Chapter 1
Jane and Blake were sitting on the couch in Maura's house as they had been doing in routine the past two months in preperation for Blake's big exam he had coming up to get off patrol and into the force.
"Now, on to the hard stuff, homocide! You've be watching me do it since you were little so you've got a hand up, plus you come from genius DNA! Now, if you're asked to release information about a case to anyone other than-"
"Authorizied personnal you simiply do not," Blake finished her sentence
Jane shocked by his quick answer "And why would that be Mr. SmartyPants?"
"You could be fired or even worse sent to prison, AJ I already know this stuff. We've been going over it for weeks. The quantitative portion of the exam is only worth 35 percent of the total score. Shooting precision and the physical exam are 65 percent, nearly the whole exam! Why can't we go to the gym and practice some more sparing techniquies?"
"Well your mom doesn't like it when I take you up there. She's afraid you might get hurt" Jane explained
"AJ, I'm 20 years old! My mom can't keep me a baby forever! And since when does tuff Auntie Jane listen to Dr. Isles?" The tall, young, muscular Isles mimcked to his play aunt
"Because Auntie Jane likes keeping peace between her and her best friend! Arguing with a genius is no fun!" Jane playfully shoved her play nephew
"Oh yeah? How's wrestling one, huh?" Before Jane could react the young man was on top of her, tickling her
"Not... so... HARD!" The detective flipped Blake off of her onto the hardwood floor. He was holding his back, groning in pain.
"Yeah... that'll... that'll teach you!" Jane laid on the couch trying to catch her breath
"Having fun you two?" A voice from the kitchen was heard. Jane sat up to investigate the situation as she always did
"Oh hey Maur! Just going over a few quantitative techniquies for the exam next week," still trying to catch her breath, getting up to walk to the kitchen where the strawberry blonde stood
"Then why are you having exasperated breaths? Studying quantitative techniquies does not require heavy breathing," Maura explained opening the refrigerator, taking out the ingredients needed to make dinner.
"In fact-"
"Hey you need help with that?" Jane asked reaching for the ingredients in Maura's hand
"Are you trying to change the subject?"
"What? Me? Umm.. maybe but only because I'm ready to eat, speaking of which what is that?" Pointing at one of the ingredients still in the brown paper bag
"Seitan, it is a food made from gluten, also referred to as wheat gluten."
"Ah, hey Blake,"
"Yeah AJ," Pausing Call of Duty II, which he hadn't gotten to play in weeks because of studying. He was sounding a little perturbed.
"Uhh, you wanna eat Satan?"
He turned to face Jane in the kitchen, looking a little confused "Do you mean Seitan? It's a wheat-"
"Yeah I already got the synopsis,"
"Well in that case, yeah I like it. Is that what you picked up, Mom?" He got up and started to head towards his mother to so her some affection. He wasn't a very affectionate person, only to his mother. That was a special spot in his heart that was saved just for her.
"Yes Blake, it is. I guess will have to enjoy it alone," She told him breaking from their embrace, glaring at the tall Italian
"Hey, I never said I wouldn't eat it. I just never thought I would be having Satan for dinner,"
"Seitan!" The Isles critisized in unison
"Whatever!"
After dinner was finished Blake excused himself and headed to his apartment. He knew he would have to get up early in the morning for his run. Maura asked if Jane could stay over for awhile to discuss Blake's progress with getting ready for the exam.
"Don't worry so much, Maur. He's a great kid, smart like his mom, he'll do wonderful." Jane tried to reassure her
"But what if he doesn't. I mean we've already tried so many other carrers. I would hate to have to send him to the military,"
"He's not going to the military. He's had to much trauma with his father. The police force has already done wonders for him and will continue. Just trust in the smarts you and William gave him."
"But is he getting all of the concepts? Is there anything I could help him with? I mean could we both help him? He is-"
"Maur, I said don't worry,"
"Jane, I'm a mom, I'm supossed to worry. Also, I'm getting a little tired you cutting me off in the middle of-"
"Hey are you gonna finish that?" pointing at her wine glass
"Stop!" Slapping Jane playfully on the shoulder. "Yes, I am" Tipping the rest of the glass back so that it was empty.
"Ow! And wow! I didn't even know you could chug like that!"
"College teaches you a lot. There's a lot that you don't know about me... on purpose" leaning in close grabbing her beer bottle to toss in the recycle
"Ah really? Like what?" The detective asked the strawberry blonde getting up from the bar and following her into the kitchen
"Is that relevent to our current situation Ms. Rizzoli?" The ME questioned
"Well no,-"
"Then I don't need to tell you," Cutting Jane short of her statement like she had been doing to her all day.
"Well then! I think you've been hanging with me too much," Jane stated with a straight-forward experssion. Maura started to giggle
"You're probably right. So are you staying tonight or headed home?" Maura asked
"Um, I actually hadn't thought about it. I guess I'll stay, I always sleep better here anyways" Jane smiled
"Ok then, I'm headed to bed" Maura streched her arms up
"What! It's only 10 o' clock! Are you that sleepy?"
"Yeah I am actually, Jane. I've had 6 autopsies this week and I'm really tired," Maura explained
"Well ok. I guess we'll hang out tomorrow then. I'll be up early to make sure Blake wakes up for his run,"
"Oh can I go!? I love a great Saturday morning run!" Maura got excited about the thought of getting to go running with her two favorite people. She hadn't run with Blake in a while because, he was scared his friends would make fun of him for running with his mom, the few friends he had anyway.
"Sure, I don't see why not. I love going running with you," What Jane didn't say was that she loved seeing the medical examiner in running gear. She wasn't gay or anything she just liked the way her best friend looked. When running...with skin tight leggings... cute, pink, underarmor...
"Jane?" Maura was looking at her with a strange expression, like she had been calling Jane's name or something.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"I said I'm gonna get a glass of wine. You want a beer?" Maura asked with a little fustration
"Oh um, no thanks. I'm gonna call Blake and tell him you're coming with us tomorrow so he need to wear clothes. I swear that boy, even since he was little-"
"No! No, don't tell him," Maura nearly leaped across the floor
"Woah Maur, ok I won't. Just tell me why," Jane asked, genuinaly conserned
"Well to be honest," Maura stepped closer to the taller woman, taking her hand in hand, "I think he gets embarassed when I run with him" There was shyness and embarassment in her voice
"What! I don't think so Maur. I mean what does he have to be embarssed about?" Jane glancing down at the Medical Examiner, looking at more then just her eyes
"That's the point, Jane. The last time we went running, it was just Blake and I and some of his friends saw us. They started whistling, and asking him questions like 'When'd you get that, Blake?' and 'How many times you hit that'. He did tell them to stop and that I was his mom but I knew he was still embarressed. He didn't talk to me for the rest of the morning."
"Wow Maur, I had no idea. When was this?" Jane walked them over to the island in the kitchen to have a seat
"Oh, awhile ago. Maybe two years ago? I'm not sure,"
"Oh well Blake's changed since then. He's been to basic, graduated and, been on traffic control. He's a totally different person now. I bet he's forgotten all about it, don't worry everything will go fine!" Jane reassured.
"Now let's get to bed! We have to be up early tomorrow!" Jane smiled and Maura dragged behind, wondering what tomorrow would bring.
