A/N: This is my first fanfic so please bear with me. This is kind of an AU, but not really. Just a twist of reality. Hope you enjoy! :)


He pinned her down with scalpels through her hands. She screamed as loud as she could. "Go ahead, scream. No one can hear you." standing, straddling her, he smirked as he saw tears rolling down her face. "Why? Why are you doing this to – ow!" she yelped as he kicked her in the ribs, breaking one.

Trying to stifle her screams she began to feel hopeless. No one was coming. No one was going to find her.

"You think she loves you?" He asked, kneeling to her ear. His hot breath burned her neck as he breathed into her. He rephrased the question. "Do you think she loves you the way you love her?" She stiffened under him.

"Well, do you?" He began snickering as he felt the woman beneath him shake and cry.

"I'll take that as a 'yes'. It's a shame if you think about it. You're so beautiful. Both of you. Why have you chosen to love each other? Quite odd isn't it? Of all the men that could satisfy..." he looked down at her torn skirt. "... your needs, you choose love a woman." He began running another scalpel on her neck with just enough pressure to leave a scratch, but not enough to draw blood.

"She's... she's m-my friend." She managed to say through her tears and shallow breath.

"Oh but it's so much more than that, isn't it?" He grinned wickedly. "I think you know better than that, my dear." He leaned in closer to her ear to the point where his lips were grazing her earlobe. "That's why I'm doing this." His voice so quiet and rough, it pierced her ears and her heart. "I need to see her suffer. I need to see her suffer watching you suffer. And now, instead of being just like me" he looked at the scalpels through her hands "You're just like her."

Maura shot up from her nightmare breathing heavily and in a cold sweat. She looked around the hospital room to see Jane sleeping in the chair next to her bed, still holding her hand. This was the first time Jane slept for more than an hour or two in a while. It was 10:16 at night and Maura knew she wasn't going back to sleep anytime soon.

She was attempting to get out of the bed and go to the bathroom when she heard a voice at the door.

"Need help?" Korsak was leaning against the doorway with a faint smile on his face.

"Detective Korsak, it's passed visiting hours, how did you get in here?"

"Well, it pays off to have a badge once in a while." He said as he walked towards her.

"What're you doing here? You're suppose to be at home sleeping." Maura said as she wrapped her free hand around his neck.

"Came to check on ya'. And Janie of course." Korsak said as he slowly helped Maura out of the bed. Maura's hand slid out of Jane's and Jane, still sleepy, immediately grabbed her gun and pointed frantically around the room.

"What's going on? What happened? Are you okay?" She said as she tried to find who was bothering Maura with the end of her gun. Her voice still dripping with tiredness. It was more huskier than usual. Maura found it incredibly beautiful.

"Woah, easy Rizzoli! It's just me!" Korsak raised his free hand in the air. "I was helping her up." Jane lowered the gun and put it back on the nightstand. Jane rubbed her eyes finally fully waking up and realizing it's Korsak.

"Sorry, just a habit." Jane said as she got up and rushed to Maura's side. "I got it Korsak, go get the door."

"She's already on me, you go get the door." Korsak said as he swatted Jane's hand away. Jane gave him the death glare that made his insides curl as she walked to the bathroom door.

Dragging the machine with them, Maura and Korsak slowly moved to the bathroom as Jane watched, trying her best not to cry.

"I can take it from here. Thank you, Vince." Maura said as she steadied herself on the bathroom counter letting go of Korsak. She winced in pain but held her hand up as Jane and Korsak rushed to help her. "I'm fine. Please, I just want to use the bathroom alone if you guys don't mind."

"Fine. But if I hear anything out of the ordinary I'm coming in." Jane said as Maura was closing the door. Jane sat on Maura's bed while Korsak sat on the chair she was sleeping on. Jane began kneading her hands, holding back the tears she desperately needed to let out. "It's all my fault. I included her in this. I put her in danger. I should've been there! But I wasn't!" Her voice getting louder and louder. Korsak pulled her in and began stroking her soft curly hair. "I wasn't there, Korsak." She said softly into his chest letting the tears fall violently from her eyes. "S-she's so innoc-cent... and she didn't do do anyth-thing w-wrong." She took a deep breath and whispered "It's all my fault."

