Chapter 2: Surprising Moments

It had now been almost a week since Andy and Sharon's first date. Today was Saturday and they hadn't caught a new case since they had wrapped up the previous one the night before. This meant that Sharon Raydor's plans for their second date didn't have to change. She had bought the tickets on Monday and was hoping that everything at work would work out and that she and Andy would be able to use them.

It seemed that luck was on their side because it was now Saturday afternoon and they hadn't caught another case yet. So, Sharon was currently getting ready for their date. She had decided to dress rather casual for this date as the dress code for where they were going didn't require people to dress fancy or anything like that. Sharon had chosen to simply wear dark jeans, a cream colored t-shirt, and blue flats for their date and had gone fairly simple with her makeup as well. She was currently in the process of putting the finishing touches on her wavy hair when she heard a ringing noise coming from the living room. Before she got a chance to go answer it though, the noise stopped, so she figured it was just a wrong number or something. She didn't know how much she would regret not checking out the source of the noise in just a minute.

Meanwhile, back in the living room, Rusty had found the source of the ringing noise and had answered Ricky and Emily's Skype call on Sharon's computer.

"Hey," Rusty said to his siblings.

"Hey little brother!" Ricky replied.

"Hey Rusty! Where's mom?" Emily asked.

"Well, I'm not 100% sure I'm supposed to tell you this, but she's getting ready for her date," Rusty replied to Emily's question.

"What are you talking about?" Emily asked at the same time that Ricky asked, "With who?"

"Well…she and Lieutenant Flynn have sort of been dating for about a week now," Rusty replied.

"Oh, this is good," Emily said.

"Lieutenant Flynn as in Andy Flynn?" Ricky asked just to clarify.

"Of course he's talking about Andy, Ricky! How many Lieutenant Flynn's do you know?" Emily asked.

"Hey! Don't yell at me! I was just trying to clarify that we were talking about the same person. Speaking of talking, why didn't you call us sooner and tell us this, little brother?" Ricky asked.

Suddenly, Sharon's voice could be heard as she was walking down the hallway towards the living room as she asked, "Rusty, who are you talking to?"

"Ooh little brother. You're in trouble!" said Ricky.

"And why would he be in trouble?" Sharon asked as she walked towards the living room and into view of the webcam.

"Rusty was just enlightening us about the fact that you have a hot date with a certain Lieutenant today," Emily replied.

At this moment, Sharon looked from the computer screen to Rusty and frowned at him before saying to him, "Out of the chair, now."

Rusty, knowing Sharon meant business, immediately got up out of the chair and went into the kitchen to grab something to eat.

Sharon sat down in the chair and turned her attention back to Ricky and Emily on the computer screen.

"Em, is mom blushing? Cause I think she's blushing," said Ricky.

"Oh yeah. She's totally blushing," Emily replied.

"Are you two done?" Sharon asked them.

"For now," Emily replied.

"So, this whole thing is pretty recent. Me and Andy dating. I was looking for the right time to tell the two of you and if I'd known that both of you would be Skyping me today, I would've told you myself, but apparently someone beat me to it," Sharon said as she looked towards the couch at Rusty, who was snacking on a bowl of watermelon.

"Seriously, Sharon. What was I supposed to tell them? They asked where you were and I told them the truth," Rusty replied.

"He has a point, mom," Ricky replied.

"Thank you," said Rusty from across the room.

"Yes, unfortunately he does," Sharon said as she only slightly glared at Rusty for a moment.

In all honesty, Sharon wasn't all that mad at Rusty for telling Ricky and Emily about her and Andy dating. In fact, it sort of made it easier to talk about it now that Rusty had done the tricky part. Now, she was just curious to know what they thought of the idea of her and Andy dating. Although, judging by their teasing attitude, she figured that they at least felt okay about the situation.

"Now, getting back to the subject, how much did your brother tell you?" Sharon asked them.

"Just that you were getting ready for your date and that you and Andy had been dating for about a week now," Emily replied.

"Sounds about right. So, how do you guys feel about all of this?" Sharon asked them.

