not so sure? "What would you like me to do with him he said as he laughed as rusty walked past him into his mother's office. He walked over and gave her a kiss on the cheek and a hug as she stood there hugging her son she looked up to see that Andy had slipped out of the office and had left them alone. She stepped back and looked at her son.

"How did lunch go?" She asked as she walked in front her desk and sat down in the chair next to him. He grabbed her hand and started to talk, "It was horrible." "She spent the entire time complaining about everything and putting you down." "So i finally had enough and didn't want to be there so that's when i text you." She held her sons hand a little tighter, "Rusty honey i'm sorry that it didn't go well."

"It's ok mom." "I've gotten used to it, It doesn't bother me as much anymore. After a few minutes of making small he looked at his phone, "Mom i gotta run i've got classes in a few minutes." He stood up and wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tight, She hugged him back just as tight. "Text me when you get out of class and your headed home ok." He smiled at her "Yes ma'am"

Just as he was starting to leave her office they heard a commotion coming from the murder room. They both looked up to see Sharon Beck walking in yelling about wanting to see her son. He looked at Sharon with a scared look on his face, "Rusty honey go out the back way and head to class, "I'll take care of this okay, He looked up to see her smiling at him. "Okay mom, I'll see you later on love you mom. She looked at him love you too rusty. He made his way out the back way and down the hall toward the elevator he could still hear his birth mother throwing a fit in the murder room, He knew that Sharon would handle his mother.

After she made sure that rusty was gone, she walked out of her office "What the hell is going on out here?" She asked the detectives. Sharon Beck spoke up, "You know what the fuck is going on here you stole my son from me you hateful bitch!" She was screaming as she stepped closer to her Sharon could tell that she was drunk.

"I didn't steal anything from you," "You left him on his own and i took him in and cared for him." "Which is more than i can say for you." She could see the hate and anger in sharon beck's eyes just as she lunged toward sharon, Andy saw her coming and stepped between them and caught sharon beck as she tried lunging toward the Captain. "Put me down!" she was screaming at him as he stood between the two of them. "You need to calm down right now! he snapped at her. Sharon Beck looked at him and stopped. "That bitch turned my son against me." "I want her to hurt like i've hurt." "I want her to feel the pain of having a child taken from her."

Sharon had heard enough of this. Lt. Provenza arrest her and take down to holding, maybe a night in a cell with straighten her out. He looked at the Captain he was about to protest but he noticed that she had her Darth Raydor face on and he knew better than to say anything. "Yes Captain will do" with that provenza and Tao had Sharon beck in handcuffs and were reading her her rights as they walked her toward booking while she continued screaming and cursing at them all.

Andy turned around and placed his hands on Sharon's arms. "You ok?" She looked up at him and smiled sweetly "Yes i'm fine." she said as she hugged him in front of the others. "I just have to figure out a way to tell rusty, "You don't have to worry about that sharon?" She looked around Andy to see rusty standing the murder room. "Rusty what are you doing here i thought you had classes?"

He walked towards his mother and her boyfriend, "The professor had to cancel the class so i came back here." The team stood there looking at him they all felt sorry for him having to deal with his birth mother but they all knew that the captain would handle it for him.

"Rusty sweetheart i am so sorry you had to see that." She said as all three of them walked into her office. "Sharon did she try to hurt you?" He asked nervously.

"No sweetheart she didn't i'm fine." He looked at her relieved.

She smiled at her son "honey i'm not worried about me, "I'm more concerened about you."

"I'm fine sharon, "I knew that she wouldn't stay sober for long, It's not a surprise really.

"So what happens to her now? He asked as he tried to read sharons face.

"Well she's in a holding cell right now, We are going to let her sleep off her drunk and then we will go from there." He looked at his mother, "Oh,

"What's on your mind rusty?" he looked at her she had that concerned look on her face this time.

"I just can't understand why she keeps choosing to get drunk or high over me. Her heart went out to him she knew that this was a hard situation for him to have to deal with. Especially right now he was starting a new relationship with Gus and he was finally happy.

Then enter his birth mother to mess all of this up for him. A few minutes later they heard a knock on her office door. "Come in she responded."

Lt. Provenza stuck his head in, "Sharon Beck is in a holding cell and is throwing a fit but she'll be alright."

"Thank you Lt." he shut the door behind him.

"Rusty how about you go ahead and head home and i'll be there in a little bit."

"Okay mom i will," He stood up and hugged and kissed her goodbye. He walked out of her office toward the elevators. she stood up and stared out the window at the city below when she felt Andy's arms wrap around her. She leaned into his touch and laid her head on his chest and took a deep breath. "What the hell was she thinking Andy?"

He kissed the side of her head, "honey i don't know, "I wish i could answer that question for you." She turned around in his arms and played with his tie, He lifted her chin he looked into her beautiful green eyes that were filled with so much sadness and anger.

"How about we get out of here and head to your house and we can worry about this tomorrow?" She gently kissed his cheek, "Sounds good to me." They gathered their things and made their way out the murder room. She would worry about Sharon Beck tomorrow and she would put her in her place one way or another.

They arrived at her condo to find rusty asleep on the couch, She stopped and watched her son sleeping so peacefully, She felt Andy's hand on her lower back,

He whispered in her ear, "Poor kid he's been through a lot today" She sighed as she laid her head against Andy's shoulder. He lifted his arm as he brought her closer to him.

She slipped out of his embrace and reached over and gently shook rusty as he woke up he looked up to see his mother smiling at him.

"What time is?" He asked as he sat up on the couch and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. "It's a few minutes after 10pm sweetheart she replied as she walked around and sat down on the couch next to him. Andy sat down in the chair across from them and watch them. "I tried to wait up for you but i guess i didn't make it he said sleepily. She smiled at her son as he stretched out and laid his head in her lap as she brushed the hair out of his eyes and ran her fingers through his hair as he started to fall asleep again. Andy was watching her in amazement he loved how she could go from captain to mom without missing a beat. She amazed the hell out of him.

"Rusty honey, "Why don't you go ahead and go to bed she said as she continued running her fingers through her sons hair, He looked at her and smiled. "If you say so i am kinda tired anyway. He said as he sat up and started picking up his things he stopped and hugged and kissed her goodnight before he made his way to his room.

As he walked down the hall she sighed as she took off her heels and laid her feet on the coffee table. It had been a long and interesting day to say the least.
