As C. J. stepped off the elevator on the floor the morgue was on, she again tried to decide if this was a good idea. Personally she didn't care for people who tried to set up other people, whether on dates or otherwise. She wasn't the romantic kind, at least not anymore and she didn't particularly find the idea of meddling alluring. But for some reason she was drawn to the idea of helping Jane and Maura realize that they had feelings for each other and that they would be happy together. She didn't know them anywhere near long enough to tell how long they'd liked each other, but from the looks she'd seen them throw each other's way the few times she'd been in the same room as both of them, she got the feeling that it was a long time.

Knocking on the door to the morgue, she slowly opened the door after being waved in by Maura.

"Detective, what a surprise! What brings you down here?" asked Maura with a smile

"Just looking for some company I guess. The other detectives have gone out to canvas the neighborhood where Peter was found and to see if they can find anything" replied C. J. with a shrug

"Oh they have? I would have deduced that you would have gone with them" stated Maura with a confused expression on her face

"Yeah, I figured that it would be wiser if I stayed here, wouldn't want her to see me, she might run. She knows I'm a cop."

"Well, based on the attire of the other detectives and the inevitability of them asking around about her, it would be highly accurate to deduce that she will know that they are police officers if she sees them" replied Maura calmly

"You're right but she won't worry about them as she'll probably figure that she can fool them with some form of disguise but she knows she wouldn't be able to fool me"

"And why would that be detective?" inquired Maura

"I've known her since I was 15 years old; I've seen all that she has to offer." answered C. J. with a blank look on her face.

"Hmmm. Well I'm about to do an autopsy on a drug addict, you're free to observe if you feel the desire" stated Maura with a smile

"Thanks that could be just what I need to occupy my time. You wouldn't mind if I asked you questions during the procedure, would you?" asked C. J. with a secretive smile on her face

"Oh no, of course not, ask away" replied Maura with a smile

An hour later and half way through the autopsy that C. J. was surprisingly enjoying, she decided that it was best to get her line of questioning through before she decided to leave things as they were.

"So Dr. Isles –" she began

"Please, call me Maura. You're a part of the team now, at least for a while"

"Thank you Dr. Isl—I mean Maura"

"Anytime. Now what were you going to say?"

"I was actually gonna ask about you and Detective Rizzoli"

"What about us?" asked Maura with a puzzled expression on her face.

"You guys are friends right?"

"Well yes. Best friends actually"

"Really?" asked C. J. with a slightly shocked expression

"Why does that seem surprising to you?" inquired Maura with a confused expression

"My first thought when you said 'best friends' was that you guys don't seem compatible as best friends but after thinking about it, it does make sense. You balance each other out. You guys are opposites and as such may just be perfect together." answered C. J. with a small smile on her face. She knew that Maura thought that she was merely talking about friendship when in reality she was talking about so much more.

"You are correct in your assessment. You are very perceptive, I don't think many would come to that conclusion after only a few days of knowing Jane and I"

"What do you think of her?"

"Are you speaking of Jane?"

"Yes"

"Well I think she's wonderful. She's brave, loyal, amusing and confident. Her personality is enticing and she makes life enjoyable. She is very intelligent and a lot more of an intellectual than one would think. She never ceases to amaze or surprise me" replied Maura wistfully and lovingly with a soft smile on her face

"You love her don't you?"

"Of course I do! She's my best friend"

"That's not what I meant Doctor. I think you and I both know that you have been thinking about Jane in a way that is way beyond friendship for some time now"

"I—"

Just as Maura was about to reply C. J.'s phone began ringing

"Malti"

"We think we've got something, where are you? We're in the bullpen"

"I'm in the morgue, I'm on my way"

While ending the call, C. J. turned to face Maura once again."They think they may have something, so I'm heading upstairs. It was nice talking to you Maura, have a nice day"

Turning to leave before Maura could reply, C. J. walked through the morgue's doors with a smug smile on her face. The Doctor may not know it but the look on her face as she spoke about Jane along with the expression that she wore while trying to come up with a suitable retort to her last statement told C. J. all that she needed to know about Maura's feelings towards Jane. She was head over heels in love with her.
