"Maura look at me please" I pleaded to her. "I'm sorry about last night, I was just so embarrassed that my mother walked in on us... having sex" I whispered the last part. "You know what Maura I realised something last night before all of this happened" I said gesturing towards the glass in my hip and the glass all over the floor. "You aren't just my best friend, you mean more to me than that, it wasn't just sex at all. I love you Maura, I'm so sorry I didn't realise this before but I do, its the truth and I care about you so much, hell I'd even die for you" I said in a shaky raspy voice.

"Jane" Maura practically whispered. She had tears streaming down her face. "I love you too but you hurt me last night, you made me think that all you wanted was sex and then you nearly drank yourself to death"

"I know and I'm so sorry Maura" I said as the lump in my throat began to stop anymore words flowing.

I looked at Maura and she had her back turned to me again, I wanted to wrap my arms around her and give her a big hug but, I couldn't because of the glass sticking out of my hip. That's when I made the decision, I was going to pull it out right now myself. As I grabbed onto the piece of glass I saw that Frost and Korsak had began entering my apartment, they looked at me and knew what I was going to do. "Jane don't do it" Frost shouted. The next few seconds were in slow motion, Frost and Korsak began running over to stop me and Maura was turning around to look at me. And then I did it, I pulled the large piece of glass out "arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" I screamed as loud as my lungs would let me and I threw the piece of glass to the floor next to me and then, I saw the blood begin to pour out of the large deep gash on my hip as everything around me went black. The last thing I heard before the darkness, was Maura screaming my name as loud as she possibly could.

The wait for the ambulance to arrive felt like years for Maura. The wound was pouring so much blood that the pressure of Maura's hands on top of the wound wasn't even able to slightly stop the bleeding. Jane laid so lifeless slumped against the wall and it made Maura's heart sink the fact a few moments ago this beautiful brave detective had confessed her love for the her and now Maura may see the love of her life die right beneath her. Once the paramedics made it into Jane's apartment the room started to spin and Maura began to feel sick and dizzy, if it wasn't for Korsak and Frost grabbing both of her arms then Maura was sure that she would have passed out on the floor next to Jane.

"Maura it's going to be okay, just make sure you let the paramedics know everything that you saw injury wise" Frost said quietly but sternly.

Maura stood in silence as the paramedics were working to stop the bleeding and get Jane stable enough to be moved and taken to the ambulance.

"Doc you need to tell them all the details" Korsak said loudly as if trying to wake Maura from the trance she was in.

"Yes, yes I know Detective Frost has already told me Sergeant" Maura spat out, it sounded more harsh than she had first intended but Maura was not concerned for one minute as to whether or not she had offended Korsak and Frost.

"Ma'am we need to know what happened and what injuries you have seen right this instance" shouted one of the paramedics knelt over Jane.

"When I arrived she was slumped against the wall with that large piece of glass over there sticking into her hip, the laceration is approximately 2 inches deep and 20 centimeters wide. She also has several lacerations to her body and face from the glass coffee table and lacerations to her knuckles from striking the wall in my home last night"

Maura was slowly trying to remember everything and trying to stay composed and professional so she could help the paramedics all she could so Jane would get the best treatment she so desperately required. The paramedics listened to every word Maura said with intense concentration. The details Maura was able to give gave the paramedics the knowledge as to what medical treatment Jane needed for her to be stable enough to be transported to hospital to get the surgery she needed. Jane laid pale and lifeless with her eyes closed looking awful and pained and not being able to do anything pained Maura. Korsak and Frost tried to get Maura to leave the apartment and get into their police cruiser to head to the hospital before the ambulance so they would be there when Jane arrived but Maura was being as stubborn as Jane usually is and demanded they go and she would accompany Jane in the ambulance, the boys not wanting to upset Maura anymore did as they were told and left the apartment ready to go to the hospital.

The paramedics loaded Jane into the ambulance with Maura hot on their heels jumping into the back with Jane never once letting go of Jane's hand.

"Maur" Jane groaned quietly.

"Jane it's going to be okay we are on our way to the hospital now, the piece of glass I specifically told you needed removing at a hospital is going to need surgery because you stupidly pulled it out" Maura shouted, surprising herself at the amount of anger she had toward Jane even when Jane was in a bad way.

"Maur, no hospital" groaned Jane.

"Jane we are on our way to the hospital right now and I will not allow you to not undergo the surgery you need to save your life" Maura demanded loudly.

