Authors Notes : Thankyou so much for reading guys. The gist of this story was one of the dreams i had had however Maura was a mix of Jessica Capshaw and Sasha Alexander but i thought i'd make it easier and just have it be Maura seen as though the rest of the characters were from RandI. So here's a new chapter, i hope you like it :D this is quite a bit shorter than the first chapter but the next will be the longest :D please please review
Jane and Maura exit the car bracing themselves for what they are about to see. They had seen so many dead bodies in their careers and they hardly ever effected them, but when it's personal, it can effect them in ways no one should ever have to face.
"Maura I can't do this" Jane stopped and went to turned around when she felt Maura grab her hand.
"Jane. You now we have to. I'll be there every step of the way." Maura snaked her arm around Jane's waist, pulled her in close then moved her towards the body.
Jane and Maura get to the body to see Dr Pike already kneeling next to it. "Maura what's Pike doing here?"
"I have no idea. Why would they ask me here if Pike's here?" Maura squeezed Jane's hand. Jane knowing this was the sign that Maura still hated the guy.
Frost and Korsak walk up to stand in between Jane and Maura and the body. "Hey Jane, are you okay?" Frost went to touch Jane on the arm but backed out with seeing how upset Jane was. Jane didn't say anything to which Maura squeezed Jane a little tighter. "She's okay for now. Thanks Detective Frost. Erm, Shall we?" Maura motioned her hand towards the dead body behind the Detective and Sergeant.
"What do we have Dr Pike?" Maura asked knowing full well what he was about to say.
"Forty two year old man, hands and feet bound." Pike paused and looked up to the two women before he carried on. "Scalpel to the throat..." These four words made Jane squirm and run behind a dumpster to be sick. Maura ran after her with Korsak right behind her.
"Oh my god Jane are you alright?" Maura rubbed her hand across Jane's back trying to comfort her in any way she could.
"Maura I think you need to take Jane home. Ill get Frankie to drive you"
"Thank you Sergeant Korsak. C'mon Jane lets get you home." Maura held Jane by the waist to keep her on her feet. Jane looked like she was ready to faint any minute.
"Hey Frankie, take the two ladies home will you" Frankie ran over helping Maura with keeping Jane on her feet.
"Korsak, don't ever call me a lady again" Jane gave him a glaring look that they were all so familiar with.
"Nice to see you still have your sense of humour in there somewhere" Jane gave him a small smile before she nudged Maura and Frankie to take her home.
Frankie drove Jane's car onto Maura's drive something that had annoyed Jane as she hated anyone else driving her car but she was too exhausted with fear to even protest.
"C'mon Jane let's get you inside" Jane hadn't even seen or heard Maura get out of the car and walk round to her side. Maura took Jane's hand and walked her inside then went to say goodbye to Frankie.
"Are you two going to be okay, I can stay if you like?" Frankie gave Maura Jane's car keys.
"No I think we'll be okay, but thank you Frankie"
"Well if you need anything you know where I am" Frankie made his was to the car that was waiting for him on the street. He had called Frost on the way to Maura's to pick him up and take him back to the department.
Maura shut the front door and turned to look at Jane who had ended up on the floor next to the couch. It broke Maura's heart to see Jane like this. The tough detective would have hated the thought of being so vulnerable but she couldn't hold onto the strength she had been clinging onto so tightly. She had to let it go. The strength was killing her. "Oh Jane what are you doing on the floor?" Jane just looked at Maura showing no emotion. Maura knew she wasn't going to get anything out of her.
"C'mon Jane lets get you to bed, you're exhausted" Maura went to pull Jane onto her feet but Maura wasn't as strong and as stable as she used to be, even if it was only three months into the pregnancy. The growing baby inside her stopped her from doing things that involved using her back. "Jane your going to have to help yourself a little, my back can't take much more"
Jane let out a little of herself and got to her feet "I'm sorry"
"Don't be, It's okay. Let's get you out of these clothes"
Maura walked Jane to the guest bedroom and sat her down on the bed. Maura started with Jane's shoes and socks and put them at the foot of the bed. She then proceeded to take Jane's suit jacket and placed it on the bed. "Jane I'll be right back...I'm just going to get you something to wear to bed...Okay?" Jane nodded in response. Maura was back within the minute. Maura had always kept extra baggy t-shirts and shorts for if Jane ever stayed over. It became more of a frequent occurrence after the last time Hoyt got close to Jane and her nightmares started again. Jane would end up calling Maura in the middle of the night and the conversation would end with Maura inviting Jane over.
Maura unbuttoned Jane's shirt and placed it with her jacket. "Jane can you put your arms up for me?" Jane did as she was told and Maura slid on the sleep shirt. "Stand up and we'll get these pants off. They have vomit on them" Jane stood up and let Maura do what she needed to do. Maura finished getting Jane dressed for bed and slowly helped her under the sheets. Maura stayed with Jane a few minutes to make sure she was settled.
Maura moved a few strands of hair away from Jane's face and studied her perfect features. Okay Jane wasn't perfect. No one was, but to Maura, Jane was perfect. She loved everything about her. Everything.
"Goodnight Jane" Maura got up and started to walk out of what Maura could call Jane's bedroom. She had spent so many nights in there.
"Maura wait" Jane's unusually quiet voice stopped Maura in her tracks.
"Yes Jane?" Maura turned to look at the sleepy brunette.
"Can...can you stay...with me?"
"Of course...I'll just go and get changed, you don't want me complaining about the creases in my dress do you?" Maura gave Jane a smile before heading to her bedroom.
Maura didn't take long to get into her pyjamas before she was back to the guest room where Jane lay in the bed now facing away from her. Maura didn't know whether Jane had fell asleep so she was careful in closing the door and walking towards her side of the bed.
Maura smiled when she saw that Jane was still awake. "I thought you were asleep" Maura laid down under the sheets and turned to face Jane.
"I wanted to wait for you" Jane moved her hand to place it into Maura's before closing her eyes. Maura was going to say something but decided against it. She just wanted to let Jane sleep.
Maura was woken up by Jane's leg knocking her own. She thought it was just Jane turning over but then she heard screaming.
"GET AWAY FROM HER...JUST TAKE ME...LEAVE HER ALONE"
"Jane?" Maura rolled over to find Jane in a sweaty disarray fighting with the sheets.
"NOOOO, LEAVE HER ALONE"
"Jane, wake up...JANE" Maura shook her best friend until she woke up from her nightmare. "Hey, It's okay, your okay" Maura pulled Jane into an embrace which Jane fully fell into.
"I'm sorry" Jane wept into Maura's chest.
"Do not be sorry for something that is out of your control" A few minutes past before Maura slowly pulled Jane down onto the bed so that they were both laying on their sides facing each other.
"Thank you."
"For what Jane?"
"For being here. For staying with me"
"Oh Jane, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. You're stuck with me forever" Maura pulled Jane closer to her to which Jane wrapped her arms around Maura and they both fell into a deep slumber.
