A/N: Here is the last chapter of the story. Their evening...

Chapter 3

Sharon was taking a quick shower so she didn't hear the commotion of Matthew running up the stairs. Matthew closed the door to his room before Andy could enter. "Matthew, you will not close the door on me" Andy said to him through the door. Andy then opened the door, grateful Matthew didn't lock it and walked inside. Matthew was playing with his Lego set. Andy had a seat on the corner of Matthew's bed. "What seems to be the problem here?" Andy asked Matthew as he was playing. "I really wanted to play with the pitching machine tonight with you" Matthew said quietly to Andy. Andy looked down at the floor and then back at Matthew. "I'm sorry we are not able to do that tonight, Matthew" Andy said to Matthew just as Sharon walked in to Matthew's room dressed in her new red, lace Vera Wang long dress.

As Andy turned to watch Sharon enter, she took his breath away. "You look beautiful" Matthew said as he looked up to see Sharon entering his room. Andy was still speechless. "Thank you Matthew" Sharon said as she walked over to Andy and brushed her hand against his cheek. "You okay?" she asked Andy. "Fine" he whispered to her. "You're absolutely beautiful Sharon" he finally said to her. She smiled at him. "Is that new?" he asked her as he stood up from Matthew's bed. "I may have bought it when I went shopping with Gavin last week" Sharon said to Andy as he rubbed her arm. She had a black shawl with her and red heels to compliment the dress. "Why don't you go get ready" she said to Andy as Matthew started to destroy part of his Lego building. "Anything I should know about?" Sharon asked Andy as he walked out of the room. "He wanted to play with the pitching machine tonight, but I told him that we wouldn't have time before we left to use it and that we could play with it tomorrow" Andy said to Sharon out in the hallway. "I see he didn't take to that very well" Sharon said to Andy. "Go get dressed" she said as she patted his chest before turning around to face Matthew.

Andy walked in to their room and quickly found what he was going to wear and then headed to the bathroom to change. He jumped in the shower to quickly took a shower in two minutes. He was out, drying himself off as he looked at himself in the mirror. He thought about a quick shave but he didn't want to end up rushing. He then got dressed in his black suit, and red tie. He decided to wear a vest tonight instead of suspenders. He then wore his bracelet Sharon had got him at Christmas. He looked at himself in the mirror to make sure everything looked good.

Meanwhile, back in Matthew's room, Sharon was trying to explain to Matthew why they were leaving him tonight. "But you just adopted me and now you two are leaving to go out?" Matthew said to Sharon. "Oh, sweetie, we're not leaving you by yourself. Rusty and Gus should be over soon and then you're going to hang out with them tonight, while Daddy and I go out" Sharon explained to Matthew. "But I wanted to play with the pitching machine tonight" Matthew said to her, pouting. "Matthew, tonight is special between me and Daddy. He has been planning this for weeks, and after everything we've been through, I think it's fair to give Daddy alone time with me and then tomorrow you and he can spend time with the pitching machine" Sharon tried reasoning with Matthew. "Okay" he huffed. "I don't want to interrupt your date" Matthew said to Sharon. "What do you know about dates?" Sharon asked Matthew. "Just that today cupid goes around and makes people kiss each other. Are you two going to kiss each other?" Matthew asked her. She thought about it and smiled. "Well, yes I do hope so" Sharon said to him.

"Can you change out of your nice clothes?" Sharon asked Matthew. Matthew grabbed some sweatpants and a t-shirt and then ran to his bathroom and quickly changed his clothes. He came back in his room wearing sweatpants, a t-shirt, and his new Dodgers jersey. Sharon smiled as he entered his room. Matthew went back to playing with his Lego set and Sharon exited his room. She walked back in to their room and found Andy looking at the mirror in the bathroom. She walked over to him and placed her arms inside his suit jacket, her hands going underneath his vest to rub his back. "This is one of my favorite suits" she said to him as she stole a kiss. "Hmm, I'll have to remember that" Andy said to her as he rubbed his hands up her back. She looked at him and smiled. "You're going with the stubble look tonight?" Sharon said as she touched his face. He leaned down to kiss her. "I thought you like the stubble look?" Andy said. "I do" Sharon answered him and smiled.

