I am really sorry I haven't updated in a while (last update was in August on my birthday). This is going to be a sad chapter so have your Kleenexes ready and this might be the last chapter.


One month later

Maura is walking in a hallway inside of an apartment building and knocks on the door for apartment 502. The door opens and the person sighs.

"Maura, thank God you are here." Callie said.

"I got your message, and I took the first flight out. She still hasn't gotten out of bed yet?"

"No, and I don't know what to do anymore. She's not the same person." Maura places a hand on Callie's shoulder.

"You go do your errands, and I will handle Arizona." Callie nodded and left. Maura opened the bedroom door and Arizona had her back to her.

"Go away Callie!" Arizona yelled.

"I would but I am not Callie." Maura replied and Arizona turned around.

"Maura? What are you doing here?"

"Callie called me." Arizona scoffed.

"No, Arizona, just hear me out okay? Look, I know that since you've lost your leg, you feel like you can't do anything anymore. But that's not true. You can get a prosthetic leg and a few months, you can go back into the OR-"

"No. I am not going back into the OR." Arizona said firmly.

"Yes you are. Look at you. You are not the same, Arizona. The Arizona I know is happy and loves to crack jokes, but the person that I am looking at now...is not the Arizona that I know." With that, Maura walked out of the bedroom and out of the apartment. Maura picked up her phone while in the elevator and called Jane.

"Hey Maura, how did it go?" Jane asked when she picked up the phone.

"It went horribly."

"Why? What happened?"

"She refuses to get a prosthetic leg and she will not step back into the OR or even the hospital. She just lies in bed all day."

"You are doing the best that you can. Arizona sees that you still care for her, otherwise you wouldn't in Seattle."

Maura sighs. "I know that. Anyway, I'm heading to the hotel to try and get some sleep then I am on the first flight for Boston in the morning since we are getting married tomorrow."

"Fly safely. I love you, Maura."

"I love you too, Jane." After hanging up the phone, Maura got into a taxi and instead of heading to the hotel, she headed to the airport to surprise her fiance.


Jane and Maura's House

Jane was cleaning the kitchen of her and Maura's house. Shortly after the plane was found, Maura and Jane decided that Jane should move back into Maura's house.

When Jane finished cleaning the kitchen, she went up into the bedroom and laid down in the bed and fell asleep. She woke up to someone kissing her neck. Jane opened her eyes and sat up in the bed.

"Maura? What-"

"Shh. Jane. As soon as I left Callie and Arizona's apartment, I caught the first flight back here." Jane leaned in and kissed her. Maura pulled away.

"Now, you have to go." Maura said.

"What? Why?" Jane whined.

"You cannot see me until tomorrow...well, actually, later today since it's one in the morning. Just think Jane, at this time tomorrow, we will be married." Jane smiled and reluctantly got out of bed and grabbed her jacket and put on her shoes. Jane kissed Maura one last time then got into her car and drove to her apartment.


The next morning, the make-up team took two hours on each woman to hide the bags under their eyes, but it was all worth it. Jane was at the door to the altar when Frankie walked over to them.

"Hey sis. You ready for this?"

"Yeah. I've been ready since the day I met Maura. And thank you for being my best man." Jane asked Frankie to be her best man, while Maura asked Frost to be her best man.

"You're welcome. Now, lets get this going. Don't want Maura to see you yet." When the music started, Jane and Frankie walked over to the alter and stood there waiting in anticipation for Maura. Jane looked around in the crowd and saw two people that she didn't expect to see. Sitting on Maura's side of the church was Callie and Arizona.

When the doors opened up, everybody got up and there stood Maura in a beautiful white dress with silk turquoise blue around the stomach just under her breast.

"Wow." Jane said to Frankie. When Maura reached them, Jane looked at her and mouthed 'Arizona and Callie are here.' Maura's eyes bulged out. Once it was time to say the vows, Jane took Maura's hands into hers and looked into her eyes, trying to keep the tears from spilling from her eyes at the same time.

"Maura, it seems like a lifetime ago that we met for the first time. You are my best friend, my lover, but most importantly...you are my soul mate. Almost a year ago, we met again after fifteen years apart and my love for you has grown stronger. I will always love you, Maura, until I breathe my last breath."

Maura smiled at Jane, then took a deep breath.

