This one came to me on my way home from class listening to The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus' Face Down. What if Maura had married Garret but he still did what he did. Including kill his brother. This is what came to me. I hope you like it. I'm hoping I can keep it lighter than the stuff I've written recently. Don't forget to review. Thanks. :)

Dr. Maura Isles-Fairfield sat at her desk going over a report when Detective Jane Rizzoli came into her office. They greeted each other with smiles.

"What can I do for you detective," Maura asked.

"Just checking to see if you were done with the Evans report."

"I'm going over it now. Give me a moment." Jane nodded.

"No problem. I needed a break anyway. Korsak is on a puppy marathon on youtube and Frost is gone for the weekend for a wedding in New York. I can only take the cute noises and barking for so long." Maura nodded.

"Do you have any weekend plans," she asked Jane.

"Nothing besides vegging out in front of the TV with my dog and going to Ma's sunday for family dinner. You?"

"My husband is away for the weekend on business in Milan. I may catch up on some reading. Perhaps spend some time at my brother-in-law's pantry."

"Sounds good. Mr. Fairfield working on a new line," Jane asked. Maura shrugged.

"I believe so. He hasn't discussed his business with me." Jane grinned.

"Oh, what happened to what's mine is your's." Maura smiled.

"Me and Garret agreed to keep our family trust and any businesses we own separate."

"Wow, your taxes must be a nightmare." Maura chuckled.

"Thats why we have our accounting firm to handle such things."

"Of course you do." Maura signed the report and handed it to Jane. "Thank you," she said as she took it.

"You welcome, detective." Jane headed for the door and Maura turned to start on the next report. Jane paused at the door, turning back to the M.E.

"Hey, doc." Maura looked to her. "I know its not your scene but if your interested maybe you'd like to join me and Korsak for a drink after work. To celebrate us catching the bad guy." Jane put on her most charming smile. Maura returned the smile.

"I'd like that detective. I've never been to a cop bar before." Jane chuckled. "Come get me when you're ready to leave." Jane nodded.

"Sure thing." She smiled brightly as she turned to leave the morgue.

"So what's got you in such a good mood," Korsak asked. He'd noticed Jane seemed happier today. She had even been humming a little as she typed on her computer.

"What do you mean," she asked without looking at him.

"You're in a good mood, espcially for a day spent typing up reports." Jane shrugged. "When you came in I thought you were going to be grumpy all day. Then you came back with that report from...Dr. Isles." Jane refused to turn to look at him. She knew he was giving her that grin. "So how is the good doctor...that you don't have a crush on." Jane finally turned to face him with a death glare.

"So did you ask her out," he asked. Jane rolled her eyes.

"She's married, Vince," she told him. Korsak scoffed.

"Didn't stop my second wife." Jane shook her head as she turned back to the computer.

"I asked her to go out to drinks with us, okay. She excepted. Thats all that happened. I just want to be her friend."

"You mean you'll settle for being her friend," Korsak said. Jane turned back to glare at him.

"I get it, Korsak. Okay. I've fallen for someone so out of my league she's in another galaxy. I get that. Do you have to rub it in all the time." She stood up. "God. No wonder you can't keep a wife. You're an ass. She jerked her jacket off the back of her chair. "I'm going to lunch." She left Korsak frowning and feeling very much an ass.

Jane ended up at a cafe down the street. She grabbed a table near the back and set down with her coffee. She was lost in her thoughts until she heard a familiar voice. She looked up to see Maura standing next to her with a cup of coffee. She smiled.

"Hello, Detective. May I join you," she asked. Jane nodded.

"Yeah. Take a seat." Jane motioned to the chair across from her. Maura sat down in the seat.

"You looked upset. Are you okay?" Jane nodded again.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Korsak was just being an ass."

"Oh." Maura sipped her coffee.

"What," Jane asked. Maura gave her a questioning look. "You made a face."

"Yes, I'm sorry. I just...hate curse words," she told her. "Especially someone as intelligent as you detective." Jane smiled brightly.

"For that compliment you get to call me Jane," she said. "And I'll try not to curse around you. Though I can't make any promises when I get a few beers in me." They both chuckled.

"I'll keep that in mind." Maura paused. "Um...do I have to drink beer."

"You don't like beer," Jane asked. Maura shook her head.

"I tried it once in college. I only took a few sips before I had to vomit." Jane tried not to laugh to loud.

"You threw up only after a few sips?" she shook her head.

"I prefer wine. My family owns a vineyard in Italy."

"Wow," Jane said.

"We spent summers there with my uncle who lives on the property when I was younger," Maura stated. They were fond memories.

"Wow. The only vacation my family took was to disney land when I was 12."

"Really? What was it like? I've never been."

"Really?" Maura nodded. "You amaze me, doc."

