As stated before, I do not own Rizzoli & Isles. They belong to Tess Gerritsen, Jan Nash, TNT, & Janet Tamaro. If I did own them, they would have been together in Season 1.

Thank you all for the amazing feedback, follows, and favorites! Here is Chapter 2, briefly covering the flight and into their first day in Paris.

The flight from Boston to Paris was rather uneventful for Jane and Maura. As planned, Jane had taken a Dramamine to prevent any unexpected motion sickness and as a result, slept for most of the flight. Maura managed to keep herself entertained with a little shopping on her iPad, reading her medical journals, and even taking a quick nap half way into the flight. Jane only woke long enough to eat the lunch that was brought around, and to glare at the flight attendant who seemed to be extra attentive towards her blonde friend. Jane usually wasn't the jealous type, but when it came to Maura, anyone showing her affection and attention sent the brunette's blood into a boil. She quickly recovered however when Maura completely ignored the attention and instead turned her focus on Jane. She even reached over and held Jane's hand, making sure she was okay during a small area of turbulence. The small gesture was enough to settle the former detective down and allow her to fall back asleep.

Once the plane had landed and the ladies had retrieved their luggage, Maura grasped Jane's hand, not wanting to lose the brunette in the crowds, and quickly made their way towards the exit and their waiting driver. The blonde usually made arrangements to have a rental car on hand when traveling. However this time she opted to only use a driver when going to and from the airport. Otherwise she would be walking or using the Metro for means of getting around the city. She had also read up on the boat rides and thought that could be something for her and Jane to check out during one of their days of exploring the city. Especially since the boat would take them to some of the major sights that they were wanting to see together.

Housing was something that had been arranged in the week prior to Maura leaving for Paris. She hadn't been expecting company, so she had rented out a one bedroom condo with a king-sized bed. She was a bit nervous about telling Jane that they would be sharing a bed for the next month, and also nervous herself to be that close to her friend without being able to actually be with her. While Maura knows she has amazing self-control, she fears that a month may be too much and cause her control to waiver. While in the car, she finally broached the subject of sleeping arrangements, and much to her delight, Jane seemed perfectly fine.

Once they arrived at the condo and Maura paid the driver, the two rushed inside, with Jane helping the petite blonde with most of her luggage. The two women stared in awe at the immaculate furnishings, especially the plush sofa and big screen TV in the living room area. The kitchen was much smaller than Maura was used to, but would be satisfactory for the small meals that would be cooked there. The fridge had been fully stocked with everything the blonde had requested, including several types of wine and beer for the two to enjoy.

"Maura, this place is amazing! Are you sure you're going to return to Boston after your time here? I'm going to hate leaving and I'm only here for a month!"

Maura laughed, shrugging her shoulders. "You forget Jane, I moved around a lot as a child. I will be perfectly fine to leave, even though the place is gorgeous. No place has ever felt like home other than Boston."

I don't expect it will feel like home anymore without you there with me. The blonde thought quickly to herself before walking down the hallway to check out the bedroom and bathroom.

Jane could tell something was bothering her friend, especially the way she quickly walked away. She decided to let it go for now and work on settling in for the evening. Even after a long sleep, Jane was feeling the effects of jet-lag and wanted nothing more than to relax and rest up for a full day of sight-seeing. Dragging the rest of the luggage from the front, Jane quickly followed Maura down the hallway and gasped when she saw the massive bed, with more than enough room for two.

Damn, that bed is big. Too bad, I was hoping to be stuck in a small bed where we would be forced to cuddle. Maybe I can still cuddle up to her, once she's asleep. At least if she wakes up before me, I can blame it on sleep and not knowing what I was doing in my sleep. Jane thought with a big smile on her face.

Maura had already pushed her luggage to the side and was lying sprawled out in the middle of the bed.

"Jane, you've got to come join me! This bed is amazing! It's so comfortable, maybe even more than my own!"

"Maura, that's impossible." Jane said as she slowly approached the bed. She was proven wrong seconds later as she lay down beside her friend and moaned immediately.

"Oh God, this is like lying on a cloud! What kind of mattress is this? I'm gonna need one sent to Quantico or D.C.!"

Maura had to stifle a gasp when she heard Jane moan. She decided in that very moment that hearing Jane moan was the single sexiest sound she had heard in her life, and she was determined to make it happen again at some point. The only problem was getting over her fear and finally admitting her feelings.

Jane had been studying Maura for some time, watching several emotions play over the smaller woman's face. She found herself getting lost in her friend's beauty and could not bring herself to take her eyes off of her. She knew without a doubt that she was meant to be here with this woman, and she didn't know how much longer she would be able to hide her desires or feelings.

Maura eventually came out of her daydream and glanced over at the brunette, only to find dark brown eyes focused solely on her. Hazel eyes met brown ones as Jane realized she had been caught staring. She searched those brown eyes, at first concerned at what was going on in Jane's head. Concern turned to pure shock when she realized she saw love in those eyes, the same love she felt burning deep in her heart and all the way down to her core.

"Maura…" Jane whispered as she felt herself being drawn in towards her friend. "Tell me to stop. Tell me you don't feel the same."

"I can't, Jane. I can't tell you to stop when all I want you to do is move forward. I also cannot tell you I don't feel the same. Not when I see the love in your eyes. I recognize that love anywhere, because it's the same love I feel right here." She said, pointing to her heart.

Jane shook her head at first; trying to grasp the speech Maura had just given her. Her heart soared and felt as if it would burst from her chest as the realization hit. She smiled a huge dimpled smile as she closed the distance, gently threading her fingers through honey blonde curls as their lips finally met for their first kiss.

Words could not describe how Maura felt as Jane's lips touched hers for the first time. Fireworks exploded behind her eyes as she slowly began to move her lips against Jane's. Moans were heard from both women as tongues met for the first time, and again as their bodies moved closer, desperately seeking out as much contact as possible. When they finally had to part for air, the friends rested their foreheads against each other, smiling and gently caressing each other's faces.

"Is this a dream?" Maura whispered, not wanting to break out of the moment.

"If it is, I never want to wake up." Jane whispered back, leaning in to gently kiss Maura's nose.

"Come on, let's get out of these yucky travel clothes, get into our pajamas, and get back in this bed. We have a lot of talking to do, and a whole lot of kissing to make up for." Jane said with a smirk.
