The team spent the rest of the week solving their latest case. Things got back to normal for Sharon and Andy after they got everything out in the open with the team. The kids were a different story. Sharon and Andy had both pleaded with Rusty to not tell his siblings until they had a chance to do so. They'd been stuck at the office so late that it was Thursday evening before they had a chance to contact everyone. Sharon had been short and void of details on some text messages to both Ricky and Emily throughout the week, promising to call once their case was settled. The two had discussed their best course of action in contacting all the kids, but with the kids spread out everywhere and with Rusty now in the know, they figured they would start tackling the kids, one at a time. First up was Nicole. Andy had spoken to her Wednesday asking if she wanted to come over for dinner Friday night, and she has insisted that she cook dinner since they'd had a long week.

That brought Sharon and Andy to Nicole's front door on Friday night.

"Well, here we go. You know she will be delighted," Sharon smiled at Andy as the two walked up to Nicole's house.

"I'm not worried about that; I know she will be upset she didn't get to see the wedding. Remember back to her wedding-she loves weddings. She has a sense of occasion like someone else I-

"Grandpa Andy! Grandma Sharon!" Andy was interrupted as Nicole's two stepsons flew open the door to run out and greet Sharon and Andy.

"Whoa! Hi you two!" Sharon said happily. "We have missed seeing you so much!" Sharon smiled as she felt herself pulled into the house.

"Ohhhh, that's a pretty ring, Grandma Sharon," Tommy said. "Where did you get it?"

Andy froze, looking over at Sharon, where he saw Tommy holding Sharon's hand and now playing with her ring. He looked at Sharon with a panicked expression, one she missed because she was still looking at Tommy.

"Let me see it," Matthew said, letting go of Andy's hand and running over to also grab Sharon's hand.

"Dad, Sharon, hi! Boys what are you doing?" Nicole asked as she came out of the kitchen.

"Umm, Nicole, there's something…

"Mom, look! Grandma Sharon has a pretty ring! Grandma Sharon where did you get it?" Tommy said again.

As Nicole looked over at the two boys, her eyes got bigger as she realized what hand and finger the ring seemed to be on.

"Oh my goodness, Dad, Sharon!" Nicole said as she brought her hands to her mouth. "You got engaged, finally!"

At this point, Nicole was almost jumping up and down. Sharon and Andy glanced at each other, both trying to figure out how to steer the conversation.

"Umm, Nicole, about that…

"Dean! Come here! Dad and Sharon are engaged!" Nicole yelled into the kitchen.

Sharon smirked at Andy as she felt herself being pulled toward the kitchen by not one, not two, but three sets of hands.

"Engaged? What's that?" Matthew asked.

"Ohhh, I can't wait! Matthew it means there will be a big wedding for Grandpa Andy and Grandma Sharon. That's why they wanted to see us," Nicole said as she pulled Sharon up to Dean. "Dean, look at this. Let me actually look at this. I haven't really seen it myself yet."

"Nicole, we should," Sharon started, but was interrupted again.

"Wait, what? Dad, what's going on? What's up with the ring?" Nicole asked. "Dad, it looks like this is both an engagement ring and a wedding band?"

At this, Andy sighed again with his eyes on the ceiling. "Nicole," he started, and instead of finding words, he just lifted his own hand. "It is a wedding band. We got married. See, here's mine."

"What? You did what? When did you get married? You've been on a case all week!" Nicole exclaimed.

"Yeah, we have. We got married last week," Andy said.

Dean, now chuckling, said, "Oh Andy, thank you for this. Here I thought she'd be mad at me because I forgot to stop and get dessert on my way home, but this, thank you, this gets me out of the doghouse."

"Dad, really? You really got married? Sharon, is this true? Why now? What? I'm so confused," Nicole said as she sat down at the table.

"Mommy, why are you mad?" Matthew asked.

"Oh, I'm not mad, sweetie. Grandpa Andy and Grandma Sharon just told us a big surprise, and well, it surprised me.

"Nicole, we weren't trying to keep anything from you. Your father and I decided to get married last weekend. He proposed to me last Friday, and well, we decided we didn't want to wait anymore," Sharon said.

