Nope that wasn't the end :) But this is the last chapter.

One last twist for everyone.

(we own nothing)

Jane started to sensation of someone's breath on her lips. The feeling of her own limbs wrapped around someone else. The moment the form moved Jane heard and felt herself tighten her grip and bury closer to them. "No... Sleep. Warm." She groaned softly. "Stay..." Her lips moved closer to theirs. "..right... here." She whispered right against thier lips, thinking she was still dreaming.

Maura wondered if Jane could feel her heart pounding, that's how close they were. "Um... as comfortable as you are, Jane, we should, uh, probably start getting ready for work." The usually sophisticated speaking doctor barely managed. She seriously considered moving her lips against Jane's, for even just a small, sweet kiss.

That sentence... that voice... the position she was in. It's like Jane had dreamed it before. Opening her eyes she saw Maura's. "Maura?" She asked questioningly. "Are... is this real? Are you dead?" She asked really hoping she wasn't going crazy again.

"Uh..." Maura tilted her head slightly and furrowed her brows, her lips parted. "The last time I checked, I wasn't." She held two fingers to her pulse and nodded. "Yep." She smiled, having fun with Jane. "Still alive."

Jane reached up and felt Maura's pulse as well, tears coming to her eyes, but she stayed close. "Do we have a lunch meeting with a guy named Martian today?"

"We do. You know, he's the first I've ever met to have the name Martian. By definition, martian means of or relating to the planet Mars or its supposed inhabitants." The blonde started in her scientific tone. "At this point, scientific inquiry has not provided any solid proof that life ever existed on the planet."

Was it all just a bad nightmare? Deja vu? Or is this just a do over? Jane wasn't sure and it was still hard for her to believe Maura was right there, alive and well. "Well, we're not going to that lunch. I get another chance to make this day go completely different and I'm going to take it." Leaning in, Jane pressed her lips to Maura's and kissed her softly at first but the moment she felt the doctor giving in a little more, she deepened it dramatically.

Maura was definitely hoping for a kiss from Jane soon, but she certainly wasn't expecting one. Not after the way things had gone last night, her detective so hesitant. But after her initial shock - and especially when Jane's kiss became passionate, almost frantic - Maura gladly gave into her own desires, rolling so that she was on top of Jane, hair flipped to one side and hands resting on the side of her friend's neck.

After a few moments, hands buried in Maura's hair, Jane broke the kiss. "I'll explain everything later, but we're not leaving this house today." She smiled sweetly. "This is my second chance and I'm not going to pass it up... I love you Maura. More than you'll ever know."

Maura was utterly confused, but she smiled at Jane's confession. "I love you, too. I don't know what you mean by second chance, or why you're so reluctant to go to lunch now but..." She kissed Jane again softly. "I'm all for staying in bed with you." She whispered against soft lips.

Jane flipped them over so she was laying in between Maura's legs. "Lets just say I had a nightmare that I don't want to come true. Ever."

Well, would you look at that. It was a happy ending after all ;) For those of you that gave up on this story... well it really doesn't matter what I have to say because they won't see it. BUT! The ones that stuck around long enough to see this twist of an end, THANK YOU! I know most of this was painful but I personally don't think it was badly written. Thanks to my partner biggestnerdyouknow!
