AN: I apologise unreservedly for the extended hiatus; it would appear that I have been suffering from a bad case of Mono (that will teach me to kiss a random hot woman. Life lesson learned & applied) Again, thank you for all of the follows, favourites & DM`s. Every one of you have kept my spirits high during the worst couple of months when all I wanted to do was crawl into the foetal position & sleep. (which I did a lot of apparently) or possibly die?

I would specially like to thank Terri411 who cheered, encouraged & motivated me back into the saddle & with all the love you guys have shown I thought this was the appropriate place. I`m a tad rusty & fragile so be mindful & kind.

I do not own Rizzoli & Isles if I did at the end of season 7 they would drive off into the sunset all `true loved` up.

TW for a smidgeon of angst & a sprinkling of sexy times.

Oh Brother

Chapter 4

It was the rhythmic tip tapping of the rain against the window pane that finally roused Jane from her slumber, carefully opening a swollen eye she tried to focus on her surroundings, blurred images came in and out of focus as the light assaulted her retinas causing a flood of nausea and a bolt of white hot searing pain to stab behind her eyes. Coughing Jane tried to sit up her ribs and every muscle groaning in protest

"Sussssh. Detective lay still, you`ll only do yourself more damage if you insist on sitting. You have many contusions and abrasions and I`m wagering a few cracked ribs"

"M-M-Maura?" Jane`s voice cracked

Maura held a bottle to the brunette's lips tipping it slightly Jane gulped greedily at its contents

"Small sips Detective, small sips. I wouldn`t want you to vomit"

Jane turned her head coughing, grimacing with pain

"Maura w-what… I-I…"

"Rest now. We will talk later" Maura placed a tender lingering kiss atop the detective's clammy forehead "Rest. I`ll be right here, you're safe. I`m not going anywhere"

Janes eyes fluttered closed "L-love you" she ghosted falling back into a deep slumber

Smiling lovingly upon the Detectives beautiful if bruised features Maura tenderly swept back thin strands of brunette splayed across a sticky forehead.

"I know"

Placing a last gentle kiss atop the brunette`s forehead Maura moved quietly to the rocking chair by the window, picking up her book from the small table she continued reading carefully listening for any signs of distress from the brunette as the rain steadily fell against the window.

R&I

"NOOOOO." Jane screamed thrashing involuntary under the sheet her pulse racing, breathing shallow and laboured. Fisting her vest Jane shot up, standing beside her instantly Maura rested a reassuring hand upon her shoulder

"Jane, sweetie. Its ok I`m here you're in my bed at home."

"H-Home? Maur. Maura. He was. There was. It-it was. Oh my god I-I… He, he… You"

"You're safe Jane. I`m here. I promise I'll keep you safe" Maura cooed soothingly

"How long. H-how long have I been here?"

"Seven days"

"Seven days? I`ve gotta get to BPD I have to-to-to explain" Jane tried to rise from the bed a low growl of discomfort escaping her lips with the motion. Maura pressed her hand a little more forcefully upon the Detectives shoulder restraining her from rising any further

"Jane please. I`ve been in contact with Detective Korsak at BPD and with Special Agent Dean at the FBI. You certainly have some explaining to do but due to the rather strange and extenuating circumstances surrounding you and the persuasive prowess of a certain Medical Examiner you are able to remain here under my supervision. Can I trust you not to run and to be compliant with Dr`s orders?" Maura winked

"H-how"

"For now I would like you to remain in bed whilst I go and prepare our lunch. There are many things for us to discuss and for that you need to be rested. Please just try to rest and I will be back shortly"

"Do I have a choice?"

"I suppose not Detective but do you really wish to run from me, from us?" Maura rubbed her swollen abdomen

There was a brief silence

"No"

R&I

It was Jane who broke the uncomfortable silence that had descended as they ate together in Maura`s bedroom an hour later

"Huh. Who`d have thought I`d ever willingly eat soup, go figure. It`s good though, what`s in it?"