"I think its great mom! You deserve to be happy," Emily replied.

"I'm totally cool with it! Andy's a great guy," said Ricky.

"Yeah, he is," Sharon replied as she looked down for a second and smiled to herself.

"Aww…look Ricky! Mom's totally smiling right now!" Emily exclaimed happily.

"Hey, where's Rusty," Ricky asked.

"Right here," Rusty said as he walked over to the computer and his face came into view on the screen.

"Hold on a second. Are you both really okay with this?" Sharon asked.

"Mom, stop worrying. I think it's fantastic that you're dating again! You deserve to be happy and all of us know that wasn't ever going to happen with dad," Emily replied.

"Yeah, mom. Relax. We're totally cool with it. Plus, when was the last time we saw mom smile like that, Emily?" Ricky asked.

"I don't think I remember ever seeing mom smile the way that she was smiling a little bit ago. She's must have it bad," said Emily teasingly.

"Well, now that I know that you both seem to be okay with this, I'm going to leave you two to talk with your brother while I get ready to go," Sharon told them as she got out of the chair to let Rusty sit down.

"Bye, mom," said Emily.

"Yeah. Bye, mom. Now, little brother, if I'm not mistaken, you won that little bet you made during Christmastime last year, didn't you?" Ricky asked.

"What bet?" Sharon asked as she turned around from where she had been getting ready to walk down the hall and turned to walk back over to the computer screen.

"Do I need to repeat myself?" Sharon asked them.

"No. Well, you see mom…last year around Christmastime, when you and Rusty went to the Nutcracker with Andy and his daughter, Nicole, Rusty and Nicole sort of made a bet about how long it would take you and Andy to get together," Ricky replied.

"Yeah. Rusty said around six months because he couldn't see you two "not dating" for much longer than that. That you two would eventually get it together and realize that you liked each other as more than friends. Nicole said a year just because she felt like her dad could be a bit bashful about this sort of thing, especially given the situation of you being her dad's boss," said Emily as she finished the story.

"Oh my god. Where have I gone wrong? I have the two of you teasing me incessantly about this whole dating thing and then I have Rusty over here spilling the beans and placing bets on my love life. I'm going to go get my bag and then I'm leaving," said Sharon.

"To go meet your hot date," Emily mumbled.

"In fact, yes. And I plan to enjoy every minute with said date," Sharon replied matter of factly to Emily's comment.

"Oh, mom. Gross! Why did you have to go there?" Ricky asked.

"Because all three of you deserved it for teasing me about Andy and I dating. Oh, and Rusty, do not say anything about winning that bet to Nicole yet. I'm not sure if Andy has talked to her about all of this," said Sharon

"Okay. I won't say anything. Just let me know when she knows so that I can finally gloat about how I was right and that she owes me twenty bucks," said Rusty.

"I'll be sure to let you know," Sharon said as she shook her head and began making her way back to her bedroom to grab her purse so that she could leave to go to Andy's house and pick him up for their date.

Meanwhile, Rusty, Ricky, and Emily ended their conversation shortly after that and Rusty promised to keep them informed if anything significant happened with their mother and Andy.

Meanwhile, it had now been about twenty minutes since Sharon had left her children to talk amongst themselves as she quickly grabbed her purse and left. She had just pulled up to Andy's house to pick him up. Sharon had told him to dress casual for their date today, but nothing else. She wanted it to be a complete surprise until she came over to pick him up on Saturday. So, as she got out of her car and began walking up towards Andy's house from the street, she grabbed her hat out of her purse and put it on. He had bought it for her when they had gone to a Dodger's game last September. Sharon knocked on Andy's front door and it only took a few seconds before he opened it.

When he saw her, or more specifically, what she was wearing on her head, he asked, "Are you serious? Are we really going to a Dodger game today?"

"Go grab your hat," Sharon replied as she smiled at him.

Before Sharon knew what was happening, Andy had grabbed her and spun her around on his front stoop before setting her back down and kissing her briefly before saying, "Have I ever told you that you're the best girlfriend ever?"

