A/N: This idea came to my mind while I was at work a couple of months ago. I started writing while I was at work taking a break and soon it became a story. It is my first attempt in writing a story about Major Crimes and my favourite couple, Sharon and Andy. I hope that it isn't disappointing.
I don't own Major Crimes or the characters.
It was a calm Friday morning as they hadn't caught any case from yesterday morning that they had closed their previous case. Also, if they didn't catch another case today they were going to have a nice and peaceful weekend after a long time. They were all at their desks doing some work or catching up paperwork that they had put aside because of a case. They were all there, except from their boss, except from their Captain. She had taken a couple of hours for herself as she had to go to an appointment that was very important for her. Andy had offered to with her but she insisted on going alone. She knew it was something they should do together but this time she wanted to do it alone.
Provenza had finished most of the paperwork he had to do and decided to have a break by engrossing himself in his crossword. Tao had gone to do an errand his wife had asked him to do. Sanchez was still in his desk going through his emails and Buzz was busy by sending messages. Flynn had finished all of the paperwork he had to and went inside the Captain's office to lay down in the couch.
A few minutes later Rusty walked in the Murder Room to find only Provenza still engrossed in his crossword and Sanchez at his desk doing something in his computer. "Well, I see that it is nice not to have a case.", he said with a smile on his face while the two men looked up at him.
"Mr. Beck! What brings you here?", Provenza asked the young man with a smile on his face, something they were getting used to the last few months.
"Sharon texted me that she will be here in an hour and to come here to have lunch together.", he explained to him. "Where are the others?", he asked them as he looked around.
"Sykes and Sanchez are in the cubicle playing a computer game. Tao has gone for an errand. As for Flynn…", the older man pointed towards the Captain's office.
"He is sleeping again.", Rusty finished for him with a smirk on his face.
"Long night at home?", Sanchez asked him with a smirk.
"Yeah, something like that.", Rusty chuckled along with the others.
"Okay, come on!", Provenza said as he stood up from his chair and grabbed his jacket. "Rusty. Sanchez. Let's go take lunch for everyone.", he said as he put on his jacket. "Rusty ask the Captain what she would like for lunch.", he told the young man as they left the Murder Room.
After a while, Sharon walked in an empty Murder Room. She knew that Provenza, Sanchez and Rusty had gone to take lunch for everyone. She was ready to go inside her office when she heard footsteps behind her and turned around. It was Tao with a mug of coffee in his hand.
"Captain.", he greeted her with a smile. "I just needed some coffee to calm my nerves down.", he explained to her as he saw her looking at the mug and went to his desk.
"Where are Amy, Buzz and Andy?", she asked as she looked around the room.
"Amy and Buzz are engrossed with a computer game in the cubicle, so no one can see them. As for Flynn, I don't know exactly where he is.", he informed her with a shrug.
"Thank you, Mike.", she walked towards her office and entered. She closed the door and the blinds as she wanted some peace and calm for a few minutes.
She placed a hand on her mouth to stop the scream when she felt two hands on her back. She turned around slowly and found Andy with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Andy Flynn, you scared me to death.", she took a few breaths to calm down her racing heart.
"I am sorry, honey.", he said with honesty. "How did it go with the doctor? Is everything alright?", he asked with concern evident on his face. "Is my little one alright?", he asked her as he placed his hands on her baby bump.
Sharon was now seven months pregnant. They had gotten married nine months ago. It was a lovely and simple wedding. They had only invited their children and the team. They didn't thing that they could be parents again, especially at the age until Sharon had informed them about her pregnancy five months ago. They had a scare while she was in the third month and since then she was staying in the office. She would go to a crime scene only when it was absolutely necessary for her to be present. Today she had an appointment with the doctor and she wanted to go alone, so she could ask her question without Andy knowing how worried she was about this pregnancy and this baby. She was doing a great job at hiding it so far.
"Everything is fine, Andy.", she told him with a roll of her eyes. "Our little one is doing perfectly fine.", they had decided to wait until the day their baby will come to this world, so they could learn the baby's sex. They wanted it to be a surprise.
She grabbed his arm for support as she took off her high heels. She knew very well that she had to start wearing flats show now as she was getting heavier and bigger every day. She had to admit that her belly wasn't so big at her previous pregnancies. Then again nothing was the same as her previous pregnancies. Now she was older and her body had changed after giving birth to her children.
