For a long time I wanted to write about our two heroines and this episode ( 4x04 : Killler in high heels ) gave me the inspiration to write (like many in the fan community ) ... Emotionally , it's a great episode. I wanted to give my theory on the history and it ends after the last shot in the episode.

The first part, "The day everything can change" is the story, a few added scenes and the thoughts of the two characters. The second part is entitled "A ray of sunshine amongst the clouds ". It continues where the episode left off and tells the ending that could have been. The third part will be called "Anything can happen."

Since this is the first time I have written about Jane and Maura, I hope it will be to your liking ;)

In any case, I enjoyed writing it.

Happy ending for Rizzles. I hate it when it ends badly : D

Disclaimers : Obviously , Jane , Maura and all the characters do not belong to me but unfortunately belong to Tess Gerritsen , Janet Tamaro and TNT.

For those who have not seen this wonderful episode, watch it first. Otherwise there is a risk of SPOILERS.

Finally, a big thank you to Celine for proofreading. ( ;) and K. )

And a big big big Thank you to Kerry Tucker who translates my story in English. Yes not my mother language but i undersand it no problem ;)

The day everything can change

J: "Maura Isles. You're under arrest for the murder of Brad Adams."

How did we arrive here? Arresting Maura, the only person who meant more than her own life ...

Everything had gone wrong today. First, was the discovery of Maura's badge in the victim's car ... Then Cavanaugh had told them to treat the case as they would any other. But Jane could not do what the lieutenant had told her. She could not deal with the doctor like a common suspect who she could happily arrest and put behind bars. No! Maura was her friend ... Her best friend. She was sure that there was more than what the doctor could remember of what she had done after she had left the charity gala up until the time she got home, around five o'clock in the morning. She never came home so late! What had she been doing?

Thereafter, the situation worsened. Dr. Vladimir Popov was to carry out the autopsy; Maura was not authorized to do so. This man always had a bottle of vodka under his arm and couldn't find his ass unless you put his hands on it. But the worst part was that she had to interview the person who was the dearest to her, and she had to do that by treating Maura as she would any suspect. Korsak said that they needed do a rape examination on the doctor and Jane could not bear it. So she lifted her eyes and swallowed; her eyes wet with the tears she held back. Jane learned that the victim, Brad Adams, had only been deceiving Maura throughout the evening.

Jane was forced to watch a nervous Maura in the interrogation room and to give her the bad news. Her heart had torn apart during the interrogation. Jane looked at Maura such a gentle manner, revealing her love for the doctor. Her voice had broken many times showing her sadness and the feelings that were too much for her to bear. Maura was in trouble! She had placed herself at the scene and everyone at the gala had seen her with Brad. Rahhh! If only Jane had stayed with Maura, they both could have left at a reasonable time and there would have been no problem. She blamed herself for having abandoned her terribly. Towards the end of the interview Maura had to remove her clothes for forensic examination. Jane could not focus on anything other than the smooth, pale skinned doctor. It was really bad, she approached her when they were finally alone and she apologized. Apologized for what ... Maura would never know. But Jane knew. She apologized for leaving first and then having to ask what happened to her and finally she apologized for not being able to do anything, for now. It was also an inner promise to do everything she could for Maura. Whatever happened, she would always be there for her.

They next met in the corridors when Maura was been taken to the hospital to be examined to see if she had been raped. Oh! ... At that moment, she would have killed Brad herself if the man had dared to lay a hand on her beloved. Jane had looked with love then with grief this little lady so broken. When Maura returned the look, one last time, before crossing the doors of police in her white gown, her heart began to beat wildly. She was forced to smile but her eyes were soft, contrasting with the frightened and sadness in Maura's eyes. But the doctor saw hope in those eyes. Hope to be vindicated. Hope that Jane would do anything for her and would not let her to be taken to prison. She therefore returned the detective's gaze, latching onto the chocolate orbs she loved so much. Maura's makeup had run but for Jane, she had never been more beautiful.

Jane was initially surprised to see Maura in her office at the morgue, but was relieved when she learned that the woman, for whom she had been worried sick, had not been violated. Maura would have preferred that she had been, at least then she could have pleaded self-defense ... but Jane did not agree; she was actually relieved. But she still could not accept that the medical examiner could be thought guilty of such an act. She could not have killed someone! It was not possible! Someone so sweet could not do that. Studies show that anyone can kill under the right circumstances but Maura was not anyone.

She could already see the headlines: "The daughter of a mafia boss is arrested for murder", "Is there some hereditary predisposition to violence as the daughter of mob boss, Paddy Doyle, was arrested this morning for the murder of Brad Adams" or "Dr. Maura Isles has been arrested by Detective Rizzoli, her best friend. What about the friendships within the police? ". Jane even imagined dozens of scenarios all worse than each other. What would she do if she could never find Brad Adam's real murderer? What would she do if Maura had to spend the rest of her life in prison? How would she live without her? She just did not know how she could. It was unimaginable for her to go on without Maura's smiles, her cheerfulness, her hazel irises, her golden hair that smells so good, her touch and her voice. She had to admit that the remarks and scientific facts that the doctor shared amused her, even though she pretended that they went over her head and she would miss hearing them every day.

