Disclaimer: I don't own this
The night was quiet but the howling of wolves had just begun. Frankie kept calling Frosts cellphone and kept getting the voicemail, " hey it's me I was just wondering if you wanted to come to dinner tonight, ma asked me to bring someone and I wanted it to be you... give me a call when you get this...I love you."
The middle Rizzoli stared up at the stars and closed his eyes, it was hard trying to fight the feeling of loneliness.

POV
There was this intense feeling that was surging through me; I don't know how to explain it. It was like being dumped in a tub full of ice cold water, it was frightening yet exciting.
I check myself once more in the mirror making sure everything was perfect and in place.
Coming downstairs I noticed Bass sitting comfortably by his bowl I grabbed a couple of more strawberries just for him and petted him on his shell. "Now you make sure you drink enough water bass okay." His head poked out as if he could hear me, I gently place to kiss on his wrinkled head. I was so excited to go see Jane and her siblings I like to see how they act in their own settings.

POV
The kitchen was in total disarray pots and pans were flying everywhere, not literally but it seems like ma was slinging everything around. She shoved all of us into the dining room with food in our hands, "Set the table all of you, Jane you get the wine, Frankie get the good china, Tommy…TOMMY!"
Tommy was of course hiding from ma, he's been in the bathroom for over an hour now,when he showed up both Frankie and I were surprised to see him sober which meant that tonight may go smoothly. I chuckle to myself as I search the cabinets for ma's favorite wine.
Frankie was right beside me stacking the plates together, "Have you heard from Barry?"
"Nah, all I know is that by midnight I'll be the only hybrid in human form." I felt like draining the whole bottle in front of me.
"Well what about Maura." It never dawned on me that Frankie didn't know Maura was a supernatural.
"What about Maura?" That's good Jane play it cool.
"She told me Jane."
"If she told you she's half vampire then you should know the full moon phase doesn't affect her."
"Oh right…must have slipped my mind." Frankie goes back to stacking more plates; he seemed more stressed out than usual.
"What going on Frankie?" I could feel that something was bothering him, was it Maura?
"She won't attack you Frankie."
"I know that Jane, I talked to her earlier, she's nice…"
"Wait do you like her?!" I place down the wine bottle with my hands balled at my sides, Frankie quickly shakes his head.
"No, I mean yea as a friend, Jane calm down." He took me by the arm and drugged me outside.
"I'm sorry Frankie; my body is fighting against its natural instincts." I emphasized instinct by grabbing two handfuls of snow and submerged my face into my hands.
"Is this your first time not transforming?"
"Yes, it's killing me bro." I muffle out, the snow cooled my skin for only a minute but it did feel good.
"It also makes you act like a jealous boyfriend Jane, you sure the lieutenant can't let you off for the last day."
The snow dropped from my hands as I exhaled, "I'll ask him tomorrow, I thought I i could handle three days but I'm going to need a break, I got to transform Frankie."
"Maura told me about the only way a wolf hybrid can survive the full moon phase, they must mate-."
I growl lowly warning him not to even continue, he holds up his hands and chuckles.
"You seriously need to get laid."
"Shove it, I can't believe you two were talking about me and mating in the same sentence."
He shrugs, "Its natural Jane, Maura is very in tuned with her sexuality, the stories she told me made me blush all over, did you kn-."
I grab him by the head and put him in a headlock, "Frankie for the love of god."
"Jane…" 'Oh shit'
I look towards the road and notice the blonde staring at us with humorous eyes. Her dark red dress fit her body like a glove, she was amazing.
Frankie waved pathetically as she walked up the driveway. "Hi Maura."
The front door swung open.
'Double shit.'
"Jane! quit acting like a brute and let your brother go, I swear can I have one night without chaos." Ma threw her hands into the air as she welcomed Maura.
"Maura please excuse those two."
I quickly release Frankie while staring at the cold concrete; Maura's scent invaded my senses leaving me feeling calm. Her hand warmed mind as she gave them a gentle squeeze.
"Sit by me?" I wasn't sure if that was such a good idea but at that moment all I could think about was the soothing feeling of her hands.
"Sure."
Everything was set and comfortable, the food smelled heavenly. Angela looked around the table at all the glowing faces and smiled even Jo who was under her masters feet was content. The detective sat beside the ME the two constantly chatted about work and up coming cases.
Tommy was drooling over their new guest, he had never seen a woman like Maura, she was his type, meaning hot.
Maura hadn't ate much and was trying to not seem rude, she had thought of the last time she had blood, she could go months without indulging herself but lately her vampire side was getting the best of her.
Jane placed a scarred hand over hers, "Its ok, I'll eat yours when ma goes into the kitchen or something." She whispered, smirking with a glint in her eyes.
"Oh Jane, your so kind." The ME blushed, "I didn't want to come off as ill-mannered."
Jane waved one hand, "It's totally fine Maura, but you at least have to try one cannoli, that's when you know you've been accepted as one of us."
"Us?"