"It`s a favourite recipe of mine, vegetable stock, chopped onion, kale, chopped tomatoes, white potatoes, drained cannellini beans, Italian herbs, dried parsley and a sprinkling of salt and pepper to taste. It contains all of the vitamins, minerals and nutrients our baby requires to grow strong and healthy"

"Jeez Maura I didn`t ask for the recipe…" Jane rolled her eyes

"You asked what`s in it I merely stated the ingredients as I added them into saucepan"

"You made this from scratch?" Jane asked incredulously "It`s all I can do to work the can opener"

"Well Detective you should know I am highly skilled in the kitchen as well as, other places… and you should not judge everyone by your own mediocre standards."

"Mediocre?" Jane`s eyebrow rose

"At best Detective" Maura winked cheekily

They both laughed easing the awkwardness and tension that had threatened to surround them

"Thank you Maura for-for taking me in when I didn`t deserve your kindness or help. How did I even get here?"

"My father brought you. I think it`s time you were completely honest Detective and divulged all the sordid little details you promised over a week ago. Just how deep does the relationship between you and my father go?"

"Maura we`ve already discussed this"

"I want every detail Detective and no lies"

"It`s fucked up Maura. I fucked up and I`m probably going to spend a long time in jail, I don`t see any other outcome. There is no denying your father is a criminal and has done unspeakable things and is wanted in relation to at least fifteen murders that we know of, but the way I see it I chose the devil you know rather than the devil you don`t and trust me the devil waiting in the dark to take your fathers mantle makes Paddy Doyle look like a fucking day out at Disney."

"You admire my father?"

"What. No. I don`t know. In some ways maybe?"

"The beating?"

"Punishment for failing you"

"Failing me?"

"Paddy knew that I-that I had developed feelings for you and made me swear on my honour as a BPD Detective to protect you, he then placed me in a no win situation between proving my honour as a BPD Detective and my loyalty to him. In your father's eyes crossing the line suppling false information to the FBI for all those months keeping him out of jail impugned my honour, many people believe that honour and loyalty to be interchangeable, one in the same, Paddy Doyle is not one of those people. I will always regret my decision for leaving you to wake up alone in that hotel room after the most incredible night of my life.

"The test?" Maura grit through clenched teeth

Jane audibly gulped closing her eyes she knew her answer would hurt the blonde

"To remain with you keeping my promise, proving my honour or walk away returning to BPD and the FBI when he texted never seeing you again proving my loyalty to him. I know no South, no North, no East, no West, to which I owe any allegiance… The Union, Sir, is my country"

"Henry Clay" Maura whispered worrying her lip, the sentiment of the statement not lost on her "But you obviously cared so little for me that you let my father manipulate you"

"No that's not true. You meant-mean everything to me Maura"

"Then help me understand Detective. I do not understand why you chose to return to the FBI when my safety was paramount, surely staying and protecting me would have proven your loyalty?"

"Don't you see Maura my honour as a BPD detective was worthless I had to choose fealty to Paddy no matter how much my heart wanted to remain with you, it was the only way he would ever trust me with his most precious creation, you Maura, you"

"I am sorry for my father's actions against you"

"Don`t do that. Don't you ever apologise for Paddy Doyle, none of this is your fault"

Maura removed the tray from Janes lap

"I think we both need to process what we have discussed; you look tired; I know I am. I`m going to pop the crockery into the dishwasher and rest for a few hours you should do the same"

"Maura, would-would you maybe come rest with me? I-I don`t want to be…"

"Jane I don`t…"

"Look. I know things aren't great between us and I don`t expect your forgiveness but I`m asking, please-please just hold me?"

"Jane… I can`t. I`m sorry. I don`t want to give you false hope, you hurt me and I am unsure that that hurt can ever be repaired"

"I understand." Jane couldn`t hide the devastating disappointment in her voice

R&I

Waking to a weight pressed against her front, goose bumps ghosted Jane`s flesh as soft fingertips gently stroked her arm, smiling she deeply inhaled everything Maura her heart skipping an irregular beat.

"You should be sleeping Detective"

"Ditto"

"Hmmm" Maura`s sleepy reply as she pressed her naked soft body closer into Jane

"Maura" Jane warned gasping as her morning wood rubbed and pushed up between the blonde`s ass cheeks

"I would like to make love to you Jane"

Quickly straddling the brunette Maura began rubbing her pussy along Janes pulsating member, her hips rotating in slow deliberate circles as Jane gripped her ass pressing her cock against the blonde`s silky wetness.

