A/N: Don't own Major Crimes or its characters. Just playing in the sandbox for a bit.
Andy had known the tears were coming.
He just didn't know when and how it would happen.
Sharon was quiet the whole drive home.
Wouldn't even let him hold her hand as he drove.
She obviously didn't wanna be touched right now and Andy did his best not to take it personally.
Mostly because he knew it wasn't personal at all.
They'd had a tough case involving a child and he knew that those were always tough on her.
Hell, they were rough on him and the rest of the squad too.
It never got easier investigating the death of a child and especially not when it was at the hands of his abusive parents, if you could call them that.
It wasn't until they were safely inside their house in Echo Park that the tears came.
Andy took Sharon in his arms and carried her to the couch.
Not because she couldn't walk there herself, but because he knew having her in his arms would provide her some measure of comfort.
Once he settled them on the couch, he kept Sharon in his lap as he held her as she cried for a while longer.
Once she finally regained a bit of composure, Sharon said, "What kind of monster does that to their own child?"
"That's it though. They're monsters. People like that shouldn't be allowed to reproduce," Andy told her.
"I know. I'm just trying to wrap my head around it all," said Sharon.
"I don't think there's any way of wrapping your head around something like this. Just processing your way through it," said Andy.
"Agreed," replied Sharon as she turned into Andy's shoulder and cried again.
For the boy.
For the monsters who'd locked him in a cage and deprived him of basic necessities like food and water and God knows what else.
Sharon couldn't imagine the kind of person who'd do that to their own child.
Or any child for that matter.
Finally, after about twenty more minutes of crying, Sharon felt spent emotionally.
"Show me something beautiful," Sharon mumbled into Andy's ear.
For a minute, Andy was thrown and at a loss as to what to do.
Then, he got an idea.
He picked Sharon up and carried her to their bedroom before setting her on the bed.
Sharon could tell where this was going and she was pleased by it and smiled coyly at Andy.
"Are you sure this is okay?" asked Andy.
"Yes. Make love to me Andy," Sharon told him as she laughed at her own phrasing and pulled him closer by his suspenders.
"Alright," said Andy with a chuckle as he leaned his forehead against hers.
Sharon was first to lean in for a kiss and Andy obliged as she leaned back on the bed and pulled his suspenders, encouraging him to get on top of her.
Once on top of Sharon, Andy began unbuttoning Sharon's blouse ever so slowly.
"Let's get moving, mister," Sharon encouraged him to move things along a little quicker.
"Okay," replied Andy as he finished unbuttoning her blouse and pushed it off her shoulders.
Sharon sat up a little bit and slid the blouse the rest of the way down her arms and threw it next to the bed.
Sharon quickly unbuttoned Andy's dress shirt and took off his tie.
Andy shed the shirt as he continued straddling Sharon.
Sharon's hands snuck up underneath Andy's white undershirt as he did the same with her white camisole.
Before either could blink, their undershirts were removed by each other and thrown clumsily onto the floor.
"Turn on your side so I can unzip your skirt," Andy told her.
Sharon did as directed and Andy made quick work of unzipping it as she turned back over and canted her hips slightly upward in order to take it off.
"Seriously, Sharon? You couldn't figure out any other way to do that?" asked Andy seriously because the friction Sharon had created was killing him.
"Nope," smiled Sharon coyly as she ran her hands up Andy's chest to get to his head so she could pull him in for a kiss.
They laid there kissing for a few minutes before Sharon said, "Now, moving on."
Andy took the hint and quickly unclasped the back of her black lacy bra, pulling it off and discarding it on the floor.
He then slid his hands down her torso until he got to her matching black panties and hooked his thumbs in between the fabric and her hips and slid them down her legs before climbing back on top of her again.
Sharon then fumbled with his belt and the button on his dress pants until she finally got them undone before unzipping his pants and together they took them off and quickly abandoned them on the floor.
Next, she hooked her thumbs in the front of his boxers and gently slid them down his body, making sure to graze his penis along the way.
"Jesus, Sharon," commented Andy.
"You like that?" asked Sharon teasingly.
"You just about made me cum right there," Andy told her.
"Good. We both deserve to enjoy this," said Sharon as she encouraged him upward so they could kiss while making love.
They continued making out for a few minutes before Sharon grabbed hold of his penis and gently squeezed it as she whispered, "I want you inside me, Andy."
"Alright. Hold on," said Andy as he guided his penis towards her entrance.
Once inside, he pushed forward slowly at first, not sure which pace Sharon preferred this time around.
"I want it hard and fast," Sharon whispered in his ear before nibbling on it a bit.
"Your wish is my command," Andy whispered back to her before kissing her and increasing his thrusting speed.
"Yes, Andy!" bellowed Sharon to her husband.
Andy thrusted a little more before Sharon said, "Deeper! I need to feel something."
Andy thrusted harder and deeper, nearly hitting Sharon's g-spot.
"Almost there," Sharon communicated loudly.
Andy did one final thrust as deep as he could go without hurting Sharon and that did the trick as Sharon yelled, "Oh god, Andy! Yes! Yes!"
Soon enough, Sharon came and the pressure she was putting on his penis inside her made him come soon after too.
As Andy laid on top of Sharon, both completely exhausted from their exertion, Andy whispered in Sharon's ear, "I love you."
"Love you too," mumbled Sharon into Andy's shoulder as she began to cry again.
"Hey. What's with the tears? I didn't hurt you, did I?" asked Andy as he pulled out of her.
"No, nothing like that, Andy. They're happy and sad tears at the same time," explained Sharon as she swiped at a few of the tears.
"Why happy and sad?" asked Andy as he climbed off Sharon and pulled her into his arms so she could lay on his chest.
"Happy because I have so much love in my life and sad because that little boy never had the unconditional love he deserved," Sharon told Andy honestly.
"Makes you grateful, doesn't it?" Andy guessed.
"Yeah," replied Sharon.
"You gonna be okay?" asked Andy.
"Yeah. I'm much better, now," said Sharon as she placed a kiss against Andy's chest over his heart.
