Sirius

Disclaimer: Jane and Maura don't belong to me. I don't own anything. You can ask my parents.

A/N:This is an idea that had been running in my head for a long time so here it is. I'm new in here and this is actually my very first story so if you are going to criticize please be gentle. Also, english it's not my first language so it there's some mistake, I apologize in advance.

They had tried. It was great at the beginning but then it didn't work out. And it'd ended. Badly. And now, aside from work, they hadn't talk to each other in a really long time, had not being alone just the two of them. There was no more beer and wine at the Robber, no more movie nights. Jane would no longer went down to the morgue if there wasn't an autopsy. And Maura had opted for not going upstair, she was the boss after all and could always send an intern to deliver the reports.

They couldn't talk to each other without end it yelling and fighting. The words are knives when they are driven by anger and passions and they always ended up hurting each other and crying after the other one leaves. And both thought that that was all, there was not going back. They were both too proud and stubborn to give the first step.

And even though they still had strong feelings and still love each other like crazy, seen each other was just too much, so if they never have to do it again that was fine.

But destiny, family and friends had other plans in mind, so their paths met again outside the precinct and suddenly they found themselves capable, for the first time, of stand next to each other, without speaking, just enjoying the silence that embrace them, just enjoying the company. They still had a lot of things to say but they were both too tired of argue and neither of them wants to ruin this moment.

It was a silent truce.

They started to sneak a glance here and there when the other one wasn't looking but suddenly they both miscalculated and their eyes met, staying for a while just looking at each other, looking for something to say or a way of get the hell out of there. That, until Maura just closed her eyes and turned her head to look out trough the window.

The silence was starting to get too heavy and Jane felt the need to say something but she didn't know how to start. Luckily, her mouth had a little idea. An easy way.

"Maura." It was soft. Almost imperceptive. She wasn't even sure that Maura had listened her.

"Please don't, Jane." She didn't want to argue. She didn't want to start this discussion again. It was a sweet moment so far. Why she couldn't enjoy it a little longer?

Jane fall silent. But took advantage of the moment fixing her eyes on the doctor. On the tired expressions of her face. The way her eyebrows narrow and formed a sad frown. The way her lips pursed and her jaw clenched . The way her golden curls fell perfectly down her shoulders, exposing just a little part of the long neck -her favourite part to be kissed- and god, she was dying to kiss her.

And suddenly it hit her. How could she let her go? She was everything and she was so, so beautiful. How she let her pride get in the way of their relationship that way? She knew she has to fix this. And she has to do it now. She couldn't lose her. She couldn't resist it. How could she had been so stupid in the first place? How could she'd survive all this time without her? Was was she thinking?

It was time to put aside her pride. She had to get her back. She needed her more than air itself.

"I'm sorry," she tried to say in a strong voice, but instead her tone was shaking. She cleared her throat and started again. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being an idiot, for not listening to you, for yelling at you. I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm sorry for making you feel that we weren't meant to be. But I can't live without you."

She was speaking fast, really fast. Like afraid that if she stopped she couldn't start again.

Maura had her head down, but Jane needed to feel her, she needed to know that Maura was listening. So tentatively she took both of maura's hands in her own and continued.

"We can start again. I know we can. I know we can be great together, Maur. I know that we can shine, we can be a star in this beautiful sky, the brightest of all. Or we can be the moon, the sun, a whole new galaxy, whatever you want, but together. I don't need anything or anyone else but you. I know that the force that bind us is stronger that you or I can't even begin to imagine and there's nothing in this world that hurts me more that being without you, Maur. Please."

Maura just stood there, in silence looking at her shoes. She couldn't look at Jane. Suddenly she begins to tremble. Jane take her chin softly and raise her head, noting that her eyes were wet, but the answer she was looking for was in there. In the shine of her eyes, in the expression of her face, in her accelerated heartbeat, in the strength and tenderness of the squeeze that Maura give to her hands.

She raised her left hand and with her thumb remove the lonely tear that was running down Maura's cheek without taking her eyes away from her face and whispered. "I love you."

"Sirius," responded Maura, smiling.

Jane stare at her confused. She just put her whole heart in her hands, and Maura knew how hard that was for her. What was she talking about?

"What?"

"Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. You said something about the force that bind us. Sirius is a binary star, they are actually two stars orbiting around a common center of mass and they are bound by a gravitational pull so strong that it's almost impossible separate them," she was rambling but she couldn't stop. Jane just stare at her smiling, so she keep speaking, "They are actually so close to each other that they evolution like one, but reach states that one single star could never…"

Jane was listening carefully but she knew that Maura was so nervous that would never stop speaking if Jane didn't stop her. So taking her face with both hands she close the distance between them and kissed her softly.

It just lasted a couple of seconds but they both felt like it had been a year. They've been waiting so long for this that neither of them want it to end. When the kiss ended they were incapable of move away, so they stay with their foreheads together and their eyes still closed. Breathing the same air. Feeling each other. Tasting the moment.

And this time it was Maura who whispered, "I love you."

Jane just smiled, opened her eyes and look for the hazel eyes of the beautiful woman in front of her, "Sirius".

And both knew that this wasn't all, they still had a lot to talk. But it was a start. And that was enough.

A/N 2: I hope you enjoy it and if you like it let me know :)
