So I am picking and choosing what sections of the show I want to utilise for this story so whilst it started out in season 3, this chapter alludes to season 5. There may be a slight spoiler for those who are not up to date with season 5, so consider yourself warned :)


Maura awoke the next morning feeling happier than she ever had before. She was in the arms of her best friend, now lover. Jane had an arm and a leg protectively draped across the doctor. Maura already knew what time it would be, her body clock was precise to the minute, but she decided to glance at the clock anyway. 7:00am. She really needed to be getting up to get herself ready for work. Jane too, for that matter, needed to be getting ready for work. Usually the M.E. would immediately get herself out of bed and prepared for the day. Today, however, was a different story. She wanted, no needed, to take a moment to enjoy being in her wonderful detective's loving embrace. She looked intently at the beautiful brunette and realised again just how gorgeous she really is. From her taned and toned legs to her muscled abs which were now exposed thanks to her tank riding up throughout the night. Before Maura's brain could catch up, her hands were gently running lines across her lovers taut stomach, tracing along the muscles as they twiched slightly under her soft touch. She then moved her hand to push the detective's dark curls out of her face before lovingly cupping her cheeks as she placed a gentle kiss on Jane's lips. Maura knew at that moment that she would never tire of Jane's taste.

"Mmm. Good morning Maur." Jane rasped, her sleepily deep voice sending shivers right through Maura's body, settling with a wetness between her thighs. "I would die a happy woman if I woke up every morning to you lips on mine." Jane swiftly pulled Maura in closely before reclaiming her lips.

Maura reluctantly pulled away as she remembered the reason she needed to wake Jane in the first place. "Jane, as much as I would love to continue this right now, we really need to get ready for work." Maura placed one last gentle kiss on her lover's lips before starting to remove herself from the bed.

Jane groaned loudly before her strong arms encased Maura's hips and pulled her back to the bed. "Let's not go to work today Maur. Let's stay in bed all day." the detective teased, wiggling her eyebrows seductively.

"Jane you know we can't do that. Otherwise we would never get out of bed." Maura stating as she jokingly swatted Jane's hands away from her body.

"Brilliant idea!" Jane exclamed, pointing her index finger towards the roof.

"Jane..."

"Ok, Ok. I am getting up. On one condition."

"What is your one condition Jane?" Maura queried as she made her way off the bed and towards the bathroom.

Jane jumped off the bed and ran to her girlfriend, wrapping her arms around her waist before leaning in to whisper in her ear. "That I get to join you in the shower." she stated seductively. "You know, to save water and time and what not." She quickly added.

"Mmm showering together should generally save water, but I don't think that would be true in this instance." Maura shivered as Jane placed sucked on that one sweet spot on her neck that always reduced her to a stuttering mess. "But...I...ah...I guess we...we should shower together today."

"Dr Maura Isles, did you just say you guess? Oh I love this sweet spot. Right. Here." Jane accentuated each word with an opened mouthed kiss to her neck.

Maura replied by grasping Jane's hand and pulling her roughly into the bathroom. "Mmm and I like it when you get rough." Jane teased as she followed the doctor into the shower.


"Oh my god. Jane! It is 8:00 o'clock! We are going to be late for work. We need to hurry now!" Maura called out to Jane as she selected her clothes from the wardrobe.

Jane suddenly appeared behind the M.E. and reassuringly rubbed her shoulder. "Don't stress Maur. You are the Chief Medical Examiner of Massachusetts after all. You can show up whenever you decide it appropriate to show up!" Jane stated with a wink.

"I suppose you are right. But please don't distract me anymore. I really need to focus on getting myself ready and you being anywhere in my immediate vicinity is distracting." Maura replied as she turned to give Jane a kiss on the cheek.

"Ok, ok. I will go and make you a coffee. I'll meet you downstairs sexy." Jane squeezed the M.E's ass before making her way out to the kitchen.


Maura managed to get herself ready in record time without Jane around to distract her and the women arrived at the BPD at 9:00 am on the dot. Jane exited the drivers side of the car and raced around to open the passenger door for Maura.

