A/N: The feedback I received for the last chapter was just amazing. Thank you so much guys. It really inspired me to write so I've written quite a bit lately so you will be getting another chapter soon. The previous was my favorite chapter so far so I'm really glad it got all this feedback. Also I'm happy a few people have been saying poor Maura because she really is a poor, naive soul. Anyways enjoy this chapter and review if you please. Also check out my tumblr if you'd like. I'd love to get some questions from readers or something.


Surprisingly Jane was overcome with sleep as soon as she hit her sheets that night. She awoke to her alarm refreshed and wide awake, another shock seeing as she was anything but a morning person. It was something she could only attribute to Maura's ability to get her to relax. It was both a wonderful thing and an infuriating thing. On the one hand Jane had gotten a full night's rest thanks to the honey blonde doctor. But on the other hand it was ultimately her fault Jane wasn't sleeping to begin with. And since Maura wasn't hers, she would not be here tonight to repeat her calming actions.

Jane readied herself for work, donning a pair of slacks, a v-neck t-shirt and a blazer, she attached her badge and her gun to her belt, grabbed her keys and headed out the door.

Arriving at the station earlier than most days (excluding the days when the always early to rise doctor stayed the night and forced her to eat breakfast) she decided to stop off in the café first and grab breakfast. Of course she would have to deal with her mother but after her restful night of sleep she was sure she could deal with her today.

"Good morning Janie." Her mother greets before eying her daughter questioningly. "Last night must have been some night if you're coming in this early without Maura. Who is the lucky guy that's got you smiling like that?" Angela Rizzoli asks.

Jane hadn't even realized she had been smiling and it immediately turned into her trademark scowl after her mother pointed it out. "No one Ma!" She declared. "I just got a full night's rest for the first time in a few days and I'm in a pretty good mood, one you've singlehandedly managed to ruin." What was I thinking coming here, like anything could make my nosey mother more bearable. Maura could be massaging me, hell kissing me right now and my mother would still manage to ruin the good mood it brought. Shit. Why did I think about that. Now I can't get those lips out of my head. Her thoughts were thankfully interrupted by her mother's voice.

"I don't get why you can't appreciate the relationship I try to have with you Jane. I'm just trying to be a caring mother finding out what or who is making my baby look so happy." Angela whines putting on her all too famous guilt trip.

"No you are being nosey, not caring." Jane retorts. "You're just hoping I've met a guy that you can marry me off to in hopes of making you grandchildren. Anyways I came here for pancakes not to be questioned about my personal life."

"Fine I will make you your pancakes." Angela remarks turning to the kitchen.

"I hope you make them with whole wheat rather than flour Angela. If Jane is going to insist eating so poorly then maybe you could at least make it a little healthier for her." Maura comments while walking into the café. "Good morning Jane. You look well rested. I'm glad to see you look better, but you really should improve your diet."

"There is nothing wrong with my diet. Pancakes are a perfectly normal breakfast staple and it's better than going without breakfast like I usually do." Jane says somewhat grumpy.

"Okay." Maura relents. "So how did you sleep last night? Did the massage help?"

At hearing this, Angela quarks up her eyebrows interested and begins to eavesdrop.

"I slept fine, thank you." Jane sighs. Great this is just adding fuel to her fire .Knowing she has this effect and being the caring person she is, she is going to try and come over every time I'm feeling stressed and massage me. I can't handle that again. I may combust.

"That's great to hear. If you have trouble sleeping again will you tell me so I can help?"

"Yeah sure Maura." Jane lies waving her hands at the doctor. Deflated, she rests her head flat on her hand held up by her elbow on the table. Day ruined already. I have to get out of here. "Mom can you hurry please I want to get in early and start making some calls." Jane yells to her mom getting angry.

"Okay. Here Janie." Angela sets her pancakes in front of her. "Anything for you Maura?"

"No thank you. I just came in to talk to Jane." Maura asserts.

Oh God she wants to talk to me. I need to go! But it will be suspicious if I leave without eating. She begins shoveling her pancakes into her mouth in a rush.

"I see. So what is this about a massage?" Angela asks with her interest piqued.

"Reawy ma? Di' I no' jus' tew you abou' bein' nosey jus' a secon a'o." Jane states while trying to eat her pancakes as fast as humanly possible.

"Jane don't talk with your mouth full." Maura and Angela scold at the same time.

Jane shakes her head angrily and swallows. "Just what I need. Two moms."

Maura looks at her unamused before returning to the conversation.

"Anyways Angela it was nothing. Jane has been having trouble sleeping and massages have been proven to relax the body and the brain so I figured I could help Jane relax so she could sleep. And it seems to have worked." Maura states proudly.

"I see." Angela draws out almost questioningly while looking at her daughter with a raised and knowing eyebrow.

Why is she looking at me like that. Ugh I really need to get out of here. "Okay. I'm gonna go. Lots to do today." Jane quickly grabs her stuff and rushes out ignoring Maura calling out to her saying they need to talk.

Maura looks down at her plate and sighs.

Angela takes a seat next to Maura and pats her on the thigh. "What's going on with you and her? I haven't seen her around the house in a week. Is everything okay between you two?" She asks.

"Yeah I think so." Maura sighs.

"Tell me what's going on." She pushes

"I think Jane is mad at me and she won't tell me why."

Angela tuts and pats Maura's thigh one more time before standing. "My Janie has always been stubborn. Give her some time. She won't stay mad for long."

"I wish she wasn't mad at all." Maura states sadly. "I have no idea what I did wrong but I hate having her upset with me."

"Like I said. Just give her time." Angela advises knowingly.


Walking into the office Jane sees Frost already at his desk on the phone nodding and agreeing to whoever is on the other line. He hangs up and looks to Jane.

"That was Major Jason Novak. He says the army has allowed him a temporary leave of absence to come and speak with us. He is leaving for a flight in tomorrow morning."

"Great so we should drive to Worcester and get into contact with her family in the meantime." Jane replies.

"No you will not. Just figure out something else you can do until then." Korsak reprimands.

"We can't waste time Korsak. They're obviously hiding something if they're ignoring our calls." Jane says angrily.

"I don't care. If anything that is more of reason to see if Novak knows anything about them before you confront them. Call them a few more times and see if they answer. Also we got the vic's address so go check that out and see if there is anything there. And then go see Maura and see if she has a COD." Korsak orders.

Jane sighs dejectedly. She picks up her phone and proceeds to call the family multiple times over the next hour.

"All right. They are still not answering. This is bullshit! Let's go check out her apartment Frost." She states grabbing her gun and blazer and heading out the door, Frost in tow.


A/N 2: You guys have been so great I'm going to give you some teasers on what is to come in the next few chapters though you may not like it so much. Frost is going to be a good friend, Everyone's going to meet Julia officially and have some views about her. And Jane is going to change her mind about something.
