Jane Rizzoli was in a terrible mood and had been for days. Everyone that knew Jane was aware that the only person who could get rid of Jane's bad mood was her best friend, Doctor Maura Isles.
There was just one problem, Maura was away at a conference and wouldn't be back for another week.
Jane checked her phone again, hoping for a message from her best friend, but still nothing. She knew Maura had only been gone for a couple of days but she still missed her terribly.
Jane looked at the clock; it was finally time for her to go home. She leaned her head back and released a breath she didn't realize she had been holding.
She stood up from her chair and grabbed all of her things. Jane had started to walk out of the building as Frost ran after her and caught her arm.
"Aren't you going to go to the Robber with us tonight Jane?"
Jane moved her arm out of Frosts grasp and then started walking towards the exit, motioning for Frost to follow.
"No, not tonight, I'm not really feeling up to going out. I'm just going to go home and relax."
"We always go to the Robber on Fridays, Jane. What's going on with you? You've been acting weird lately. Is it because the doc isn't here?"
"No, it's not, just back off Frost." Jane said in a clearly pissed off tone.
"Alright, geez, I was just asking," Frost said in a soft tone in an attempt to not anger his partner anymore, "I have to go finish up some paperwork. Have a good weekend."
"Thanks, Frost. You too," and with that, Jane walked out of the building.

Twenty minutes later, Jane arrived at home. She walked in, grabbed a beer, and plopped down on the couch.
For some reason, Jane had a major knot in her stomach. She groaned and then leaned forward to pick up her phone and text Maura.
Hey, when do you come home again? –J
Jane sat there staring at her phone screen waiting for a reply from Maura. After about five minutes, Jane figured that Maura wasn't going to reply so she put her phone down and then turned on the TV.
Jane woke up to the sound of her phone ringing. She slowly sat up and then reached for her phone.
"Hello?" She mumbled into the phone, voice still groggy from being asleep.
"Hello Jane," Maura said softly into the phone realizing that she had woke the detective up, "sorry for waking you."
Jane woke up instantly at hearing the sound of Maura's voice.
"No, it's okay. I didn't mean to fall asleep anyway. How's your conference?" Jane asked, trying to keep the excitement out of her voice.
"It's okay; I have not been feeling well lately though. And I seem to be having a hard time falling asleep as well."
Jane began to worry, Maura was hardly ever sick and she usually never had trouble sleeping.
"Maur, maybe you should come back home. There will be plenty of other conferences that you can enjoy when you are feeling well again. You have no one to help take care of you there, I think you should come home." Jane stated in a calm tone.
Jane looked over at the clock, 7:45. Apparently, she had been asleep longer than she thought. She was glad Maura had woke her up from her nap. She turned her attention back to her phone call, Maura still hadn't said anything.
"I want to stay at the conference though Jane," Maura said quietly in a slightly deflated tone.
"Well if you won't come back here so someone can take care of you then I'm coming there," Jane stated, her voice leaving no room for argument, "I'll be on the first flight out."
Maura smiled to herself, she couldn't believe that Jane was flying to D.C. just because she was worried about her.
"Okay, Jane. Text me with your flight information and I'll pick you up from the airport. I'll see you soon."
Jane smiled to herself, "Okay, I'll see you soon, Maur. Bye."
"Bye Jane."

An hour later, Jane was in a cab on her way to the airport. Angela had agreed to watch Joe and she wasn't on call this weekend.
Jane reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone to text Maura.
Hey, my flight leaves at 10 so I should be there between 11:15 and 11:30 –Jane
Maura had been waiting for Jane's text about her flight information. As soon as she heard her phone vibrate she shot up from where she was sitting and reached for her phone.
The medical examiner read Jane's text and smiled, her favorite detective would be with her soon.
Okay, I'll meet you at the airport. Have a safe flight.

An hour and fifteen minutes later Maura was anxiously awaiting Jane's arrival at the airport.
Maura was standing outside the terminal looking for any signs that a flight had landed. A few minutes later, she recognized Jane's dark, curly hair and lean frame in the crowd that had just arrived.
The medical examiner put her hand up, hoping the detective could see her in the sea of people.
"Jane!"
The detective heard Maura call her name and looked around, trying to find the honey blonde.
Jane eventually locked eyes with the medical examiner and smiled widely. She started to walk towards where Maura was standing.
As soon as she was close enough Maura wrapped her arms around Jane's waist and hugged the detective tightly. Jane chuckled as she wrapped her arms around Maura, "Hey Maur."
They let go of each other and started walking towards Maura's rental car. As Maura took the keys out of her purse Jane snatched them from her hand.
"Hey!" Maura yelled, as she looked up at Jane with an open mouth.
Jane smirked, "I'm driving, you're sick." The whole reason I came down here was to take care of you and that's what I'm going to do. Now, get in the car."
With that, Jane opened the door and got into the car. Maura stood there with her mouth opened wide for a minute, shocked at how over protective yet caring Jane was being.
Maura was broken out of her thoughts when Jane opened the passenger door for her.
Jane looked at Maura with questioning eyes, "Are you going to get in?" Jane asked softly.
"Yeah," Maura mumbled, "I'm coming."

"What do you mean there isn't a room available?" Jane asked loudly, her voice laced with anger. "I called a couple of hours ago and was told that there were rooms available!"
"I'm sorry miss, people must have checked into the rooms that you were told were available," the man at the front desk explained.
"Shit," Jane murmured as she ran her hand through her hair, "Where am I supposed to stay now?
"Jane," Maura said softly as she put her hand on Jane's arm, "You can stay in my room, it's not like we haven't shared a bed before."
"Are you sure, Maur?" Jane questioned. "I don't want to be invading your space. I can go stay at another hotel."
"I'm sure, Jane. My room is plenty big for the two of us."
Jane smiled and wrapped an arm around Maura for a quick hug. "Thanks Maura, You're the best."
"I know!" Maura said with a wink. "Now, let's go up to the room."

"Oh my god, Maura! This place is huge!" Jane exclaimed with wide eyes as she wandered through the hotel room.
Maura chuckled, "come unpack. I'll give you a tour when you're done doing that. Do you want me to help?"
"No," Jane commanded, "now go lie down. I almost forgot that the reason I'm here is to take care of you."
Maura rolled her eyes and then went and sat down on the bed.
"Maura Dorthea Isles! Did you just roll your eyes at me?" Jane asked while laughing.
"I don't know Detective, did I?" Maura questioned with a sly smile on her face.
Jane chuckled, "you can be such a goofball sometimes. Now, stop distracting me so I can finish unpacking and then start to take care of you."
Maura turned some soft music on and then laid down on the bed.
Jane was quietly humming alone to the music that was playing while she was unpacking when she turned around and saw that Maura had fallen asleep while waiting for her to finish unpacking.
The detective smiled to herself and then stood up from her place where she was sitting on the floor. She quietly walked over to where the honey blonde was sleeping and gently sat down beside her.
Jane smiled and moved a piece of hair that had fallen in Maura's face behind her ear. Carefully, Jane removed the shoes Maura was wearing and set them on the floor.
Gently, she managed to slip the doctors sleeping body underneath the comforter.
Jane brushed the hair out of Maura's face one last time before softly kissing the top of her head.
Jane looked down at the sleeping form again and smiled, "God, I've missed you Maura."