"Me lady" Jane smiled as she extended a hand for Maura to grasp.

Maura quickly took the hand offered with a grin so wide it almost hurt before exiting the car and heading towards to doors of the BPD. Instinctively, she tried to retract her hand from Jane's only to find the detective's grip unrelenting.

"I told you I was going to shout it from the BPD roof but you thought that would be too dangerous. So this is the next best thing. If that's ok with you?" Jane suddenly felt anxious that perhaps Maura didn't want to be seen with her. After all, she did try to pull away from her. Her thoughts were silenced by Maura placing a chaste kiss on her cheek. "It is more than ok. I just pulled away out of habit I guess."

"Not anymore Maur. You are too good to hide." Jane added before opening the doors and walking through them hand in hand with the beautiful M.E.

Everyone around them stopped and stared momentarilly before clapping and wolf whistling ensued. Maura turned to Jane, afraid that she would now regret her decision. She was pleasently suprised to see Jane smiling from ear to ear and even more shocked when a giggle erupted form the Detective.

"Ok boys. Nothing to see here." Korsack interjected as he walked over to the women, leaning in to whisper in Jane's ear. "About time Rizzoli. I'm really happy for you, the Doc is good for you."

"Thanks Korsack, it means a lot. Really." Jane smiled sweetly at Korsack before realizing her bad-ass reputation was at stake.

"Let's all do some actual police work hey!" Jane yelled over her shoulder as she gently guided Maura towards to elevator and pressing the down button.


Jane did not let go of the doctor's hand until she reached her desk at the morgue. Even then, Maura had to practically pry her hand from the detective's firm grasp. Jane grabbed Maura's ass before pulling her in for a bruising kiss. Unbeknownst to the M.E., Jane placed a small note in Maura's back pocket of her slacks as she kissed her, but Jane was sure the ever vigilant Dr Isles would soon find the hidden paper.

Jane reluctantly pulled herself away from her girlfriend. "I should try to get some work done. Although it is going to be hard when all I can think of is your lips. But I will try anyway!" Jane teased as she began to exit the morgue office. She stopped herself before turning back to face the M.E.

"I love you Maur. See you for lunch?"

"I love you too Jane. Yes, lunch sounds lovely. I look forward to it immensely." Maura replied as she watched Jane leave. Whilst she hated the fact that Jane had to leave, she did love to watch her go. Jane had a swagger that simply left the M.E. breathless.

As Maura sat down, she felt something rigid in her pant pocket. Quickly standing up, she retreaved a piece of paper. She almost threw it away before noticing Jane's handwriting. She quickly opened up the paper and could not help but smile at its contents:

Maura my love,

Just a little note to remind you that I love you more than life itself. I am still in disbelief that this is happening, but you make me the happiest woman alive Maur. I want you to feel the same way and will do everything in my power to make you happy every day of our lives if you let me.

Love, your Jane.

Maura gently folded the paper and placed it into her handbag before pulling out her phone.

M:Thank you for your sweet note Jane. If waking up beside you or our fun in the shower didn't make my day, your note certainly did. I can't wait to see you at lunch. M. XO

J: I meant every word of it Maur. But I do have a bad-ass reputation to uphold, so if you tell anyone I am passing you notes during class, I will have to punish you ;). See you at lunch beautiful. J. XX

Maura giggled to herself before placing her phone back into her handbag so as not to allow herself to be distracted as she threw herself into her work.


At 1pm on the dot Maura heard the ding of the elevator and watched as Jane swaggered out and leant against the door to Maura's office. "I believe I owe one sexy Medical Examiner a nice lunch out." Jane said raising her eyebrows suggestively. "Have you seen the sexy Medical Examiner anywhere?"

"Haha Jane. Very funny." Maura smiled as she got up from her office chair and made her way over to the detective. She wrapped her arms around Jane, pulling her body flush against her own before tangling her fingers in the detective's curls and pulling her in for a bruising kiss. "Remember me now?" Maura asked cheekily.

