Chapter 9:

Meeting Mr Isles :

The next morning Jane woke up first around 9.30 am, flipped on her left side, her entire body wrapped around Maura. Knowing her father was flying to down in a few hours Jane knew that they wouldn't be able to stay in bed all morning so she started to gently wander her fingers on Maura's right arm tickling it softly with her finger tips while kissing the back off her neck.

"What time is it?"Maura mumbled letting a light groan out as she flipped on her back.

"Half past nine. I wish we could stay in bed longer but I'm picking up your dad at noon remember?"Jane replied whipping a strain away from her face.

"I remember."

"How did you sleep?"

"Very well for the second night in a row, thanks to you. I always sleep so well when we share a bed and last night being in your arms…that was something I had dreamed off for so long but I never thought it would actually ever happened. So I'm asking myself if I'm still sleeping …"Maura shyly admitted unable to realize that Jane and her were dating now after all those years of denial.

"No sweetie, this is reality. Let me show you." Smiling at Maura's need for a reality check Jane gently pressed her lips on Maura's mouth brushing it slowly.

"Oh Jane…We should really get up now or we never will."Maura replied breaking up the kiss. Feeling Jane's tongue tangling with her and her fingers on her belly was more than she could handle but they had other plans for today, her desires would have to wait.

"I know and I think we should talk about internal affairs Maura. Frost sent me a text a few minutes ago and they interviewed Dean after I visited him yesterday, they are probably going to question us today."Dropping that bomb on Maura Jane knew that they had to come up with a plan that would not be too far from the truth and knew she had to protect her no matter what would happen.

"Oh Jane, what are we going to tell them?"Maura asked in horror.

"About the shooting?The truth, but if they ask and they're going to why Doyle was there we're gonna have to say that we don't know. I know that you don't wanna lie but if they learn that you're his daughter they're probably going to re open all your cases that had any mob connection accusing you of helping him or his guys to get away with murder you know."

"That's ridiculous!First I never had any murder victim that was linked to him until Colin well except for that last time and we were able to prove he didn't do it . Second I'm not corruptible, my reputation and record speak for itself Jane."Maura replied shocked that someone could accuse her of being corrupted.

"I know that but unfortunately but there is still this murder that was linked to him at first and even if you didn't perform the autopsy they could still accuse you of manipulating the evidence to your advantage."

"I know, but people saw me visiting him at the hospital. How can I justify that?"

"Well you can say that he saved your life and that you were just concerned. I know you, if a stranger had saved your life and was sent to the hospital as a result you would spend your days and night at his bedside."

"True…Alright but I don't feel comfortable having you Detectives Frost and Korsak lie for me."

"We do what we have to do to protect you. You're family Maura and we take care of our own."Jane replied gently blowing a tender kiss on her forehead.

"I know. How about you go take a shower and get dressed while I prepare you some coffee for your drive to the airport?"Gently caressing Jane's cheek Maura's cheek with her thumb Maura was grateful that her friends and Jane were willing to lie for her and willing to do what ever it took to protect her but was not wiling to take the fall for who her father was. She would stick to the story Jane and her agreed her but if Internal Affairs were to dig a little deeper she would tell the truth.

"Thank you. I love you, I hope you know that."

"I know. I love you too. Now go. My father isn't the kind of man who like to wait."Maura replied almost pushing her out off bed.

"I know. The drive should give me the time I need to think about what I'm going to tell him and how I'm going to tell him about us."Jane knew that unlike Constance Mr Isles would be hard to seduce and convince that she was good enough for his daughter but was willing to play it nice and sincere.

"Just be honest with him and you'll be fine. A protective as he is he can not not see how much you love me and how happy you make me, alright?"Despite keeping a straight face Jane was obviously nervous and Maura was amused to see her loose her legendary confidence and knew that watching her try to impress her father was going to be fun.

"Alright, alright."Trying to keep her confident attitude Jane was petrified. She knew the influence Mr Isles had on his daughter and despite knowing he would never be able to break them apart if he wanted to she knew that making friends with him and making sure they were getting along was important.

Two and half hours later Jane was riding back from the airport with Maura's dad on the passenger seat. After struggling to find the perfect speech that would be sincere and convincing enough on the way to the airport Jane decided to follow her heart knowing that it was the best way to do this.

"So Jane, I wanted to thank you for taking care of my daughter and my wife while I was away. I know Constance appreciates your mother's company and yours as well."Sitting straight in the passenger's seat Mr Isles was eager to find out if everything Maura and Constance had told her was true.

"It's the least I could do Sir. Maura is like family to me, to all of us actually and we take care of our own. As of my mother for some reason your wife and her became really good friends since the first time they met a few months ago."Jane replied her eyes straight on the road.

"Yes. From what I understood they grew pretty close. How about you and my daughter?How close are you exactly?"Going straight to the point Mr Isles knew there was something going on between Jane and his daughter from the way Constance talked about them and was determined to find out what was the exact nature of their relationship.

"Well…Maura and I have been best friends for about 5 years now and we work together but to be honest with you Sir our relationship recently crossed the line of a simple friendship."Clearing her throat choosing her words carefully Jane was trying to be as clear and respectful as possible knowing that imposing this relationship to him would be a bad idea.

"Is that right Detective?"Finally finding out why Constance was so excited about him meeting Jane and also so mysterious Mr Isles was determined to try to destabilize her as much as possible. Maura was his only daughter and he needed to make sure she was good enough for her.

