Enjoy!
The women found their seats inside the ballpark with ease. Purchasing higher priced seats was a superb idea by Maura. Not only were they were able to avoid the queues and reach their destination with 20 minutes to spare, but the view of the park was spectacular. They hadn't had to fight through the crowds to get there and they had their own personal space once they had found their designated seats.
Once comfortably in place Jane took the opportunity to fully appreciate the moment sat on the high stools above the rest of the spectators. Jane gazed around in awe at her surroundings and began to get lost in the atmosphere. Maura on the other hand didn't let her eyes wonder even once from the beautiful brunette sat before her. Seeing Jane in her element was something completely new for the doctor, and she liked it.
Finally the Detective came round and noticed that Maura was blatantly staring at her with a huge smile on her face.
"What?" Jane laughed uncomfortably but couldn't help return the smile.
"Nothing. I just like seeing you enjoying yourself." The doctor nonchalantly replied.
Their eyes met and neither of them were able to tear their gaze away. Both of them smiling stupidly at each other, just staring into each others eyes.
The only thing that broke their eye contact was a loud and deep growl from Jane's stomach, causing both of them to look down at the offending area on the lean woman's body.
"Sorry! I thought you were taking me to a restaurant so I didn't eat!" Jane announced as she made an effort to silence her stomach by wrapping her arms around herself.
"Just wait here." And with that, Maura hopped down off her stool and made her way back into the stands until she was out of view.
Jane was left alone, she slumped forward across the ledge and sighed contently and she gazed around the ballpark dreamily. This is amazing, this place is amazing. This date is amazing, Maura is...Maura is undeniably amazing. She totally completes me. She has made me happier than I have felt in my entire life...after one date! How can I be so lucky?
Jane turned round just in time to see Maura returning, carefully making her way back down the steps cradling 4 bottles of beer. She also noticed a young concessions guy trailing closely behind her carrying numerous boxes and trays.
"Just here will be fine thank you." Maura instructed to the young man as she tapped the ledge where Jane had just been leaning.
He placed down a large assortment of fast food containers, before Maura added the beer bottles to the collection.
"Maur...you shouldn't have got all this. I mean I can't drink 4 bottles and eat all of this food." Jane winked playfully.
"I thought I would indulge myself in this whole experience..." the blonde replied as she sorted through the cartons and handed Jane a bottle "...so... if that means drinking beer and eating an unhealthy amount of carbs, sugar, fat and salt then so be it! Not to mention the likelihood of this food being prepared in unhygienic conditions..." before she could continue expanding on this subject the doctor found that her mouth had been covered by Jane's hand.
"Really Maur? You buy all of this food and then make wonder if the guy that cooked it washed his hands after he pee'd?"
Maura didn't try to respond with words, instead she simply puckered her lips and kissed the palm that was still covering them. Causing the brunette to gaze lovingly, her head tilted to the side, her eyes became glazed and a small smile formed at the corner of her mouth. Jane was truly head over heals with this woman. I think my heart just melted.
The moment passed and they both began eating and drinking happily while Jane began telling her friend about the history of the park and sharing some of her fondest memories of her father bringing her and the boys to games whenever he got the chance.
"So Jane, what are the electronic boards over there for?" Maura questioned, eager to hear Jane talk further about one of her passions.
"Mainly for the scores, ya know during the game but I suppose they thought they'd cash in on them by putting up ads and messages before the game starts. They're actually quite a new addition to the ground, think they only went up last year..." Jane stopped when she noticed that Maura has started to giggle at her "...what's so funny?"
"I think you have been spending to much time with me...google!"
"You are obviously having quite an impact on me..." the detective replied as she raised an eyebrow "...look, see..." she pointed towards the digital display in the far corner with her floppy hotdog before taking another bite "...guys pay for lame romantic messages like that one and wedding proposals to be put up in lights so that their brides-to-be can gush stupidly."
"Oh...you mean like that one?" Maura asked disappointment clear in her voice.
