Jane stands in front of the Boston Police Station, trying to get the courage to go in. She thinks about how she has been whining and begging to get back to work, being stuck in the hospital for 3 weeks and then at home 4 weeks after that. But now that she is actually getting ready to start it all up again, couldn't be more nervous. She loves her job, everything about it. But she can't help the gut sinking feeling that the job that she loves almost got her killed. Immediately she is brought back to that day...7 weeks ago.

"Bobby please-this is over-please!"

"Let her go Bobby!"

"Please Bobby! Frankie's bleeding!"

"Shoot him! Just shoot him!"

"Put your guns down, or she dies!"

"Frankie's bleeding! There's no time!"

"He is probably already dead."

"NO!"

Jane shakes her head quickly at the sound of the gun shot piercing through her head. She lets out a deep breath, trying to get it together.

"Nervous." Frankie asks as he steps next to his sister.

"No." Jane scoffs.

Frankie looks from the building in front of them to his sister, not believing her. "Liar."

Jane rolls her eyes at her little brother, but then gives in. "I'm a little nervous."

"Yeah, well you did shoot yourself….right there." Frankie says pointing to the spot in front of the building.

"Thank you Francis." Jane says with a sarcastic laugh. "Always a comfort."

"No problem Janie." Frankie says smiling with a laugh as he nudges her shoulder "Let's go." he says as he gets ready to walk away.

"Wait!" Jane exclaims as she grabs his arm and pulls him back

"What?" Frankie snaps confused.

Jane pulls Frankie's arm so he his face is close to hers. "There's not going to be some welcome back thing is there." Jane says horrified.

"What do you think?" Frankie says trying to hold back a laugh.

Jane glares at Frankie thinking it over. "Crap!" she exclaims as she sulks towards the building.

"Yup, I hear Korsak's gonna pop out of a cake!" Frankie says gitty as he follows her.

"Surprise!" a group of voices exclaim in the bull pen at the sight of Jane and Frankie walking in.

Jane just shakes her head as she looks at all the faces. "Wow." she says under her breath, before plastering on a fake smile.

After greeting a bunch of officers and other people that work in her unit she sees Cavanaugh walking towards her. "Great." she says under her breath.

Cavanaugh arrives in front of Jane and reaches out his hand to Jane. "Welcome back Detective."

"Thank you Sir." Jane says as she shakes his hand.

As he steps aside Frost and Korsak come barreling forward.

"Welcome back Jane." Frost smiles.

"Thank you Frost." Jane replies back .

"How's it going Partner." Korsak says as he puts his hand on her shoulder.

Immediately pissed Frost turns to Korsak ready to argue. "Hey she is not-"

"Good to know, some things never change." Jane jumps in with a tiny laugh.

"On that note, I'll be at the cake." Korsak says before taking off towards the refreshment table.

"Things are finally as they should be Jane. We missed your bossy behind around here, that's for sure." Frost jokes to Jane.

"Damn straight." Jane says back.

Frankie then comes walking over to the group shaking his head. "Gotta love Jane Fest 2011." he says sarcastically.

"Ha Ha." Jane retorts back, but then she feels a pain in her chest. "Ahh." she says quietly as she puts her hand to her chest.

"Are you okay?" Frankie asks going into worried brother mode.

"I'm fine, just a little sore." Jane reassures him.

"Maybe you should have given it another-" Frankie begins to say.

"You finish that sentence and I will kick you." Jane interrupts seriously.

"Shutting up." Frankie says, knowing when not to push his sister. "Oooh cake!" he says as he walks over to Korsak.

"Detective Rizzoli….you're going to take it easy right." Cavanaugh says walking over.

"Yep." Jane lies.

"Right…Frost keep an eye on her." Cavanaugh says as he walks away.

"Excuse me." Jane says annoyed.

"Oh, how the tables have turned." Frost laughs.

"Don't start." Jane warns as she holds her finger up to Frost.

"Well I would love to stay but I actually have court in 20 minutes, so." Frost says still laughing. "I will see you later."

"Okay." Jane says.

"It's good to have you back Jane, really." Frost says genuinely.

"Thanks Frost." Jane smiles back.

After watching Frost leave and noticing the gathering starting to disperse, Jane starts to look around the room.