"Maur I'm so sorry please stop being angry with me" Jane pleaded softly to Maura, a tear forming in the corners of Jane's eyes.

This made Maura start to cry too as, she did not know herself why she was so angry with the detective when they had both just confessed their love for each other in the last 24 hours, Maura should not be angry with Jane even if Jane had just disobeyed her and done something so stupid enough to injure herself badly again.

The wait in the hospital's family room was silent as Angela, Tommy, Frankie, Frost and Korsak all sat there looking at Maura unsure as to what they should say to her now that they knew what had happened the previous night. Maura quietly sat sobbing to herself and every 30 seconds she would look up at the clock wondering when a doctor would come and tell them some more information. The last time a doctor had been in to update them was at 13:30 when the doctor performing Jane's surgery came to tell them what the surgery would involve and how long the surgery usually takes. The doctor had said he would be back to inform them of any more news after the surgery was completed, it was now 17:48 and the surgery had been going on for 4 hours and 18 minutes however, the doctor had said it usually only took 3 hours and 30 minutes. This was therefore, making Maura even more nervous as Maura knew what it meant if a surgery took longer than anticipated because she was a doctor herself and a complication must have occurred for the surgery to still be in progress.

"Maura sweetie why don't you come over here and sit next to me" Angela said calmy and gently.

"Yeah come sit with ma, she will make you feel better even though Janie is fighting for her life because she drank too much because of you" Frankie said harshly whilst staring sharply into Maura's eyes.

"Frankie apologise this instance, none of this is Maura's fault Janie was stupid enough to drink herself into a state like that and Maura only asked her to leave her house after Jane was unkind to her" stated Angela angrily.

"Angela I am fine sat over here by myself but thank you" Maura said quietly.

Just as Angela was about to scold Frankie again for not apologising to poor Maura, the door to the room swung open and the doctor that had performed Jane's surgery walked in. Everyone in the room quickly jumped to their feet and walked to where the doctor was standing.

"Jane is in recovery, the surgery went well however there were some complications however, Jane should fully recover but the next few hours are critical as to whether or not the surgery was 100% successful" the doctor stated matter of factly.

"Thank you Doc" Korsak, Frost, Angela, Frankie and Tommy all said in unison.

Maura just walked back to where she was sat previous and sat back down leaving everyone in the room to wonder what Maura was thinking and whether or not Maura was going to talk to the doctor, doctor to doctor and demand to know how they had treated Jane medically like she has usually done however, Maura felt numb and was unsure what to do with herself. The doctor left the room after telling them all that Jane would be allowed a couple of visitors in the next 4 hours as Jane should have woken up and the medicine they gave her to put her to sleep should be wearing off a lot by that time. Frankie sat down staring at Maura with disbelief, thinking that Maura did not care about Jane and Jane was everything Frankie wants to be, Jane was Frankie's idol so he was not going to allow the doctor to sit there and say nothing when his sister was fighting for her life because of Maura. Frankie had always liked Maura a lot, Maura had always been so kind and gentle in Frankie's opinion however, now Frankie was questioning his judgement about the doctor.

"So I guess we can all take it in turns to go and see Janie, Ma, Tommy and I will go see her first then Korsak and Frost you can go in and see her after" Frankie said piercingly whilst staring at Maura.

Maura felt the hatred from Frankie aimed towards her and she needed to escape this cramped room and get some fresh air to clear her head. Maura gathered together all of her belongings and began to walk to the door to leave. As Maura opened the door and began to leave she stopped, turned back at all the faces looking at her in disbelief and said "I'm clearly not wanted here and Frankie keeps telling me that I am not so, I shall return later when you have all left, to see to Jane myself" Maura turned back and left without turning to look behind her at all of the confused faces she had left.

"Frankie that was very rude of you, you cannot blame Maura for what happened to Janie. You should apologise to Maura as soon as you next see her, I am certain that if Janie knew what you have been doing to Maura she would be very unhappy and possibly want to shoot you" Angela said sternly.

"I'm sorry ma but for now I can't even face Maura without wanting to shout at her for hurting Janie the way she did, you should be taking my side not Maura's side, Janie and I are your family not Maura. I'm out of here, I need to calm down and you nagging at me is not helping ma, I'll be back later when you promise to stop moaning at me" and with that Frankie got up and left, leaving Frost, Korsak, Angela and Tommy all sat quietly discussing Jane and everything that had happened.