"You look at me." Korsak said, pushing her back enough to see her puffy red eyes filled with tears streaming down her cheeks. He cupped her cheek and stroked away some of the tears with his thumb. "None of this is your fault. Nothing is your f – " "Yes it is!" she interrupted. It was her fault. All her fault. If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have went after Maura. If it wasn't for her, none of this would of happened. Or so she believed. "If I had just –"

"Don't." It was Korsak's turn to interrupt. "He went after her because he's a sick bastard. No other reason. He's sick, Janie. He's a psycho who wants to see you break."

"Well, it's working." She said as she looked down at her own scarred hands. Korsak took her hands into his own. "Don't blame yourself. Dr. Isles is safe now because of you."

"Yeah well, I put her in danger so I might as well get her out of it." Korsak knew it was no use. Jane is stubborn. Once she makes up her mind, there's no use trying to change it.

"Jane?" Maura's voice came from the bathroom. Jane rushed to the bathroom in record time knowing exactly why Maura was calling her. Maura couldn't move her hands. It wasn't just painful but it felt impossible, so Jane had to help her do her business. As Jane and Maura finished what they were doing and made their way back into the room the night nurse came.

"Hello, Maura. How are you feeling?" She said as she and Korsak helped Jane get Maura situated into the bed.

"Better." She replied laying comfortably as she can in her bed.

"That's good. Um, Detective Rizzoli and Detective Korsak, may I see you two outside for a moment, please?" The young nurse said with a concerned look on her face. Jane took Maura's hand and placing a light kiss on the gauze on top of the spot where the scalpel penetrated. "We'll be right back. I promise." Jane said with a light smile.

"I know, Jane. I'll be fine." Maura said, returning the smile. Jane turned and walked out, following Korsak and the nurse.

Once they were out of earshot of Maura, the nurse began talking. "I'm only telling you this because I know how close you three are. If you don't mind, I'd rather you not tell anyone what I'm about to tell you. But you can tell Maura, just make sure she's calm and in the right state of mind." Jane was beginning to get worried. "Okay, Emily. We'll tell Dr. Isles if necessary but no one else. You have our word." Korsak replied. "Okay. Well, we see many rape victims. There's always an effect that we might see or not see. Like bruises and cuts and... Detectives, how much times do you see rape victims?"

"Too many." Jane said, looking down at her feet.

"And how many times has the culprit used protection?" Jane looked confused at the question.

"About a fourth, I guess. Not entirely sure. Why?" She said, wondering what possibilities were to why Emily would ask that.

"Because the man who raped Maura didn't use protection..." Jane looked at her with a blank look.

"What? Really?" Jane said sarcastically. "We already knew that but thanks anyway. I'm gonna go back and see if Maura wants something."

"You know, she might actually want a lot 'somethings' for a few months." Emily said as Jane turned to walk away. "What's that suppose to mean?" Jane said as she turned her head back to Emily with fury in her eyes. "Oh no.." Korsak said, putting two and two together. "Oh no? What 'oh no', Korsak?"

"Detective, just think about – "

"Cut the bullshit! What are you trying to say?!" cutting Emily off, looking more angry than she ever did. "What?!" she yelled when the two weren't saying anything and just looking at each other.

"Jane, keep your voice down. You could wake up –"

"I don't care Korsak! Tell me what she means!" Korsak looked at her with concern. "What? You're saying she could be..." Her eyes began tearing as she finally admitted to herself. She knew what Emily meant, she just didn't want to believe it. "No! No! That's not possible!" She said storming back to Maura's room.

"Detective –"

"Let her be." Korsak said as he put a hand on Emily's shoulder.

"I know it's the doctor's duty to tell you but I felt the need to. Maura is leaving tomorrow and Dr. Becket is off tomorrow which means he won't be here to tell you. And neither will I. I heard the doctor's talking about it just as Dr. Becket was leaving and they said she might not be but the chance of that is very slim." She told Korsak as he began making his way back to Maura's room.

"Well, we'll just hope for the best, I guess. Thanks, Em." Emily wanted to say more but just nodded her head as Korsak followed Jane back into the room. He stopped when he saw her holding Maura's hand and crying into her stomach.

"I'm so sorry, Maura. I'm so sorry. This is all my fault." Maura was stroking Janes hair with her free hand. "Shh, it's okay, sweetie. I'm fine. Give it a few weeks and everything will be back to normal." Korsak realized Jane hadn't told Maura that she could be pregnant.

Jane thought it would be best for now not to tell Maura that it is a possibility that she could be carrying the spawn of Charles Hoyt.


A/N: Yes, Hoyt is still alive in this. I'll go into detail of what happened. This was just a preview of the future. Please tell me what you think. Thank you for reading! :)
