Sorry for the slow update I've been miserably sick! Yes I blame my husband for getting our youngest daughter and I sick. As Provenza says it's always the husband! lol

Also sorry for any mistakes I've failed to catch. Most was written in a flu foggy haze and I think when I'm not feeling good the tone of the story goes down with me.

Disclaimer: I own nothing of Major Crimes but this Shandy fanfic idea.

Sharon's POV

"Bill? What are you doing here?" Sharon's hand went subconsciously to her hair then to her face. It wasn't that she was concerned what this man thought of what she looked like. It was that she didn't want to be seen as weak or vulnerable.

"I'm a doctor here in the ER. I was finishing up my rounds and heading home when I heard talk that there was an injured female LAPD Captain admitted to the ER." Bill took a hold of Sharon's hand and patted it softly "I rushed here to see if it was you. There's not that many female captain's in the police department and I was concerned."

"Oh, I didn't know you were a doctor" Sharon said in surprise to see Bill, the guy from the coffee shop standing there. She slowly but politely pulled her hand out of his, by acting like she was fixing her blanket.

"Well, then I see you didn't pay any attention to the business card I gave you when we meet." Bill smiled at her but then his voice was filled with concern when he asked her "So tell me what happen to you? Who did this?"

Not wanting to go through the whole story. Sharon explained briefly just that she stopped for coffee, interrupted a domestic dispute and was knocked down but she ended up arresting the assailant. "I'm really am fine. I'm sure it just looks worse then it is." Sure that she must look a fright considering she knew her lip was split, her left eye was almost swollen shut and the bruises must look worse against her pale skin.

Taking her hand once more and holding it between both of his, Bill told her in a matter-of-fact way "Sharon, you are really not fine at all but I have to say you do still look beautiful." He kissed the back of her hand and sat on the edge of the bed next to her. "I'm so thankful you're alright. Now I looked through your chart and I see..."

"Wait?" Quickly pulling her hand away again this time not so politely "excuse me, you did what?"

"Sharon, I reviewed you're injuries on your chart."

Flinching in pain as she tried to sit up straighter "what right do you have to do that, I mean even as a doctor to look at my personal information?" Sharon glared at him the best she could with one good eye. She was a very private person and there was laws concerning going through patient's files.

Bill patted her shoulder and in a voice that sounded patronizing to her he said, "calm down Sharon, it's alright, I am the attending on duty. Your doctor asked me to go over your x-rays and test results to make sure he didn't miss something."

More then anything Sharon hated being told to calm down. Hearing that never calms a women down didn't men know this by now? Also when did he think he was on such friendly terms where he could touch her so freely. She was in too much pain to deal with it and argue with him right now. "Ok, fine then Doctor, how bad is it and when can I go home?"

He explained the extent of her injuries "and luckily neither of the broken ribs didn't puncture your left lung, they should heal on their own in 6-8 weeks. With the mild concussion we would like you to stay overnight but...they'll let you go home tonight but you can't be alone for the next week at least." When Sharon tried to say something he continued quickly "You can't be alone cause of the dizziness you could fall and hurt yourself worse then you are now." Sharon watched as Bill put his hand on her arm "that's why I'll be here for you whenever you need me."

Sharon took his hand off her and placed it on his leg, which she thought was a bit to close to her. Who does this guy think his is anyway she thought. Feeling overwhelmed with him and the pain she was in she told him nicely but sternly "Bill, thank you for being here but I'm a little worn out and my head still hurts, I would really appreciate some time alone right now." Hoping he would get her hint that she wanted him to leave without her having to come right out and telling him to get out.

Bill stood up "Oh, of course I am sorry, I'm sure you haven't had a chance to rest much with all the test being run. I will see about getting you some more painkillers. Then see what I can do about your release from this horrible place and getting you settled at home."

Sharon leaned her head back slowly against her pillow and let out a deep sigh after Bill left through the curtain. It did feel nice to have some peace and quiet finally. Closing her eyes to escape the lights and she tried to block out the sounds of her surroundings. To help her do that her thoughts went to where they always liked to go lately and that was to think of Andy. She couldn't help smile even if it was a bit painful to raise her lip it was worth when she thought of the Sunday night they had together. Remembering back to the feeling of Andy's fingers sliding through her hair and the way he looked at her when she told him she was ready but not for a talk. Andy's hands stilled and she felt them tighten a hold of her hair. Before she could ask him to just kiss her his mouth was on hers. It was a desperate kiss she could tell they had both been holding back from what they really wanted and that was each other.

