She woke up to a severe pain in her side. She tried to turn onto her back but she was trapped to the bed by a long olive skinned, well toned arm. She had a headache like nothing she has ever felt before and she was freezing. Once she was fully awake she realized she was naked in her bed and that the pain in her side was someone else's eleow. She lifted her head up and looked next to her and saw a head of dark curly hair, also with no clothes on. Silently the blonde started to panic. What had happened? Did she really drink that much last night at the christmas party? Wait, that was not the real issue at hand. She needed to get out of bed and get dressed before Jane woke up. Suddenly Maura felt the detective starting to stir next to her. Maura pretended she was still asleep, but Jane knew that she wasn't.

"Maur, I know you're awake. I also know that you're over thinking everything right now. Before you even start, I want you to know that I don't regret what happened last night. I have loved you for a long time and I am glad that you finally admitted to loving me too." Jane stated.

"Look at me, sweetie." Jane said softly while moving a blonde strand of hair out of the ME's face.

Maura slowly lifted her head up. "You, you know that I love you? I told you that I loved you? You don't regret what happened last night? I do…."

Immediately tears started to well up in Jane's eyes. Maura suddenly realized that what she said came off wrong. Jane quickly got out of bed and started to get dressed.

"Jane, I didn't mean it like that. I don't regret it in the way you think. I love you so much, I have loved you for so long. I regret it in the way that I was drunk last night and I don't remember making love last night. I could never regret sleeping with you. Jane, please don't go." A crying Maura desperately said. She had waited so long to tell Jane she loved her, that she wasn't about to lose it all now.

The brunette slowly started to put her pants down, that she still had in her hand, and climbed back onto the bed next to the ME. "So, you don't regret having sex with me?"

"Never." Maura whispered as she moved in to place a kiss on the detective's lips. "I would never. I love you too much."

"I love you too. So, where do we go from here?" Jane said into the kiss.

"Well, I think you should first tell me how this happened, seeing as I don't remember it, and then you let me make love to you."

Jane laughed at the gorgeous blonde laying next to her in the bed. "Okay, I can do that. Well, it all started when you told me you loved me and then kissed me under the mistletoe….."

End.
