Ch. 3
"Oh good everyone is here, lets eat, Jane, Frankie help me bring the food into the dinning room" Angela Rizzoli said once Frost was inside and his coat was off.
Frankie tapped Jane's shoulder as she appeared to be frozen, staring at the front door.
"Yo, Janey, lets go" Frankie said trying to move his sibling
Slowly Jane turned to look at her brother, confusion coloring her features.
"WHAT IS GOING ON FRANKIE?" Jane asked in a harsh whisper.
"Dinner?" Frankie said playing innocent.
"No, Nope, you and Ma are up to something I just know it" Jane growled "And I swear when I figure out what, someone is going to pay." Jane finished stalking off into the kitchen to help their mom.
They all took their seats around the table. Frank and Angela sitting at the ends with Frankie and Maura on one side and Jane and Frost on the other.
"So Detective Frost"
"Oh call me Barry, Mrs. Rizzoli" Frost corrected
"So Barry, how's working with Jane? I imagine she can be a pain in the ass sometimes" Angela said shooting her daughter a pointed glance.
"Ma, come on, your always going on about 'no work talk at the table', how bout we not break tradition" Jane said desperately trying to change the subject.
"Ok fine, what do you want to talk about dear" Angela asked her brooding daughter.
"I dunno, how bout the Sox everyone loves that topic"
"Um, not to be rude, but why would we talk about socks? I mean if we are going to have a fashion discussion why start with socks?" Maura asked a bit perplexed by the topic Jane had chosen.
Frankie smiled warmly and the M.E. and placed his hand on hers as he explained.
"Not socks Maura, Sox as in the Red Sox,"
"Oh" Maura said a slight blush tinting her cheeks.
The sight of her brother's hand on Maura's caused Jane's stomach to tighten with anger. It's not that Jane didn't think they would be good together, wait yes it is. She wanted them to be happy but Frankie with Maura? Preposterous!
Frost noticed Jane's mood darken considerably, and noted that her eyes were locked on her brother and friend's hands. It was a short moment but he could tell this was going to be a long dinner.
"So, Jane tells me your good with computers Barry" Frank sr. said trying to break the weird moment that seemed to settle over the table.
"Um, yeah I'm alright. I'm no Steve Jobs, but I get by," Frost said turning his attention to the head of the table.
"A detective and a computer whiz, wouldn't that be nice to have around the house Janey" Angela piped in.
"Uh, I guess" Jane said giving her mother a confused glance.
So they were trying to set her up with Frost? And Frankie was after Maura? Had the world gone mad?
As dinner continued they made amicable small talk, but by the time dessert was brought out everyone was beginning to loosen up a bit, thanks to the wine.
"So there I am dressed up in Jane's church clothes and she in mine playing house as each other when in walks Ma" Frankie said between giggles.
"Oh god, the look on her face, it was like she had see a ghost" Jane said laughing.
"So what did she do," Frost asked.
"I told them to go show their father, and then we were going to go for a walk around the neighborhood," Angela said "well they quickly freaked out and begged me not to tell Frank, and said they would change and never cross dress again, course I have no proof they kept their word, but I'm pretty sure they were too embarrassed to do it again."
Maura had been rather quiet all evening though she seemed to be enjoying herself. Jane was worried that it was too much for the doctor. She knew how difficult live people were for Maura, it was one of the reasons she had never invited her to family dinner.
Jane got up to clear their plates and Maura helped despite the protests from Angela.
"Hey, are you ok, I know they can be a bit overwhelming"
"Huh? Yeah I'm fine, I just didn't realized when Frankie invited me that this was a set up" Maura said handing Jane the rest of the dishes.
"Yeah I'm sorry about that, can you believe they think Frost and I should date? They need to get their heads examined" Jane said turning around to start washing dishes.
"I don't know Jane you two seemed pretty chummy in there" Maura said a hint of sadness in her voice.
"WHAT? Maybe you need your head examined. Any chumminess you sensed is because we're partners, we spend a lot of time together that's all" Jane said desperate to make Maura believe her.
The evening was coming to end and Maura began to gather her things to leave.
"Well this was a lovely evening, thank you all very much, and Mrs. Rizzoli the food was delicious, though I doubt I'll need to eat for a week" Maura said putting on her coat.
"It was a pleasure having you Maura, I hope we can do this again sometime" Angela said giving the blonde a hug goodbye.
As Jane got up form the couch to walk her to the door Frankie cut off her.
"Wait I'll walk you out" He said opening the door for Maura.
"Thank-you Frankie, that's very sweet of you" Maura said smiling at him.
Again that knot of anger lodged it's self in Jane's gut. If she didn't know any better she would say she was jealous, but that made even less sense then her and Frost actually dating.
She didn't mean to be a creeper, but the opportunity was there, and she watched as her brother kissed Maura on the cheek and open her car door for her. Since when had he become such a gentlemen?
"Well I better get going to, big case and all, thank-you for dinner it was delicious" Frost said rising from the couch, "Hey Jane, you coming with?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, let me just grab my coat" Jane said turning from her spot near the front door.
Kissing her parents good-bye Jane and Frost made their way out side, just as Frankie was coming up the front steps. Jane's hands balled into fists as the sight of her brother kissing Maura flashed in her mind.
Grabbing Frankie's arm "You better not hurt her, I would hate to have to do something terrible to you since your family, but don't think that will stop me" Jane growled
"Wow, mama bear, I won't hurt her" Frankie said putting his hands up in a defensive position and struggling to keep the smirk off his face.