"No, but I could get used to hearing you call me your girlfriend, Sharon replied flirtatiously.

"Good because I plan on saying it a lot. Come in for a minute while I grab my hat. Then, we can go," Andy replied.

"Okay," Sharon replied as she stepped inside and into the living room before Andy disappeared to go grab his hat from his bedroom.

"So, I've got some things to talk to you about once we get in the car," Sharon told him.

"What?" Andy asked curiously as he reappeared in the living room with his Dodger hat on.

Sharon opened the front door and Andy closed and locked it behind him before they began making their way towards Sharon's car and she said," Just how I've apparently gone all wrong in raising my children," said Sharon jokingly as they arrived at her car and got in.

"I'm sure it's not that bad. They were raised by you after all," Andy told her as she started the car and began making her way towards the stadium.

It was then that Andy reached over and took her hand in his, much like they had on their previous date.

Sharon looked over at him for a second and smiled before saying, "Well, I guess it depends on your definition of bad. Anyways, suffice to say, Emily and Ricky now know that we're dating, thanks to Rusty. Not that that's a bad thing. I was just sort of hoping to tell them myself. Have you talked to Nicole and Brandon about us dating? " Sharon asked.

"Not yet. Nicole invited me over for dinner tomorrow night. Adam's grilling and Brandon's coming over. So, I was planning to pull them aside after dinner and talk to them about it then," Andy told her.

"Are you nervous about it?" Sharon asked.

"No. Nicole already likes you and when Brandon met you at the Nutcracker last year, he seemed okay with me bringing you and Rusty," Andy replied.

"Speaking of Nicole, Rusty, and the Nutcracker last year... I have something interesting to tell you about that," said Sharon.

"Am I right in being afraid to ask?" Andy asked her.

"Sort of. Though, I have to admit that in a way, I found the whole thing sort of amusing. Anyways, I found out today that when we all went to The Nutcracker last year, Rusty and Nicole made a bet," said Sharon.

"On what?" Andy asked confusedly.

"Well, apparently it was about how long it would take us to get together," Sharon said amusedly.

"Oh jeez! Is it bad if I ask who won?" Andy asked.

"No. Apparently, Rusty's prediction was closer than Nicole's. So, after you talk to Nicole and Brandon tomorrow, you might want to mention to her that she owes Rusty twenty bucks. I told him he wasn't allowed to talk to her about it yet because I wasn't sure if you had talked to her and Brandon about us yet," said Sharon.

"I might just have to do that. So, Rusty has a difficult time keeping a secret and is gambling about us with my daughter. What did Ricky and Emily do?" Andy asked.

"They were teasing me incessantly about you and I dating," Sharon replied.

"Well, I think that just comes with the territory in this situation. What were they teasing you about?" Andy asked.

"Apparently, I was blushing and smiling when I was talking to them about us," Sharon replied.

"Huh. Good to know. So, how did they react when you, or rather, Rusty told them?" Andy asked.

"They seemed to take it pretty well. Emily said that she was glad that I was dating again and that I deserved to be happy. Ricky said he was totally cool with it and that you're a great guy," Sharon said as she looked over at Andy for a second and smiled at him.

"So, I have the seal of approval from the Raydor children?" Andy asked her.

"Something like that," said Sharon as she chuckled at his choice of words.

About ten minutes later, they arrived at Dodger Stadium. After entering, they decided to try and beat the long concession lines and just get their food now. Andy, ever the gentleman, offered to pay for the food as Sharon had already paid for their tickets. Andy ended up getting a Veggie Dog, while Sharon ordered some nachos, and they each got frozen lemonade to drink as it was a warm July afternoon. After they got their food, they went to take their seats, which were located on the second deck behind home plate.

About fifteen minutes later, the game started. The Dodgers were playing the San Francisco Giants in tonight's game. Andy sat in his seat with his arm around Sharon's shoulders.

He had just finished his veggie dog and she was about to finish the last of her nachos, when he said, "Come here. You've got a little something there on the edge of your mouth."

