"I, I don't know what or how to answer that Jane." Maura had been expecting that question to come up despite wanting it to be asked nonetheless.
"Maur, listen to me," Jane persisted, "we have known each other 5 years now. Don't tell me that you don't know who I am. I am right here. Always have been always will be. I am Jane, I am a woman, I am a Detective and I love you. Think about this, think about us. Please? I am telling you, you won't regret anything."
Maura was thinking to herself about the past time spent with her best friend. Jane is always there, as is she. She is a woman, as is she, and she loves Jane. She knew her answer to the question that the two were scared of. Maura answered, "Yes. Yes, Jane I agree that there should be an 'us'."
A smile swept across Jane's face as she let out, "I won't let you down."
"I know. Jane, I do know you. I want you to know that I love you, I have always loved you but never realized that I love you a lot more than I initially thought I did," Maura rambled, "I do feel silly talking like this but I really can't find the correct words to describe my feeling right now."
"I have the great Doctor Isles speechless? How did this happen?" Jane pointed out. "Then show me." Jane flashed her Rizzoli smile as she pulled Maura in closer, though slowly allowing for room for the ME to pull away. Quickly though, Maura closed the distance between the two woman placing her lips on Jane's.
"Breathless, Detective." Maura inhaled for a breath, breathing in Jane's scent while in her arms was overwhelming to Maura.
"Maura Isles, would you like you like to go to dinner with me tomorrow night?" Jane formally asked her new girlfriend.
"Yes, Jane I would love to. What time?" Maura asked.
"Well, because we only get home at like 5:30, and tomorrows my turn to drive, maybe we can go separately, and I'll pick you up at your house at 7?" Jane thought out loud while answering the question.
"Sound like a date. Where will you be taking me, Jane?" Maura was curious. She knew where the men Jane dated took her, but she never knew where Jane took people on dates.
"I'm not going to tell you, Maur. That would ruin our first date. No way, I'm not going to do that. However, it is 10:00, so I am going to go home," Jane explained, "but I love you," She kissed Maura on the lips again, "and I will see you tomorrow."
Both woman smiled as Maura responded, "Goodbye Jane. Love you"
The next morning the two women met at the front of the BPD. Jane immediately spoke, "Hey beautiful, how was your night?"
"Already using pet names, are we?" Maura laughed, "and my night was amazing. I acquired a girlfriend, and never thought that would ever happen. I couldn't sleep very well, but I soon got over it and fell asleep. How are you, Jane?"
Jane smiled at the thought of the previous night. She had loved the ME for years now, but never thought that the love was requited. When, it turns out that is exactly what the ME thought as well.
I couldn't be better. I have everything now." Jane said in hopes to prove her love to Maura. By then, the two were in the Elevator and about to part ways. They dropped and untwined their hands together while both saying at the same time, "See you."
Jane continued up to the bullpen and greeted Korsak, Frost, and Breckner, a new female detective. All surprised at her happy-go-lucky tone, Breckner spoke up, "Rizzoli, I see we are happy today."
Jane smiled at the younger Detective, "Yeah, because I am. I am actually coo-ing over my girlfriend."
"Wait, girlfriend? Does the Doc know about her?" Korsak said, confused. He knew the Detective for a while and would think he would know who she is dating.
"Wha- No! Korsak…. I'm sure she knows. She did say yes when I asked her to be my girlfriend." Jane said.
Then Breckner continued, "Doc? Oh, you mean Doctor Isles?" She got a nod, I thought you were already dating…" Breckner became awkward, realizing that her word choice wasn't her strongest choice.
Sensing the feeling, Jane said, "Breckner, you are luck you are a good Detective. Trust me, you are not alone. People always think were dating anyway. See," Jane emphasized Korsak and Frost, "look, they are not surprised at all." To which Breckner smiled.
"Not really, Janie, I mean we all knew you would get together at some point." Korsak stated.
Frost jumped and pulled out his phone. After he read the screen, he turned to Korsak, "We got a case, got to go." Korsak had recently been promoted, leaving Jane as the Sgt. Det. With Frost and Breckner as the Detectives.
"I'll go get Maur." Jane said excitedly, hurrying away.
