Hey guys! So i have a new story idea it's set after Jane's apartment burnt down so yeah! Hope you enjoy!


It was Friday afternoon and Jane and Maura had finally finished a tough case. Taking a sip of her wine Maura looked over at Jane who looked as though she was in deep thought.

"Jane" Maura called out stepping towards her friend
"Yeah" Jane answered looking up, holding her beer in her left hand

"I was wondering, you can't stay in the tiny room at your brother's much longer it isn't good for you"
"Maura I've got no where else to stay"
"You can stay here Jane, I know you don't want to live here whilst your mother is in the guest house but atleast you will have a lot more space here, and a proper bedroom"

"I don't know Maura, Ma already thinks something was or is happening between us"
"What" Maura asked shocked

"When I was having nightmares about Hoyt and I always shared your bed with you, Ma got a bit suspicious, and I always spend a lot of time here she's a very curious woman my mother, and besides she doesn't understand personal space" Jane half laughed taking a sip of her beer

"Jane listen, that was a difficult situation you were in, and this is another, you lost all of your personal belongings and childhood memories. Yes Angela can sometimes be a bit nosy but she only cares about you. Besides you always say you love winding her up so why not have a reason for it. She thinks something is going on between us so be it we can fake it to your mother. It'll get her of your back about finding someone to settle down with and who knows, if she thinks we're sleeping together she might give us more space"

"woah, ha, ok Maura, ok fine. I'll move back in here with you, but please, I buy my own clothes when we go shopping"
"Deal" Maura chirped up smiling

"Thankyou" Jane smiled before giving Maura a hug. Seconds later Angela came walking through the back door.

"Hey Maur...oh Jane hey!" Jane and Maura quickly jumped apart. "Ma hey!"
"Hey girls, I'm off shopping I was wondering if you wanted anything"

"Yeah Ma can you get me some beers please" The brunette said with a smile

"Of cause" Angela replied "Maura would you like anything"

"I'm ok thankyou Angela. Oh great news! Jane has decided to move back in here with me" Maura turned towards Angela smiling

"That's great! I'll see you girly's later have fun" Angela shouted over her shoulder heading for the front door.

"Thanks Ma!" Jane shouted back before turning to look at her friend.


It had been a week since Jane had moved in with Maura, Angela had't been any less nosy but just seemed to smile more when she saw the two girls together. Angela always dreamed of Jane finding a handsome man to settle down with, get married and have children with but when Jane and Maura had become close friends Angela knew what was best for Jane and it wasn't a man. Although she had no proof Jane and Maura had been involved like that Angela still knew of the times they faked been together and thought it was cute, and she had just wished they weren't faking and were actually together.

It was about nine o'clock in the morning when Angela turned the key in Maura's back door, shutting it behind her the place was quiet. looking around downstairs she looked up the stairs.

They must still be alseep Angela though before heading up the stairs. Been as quiet as possible Angela creaked open the guest bedroom door to find the bedroom empty. Turning on her heels she headed back down the hall to Maura's bedroom. Slowly opening it she peaked inside to find Jane and Maura fast sleep not to far from one another. Smiling to herself Angela shut the door behind her and headed back downstairs. Pulling out her phone she texted Frankie.

Angela: Hey Frankie, what reason did Jane give you for moving back in with Maura

Hitting send Angela took a seat at the island. Looking at her phone her son had texted her back.

Frankie: Hey Ma, she just said she needed more space and that Maura had convinced her to stay with her, why?

Angela: Can you remember that time Jane always stayed over at Maura and always shared her bed, and we thought something was happening between them two?

Frankie: yes Ma, I remember

Angela: Well Jane hasn't got an excuse to share Maura's bed anymore and I just went upstairs and they're both fast alseep in Maura's bed

Frankie: Ma! Why did you go snooping! Jane might have had a bad nightmare or something. You don't actually think something is happening between them two do you? because if there is...Korsak ow's me red sox tickets.

