More Than Life Itself

Hey Rizzlers, here's a little something I put together after watching Rizzoli & Isles the other day. Hope you enjoy :)))

There is most likely going to be no smut in this fic, just a little violence and fluffiness. (Never say never though, I'm not sure how long it's going to go on for ;D)

Of course, none of the characters belong to me, I'm simply borrowing them from TNT for a little while so I can write a slightly painful fanfic

Let me know what you think, also feel free to follow my tumblr: rizzoliandislesing

Chapter 1

"Hmmm mmmm hmmm mmm." Maura hummed quietly as she examined the latest victim that had been brought into her lab; a 23 year old male that had been shot twice in the chest, and once in the head.

She wasn't usually this cheery whilst dissecting human corpses but since marrying the love of her life, Jane Rizzoli, 2 weeks ago she couldn't keep the smile off her face.
Every time she thought of Jane's stunningly beautiful face smiling at her with those cute little dimples, or imagined her smokey voice telling her that she loved her, her heart melted and her whole body tingled with love and happiness. Maura couldn't quite believe how happy she was, she never though her life could be this perfect and now that it was, she was just enjoying relishing in it.

She was just about to examine the victim's heart when the door of her lab swung open. She swung her head round in shock to see who had caused some pretty huge palpitations in her chest.
She wasn't all that shocked though to see that it was Sergeant Korsak who had entered, it wasn't abnormal for him to be down here in the lab; though it was usually Jane that came crashing in at inappropriate times and disturbing her work, though Maura didn't mind that one bit. Saying this though, Korsak didn't look his usual laid back self, he looked panicked.

"Sergeant Korsak? What's the matter?"

Korsak struggled to catch his breath, "Maura...it's...it's...it's Jane."

Panic shot through Maura's body like a lightening bolt,

"Oh my god, is she ok? What happened?!"

Korsak was still trying to catch his breath, he had obviously been running for a while.

"Korsak! Where is she?"

"Hospital."

The second that word escaped Korsak's lips, Maura was ripping her gloves off her hand and heading for the lab exit.

"I...I tried to call you but there was no reception."

Maura didn't even hear what Korsak was saying, all she could hear was the sound of her pulse thumping loudly in her ears. She was out the door and running towards her car within no time. Tears had begun to stream down her face and her heart felt as though it was going to explode at any second. She could hear the faint sound of Korsak running behind her as she reached down into her pocket to retrieve her car keys.

"Maura! Wait!"

She unlocked her car and climbed in, Korsak reached the car just in time to jump in. Maura didn't bother to put her seatbelt on, she was focused on getting there. She didn't have a clue what had happened to her wife...her beautiful, beautiful wife...but she couldn't bare the thought of Jane being alone.
She managed to stop crying as she sped onto the main road, she needed to be strong for Jane.

"Careful Maura you don't wanna get pulled over."

"I know I know sorry, can you tell me what happened... is she ok?"

Maura dreaded the answer to that last question, the possibility that the answer might be no made her feel like a knife was being plunged into her heart.

"She's...she's alive, but she's not good Maura."

The relief that washed over Maura was closely followed by devastation that Jane was, as feared, not ok.

"They got her, I don't know how but they got her."

"Who Korsak? Who got her?"

"These guys that we've been after for a while. They killed 4 young women in a row...you remember the girls? They were all in their 20s, blonde hair, all beaten and strangled to death?"

"Yes yes I remember."

A particularly hard case for Maura as they had left no evidence whatsoever for her to work with, Maura remembered Jane being very involved with this case. Sometimes Jane gets like that, she lets the cases get to her and gets emotionally involved with the killers and the victims. Maura hated seeing her distressed by cases but her dedication to justice just made Maura love her even more, sometimes she couldn't believe how much she loved Jane, it was almost ridiculous.

"Well, Jane got a lead. She found them. I told her, I told her to wait for me and the back up team but you know what she's like. She went in but she mustn't have realised how many there were, hell, I didn't even realise how many of those sons of bitches there were."

"Korsak...what did they do to her?"

Just saying these words made Maura shiver with fear, they came across some sadistic sociopaths in their line of work and Maura didn't even want to think about them doing to Jane what some of the criminals she had encountered through the years had done to their victims. Victims. Maura couldn't bare to think of her Jane as a victim, her Jane was a hero...a saviour of victims.

Korsak was silent.

"Korsak!?"

The panic was taking over Maura's body now, causing her hands to shake a little as they did their best to hold onto the steering wheel.

"They beat her up bad Maura. They broke her right leg in a few places and her face is pretty beaten up. Then they...they..."

"Korsak."

"They shot her...3 times in the stomach." Korsak's voice broke a little in that last sentence, you could hear his devastation in every word he spoke.

"I'm sorry Maura I'm so so sorry, I should of been there to protect her."

Maura broke down in tears as she pulled into the hospital car park. She cried and cried, screaming out as if she was in pain.

"I can't do it Vince, I can't live without her!" She buried her head into her hands and shook her head.

'This has to be a dream, this can't be real...not my Jane...not my Jane'

Korsak leaned over and put his arm round the sobbing Maura, tears now escaping his eyes.

"Hey, don't say that you might not have to. Jane is strong, she'll get through this. She's gotten through everything else in her life right?"

Maura sniffled and looked up at Korsak.

"She is strong."

Korsak attempted a smile and nodded his head.

"I need to be with her." Maura swung the car door opened and climbed out, closely followed by Korsak.

'She's going to be fine...she's going to be fine.'

All Maura wanted to do right now was hold Jane in her arms and tell her that she was there, tell her that she would always be there no matter what. But most of all, tell her that she loved her, tell her that she loved her more than anything; more that life itself.
