Ello all! We are back! And we are coming back with a little kick. This fanfic starts just after the end of 6X07. We hope you like it :)

"Janie, what are you going to do now?" Angela asks as Jane leans into Frankie's side as the others stand around the couch that Maura bought her.

"I can just crash at Frankie's I guess." Shifting her body so that she can look him in the eye. "You wouldn't mind right?"

"Of course not Jane, only…" Frankie shifts in his seat, looking a little uncomfortable, "I'm so sorry Jane. My old roommate from college is already crashing with me. He's in town on some business and needed a place to stay."

Leaning her head against the back of the couch, "Well crap. I guess I really am sleeping here on this couch. What a day. All I wanted to do is sleep."

"I have a guest room at my house." Maura pipes up smiling over at Jane, "You can stay with me for as long as you need."

"Oh Maura, are you sure?" sitting up straighter in her seat. "I don't want to inconvenience you"

"Do you really think it would be an inconvenience Jane? You're already at my house most the time anyway." Maura pauses. "I wouldn't have offered if it was going to be an inconvenience"

"I guess that's true. We do have a problem though…" Jane said smiling to herself.

"What might that be?" Maura said shifting from one foot to the other.

"What are we going to do with this couch you just had to buy me?"

"I could put it in storage?" Maura suggests, "At least until your apartment gets fixed or you find a new one?"

"Alright that sounds good!"

Opening the door to her house, Maura steps aside and lets Jane enter before her.

Turning a looking over her shoulder as she puts her purse down on Maura's couch, "I can't thank you enough for this Maur. Really. There has to be something I can do for you."

"It's no problem." Maura said as she walks past Jane into the kitchen. "You don't owe me anything. You have done the same thing for me…" opening her refrigerator. "At least I hope." Turning to glance over her shoulder, "Beer?"

"You truly are my best friend." Jane says walking over to take the beer Maura grabbed from the fridge. "Thanks. This will hit the spot after today."

"Who else would put up with you?" Maura says as she gives Jane a smirk.

"Hey!" Jane says placing her hand over her heart. "That's offensive you know. People happen to love me."

"Right because you make the best first impressions" Maura said as she pours herself a glass of wine.

"Of course I do! What are you talking about?"

"Do you remember when we first meet Jane?" Maura said placing her glass down on the counter.

"Yeah I remember. Why?" Jane asked confused by the sudden question.

"Dressing like a hooker isn't a very good first impression." Maura said shaking her head.

"Maura you know I was undercover! That's hardly fair!"

"But I didn't know it at the time!" Maura said picking up her glass before walking towards the couch, "All I saw was a ho… hooker not being able to buy her own coffee."

"We're you about to call me a hoe?" Jane said following Maura over to the house.

"Uh… sure" Maura said taking a drink from her wine glass feeling her chest heat up.

"That doesn't sound very convincing"

"Well it's what I was going to call you."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I am sure that I was going to call you a hoe Jane" Maura said before she quickly stood up and placing her wine on her coffee table. "I'll be right back, I need to use the restroom." Rushing straight into the downstairs bathroom before locking it.

"Maur? Are you okay?" Jane called out after her friend as she rushed into the bathroom.

"Yes. I'm fine" Maura said as her voice broke as she started to itch her neck 'Crap!' Maura thought to herself as she realized that her cream was in her master bathroom. 'What am I going to do'?

"Maura?" Jane knocked on the door. "Are you okay in there? What's going on?"

Putting the toilet set down, Maura sits placing her elbows on her knee and her head in her hands. "Everything is fine Jane. Just have something in my eye." Wincing at herself for lying even more.

"Do you need any help? My mom taught me how to flush out the eyes. Whatever is in there will come right out."

"Uh no. I'm fine. I'll be out in a few."

Standing up and walking over to the bathroom door, Maura turns around and looks at herself in the mirror, noticing that she still has a couple hives on her, she sighs. 'It's now or never' Maura thinks before unlocking the bathroom door, and opening it.

"Hey are you…oh… Maur… why do you have hives?"

Maura tilts her head to the left and without looking at Jane she says sadly, "Jane, when is the only time I get hives?" Without letting Jane answer Maura walks past her to her glass of wine.

Jane follows her, confused at her friends' behavior. "When you lie… when did you lie?"

"Jane… just" walking into the kitchen, Maura places her used wine glass into the sink. "Don't" leaning into the sink with her hands on the counter, facing away from her friend.

"Don't what? I just asked a question." Pausing and giving Maura a confused look. "I'm confused. We were talking and you jumped up all quickly." Making a sudden realization, she asks quietly, "You weren't going to call me a hoe, were you?"

Signing Maura takes a moment to compose herself, before turning around with a smile that reach her eyes before quietly saying "I'm tired" pushing herself off the counter, "I think I'm just going to go to bed" moving to the other side of the kitchen, "You're welcome to stay up as long as you want. Eat anything in my kitchen and have as much beer as you want." Finally able to look Jane in the eyes, "Goodnight Jane" walking towards the stairs and walking up the without looking back at Jane.

Sighing before watching Maura walking up the stairs. "Goodnight Maura"
