"It was finally that summer," Sharon admitted, "when I felt a cloud had been lifted, and I could move on. Of course, Andy was there, waiting," she smiled at him. He winked.

"Well, I would have been a jerk to wait that long and rush you. Plus, I liked you a lot too," he grinned. The team groaned.

"Tell us something we don't know, Flynn!" Provenza stammered, "Let's not even discuss the Dodger game that year. It's a wonder you were even trying to convince us anymore you weren't dating. Captain, you were awfully flirty during that whole case, and yes, it was a case. What started as a great idea-the team going to the Dodger game courtesy of Nicole's tickets-turned into an overly irritating case with an over-eating, emotional bride and her nutty family!"

"I still can't eat sub sandwiches without thinking of her stuffing her face," Buzz grimaced. He turned to Sharon's parents, "We had to bring in a bride who hadn't eaten in days to fit into her wedding dress, and she managed to binge eat her weight in food sitting in our interrogation room. It was awful."

"I can't believe she managed to get married that night," Mike added. "She was a mess."

"Yes, and so was the captain," Provenza said, drawing the conversation back to her, "Captain, you couldn't keep your hands off him, a point we just discussed. You and your hands on his ties and all," he sighed.

She shrugged, "I like him in uniform."

"Yeah, and anything else," Julio added.

"I won't even say what I'm thinking," Rusty groaned, "but it's not even right that I have to see both of them daily at the breakfast table," he grimaced.

"It's called being a family," Andy added. "I know, a foreign concept to you. What? Do you expect everyone but you to come to breakfast in your pajamas? We all live there. I've already discussed this," he grinned. "Maybe we'll add family movie night in our pj's," he smiled. "We already do plenty of family nights-maybe just now we all get comfy in our pj's'."

Sharon chuckled, covering her mouth, and Rusty's irritated face grew into a horrified look "Please don't. Christmas was enough."

"Ahh, Rusty, you're just lucky enough to get great parents," Julio grinned. "Never knew what you were stepping into when we first hauled you in here all those years ago."

"Tell me about," Rusty said with a playful irritation.

"Well, we can agree the Captain can't keep her hands off Idiot #1 here at work," Provenza pointed out. "Then, we finish that case, get everyone to the stupid wedding, where of course, she and Flynn happen to volunteer to stay on the dance floor surveying the place."

"What?" Andy said. "We were all there. We did need someone on the dance floor near the dad. The agreement was he could do his dance and then leave. As that dance was opened up to everyone, it seemed natural Sharon and I would be the ones dancing. What? Provenza, I didn't think you'd want to take Amy for a spin on the dance floor," he grinned, as the team grinned too. "I guess I didn't think about you wanting to dance with Sharon," he smiled, putting his finger to his lip. Provenza scowled at him.

"If that wasn't enough, we all go back to the condo to WATCH the game we were supposed to attend, one of the best games in history. Idiot #1 and Idiot #2 should have just pretended we weren't there," he groaned.

"Hey, I suggested to Sharon we turn on the game in her bedroom and watch it there, but," he shrugged, "she likes playing hostess." Sharon swatted at him to stop.

"Well, it seemed like the only thing we watched was Idiot #1 fawning over Idiot #2," he rolled his eyes. "I never could figure out why you didn't just come sit down, Flynn. You think we didn't notice you behind her head mumbling things in her ear?"

"You know," Sue cut in, "Andy's done that at the condo in Park City a few times. He likes to get up right behind Sharon as she is sitting anywhere and talk to her. That's something he likes to do."

"Believe me, he does it at home all the time" Rusty added, "which is why I don't need family movie nights!"

"Hey, I was helping her out. If I was there, she didn't have to keep getting up for food and all. Plus, if you remember, I did sit and talk with you for awhile, Rusty. I can't help if I was trying to keep the chatter to a minimum and just talk to her by whispering," he grinned.

"Well, that certainly continued on the rooftop," Provenza scoffed.

"All kinds of fireworks that night," Julio grinned, "and not just from the game."

The team laughed, Sharon turned red, Rusty groaned, and Andy covered his face, as he said, "I told you-if you didn't want to see it, you could have left. It was her condo. I can't help it if I'm irresistible," he grinned. "It was dark outside, and I did pull her away from the group. You guys just can't mind your own business."

"Ma'am," Julio said turning to Sue, "We, ahh, caught an intimate moment on the roof that night," he grinned. "Fireworks galore, and we understand why the captain likes holidays."

"All of that was why I completely ignored you a few days later when you started all this nonsense about officially asking the captain out. Old news. You two had been dating forever in our eyes, even longer, we now realize."

"What prompted you to make it official then," Amy asked. "We've all tried to figure that out."

Andy and Sharon shrugged as they looked at each other, and Sharon said, "It felt like the right time. Plus, I knew it needed to be reported to Taylor before we moved forward."

"Oh, too much information, Sharon!" Rusty groaned. "Really? Let's not go there. We've had plenty of chats at home."

The team, Sharon's parents, and Sharon and Andy all chuckled at Rusty's embarrassment.