It was then that, instead of wiping the cheese off her face with a napkin, that Andy decided to kiss the corner of her mouth instead. Once he kissed the corner of her mouth, she put her hand on his cheek and shifted his face slightly so that his lips were now over hers as she began to deepen the kiss slightly. It was then that they heard the people around them cheering. They broke the kiss because they thought that the Dodgers had scored, but much to their surprise, that wasn't the reason for the crowds cheering. Andy and Sharon turned their faces towards the field and saw that their kiss was blown up on the Jumbotron for the kiss cam.

Suddenly, they both looked at each other in surprise, before Sharon said, "You better hope for your sake, that that didn't end up on TV. Otherwise-" said Sharon before Andy pulled his phone out after he had felt it vibrating in his pocket.

"If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that's probably one of your children calling or texting you. You should probably answer it," said Sharon.

Andy smiled as he turned his phone around to show Sharon the text message from Nicole:

About damn time, Dad! Although, you might have mentioned it before you guys went and got yourselves captured on the kiss cam at Dodger Stadium. Tell Sharon I said congratulations!

Right after she finished reading it, Sharon smiled and said, "Looks like you've got a couple more there."

Andy turned his phone back around as he looked to see who else had texted him. He opened the one from his son, Brandon first:

Hey Dad! Saw you on TV. Isn't that the woman you brought to the Nutcracker last year? Good job getting filmed kissing your boss on TV. Anyways, congrats!

Andy smiled as he looked at Sharon and said, "Well I guess the cat's out of the bag now, at least where my kids are concerned," said Andy.

"How did Brandon react?" Sharon asked him.

"He's good with it. He thought it was funny that we ended up on the kiss cam," Andy replied.

Sharon smiled at him before he looked down when his phone vibrated yet again.

"Oh jeez! Umm…don't get upset, but according to Provenza, the whole team just saw it too," said Andy.

Sharon laughed at that.

"So, you think this is funny?" Andy asked her.

"Yeah. It's not like we were trying to end up on the kiss cam. Plus, it beats having to tell everyone. Now, probably just about everyone knows," Sharon replied.

"Yeah, I guess so. So, what about you? Any amusing messages?" Andy asked her.

"Let me check," Sharon replied as she went to grab her phone out of her purse.

After a minute, she began to laugh.

"Should I be scared?" Andy asked.

Sharon turned her phone around and showed him the text message from Hobbs:

Damn Sharon! Work should be interesting for you and Lieutenant Flynn on Monday. The whole PAB is going to be whistling every time one of you walks by them. Congrats!

Andy chuckled after he finished reading the text.

"Oh, it gets better. Scroll to the next page and read the one from Gavin," Sharon told him.

Andy swiped across the screen to take him to Gavin's text message.

Way to go, honey! Jorge and I just saw you on TV getting caught on the kiss cam. Are my eyes deceiving me or is that Lieutenant Flynn?

"Oh jeez! Well, I think it's safe to say that everyone we know has seen this and knows that we're dating now," said Andy as he handed Sharon back her phone and smiled at her.

"All the more reason to show you off," Sharon replied as she grinned at him.

"My thoughts exactly," said Andy as he pulled Sharon closer and leaned his head against hers as they turned their attention back to the game.

A couple of hours later, the game ended. The Dodgers won 10 to 4 over the Giants. They were currently on their way back to Andy's house. A few minutes later, Sharon pulled up in front of Andy's house and killed her car engine.

They were still holding hands when Andy asked, "Walk me to the door?"

Sharon nodded her head and smiled as she opened her door to get out of the car and they walked up to his front porch hand in hand.

Once they arrived in front of the door, Andy turned around and placed his hands on Sharon's hips, pulling her slightly towards him, before Sharon closed the space between them by wrapping arms around Andy's neck and pulling his head towards hers as they shared a lingering kiss.

A minute or two later, Andy broke the kiss as he said, "You're the best at planning dates, you know that?"

"Mmhmm. You're not so bad yourself. Plus, we got the unplanned bonus of ending up on the kiss cam," Sharon said as she chuckled.

"And that was only on our second date. We must not be too bad at this whole kissing thing," said Andy.

