Disclaimer: I own nothing but my own words and surely the mistakes. These two characters were created by James Duff for The Closer/Major Crimes, I just borrowed them for my story.
It's a fictional story that possibly violates all reasonable concepts of what these two would actually do, but that's the fun of writing a fanfiction.
Andy was still on the phone with his partner when Sharon ran to him and wrapped her arms around him crying. "I'll call you back," he hung up with Provenza. "Hey Sharon, what's going on?"
"There is someone Andy, someone entered my house. I know it now," she was sobbing and crying. She looked him in the eyes and she could see he didn't believe her.
"Sharon, we talked about that already, you know it cannot be possible," he tried to reassure her and held her tight in his arms. She was shaking.
Nonetheless, Sharon was determined to prove she was right. She grabbed his hand and walked him in front of the library, "Look you saw me moving the picture here and…" the picture was standing on the library. Sharon started to hyperventilate and she was shaking even more, everything was becoming too confusing in her mind and she couldn't understand how it was possible. She had just seen the picture on the desk and she hadn't moved it from there before running to Andy, but then the picture was standing on the library.
Sharon grabbed the picture and threw it in the hallway shouting, "Get out!" She fell down onto her knees on the floor and Andy leaned down to hug her and comfort her. She was still crying when she tried to reach for the frame she had smashed against the floor, "I am so tired, Andy. I can't!"
Andy sat down on the floor and pulled her closer as he leaned on his back against the wall, "I'm so sorry Sharon. If it wasn't for me you-"
"It's not your fault." Sharon held the frame closer to her heart, she was in pieces like the glass on the floor, she was broken and couldn't put back together the pieces of her soul. "I fell in love with you too," Sharon let go of a breath and her last tear fell from her eye, "we made a mistake being together!"
It hurted Andy to hear this. She considered their love story a mistake and it hurted him. But he couldn't blame her, how could he? It had all been ups and downs and for once they had settled, then he had brought in drama with his past.
Andy stood up, "I need to make a phone call." Sharon didn't move, still holding her frame; she looked at him walking away without letting out of a breath or a sigh. She stayed still.
"Okay, thank you!" Andy hung up and walked again next to Sharon. "What do you say about getting up and going to bed? You need some rest. Your body is still not 100% healed and strong," he helped her up.
"Oh my God, Andy!" Sharon seemed like coming out of a trance. "I'm so sorry, I said… I said a terrible thing before," she put down the photo on the library and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "I didn't mean it, I didn't…"
Andy took her face in his hands and kissed her, "I believe you!" He whispered it but she heard it. Her eyes opened wide and finally she saw hope again, that she wasn't going mad and that he, at least one person, believed her. "And I think there's a lot more behind," he was still whispering and Sharon couldn't understand why. He spoke into her ear I think we are being spied on, he had said and she froze at his words. She could not believe that was possible, that it had gone that far. But it may have explained a lot of things. I called Agent Howard and he will come here, he continued whispering into her ear. "So now I want you to go to bed and take a nap, I will make lunch and wake you up when it's time," Andy smiled at her as they entered the bedroom, and Sharon was looking surprised and disbelieving. She thought she had gone mad and for all this time he had had his own ideas on what was happening; he helped her into the bed and sat next to her when she was all set. "Close your eyes, get some rest. I will be in the kitchen, shout if you need me."
Sharon gripped his arm as he was standing up, "don't leave me!" She was scared, now that it was clear that they had been spied on, she was scared that something was going to happen. "Stay here with me," Sharon pulled Andy down with her under the blankets, she took off his t-shirt and started kissing him passionately.
"Sharon, you don't have to make up for anything, you know right?" Andy was laying next to her and caressing her hair.
"I was a monster before, Andy!" She stretched her neck to reach his lips.
"Somehow you were not wrong," Sharon looked at him puzzled. He took a deep breath, "if we hadn't fallen in love you wouldn't be in danger. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to you," he kissed her too. The smack of their kiss echoed in the room. "We should have never fallen in love with each other," Andy smiled at her, "but I'm glad we did!"
"So am I," her whispering voice was so sexy that it made him smile naughty and he started kissing her passionately. "Andy," they parted for a few seconds. "I am hungry,"
"I just put you to bed,"
"I don't want to sleep, daddy!"
