A/N so a short chapter. Thinking this is the last chapter unless I get inspired and think of where to go with this. Funny how a 1 chapter story can morph into 5 chapters :) thank you everyone for all the support and feedback.

Chapter 5

The sun coming in the windows was blinding. There was an aroma of coffee filling the air. Andy woke with a start unsure at first of where he was until the memory of the night before began to take form bringing a sleepy smile to his face. He sighed contently, enjoying the feel of Sharon's still sleeping form splayed across him, her hair tickling his nose and her breath warm against his neck.

He smiled as he began to run his fingers gently through her hair. As the haze of sleep slowly left his body and his mind he came to certain realizations. He rolled slightly to glance at the clock, it was much later in the morning than he realized. The smell of coffee meant Rusty was up. He sighed and smirked before kissing Sharon's head and whispering her name.

She hummed a little but didn't move. "Sharon?" He tried again giving her a little shake, "you need to wake up, Sharon." Her eyes fluttered. She squinted against the bright sunlight.

"Hmm, morning," she croaked blinking as her eyes adjusted to the brightness. "What time is it?"

"Late," he said.

"Did you make coffee?" She asked with a soft smile brushing her hair back from her face.

"No," he said waiting. He watched as his words slowly sank in. Her smile faded replaced by a look of worry. She sat up quickly with a gasp.

"Rusty!" A look of terror flashed in her eyes as she spun away from him looking at the clock. "Oh god," she breathed, giving and an almost pleading look. Andy just nodded his head with that mischievous smirk on his face. She clambered out of bed taking the sheet with he. "Get dressed," she pleaded.

Andy sat up and swung his feet out of bed. He could hear Sharon open bureau draws as he scanned the floor for his clothes. He donned his boxers and socks. Sharon walked quickly to the doorway, quickly scooping up her dress and Andy's pants. Tossing the pants in his direction as she headed into the bathroom. When she reappeared with her face washed and hair brushed, Andy was half dressed. She looked at him a hint of irritation in her expression.

"What?" He said with a shrug. "The rest is out there," he said pointing toward the open bedroom door. Sharon could just make out a bit of white fabric on the hallway floor. She must have missed it in her earlier haste. Sighing she heads for the door, peeking out she quickly snatches and their shoes. Dropping her shoes just inside the doorway, she walks back to Andy handing him the remaining garments before sitting on the edge of the bed. Andy quickly pulls on his undershirt. Giving her sideways glance, he sits beside her and slides into his shoes. She has not taken her eyes off the open doorway since she sat down.

"It'll be ok," Andy says taking her hand. He stands giving her a gentle tug. Sharon closes her eyes, drops her chin to her chest before taking a long deep breath and surrendering to his gentle but insistent tug.

Squeezing his hand, they headed for the kitchen.

"Ah...good morning," Rusty said unable to conceal the grin on his face as he greeted Andy and Sharon who slowly made their way into the kitchen. "I didn't mean to wake you," he continued offering Andy a mug of coffee.

"Ah thanks kid," Andy replied accepting the mug bringing it quickly to his lips.

"You... Ah... Want a cup... Mom?" Rusty said giving Sharon a sideways glance.

"Thank you Rusty," she said her fingers fiddling with the edge of her sweater. She reached for the offered mug willing herself to make eye contact with her son no matter how awkward the moment became.

"So..." Rusty began drawing the word out slowly, "Looks like you two had a good night," he said with a smirk.

Andy sputtered nearly spitting out the sip of coffee he just took. Sharon shot him a look. She could feel her cheeks flush growing warm as a blush crept up her skin.

Clearing her throat she tried to steer the conversation in a new direction, she asked "Did you get your tickets?"

Rusty grinned. Andy made his way to the dining table. He was doing his best to not be drawn into this particular conversation.

"Ya, the line moved faster than we thought it would so I got back relatively early," Rusty's eyes sparked with mischief as he spoke. It wasn't often that he was able to properly tease his mother and he wasn't letting her off easy. "I was surprised to find the lights and stereo on," he said as he made his way to the fridge. Talking over his shoulder, he only chanced a glance or two in Sharon's direction, "I actually almost broke my neck on your shoes," he teased.

Sharon open her mouth to respond but Andy's poor attempted at stifle a laugh caught her attention. She turned giving him a "you are not helping" look. Andy smirked at her holding up both hands.

Rusty had retrieved the milk, a bowl and a box of cereal. When Sharon met his gleeful gaze he continued pointing with his spoon, "And you left dirty dishes in the living room. Breaking house rules? Wonder what was so important you couldn't clean up after yourself?" He said with a grin.

Andy chuckled again.

She again glared in Andy's direction. Then rounded on Rusty. She pointed at him squinting her eyes, "Young man," she said in measured tones.

"Your glasses are on the end table," Rusty chuckled. Sharon sighed finally putting her hands over her face. Sliding her fingers down her face resting her fingertips against lips looking at her son. His expression was priceless, grinning like a Cheshire cat. She cupped her cheeks in her hands. She could feel the heat radiating off of them. With a sigh, she asked, "Are you finished?"

An expression of angelic innocence washed over Rusty's face, "What? Have I ..." Rusty paused looking at Andy who could no longer contain his amusement.

"All right, the two of you. I will only discuss this in an adult manner," she said her hands finding her hips. She was working hard to hide the smile that continually tried to take the seriousness out of her statement.

Rusty took on a stoic look, "Discuss what? Really Mom I do not want to know. What happens behind closed doors is your business." He took a bite of his cereal chewing in an overly serious manner. Picking up the bowl, he said, "I'm going to finish this in my room." He could feel his mother's eyes on him as he walked past her. Over his shoulder he called back, "Oh speaking of doors ...please, he turned continuing to walk backwards down the hall, "please and I can not emphasize this enough," he said stopping next to her bedroom door. With an enormous grin he said, "Please close your door."

"Rusty!" Sharon gasped as he quickly disappeared into his room. She looked at Andy. He laughed, smiled back at her and shrugged.

"What just happened?" she asked making her way to the table putting down her now luke warm coffee.

Andy smiled and shook his head. "I'm no expert but I think your son just approved." He snaked his hands around her waist drawing her between his legs. Smiling she bent down kissing his temple and running her fingers through his hair before looking back toward Rusty's room.