"So, the date-Flynn was like a kid waiting for Christmas around here that day. He kept trying to just blurt it out to her, and I kept trying to talk him off the cliff, so to speak. I knew he was going to do it, but after years of this, I didn't want him blurting it out in the middle of the Murder Room or something. For once, he needed to do it right," Provenza stated.

"He did ask me in the middle of the Murder Room," Sharon smiled, speaking up. The team perked up.

"Ma'am, we never did hear how that happened. What do you mean he asked you here?" Julio grinned.

Andy sighed, as Sharon shrugged at him, "He waited, like he always does, for everyone to go home. That wasn't unusual; you all know he always waited to walk me out, no matter how long that was. Well, I guess a few people were here, but no one was in the Murder Room. Andrea was still doing her paperwork. Anyway, I walked out of my office, and Andy jumped up, right here," she pointed to where they were sitting, grinning, "right here, in fact, and he gave me some paperwork. Then, he starts talking about dinner, which was also a normal thing. As you all know, we went to dinner a lot. Then, he says the word that threw me-romantic," she grinned at him, and squeezed his arm, "That's when I knew. Threw me for a bit of a loop, and I realized then he'd been trying to ask me. We'd been interrupted on several occasions, by several people," he said glancing to Rusty.

"You should probably thank me, Sharon, or he would have just blurted it out there in electronics," Rusty grinned.

"So, what did you hear after all this, Lieutenant?" Sue asked.

"Nothing!" Provenza said irritated. "Even Rusty wouldn't give me any details, and Flynn started calling her Captain again, something he hadn't done for years. I thought she had kicked him to the curb because she was just as bad, calling him Lieutenant. Little did I know that was all a ploy."

"Yeah, well, they threw me for a loop too," Rusty grimaced. "I won't even discuss the conversation Sharon and I had at home," he made a gagging face.

Andy turned to him, "Maybe we need to talk about you and Gus in all this," Andy grinned, and Rusty's eyes grew wide. "Yeah, that's what I thought," he nodded.

"I think we need to stop there," Sharon clarified. "Anything else is since we've been dating, and I don't want to mix work and home," she stated.

All eyes stared back at her before they all started to laugh, "Captain, as much as you don't want to mix things, I think your home and work life have mixed more than anything. First, with Rusty, and now with the lieutenant. Sadly, whether you like it or not, home and work are here," she grinned.

Sharon groaned and shrugged, "All the more reason to stop talking, and it is getting really late," she nodded to Andy. "Mom, Dad, we can get you home, and maybe at this point, we can just order in?" she suggested.

"I'm good with anything," Bob added. "This has been wonderful. I see why your team just adores you, Shar Bear," he grinned.

"You have no idea how great it has been to meet you, Sir, Ma'am," Julio grinned. "Best part of the whole month."

"Buzz!" Provenza called him over, "Show me how to add Idiot #2's parents here on The Facebook," Provenza said as he shoved his computer toward Buzz. The team chuckled at that.

"Lieutenant, you have several friend requests too, mostly from the team," he grinned.

Provenza grunted and waved off Buzz, "Go ahead, add them. I can delete them later, right?"

Buzz nodded, "You can, but you usually don't announce that in front of the people you want to delete."

"Mom, Dad, let me get my stuff, and we can all head out," Sharon said standing. "I'll be right back," she nodded to Andy, and he smiled at her and stood putting the chairs back. Everyone stood.

"Let me show you electronics and all while you are right here," Andy ushered them into the room. "Sharon will be a minute. She has to shut down and pack up her computer."

Andy walked Sharon's parents around, while the team packed up. He'd already done so, and Sharon was doing the same. He returned with them, as the team was talking quietly to each other, laughing about their newly learned information.

"I still can't believe it, Flynn," Provenza grumbled when he returned, "Seven years? I am slipping!" he said, visibly irritated. Andy chuckled.

"Well, Lieutenant, maybe you'll have to come to Park City someday," Sue smiled. "You and your wife are always welcome. After meeting you, we'll have to meet her too."

Andy turned to Sue, "Patrice keeps this old duffer in line," he winked. "We all love Patrice."

"What was that, Lieutenant?" Sharon said, closing up her office, as she moved back toward the group with her computer and purse, "I heard what Andy said about Patrice, but what was that you said about slipping? She didn't slip and fall, did she?"

"Oh no, Captain," Provenza shook his head, "Patrice is fine, and she won't believe this story when I tell her. No, I was just telling Flynn here- Idiot #1, that I'm really slipping if I didn't pick up on this the past seven years. We've got the last few years covered, but no clue about Park City."

Sue smiled, "Anytime you want to chat, Lieutenant, you can chat with us on Facebook."

Sharon laughed, covering her mouth, and Provenza's expression changed to total shock, "What is that?" he pointed, causing the whole team to stop in their tracks and turn around.

Andy followed Provenza's gaze, and he turned back to Provenza, patting him on the back, "Easy. You're still slipping-probably should retire. Sharon and I got engaged a couple weeks ago," he grinned.
