I know it's short, I just wrote this to keep the story going, the next one will be a song one I think. Please review so I keep going. Thanks!

After a few awkward silences, Jane getting frustrated and pushing to get attention, Maura's consistent protesting, a cast all the way to her elbow, a sling, and a long car drive filled with silent conversation between the ME and the Detective. Maura was thinking to herself about how much she truly missed her. Meanwhile, Jane was thinking about how much the relationship needed work. But they both wanted it. And they both wanted it more than anything. Maura looked at the Detective to see her eyes peering straight at her, with her eyes looking lovingly. They both reached out to grab hands, and once fingers met they both were shot with a rush of adrenaline. The ME was pulling back into her apartment parking spot, and when she pulled the keys from the ignition she pulled the detective right back in for another kiss. They could both say that it was absolutely perfect, but there was something there that was holding it back. Deep inside they both knew that it was the years apart that drove that wedge, but neither of them wished it to be there.

"Maur, I really missed you but you know that we need to work on this." The Detective spoke as she got out and opened the door to let the ME out. Maura, taking mental note of how she forgot what it was like to be graced with the presence of the great Jane Rizzoli. Jane wanted so badly to be with Maura like it was, but she was still angry with Maura. She decided to go up with the ME and then leave later. Even though it was 5:12 in the morning by then, the night was just beginning for the two, for they had been up since early that day. The ME knew that the bond between her and Jane wasnt at its best, but she was at least hoping to be able to sleep in her once again girlfriends arms. Hoping.

They both stepped inside, went straight to the couch and slumped down on it on different ends facing each other.

"Jane. That wrist should be healed by 6-7 weeks from now. Until then NO chasing criminals."

"Maur, me? Never!" The ME let out a laugh at Jane's comment as she finally understood the sarcasm.

"Well, either way, don't get hurt again. It is not the most pleasurable experience."

"I can't promise you that, Maur, not with my job. I can only promise to always try me best to do everything that you need, and what I need, so that WE work. Always. I just need some time for this."

"Thats... fine. Me too. Always. You and I."

"Thanks. So you should get to bed, honey. I know how you get when you dont sleep for more that one night." The Detective said as she rose to leave. Taken aback, because she was expecting to spend the time with Jane, Maura was almost put over the edge again. Of all the things that could go wrong that night they all did. But all the great things happened too. Jane was there with her once again. The thought of being alone that night scared her. Jane proceeded to get up and leave, but not until after she gave Maura one last kiss, whispering "I love you. Never forget that" in her ear and leaving.

Maura was overcome with emotion, and knew she couldn't handle it and began to cry. She heard the familiar voice yell "goodbye" and a door open she tried to reply, but her voice broke as she began so all the Detective heard was the sound of her about to cry. She called "MAURA" and walked over to the couch they had just been on. When she had little success finding the ME, she went to the bedroom. She immediately rushed up to Maura wrapping her left arm around her asking what was wrong. She got even more tears. "Maur, Tell me. I'm here."

"Jane, I am going to be direct right now." the ME hugged her back.

"anything, tell me" closing her arm tighter, while trying to use her right arm, but the pain quickly got the best of her.

"I know that you are still angry with me. I understand that you do not trust me completely anymore. I get that you want to start our relationship over. I wouldn't blame you. But right now, all I need is the comfort from your arms."

Without hesitation, Jane knew that she would be staying that night.

"Maur, I cant resist it when you invite me to bed, you know that" was Jane's reply, half joking to cover up her awkward feelings towards the situation. Smiles crept over the couple faces as the climbed in bed. Maura feeling the comfort and feeling she missed for years, and Jane finally getting the feeling of living for a reason again. The sun began to rise as the both drifted off to sleep with each other.