"Jane, I knew from the moment I laid my eyes on you our senior year, I knew that I somehow wanted you in my life forever. You are the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, and the one to start a family with. But most importantly, you are the love of my life and you make me happier than I could ever imagine and more loved than I ever thought possible. I am blessed to be a part of your life and would not trade a day we have shared for anything. I cannot imagine my life without you."

After exchanging of the vows and the minister pronouncing them as married, Jane and Maura shared their first kiss.

"We did it! We are finally married!" Jane said as they were in the limo on the way to their reception at the State Room on the 33rd floor. Once they arrived, they were greeted by their friends and their loved ones. When it was time for the first dance, both Jane and Maura knew what song to dance for...Can't Fight This Feeling by REO Speedwagon. The song that they danced to 15 years ago at their senior banquet. After dancing for a while, Jane and Maura sat down and Constance walked over to the microphone.

"Hello. I am Constance Isles and I welcome all of you to this special occasion in my daughter's life. As Jane and Maura begin their lives together; James and I both feel that we are not losing Maura, but entrusting her to Jane's good care! We feel we have gained another daughter. When Maura told me she and Jane were finally getting married, I knew then that my little girl had grown up. She has been a blessing to my life and am sure she'll be the same to Jane. Congratulations to you both." Jane and Maura stood up and hugged Constance then Frankie got up.

"Well, I guess it's my turn. For those who do not know me my name is Frankie Rizzoli. Jane, is my sister. I feel privileged to share in this beautiful occasion but I feel even more honored to give a speech. On behalf of the entire family, I would like to take this opportunity to invite Maura, my new sister in-law into our family. To Jane and Maura, may your life be filled with laughter, love, and happiness." Jane and Maura hugged him and Frost got up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Barry Frost. Maura and I have known each other for a while now. Since then we have shared memorable moments and her wedding is no exception. Maura has always been there for me. I remember one time when... When she told me she was getting married ... Her wonderful nature and patience are some of her wonderful characteristics... I would just like the other bride to know that in Maura, she has found a worthy companion who will honor her wedding vows. As I end my speech, I leave with this quote 'may the roof above you never fall in and may you both never fall out.'''

As the reception was winding down, Maura asked Callie a favor.

"Callie, I know you hate speaking in public, but can you please sing 'The Story' for me and Jane? Please?" Maura asked. Callie sighed and smiled.

"Of course."

"Thank you." Maura walked over to Jane.

"Come on babe. This is our last song for the reception then we are going on our honeymoon."

Jane got up and grabbed Maura's hand and walked to the dance floor one last time. Callie got up on the stage and cleared her throat and started singing.

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am

But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true, I was made for you

I climbed across the mountaintops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
but baby I broke them all for you

Oh, because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do, and I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of our friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess

No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through
Like you do, and I was made for you

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am

But these stories don't mean anything
If you've got no one to tell them to
It's true, that I was made for you
Oh yeah, well it's true that I was made for you


Five Years Later

Maura is sitting on the bed sobbing. The past week was rough for her and the rest of the Rizzoli-Isles family. Now, Maura, Jane, their four year old son Preston, and the rest of the family were going to bury their beautiful angel, their daughter they named Jennifer Grace Rizzoli-Isles. Maura was seven months pregnant when she knew that something was wrong. When she and Jane arrived at the hospital and got an ultrasound done, the doctor broke the news that Maura had a stillborn daughter. Jane was downstairs entertaining the rest of the family when Angela pulled her aside.

"Jane, you should go upstairs and go be with Maura for a little bit. I'll let you know when the car arrives." Jane nodded her head and slowly walked up the stairs. Once she reached the door, she grabbed the door knob and slowly opened the door. She shut the door and sat down next to Maura on the bed. Maura wrapped her arms around Jane and cried on Jane's shoulder.

"What did I do wrong, Jane?" Maura asked.

"You did nothing wrong." Jane said then kissed the top of Maura's head and just held her wife until the car came for the family. The only time Jane let go of Maura was when they were entering and exiting the car, but other than that, they were glued to the hip.

After the burial, Jane bends down to Preston's level.

"You okay, buddy?" Jane asked.

"Yeah. 'Snot fair." Jane kissed his forehead and picked him up and grabbed Maura's hand.

"I know, but we will be a family again and be with Jennifer." Jane said and looked over at Maura and she nodded and placed her head on Jane's shoulder and they walked back to the car.


Well, what did you think?