Jane turned to read the display once again. She immediately dropped her hotdog and most of the masticated food from within her mouth as her jaw dropped open at what she saw. Surrounded in digital love hearts and fireworks.

Will you be my girlfriend?

Jane blinked a few times to make sure she was reading it correctly, and finally closed her mouth before slowly turning to look at the blonde.
"Ha...ha...ha..." the blonde laughed uncomfortably "...too much?" She cringed, wrinkling her face up as she waited for Jane's response.
"Maura..." the brunette took a deep breath "...Maura, no one has ever done anything like that for me before. I...I feel quite overwhelmed right now."
"I'm sorry Jane, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I should have thought more clearly instead I got carried away with trying to make everything perfect. I went too far didn't I?"
"No...no Maura! Its...I'm touched that you put so much effort into this...for me..." the detective quickly brushed away a tear and tried to laugh it off "...oh man I feel like one of those stupid girls!"
Maura reached across and took one of Jane's hands in her own "You don't have to..."
"Yes...!" Jane interrupted "...yes I'll be your girlfriend, as long as you will say yes to you being mine?"
"Of course I will Jane..." the blonde laughed in relief "...now please tell me that they have that kiss cam thing here too like they do at basketball parks?"
"Maura!..." Jane could not help but laugh whilst pretending to be shocked "...and its a court, a basketball court not a park, anyway, how do you know about kiss-cams?"
"I saw it once on an episode of Modern Family..." Maura was shocked at her own admission, instantly covering her mouth with her hand "...please don't tell anyone I watch that show...I cant help myself!"
"Your secret is safe with me."
By the time the game started they had finished eating and Maura had insisted on disposing of all of the empty wrappers correctly instead of leaving them for the grounds keepers to pick up later. Shortly after the 5th innings Maura decided to go and purchase more beer for her girlfriend and upon her return she decided to be a little more confident.
The blonde slowly reached over and slid her hand under the brunettes which was sat out on offer, dangling over the ledge before them. Maura slowly ran her fingers down the length of Jane's slender digits until her hand was flat and their hands were palm to palm.
Instinctively they both curled their fingers round one another and exchanged a glance before returning to the action out on the field.
On several occasions Maura was dragged up out of her seat as Jane jumped out of hers fully immersed in the game. She was passionate about her team and really got involved. Not once did they lose contact. Maura had made up questions throughout the game, using it as an excuse to lean closer to the detective, lingering close for longer then needed. Both of them relishing at the small but innocent moments they could share together.
The game ended, sadly the Yankees won but this didn't spoil the date in any way. When it was finally time for them to leave, Maura casually linked arms with Jane as they made their way out of the park.
Walking closely together, arm in arm, Jane tilted her head a little closer to the blonde "I had a great time Maura, thank you. I really mean that."
"Even though your team lost you still had a good time?" Maura questioned, trying to understand sports fans.
Jane stopped and turned to face the smaller woman. For the first time in over an hour Jane broke contact. Suddenly feeling cold at the loss of contact. "Maur...even if the Sox hadn't turned up I would still have enjoyed it! Being here...with you...spending time, anywhere with you is good enough for me."
As the blonde was about to respond she was shoved quite roughly by some of the boisterous fans passing by. She stumbled forward and regained her balance when she came into contact with the lean detective that stood before her. The doctors hands accidentally landed on the firm abs directly in front of her. Instinctively, Jane reached out and helped steady her girlfriend further by placing her hands on either elbow.
Now left stood face to face in the middle of the bustling crowd, they were almost invisible to the oblivious passers by.
Maura's eyes gazed down to where her hands were settled "Wow!" she blushed at her sudden response but didn't remove them from where they were firmly planted.
Jane smiled, secretly pleased that Maura was impressed with her physique. She opened her mouth to speak but then she heard it. Cries. Cries for help that everyone else seemed to ignore. She turned, analyzing the crowd, desperately looking for the source.
"Jane? What is it?"
"You hear that Maur?...C'mon." The detective turned, taking Maura's petite hand in her own, pulling her through the crowds.