Angela: oh for goodness sake Frankie! Stop making bets on your sister and Maura! But yes I think maybe something is going on. If there isn't I think they both feel something for one another but are too afraid to admit it.

Frankie: Ok, I'm sorry Ma, look I'll talk later, keep me in the loop. Love you Ma

Angela: Will do Frankie, love you too


Later that night Jane and Maura were curled up on the sofa watching tv. Jane had managed to persuade Maura to watch a horror film.

"Jane you do understand horror films aren't good for.."

Jane quickly interrupted her best friend. "Maura...stop, I don't care, I like this film and I've watched enough of your documentaries, so now it's time you watch something that I like"

"Ok, fine, but If I have nightmares tonight do not blame me if I crawl in to your bed" Maura stated turning back to look at the TV
"Don't worry I wont, I owe you"

About half an hour into the movie Maura had slowly moved closer to Jane, looking up at her best friend she called out her name
"Hey what's the matter" Jane asked turning to look at her best friend.

"Do you mind, if maybe, I cuddle up to you"
"No of cause not Maura, come here" Jane said lifting her arm up inviting Maura in. Maura smiled as she placed her her left arm around Jane's waste and her head on Jane's left boob.

Ten minutes later they heard a sound coming from outside. "Jane...what was that"
"It's probably just Ma messing around" Suddenly the back door swung open making Maura jump into Jane lap and causing Jane to burst out laughing.

Closing the door behind her Angela looked over at Maura sat in Jane's lap on the couch "Why are you two so jumpy lately" Pausing the TV Jane stopped laughing and looked over at her mom. "We're watching a horror film and Maura got a bit scared so I said she could cuddle up next to me and when you opened the back door you made her jump so she kind of landed in my lap" Jane answered trying not to laugh.

"Jane! Why would you put poor Maura through that!" Angela asked rushing over to the two girls who were still in the same position.

"It's fine Angela, It's quite an experience" Maura smiled lifting herself of Jane's lap to go get a glass of wine from the kitchen.

"How could I help you Angela" Maura asked walking back over to the two women.

"Oh, well I came over to see if your power is out, the hole street is out but yours. Even the guest house is out"

"OH Angela I'm so sorry about that, I have a back up generator, it only operates one kitchen light, the side lights in here, the tv, the bathroom and my bedroom so I wouldn't have noticed Im sorry, please feel free to stay here though"

"No!" Jane quickly shouted. "I mean...why would she want to stay here whilst we are watching a horror film"

"Jane's right, Frankie said I can go over to his so I'll see you girls later" Angela said before heading back out the door.

Maura sat back on the couch next to her best friend with her wine. "Well you were quick to stop your mother staying round."

Jane looked over and Maura "Was I? She's staying at Frankie's anyway she'll be fine"

"Ok, I don't know how long the generator will last though" Just as the words slept out of her mouth the hole house went dark.

"Well I guess that answers it" Jane says pulling the blanket over her knees.

Looking into the darkness where Jane was sat Maura looked at her confused. "Jane are you ok" Maura asked moving closer to her friend. "Erm yeah, you know the power going just surprised me that's all"

"You're scared of the dark aren't you"

"What!? Don't be stupid I am not scared of the dark...when I know the power works"
"But when it doesn't you get scared"

"Ok, maybe just a little" Jane admitted quietly

"Jane don't worry about it I used to be scared of the dark, and I have to admit after you making me watch that film it has put me on edge a bit. It's late anyway so maybe we should head to bed"

"Yeah sure. hey Maura do you mind if I sleep in with you tonight" Jane asked scared of what the answer might be
Maura smiled standing up. "Of cause you can Jane"

Walking up the stairs they both headed up to bed. Finding the door handle Maura pushed open her bedroom door allowing her and Jane inside before closing it behind her. Pulling back the sheets the two women climbed under the covers. "Goodnight Jane" Maura whispered before rolling on to her side. Looking over at her best friend Jane smiled before coming up behind Maura and tentatively wrapping her left arm around Maura's waist. "Night Maur" Jane said back before slowly falling off to sleep.