"Is everything all set with Matthew" Andy asked as he made his way out to their room. "I explained a few things to him and I think he understood" Sharon said. "Good" Andy said as he glanced at his watch. "Oh, before I forget, I have a something for you" Sharon said as she went back in the bedroom and pulled out a small box. "What's this?" Andy said. "You didn't have to get me anything, Sharon" Andy said to her as she handed the box to him. He opened the box and two silver and black cufflinks were inside. He pulled them out and looked at them. They had his initials on them and then on the inside had today's date. "I wanted to get you something special for today" Sharon said as she took them from his hand and put them on his shirt cuffs. Andy then pulled her in for a kiss.

"Ready, my lady" Andy asked her as he held out his arm to her. She smiled and took his arm as they walked out of their room. Matthew came out of his room as they entered the hallway and went up to Andy. "Sorry about earlier" Matthew said to Andy. Andy placed his hand around Matthew's shoulder. "Don't worry about it, Matthew" Andy said as all three of them headed downstairs.

They waited for Rusty and Gus to show up and explained to them what the rules were. "Don't worry, it's not like this is the first time we ever watched Matthew for you" Rusty said to Sharon and Andy as they stood in the kitchen. "Have a good time, Sharon, Andy" Gus stated to them and waved. "Good bye Matthew, please be good tonight" Sharon said to Matthew as she kissed him on his cheek. "I will" Matthew said to her. Andy and Sharon then walked out of the house and got in their car, driving away to their destination for the evening.

"Okay, what kind of pizza should we order?" Gus asked Rusty and Matthew. "I like cheese only" Matthew said to them as he sat on one of the stools by the island. "Okay" Gus said as he looked over the pizza menu. "What are we going to do tonight?" Matthew asked them. "We could watch a movie after the pizza comes" Rusty said to Matthew. "Can we watch Batman cartoon movie?" Matthew asked him. "Uh, sure Matthew" Rusty said to him as Gus ordered the pizza.

"So where are we going tonight?" Sharon asked Andy as he was driving. "Well, I can only say we've been there before for another special occasion" Andy said to Sharon as he turned onto Griffith Park Boulevard. "Are we having dinner at this secret place?" Sharon asked him as he was turning left onto Los Feliz Boulevard. "Dinner is included at the place we are going to" Andy said to her. "Hmm" Sharon said as she looked out her window, trying to figure out where Andy was taking her tonight. Andy then turned the car down the road to Griffith Observatory and Sharon knew instantly where he was taking her. "Andy, we're going here?" Sharon said to him. The last time they were there was for their wedding. Andy wanted to surprise Sharon and he guess he did a good job because Sharon wiped a tear from her eye as they drove through the park, up towards the observatory parking lot.

Andy parked the car once they reached the top and got out of the car. He grabbed the bag he placed in the back seat and then he walked over to Sharon's door and opened it for her. "Your evening under the stars awaits you" he said to her as he pulled her close to him. She smiled at him as they walked towards the entrance to the observatory grounds. Andy and Sharon walked up to the café that was located at the observatory and Andy gave the hostess his name. "Right this way, Mr. and Mrs. Flynn" the hostess said as she showed them their table. Sharon and Andy sat down at their table. "Andy this is absolutely wonderful" Sharon said to him. "I'm glad you like this" Andy said back to her. The waiter came by to take their food order and Sharon and Andy enjoyed the view from their table.

The pizza was delivered and Rusty, Gus, and Matthew all sat in the family room, enjoying the pizza while watching the Batman movie. A quick compromise they made with Matthew when the pizza arrived. Moxie was sitting by Matthew, watching him eat a piece of pizza, hoping he would drop something but he didn't. Once they were full, Gus moved the pizza to the kitchen and put it away in the refrigerator. He then went back in to the family room. "What did I miss?" Gus asked Matthew as he sat back down on the couch. "The Joker just showed up to face Batman" Matthew said to Gus as he continued watching the TV.

Sharon glanced at her phone in her purse. There were no messages from Rusty or Gus, which was good. At least Matthew wasn't giving them problems she hoped. She placed her phone back in her purse when Andy came back to their table. "Everything okay?" he asked her as he sat back down. "No messages so I'm hoping things are okay" Sharon said to Andy as he took her hand and brought it up to his lips, kissing her fingers. "Relax Sharon" he said to her. Just then a band started playing jazz music as night began to fall on the observatory. "May I have this dance?" Andy asked Sharon as he stood up and held out his hand. She placed her hand in his and stood up. Andy led her to the makeshift dance floor that was there and joined the other couples who were dancing as well. Andy held Sharon close to him. "Are you cold?" he asked her as he felt a shiver go down her body. "No" she said looking back into his eyes. They continued to dance as the music played. An hour later, when the music stopped, Andy led Sharon back to their table and paid the bill.