Fortunately, for now, Maura was still at home, away from the prison cells and the prisoners who would attack the coroner. But just when the detective thought the situation could not get any worse, her mother had betrayed them. Because yes ... It was a betrayal of trust to give evidence against Maura when Angela regarded Maura as her own daughter! You do not give evidence against someone who is part of the family. It was almost ruined now ... The video showed that Maura had the strength and technique to kill Adams. When she was informed that Frost had found Maura's hair and fingerprints all over the car of the victim and that the skin under her fingernails belonged to Brad Adams, she knew what she was going to have to do and the prospect did not thrill her at all.

Jane knocked at the door with heavy strokes; heavy because of the duty she had to perform. Maura said, without worrying about what would happen that Bass, the tortoise, would not eat and was sensitive to the stress around him. Jane did not answer and opened the door a little more to reveal Detective Frost and Sergeant Korsak. Maura had looked at them before turning a terrified look at Jane. She then heard an "Oh no," released by the beautiful woman right in front of her and she said she was so sorry. She finally found the courage to tell her why she had come.

J: "Maura Isles. You're under arrest for the murder of Brad Adams."

She said the sentence with emotion. Her breath did not survive at the sentence and she spoke lower than normal. Maura looked at her with sorrow in her eyes, but she understood that if Jane did not do it, someone else would put her in handcuffs, and she preferred that Jane would do it.

Jane asked for a moment with her girlfriend and the two detectives retired.

F: We are waiting in the car. Don't take too long, Cavanaugh told us to hurry so as not to attract too much media attention.

Jane understood, these journalists would not hesitate to jump to conclusions regarding the daughter of a mob boss. She gently closed the door for some privacy while Maura went to her couch and dropped onto it. Jane pointed to the couch with her index finger...

J: May I?

The doctor huffed and rolled his eyes.

M: Of course Jane.

Maura put her head in her hands, her elbows on her knees and let out a tear. Jane sat next to her and now stroked Maura's back with her left hand, drawing circles on the top. Maura sniffed then wiped the tears from her eyes. For once, she did not care if her mascara had run. Tremors possessed her body, as if she were a doll. She blamed herself for being so weak in front of Jane. All of a sudden she felt herself being drawn nearer to the hot body of her girlfriend; a pair of arms surrounded her, protecting her from the outside world. Jane's chin came to rest on top of her head and Maura passed her arms around the muscular body of the detective. She squeezed Jane and put her head against Jane's pounding heart, wanting to never let go. As Jane kissed hair, the medical examiner closed her eyes. Their hearts beat in unison; both women felt good and did not want their embrace to stop. Finally, Jane broke the silence.

J: I'm so sorry Maura.

She shed a tear which was fell onto an extreme softness; Maura had raised her head at Jane's words.

M: You did not do anything.

She let her hands wander over the smooth skin of the detective, who brought her left hand over the right side of Maura to hold her hand and stroked her cheek. Applying a little more pressure to her skin, she stroked Maura's long fingers, while smiling at her; a sad smile.

J: You didn't do anything either Maur'.

Maura lowered her head, releasing the detective.

M: Maybe I did Jane.

Jane caught her hand and held it between her, squeezing slightly to show she was there.

J: No you didn't. I trust you. You couldn't have done it.

She paused a moment and then placed her left hand under Maura's chin to meet Maura's gaze and capture her look. She then took her hand in hers and continued staring into her eyes.

J: I know you didn't because you're the nicest person I've ever met. There is not one ounce of evil in you. I swear, I'll find the bastard who really killed Adams. I will not let you rot in jail for the rest of your days.

M: ... Jane ... If it happens.

J: It will not happen.

M: I want you to know something. Something I 'm afraid to tell you but I want you to know because you have every right.

J: You killed him? she said with a hint of worry in his voice.

M: No! Well, maybe, but that's not it. I want you to know that before I was taken to prison.

J: You will pull through this, I promise.

M: Do not make promises you cannot keep Jane. All the evidence is against me. You would not have hesitated to arrest me long ago if I had not been your friend.

J: You're more than my friend Maura. You're my best friend and I will not let you down.

Maura sighed. Yes, her best friend but she wanted to be more. She wanted to tell her everything in her heart : tell her that it beats abnormally fast when they touched and it melted on the spot when she looked at her with her brown eyes. She wanted to tell her everything in detail. But she had no time for that. She was running it. It was not the best time but she had to tell her before being imprisoned and risk never being able to tell her. So she took her courage in both hands and ...

A ring stopped her in her tracks. It was Jane's phone. She released the breath she had subconsciously held and felt Jane's hands leave hers and they both felt the. Maura swore in her head and a few seconds later rebuked herself for thinking such a word. She looked at Jane's face and watched her for the few seconds she had left of freedom and thought she was the most beautiful creature on this earth. Jane looked at her again after hanging up. She seemed uncomfortable:

J: It was Frost. We must go now.