"Yes. To be honest with you we have had those feelings for a long time but we were both scared of even acknowledging them for reasons that you can I'm sure appreciate but after what happened we just…We just realized that life was too short to waste another minute because of our fears or insecurities so we took a leap of faith."

"I'm sure that witnessing her mother getting run over and being almost shot by a murdered and watch her biological father sacrifice himself for her must have been overwhelming for Maura and it's usually when those kind of terrible events happen that we start looking back at our lives and realize the mistakes we have made."

"Exactly, but don't worry though I did not take advantage of your daughter's distress. I love her, I truly do and for some reason I can not explain she loves me back Sir. I know you probably expected her to marry some rich wall street mogul but I'm going to prove to you that I'm the right person for her."Putting her foot firmly on the ground Jane was determined to prove herself. She might not be the perfect candidate on paper but she loved Maura and knew she was the one for her.

"The only thing I ever wanted for my daughter was to meet someone who would love her, protect her, respect her and treat her like the princess that she is. Money means nothing to me Detective. I don't know if Maura told you but the money comes from my wife's side and I remember picking up my father in law from the airport 40 years ago, driving back to their mansion and having the same conversation with him. Trust me Jane. I know how you feel right now and because I have been in your shoes I'm willing to give you a chance to prove yourself to me, to prove that you're good enough for my daughter, but if you hurt my daughter I will end you. Know that I have the connection and the means to do so."Looking Jane straight in the eyes Mr Isles could feel Jane's determination and somehow was sympathizing with the situation she was in and because he had been in the same seat years ago was willing to give her a chance.

"I…I won't disappoint you Sir. I promise. Now we're driving to the hospital to see your wife or maybe you would like to stop by your house first."Swallowing hard Jane was somehow relieved that he had been in her shoes and that he knew how she felt and that he would therefore not have any prejudice but was still aware that he would be hard to seduce.

"No, I would like to see my wife, how is she?"

"Well she suffered form an open pelvic fracture and had some cranial bleeding but everything is under control. She's going to need physical therapy for several month to learn how to walk again you know but she should be fine. I must admit she is a fantastic spirit."

"Yes, my wife is a fighter. I think we're going to stay in Boston until she's perfectly healed.I don't want to compromise her recovery by flying her back to New-York."

"Actually Maura already planned her recovery Sir. She's planning on moving her to her house and is going to supervise the physical therapy. I thought she would have told you…"

"She didn't but I'm not surprised but I don't want her to overwork herself. I'm sure we can manage to install Constance at our mansion and hire a nurse to take care of her."

"Yeah…I'm not sure she's going to agree to that but you can certainly try to convince her."Jane replied knowing how stubborn Maura was.

"Yes, right now all I want is to hold them in my arms. We'll figure something out later."

An hour later Jane and Mr Isles finally arrived at the hospital where Maura and her mother were expected them.

"Dad, you're here!"Maura replied rushing into his arms.

"Yes I am."Almost stumbling as he feel his daughter literally jumping in his arms Mr Isles quickly took a look at his wife.

"Charles dear, it's good to see you."Standing straight in her hospital bed Constance was finally smiling knowing that she was going to be able to hold him in her arms in a few seconds.

"I'm sorry dad, I got overwhelmed."Maura replied wiping the tears off her face before releasing her dad.

"It's alright sweetheart. I just need a minute to hold my beautiful wife but I'm sure Detective Rizzoli here will be happy to take over."He smiled winking at Jane.

"Yes Sir. Come here."Jane replied pulling Maura in her arms.

"Oh Constance. I'm so sorry it took me so long to come back. I promise I'm never leaving you again."Mr Isles said rushing in his wife's arms.

Standing there holding each other Jane and Maura were happy that the two love birds were finally reunited and amazed by how in love they seemed to be after 40 years.

For the past few years Jane had heard about Maura's parents traveling habits and always found it odd that they could live apart sometimes for weeks at the time but seeing how they were holding each other she knew that they truly loved each other.

Standing there seeing the happy couple reunited the two women had a feeling that things were finally going the right way . Well that was until they received an impromptu visit.

"Detective Rizzoli, Dr Isles, May I speak with you?"A man suddenly said standing behind them.

"And you are?"Turning around Maura and Jane immediately spotted his badge and knew that this moment of happiness was over.

"I'm Detective Reese, from internal. I would like both of you to come with me now." The man said flashing his badge as them.

"What is this regarding?" Mr Isles asked taking a step towards the man who was clearly threatening his daughter.

"I would like to interrogate Dr Isles and Jane regarding the shooting that took place two weeks ago. I'm sure it shouldn't take long."

"It's alright dad. We knew this day would come. Please take care of mom. I shouldn't be gone too long."Maura replied sliding between them.

"Alright. Do you and Jane need our lawyer to join you?"

"No, we didn't do anything wrong. Don't worry about it. I love you dad." Maura replied kissing his cheek.

"I love you too darling."

Leaving the room following the Detective Maura and Jane tried to remain calm and confident but knew that hell was about to break loose and war hoping that IAB hadn't find the connection between Maura and Doyle but were both determined to do what ever it took to protect each other.

Alright guys, as you may have noticed I'm trying to finish all my stories. I started with first of all I would be the guy and I think I'm inspired again.

Now I need your help with this one. As I said before I can see this story ending in a couple of chapter. Do you think it's a good idea? Do you have any suggestions at all?

Thanks :)
