Hey guys :) Here I am again. I'm so sorry this chapter took so long, but you really gave me a hard time trying to decide how would be Constance reaction.

Hope you enjoy this chapter :)

The characters belong to Janet Tamaro, Tess Geritsen and TNT.

….

"Jane, can you please come here?"

That hideous, heartless woman! In her fancy shoes, with her "exquisite" water bottles! All the other rich people that idolize her should know that she's a heartless bitch to her own daughter!

Jane spent the entire car trip to Maura's cursing Constance Isles. When she saw Maura's door, she realized she had done the trip in half of the usual time.

She rang the door bell and started wondering about Maura's state. Normally, she wouldn't be a "dramatically-throw-yourself-to-bed-and-cry", but lately, hormones were having a weird effect on her, and Jane didn't know what to expect anymore.

"Hey…" Jane greeted gently, when the door opened.

"Hey." Maura replied. "Come in."

She wasn't sniffling, crying, or anything else that could tell Jane how had been the dinner.

"Do you want Poire Belle Helene? I have a lot left."

"No, thank you, that's too…exquisite to me." Jane answered, but then regretted the use of the word.

"A beer maybe?"

"That's my scene." Jane said, earning a small smile from Maura. She handed the beer to Jane and sat on the couch next to her. That was when Jane noticed a pile of used tissues behind her pillow.

"So… How did it go with your mother?" Jane asked, fearfully.

"How do you think? How do you think it can ever go with my mother?" Maura said, playing with a green pillow on her lap.

Jane studied her carefully, trying to understand if she was going to suddenly start to cry or yell or something like that.

"Don't worry." Maura said, feeling her friend's gaze on her. "I already had my freak-out moment, before I called you."

"What happened?"

The honey blonde sighed. "I told her. And she left…"

"Just like that?"

"Just like that…." Maura said rubbing her eyes.

Jane reached her hand, and looked at her with a sad face. "I'm sorry, sweetie…"

"It's not that I'm angry, or mad at her. I think I'm just… hurt. I was really hopeful that this would go well. It would…

"Change things… I know." Maura leaned her head on the couch. "I really wanted to be able to help, but…"

"You've been awesome to me, Jane. Really. I don't know what I would have done without your support. And your mother's…. Your mother has been fantastic with me."

"We already talked about that-"

Maura cut her off. "I know, Jane, I know we've talked about that, but now it's even more important, now that my mo-…

The doorbell rang. Both women looked to each other.

"I'm going. It's probably my mother who couldn't wait to hear about the dinner…"

But when Jane opened the door, she saw Constance Isles in flesh, and she couldn't formulate a single word.

"Hello, Jane. I didn't know you would be here."

Something in Jane flared up. "No, Maura would be here alone. Left alone. Maura doesn't deserve to be left alone. Especially by her mother. She's an amazing person who didn't deserve to be left alone. If you could stop being such a heartless b…person, you'd see that! You'd see how much your daughter needs you! You'd see how nervous she was about telling you!

When Jane stopped yelling, both Constance and Maura seemed in the verge of tears, one on the couch, the other standing at the door.

"I…" Constance started in a trembling voice. "I love my daughter, Jane. More than you can imagine. More that I can imagine. And Maura will soon experience this kind of love. But what… overwhelmed me the most was that, even if I haven't been the best mother to her, she wants me to be a part of that." She took a step inside, which, considering Jane's anger, was a brave move. "Maura, darling, I'm really sorry I disappointed you all these years. And I left because you were telling me that you're pregnant with such excitement hidden in your eyes that I couldn't stand the possibility of disappoint you again. I couldn't stand the guilt. But, darling, I want to support you as much as I can, and, if you allow me, I want to be a part of your kid's life."

Maura was speechless, and Jane was clueless, but kept quiet, because that was between those two.

"Even…" Maura finally let out. "Even if I'm a single mother?"

"Oh my darling, especially if you're single mother."

"Aren't you disappointed?"

"How could you ever disappoint me?"

And then Constance reached Maura and hugged her like Jane never expected to see coming from that cold woman, tears of joy watering faces and expensive clothes. Even Jane almost let out a tear. Almost.

"I think I'm leaving…" Jane said, but no one seemed to hear her. She smiled, happy that things had turned up well for Maura. She headed to the door, but a lot of baggage was blocking the entrance. "Hum… What's all these?"

Constance looked at Jane. "Oh, I forgot." She said, slightly letting off Maura."I cancelled my trip to Amsterdam and I was considering to stay here. With you. If you want me too."

Maura had to work hard for her jaw not fell off. "R-really?"

"Of course, darling. What, if you aren't you prepared to receive me, there's no problem."

"No, no, no! Of course I'm prepared for you, mother. I just didn't know-… didn't think you…"

Jane cut her off, trying to avoid her friend more embarrassment. "Well, I'm taking these to the guest house. No, no need to help me." She replied when both of the Isles women motioned to help her. "You stay here, catching up the conversation." She said, giving Maura a reassuring smile. And the one she got back told her that her friend had finally got all she wanted.

…..

"Good morning!" Maura greeted with an huge smile, entering the precinct.

"Hey!" Jane greeted, from her desk.

"Look at you, doc, all smiles!" Korsac joked.

"Yes, Sergeant, I had a good night."

"OK, I'm not sure I want to know!"

Maura raised an eyebrow and smiled. "With my mother, Sergeant."

"Oh, you two are finally getting along?"

Maura and Jane shared an accomplice look. "Yes, we are."

"Good for you, doc." Korsac replied, with a genuine smile.

Maura smiled back and approached Jane. "My mother asked to me to invite you and your mother to dinner."

"Why?" Jane asked, with a confused and almost scared look.

"To thank you, both of you, for all you've done for me."

"You know there was no need of that. Are you glad she's staying?"

"Yes…" Maura said simply, but her huge smile betrayed her.

"Hum… do you think she's mad at me?... You know, because of what I told her…?"

"No, no, she's not. We even talked about that last night. She's says it's good to know that you have my back, especially because of work."

"I do have your back." Jane said, smiling. "So, do I need a cocktail dress to this dinner?"

So the Rizzoli women had dinner with the Isles women. Everything went well: Angela and Constance were both pampering Maura all they could, and Jane and Constance were getting along well, for Maura's happiness.

Constance and Angela decided to share Maura's guest house. Hearing this, the honey blonde shared a look with Jane, knowing that she would be thrilled to get rid of mother in her house.

"So, kids, we take care of table, you can go to couch." Angela said, after they had finished tea.

Both Maura and Jane knew all their mothers wanted was to talk alone.

"It think it went well…" Maura said.

"Yeah, but just hope until those two start fighting for you."

"Let's hope not…"

"So, basically, the problems you were making in your head are already taken care of."

"Yes… At least for now…"

"Hey, hey! If you think like that, you have to start already being worried about… I don't know, maybe the possibility of having Alzheimer in your elder days."

"You're probably right…"

"I am right." Jane declared in a snob tone, and then laughed. "Now, all you have to do is take care of you and the baby, and enjoy your mother's attention." Maura smiled. "You're smiling like a five year old. If I knew this was all it took to make you happy, I would have called your mother and yelled at her earlier!"

…..

So, guys, what do you think? I wanted to have some drama with Constance, but I also wanted everything to turn out OK. I could never write Maura mad at her mother during the pregnancy.

Keep review. Give me your thoughts and opinions :)

See you soon*
