Chapter 2
Jane heads of to the café shop a couple of blocks from the hotel when her phone rings; she takes it out of her pocket and doesn't recognise the number. "Detective Rizzoli." She answers.
"So formal Rizzoli." Say the familiar voice of Nick laughing.
"So Nick, what's up?" Jane asks.
"Well this seminars blow today. Wanna go grab a beer?" He asks sounding hopeful.
Jane thinks for a bit she really needs to get signed in for a few sessions. But what the heck there is always tomorrow, she thinks. "Hell yeah. Where and when?"
After receiving the directions Jane heads off to meet Nick. She walks into a fairly crowded bar she starts looking for Nick after a minute spots him sitting near the back so she grabs two beers at the bar before heading over.
"Hey Rizzoli. Good girl." He smirks taking a beer from Jane. "You need to catch up. He pushes a beer and a chaser towards her."
"Yeah, yeah we will see who's left standing at the end of the night." She says downing the shot wincing at the burn then taking a few mouthfuls of beer. "So how's Kate?" Jane asks setting her beer down.
Jane smiles as Nick's face lights up. "She is great, we are great. Expecting another girl in 3 weeks." He says beaming.
Jane can't help but laugh. "Another girl, what's that 4?" she asks.
He shakes his head. "Try 5." He says faking a horrified look.
"What? Who'd I miss?" she asks thinking of his other children.
"Well there's Gracie, she's 7 now then there's Ava she's 4, then baby Lucy and Sophia there 11 months. She made me promise this was the last." He finishes with a chuckle.
"Long winter?" Jane asks, they both laugh. "Well just remember Jane is a good strong name for a girl." She says with a wink.
"Yeah I'll bear that in mind, kind of running out of choices." He says laughing. He takes his phone out of his pocket and looks at the screen smiling.
"That the wife?" Jane asks smiling. He nods as he stands and answers holding two fingers to Jane. "Tell her I said hi." Jane calls after him. He turns and nods.
Jane sits there waiting for him to get back she finishes her beer and starts on the second, she looks around the bar taking in her surroundings then notices a pretty brunette looking at her from across the bar, when their eyes meet the brunette gives Jane a megawatt smile. Jane smiles back just as Nick returns to the table.
"Still the best kept secret in Boston?" He asks nodding his head to the brunette at the bar.
"Ha-ha." Jane says. "Still firmly in the closet when it comes to my Ma." Says Jane, Sadness clear in her voice and eyes. "I really do wish it was different." She says.
"Yeah well stop being a player and try settling down bet she would take it better if she could see you in love instead and in lust with woman after woman." Nick says seriously.
"Jesus nick. That was deep coming from you. Kate really was the best thing you never fucked up." She says laughing.
"I would totally take offence at your tone if it wasn't the truth." He says smiling at her. "Well am going to get another round for us. But seriously what perfume you wearing?" he asks laughing pointing to the other side of the bar to where the brunette was sitting.
She scans the room waiting for her eyes to catch up to where Nick was pointing. Next thing she is looking into what seems like very familiar hazel eyes, Jane can't help but smile. "Hi." She says and waves.
Maura waves back to Jane. And takes her drink from the bartender, then her view to Jane obstructed by some balding slightly sweating man who is slightly drunk.
Jane watches the man clearly of stepping his boundaries and can't help but feel a strange feeling. "Hmmm, this has to be jealousy." She says quietly to herself.
"What?" Nick says setting down their drink.
"Hmm nothing. Was wondering where you got to old man." She says laughing.
"Ha-ha old man we went to school together. That means I'm old than you're old." He says grinning. Jane laughs.
They spend the next few hours drinking catching up telling old stories getting louder and louder the more drunk they get. "Aw man look at the time. Kate is going to kick my ass." He says looking apologetically at Jane.
"What its only eleven." She says confused.
"Welcome to marriage and parenthood." He says then laughs at her horrified look. "Getting to go home kiss my girls goodnight then holding the love of my life in my arms is totally worth not being out all night getting drunk." He says as Jane stands with him the hug him good-bye. "Don't let it go this long again without catching up. Rizzoli." He says slightly gruffly.
"No way next time I am in the city I will make sure it's not for work and then I will come catch up with Kate meet the girls. And Jane Jr will be born by then." She says holding him tighter not ready to sy goodbye to her first partner and someone who was a really good friend.
"You want me to walk you back to your hotel?" Nick asks.
Jane loosens her hold and looks at him eye brows raised. "Dude I can kick your ass how is that any kind of protection?" she asks.
"That is true." He laughs. "Well that blonde is still here and has watched you all night. Just go easy with her." He laughs as he stumbles out of the bar to head home.
Jane laughs and shakes her head; catching eyes with the blonde goddess again she smiles at her as she sits down at the table again ordering another beer not wanting to turn in for the night.
"Is this seat taken?" A soft voice asks.
Oh no she didn't. Please review :-)