"Maura" Jane almost begged

Jane was silenced with a passionate kiss a hot tongue thrusting into her mouth. Manoeuvring herself onto the tip of Janes erection Maura lowered her dripping folds gently onto its shaft, taking an ample bosom into her hand Janes mouth encompassed a pert brown nipple sucking gently

"Harder" Maura begged

Jane suckled harder alternating each nipple in turn and with each suck Maura`s core tightened around the brunettes swollen member. Resting back on her haunches Maura threw her head back, speeding up the roll of her pelvis the blonde`s hand drifted along her swollen abdomen, her fingers finally reaching their destination drawing lazy circles around her moist clit whilst her other hand kneaded an ample bosom, fingers pinching and pulling a kiss swollen nipple. Janes eyes darkened with desire as she watched Maura in awe, moaning with pleasure as each rise of her hips met a roll of Maura`s pelvis.

Grabbing Maura`s hips Jane began to dictate the pace as Maura leaned forward her hands resting forcibly upon the brunette`s shoulders riding her shaft hard and fast, kissing with all the fervour of teenagers Jane felt the tingling warmth in her abdomen begin to spread as her throbbing hard member begged for release, feeling the twitch within her core Maura teased the pace

"Not yet Detective"

"You`re driving me insane" Jane breathed

"I want to feel you cum inside of me Jane, I want us to orgasm together. I want you Jane, all of you."

Pressing herself harder onto Jane rotating her hips in circles Maura`s core tightened as she once again began riding Jane hard and fast, taking her length to the hilt Maura moaned with every upwards thrust of Janes hips, holding Janes chocolate eyes Maura felt her own orgasm begin to ripple within her core her whole body shaking and vibrating with an intensity she had never felt before

"Stay with me. I`m going to cum baby. Cum with me baby right now deep inside"

Jane groaned as she released her load deep inside of Maura, her member pulsating as the velvety walls of the blonde's core tightened and pulsated around her shaft milking every drop of cum from her ball sack. Breathless and spent Maura nestled into the brunette`s side as Jane`s spent member lay flaccidly upon her abdomen, tender loving kisses were shared in a post coitus haze, the two women lost within their own thoughts and the moment.

"That was…"

"Amazing. Intense. Awesome and did I mention amazing?" Jane giggled placing a tender kiss to honey hair her sour mood buoyed by the unexpected turn of events

"All of those" Maura replied lazily tracing her fingertips over Janes still heaving chest as Jane`s arms tightened around her drawing their bodies closer still "Why does this feel so right?"

"I don`t know"

Janes body stiffened, her eyes closed as she felt a wetness on her chest

"Maura. What is it baby?"

"I`ve only made love with someone once before and I`m afraid. I`m afraid because the last time I made love I fell into a blissful sleep that turned into a waking five-month nightmare"

"Baby…"

"Now I`m afraid to fall asleep in your arms for fear of… and I-I… just… I can`t…"

Jane tiled Maura`s head so she could smile into tearful green orbs, placing her swollen lips to Maura`s all of her feeling`s for the blonde expressed in a perfect, delicate chaste kiss, breaking contact Jane`s thumb gently wiped away Maura`s errant tears

"I love you. I`ve loved you since the very first time I saw you and I know I haven`t done or said the right things, far from it but I know there`s a chance for us and as clichéd and totally inappropriate as it is, once we`re happily married and our daughter is born I`d like nothing more than to make another life with you, if that is what you wish. I am never leaving you or our daughter. I love you and I wish to marry you"

Maura captured the brunette`s lips in a searing kiss

"I love you Jane but that does not mean I forgive you. You broke my heart"

"I broke mine too"

"Do you love me?"

"Yes"

"Are you in-love with me?"

"Yes"

"Will you love our daughter?"

"I already do"

"Will you lie to me?"

"NO"

"Will you abandon us"

"Never"

"Are you still working for my father?"

"Yes"

Pushing away from Jane`s embrace scrambling across the bedroom throwing on her bath robe Maura strode from the room.

AN: Sorry but you should be happy, remember Rizzles is endgame so that must mean at least one more chapter.
