Ok, you guys keep wanting more. Be warned, I am making this up as I go along, have no idea what it's really about, and have no idea how to end it! Hope you enjoy. Any ideas let me know.

What had been a slow week turned into chaos on Thursday with a gang related double homicide that left both of them working long hours. Maura hadn't seen Jane outside of work for the past four days so the text message she received mid-Sunday afternoon caught her off guard. *Got that jerk-off! He just confessed.*

*Language. I've still got Jo.*

Maura had taken the animal Friday afternoon, so at least she wouldn't be entirely alone, and the small dog had been keeping the doctor company since.

*Got to do the paperwork. See you in a couple hours?*

*Yes, please.*

A little chill went up Maura's spine. They hadn't seen each other, much less had a chance to talk since their impromptu date, but she'd been finding little gifts on her desk. A bag of fudge clusters, mini muffins, a troll doll, which she still wasn't sure the purpose of. She herself had been leaving salads and sandwiches from the cafe for Jane, along with a new container of Silly Putty. She'd confiscated the other and wasn't willing to give it back.

R&I

Jane let the exhaustion she was feeling flow over her as she made her way in Maura's front door. Stopping just inside she began removing her boots calling for the doctor. Jingling tags announced the arrival of Jo Friday, as the little dog flew down the stairs and barreled toward her. Sinking to the floor she let the dog roll around in her lap in greeting making sure to give her a full body scratch. "She missed you."

Looking up she saw Maura standing there with a soft smile on her face, and a outstretched hand. Taking it the detective let herself be hauled to her feet, and wrapped her arms around the doctor, pulling her close. "I missed her." Burying her face in Maura's hair, she smiled. "Missed you too."

Maura squeezed her waist then pulled back, keeping hold of her hand. "Come on. Go change, Red Sox start in an hour, and the pizza will be here in 45 minutes."

"You're a mind reader."

Smiling shyly over her shoulder, green eyes twinkled. "That or you are a creature of habit."

R&I

Sinking onto the couch and turning on the TV was like some sort of heaven for Jane. She heard Maura coming around the couch and expected the woman to sit down next to her, but instead she was treated to the prim doctor climbing on the back of it and settling behind her. Strong hands landed on her shoulders, and her head hung forward as sure fingers worked at the muscles. "You're always tense here. You should really take more time to relax."

"I thought this was relaxing."

Tapping the back of Jane's head with her index finger she smiled. "Not what I meant."

The dark head tipped back, giving her an upside down view of Jane's face. Unable to resist she leaned forward and dropped a kiss on smiling lips. Her view quickly changed when Jane pulled her off the couch and onto her lap. Their lips met again, this time with more heat. Finally pulling back Jane's smile was uncontrollable. "I've been wanting to do that for days."

"Me too. Are you relaxed now?"

"Parts of me." Maura chuckled before capturing Jane's lips for several small pecks. The doorbell stopped them from going any further. "Pizza's here."

R&I

The pizza was half gone, the Sox were winning and Maura was cuddled up to her shoulder. All in all it was perfect. Until the back door opened and her mother came charging through. "Jane Clementine Rizzoli you should know better!"

Two heads turned to stare at the woman now standing in the kitchen with her hands on her hips. "Hey, whoa, what's with the middle name? What are you talking about?"

"You cancelled on Teddy Logano again!"

"Oh, yes I did, I had to work." Jane turned back to the TV no longer interested in what her mother had to say.

If she thought that was the end of the conversation, she was mistaken when Angela's form blocked her view. "You work too much! I called him today and reassured him you would be rescheduling."

The crowd at the game erupted in cheers and Jane's frustration grew. Maura non chalantly leaned around Angela so she could get a better view. "What happened?"

"Two run double with two out."

Pumping her fist through the air, Jane hissed out a "Yes!"

"Jane! This is important!" Her mother's face had started turning red.

"No, Ma it isn't. You can call Teddy Logano back and assure him that I won't be rescheduling. Now could you move please the Sox are actually over .500 this year. I'd like to see what's going on."

"He's a very nice man! I just don't understand why you won't give him a chance!"

"He's a 37 year old man who still introduces himself as Teddy. I wouldn't be surprised if he still has all his G.I. Joe's. On display."

A strangled chuckle came from Maura, who was still leaning on her elbow against the couch cushions to see around her mother.

"You need to go out with someone you can talk to about more than ballistics and baseball!"

Jane's mouth dropped open. That was a low blow, not just at her, but at her co-workers, her brother and most importantly, Maura. "Actually, my coworkers and I talk about more than just ballistics and baseball." Her voice became formal, and Maura turned her head just a bit to look at Jane. "We are also capable of conversing about fine dining (the new burger joint a few blocks away), husbandry (the newest edition to Korsak's lost animal collection), and the effects of climate change, (on that one, she'd just walked in to hear Frost complaining about the heat and ball sweat)."

"Always a smart remark with you isn't it?" A chorus of groans from the TV this time, and she looked over at the doctor.

"Pop fly, one man left on."

"Damn it!"

"I just don't want you to be lonely, Jane!"

"I'm not lonely Ma." Pushing the pizza box off her lap, she stood up. "I just got off three straight days of work, I'm tired and hungry, and all I want to do is sit here with Maura and watch the game in peace. I don't want to struggle into an uncomfortable dress and make awkward conversation with someone I don't know, and don't want to know. Please just accept that and stop trying to fix me up with the "perfect guy". You're horrible at it."

Carefully she ushered her mother toward the back door. "Fine, but this conversation is not over. It's time for you to settle down, maybe find a new job."

Chewing down the anger at that statement, she opened the door. "Bye Ma."

Walking back to the couch, she flopped over the arm landing her head in Maura's lap. The blonde's fingers immediately found their way into her hair. "She came on a little strong with that one."

Sighing, Jane closed her eyes. "Yeah, I don't know what's gotten into her lately. I thought with her actually having a grandchild now she would calm down. It's like she's gone rabid."

"You could have gone on the date if you..." Fingers covered her lips, and dark eyes opened.

"No, Teddy Logano will just have to look elsewhere. I'm interested in someone. I just hope she's interested back."

Kissing the fingers on her lips she smiled as they were lowered. "She is. Very much so."

More was said in the looks they were giving each other, and the fingers running through Jane's hair than words could convey. In the end words were minor things anyway. They never seemed to say enough. Somewhere an anxiousness that Maura didn't even realize was there released, and she took a deep calming breath.

"I've got the next two days off. I'll find time to talk to Ma. I'm not sure what I'm going to tell her, but I've got to tell her something."

"I'm fine with whatever you tell her Jane."

The detective sat up, bracing herself on the couch cushions and gave the woman a deep kiss. "Ok. How bout tomorrow night we grab dinner? Official second date?"

"An official second date sounds perfect, but this one is on me."

"Oh, and what will we be doing on this date, Dr. Isles?"

"That is for you to figure out Detective Rizzoli."
