"Thanks for coming Maura." Cailin said as Maura stepped into Hope's house.

Cailin normally wasn't there because she was going to BCU but it was winter break. Even though Cailin despised Maura at first, she had learned to accept Maura into her life. She understood that her mother couldn't have known Maura was alive and therefore had to mourn for the daughter she lost.

She also couldn't imagine the pain Maura went through. Never having her real mom or dad around, having to behave as an adult even as a child, always wondering and probably blaming herself for Hope never finding her.

"Of course Cailin. I'm always happy to help you and to see you." Maura replied sweetly. She never blamed Cailin for hating her nor could she blame Hope for not finding her. She was just glad that they wanted her in their life.

Maura set her bag of tools down and hugged her sister. Cailin hugged back and Maura winced when she touched her lower back. Cailin let go and looked away.

"Still hurts huh?" Cailin asked forgetting that it would take Maura longer to heal.

"A little bit. How bout you?" Maura said as she sat down on the couch.

"Not a bit. Weird isn't it?" Cailin said feeling a little bad.

"Oh don't feel bad. It'll just take me a little longer because I'm older." Maura said knowing she felt bad.

"How did you…"

"You forget I can read faces and you feel bad for me."

"Yeah… I do…"

"Don't Cailin."

Maura smiled and went to look at the T.V on the wall. She looked behind it and couldn't find anything wrong.

"Cailin I thought you said the TV was broken." Maura said confused. That is the reason that Cailin called her out there and since Maura was off duty till she felt better she came.

"It is watch." Cailin turned the T.V. on but the screen was black. Maura stood there puzzled then remembered something.

"Is your TV satellite?" Maura asked.

"Yeah but what does that have to do with it?" Cailin asked concerned.

"I have an idea." Maura said confidently.

"Did you just guess?" Cailin asked teasingly know her older sister hated guessing.

"No I theorized on how to fix your TV." Maura countered back.

"You'll fix it before mom gets back won't you? Oh I'm in so much trouble. I called you because you're the smartest person I know." Cailin rambled.

"You think I'm smart?" Maura asked.

"Yeah I just said that." Cailin offered back.

"I know it's just nice to hear it again." Maura smirked as she headed outside.

Cailin rolled her eyes and went outside with Maura. Maura looked through a shed and found what she was looking for. She called Cailin over to help her move a tall ladder to the roof. Once it was leaned against the roof Maura grabbed her bag of tools and had Cailin hold the ladder while she climbed to the snow covered roof.

Maura saw the snow covered satellite and set her bag on the somewhat flat roof. She looked at Cailin and told her she knew what was wrong.

"There's snow and ice on the dish. I can take it from here." She told the younger woman who went back inside. Maura began clearing the snow from the dish with a flat snow rake she built. Once the snow was cleared she carefully took out an ice pick and picked away the ice on the dish.

3 hours later

"Cailin come here." Maura yelled from the roof.

Cailin came outside to see the dish had been cleared. She was amazed that Maura helped her. Maura told her to test the TV. Cailin went back inside to test it out. She came back outside with a smile.

"It works Maura. Come down so you can warm up." Cailin said.

"I got to pack up then I'll come in. Go back inside." Maura said.

Cailin went back inside and began to make hot chocolate for her sis.

10 Minutes later

Hope Martin pulls into her driveway after running some errands. As she gets out of the car she sees a figure on the roof. She quietly walks so the figure doesn't notice her.

"Who is…?" Hope started as she saw the figure putting stuff away. Thinking it was a burglar (for Maura was covered and her face had a mask on for protection and warmth) Hope ran inside scared.

Cailin Martin was quietly watching TV when Hope burst through the door.

"Mom?! You're back early. I-" Hope cut her off by placing a hand over Cailin's mouth.

"Shh. Honey there's a burglar on the roof." Hope whispered.

Cailin was confused then remembered that Maura had all black on and a ski mask. She also knew Maura wouldn't know that Hope had seen her. Cailin moved Hope's hand.

"Mom that's not a burglar. It's-"

CRASH! A large crash was heard outside the house. For a moment there was silence and neither moved then…

"OOOWWWWWWW!"

Another few moments of silence…

BAM! "DAMNIT!"

Cailin started to leave but Hope grabbed her arm and shook her head. Hope then grabbed a knife from the kitchen and walked outside. Cailin started to explain again but her mom was stuck in her ways.

Hope slowly walked around the back to see the "burglar" out like a light. But who walked and hit the pole of the house before falling on their back into the snow. Hope took the bag and looked through it seeing a foldable steel snow rake, an ice picker and a pair of gloves. Looking around she saw the ladder from the shed was on the ground and the person must have slipped from the roof and landed on the exposed cement laying under it.

"What the hell?"

Cailin took the mask off Maura's face and blood in the snow. She waved her hands and shook her to wake her up but it didn't work. Hope appeared behind Cailin and gasped. The person on her roof wasn't a burglar but her recovering daughter Maura Isles. She moved Cailin out of the way and tried to examine Maura.

Maura had a cut on her head, an injury to her side and a broken leg. Cailin called 911 and said that Maura fell off the roof.

"Can we bring her inside mom?" Cailin asked with concern for her older sister.

"No she might have a head injury." Hope said as she was in medical mode.

"Why the hell is she even here?" "I mean she's supposed to be at home recovering." Hope said concerned that Maura might have injured something badly.

"Umm… she wanted to see me." Cailin said hoping that would be enough.

"Cailin." Hope said sternly not buying the story for a second.

"Alright. I thought I broke the TV but I couldn't get a guy to fix it till Monday so I called Maura and she helped me. She cleared the dish of the snow and ice but she said she knew what she was doing I'm sorry I didn't think she would fall…" Cailin felt terrible for what happened to Maura.

"Aww Cailin honey it's ok." Hope said.

"No it's not I was stupid and now she's hurt." Cailin started to cry. She saw Maura's bone sticking out through her leg and got sick. Hope felt hopeless. One daughter that she treated horribly is hurt and another feels guilty. She wanted to help Cailin but couldn't leave Maura's injuries to comfort her. The EMT sirens got louder as time progressed…

Cailin knew she had to make up to Maura. She treated her like shit but Maura saved her life and now 2 months after surgery Maura once again saved her ass but got even more injured this time. She promised herself that she would make it up to Maura, but how?

The sirens ring louder as the evening begins in Boston…