Laughing now, Nicole said, "Now, you don't want to wait. Forget the last three years or more that you have been friends, maybe more than friends, definitely more than friends, but you didn't know or admit it, finally dating, but we didn't believe it, finally dating but not in love even though you were, finally everything out in the open after Dad's accident, and now married. Wow, I just thought we'd finally see some of the romance play out."

"Sweetheart, please don't be upset. This was for us. I'm sorry we didn't tell you before now, but in the end, you wanted Sharon and I to be happy. We really are. We're so happy," Andy smiled as he took Sharon's hand.

"Congratulations you two. It's about time. Nicole and I would like to think our wedding was a turning point for the two of you," Dean smiled as he shook Andy's hand.

"Yes, well, I was just helping Andy out by going to your wedding," Sharon commented.

"Oh, here we go again! It was so obvious you two had the hots for each other! Come on. Even if you didn't want to admit it, Dad never danced with a "friend" or a boss like that. Welcome to the family, officially, Sharon," Nicole said as she hugged Sharon.

"What's going on?" Matthew asked.

"Well, sport, Grandma Sharon and I are married now. Nothing really changes for you or Tommy. We both still love you very much. Now, you just have two more uncles and an aunt to spoil you. Uncle Rusty said to tell you hi and he hoped to see you soon," Andy said as he picked up Matthew.

"Oh no!" Nicole said as she smacked her hand against her head.

"What is it, Nicole?" Sharon asked.

"I can't believe it. I lost a couple of bets. Ugh! Now I owe Ricky and Provenza!" Nicole said.

"What? You owe Ricky and Provenza? Andy questioned. "What on earth is going on?"

"Well, the kids all had bets on when you would get engaged. I took New Year's only because Emily took Christmas. She said it would fit with Sharon's sense of occasion. Rusty said you would hold out for at least another year, Sharon, even with Dad's puppy dog eyes. Charlie thought it would be Valentine's Day, and Ricky wins because he refused to name a date, but he said that he thought the two of you would do just this-get married without telling anyone! None of the rest of us took him seriously at all, and now, thanks a lot! How was Ricky the correct one in all of this?" Nicole sighed.

"You all had bets on us?" Sharon questioned. "What have you children become? Corrupt, that's what. Taking bets on your parents behind your back. Andy, what are we going to do with them?" Sharon shook her head even though she had a sly smile on her face.

"You said Provenza. Why do you owe him?" Andy asked.

"Provenza sent me a text on Tuesday afternoon telling me that the team was taking bets on the "Desk Monkey Wedding" as he called it. Wait, when did the team find out? Did they?" Nicole asked Andy.

Laughing, Andy said, "Oh Nicole. He got you. They found out Tuesday. The old goat-he wanted to make money off of you. He already knew."

"Oh, that partner of yours! He is so cheap he will try to make money off his friends' wedding!" Nicole said fuming.

"Yeah, well we got him ourselves. He was blown away we got married. He thought I was going to retire," Andy said.

"and that you and I were fighting over said retirement," Sharon added.

"Well, one of the things we wanted to tell you about was the party we are having tomorrow evening. Really, I meant to tell you earlier this week. We both wanted to. This case was a bit taxing. Anyways, Provenza talked us into a party at our house tomorrow night. The team will be there, so you can pay him back then. I hope you can come," Andy said, smiling at Nicole.

"Dean, do we have anything going on?" Nicole asked.

"Nothing except Andy and Sharon's party," Dean added. "Although, what about the boys?"

"Of course the boys are invited!" Sharon commented. "Our grandchildren are always welcome."

"Wow, thanks Sharon. I'm so happy for you and Dad. The boys love you to pieces, as do I. Of course we will come to the party. Now, let's eat, and you can tell me about the wedding and the reactions from the other kids," Nicole said as she got up to finish dinner.

"Well, about that Nicole…Rusty found out, but we haven't exactly told the others yet," Andy said.

Sighing, Nicole said, "Dad, it took you three years to get to this point. Why am I not surprised it is taking you both time to tell your own children? Come on. Let's eat. You will tell them before the party tomorrow, or I'll Facetime all of them at the party and tell them myself-well, maybe not Ricky. I'm still bitter he won the bet."