Andy then walked with Sharon over to the lawn in front of the observatory where a couple of months earlier, they had gotten married. Sharon glanced at Andy as they stopped and he held her hands in his. He pulled her in for a kiss. "This is where we stood at our wedding" he whispered to her as he held her in his arms. "If you were to tell me everything that has happened in our lives now before we had gotten married, I would have thought you were making things up" Andy said to her as she listened and watched him. "But, I wouldn't change anything that happened to us. Except for maybe the part of me getting beat up a couple of weeks ago" Andy said to her and then gave out a little laugh. Sharon did the same and then cupped his face with her hands. "I love you so much Andrew Michael Flynn" she said to him as she kissed him. He kissed her back. "I love you too, Sharon O'Dwyer Raydor Flynn" he said to her as he wiped the tear that fell from her eye.

He continued to hold her as they looked out over the city and then once it was dark enough, they looked up at the stars. It was a clear night for LA and the stars came out over the sky. Andy helped Sharon place the shawl around her and then Andy reached in the bag he had brought with and pulled out a blanket. He laid the blanket on the ground and Sharon sat down on it, as elegantly as possible wearing her dress. Andy sat behind her and held her close to him. They sat there gazing up at the stars.

It was getting late, so Andy stood up and helped Sharon stand up from the ground. He picked up the blanket and placed it back inside the bag. Sharon waited for him and then grabbed his hand as the two of them walked back to their car. Sharon looped her arm through Andy's. "I had an amazing night tonight" Sharon said to Andy as they approached their car. "I'm glad you did. It's been my pleasure" Andy said to her as he kissed her up against the car. Sharon ran her hand up to Andy's hair and held his head as she deepened their kiss. Once they broke apart, Andy held the door open for Sharon to get inside and then closed the door. He headed over to the driver's side and got himself situated behind the steering wheel. He took a moment to regain his composure before he started the car. Sharon smiled at him when he glanced over at her. "You know that dress has been driving me wild all night long" he said to her as he started the car. Sharon placed her hand on his cheek and gently caressed it and the stubble from him not shaving earlier. He let out a shuttered breath. Andy then drove them back home.

When they arrived back home, Andy pulled the car into the garage and turned it off. He then got out and went around to hold Sharon's door open for her. She stepped out and Andy immediately pushed Sharon into the car door and kissed her lips, slowly making his way down to her collar bone. "Andy" Sharon whispered to him. "Hmm" Andy said in reply. "Let's go inside before we get carried away in here" she said to him and then he pulled back and led her towards the house. He quickly opened the back door and Sharon walked inside with him following her. They stepped in to the kitchen and saw the light over the sink was on. They made their way through the house and saw Rusty and Gus in the family room watching some movie. Matthew was passed out on the other side of the couch. "Hello" Sharon said to Rusty and Gus. "Hi, how was your evening?" Rusty asked Sharon as he turned the TV off. "Wonderful" she said and then glanced at Matthew sleeping on the couch. "Did he give you any problems?" she asked. "Oh, no he was good the whole night" Rusty answered and Gus agreed with him. Andy walked in behind Sharon and saw Matthew was sleeping. "I'll take him upstairs, while you lock up after Rusty and Gus leave" Andy said to Sharon as he woke up Matthew. Matthew mumbled something about Batman and Andy chuckled as he walked with a sleepy Matthew and they headed upstairs.

Rusty and Gus left and Sharon locked up the house, making her way up the stairs to meet Andy. Andy was in Matthew's room, after he removed his suit jacket that he left in their bedroom, tucking in Matthew. Moxie jumped on his bed and settled in for the night. "Good night Matthew" Andy said to him as Matthew closed his eyes and fell asleep. As he closed the door, he met Sharon in the hallway upstairs. She had taken her heals off and was now holding them in her one hand. He grinned at her as she came to stand in front of him, grabbing a hold of his tie with her other hand and pulling him down for a kiss. He then led her in to their bedroom, closing the door behind them. This was going to be one of the best Valentine's Day the both of them ever had.

The End
