Mauras POV
It was several hours later, Jane and I were cuddled up on the couch watching a documentary on a serial killer, Jane was intent on picking up tips and I was practicing my study of Microexpression but really I was just looking at Jane wondering how I got so lucky. Now that we had talked I felt much better after I had first kissed Jane I was too scared to get attached but now I knew that Jane wouldn't leave me I let my self actually love her.
Jane looked up at me from the documentary, "Shouldn't you be studying 'mini-expressions' or what ever" I giggle at Janes appalling attempt at the scientific terms "Microexpressions and no not really I was watching you, your micro expressions were rather enjoyable"
Jane smiled and leaned up to kiss me, and then jabbed me in the ribs "poindexter" I mock a gasp ad go in to tickle her, I know all of her ticklish spots including just above the ribs which always made her squirm, we were tickling each other and laughing, this was the most relaxed I had felt in a long time, once we had finished we just lay on the floor for a bit.
Suddenly Jane stands up and grabbed my good arm to pull me up as I pull up I bring my propel my self forward and kiss her I could tell that it was a surprise and it took Jane a few seconds to kiss back, I open my mouth to grant her access and just as I was letting my tongue enter her mouth I hear someone clearing their throat.
Jane and I jump apart and look towards the source of noise, Angela was standing there with a pot of soup in her hands and her mouth wide open "Ma…" Jane groans "what are you doing here"
"well I was coming by to see how you were, seeing you banned me from Maura's hospital room' well that would explain why I didn't see Angela for a while, "but it seems like you two are getting along pretty well," I look down a my feet and then back up at Jane wondering what she was going to say about us "Ma…Me and Maura are in love" Angela shut her mouth abruptly and her eyes turned to steel "No daughter of mine is a stupid disgustng dyke" at that Angela ran out.
It took me a few seconds to realize what had happened when I turn around to Jane I see her standing there shellshocked but the second I make eye contact with her her eyes fill up with tears "ma chérie, don't cry I'm sure she doesn't mean it, she loves you, please bébé, I promise she will come around" I try to insert some french in there as I know that speaking french calms her down, but all of a sudden she crumples and I dart forward to grab her before she hits the ground, we sink to the ground slowly, as I cradle Jane "ma chérie, je t'aime" she finally starts to respond to my touch and soft whispers "why would she say that?" Jane manages through her sobs, "I don't know bébé, I think its just a lot to process so suddenly, she is a staunch catholic as well, this is not the belief she has been brought up with, but she will come around," I say as I maneuver us up and towards my room "but what if she doesn't?" Jane breaks the silence, "well we will cross that bridge when we come to it, but now we sleep.
When we made it to my room Jane was still leaning on me for support and was completely silent, I could tell she was trying to work out what to say. I lay down with Jane after taking my shoes and socks off. Jane fell asleep quickly, I don't think she has slept in a proper bed for a proper sleep in a long time, but I just lay there thinking. All of a sudden I decide to get up. I ease out of bed and silently go down stairs, I decide to go confront Angela, I slip out the back door and across the paving to the guest house I can see that she is home because the lights are on, I knock on the door "Angela, Angela open this door right now, or I will come in my house, Angela this is my house open the door right now" I yell without being too loud for Jane to wake up I continue to knock but Angela doesn't appear, luckily I had had the foresight to grab the key from inside, so I decided to let myself in, it is my house still.
I go through into the kitchen "Angela, Angela I know you are still awake, I just want to talk" I go into the lounge and I see Angela standing by the window she continues to ignore me as I walk in. "Angela, please" I startle her she mustn't have heard me enter, she spins around from where she is standing a look of disdain on her face, "its your fault, my daughter was a perfectly normal woman before you and now you have gone and turned her into a dyke" I close my eyes as the words impale me "Angela, I didn't change Janes sexuality, I just loved Jane for who she is and she loves me for who I am, I hope you can understand that because, I don't want Jane to hurt because you can't accept her,"
"but the bible and the church, they say its wrong,"
"Angela I don't know much about the church or the bible but I know this is from the bible Je vous donne un commandement nouveau; c'est que vous vous aimiez les uns les autres; que, comme je vous ai aimés, vous vous aimiez aussi les uns les autres. which is John 13:34 do you know what verse that is?" Angela smiled " "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
" I don't know alot about the Church but I do know that the most important thing that the Bible preaches is forgiveness, love, kindness and acceptance, so what is it Angela?" I so hope I have changed her mind. Angela took a deep breathe "So when am I getting grand babies"
"Maaaaaaaa" I hear a familiar groan from behind us, I spin around and see Jane standing there in all her glory, even though it has only been 15 minutes since I last saw her my heart fluttered with joy at seeing my detective again, I run over and pull her into a hug setting my head on her shoulder, Jane lightly kissed my head and we turned back to Angela. "Thank you Ma, I know its hard for you to do something against your faith but you don't know how much this means to me," I pull Jane even tighter, "Well don't you hurt her again ok Janie, she deserves to never be treated like that again,"
"well thats never going to happen again, I was miserable"
"as was I," I agree I feel a solitary tear on my cheek, Angela notices it and quickly comes round and grabs me out of Janes arms and into her own hug, "oi thats my amica your've got there" Angela laughed and I look at Jane "I didn't know you spoke italian Jane" Jane did her trademark Rizzoli smirk,"I do and pretty well but thats for another time soon but another time tesoro" I get a little concerned "what do you mean soon?"
"well if your my official girlfriend then you are coming to the Rizzoli family christmas eve party, thats when you can hear me speak Italian, so you coming?"
"I think I better come" I say faking reluctance "oh thank god, then they can't bug me about being to skinny or not having a man" Jane said excitedly " I laugh and give her a slight kiss on her nose, "come one lets head back inside and actually get some sleep, Angela are you still ok with picking up my Mother tomorrow?"
"of course, 10am right?" Angela is so good with these things, "yes that is correct" I say as Jane pulls us out out, "Night Angela" I say with a smile as we head out the door and inside to my house. "come on, I really want a nice bed to sleep in, I say jokingly as we head up stairs. "I will agree with you on that" and with that we went to bed for the first (well really second) time as a couple.