"Mmm yes, my memory is slowly returning. Though, in order to confirm your true identity I think I may need to repeat our previous study." Jane replied before pulling the M.E. back in for another passionate kiss. "Ok, identity confirmed. Shall we head to lunch now?" Jane asked holding her hand out to Maura.

"Yes, let's. Are we going to the Robber? You should really have a kale salad Jane, their burgers will do no good for your cholesterol and high cholesterol can lead to atherosclerosis which can be very dangerous."

Jane groaned loudly. She hated kale but she loved Maura. And she had promised her to do everything in her power to make her happy every day. If eating a little bit of green stuff made Maura happy then green stuff she would eat. "Ok Maur. Kale salad it is."

Jane couldn't help but giggle at Maura's reaction. Her mouth was agape, a complete look of shock plastered across her face.

"Doc, have I made you speechless again? That is a real talent of mine. Do you think I should add it to my resume?" Jane teased as she snaked her arm around the M.E's waist and pulled them towards the elevator.

"I just don't understand why that was so easy!" Maura replied as they entered the elevator.

Jane turned to face Maura, holding both her hands in her own. "Maur, I promised to make you happy everyday and that is exactly what I am going to do. Besides, I want to still be with you when I am old and grey. I may need to eat some green stuff every so often if I want to live as long as you!" Jane said truthfully as she looked anywhere but Maura's eyes. She still found herself unable to look at her beautiful girlfriend when she was pouring her heart out.

"Oh Jane." Maura said as tears began to cascade down her face. "I want to spend my life with you too sweetheart. I love you so much."

"Maur, are you crying? I didn't want to make you cry babe." Jane was flustered as she wiped away the doctor's tears with her thumb. Maura soothed the detective by placing a chaste kiss on her lips, pulling away only when the elevator doors opened.

Jane reached for Maura's hand before they made their way out of the BPD. Neither woman noticed the officers staring or the smiles that were spread across most of their faces and they certainly did not notice Angela watching the exchange from behind the window of the cafe, grinning from ear to ear. No, they failed to notice anything other than each other.


At 6pm Jane heard the elevator ding followed by the familiar click on heels and turned just in time to watch Maura waltz into the room. Jane realized then and there that she would never tire of watching her stunning girlfriend. She smiled widely as Maura's gaze met her own. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath as the M.E. came close enough for her scent to encase the detective. Another sensation Jane would never tire of - Maura's delightful smell. It was sweet her seductive, it was completely unique to Maura.

"Hello detectives." Maura addressed Jane, Korsack and Frankie.

"Hey Doc." Korsack and Frankie said in unison, repressing their giggles as they watched a speechless Jane simply staring at the M.E.

"Earth to Janie!" Frankie practically yelled.

"Uh hi Maur. Are you finished for the day?" She asked as she was finally able to breathe again.

"Yes, I had a light day today and I am caught up on all my paperwork so I am going to head home. Are you almost ready to go?"

"Sorry Maur, I have a lot of paperwork to finish up before I can head home." Jane groaned but was quickly relaxed by Maura's hands lazilly rubbing her back. "You take the car Maur, I'll catch a lift home with Frankie."

Maura, now sitting on Jane's desk, leant in closer to the detective to ensure none of the other detectives in the room could hear their conversation. "Will you come back to my house when you are done?"

"I have a lot of paperwork to do sweetie. I think I will probably have a late night and I wouldn't want to keep you up. Maybe I should just go straight to my apartment tonight." Jane said glumly. The last thing she wanted was to go to her crappy little apartment.

"You won't keep me up. In fact, being there without you will be the only thing keeping me up." Maura promised before leaning in to kiss Jane's cheeck. "Text me when you are on your way home."

"Ok Maur. See you later." Jane couldn't help but watch Maura as she exited the bullpen. Once the M.E. was completely out of sight, she returned to her paperwork, now more determined then ever to finalise it all as fast as humanly possible.


