This is what I do when I should be working.
For clarification: set after the episode with Ian. I can't remember which one that is.
Twenty minutes later Jane had already filled out the forms to the best of her ability and was alternating between pacing, sitting with a jiggly knee, and wringing her hands in the waiting room as she awaited word of Maura. She was by the doctor's side in a flash as soon as she entered the room.
"How is she? Will she be okay? Can I see her?"
The blonde doctor remained calm as she looked up at Jane, who was standing a mere couple inches away with her hands on her hips. "Detective Rizzoli, right?" Jane nodded. "Dr. Isles seems to be doing okay for now. The scan came back perfectly normal and we should have the results of the lab in a few hours. In the meantime, I can take you to see her." The doc paused, and her blue eyes seemed to grow wider with compassion as she placed a gentle hand on Jane's arm. "Maura is still unconscious, but she's stable. She's going to be okay, I promise."
Jane bit her lip to prevent herself from yelling at the doctor that she shouldn't make promises she didn't know for sure that she'd be able to keep. Instead she nodded and followed the doctor to where Maura lay almost peacefully save for the machine beeping beside her. Jane walked up and took her sleeping friend's hand, then turned to the doc who lingered in the doorway.
"Thank you… What was your name?"
"Dr. Cameron. I'll be back later with the results."
Approximately two hours later Maura seemed less like someone comatose and more like someone simply asleep. Jane hadn't left her side once. She simply sat there, as close as she could get without climbing into the bed, holding her hand and gazing at her. She willed her to wake up, to be okay. She just wanted her Maura to be okay.
Jane jumped as Dr. Cameron knocked lightly in warning before entering.
"Has she woken up yet?"
"No. Will she?"
"The tox screen shows traces of midazolam, a benzodiazepine. It should've worn off by now, but if it hasn't we can try flumazenil to counteract the effect."
"Wait, it's a benzo- what?"
"Benzodiazepine." Dr. Cameron gave a quiet sigh before delivering the news. "It's in the same family as flunitrazepam. More commonly known as-"
Jane cut her off, having heard the term from Maura before. "… Rohypnol. Maura was roofied?"
"It would appear so."
Jane was bemused but relieved it wasn't something worse and decided she could figure out 'how' after Maura was better and, hopefully, released.
"So it should've worn off by now? She's just sleeping?"
"I believe so, yes. Do you mind if I wake her up?"
"Let me do it." Jane turned to Maura and placed a hand on her shoulder, shaking her gently. "Maura? Maura, can you hear me? Maura, I need you to wake up. Please wake up, Maura. Sweetie, can you wake up for me please? Maura?"
Jane's heart skipped a beat as Maura began to stir. Her voice was hoarse and her eyes blurry as she began to try to sit up. "Jane?"
I own neither Rizzoli & Isles nor the lovely Dr. Cameron of the show House. I dunno why I stuck her in there. I like the woman, I guess.