Korsak walks over to Jane with a plate of cake and watches Jane looking around the room, dissapointed. "Maura's in the morgue." he says as he walks over to his desk and sits down.

Jane stops looking and turns to Korsak. "What?"

"You heard me." Korsak says still starring at his computer screen.

"I wasn't looking…." Jane says clearly lying as she lets out a chuckle. "…for Maura."

"Whatever you say Janie." Korsak says shaking his head.

"Don't call me Jane, huh." Jane snaps annoyed, before she decides to take off. "I'll be right back."

"No rush, we know where you'll be if we need ya." Korsak calls after her.

"Shut up!" Jane sings back.

Korsak just shakes his head amuses before he leans back in his chair. "Finally, some peace and quiet." he says as he takes a bite of cake.

Jane walks down the hallway to the morgue, but stops in her tracks when she sees her working on a body through the morgue window. A breath gets caught in her throat at the site of Maura in her scrubs, and her hair flowing down past her shoulders. Getting her courage up, she lets out her breath and heads to the doorway.

"Hi." Jane blurts out.

Maura's eyes get big, knowing exactly who's voice that is looks up to see Jane standing in the doorway. "Jane." she says softly.

"Is-is this a bad time?" Jane asks nervously.

"No, not at all." Maura lies as she starts to get flustered. "Umm, how are you feeling?" she asks.

"Much better, all healed up." She says as she walks closer to Maura. "How did you get out of the welcome back party upstairs?" Jane laughs nervously, secretly wanting to know why she wasn't up there.

"I had to get this body processed by today." Maura says with a small smile. "But I-ahh- heard the cheering from upstairs." she adds.

"Yeah, they're all obnoxious that's for sure." Jane says as she itches her ear.

"They are thrilled that you are back." Maura retorts back.

Jane looks up for the first time and looks Maura in the eyes. They stare in silence for a few seconds before Maura rips her eyes away. Jane does the same and sways in place for a second. "Thanks again…you know for saving Frankie's life." Jane stutters before taking a pause and looking down at the ground. "…and mine." she finishes.

"I'm glad I was of help." Maura replies back.

Jane looks up because of the monotone reply and stares at her friend speechless. "Well-ahh-I have work to do." she says.

"Me too." Maura says as she picks up another chart.

Jane keeps starring and Maura in shock before deciding its best to leave. "I'll see ya later." she says quietly as she walks out of the morgue.

Maura keeps her head down looking at the chart before she knows Jane has left. She then looks up and lets out a sad breath, knowing things may never be the same again. She's starring at the door in a daze before Jane storms back in. "Ahh!" Maura jumps surprised.

"Sorry." Jane says trying to keep her cool with the doctor.

"Did you forget something?" Maura asks getting nervous once more.

Jane shakes her head no, as she tries to figure out how to word her feelings. "Why didn't you visit me?" she then asks jumping in feet first.

"I'm sorry." Maura says not expecting that at all.

"You didn't visit me in the hospital…like at all." Jane says trying to hide the hurt in her voice.

Maura feeling guilty looks back at her chart. "I rode with you in the ambulance Jane." she says as she writes some things down. "Believe me…I was at the hospital." she adds straightly.

"Not when I was awake!" Jane exclaims.

Maura winces at Jane before looking up at her once more. "I apologize for not visiting you more, my work load has been ridiculous." she then adds.

"You couldn't take an hour and come see me." Jane snipes. "When I was at the hospital or when I was at Ma's." she adds.

"Jane, I apologized." Maura says again as she tries to keep her emotions from getting the best of her. "What do you want me to say?" she adds a bit harsher then she intended.

Jane looks at her and then shakes her head angry. "I don't want you to say anything Maura." she snaps before she heads to the door.

Maura watches her leave as she tilts her head but then watches Jane stop at the door and turn back around to face her. "I hear a bunch of excuses for why you didn't visit me, whatever ." she says as she stares at the ground in front of her. "But there was no reason why you couldn't at least return my phone calls." Jane then adds before walks out of the morgue.

Maura watches Jane leave speechless as her mouth hangs open. Then in the same daze as before she slowly sits down on her stool and looks off in space. Wondering if the pain and the fear will ever go away…or the other feelings.