Breaking off the kiss reluctantly but she did need air so she pulled back just enough to look at him. "Andy" she said breathlessly realizing she needed a moment to caught her breath and her thoughts. So she laid her forehead against his chest taking a few breath trying to steady her breathing and her heart rate. Sharon brought her hand up and was feeling his heartbeat it was keeping a rhythm as fast as her own. Smoothing her hand in circles across his chest. She could feel one of Andy's hands slowly rubbing up and down on her back and the other was again wrapped up in her hair. She felt content to just sit there and be held by the man she was falling for but she wanted more. Yes she definitely wanted more of this man holding her. Looking up into his dark passionate eyes Sharon told him in a husky voice "Andy, I am done waiting. I am done with taking this slow. I am done with not taking what I want. I am done putting my happiness last" with each statement she kissed him getting bolder with each one. By the last Sharon was straddling Andy's lap, with her fingers running through his hair and deepen their kiss.

Sharon let out a moan and rolled her hips to get as close as possible to Andy. It had been so long since she felt free enough to just let herself feel and not get lost in her mind by over thinking everything. She felt Andy's hands wander through her hair again, the soft touch of his fingers felt amazing sending shivers down her body. But when she felt him pull his head away and lean back from her she instantly was worried that she pushed this too far and too fast. Then boom all the thoughts she kept pushing out of her head coming storming back make her physically flinch. Maybe he was just now realizing what she knew the whole time that she wasn't what he wanted. Your not his type, Andy liked girls like Cindi, young, blonde and she'd have to say a little bit stupid. He didn't want a mature woman that could form her own opinion and Sharon had a lot of those. She also knew she was too much trouble to deal with. She couldn't bring herself to look Andy in the eye so she focused on spot on the wall and was moving her legs off of him to stand up, wanting to try and make her escape as fast as she could.

But Andy wouldn't let her move, he kept his fingers entwined in her hair and turn her head so she would have look at him but she keep her eyes closed. She figured his rejection would be easier if she didn't look at him. "Sharon stop. You need to stop thinking so much and get out of your head, now open up those gorgeous green eyes of yours." Still she kept them tightly shut and tired one more time to get off his lap. "Nuh uh Sharon, you're not going anywhere and I stopped what was about to happen here for a reason. I just need to know something." Hearing the affectionate tone in his voice Sharon let out a hmmm and she slowly opened her eyes blinking a few times at the intensity in which he looked at her. With her finally looking at him, he continued in the same caring voice "slow? So you're done with taking this slow, are you?" Andy gave her that sideways boyish smile that sent shivers to her core. "It's our second date Sharon this seem to be happening rather fast. I need to be sure this is what you really want."

Knowing that he wasn't turning her down that her mind was over-analyzing again and that he was just worried about her, it all sent relief through out her. She took a long deep breath trying to get her confidence back and told him the truth. "You want to know what I really want? Andy what I really want is...you and right now!"

"Oh my God! Sharon, what the hell happened to you?" Rusty's voice echoed through the small area she was in snapping her out of the sweet thoughts she was having "and you say this is fine? Oh no, Rusty don't hurry down here you just stay in school and finish your classes for the day, I'm fine. That's what you said Sharon. Really so this is what you consider fine?" The whole time through Rusty's rant at her Sharon had her eyes closed. She was excepting this when he got there she knew he was going to be upset about seeing her like this but she couldn't very well tell him the truth on the phone and have him rush to the hospital in a panic.

"Is everything ok here?"

Hearing the other voice by her, she slowly opened her eyes first to see her very mad son then turn to see Bill standing by her bed again. Her head was killing her it was easier to stay in the darkness of having them closed but she needed to deal with them both "yes, we're fine." Turning back to the angry teenager she calmly said "Rusty, I really am fine, it looks worse..."

"No!" Rusty voiced boomed through the small area "no, Sharon don't you dare tell me it looks worse then it is. Because I can tell from just walking in here and seeing you that you are like in a lot of pain." Rusty looked at the doctor standing on the opposite side of the bed then back at Sharon and in quieter voice he said, "did you forget that I know the pain of what it feels like to get hit and attacked?"