It was almost 9pm before Maura received a text from Jane stating she was on her way. Maura quickly raced around the house to prepare for the detective's arrival. She knew Jane woud be exhausted after a long day and wanted to pamper her.

The M.E. was just collecting a beer from the fridge when she heard a key turn in the lock of the front door. She hurried over to the door to greet her girlfriend.

Jane had not even made it through the door before Maura's hands were around her and her lips on hers. Jane deepened the kiss as she snaked her own hands into the doctor's blonde tresses. "I could get used to coming home to that every day." She smiled before turning to close and lock the door.

Maura placed her hand in Jane's and instructed for her to follow. Jane was led to the bathroom where a candlelit bath was awaiting her. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes. Never before had someone looked after her the way that Maura did. Maura made her feel like the only woman in the world and Jane had to admit she loved the feeling. She reveled in all the feelings her wonderful doctor made her feel. She once hid from her feelings, but she swore to herself to never allow herself to hide from the feelings Maura gave her.

Jane was so wrapped up in her own thoughts that she did not even notice Maura had left the room until she returned. In her hand was a beer and a plate of what she assumed was dinner.

"Hop in the bath sweetie." Maura lovingly instructed.

Jane quickly complied, undressing and lowering herself into the warm bath. She moaned in gratitude as the warmth encased her tired body. She watched as Maura placed beer and the plate onto a bath caddy on popped it in front of Jane.

"I thought after a long day at work you deserved some pampering." Maura stated as she smiled sweetly at Jane.

"Thank you so much babe. Seriously, this is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. I love you so much." Jane allowed her tears to flow as she allowed Maura to see a rare glimpse of her vulnerability.

Maura quickly sat down on the floor beside the bath and kissed Jane's tears. "You deserve it sweetheart."

That statement caused further tears to stream. Maura understood what those tears meant. She understood Jane. "You do deserve it Jane. You are the kindest, most loving and selfless person I have ever met. You, Jane Rizzoli are incredible and I am going to make you believe that one day." Maura said as she leant in to claim Jane's lips.

The brunette simply smiled at Maura and thanked her once more before howing into the dinner Maura had lovingly prepared.

"Maur, that was absolutely delicious. You are incredible. I do not know what I did to deserve to have you in my life, but I am so very grateful. I love you so much."

"I love you too Jane. Every day you make my life better. Now, let's get you out of that bath before you turn into a plum."

"It's prune Maur. Before you turn into a prune. You're so cute." Jane giggled as she traced her thumb along Maura's chin before getting herself out of the tub. Looking over at Maura she noticed her eyes darkened with desire as she stared at the detectives glorious naked frame. "What?" Jane asked as she looked down at herself. "Have I turned into a plum?" She teased, interupting the M.E.'s dirty thoughts.

"No. You are perfect." she answered as she inched closer to the detective before grasping her ass and pulling the detective into her own body.

Jane made a gutteral sound that only served to heighten Maura's already painful arousal. The doctor wanted Jane and she wanted her now. Now was not the time for slow. Now was the time for hard and fast. Maura hungrilly nipped and sucked at Jane's neck as she rolled the detective's left nipple between her thumb and index finger. She moved her mouth to Jane's right nipple and, looking up into the detective's eyes, bit down sharply before soothing the teased nipple with her tongue.

The brunette screamed out in pleasure and jerked her hips into Maura, loving the sensation of cloth against her naked mound. Maura continued her assualt on Jane's breasts for a minute longer before trailing one hand down the detective's torso down to her warm and welcoming folds. "Mmm, you are already so wet, and not from the bath." Maura rasped as she teased Jane's folds.

"Please Maur." Jane begged as she thrusted her hips trying desperately to feel pressure where she really needed it.

Maura responded by placing her thumb on Jane's throbbing clit, rubbing it roughly. "Please what, Jane? Tell me what you want." Maura whispered in her ear.

"Inside... Please Maur. I need you inside me." Jane pleaded.

Without any hesitation, Maura thrust two fingers deep into Jane and began fucking her hard and fast with her nimble digits.

