Sequel to Someone Who Cares.
I do not own these characters; they belong to Tess Gerritsen, Janet Tamaro, and TNT. I have no money.. This is my imagination at work. I own nothing, except for the plot.
6 years have gone by, with Maura and Jane living in California together.
"Maura Isles." The dean called out from the stage for Maura to come accept her degree. Everyone clapped, but Jane bolted to her feet clapping as loud and as fast as she could. Maura made eye contact with Jane as she was heading to the stage to accept her degree, throwing her a huge grin, and a wink.
Jane couldn't believe it, 6 years, 6 months, and 2 days she'd known this woman. This woman was her life, her everything and she was now a doctor. She couldn't have been more proud of Maura for accomplishing her dreams after everything they'd been through. It was a great feeling to know that sometimes the good guys do win. Tears would've come from her eyes, but they'd be red, so instead she simply grinned as large as her face would allow, and clapped until Maura accepted her degree.
At the end of the ceremony Maura found Jane waiting on the sidewalk. She immediately jumped into her girlfriend's arms. Jane grabbed her as tightly as she could, one hand on Maura's back, the other on Maura's ass, keeping her up, whilst copping a feel. Maura caught Jane's lips, and grabbed her neck deepening the kiss. She pulled away, before she got too carried away in public, but she was just so happy.
"I'm so proud of you babe, if anyone deserves this, it's you." She said into her girlfriend's neck.
Maura jumped down from the embrace and stared into Jane's brown eyes. "Thanks Jane." She gave Jane a quick kiss. "Sorry, I mean, Detective Rizzoli." She smiled. "I'm proud of US, we've gotten so far."
"I love you, Maura." Jane stated, before she grabbed Maura into another hug.
"I love you Jane, so much." She whispered in Jane's ear.
Jane took in the moment before freeing Maura. "Sorry I'm still wearing my suit and my gun, and badge. I uh, I didn't have time to change."
"Don't apologize, you're here, that's all that matters. But you know that I love you in your suits, I think it's sexy, especially with that gun in your holster." She winked at Jane.
Jane opened the passenger door for Maura, before closing the door and getting into the driver's side.
"I'm glad you think so. Now, where are we off to tonight, to celebrate, my lady?"
"Strip club?"
"Seriously Maur?"
"No Jane I was kidding, I find that place disgusting. I was thinking we could just sit at home together, nothing special."
"Maur, you're officially Dr. Maura Isles. You graduated 2 years earlier than you were supposed to, less if you wanted. You've already gotten 7 job offers, and you just want to sit in the house?"
"Yes."
"Fine, as you wish madam."
"Don't be a smart ass Jane." Jane smirked.
"Hmm.. Maura Dorthea Isles swearing, I must be dreaming."
"Shut up." Maura laughed.
When they got home Jane jumped onto the kitchen counter, while Maura sat on the couch.
"Gee, this is so fun, I can't remember the last time I had this much fun."
"I swear Jane, you just can't sit still." She stated as she made her way over to Jane, standing in between Jane's spread legs looking up into Jane's eyes, and resting her hands on Jane's thighs.
"I know, especially when something this amazing happens." Jane kissed Maura's forehead. She stared into Maura's hazel eyes, she'd still get lost in them, no matter how long she'd know Maura that was one thing that would never change, the ability to get lost in those eyes. "You're so beautiful."
She pulled Jane off of the counter by her hands. "You're beautiful." She wrapped her arms around Jane's neck, pulling her into a kiss. The kiss became heated very quickly, Jane grabbed Maura's ass, causing Maura to moan into Jane's mouth. Maura moved her hands to Jane's waist, going under her shirt and caressing her back. Jane licked Maura's bottom lip, seeking for entrance, which was immediately granted. Maura moved her hands from under Jane's shirt, ripping Jane's shirt open, not caring if it tore because the shirt was 15 dollars. She broke the kiss and pulled Jane's tank top over her head. There was nothing but Jane's bra left on her upper half. She'd seen Jane naked before, numerous times. They'd been here before, numerous times too, but never completely. This time it felt different, it felt like they were going to go there. As soon as Maura threw Jane's tank top to the ground. Jane's breast were the only thing covered on the upper part of her body. She moved her to Jane's breast, cupping them. Then Jane moved her hands off of Maura's ass, and stepped back.
"Jane, baby, what's wrong?" Maura was worried that she had done something, she's touched Jane's breast many times before, so what was wrong?
"Nothing Maur, everything is perfect." She gave a small smile.
"Then why'd you move away?" Her brows furrowed.
She stepped closer to Maura, planted a chaste kiss on her lips, and grabbed Maura's hands. "I love you Maura so very much."
"I love you too Jane." Maura was confused; she had no idea where this was coming from, or where it was going.
"I love you with everything that I am; I'd give you the world if I could because I know that you deserve it. I'm completely and entirely in love with you. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to raise a family with you, and I want to be the one that you come to for everything. It feels like I've known you for a lifetime already, and I want to be with you for another lifetime. You make my heart melt every time you touch me; you make me smile the widest smile. I love you with all if my heart. And you complete me, you're my other half, my soul mate, my only. We've discussed this before.. But.."
Jane saw a red tear pour from Maura's eye. She stepped closer to her to wipe the tear away; she kissed Maura's cheek softly and got down onto one knee.
"So, Maura Dorthea Isles will you do me the honor of officially being my wife."
"Yes, yes, yes!" She practically screamed. Jane smiled; a tear came from her eye. She removed the ring she had given Maura when they were 17, and replaced it with the new one she bought.
"Jane, it's beautiful!" Maura exclaimed.
Maura took the ring Jane had given her 6 years ago and placed it on her right ring finger, she loved that ring.
"You're beautiful, and you deserve beautiful things baby." Maura wiped Jane's tear, and kissed her gently.
"I love you, God I can't even tell you how much I love you Jane, I really can't. There isn't a word to describe the way I feel for you, and I've read the dictionary." She grabbed Jane into a kiss.
Jane turned Maura around and unzipped her dress. She kissed Maura's back, before turning her around. Maura kissed her practically engulfing Jane.
Jane pulled back, placing her hands on Maura's shoulder. "Are you sure?"