She placed her hand on his arm and rubbed it up and down "no honey, I'll never forget that. So ok, yes it hurts a little but it's not like I was shot and bleeding out on the floor."

Rusty pointed a finger at her "that's, not funny" but gave her a small smile at the reversal of roles they were doing and how she used his words to her back at him. Yes now he knew how she felt.

Rusty looked back at the doctor that was just standing there watching their exchange and Sharon said "oh, I'm sorry Rusty this is Doctor Foster and this is my son Rusty" Sharon said proudly.

"Nice to meet you, Rusty" he said as he held his hand out Rusty shook it and said hello. "Well, I'll leave you two alone for a bit but I'll be back soon to see about getting you home Sharon." Bill placed a hand on Sharon's knee, Rusty eyes followed the doctor's hand on her leg then looked up at the man but Rusty noticed his eyes were focused on Sharon. Rusty saw Sharon move her legs closer to his side of the bed and the movement succeed in removing the man's hand. Rusty knew she was the same way he was about touching especially with people they barely knew.

After Sharon settled closer to her son though the move caused her great pain, she just wanted to get Bill's hand off of her without making it look uncomfortable with Rusty there. She was use to unwanted advances, she had to deal with it her whole career and Sharon knew she could deal with this from the doctor. Just not in front of her son and not when her head was clouded in pain. What she really wanted was to go home and she couldn't believe she was thinking this but what Sharon really wanted was Andy with her. He had a way to make her feel better by just being by her. She looked over at Bill and in her polite but slight Captain's voice said "yes, thank you but I don't want to keep you from what's important. I'll be just fine with Rusty here."

"Oh but you're what's important to me right now. I'll go but be back as soon as I can."

Sharon said as he was leaving her room "no need to rush I'm in great company and thank you again Bill."

"Bill? As in that Bill?" Rusty asked her in hushed voice after the touchy-freely doctor left.

Sharon nodded her head at Rusty, which in turn caused her to feel nausea. When was she going to learn not to move too much, she let out a soft groan, she was hoping Rusty didn't hear her. But of course he did and panicked. "Sharon are you ok? Do I need to go get a doctor? I'll even get that stalker guy, Bill if it will help you."

"No Rusty, I am fine I just upset my stomach when I moved my head to fast and please don't call Doctor Foster a stalker he's just trying to be nice."

"Yeah, right ok you're fine and Bill is not a creeper, I'll pretend along with you for now."

"Ok, ok I hope everyone is decent." Lieutenant Provenza said to announce himself.

"Hello Lieutenant." Rusty said when the Lt. was by Sharon's bed "will you tell Sharon that her injuries are worse then they look and that she should stay overnight in-case it gets worse."

"No way Kid, I'm not getting in the middle of this. You know the Captain doesn't listen to anybody but herself." Provenza looked around surprised to only see her kid visiting her.

Rusty smiled added to it "yes, I suppose that's true she is a little stubborn..."

"Hey, I'm right here, you two can stop talking about me like I'm not here." Sharon looked from one to the other slowly and stated, "I am fine and I am going home tonight."

"Why not stay where they can keep an eye on you here and they bring your food right to your bed but hey go home. I think it's a bit of a stupid thing to do and talking about doing stupid things, where is Flynn?" Provenza asked as he looked around again.

"Andy, hasn't come by yet. I figured you were all busy with the new murder." When Sharon said Andy's name her hand subconsciously went up to her face then to her hair. Closing her eyes remembering for a minute how his hands felt tangled in her hair. When she opened them she saw Rusty and her Lt. starting a each other. "What?" When nothing was said Sharon asked her second in command "so tell me about the case we just caught."

"Oh, the same old same old. Taylor is handling the press like he always does. The husband did it, like I always say it's always the husband, it's always..."

"OK, I get it it was her husband" Sharon said with a small roll of her eyes. "So the then the case is closed? Did you make a deal?" Knowing how much he hated giving murders deals.

"Well no, not yet we can't find the creep" Provenza mumbled as he sat in the chair in the corner. "So everyone is meeting back in the morning to start fresh. Hard to keep Sykes concentrating on her job when she worried about her almighty Captain and the rest of the team should be here any minute."

"Oh great" Sharon groaned she didn't really want to be seen like this.

