I don't own anything except Hannah and plot line.
Just a short two shot, not fluffy, as you might have guessed. Don't read if you don't like vaguely tragic stories.
I would say I hope you all enjoy, but yeahh...
Just something I whipped up in my free period last lesson, so its a little shitty but I've been considering writing something in this genre for a while and I finally had a moment.
Oh, and anyone reading One Year - I will be posting the next chapter soon, did you all like my cliffhanger?;D okay, onto the story!
She didn't have long. Maura knew it. No one would say it, but they knew. One by one they had come in, some to just how she was doing, and left promises to come back once she awoke. Most however, came to say goodbye. No-one wanted to say it, but everyone knew.
Maura hugged her daughter tighter in her arms. It wasn't supposed to be like this...
A dark morning in Boston, Jane did not want to get up. However a call about a body had forced her awake. She dropped the phone on the bedside table and rolled over to face Maura. She placed a few light kisses on Maura's face, watching as Maura fought for some more sleep. Finally Maura's eyes flickered open, sleepily.
"Morning beautiful."
Maura's sleepy pout quickly morphed into a smile at the sight of her wife laid above her. Jane leaned over and placed a chaste kiss on Maura's lips before quickly pulling away.
"Morning." She yawned and stretched as Jane got out of bed. She watched as Jane walked over to the closet, pulling out clothes.
The pieces came together in Maura's head.
"You got a body?"
Jane visibly deflated. She hated having this conversation with Maura. It was always awkward. As much as Maura wanted to stay at home with their daughter she couldn't help but miss work. It was her thing. Jane knew, and she also knew that as much as Maura wanted to be back at work, if she came back to work she'd miss Hannah too much. Even going shopping without Hannah bothered Maura, so a whole day without, Jane knew she couldn't do.
"Yeah…"
Maura nodded, but ultimately remained silent, the few times they had discussed work it had ended up in an argument.
Jane dressed quickly as Maura got up, determined to get a shower before their daughter woke. However, it appeared it wasn't on the cards as Hannah began crying as Maura walked through the bathroom door.
Maura leaned out the door, shooting a begging look to Jane.
Jane caught the look.
"Fine…."
She sluggishly headed off in the direction of the nursery. Jane loved Hannah, but she hated sorting Hannah out before going for a body, she always had to change her shirt after sorting her.
Jane swung into the nursery pulling a crying Hannah from her crib and grabbing the few items she needed.
20 minutes later Hannah was fed, changed, burped and asleep in her crib downstairs as Maura read the paper at the breakfast bar.
Jane changed quickly out of her soiled shirt and grabbed a clean one from the wardrobe. She dashed downstairs with the key for the lockbox in the hall. She opened it and grabbed her gun and badge quickly before throwing her jacket on.
She made a quick detour to see Hannah before meeting Maura in the kitchen, who shot her a vaguely pissed off look. Jane had seen it enough times when Maura was pissed at her for something or other.
"Sorry baby, I hate being out of here all the time, but till this bastards caught I can't do anything."
Maura nodded but ultimately kept reading the paper.
Jane decided to try a different tactic.
She leaned down, sweeping Maura's hair to one side, placing light kisses across Maura's neck. Maura sighed but kept pretending to read the paper.
Jane kept up with her efforts, biting gently occasionally until Maura moaned softly. Jane slipped her hands around Maura's waist and eventually Maura turned to face Jane.
Jane took her opportunity and immediately sought out Maura's lips. Surprisingly Maura met Jane halfway, taking no time for a chaste kiss, going straight in for a deep kiss.
It wasn't long till Jane pulled away, breathless.
"Jesus Maur…"
"Hmmm."
Maura played it off, standing and turning to face away from Jane so she couldn't see the flush spreading across her chest.
Jane took a moment to catch her breath before turning and heading towards the door. Maura met her by the door with Jane's keys and some coffee in a take away mug.
She took one look at Maura's swollen lips and dark eyes, "We are definitely continuing this tonight." Jane winked before turning and heading towards her car.
The crime scene was basic, rather what Jane had come to expect from the guy they were trying to get. A simple death; GSW to the lower back and then one through the back of the head.
Jane took a moment, looking around for anything unusual when she spotted the paper in the victims pockets. She fished it out, quickly scanning it.
In the alley, 10:15pm.
Tuesday.
Jane turned, looking for the closest alleyway, she spotted it across the road. She slipped her gun from the holster before finding Frost and informing him where she was going.
Frost yelled that he'd be over in a moment.
Jane jogged over to the alleyway, slipping through the trash cans. She headed towards the back, intent on finding something to help them solve this. She was so into finding something she never heard the person behind her, nor did she see the shadow. What she did notice however was the sudden searing pain in her lower back. She spun, her head suddenly light and her legs like jelly. As she fell she saw him, dressed in black standing behind her, twisting the silencer on and off of his gun as he waited for her to fall.
Jane tried to move, the pain unbearable.
She yelled, but she couldn't quite make her voice loud enough.
She lay there as he stood over her, pointing the gun towards her head.
"Goodbye Detective…"
Jane lay there, closed her eyes, thinking only of Maura and Hannah she heard him take aim.
"Goodbye Maura," Was the last thing she thought before she heard the shot and everything went black.
There we are guys - end of this chapter.
What do you all think? Good? Bad? Loving it? Hating it? Need more? Or should I scrap it? If there's interest I'll post the next chapter in a couple of days, if there's not interest I probably won't. I've got a lot of work to do, so if there's no interest I won't bother putting a lot of time and effort into it...I know it sounds bad, but in the midst of A-levels I don't have a lot of free time.
So, do you want to see what happens?
