"Sweetheart…" Maura mumbled to the sleeping detective.
Jane murmured in her sleep and held onto the woman calling her name. Maura had been right. If she had gone to work she would have fallen asleep at her desk and all though Korsak and Frost were nice; the other men in her unit weren't. They would have most likely done something stupid like glue her paperwork to her hair or something in that nature. She didn't even want to think about what they might have done to her innocent coffee.
"Jane…" Maura called softly, "you can go back to cuddling me as soon as you let me up and go pee."
"Fine." Jane huffed and let go of her girlfriend.
"I love you." Maura gave her a kiss before heading off to the bathroom, favoring her hurt shoulder.
"Hmm." Jane murmured again before opening her eyes to the dim room.
"I'm sorry… I didn't want to wake you up, but you had me pinned." Maura whispered as she came back into the room with a glass of water and a pill in her hand.
"It's ok… you need help?" Jane asked, watching Maura decide how to take the pain killer.
"No. I want to keep some of my independence." Maura told her before popping the pill in her mouth and taking a drink of water.
A little taken back at Maura's snippy tone Jane stays quite. The caramel hair woman lies down and pulls Jane to her side in an instant. She nuzzles the top of Jane's black hair and whispers her apology in it. Jane just smiles and lifts her head to kiss Maura before snuggling back into the comfort they had before Maura had to pee.
"Jane?" Maura asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Yeah Maur?"
"Are you wake enough to listen to what I meant by not growing up in the mobster world."
"Yes I'm awake." Jane said sitting up and moving so Maura could lay her head on her lap and looks up at her, "good?"
"Yep ok… where to start…" Maura then begins to tell her story, "Before I was born my mother, Ashley, and my father fought a lot. She left him when she found out she was pregnant with me. She met a nice man, a professor named James. He didn't care that she was going to have a child and married her saying that if he loved her then why wouldn't he love her child? After they got married I was born."
"At home… I felt out of place. I know my mother loved me and James, true to his word, tried to keep me involved with their lives. I just… didn't fit in with his high life. You see he was rich from all the awards he had won in science and teaching. I finally gave in and found a way for me to get out of what I had once considered prison."
"Boarding schools. My mother was so proud when I was able to go and I was shipped away and only came back on breaks. The summer was spent mostly with my grandparents on her side. They showed me and taught me a lot of the things I know today. It was because of them that I had found my passion in medicine."
"I went straight to college after boarding school, I was the youngest in my class. After college I went to med school and got my license. Now that my life was put together I figured it was a good time to find my birth father. When I finally did find him and came to terms with what he did I… I just wanted to be loved again. He was gentle and kind, something that I hadn't felt in a long time, since I was younger."
"He took me under his wing and showed me the ropes of how he lived. I didn't enjoy it, but I felt I owned it to him as his daughter… then I saw you. You made me rethink everything. Was what I did worth not being with you? Was I going to have to choose between my new life and my new love? And you surprised me. You accepted the fact of what I had chosen to do and I was grateful… for that and you."
"Why didn't you try and find him before college?"
"Simple." Maura smiled, "I was too busy making my mom proud I didn't think about what I wanted."
"What do you want now?" Jane ask… scared of the answer.
"You."