"Family." Is that what Jane wanted her to be, family? Maura couldn't help the blush that spread across her face
Jane winked, as soon as her mom went to answer the front door, the hybrid took the last bit of lasagna from her friend's plate and quickly polished it off.
Maura giggled as she watched her chase it down with a glass of wine.
"Their 'are' benefits of having you around I see."
"What's the matter doc, my pretty mug isn't enough for you?" They continued their friendly banter until Angelia returned with two more guests.
Vince and Barry waved at everyone. "We still got enough so grab a chair you two." Angela was even more excited, everyone was here, making her feel completed.
The older detective had given her flowers on the way in and Barry brought another bottle. He was already a little bit buzzed but it was all in good spirits.
"Hey you, how's your vacation going?" Jane questioned playfully.
"Don't you start, I'm supposed to be gone already but this guy blackmailed me." He pointed at Korsak who was already stuffing his face that looked around innocently.
"Well I'm glad you're here." Frankie mumbled under his breath, it was only meant for Frost but he could tell Jane had heard.
Jane looked between the two and shrugged, those two had become good buddies so it was only natural that he wanted someone who watched Transformers to talk to.
Frost sat at the end of the table letting Korsak be the barrier between him and Frankie which made Korsak feel awkward.
Angela motioned for Tommy to help bring out dessert which he eagerly nodded to and practically ran into the kitchen.
Frost and Jane waited patiently for the dessert, like dogs waiting for someone to throw them a bone they both stared at the kitchen doorway.
"Frost I'm warning you this time I get the big one."
"Your suppose to let the weaker wolf in the pack get first dibs."
"You're not the weakest."
"Some alpha you are."
"You wanna go right now?"
"Oh jeez." Vince covered his whole face in his palm. "Will you two ever grow up?"
Angela and Tommy returned to the table placing the pastries in the middle of the table, "I made extra just for the two of you."
The two wolf hybrids grinned and decided to play a fair game of rock paper scissors for first dibs.
"How about we let Maura, 'our new guest' get first dibs," Angela knew that the two would be at it all night if they had their way.
Maura smiled acceptingly and reached for the biggest cannoli, everyone's mouth dropped as she took her first bite.
"Mmm, this is delicious." She had decided long ago that the way to stop her coworkers from arguing over who gets what was to take the 'what' out of the equations.
"I like her." Angelia mouthed towards Vince who nodded in agreement.
Frost and Jane both pouted as the ME ate the rest of the cannoli, "That was cold Maura."
"That was awesome." Frankie and Tommy said in unison.
"Welcome to the family."
Everyone was full and content, the dinner went better than Angela thought it would. Vince helped her put away the dishes as everyone sat in the living room watching the Sox's game.
Tommy sat by Maura trying to interact with her, it was clear to the ME that the rebel just wanted to ask her out. She smiled apologetically, "Tommy your sweet but-"
"You're seeing Jane right?" He whispered worriedly.
"No but…I'm kind of already in a situation." She didn't want to lie, she couldn't but she knew Tommy wouldn't understand.
"Ok that's cool, but whenever you get out of that situation, call me." He winked. She nodded but in her head he didn't have a chance, his sister was the only one on her mind.
She tried to get the hang of the game as everyone would either shout at the team in red or boo the other team in black.
Jane also sat by her pointing out which team they all were rooting for, "Now im not telling you to be a Sox's fan but you don't want to be a Yankee's fan in this house."
She looked around at everyone and felt human, Jane and Frost were themselves, hybrid or not they were human over all.
Vince had been around a lot lately but it never dawned on the Rizzoli kids that he might actually like their mom. Angela never thought that another man would be attracted to her but when Vince started chatting with her more she felt alive again.
"This was the best dinner so far, I mean no fights, no one getting hurt, and Jane didn't try to kill Tommy." She chuckled with a plate to her chest.
"Knock on wood Ang," He warned. "You mind if I take some left overs?"
"No be my guest." Vince early wrapped up the left overs and stacked them on top of one another. "I'm gonna call it a night Ang, got to get up early."
"Oh," She whispered disappointedly, she shook it off and smiled. "It was nice seeing you again, we have to do this more often."
"We should…or just us two," He scratched the back of his head nervously.
"Detective are you trying to ask me out?"
"Yes." He waited a second for her response suddenly getting cold feet. "I'd love too."
A wave of relief soon washed over him, he smiled like a kid that just got candy for the first time.
The only thing that the older detective dreaded was where he would take her too, a woman of her status deserved the best.
"It's a date then."
Frost waited on his ride which was Korsak to leave, he had had enough of the look but don't touch boundary that he set for himself.
His control was slipping and he didn't need to be around Frankie anymore, his vacation was definitely needed.
The young Rizzoli looked so irresistible that he even growled at Maura every time she would touch him.
By that time he knew he had to call it a night, for everyone's safety. He hugged everyone, and waited outside.
The door opened and out came his partner, her eyes located his in the dark.
"Hey, hanging in there."
"No im losing my mind."
"Lucky for you, you have the whole three days." She lit up a cigarette and inhaled. "I'm gonna ask Cavanaugh to let me off early."
