Each has a past with pain caused by someone else. They become friends and fall in love with each other.

Maura Isles left New York behind, left him there. She was almost to her new home. Looking in her review mirror she could see that Jake was still asleep in his car seat. Smiling, happy she was finally away from the pain and the hurt. Maura was a doctor, she loved being a doctor. Her husband wouldn't allow her to work since Jake came along. Not that she was out of practice. Jake was only a year old. Now the only thing she cared about is her new home and her only family.

Maura could only hope nobody in this new town would ask to many questions about Jakes father. She didn't want anyone to feel sorry for her or Jake more she didn't want him to find her and take her back. Spying the sign for the town she turned down the main road still lost in thought and painful memories.

The blonde passed the library with a nice little fountain outside, the sheriff station and the diner. Thinking about stopping at the diner she seen the sheriff standing outside her car in uniform. Even though she noticed that the sheriff was a women. She passed right by the diner she wasn't in the mood to answer a bunch of questions or meet anyone just yet.

Thinking back Maura remembered everything he ever did to her. First time he slapped was on their honey moon he slapped hard enough that she fell over the coffee table. She just held her face questioning him. It got worse from there she was never allowed to question him. Always had dinner on the table when he got home. He made sure she knew to have it waiting for him. If he would wake and she wasn't in their bed he would find her and drag her by her hair back to the bed. Maura was afraid that he would hurt little Jake now just to hurt her. There was so much pain caused by her husband so many scars that she kept hidden.

Looking in the mirror again she could see Jakes blue eyes looking at her.

"Hey, buddy are you awake." said Maura

The little boy was only a year old after all and Maura knew he could not answer her back.

"Where almost there buddy. Then we can get out stretch and get a clean diaper. What do you say little man."

Hearing the giggle and the baby talk in return, Maura couldn't help but smile and hope that he would never find her here.

As always feel free to review good or bad i can take it.
