A/N: This isn't my sandbox, I just borrow it now and again.

"Come on, it'll be fun. The team misses you."
She reaches over and places her hand on top of Andy's, "I'm scared."
"It's okay." He glances to her for a moment before looking back to the road, "I'll be right beside you, I promise."
"I just," she breathes out frustrated, "I don't want all the attention."
"Oh come one," Andy chuckles, "You weren't shot."
"Stop acting like that's a good thing!" She laughs as they pull into the parking lot.
"If you insist." Andy replies lovingly, squeezing her hand and kissing her cheek before walking towards the precinct.

"Captain!" Sykes exclaims and hugs her happily, "I'm so glad you're okay! I stopped by at the hospital but you were sleeping. How are you feeling?"
"Good." Sharon sighs, looking at the ground and rocking back on her heels, "Lieutenant Flynn and Rusty have been taking good care of me."
"Oh I'm sure he has." Provenza mumbles sarcastically from across the murder room, "I'm sure he has."
"Lieutenant," she walks over to Provenza and smiles, leaning against his desk, "thank you for the hat."
"Yeah, yeah." He mumbles and waves his hand in the air dismissively, "Don't tell the others."
"No promises." She laughs and taps his shoulder as she walks towards Julio and Tao.
"Captain." Both greet and rise, extending their hands in unison.
"Good to see you back ma'am."
"Oh, no." She looks to the ground again and shakes her head, "Julio I'm not back on duty yet. Soon though, I hope."
"Not for at least two weeks yet." Andy smiles and walks up behind her, placing a hand on the small of her back. She takes a small step away, trying to keep her distance. It was work after all.
"Lieutenant can I speak to you in my office?" She asks rather irritably, walking towards it and quickly unlocking the door.

"What's wrong?" He asks worriedly, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Andy. The blinds." She responds, ignoring his question, "Please."
"Yeah." He claps his hands in front of him in defeat and walks over to close the blinds, Provenza rolls his eyes from the murder room, "So what's wrong?"
"I need space around the others Andy. In here I am The Captain. I'm sorry. This was a bad idea." She walks behind her desk and looks out the window, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Sharon?" Andy asks hesitantly, knowing she needed space, "I'm sorry. I'm trying to keep you safe. I didn't mean to offend you."
"You didn't." She responds, still looking out the window, "But when we're here we have to be professionals, especially with Chief Taylor lurking around."
"Sharon," Andy takes a step closer to her and extends his hand, "come here."
"I'm sorry." She sighs, taking his hand and hugging him, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Beautiful. Dance with me?"
"Did you even listen to me?" She laughs, pulling out to grin at him, "And there's no music."
"Listen." Andy tells her and they start to dance, one of his hands on her lower back, the other holding hers softly.
Sharon smiles and she can feel herself blush as Andy starts to sing:
"We know full well there's just time
So is it wrong to toss this line?
If your heart was full of love
Could you give it up?
'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special
Don't give me up
Don't give,
Me up
How unfair, it's just our love
Found something real that's out of touch
But if you'd searched the whole wide world
Would you dare to let it go?
'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special
Don't give me up
Don't give,
Me up
'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special
It's not about not about angels, angels"
Andy finishes the song and she smiles at him, "I didn't know you could sing."
"Yeah well," he grins, kissing her nose, "I'm full of surprises."