"That's the best thing." He sounded shocked, never had he heard Jane back down from a job, but knew how she felt.
There was no known hybrid that was affected by the full moon that fought against it and stayed human… not until Jane.
She wanted to protect her own and humans, this problem had been building up in Boston for a while now and she wanted to try and tame it.
She was finally beginning to understand that you can't control what was human or supernatural. When the body morphs you leave all the pain and drama behind you and just enjoy being in your own skin, she believed that's what humans envied about them.
A couple of wolves could be heard from the woods behind the Rizzoli home, their howls not going unheard by the two hybrids as they both longed for the night.
"I should go." She nodded towards her partner silently and watched him take off, there was no point in waiting for Vince. Frost was like a trapped animal around Frankie he needed to get away.
She watched her friend disappear into the night and knew instantly that something else was wrong with him.
The vampire hybrid stared at the bottle of blood that was hidden at the bottom of her fridge, it was only used in case of emergencies.
She rarely drank from it when she felt her body needed it. She was only three fourths but need for blood was the same as any full blooded vampire, she just knew how to tame that side of her better than any other vampire.
She closed the fridge with a sigh, a rush of cold air washed over her in relief.
"I got the wine doc," the detective held up the bottle gaining the ME's attention. She turned on her heel and approached the stool were two glasses were waiting to be filled.
Jane uncorked the bottle effortlessly and filled the glasses to the rim. "Something on your mind."
"No…it's just tonight was so wonderful Jane, you really have a great family."
"…Tommy hit on you." She took a healthy gulp and nodded.
"He does it all the time don't worry." Jane took off her boots and jacket, getting relaxed on the stool. Jo and Bass were getting acquainted with one another as Bass watched the terrier eat one of his strawberries.
"Shall we move to the living room?" Maura asked, already leading the way. Jane watched her swagger her way into the den and couldn't help but to follow.
They both got comfortable on the couch, Maura tucked her feet under her while Jane laid her whole body on the couch with her feet on the ME's lap.
Maura began to massage her socked feet. "I'm glad you enjoyed my family, your seriously apart of it now, my ma loves the hell out of you."
"You're not still upset with me about the cannoli right?" A small chuckle erupted from the detective.
"You're new so you get away with it." They both sat in silence and watched the fireplace, everything felt right, even their pets even fit together.
"So…has anyone challenged Ian yet?"
"A couple have asked, a lot of them are hybrids, they all didn't want me to be his wife just to gain their respects."
A beat went by, "Their brave."
"Chivalry is indeed alive, I find them reliable suitors, and they both are respectable leaders in their community."
"I can't believe we are in the year two-thousand and thirteen and this is happening."
"Well Jane you know the supernaturals live different lives from humans."
The hybrid snorted already regretting bringing up the topic. "Let's not talk about Ian."
"Yes he does seem to spoil a good moment." Maura sipped the last bit of wine as she gazed at the hybrid who was giving her the same look.
All Jane could think of doing was bending ME over the couch.
Jane sighed, "I shouldn't be here tonight."
"Why Jane?" On cue a loud howl from behind Maura's home startled both Jane and Joe who started growling.
"The full moon phase is getting nearer," she huffed already feeling the hot flashes coming on once again.
"And you don't want to be inappropriate around me?" Jane could only nod as she rushed back to the kitchen to retrieve her shoes and jacket.
The air was thick with tension as the ME followed her, daringly she placed a soothing hand on the hybrids back moved it slowly in circles.
A deep growl was the last thing she heard before she was pinned to the grown underneath the detective.
"I know you mean well..." Jane closed her eyes breathing in deeply as their bodies touched, everything about how the ME felt against her sent her body into overload.
Maura was truly turned on, she could smell both of their arousal as their lower half's touched.
Her eyes locked in on the brunette's neck as she slowly placed a kiss on the pulse. A low moan from above coaxed her to continue, she kissed her jawline and trailed slowly up to the lips that she only dreamed about kissing.
A silent plea was all she gave as the hybrid above caved. Mouths crashed together in a heated battle, Maura's tongue silently asked for entrance which Jane was so happy to oblige. They put everything into their kiss, everything they felt for one another, all the feelings Jane tried to push away came forth.
Maura could feel everything Jane was trying to show her, she truly loved the brunette and was scared to lose her; the feeling was so strong she felt it would tear them apart.
Maura came up for air as Jane continued place kisses down her neck, both were slowly grinding against one another lost in their on awakening
She felt the need to feed as she kissed hungrily at the neck above her. A sharp pain shook her out of her state of mind and back into reality. Jane back away as if she was just shot with a drop of blood on her lips.
"I'm so sorry Maura." She had feared this would happen, she didn't bite her lovers often because they were human, but when it came to Maura she felt that she could let go, she never wanted to hurt her.
"Jane it's ok." She grabbed her shoulder and noticed that the bite wound was slowly healing.
"Your not like me Maura, I can't hurt you I can't." Jane scurried away from her and ran to the front door slamming it shut behind her.
Joe came up to the shocked ME and whimpered, she stroked the terrier gently and smiled sadly.
"Guess your spending the night."