"Come here, love.", he grabbed her hand and guided her towards the couch. He helped her sit down in one end of the couch while he sat down in the other end of the couch and taking her feet on his lap. Slowly he started rubbing her feet and smiled when he heard her sigh of relief.
"That feels so nice, Andy.", she told him and let her head fall back while she took off her glasses. She could feel the baby kicking and that brought a huge smile on her face. "Our little one is kicking like furious right now.", she smiled wider when he placed his hands on her belly, so he could feel their baby "Our child has quiet a temper from now.", she had a smirk on her face that turned into a smile as he heard her smile.
"We have a football player growing up inside you.", he joked as his hand was still on her belly feeling their little one kicking.
"No, our little one is protesting right now because it wants food. Where are they with our lunch?", she was quite hungry and the baby kicking wasn't making it any easier.
As she finished her question, Andy was ready to answer her but they heard footsteps and voices in the murder room. Only two minutes later, there was a knock on the door and Rusty entered the office slowly and with a smile on his face.
"Food is here. Sharon we got what you wanted and we have a surprise for you. That is the reason we were a little late with the lunch.", he told her without taking off his smile and walked out of the office.
"They know very well that I don't like surprises.", she took her feet from her husband's lap and put them down on the floor.
"They love you, honey.", he helped her stand up. "They want to make you happy, Sharon.", he was used again as support by his wife as she put them on again.
They walked out of her office holding hands and with a smile on their faces. She was ready to ask what her surprise was but she stopped with her eyes wide and her mouth open. "Oh my God!", she whispered and felt her kneels buckling but the two strong arms of her husband kept her steady as tears appeared in her eyes."What are you doing here?", she asked while wanting to go forward but worried she would fall down.
"We came to see you, mom.", Emily Raydor answered her mother 's question and looked at her brother. They both nodded at each other and went to hug their mother.
"I can't believe that you are here.", her voice was shaky from her tears. She had nine months to see them, since her wedding. She was emotional every time they visited but now the pregnancy made her even more emotional.
"Okay, everyone. Let's eat our lunch before it gets cold.", Provenza broke the silence. He was more happy and was smiling more since the wedding and since the announcement of Sharon's pregnancy but still he wasn't very good at dealing with such emotional scenes.
Andy continued holding his wife as he guided her towards his desk and helped her sit down. Rusty brought them their lunch and then went to the cubicle with his brother and sister to have their lunch together. The three of them had a lot of catch up to do, even though they were speaking via Skype at least once a week. He was sure that Emily and Ricky had a lot of questions to ask him and he realized he didn't mind at all.

Sharon had finished her lunch and stayed for a while to chat with her team. She slowly stood up from the chair and went to her office where she took off her high heels again and slowly sat down in the couch with her feet up. She took off her glasses and let her head fall back with her eyes closed. Through the first five months of her pregnancy she was feeling very good but since she entered her sixth month it seemed that the baby was taking all of her energy.
She smiled when she heard the door of her office opening and closing and the familiar footsteps approaching her. He took her feet in his hands, sat down in the couch and put them in his lap. Slowly he started rubbing her feet as he had done earlier. He smiled when he heard her half sigh and half moan. From the beginning of their relationship, after a long day at work, he would rub her feet and that always ended with them making love. It was a little difficult for them now to make love with her big belly between them and she certainly missed that.
At that moment it was like he had read her thoughts. He stood up from the couch, locked all three doors of her office and closed all the blinds around the office. He took off his jacket and tie, placing them on a chair and approached his wife once more. After an hour or so they were both dressed and walked out of her office holding hands. They all knew that their captain needed to rest and didn't say anything. After all, they both slept a little after their love making.
Rusty, Emily and Ricky appeared from the cubicle with smiles on their faces. They watched the couple that was smiling at each other but soon realized how tired their mother looked despite her smile.
"Kids, you will take you mother with you at home. She is too tired to keep working.", he held up his hand for his wife. "No protest, Sharon.", he said and he knew that he had won this argument. "I will be with you and the kids in a couple of hours.", he kissed her lips lightly and watched them as they left.
Andy went to break room to take a mug with coffee and went back to his desk to finish a paper he had forgotten earlier. He found an envelope addressed to him but he didn't recognize the handwriting. "What is this?", he asked the others with the envelope in his hands.
"It came for you, Lieutenant.", Sykes answered his question and went back to what she was doing.
Andy opened the envelope, took out the paper that was inside and read it.
'Take care of your wife as much as you can because you are going to lose her soon. An old friend.'
I am waiting your reviews and your ideas and opinions.
