The Phone Call….

Chapter 2

A/N- Thanks for the reviews! I love you all!

Sharona quietly put the phone down and wiped the final tears away from her face.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"Mom, what's wrong?" Benjy asked approaching her.

"Nothing…It's…. Nothing," Sharona sighed letting her head fall into her hands.

"You miss Mr. Monk don't you?"

"Well…. yea Benjy, I've worked with him for four years," She snapped.

"Sorry…. sorry, didn't mean to get you mad."

"No, I'm sorry, it's just…I'm a little homesick."

"Then why don't we go back?" Benjy said sitting next to her on the couch.

"We can't just leave, things are going great with you and your dad…."

"But things aren't going great with you and dad."

"You need your father," She said in her heavy New Jersey accent.

"I've gone twelve years without him," him griped.

"Benjy…. you wanna go back too?"

He sighed and looked down and his feet, "Things aren't that great….I kinda liked it better when it was just you and me."

Sharona looked at her son and wrapped a caring arm around him, "Benjy, I understand…but your father will be devastated…"

"Please mom, Mr. Monk needs you."

"No he doesn't…. he has Natalie."

"Trust me mom, Mr. Monk needs you." Benjy said getting up, "I'll let you think about it."

Benjy walked away and Sharona turned her head to the picture frame next to her, holding a picture of her Benjy and Monk together. It seemed perfect.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Monk put down the phone and sat quietly for a moment.

"So that was Sharona," Natalie said taking a sip of her water.

"Yes, that was Sharona."

"She seems…great."

"She is great," Monk said turning the page to the book he was reading.

"Do you miss her a lot?" Natalie asked observing Monk's expression.

"All the time…she was one of my best friends."

"Why'd she leave?"

"She got re-married to her ex-husband. He's a real jerk…. Sharona can be gullible sometimes." Monk said disgusted.

"Oh," Natalie responded not knowing what to say.

"But Sharona's in the past now…. we've got a case to solve…" Monk said trailing off. He turned his gaze to a picture of Sharona and Benjy in the park. He missed her so much.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
