As it turns out I seem to think better when I should be sleeping I honestly like this chapter more but for some reason I think I made Jane sound smarter then Maura. What do you think?

The brunette breathed out heavily. There was so much to say, so much to explain but Maura was still a here so she had time at least while she was holding Maura. Jane thought to herself. She took this as a good sign and continued. "I was probably always attracted to you, who wouldn't be? You're beautiful and kind and talented and kinda funny and loving, I could go on and on. I just denied it, until...until Korsak made me realise how I felt." She laughed a little remembering back, "He was about as subtle as a sledge hammer and then it all hit home. Suddenly I saw you in a different light. Suddenly you weren't just Maura my work colleague or Maura my best-friend. You were Maura who I had a huge crush on."

A slight blush crept around Jane's neck and cheeks. "And then the more I thought and acknowledged my feelings, the stronger they grew. The more I consciously had to act to just be Jane the best-friend, though it didn't seem to stop me acting like a fool at times. Before I could stop it, I just knew that I had fallen for you." Something held Jane back from saying the 'love' word. "I'm sorry it came out like this. But I can't hold back how I feel. I can't deny it and regret that I never told you the truth about my sexuality or...or my feelings." Jane paused running fingers through the blonde's hair.

Jane smiled while she continued to hold the blonde, "My love, romance is romance. Love is love. Feelings are feelings. There are no rules or guidelines. You like; love; have feelings for whomever your heart desires. I will not be stopped by fear. I will follow what my heart says; what I want; who I want...if everyone worried about fear no-one would ever achieve their dreams or even everyday tasks. I certainly wouldn't be working in this job knowing what my family goes through every day while I'm out there hunting murders. My life wouldn't exist." She pulled back to look into Maura's eyes, "Let's not be stopped by fear. Or stopped by fear of your feelings, or people's views or the unknown. Embrace it!" She reached to move some of the ME's hair out of her face, "And you'll have me right beside you, supporting you and ready to catch you if you need me. I care about you like crazy. Hell, I love you. If there is the slightest chance I can have a future with you as a loved-up couple we need to grab it, because that is rare. All the small details will work themselves out along the way." She kisses the blonde on the cheek before rising off the seat, "Just think...make sure you know what you want...I'm going to grab another beer."

Jane's heart broke a little at the sight of the blonde still crying when she came back into the room. Her eyes were red and puffy and she looked like she had been through hell. At that moment all she wanted to do was...she swallowed her nerves, moved forward and gently pressed her lips to the ME's; so gently they were barely touching. A part of her over the moon at the contact. The other side of her screaming at the fact that she was kissing the woman she loved for so long, that she was kissing Maura.

When oxygen became a necessity they broke apart and Maura rested her forehead against Jane's. She was smiling widely through the tears that still lurked in her eyes from earlier.

As always feel free to review good or bad I can take it. But also remember the morte good the more story.