"Maura. Please."

"Maura. You've done all these big, expensive, brilliant things but you've missed a lot of little things." Maura suddenly looked very self-conscious as she looked down at her coffee. Jane reached out and took the hand that rested near her.

"Hey, thats not really a bad thing," Jane offered.

"Thank you," Maura replied, squeezing Jane's hand. Her cell interrupted them. She released Jane's hand to get it. As she turned bruises were revealed on her upper arm. Jane thought they looked like they were made by a man's hand.

"How'd you get those," she asked.

"An accident," Maura muttered as she answered the text message.

"Anything important?" Maura shook her head.

"No. Garret is just checking on me." Maura smiled and it was the first fake one Jane had seen her put on. "He worries about me. Especially when he's away."

"He...um...must love you very much." Maura nodded.

"He does. He bought me a new Lexus last week. He knows it my favorite car." Again she put on that smile. Jane gave her a small smile. She gripped her coffee. Letting the warmth calm her.

"Do you have any children," she asked.

"No," Maura said with a shake of her head. "He's not ready yet. Wants to spend a few more years just being married."

"So you want kids?"

"Oh yes. I've always wanted at least two. I don't want one to be alone. I was an only child so I know what its like." Jane smiled as Maura's real smile returned.

"Its not so great, believe me. I have two younger brothers. You may have met Frankie. He's a uni right now but he'll take his detective exam soon."

"Was your father a officer?"

"No. Pop is a plumber," she said proudly. Maura smiled.

"And you're other brother." Jane's smile faded a bit.

"Yeah. Our black sheep. Me and Frankie become cops and he goes to jail. He was put away fro his third DUI and for hitting a priest while under the influence."

"Oh, I'm sorry. That must be hard."

"Yeah. At least no one was killed. He's doing really good. Should be out in a year. I write him now and then."

"Do your fellow detectives have an issue with your younger brother being a criminal?"

"If they do they don't say anything. We can all be pretty rough with each other but we know there's a line. No one talks about Tommy or you know..." Jane held up her hands. Maura looked at the scars.

"I heard about your...encounter with the sergeant. I hate that people call him that. He was not a doctor. He is a monster. He's in jail, correct?" Jane nodded as she replaced her hands around her cup.

"Yeah. Unfortunately the good doctors had to save his sorry ass." Jane winced. "Sorry. Maura waved her off.

"Don't be. I think the situation warrants such words. They fell into comfortable silence for a while. Eventually Jane looked down at her watch.

"I have to get back." She stood up. "It was nice...talking to you. We should do lunch more often. I enjoy the company." Maura stood. She smiled at Jane. The smile made Jane's knees a little weak. She was so beautiful.

"I'd like that." She was distracted by her cell going off again. This time it was a call. She looked up at Jane. The fake smile was back. "I'd offer to walk back but I really must take this call." Jane nodded. She watched Maura head toward the exit as she answered the phone.

"Hello, honey," she greeted. Somehow Jane didn't think Maura was the 'honey' type. She observed Maura through the windows as she went to the register for two coffees to go.

"Garret, I'm sorry. Please don't be angry." Jane heard her as she left the cafe. "I was having coffee with a co-worker. A detective. No Garret, not a male. There are women detectives." Maura was trying not to cry. "I would never cheat on you. I love you." Jane could see the tears. "Yes. No. I'm sorry. You know I can't help the crying. Of course not. Okay. I..." Maura pulled back the phone to look at it. "I love you," she whispered to a dead line. Jane headed over to her.

"Hey, since I'm still here and you're done lets walk back together." Maura smiled.

"Sorry. I cry easily. It can be...annoying." Jane gave her a smile.

"I don't think so. Come on." The two women walked back to the precinct together and in silence.

"Well I'll come get you after shift," Jane said as they stood in front of the elevators. Maura tuned to her.

"Um...I need to cancel. I don't think Garret would be pleased if I went to a bar alone." Jane's face fell.

"But you won't be. Me and Korsak would keep the others off you."

"I'm sorry, Jane." Maura's elevator arrived. "Maybe next time," she said as she stepped inside. The door closed leaving a very disappointed Jane.

"Jane," Korsak said when she returned. She placed the coffees on his desk. "I'm sorry for upsetting you, earlier. I don't mean nothing by it. You know you're like a daughter to me." He saw the look in her eyes. "What's wrong," he asked. He hadn't seen such sadness in her brown eyes for some time.

"I think Maura's husband is abusing her," she said. The force of saying it out loud made her sit down. Korsak sat down in his own chair. "I'm worried about her." She shook her head. Neither knowing what to do really.

I hope to not take to long to update. I so should have been doing my homework but my muse would not shut up. Lol. I hope you liked. Review please. :)