Andy sighed, "please Sharon. Don't say daddy with that tone. You turn me on," Sharon snort-laughed. "And it's gone. Okay, let's go make lunch and getting you something to eat. This parenting thing is stressful!" He grabbed his shirt from the bed and wore it again; Sharon clasped her fingers with his.
She had a look around, she didn't even know what she was looking for, but she was scared. And at the same time she felt protected by him, and he always managed to calm her down and make her laugh. "Single parenting, but what do I know about it?" She joked with him and they walked out the room.
When they arrived to the kitchen, Sharon sat down at the table as per Andy's orders and she waited for him to make her a sandwich. She put her chin on her hand and heard him saying all the ingridients he was using for it, "the bread, where is it. Ah found! Salad, a tomato sliced fine," he sliced the tomato and put it on the leaf of salad, "and then the turkey," he closed the sandwich and brought it to her served on a plate with a napkin under it. "Voilà, you are served," Sharon smiled and thanked him and started eating. She had been so hungry that she devoured it all in a few minutes, "I was so hungry." She said to Andy when she returned the empty plate to him.
"I see, you want more?" He walked back behind the counters.
"No thank you, I wouldn't want to exaggerate. What are you cooking? Can I help you?"
"Of course, if you feel like you could squeeze these lemons for me please," he placed on the counter a lemon squeezer. "And then, you could please squeeze the tuna and put it in this bowl, where we will mix it with the mayo and then add the lemon juice,"
Sharon followed all his instructions by the book, and soon she had prepared a tuna mousse, good to go with a second course. "Andy why are you cooking all these things?" Sharon turned around the counter and saw all he was cooking.
"We have guests coming over for lunch,"
"What? Guests, Andy are you crazy? You shouldn't even be here, it's totally inappropriate and-"
"It's Chief Johson and her husband,"
"Oh, them!" She breathed, "I thought you went all crazy and decided to tell everyone we are dating,"
"Ah! So we are dating?" He asked.
"Why do you ask? We even did, you know…" Andy started laughing. Looking at Sharon trying to explain the word sex was probably the funniest thing he had ever seen in his life.
"Showered together?" He asked teasing.
"Andy, you know."
"Oh you mean when we sat down the floor and you snuggled into my hug?" It was rather amusing to him.
"You will not give me a break, will you?" Sharon had folded her arms and was looking at him with an annoyed look. Andy nodded and then grinned. "Fine! We did even sleep together, happy now?"
Andy nodded again satisfied, "very! Of course not as much as I am when I make love to you, though." He leaned and kissed her.
He moved to the stoves and started to add all the ingredients for his sauce. After he added the onion and the carrotts he had previously chopped, Sharon hugged him from behind and Andy stroke her arm with his hand, while with the other he was busy stirring the sauce. "Do you think Agent Howard can help us?"
"He's the FBI, and weren't you the one to love him?" He remained seriously focused on what he was doing, but Sharon felt a little note of sarcasm and jealousy in his tone.
"I never said I loved him, I said I like him. He's charming and a nice man to work with, and-" suddenly she heard a noise. She approached him whispering, "did you hear that?" Andy nodded. "What was it?"
Sharon was hiding behind him, she didn't even realized she had moved to his side, "I'm trying to prove a theory."
Andy remained still, doing his thing very calmly, while Sharon was shaking next to him. She didn't have her gun with her or any kind of weapon, she only had Andy standing in front of her for protection. "Everything will be fine, don't worry!" He was still calm but whispering. "Could you pass me the salt?"
Sharon looked at him with a questioning and astonished look. In all this madness, he was cooking. She passed him the salt as he had asked and then they heard a soft noise from the entrance door. Andy cleaned his hands and walked to the library. Sharon followed him looking around.
Andy walked closer to her with his phone in his hands, "Here." He showed her a video, "they always make a mistake."
When he had called Agent Howard on the phone, he had told him they needed a proof to their theory, and when Sharon had stood up and put the frame back on the library, Andy had got the idea to place his phone recording the entrance door. There was no other way they could have entered if not the entrance door, and because he and Sharon had been in the hallway for the whole time, they had to be hiding in the guest room.
"I will send this to Tao and he may be able to work some of his magic with the computer," Andy had got their intruder recorded on camera.
