The evening had finally come to an end; thank god!

The doctor was laying on her bed, trying to unwind; it was not an easy task to accomplish with the day, days, she just had…she sighed, it helped her relax.

She got the impression that she was getting deeper in her mattress as she felt her muscles loosen…when she suddenly sat down on her bed.

Jane froze she after stepping into her room, she didn't expect that kind of reaction.

"What are you doing here?"

That got the detective out of her stupor and she closed the door behind her, slowly and quietly, before turning back to the other woman.

"What do you think? Ma thinks we are…a couple, so she expects us to…"

She moved her hands really fast between the two of them to make her point.

Maura opened her mouth in a O shape as she understood. However the detective didn't stop here.

"Can you believe her? Watching me until I go in here!"

"It's expected, it should be normal to engage into coitus if our relationship was at the point of reproducing together, even if we can't technically procreate on our own"

"Are you saying we should have sex together?"

Maura frowned, she didn't like when she wasn't understood.

"No I'm just stating the fact that it's normal for your mother to expect that kind of behavior"

"She watched me walk through that door with a smile!"

"I didn't say that was normal! Actually…for your mother that…"

"Not the point! So not the point. Just move, I'll need some room in your bed"

Jane stopped in her movement when the M.E. exclaimed.

"Not in these clothes! You are not"

The smaller woman blushed as she realized the double entendre of what she said, and all she got from her friend was a raised eyebrow. She felt the need to explain herself, better.

"I…I mean…I know the way you live. Who knows what could have spilled on your clothes? Blood, coffee, sugar…"

"I get it, I get it. I can't get into your clean sheets with my dirty clothes"

"Exactly"

"But I can't get back out there to get some clothes; it's not safe to go to my car or the guest room. Can't I just borrow some of yours?"

"No we are not the same size, they'd be uncomfortably too tight on you, except in the chest area"

"Hey!"

"What?"

"My boobs are fine"

"I never said they weren't; I just said they were smaller than mine"

"Whatever, just…move"

"No, you won't get into my bed in your clothes"

"But! My mother could be out there!"

"Just…tell her you picked a sex toy and it's wrapped in your clothes because you knew it was a possibility that you came across her and didn't want to embarrass her"

That was the last thing Jane expected to hear from her friend; she opened her mouth a few times before she could speak.

"Really! Are you…!"

She didn't finished, she wasn't sure what she could say after that, it wouldn't matter anyway, she was tired and this had lasted long enough. She leaned on the bed, her hands on the sheets when Maura spoke again.

"No, no. No!"

"Oh come on!"

That was it, her shoes were already off so the detective stood up and unbuttoned her shirt, with more force than necessary, and did the same with her pants.

She didn't look up even if she could feel Maura's eyes on her; it wouldn't have been a good idea. She kept staring at the bed even as she got in; her friend had made some space for her without a sound

As soon as she was under the cover Jane turned her back to her friend. After a while she felt the bed move a little, she couldn't help herself.

"And don't even think about doing the coitus that's expected from us. You, Maura, are in the dog's house"

There was a pause, they didn't know how long it lasted before the doctor replied.

"No I'm not, I'm in my bed"

Jane couldn't help but smile in her pillow, but she stayed quiet and waited for sleep to come.

Something was bothering her, but she felt so good asleep, she didn't want to wake up, even less get up. In a groan she buried her face harder in her pillow; she tensed as she realized it was not fluffy.

It was warm, soft and it smelled good, just like…

She was scared to look up, and she was convinced the woman against her could hear her heart beat, really fast and loud.

Slowly she raised her face to look up into Maura's face; she was still asleep.

Jane didn't let out the breath she was holding, she couldn't when she was looking at Maura, standing so close to her.

The detective felt her lips stretch into a smile; she had woken up her face buried in the crook of Maura's neck, and it seemed she had wrapped her body around the doctor.

This moment seemed to last an eternity, and it wasn't long enough; it ended when she understood why she had woken up as she heard a voice, coming from outside the bedroom.