"Ah get over it, you still look fine just a little black and blue. Whether I like it or not you're one of the team now and your team all want to come down and show their support." Just then they all walked in and was surrounding their captain. All but Andy she noticed.

Amy rushed up to her "oh my God, Captain. Even after all that man did to you, you still managed to arrest him. Great job."

"Wait, what?" Sharon glared slightly at Tao and Buzz "did you two get the footage from the coffee shop and suppose you all watched it?" The Lieutenant Tao looked at the other Lt.

"Well of course, Captain would you expect anything different for us?" Provenza said nonchalantly.

"Ma'am, you kicked his a...I mean you kicked that punk's butt" Julio said as he gave her a proud smile of his.

"Seems to me I might need to send a few of my team to an Abuse-of-Power seminar." Sharon said only half way jokingly.

"Ha, then you'll have to send Asst. Chief Taylor too. Which I'd like to see cause I'm sure you could and I'm sure he needs it." Provenza added.

"Great Taylor, saw it also?" Sharon groaned.

Buzz said, "yes he's the one that ok'ed us to get it. Not that, that would have stopped some on this team anyways" looking at Lt. Provenza.

Rusty looked around and was surprised not to see Andy "where's Lieutenant Flynn?" He asked out right.

"He should have been here way before us." Buzz announced then looked at Lieutenant Provenza "since the power hungry man-in-charge ordered him out of the Murder Room over a hour ago."

Everyone is the room was looking at Sharon as if waiting to see her reaction. Even injured and in pain inside and out she wasn't going to give them one. She calmly said "something important must of come up." She left out the more before important but that's how she was feeling.

"Well, Sharon I've got you sprung from this joint and I've come to take you home." Bill stopped when he came through the curtain and he saw all the people around her.

"Oh, Doctor Foster this is my team" and she introduced them all.

When she was done Rusty said loudly "yes this is Doctor Bill Foster." Sharon noticed her son emphasized Bill first name and that he was looking at Lt. Provenza. What did they do now? How would he know who Bill was and the way Rusty was hinting at her Lieutenant they all must know that he was the man sending her gifts. Sharon knew she was going to have to have a long talk with her team and very soon.

The doctor said hello to everyone then it became quite awkward, leave it to her second-in-command to break the silence Sharon thought. Provenza stood up and shook the man's hand and said "hey it's nice to meet you but we've got her from here Doc thanks." Sharon knew the older Lieutenant was smart and he was a great detective he figured he must of picked up on something like she did about Bill. Provenza patted him on the back and turned Bill to escort him out.

Bill stopped and turned around "but she can't be left alone, it's dangerous with her concussion."

"Well, as Police Officers we all expert in concussions just ask Detective Sanchez."

One eye glared at him "Lieutenant that's not funny." Sharon said horrified.

"I just meant Julio has had a few of them and we know what to look out for." Louie said with a get over it wave "calm down, Captain and Doc trust me she won't be left alone. Between all of us she'll be wishing we'd leave her alone by the time were done watching out for her."

"Ok if you're sure Sharon, here are the discharge papers just sign them and your free to go." Bill walked over to her bed laying the papers on her lap and took a hold of her hand again and slowly turning it over "here's another of my business cards call me if you need anything, anything at all and at anytime at all I'll be there for you.

Sharon didn't know if her pain and symptoms were giving her a headache or if it was this man. Being polite she thanked him again and he finally left.

"Thank you all for coming all the way to see me but I'd like to sign these papers and get home."

Rusty could see that her head was killing her again. "Yes, I think Sharon has had all the excitement she can handle for the day. I'll get her home and settled I'll call Provenza tomorrow and let you now how she's doing."

Sharon was very proud of Rusty taking charge like this but still "you do know I'm still right here Rusty?"

"Oh I know you'd never let me forget it. But I'm in charge now until you're doing better. So let's clear out and let my mom get ready and you all can help me get her to my car." Rusty said as he was walking the team passed her.

Sharon smiled she couldn't argue with him when he used the 'my mom' card and they both knew it.

"Ok, everyone you heard the man speak. We will be waiting just out here in the waiting room for you both" Provenza said as he helped usher them all out of their boss's area. He walked up to Mike "I don't care what you have to do but find me Flynn and right now!" Provenza grumbled as he walked ahead "I'm going to shot that idiot."

Sorry about the angst? Well maybe I am. lol
