Hey guys! Thank you for all the good feed back from my last story. This is a sequel to 'The New Teacher in School' so you need to read that before you read this. I know a lot of you were expecting it to start off right where it ended, but I feel like it would flow easier starting it the way i did. It starts around four years after the last story. i know how a lot of you liked Kirsten a lot, and she is going to appear in this story as well. If anyone has any suggestions, just leave it in the review, or PM me. I think the next chapter should be ready by Tuesday or Wednesday it depends how much free time i have. Enjoy! REVIEW
"Jane, you know you have to tell her. Why not tell her after you graduate?" I asked. Jane and I were curled up on the couch of my new house soon to be our new house. I had to move because I needed to live closer to BCU than I was before, and it was bigger so Jane and I could have plenty of space. Jane, on the other hand, decided to go to the University of Massachusetts, but she was visiting before her graduation. One of the other professors that taught at UMASS invited me to the graduation for handing out a special honor award, since BCU's graduation wasn't until next weekend.
"Maura, you know I want to tell her, but I think we should wait." I nuzzled my head into the crook of her neck. "I really want to tell her, but what if she freaks out? You could get in trouble. I don't want that."
I looked up at her, "Just tell her Maura. The worst thing that could happen is that I lose my job, but I could easily take my degree and become a doctor. I want her to know, so we don't have to sneak around."
"You have no idea how badly I want to tell everyone to shout it to the whole freakin' world, but I don't think right now is a good time. Ma has been stressed lately, and she is pissed at me. I do not want her to blow a gasket because I think she is on the verge of blowing it."
"Why because of your dad and brothers?" I asked. Jane had been looking for her dad since she graduated, and she has found them, but she doesn't know whether it is best to stay away or go visit them.
"Yes, I called him yesterday, and he said he heard about all of my accomplishments. He said he has never been so proud in his life, but Frankie and Tommy were too little to remember me, and he has not told them about me. He also said that if I could make a trip down to Florida, he would introduce us, again. I told Ma over the phone, and she started yelling at me over the phone. I just hung up and didn't call her back."
"Jane, that is great that after all these years, you finally contacted your dad, and I hope you two reconnect. Maybe we could take a trip to Florida after your graduation to see him. I think that would be a fun trip for us. We could go to the beach, and there are huge malls all across Florida we could go to."
"That's a great idea Maura. We could stay for a couple weeks and meet the other half of my family because I don't start police academy until the end of July. It would all work out good for both of us." Jane kissed the top of my head.
"We could also meet with my mother because she has a gallery opening one of those weeks too. You haven't met my family yet, so I guess you can now, well my mother anyway."
"Does your mom know you're gay?" She asked.
"Well… She knows I am bisexual, but not totally gay. I don't think she will have a problem with it anyway." Jane got up from the couch. "C'mon, let's go to dinner." I grabbed her hand and pulled her back down on top of me.
"Or… we could eat leftovers, and cuddle all night before your big day." I said. She kissed me on the lips and laughed.
"Yeah, with you it is never just cuddling, and I would actually like to sleep and be well rested before graduation."
"Well do you want me to buy airline tickets to Florida; we could probably leave next Sunday after BCU's graduation, unless you want to leave earlier."
"Yeah next Sunday sounds great. I can organize everything with dad, and I can get rid of my mother within that week." I nodded. All of a sudden, Jane's phone went off in her pocket. "I have to take this; it is Kirsten." Jane walked out of the room. Kirsten grew up a lot while Jane was in Las Vegas, and when she was away at college. She was about three inches shorter than I was compared to her being waist high on me before Jane left. After a couple minutes, Jane came back into the room with a sad look on her face. "Kirsten's mom just got picked up by the police, and she said she didn't want to be by herself." Jane was rushing around picking up some of her stuff. "I am going to get her. Do you want to go with me?" She asked.
"Yeah, I do. I haven't see Kirsten in a week or so. Bring her back to my house, and you both can stay the night and ride with me in the morning." Jane grabbed her keys.
"Let's go," She said and bolted out the door. Kirsten's house was thirty minutes from my house, but we got there in about fifteen because Jane was doing about ninety on the interstate. The whole way she held onto my hand occasionally glancing at me. She pulled into the nearest parking spot to the building. "I'll be right back." She got out of the car and sprinted up the stairs. Five minutes later, Jane came down the stairs with Kirsten who was carrying an overnight bag. Kirsten got in the back seat, and Jane got in the driver's seat. "Can you sit in the back with her? She is kind of scared right now. I am going to get us something to eat, and then we will go home and discuss what happens next. She needs you Maura." I nodded and got into the back of the car next to Kirsten. Immeaditly she broke down.
Her head fell into my lap, and I started rubbing circles in her back. "It's ok; me and Jane are here for you. You can stay with us as long as you like."
"Are you two roommates or something?" She asked. I heard Jane chuckle up in the front.
"We can talk about that later, but for now just tell me whatever you feel comfortable telling me." She sat up and shrugged of what I said. "If you don't want to say anything it is ok, I understand."
"I don't think my mom is coming back from wherever they took her." I looked at her confused. "I think she goes and does bad stuff when she gets you to watch me. They took her right in front of my eyes, and I couldn't do anything to stop them. It scared me because I learned that this part of town is scary at night." I truly did feel bad for her, but what made it worse it that she was so young and has everything to live for.
"It's ok; you are safe now with Jane and me." The rest of the ride was primarily silent. Jane actually drove at a reasonable speed, and we stopped for dinner at one of the diners on the way home. When we reached our house, Jane got out and grabbed our leftovers, and we headed upstairs.
Jane and I were watching television while Kirsten took a shower and changed. Jane was holding my hand, but it was hidden were Kirsten couldn't see us if we walked in the room. "You and Kirsten can sleep in the bed, and I will take the couch." I said to Jane. There was a second bedroom, but we decided to turn it into an office when Jane stayed here, so she could study.
"No, I know how much you hate sleeping on the couch. I will sleep here, and you two can sleep in your bed." She pecked my cheek.
"You are graduating tomorrow. I want you well rested."
"Well Maura, you know what makes me sleep really well." She said as she pushed me over, so that I was lying down.
"Ja…Jane, we can't do this. Kirsten could walk out at any second." She bent over and started sucking on my neck. I tried my best to push her off, but I couldn't find the strength to. I sat up and push Jane against the arm of the couch. I whispered in her ear, "tomorrow night I will be sure that you can't move the next morning, if you listen to me. Don't touch me at all the rest of the night, or your mother will have an extra guest in her hotel room tomorrow, and I'll be all alone." Jane shuttered. I pressed my lips to her earlobe gently.
"Oh, so that is what you meant by us." A voice said out of the blue. I immeaditly jumped off of Jane and the couch. My cheeks were turning red, and my hair was all messed up. I looked over to Jane; she was just as surprised as I was.
"Yes, Maura and I are… romantically involved." Jane stated.
Kirsten giggled. "That is so sweet. I knew something was going on between you to by just the way y'all acted when Jane came up from college. When is the wedding?" She asked
"We are not for sure yet, but you will defiantly be in it."
"Yay, I have never been in a wedding before." She ran over and hugged both of us. "You guys are my best friends. I am happy for you. I can hear wedding bells already." I laughed.
"Well, you and Jane are sleeping in the bed, and it is pretty late, so you should get some rest."
"No, no… I will sleep on the couch. It is your bed anyway. I will be fine on the couch." She sat down next to me. "It's ok."
