I must admit, it's just what I've needed though after the past few days :/ so yeah...I love you guys. Anywhere...here's to Chapter 2 *cheers*


Against her word, Angela hadn't returned after five minutes. Having seen Maura running out of the room crying, she knew Jane needed a few moments to herself. When she finally entered the quarters where Jane was situated, Jane had just stood from the dresser, looking flawless in her strapless, ivory dress. It was what could be defined a "fairy-tale" dress. It was large, puffy and definately not something Jane would wear. She turned, showing her face, her make-up back to the perfect way it had been earlier. Nobody would be able to tell she'd just been crying. Nobody...but her mother. However, Angela being Angela, and wanting her daughter to marry before she died dismissed it, resolving to ask her about it later.

"You ready to go?"

"Yeah, Ma. Lets get this over with." She quickly walked past her mother and walked over to the bridesmaids, who were already ready for the wedding procession. She took a deep breath and held tightly to the flowers she'd been handed.

"Will Dr Isles be long? We really need to get started." Frank Snr. asked.

"I don't need a maid of honour, Pop, let's just go. Ma, you need to go sit down."

"Alright, alright. I'm going. I love you baby. You sure you got everything?"

"Yes, god, Ma. Wait...crap, no. My vows. Maura wrote 'em. I...I need them. Ma, they're on the dresser. In a sealed envelope. Go get them for me? We'll start."

"Of course darling. Go, go." Angela called, already on her way back to the room.

"Oh, Ma?" Angela turned, letting her daughter know she heard her. "It better still be sealed when I get it." Angela sighed, scowling at Janes retreating figure and rushed to get them as Jane began her walk down the ancient churchs walkway.

She couldn't look at Casey as she got closer to him, afraid he'd notice the look in her eyes and back out himself. If Maura wants it this way, then this way it'll be.

Casey could tell something was wrong as Jane walked down the aisle, without Maura and refusing to look at him. He knew it was wrong, that this wedding shouldn't be happening, but he's been through so much, they both had, both together and apart. He just wanted to be happy and thinking he made Jane happy, made him happy. Marrying her was just the cherry on the cake. Marrying Jane would make everything alright again. But Mauras disappearance unnerved him. After all their fights over her, why would she go ahead with this without her best friend? Confusion settled on his face, trying to decipher Janes body language, trying to determine what was wrong. If I was Maura, this'd be easy. He thought. Bingo. Maura.

Realising the reason behind his fiances behaviour, Casey sighed, knowing what he should do. But when she finally looked up at him, smiling cautiously, he figured he was wrong. It's just cold feet. She'll never admit her feelings for Maura and this could be my last chance. Resolving to forget what he realised earlier, he grinned back at the brunette and held her hand and the priest began the ceremony.

-x-

This is it, Jane thought. The ceremony was already part way through by now, but Jane had only just realised how much her life would change if she married Casey. No more sleepovers with Maura, not as many after work drinks, double dates with Maura and some poncy guy who'll she'll diagnose half way through and then be left. With us. Making it impossible for Jane to hide her staring. Can I really do this? Can I choose Casey over Maura?

"It's time for the vows. Casey, you're first." The priest informed the couple and their audience, pulling Jane from her thoughts.

"Jane. I...I love you. You've been here for me, through everything. I know we had a few years where we didn't speak, but talking to you again, I realised how much I missed you. How much I wanted you in my life. I'm so grateful you allowed me back in your life. Like you said, we're just two people who've been through some bad things. But we've also been through some good, some really good things. When you said yes, I was overjoyed. I couldn't believe I finally had someone as amazing as you. So Jane, I can't promise to be perfect and to never argue, or to never get worried when you have to work all night to solve a case, but today, I do promise that I will never forget what you've done for me, I will never let you be alone again and I will love you, beyond my dying day."

Jane was crying, again. She knew Casey loved her, more than she could ever think of loving him. Someone tapped her on the arm. Turning she noticed it was her mother, the envelope she collected earlier in her hand. "Thanks, Ma." She smiled lightly, leaning in to kiss her on the cheek.

"So, my turn. Casey...I...urm, hang on." She was struggling to open the envelope through her tears. Finally, she managed to tear it open and open the folded paper. She froze, staring at the paper. She could hear people around her mumuring, Casey trying to get her attention, but she didn't care. She was focused on the paper.

I'm in love with you.

Jane knew instantly that it was for her, not for her to read to Casey. She was shaking, the tears flowing freely now. "I...I...I can't." She raised her eyes from the paper to look at the man across from her, his eyes filled with sadness. She spoke quietly, to ensure no one overheard them. "I'm so sorry Casey. I can't do this...I'm not in love with you. I love you, I do, but not the way you love me. You deserve someone better than me, who loves you more than anythin' in the world. Someone who wants to be with you fully. Thats not me Casey, and even though I'd try, it never could be me."

He nodded, after a pause to take it in. He gathered Jane in a tight hug, letting her know he understood. "It's okay Jane. Truth is, I don't think I was really in love with you either. More in the love with the idea of being in love with you " This recieved a sad smile from the woman in question. "Go get her Jane, before its too late."

Jane pulled away, stunned at his comment."What? How?"

"I've known you for a long time Jane. When she walks in a room, you're the happiest I've ever seen you. I was wrong to keep you from that. And I hope you forgive me."

"Me forgive you? Casey, I'm jilting you at the alter! It should be the other way round!"

"I'm the one who was taking a woman away from the love of her life for my own advantage. It's all on me. Now go. Get the woman you love." He grinned sincerly.

"Thank you Case! I love you."

"Yeah. Well, I love you too. Now, seriously. Go. Before I change my mind." He slapped her jokingly, pushing her back down the isle. However Jane was quickly intercepted by a body in the walkway.

"Jane Rizzoli. You tell me what is happening right this minute!" Angela shouted, getting everyone in the churchs attention.

"Ma, move. I have to find Maura." She tried pushing past but Angela forced her back.

"Why? Janie, can't you just be a girl for once and do what I want? Just marry Casey and I will help you find Maura later. Why does this have to be now?"

"I'm not marrying Casey, Ma!"

"You're what? Yes you are, young lady. Get back up there now and say your vows." Angela hollered in her face.

"Ma. Stop. I'm not marrying Casey, I'm not in love with 'im. Now I'm gonna go find the woman that I am in love with. So, please. Move."

The elder Rizzoli, stunned at her daughters sudden confession, stepped the side allowing her to pass. Jane nodded her thanks as she walked away and ran out the church, without a single look back.