"Fuck!" Jane exclaimed as Maura tilted her fingers, finding the detective's g-spot with ease. Maura continued her assualt as she reclaimed one of the detectives breasts in her mouth. Biting and licking. Pulling and pushing. Thursting and rubbing. All the sensations were causing the brunette to quickly reach the edge she so desperately longed to plunge off of.

"God you are so sexy when you are so close. I want to spend hours pushing you to the edge and pulling you back again." Maura hissed in Jane's ear. "But I think right now, I am going to let you come. Is that what you want?" Maura asked as she began thrusting harder and faster.

"God yes! Please Maur. I need to come over your fingers. Please!" Jane begged. She hated begging but when Maura had her teatering on the edge of an intense orgasm, she didn't care if she needed to beg, pride be damned.

Maura responded by kneeling in front of the detective as her fingers continued to thrust in and out of Jane's wet pussy. She looked up at Jane seductively before sucking the detective's protruding clit into her mouth sucking roughly. She could sense the detective was oh so close. She could feel her walls starting to throb around her fingers. And as Maura bit down gently on the brunette's clit, Jane came hard, screaming the doctor's name so loud she was worried the neighbours might call the cops. But neither woman cared as Maura slowed her fingers, riding Jane through her orgasm.

Maura's fingers were removed as Jane slumped to the floor beside the M.E., spent from her intense orgasm. Jane wanted to hold Maura, but the doctor had other plans. She lent down and began licking up all of the detective's juices.

Jane tried to push her head away gently. "I'm too sensitive Maur." She stated meekly.

Maura held the brunette's hands away from her head. "Trust me Jane."

And Jane did trust her, with her life. So she let Maura continue her ministrations. She quickly found pleasure building again in the pit of her stomach. Looking down at the doctor licking and sucking, she began to involuntarilly thrust her hips into Maura's mouth. The M.E. then thrust her tongue as deep as possible into Jane's core before pulling out and licking up her slit to her clit. She continued this process until Jane was once again screaming her name, this time even louder than the last. Jane's world went black as her juices gushed out onto Maura's welcoming tongue.

When Jane awoke a few minutes later, Maura had moved her onto the bed and was lying at her side.

"Did I pass out?" Jane asked softly, not trusting her voice after their intense bathroom escepades.

"Just for a few moments. It's a common side effect of female ejaculation." Maura responded matter-of-factly.

"God Maur, it sounds so wrong when you say it so clinically." Jane teased as she wrapped her arms around the M.E. "That was incredible. You are incredible. I'll return the favour as soon as my limbs start working again."

Maura giggled before turning into Jane's embrace. "No need Jane. Tonight was about you. Besides, I couldn't help but look after myself after seeing you like that."

Jane was instantly aroused again at the mental picture that was now forming in her head. "Mmmm Maur, please will you let me watch next time?" She asked sheepishly, suddenly worried that would be offputting for her girlfriend.

"So long as I can watch you too." She replied before kissing Jane deeply. "For now though I think we both need sleep. Goodnight Jane."

"Goodnight Maur."

Both women, completely spent from their activities, quickly fell into a deep slumber entangled in each other's arms.


Maura awoke late the next morning still in her detective's protective arms. Maura sweetly kissed the top of Jane's head as she began to stir.

"Morning Maur." She whispered before bringing her lips to the M.E's.

"Good morning Jane. Did you sleep well?" The M.E. asked as she started to brush Jane's dark curls from her face.

"Best I have slept in a long time." Jane replied as she pulled Maura's body flush against her own. "All thanks to you."

"I am in desperate need of a shower. Care to join me?" Maura asked as she made her way to the bathroom. She did not need to wait to hear the brunette's response as she already knew the answer.

"Is that even a question?" Jane asked to the empty room as she ran to towards the bathroom.


As it was a Saturday, the women spent longer in the shower than they would have on a work day. By the time they made it to the kitchen and sat down to eat, it was past 11am. Not that either of them minded.

