The Phone Call….

A/N- Real quick, thanks for your help guys, I wanted to have some other opinions even though I already know where the story's going, sorry I ruined your fun anonomus reviewer, Plant Pot Stand, Okay on with the story! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Sharona took a seat in her kitchen as she heard her husband come in the room. He put his bag down and planted a the table quick kiss on the cheek.

"Hey babe, how are you?" he asked swinging open the refrigerator doors and looking around.

"We left you some dinner, it's this new chicken thing that took me an hour to make."

He looked at her and smiled, "Sharona, honey…. you know I love when you cook, but I think I'll just have a sandwich. I don't like that fancy stuff."

Sharona was hurt by his comment, but was use to him putting her down all the time.

"So I was driving home from work, and I saw a billboard for Hawaiian airlines and I was thinking…. now's the perfect time to take a family vacation, I mean since we're a family and all…." He trailed off, stuffing pieces of his sandwich into his mouth.

"Nah…. now's not a good time…I'm…busy with work…Benjy's busy with school."

"Sharona…c'mon now's a perfect time," he said with an attitude.

"Trevor, it's not the time." She snapped at him.

" Sorry…don't be such a bitch about it Sharona."

She got up and stopped herself from slapping him right then and there, partly because she knew if she did she would regret it later and partly because Benjy had just walked in.

Sharona shot an evil glare at Trevor as he turned his attention to Benjy.

"Is everything okay in here?" Benjy asked grabbing a soda.

"Benjy…go upstairs in your room and start packing we're going to Hawaii," Trevor said.

"No were not," Sharona cut in, "We're going back home."

Benjy look curiously at both of them.

Trevor rolled his eyes and told Benjy to go upstairs.

"Are you serious Sharona? You're going to threaten to leave over a fricken vacation?"

He got up and followed her out of the room.

"It's not just the vacation it's you and how you treat me and how you treat Benjy! And I'm not threatening, we're leaving! I'm tired. I'm tired of you and I'm tired of New Jersey and I'm just tired!" She shouted and walked into her room.

He followed her and placed a caring hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry." He said

"No you're not. You don't really even care." Sharona imposed, forcing his hand off of her.

He stood there and looked at her for a few moments, nodded his head and walked away.

"I'm done…I'm done with you Sharona! Benjy pack your stuff you're leaving," he yelled down the hallway.

Sharona shut her door and wiped the few tears of anger that had escaped from her eyes.

She grabbed her suitcase and started to pack.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"Ah…. Monk's here." Stottlemeyer said to Randy as he saw Monk approach with Natalie a few feet behind him.

"Hello Captain, Lieutenant." Monk said fixing his coat jacket.

"Monk, Natalie." Randy acknowledged smiling genuinely.

"So Monk, how have you been holding up?" Stottlemeyer asked gruffly.

"I'm…. fine, really fine."

"And Natalie?"

"I'm good," she replied sweetly.

"Good. We're really glad you're helping out here. And Monk's getting along great with you which is…unusual," Stottlemeyer said. He pulled Natalie off to the side, "And he's actually starting to get use to the idea that Sharona's not here anymore. I Just wanted to say thank you, we need him here and you really helped him…. us."

"Well Captain, I glad to hep," she said merrily.

"Okay, lets get to work." Randy said getting out a few files.

"Any new breaks in the case?" Natalie asked taking a seat at Stottlemeyer's desk.

"Nope, were hoping you guys might find something."

Randy looked around the room, not paying any attention to what they were talking about.

He stared at a picture of Monk, the captain, Sharona and him that was sitting on his desk.

"Hey Monk, heard from Sharona lately?" He interrupted.

Monk looked at him awkwardly and nodded.

"Yes, she called a few days ago."

"Wha'd she say?"

"Um…she's…. um busy and well, she's good." Monk said trying to avoid any more conversation, "But like I said before, Sharona's in the past."

Natalie stared at Randy, as he felt spotlighted.

"Oh…right sorry," He said and looked at some files nearby.

'In the past,' Monk repeated in his head.