"Girls the breakfast will get cold"

Jane groaned after she heard her mother, she had no sense of privacy; she put her face back to where it was, against the M.E.

And closed her eyes as tight as she could because she had felt her friend become stiff in a millisecond, hopefully she'd believe she was still asleep.

She felt Maura squirm, and try to disentangle herself from the detective's arms and legs.

Jane knew she couldn't smile the way she wanted to, but as she felt the other woman get away she pulled her closer, tightening her hold on Maura.

"Jane!"

Woops!…as she had moved, she had accidentally grabbed one of her friend's breasts. And of course she couldn't move it fast away without giving herself away, she thought, or convinced herself.

She appreciated it as much as she could, even if there was a side of guilt; and she had this strange feeling she didn't expected, just by hearing Maura call out her name like that.

She faked it, waking up; she looked up…

"I'll come back later"

The detective looked at the door when she heard her mother say that, then turned back to Maura who had grabbed her hand and was pulling her off of her chest.

"Sorry"

Jane pulled away, not too fast, but not too slow; she just hope she wouldn't be suspected. She had a real apologetic smile…and cue the awkward moment.

Maura was holding the cover tight to her, while watching her friend bend over the side of the bed to grab the clothes she had left here the night before, then put them on quickly.

Once she was clothed and away from a sleepy Maura she turned to the M.E.

"It's still early, I have to talk to Ma before she put an add in the papers about the future new Rizzoli, or something like that"

"Jane? Jane?"

She couldn't leave like that; she stopped in front of the door and looked behind her shoulder to see Maura, and heard what she had to say.

"Do you think it's safe for me get out of the room?"

"Right now, it's not even safe for you to be alone with me in this room"

That sounded curt, it was because of all the tension she felt, of course at that moment most of it wasn't from anger; she knew Maura probably took it the wrong way, she hoped so.

Jane walked out in a sigh and just as she was out she sighed again when she saw her mother arrive, she had probably heard the door and came running.

Angela had a dish towel in a hand and a smile on her face.

"You are finally out, come get breakfast. When will Maura be joining us?"

"I'm not sure; she'll probably do as usual, take a shower and get ready before coming to eat"

Just after she said that she was hit by her mother with her dish towel, three times.

"Don't think I'll forget that you get it secret for so long while I was working so hard to find you someone!"

"I…we kept it private because…we wanted to see if it would work first! It's a big change and we wanted to be sure"

"You couldn't have told me before getting her pregnant"

"I knew you'd act the way you are now! And probably tell the news to as many people as you could, as fast as you could, even if you knew we wanted to keep it to ourselves"

She knew she had said the right thing, even if it filled her with dread, her mother looked guilty.

"Who did you tell it to?"

Jane had to follow her mother to the kitchen to hear her reply.

"I just called a few people, the ones who needed to know"

"No one needs to know anything so far! So who did you tell exactly?"

"Well, your brother of course, and your father…"

"To let him know you knew first"

"Jane! I'd never…"

The detective made a move with her hand; the tone her mother was using told her everything she needed to know about that, but she wanted to know.

"So only family?"

"Well, I called a few people… in the neighborhood and… at church"

"At church? why would you cell them to talk about your daughter and her new found lesbian lover?"

"Don't be so hold fashioned Jane! You know Misses Reese's son used to be her daughter"

Jane had her mouth open, hand stretched out in front of her; she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Doesn't matter, why did you feel the need to tell so many people?"

"You are nearly married to a doctor!"

"Ma! What the…we are nowhere near married!"

"You'd better be, this little Rizzoli'd better be born into wedlock"

"And I am old fashioned!"

"It's not the same Jane, you know it"

Jane rolled her eyes and sat down while her mother gave her a plate.

"That's between Maura and me Ma, don't interfere"

"But Jane…"

"Ma!"

They started a staring contest, which was broken when Maura walked in, a little apprehensive, but she seemed oblivious to the tension in the room.
