Maura slammed her fist into the bag. Her knuckles bleeding into the bandages. She growled as she kept punching harder and harder.

"Maura. Relax ok? you're going to hurt yourself."

Maura ignored her. Cailin sighed from her spot on the floor. Maura needed to get the stress out. This case…It was too much… too much. She undid the bandages and punched harder. Blood spattered on the mat. Cailin have had enough, she stood and grabbed her sister's fist.

"Maura." She whispered. She felt the warm blood trickle onto her own hand.

Maura growled and shoved her sister off her. She licked the blood off her hand and turned to face the wall. She felt the younger woman's arms around her and shook violently. She sighed and turned to face the woman.

"Maura…"

"This case…it's so painful."

Cailin smiled and held Maura's bleeding hands. She kissed them softly and looked up at Maura with tears in her eyes. Maura held her and Cailin hid in Maura's chest.

"I know. Please there has to be something I can do." The student said softly.

Maura pulled away. She couldn't taint Cailin's heart. Not being the child of a monster.

"Paddy." Maura whispered under her breath.

"What?" Cailin asked.

Maura slammed her hand into wall. Cailin sighed and came closer.

"Stay away from me!" Maura growled defensively.

Cailin came closer. She pinned Maura to the wall, using her weight to push onto the ME.

"Cailin..." Maura warned.

"I don't care."

"What?"

"I don't care that you are Doyle's kid."

"How can you love a monster like me?"

Maura felt a sting on her cheek. Her face was slapped. Hard. Maura coughed up blood while Cailin panted hard.

"I love you because you are my sister."

"But…"

"I'll get you to see that even if I have to break every bone in your body."

Maura growled and then smirked.

"What a cheeky little punk."

Maura tackled her to the ground and pinned her. Cailin gasped scared before pulling Maura close and kissing her forehead.

"I love you." Cailin whispered.

Maura looked away unable to accept that statement. Cailin smiled and placed Maura's hand on her heart.

"I trust you. You are my family. You aren't a monster."

"But…"

Maura stood and panted. It wasn't true. She was a monster…she couldn't let Cailin get tainted by her. She saw Cailin stripping out of the corner of her eye.

"What are you doing?"

"See the scars on my body?"

"No."

"Exactly, you have never hurt me and you never will."

"I…"

Cailin closed the distance between them and looked in Maura's eyes. Maura backed away into the table. Cailin smirked and went to get a robe and Maura's medical bag. Maura tilted her head confused but happy that Cailin put some clothes on. Cailin dragged them to the couch.

Maura gasped when Cailin took out a scalpel.

"What are you do...?"

Cailin cut across her palm and held her hand up.

"Your turn." She said.

Maura looked at the girl hesitantly but did it anyway. She whimpered and waited. Cailin smirked and grabbed Maura's hand.

"We are sisters… got it?"

"I…"

Cailin grabbed Maura and kissed her hand, licking the blood away from her cut.

"You are so dense sometimes Maura."

"Why you…"

Maura grabbed her bag and stitched Cailin's palm before stitching her own.

"Going to take a shower." Maura said.

"I need one too."

"Can't you wait."

"Its big enough and don't you want to save water and reduce your water bill."

"You won't take no for an answer will you."

Cailin grinned a goofy expression.

"Sigh. Fine… come on…"

Maura dragged her into the shower and shut the door.
