AN: just some fun. I might continue this a bit with another chapter, but not certain yet. This is just fun and fills in some holes that I needed filled.

Thanks to everyone has been so supportive my exploring this world of writing.

As she sat there listening to Provenza and Patrice exchanging their vows, her awareness of the man beside her became more heightened. Her fears of repeating past mistakes still nagged in the back of her heart, but the shear amount of pure love she felt for this man seemed to be pouring out of her pores and she just couldn't stop the goofy smile that was plastered across her face as she snuggled slightly closer into his smile.

For his part, Andy Flynn couldn't believe the turn of fate life had taken. Here stood his best friend marrying a gorgeous generous woman that obviously adored him. Those two hadn't exactly met in the best of circumstances, but here they were, happy and pledging their lives to one another. For all the gratuitous teasing he had given Provenza, Sharon was right. This one was for keeps. And then there was Sharon, scooching even closer into his side with that gorgeous smile. How he had disliked her so much seemed a mystery now. She was his other whole, the one who made him see life in colors again, and God help him he was never letting her go.

The Provenzas had said their "I do's" (at the proper time in the ceremony) and their friends had sent them off with the champagne toast that Andrea had planned. Sharon, squeezing Andy's interlinked fingers slightly nodded towards Rusty. He showed his understanding with his eyes and called Gus over to ask him how he was getting on in the city. Sharon walked over to her son and bent her head seeking out his eyes.

"Rusty, you did good today with Gary"

"Thanks, mom." His eyes brightening up. Her being proud of him meant more than he would ever admit.

"Now, maybe you can spend some time with Gus?" her eyes full of knowing, and his full of embarrassment.

He shuffled his feet turning himself away from her. "Shar-Mom, I really can't talk to you about dating. I just.."

"I know, I get that, I'm not going to talk to you about my dating life either!" she smirked, gaining a small laugh and eye roll from her son. "I just want you to be aware, Gus is a good guy. I don't want you to push him away just because that's what you have seen in other relationships."

"Mom, I'm not, I just..." he shuffled his feet again.

"I know; I just want you to pay attention to his feelings. This is new for you. I know from my own experiences that sometimes your past experiences make you apt to emulate them despite your best intentions." She wrapped her arm around his shoulders pulling her to him and felt him relax slightly against her.

"Thanks, Mom." A smile growing on his face. "So maybe Gus and I will go and grab some burgers and talk and maybe go for a walk." Looking up and smirking at her "You'll have the condo to yourself."

"Rusty!" a blush creeping up her face.

"Look mom, I'm not gonna say you two don't still gross me out, but he's not Jack. Mom, he loves you, and I've never seen you smile like you have since you two started real dating. Maybe you need to…"

"Rusty, that's enough. I'm still the mom." But her eyes softened as she took a deep breath. This was the closest she was getting to her son's approval, but she still wasn't discussing her love life with him.

She squeezed him and turned them to rejoin Gus and Andy.

Andy linked his fingers back with into Sharon's as they watched their boys head down the city hall steps.

"Andy?" she said leaned into him "do you have any plans for the rest of the afternoon?"

He released her fingers and turned her into him, his arms low around her hips.

"I'm looking at them." His lopsided grin making her glad his arms were around her to hold her up should her weak knees give way.

"Well, I've been told my condo is going to be empty for a while, but…"

"My place will have less chance of interruption." He growled into her ear as he pulled her hips ever so slightly closer into him.

"Andy!" her eyes widened, but his breath, his voice, and his closeness to her were working to disarm her. The fact that they were still standing out in front of city hall being the only thing that was grounding her to her powers of will.

"We need to stop by my condo. I may need some, um, things." Trying to not look him in the eye. The mix of sheer embarrassment at feeling like a teenager with her boyfriend with being a full grown woman who was most definitely turned on was leaving her with a flush she knew was evident to him as she could feel her face burning.

"Sharon." Grabbing her hand with more urgency that he had ever done before "we need to go, my car."