Jane looked over in complete admiration as she watched Maura sip at her coffee. She wondered how such a simple act could cause butterflies in her stomach, but she had come to expect that now with her girlfriend. Her beauty knew no bounds. Maura's every action was a thing of beauty in the eyes of the detective. Never had she loved someone so deeply, so intensely. As she watched the M.E., she could see her brain working overtime.

"What's on your mind Maur?" Jane asked quietly trying not to startle the other woman who was clearly deep in thought.

Maura jumped slightly regardless of Jane's attempts. "Nothing that needs to be discussed right now." Maura stated, knowing technically it was not a lie, so for the time being her hives shouldn;t make an appearance.

"Maur, I have known you long enough to know that was a deflection. Please talk to me. You know you can tell me anything right? I promise you I will always be here. I am never leaving you, know matter what is going on in that big beautiful head of yours." Jane said as she gently placed her hand over the doctor's.

"Do you want children Jane?" Maura blurted out the question before her brain had a chance to catch up to her mouth.

"Ah... Honestly... I think I do. With you. I've never really pictured myself as a mother and when I was pregnant with Casey's baby, I wasn't sure that I really wanted to go through with it. Then when I lost it I honestly didn't know how I was supposed to feel. I felt both sad and relieved all at once. Does that make me a horrible person?" Jane asked as she lowered her head. She had never opened up about her miscarriage but now seemed like the perfect oppurtunity to ask the question she had been asking herself for months now.

Maura was immediately at Jane's side, her arm wrapped around the detective. "Absolutely not Jane. You experienced a trauma and you had not planned for a baby. That does not make you a horrible person. I'm so sorry I brought up the subject, I really didn't think before I spoke. Please forgive me." Maura replied sadly.

"No Maur, it's fine really. I want to be open and honest with you about everything. This is one thing I've never opened up to anyone about. I was so afraid that people would think I was a monster for feeling the way I feel and so I just bottled it up. It's actually a relief to be able to talk to you about it. And as I said, I want to have kids with you Maur. I would love nothing more." Jane turned so that she was facing Maura before she continued. "I've thought about it a lot lately actually. Do you want to hear my ultimate dream for our family?"

"I would love nothing more!" Maura beamed, her smile so wide and warm Jane thought she could drown in it forever.

"I would love to have at least two kids. That way you can carry one and I can carry the other. Ideally one boy and one girl but I know we can't choose the sexes of our children. So long as they are happy and healthy, I will be happy."

A happy tear made it's way down Maura's cheek as she listened to Jane's dreams for their future. It was obvious to her that the detective had given a lot of thought to their family which in turn meant that she had given a lot of thought to their future together. This was a new sensation for Maura, her parents not caring enough to be around and no one else of consequence ever making their way into her life. Finally, she was able to speak. "Jane that is so beautiful. That sounds absolutely perfect. Thank you so much."

"For what Maur?" Jane asked, genuinly confused.

"For loving me enought to think about our future. For picturing a family with me. My own family never gave me a second thought and so to be honest I have been petrified of becoming a mother myself. What if I neglect them like my mother did to me? What if I cannot understand their social quirks?" Maura asked Jane, a pained expression forming on her face.

"Maura Isles. Listen to me carefully please. You will be a fantastic mother. I know that for a certainty. There is not one person on this earth that I would consider to be a better mother for my children then you. It's true your mother neglected you, but look at the way you have treated not only me, but my family. You have basically adopted us all. You said it yourself that we are your nutballs. And we wouldn't have it any other way because in you we have someone who loves us unconditionally. Someone who is always there to help us when we are down. Someone who makes us have confidence in ourselves. Those qualities are the most vital for a mom. And then think about TJ. You are fantastic with him. Tommy feels comfortable leaving him alone with you and you absolutely love the time you spend with him. You are gentle and kind. Loving and soft. You are the epitamy of what a good mother is. You are going to be marvelous." Jane assured Maura.

In that moment, Maura smiled genuinly knowing that it was going to be okay. No matter what happened in their lives, she would be okay because she trusted that she would always have Jane by her side and she knew that together they could conquer the world.


To be continued...
