The sun had just started peaking through the curtains, but she had been awake since before the street lights went off. She couldn't help it after the week they had, she just didn't want to take her eyes off her sleepy beauty.

It was less than a week ago that a great man was taken from this earth far too soon and everyone was still trying to process that his bright smile wouldn't be shining at BPD again. While putting on a strong front Jane was struggling with the loss of her partner and friend. She was throwing herself into her work to keep her mind busy. However, it was those few hours when the world was sleeping that the pain set in.

A few hours prior

"Hey pretty girl," Maura spoke softly into the phone trying to wake herself up from the late phone call.

"Maur."

It was like a bucket of cold water was thrown on her. The pain and vulnerability she heard in her girlfriend's voice was heartbreaking.

"Jane," Maura replied ready to do anything requested.

"It hurts," she cried out.

"Baby I am on my way over," Maura replied already half way down the stairs in just a silk pajama set.

Maura arrived shortly thereafter and crawled straight into Jane's bed wrapping her arms around her crying girlfriend. She whispered loving words and softly rubbed her back until Jane cried herself to sleep. Now Maura lay in bed watching her beautiful girlfriend in a state of peace, maybe the only time she would get peace all day.

"Morning," Jane rasped out her voice harsher than usual from crying all night.

"Hey pretty girl," Maura kissed Jane's tender lips.

Jane huffed out.

"I must look like a mess."

"No, no you look like the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Forgive me if I think you're a little bias," Jane smiled snuggling into Maura's side.

"Doesn't make it any less true."

"I'm sorry I called you over here in the middle of the night."

"Never ever be sorry for calling me."

After years of dancing around each other, Jane and Maura finally figured it out and had been dating for about a year. Most nights they spent together but since Frosts death Jane had needed space and time to process things. Maura understood knowing Jane better than anyone….. when Jane was ready Maura would be the first call.

"Thank you for coming," she looked up to kiss her girlfriend.

"Always."

Jane started wiggling her way out of bed.

"Where are you going?"

"We have to get ready for work sometime," Jane sighed not feeling up to work but certainly not up to just laying around all day.

"Jane, you know it is ok to take a day. It's been a long week and the funeral was just the other day. No one will fault you for taking some time off."

"I get that Maura I really do but I just I can't right now. I need to have some normalcy in my life and going to work is normal for me."

"Ok, but we are leaving early today…no late nights."

"Big plans tonight?"

"Oh yeah I was thinking some drinks and a pizza on my couch."

"Now when you say pizza do you mean some goat cheese vegetable satan pizza or…"

"Or an extra large extra cheese meat lover's pizza with a side of anchovies."

"I love you," Jane said with a giddy smile.

Jane was sitting at her desk starring across at the empty chair. She just couldn't believe it and she certainly didn't understand it. How could such a good man just be taken like that? She was going to miss his smile and the way he made her laugh…she was going to miss her friend but the manner in which it ended would never sit right with her.

"Camille," Jane said in shock seeing Frost's mother walk into the bullpen.

"Hi Jane," she said with a soft smile.

Jane was amazed this woman could function right now let alone offer a smile.

"How are you? No, I am sorry that is stupid."

"It's ok Jane. It has been rough but it really was a beautiful service. I cannot thank you enough for the kind words you spoke."

"It is the least I could do…he was family…you are family," Jane said wanting to make sure that was clear.

"Thank you," Camille said trying to hold back the tears. "I am heading back to Virginia tomorrow…I got a lot of Barry's affairs in order and I will come back at a later date to go through his apartment. I just need a little time for that."

"Understandable, if you need any help with anything or just someone to talk to I am here…we are here."

"There is one last thing I need to do before I head back home. Is there some place we can talk?"

"Oh yes certainly," Jane said escorting Camille into the conference room.

Jane sat down across the Camille and watched as she pulled an envelope out of her purse.

"Barry fully understood the dangers of his job and knew every day when he left his apartment in the morning he might not return that night. He did some things in preparation that one day he wouldn't make it back let first being setting up a very detailed will. The lawyer reviewed his will with me and will be executing most of Barry's wishes contacting the necessary people but I wanted to do this one. The lawyer will be contacting you later about some other things but this piece needs to be done by me."

"Oh ok um what is it," Jane said never thinking she would be mentioned in Frost's will?

"I already know what this letter says but you need to read it."

Jane nervously took the letter offered to her.

"Jane….If you're reading this I guess my time is up. I am sorry I left you to deal with Korsak and Frankie alone, but I know you can handle them…give em' hell. You were the best partner…the best friend a guy could ask for. I know you always had my back and if this was a case related death don't blame yourself Jane I know you did everything you could….sometimes it's just a guys time. I valued every single day we had together. You taught me not just how to be a homicide detective but how to be a better person. I love you Jane Rizzoli….now don't get to soft on me and cry in front of my ma."

Jane couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

"I am writing this letter a few days after you and Maura finally got together…I hope you're still together now…I know you will be because you two are perfect for each other. Don't make me come down there and haunt your ass for doing something stupid and hurting her…I will be watching. Once upon a time someone said we would make beautiful babies together and while the source might not have been credible she wasn't lying we would make some beautiful babies. I don't know what your life plans are or if you or Maura want kids but I would be honored to be your donor. I have a couple samples at the Sperm Bank of Boston. Please do not feel pressured to use me as a donor but I wanted the option to be there. I will not be offended if you choose not to use me or if you don't want kids…again it is just an option. I love you Jane and know I will always be watching over you…Frost"

Jane was in tears reading this letter. She looked up at Camille who was also in tears.

"Camille," Jane said barely able to find her voice.

"Jane what Barry said is true…do not feel pressured to accept is offer. This is entirely up to you and what you want in life. I just ask if you do use Barry that maybe if it is ok if I could know," Camille requested not wanting to over step.

"Camille whatever happens whatever decisions are made…when I have kids you will know. I certainly wouldn't keep my babies away from grandma Cam."

Jane and Camille shared a good cry together before swapping stories and remembering the better times of their son and friend respectively. It was almost noon by the time Camille left with promises of being in touch soon.

"Morgue," Maura's voice came through the phone.

"Maura I am ready to go home," Jane said her voice distant as she looked down at the letter again.

"Let me just set Susie up for the afternoon and I will be right up."

"Good, because we have some things to talk about."
