I'm Sorry Maura, is there anything I can do?
Chapter 1
"Ma, I did something horrible and I'm afraid to tell Maura" Jane said as she sat on the couch sipping her beer as her mom stood at the kitchen counter doing her usual clean up rituals.
"Well Jane, what did you do to begin with?" Her mom said as she stopped washing the counter top to focus her attention on her daughter
Jane took a deep breath before downing her drink, "You know while she is out of town, I was supposed to feed Bass?" Jane looked back at her mom
"Jane Rizzoli, You didn't kill him did you?" Her mom scolded her and Jane frowned
"I wouldn't say killed ma, I would say he passed on" Jane shook it off before thinking about how distraught Maura would be tomorrow when she came back to no Bass.
"Well just be honest with her, Jane that's all you need to do and I don't just mean expressing what happened to Bass, also your feelings for her. Jane I know you too well, you hold back and you let things get to you plus your brother has been telling me your work performance has decreased" Jane's mom said before finishing the kitchen and walking to sit on the chair next to the couch
"Anything to get to Detective huh Ma, he better realize who got him here" Jane said frustrated that Frankie had been talking to Ma about her decreasing performance at work.
"Oh Jane, don't get your panties in a wad but hunny I got to go. Tommy is waiting at the house I'm sure waiting on me to arrive with dinner. Love you" Jane's mom stood up and kissed Jane on the forehead before leaving.
Jane sat looking out the window, "I need to tell her, I need her now.' She muttered from her lips as she texted Maura "Can't wait to see you, I've got some good and some bad news for you. We'll talk when you arrive home." Jane said as she laid back on the couch before looking over at Jo Friday "What you looking at? Huh?"she said jumping at the dog as the dog gave her a weird look.
