A.N.: Hey guys! Had this idea on my mind for a long time (: Read, review and let me know what you think and/or if I should continue. Lots of love~!

Chapter 1: Finding out

It was 6:30 am when she woke up. The honey blonde woman stretched and yawned, sitting up in bed and rubbing her eyes. It had been a somehow restless night and she was more than ready to fall back asleep, even though she knew she had to go to work early. The team was working on a very important case that needed her full attention and her fellow cadavers were waiting for her on the autopsy table.

Reluctantly getting out of bed, shivering as the cold breeze hit her skin, she hopped onto the shower. That and a coffee at the PD before her day started should help her wake up, she thought.

She was relaxing under the warm water when she was startled by someone speaking.

"Good morning, Maura."

Instinctively, she covered herself with her hands and turned around to where the voice had come from but, to her surprise, she saw no one. For a moment, she thought it had only been in her head, but she dismissed the idea. She knew that voice; it was a unique, completely recognizable voice.

"I scared you, didn't I?" The voice repeated.

The medical examiner frowned and her eyes went wide.

"Yes, Maur, it's me, don't look so surprised, for God's sake. Oh, and by the way, I agree on the coffee. If you get there before I do, get one for me. Jo Friday is being extremely inconsiderate this morning; I might have to walk her before going to work."

"How on Earth?" Maura thought to herself.

"I have no idea, dear," was what the other woman answered.

The honey blonde took a moment to think about how it was scientifically possible that her best friend and co-worker was able to hear her thoughts and she could hear hers. As usual, the ME had lost track of her own thoughts when Jane appeared in her mind again, clearly pissed off.

"Jeez, Maura! You don't just have a google-mouth; you also have a google-mind! Seriously? I think I just heard the name of over a hundred proteins and brain cells in less than two minutes! Relax!"

"I'm sorry," Maura replied with her monotonic voice. "So, you can read my mind and hear my thoughts and I can do the same to you?"

"Good job, Smartypants!" Jane said, laughing softly.

The Medical Examiner had gotten out of the shower and was walking to her closet to get dressed; trying not to overthink the color of panties she would wear.

"I think red and black lace would look great on you, Maur, do you have a date?" The smaller woman heard in her head.

Maura blushed when she realized that Jane could tell the undergarments she was going to wear. "I don't go out in dates since my first year of med school," Maura replied playfully.

"Well, thank you, now I won't be able to look at you at work without thinking that you're wearing red and black lace lingerie."

The honey blonde smiled her million watts smile as she looked at herself in the mirror and fixed her hair and clothes.