"Not too bad at all. In fact, I think we're both rather good at it," Sharon replied.

"I agree. There's always time to practice though, right?" Andy asked teasingly.

"Mmhmm. I fully support this whole practice idea of yours," Sharon replied as they once again locked lips, this kiss lasting a bit longer than the last, with Andy beginning to move away from her mouth and trailing feather light kisses from her cheek, to the corner of her chin, and then down her neck towards her collarbone.

She had just turned his attention back up to her lips, when the ring of a cell phone interrupted them and they broke apart slightly so that they both could check their phones.

It turned out to be Sharon's and she turned it around to reveal Provenza's name on her caller id as she looked at Andy and said, in reference to their previous kissing, "To be continued."

"He sure has impeccable timing, I'll give him that," said Andy before Sharon answered her phone.

"Lieutenant Provenza, what is it?" Sharon asked.

"I apologize if I'm interrupting anything, Captain, but we've got a murder," said Provenza.

"Where?" Sharon asked as Andy, realizing they had a case, unlocked and opened his door and signaled to Sharon that he'd be out in a minute.

"In Silver Lake. One victim, a Marcus Walker, late 30's to early 40's. Shot twice. Once in the leg and once in the chest, which I suspect was the cause for his departure. Patrol just picked up the wife. She's been notified and they're bringing her to the precinct now. I was going to send Julio back to wait for her arrival," said Provenza.

"Okay. Keep Sanchez there to help you with whatever you might need. Andy and I will head to the precinct now and wait for Mrs. Walker's arrival," said Sharon as she looked over and saw Andy coming out the door with a black LAPD polo shirt on over his t-shirt, dress shoes, as well as his gun and badge at his waist.

"Okay. We shouldn't be too much longer here, but let me know if you need me to send Sanchez back before that," said Provenza.

"Okay. Thank you Lieutenant. Please call me if anything of interest turns up," said Sharon.

"Will do, Captain. Bye," Provenza said quickly before they hung up.

Sharon began walking toward her car and Andy followed her. He became a bit confused when she popped the trunk.

"What are you doing?" he asked her.

"I always keep an extra blazer and a pair of heels in the trunk for occasions like this," she told him as she put on the blazer and momentarily sat on the edge of the trunk to take off her flats and slip on her pair of heels.

"You really do have a sense of occasion all of the time, don't you?" Andy asked.

"Pretty much," Sharon said as she smiled at him and he smiled right back before Sharon closed the trunk and they both got into the car.

It wasn't until they took off and began making their way towards the precinct, that Andy asked, "So, do I get to ask what's in the other bag in your trunk?"

"Oh, you know, just an unregistered gun, fake passports, and some stolen credit cards," said Sharon wryly.

"I think you've been hanging around me a little too much. My tendency towards sarcasm is starting to rub off on you," Andy replied.

Sharon looked over and smiled at him before she turned her attention back to the road and said, "Well, if you must know, it's just my gym clothes. Although, I thought the other story sounded a bit more interesting, didn't you?"

"Except that you're a faithful rule follower who would never be in possession of any of those things," Andy pointed out.

"Well, what if I was undercover?" Sharon asked teasingly.

"Seriously? We're two blocks away from the PAB and you choose now to use that reference?" Andy asked her.

"Not a bad way to end a date, huh?" Sharon asked playfully.

"I swear you're going to be the death of me, Sharon Raydor," Andy told her.

"I sure hope not, but either way you'll still like me," Sharon replied as she pulled into the PAB parking garage.

"Very true. That's one fact that I don't plan on ever escaping from," Andy replied seriously as Sharon killed the engine and put the car in park.

"Look who's getting all sentimental," Sharon told him as she looked down for a moment and then looked back up at him with slightly glassy eyes and said, "You are a sweet man, Andy Flynn. Now, before we have to go in there and be all professional, I'm going to kiss you for what you just said."

They both moved toward each other and kissed as Sharon put her hand on Andy's cheek and he did the same as their kiss lingered momentarily before they broke apart and got out of the car, now off to do the job that brought them both together in the first place.
