"You Santana Lopez?" Santana nodded. "I'm Detective Jane Rizzoli, welcome to Boston homicide; blah, blah, blah. Shall we go up?" Jane turned towards security and flashed her badge. Santana got given a sticker and the pair proceeded to the elevator.
"You gonna wear that?" Jane said, her eyes on the sticker on Santana's finger.
"Oh, yeah." Santana stuck the sticker on the inside of her jacket, completely out of vision. Jane smirked and nodded her head.
"Nice one, Lopez, I reckon you'll fit right in here." Santana had a lopsided grin on her face. So far, she loved her job.
"Morning, guys."
"Hey, Jane!"
"Santana Lopez, this is Detective Korsak and Detective Frost. Guys, meet the rookie."
Vince shook Santana's hand and smiled, "Welcome to the family, kid." Barry immediately looked down at the floor as soon as he recognised Santana.
"Frost? You not gonna say hi to my new shadow?" Jane said.
"We've met, actually," Santana interjected, "he hit on me last night."
Jane burst into laughter, "Oh my god, you so did!"
"Morning!" Maura sang as she walked into the bullpen.
"Maur! This is Santana Lopez, the new kid." Jane managed to say, wiping the tears from her eyes. Maura recognised her instantly and, with one look at Jane and Korsak, the three of them were laughing hysterically. Barry frowned and sat back down at his desk, muttering curse words under his breath.
"Dr. Maura Isles." Maura introduced herself as soon as she controlled herself. Santana smiled and shook the woman's outstretched hand.
ooo
"This is the most boring day in the history of the Earth." Jane complained, leaning back in her leather chair.
"Don't jinx it!" Frost said, stretching his arms above his head and yawning.
"I want to jinx it; I'm going out of my mind here."
"Great first day, right kid?" Korsak said to Santana, who nodded.
"Hey Maur," Jane saw Maura walking through the doors, "Brilliant day, huh?"
"I can't believe there isn't even one homicidal maniac today!"
"Huh. Queen of the Dead, don't know why the call you that!" Jane joked. Maura mocked offence and sat down next to Jane in her chair.
"Can't you get your own chair?"
"Plastic chairs aren't good for posture; I find that people slouch more in those sorts of chairs as opposed to a fully-supported chair such as this one." Jane sighed and shuffled over as much as she could. Everyone in the room jumped when a phone rang. Recognising her girlfriend's ringtone, Santana picked up and everyone else exhaled, realising it wasn't work.
"Hey, Britt-Britt."
"Hi, San! How's your first day?"
"Slow. Not much's happening. How 'bout you?"
"Having lunch before I go see a few possible studios."
"So you narrowed it down?" Santana asked.
"Yeah, I chose the two you liked and the one that used to be a doctor's surgery."
"That's 'cause I have the best taste in dance studios, honey." She said, making Brittany laugh.
"It's true. Hey, if the detective thing doesn't work out you could choose studios for a living!"
Santana laughed, "It is always good to have a back-up."
"Precisely. Well, I'll see you later. I love you."
"Love you too." Santana put down the phone and looked at everyone else in the room. Korsak looked unfazed, Frost looked awkward, Maura looked genuinely interested and Jane looked downright amused.
"What?"
"That the Mrs?" Jane quipped. Maura jabbed her with her elbow.
"Very funny. That was Brittany. My girlfriend."
"You're cute together." Maura smiled kindly.
"How'd y-"
"I can tell by your body language and tone of voice that you're comfortable around her and that just hearing her voice makes you happy."
"Yeah. I guess."
Jane's phone buzzed with a text.

"Eurgh. My mother wants to talk to me. And she used text language. Ugh, come on Santana; I'll show you the café, if you can call it that. Plus, I need the emotional support."
ooo
"What do you want, Ma?"
"Lovely to see you too, Janie. Ooh, hello, I don't think we've met" Angela turned to Santana, "I'm Angela Rizzoli."
"Santana Lopez."
"Well it's lovely to meet you. Anyway, I overheard Maura on the phone last night-"
"Ma! I told you to stop snooping around!"
"I wasn't snooping! I came in to ask her something and she was on the phone. Anyway, she sounded upset. I think the person was meant to meet her and they cancelled or something."
"OK. Thanks for the heads-up, ma. But don't spy on Maura!"
"I wasn't!"
Jane groaned, but accepted the coffee her mother handed her, "That all you wanted to talk to me about?"
"No, actually; your father called. He wants to take you and Frankie to a Red Sox game this weekend."
"Eurgh, I haven't seen him since he left. This is gonna be awkward."
Angela offered Santana a cup of coffee too, "So you'll go?" She said, delight and hope filling her voice.
"Of course." Angela beamed and kissed her daughter on the cheek. Jane scoffed and turned out of the café, Santana following shortly behind.
"Eurgh, what is this?" Santana complained, having taken a sip of the drink in her hand.
"Oh shit, don't drink the coffee unless it's a caffeine emergency."
ooo
"Jane, please stop drumming your fingers on the desk."
"I'm going crazy, Maur."
"I know, but please desist." Jane huffed dramatically and leant back in her chair, which she was still sharing with Maura. She looked around the room: Frost was amusing himself with his action figure, Santana was filing her already perfectly manicured nails, Korsak was making a dog out of blue tack and Maura was fiddling on her iPad. Just as she was about to suggest they all just go home, the phones rang.
"Rizzoli."
"Isles."

A/N: So this is more filler-y than I originally intended, but I didn't want to cram in the actual homicide bit. I hope I can update soon, but school is being a royal pain in my backside rn. Year 10 is gonna kick my sorry ass. Please review, I'll write quicker! Emily x