Maura rose like an automaton and joined her hands behind back. Jane did not handcuff her immediately, but pulled her into a hug that both women appreciated. It did not last long but they could not afford to take more time. Jane kissed her on the cheek and Maura inhaled the spicy scent of the Detective's hair one last time and whispered something that was hard to hear.

J: You can tell me when you get out Maura.

But Maura would never have the guts to tell her and she knew it.

The detective stood behind her, took her arm gently, bringing them to her back. The bite of steel grasped her wrists when Jane closed the handcuffs on her arms. The metal held her prisoner. Prisoner from her freedom but also prisoner of her feelings for the beautiful Italian. The handcuffs seemed to weigh a ton, as heavy as the weight of the charges against her. Maura looked down while the detective removed her jacket to hide her hands.

Jane had returned to her home that night, vexed and mortified to have arrested her friend. When her mother walked into her apartment, it felt like a punch in the stomach. Her mother explained that she gave the video to her lover, Jane's boss, instead of giving it to her because she did not want to put her in a situation where she would have had to decide what to do with it. She knew exactly what she would have done. She would have deleted the video to protect Maura. She did not care that she could spend a year in prison, the maximum penalty for having obstructed justice when Maura was likely to spend her life in jail! And she could not spend her life away from her friend.

The next morning, she visited Maura. When she entered the cell, she was shocked, Maura's face was black and blue and dark circles were visible under her eyes. She had not slept, neither had Jane; she was too worried about the safety of her beloved doctor, who had obviously been attacked.

J: Attention all in mates. Whoever did this to my friend's face will have to look over her shoulder for the rest of her life and if it happens again, it will be a very, very short life.

She threatened everyone in the room. Maura pulled her by the hand and asked her to stop.

M: Jane, please.

Jane turned to her.

J: Oh. I'm sorry. I do not want to embarrass you in front of your new friends.

Maura changed the subject. She had remembered something from her time with Brad. He blew her a kiss, or so she thought at first but she realized that he had blown a drug onto her face and she had inhaled it.

M: Scopolamine is also called "The devil's breath" because it can be administered by blowing it into someone's face.

J: Well. That explains a lot.

M: What explain this?

Maura raised her bruised forearms which showed her rage against the victim.

J: You probably tried to run away. she said, stroking the back of her hand one of her friend's arms.

Jane asked her which one had struck her and was told that Paddy Doyle had sent the word out that she was not to be harmed. She opened her eyes; Maura didn't realise that this would mean that the enemies of the mafia would attack Maura. Her heart raced. No! She would not lose Maura. Especially not for a murder she did not commit. Maura stared at Jane and whispered something.

M: Oh my God. Just get me out of here Jane.

J: Look, anybody comes close to you okay, you just go with your elbow right to the throat. All right ?

She had said very seriously and Maura nodded.

J: Just stay alive.

She wanted to add "for me" but could not.

She left the prison and called Frost and Korsak to assist in the investigation. They walked quickly through to Susie, the assistant medical examiner, and even managed to get Maura to help from the prison. She was proud of her friend who had managed to make assumptions without getting hives.

Finally, they managed, after hours of concentration and investigation to find the real culprit. Jane smiled when Korsak arrested the murderer. This meant that Maura would be released and she could see her every day until the end of her life. She sighed contentedly and went to the police to prepare for Maura's return.

She was finally here in front of her, smiling and more beautiful than ever wearing a tight blue dress that fitted her form perfectly. Nobody noticed Dr. Vladimir Popov who had just arrived, all eyes were on Maura but she was only aware of Jane's. She ran her tongue over her lips; Jane noticed and slightly bit her lower lip. Jane, Frost, Korsak, Frankie, Cavanaugh, and Angela all cheered at her return and she could only smile at such affection. When her eyes met Jane's, she moved closer to her and Jane got up to greet her.

The detective opened her arms and Maura literally threw herself against her favourite detective with dignity and class. She put her arm around Jane's shoulders and took a deep breath, inhaling the intoxicating fragrance of the detective. Her eyes closed instinctively, revelling in the touch. Maura was unprepared when Jane took her arm and hugged her. The doctor went to grab the hand of the other woman but did not succeed and it dropped to her belly, so Jane merely took her arm. They had already walked a few meters when Jane asked a question.

J: So ... What do you do now?

Jane could not help but smile stupidly at the woman she loved more than anything else. Maura looked at her tenderly, thinking of saying something and then changed her mind; she would tell her tonight. Instead, she replied truthfully.

M: Go to work.

Jane smiled once again and slid her hand down Maura's arm to finally hold her hand, sending shivers down her body. Finally she released her, she did not want to monopolize the doctor. Everyone kissed Maura for her courage and determination, but the doctor thought of nothing else but the feeling of Jane's hand sliding down her arm.

I hope you enjoyed the first part.