Then she saw it, in the middle of it all. A young man in his mid 20's slumped on the floor, crying out and tenderly cradling a heavily pregnant woman who was about the same age.
She dashed over to the spot on the Fenway Park parking lot where a small group had started to gather to get a slice of the action, Maura still firmly in tow.
"Boston PD!...move away...get back!" The detective announced as she forced her way into the small circle, flashing her badge on the way through. "Sir, what happened?"
"My fiancé...please help her, she's 36 weeks pregnant, please do something. I don't know what happened, we were walking, some guys bumped her then she started screaming and passed out."
The doctor was already down on the floor checking her vitals and looking for any obvious injuries. "We need to get her to a hospital now, the baby may be in danger. Jane can you help lift her?"
Jane immediately joined Maura beside the patient and took one of her limp arms, while the woman's fiancé mirrored her position on the other side. After a coordinated attempt, they pulled her to her feet. Just as she was in an upright position, she came to. Gasping for air and clearly in pain. The blonde sighed in relief "My car is just there, can you get her over to it?"
After a few agonising minutes the pregnant woman was stretched out across the back seat of Maura's Prius. Between gasps she managed to speak "I think...I think I'm having the baby James!"
The brunettes eyes shot open "Holy shit! Maura please tell me that she's just pissed herself and that her waters haven't just broke on your back seat?"
Maura's eyes also widened at the large wet patch that had suddenly appeared around the woman. "Oh my! I would need to conduct an examination to determine exactly what that fluid is...excuse me...Miss..."
"Chloe...her name is Chloe." the man interrupted.
"Chloe, did you just urinate on my back seat? I understand if it was unintentional but..."
Their suspicious were confirmed as Chloe screamed out, her knuckles turning white as she gripped on to the edges of the seat "I'm fucking in labour...get this thing out of me!"
"James call an ambulance! Jane get the picnic rug and my case from the trunk...now!" The doctor jumped into the back of the car and began trying to calm the woman to no avail. This was happening right here right now and it seemed Maura was the only medical professional on scene until the emergency crews arrived.
Jane returned and placed a hand on Maura's shoulder to show her support then and hastily handed over the blanket and the ME's kit.
"Jane...I can't deliver a baby!" The blonde whispered.
"Forget you are a dead people doctor...you are a doctor...that's all that matters." Jane tried to reassure the doctor who was now visibly shaking.
Maura tried to protest but was cut short by more screaming and the excessive force of the woman beside her grabbing her sweater and pulling her further into the car "Did she just say you are a doctor? Give me some fucking morphine or some shit!"
"No, no..well yes I am technically a Doctor but I am not an Emergency Doctor...I am the Chief Medical Examiner for the State of Massachusetts." She smiled proudly but it was quickly wiped of her face as she saw Chloe glaring back at her with her lip curled as though she was about to bark at her.
"Please, could you just help me." Chloe pleaded. Still gasping and trying to control her breathing through her contractions.
"Ambulance is on its way, they said it would be about 10 minutes." James shouted.
"Good, now get your ass round here. Go round the other side." The doctor instructed.
He appeared and Maura positioned Chloe across the seat, with James behind her supporting her upper body and holding her hands. While she got her self into position at the opposite end, planting herself firmly between the distressed woman's legs.
"Jane, make sure no one can see in...Chloe, I am sorry but I will have to remove your pants."
As Jane stood guard she turned at the least opportune moment, just as Maura pulled away the woman's underwear then placed the blanket over her lap to protect her modesty.
Again, the brunettes eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. This woman was certainly in labour. "Nope, never ever having kids after seeing that no matter how much Ma busts my balls!" the brunette mumbled to herself.
Jane had heard the snap of Maura's latex gloves being pulled on, she had heard the words of encouragement, the grunts and heavy breathing. She had not been prepared for the almost sudden sound of a baby crying.
She turned to witness the doctor cradling a screaming new born just before she proceeded to lean forward and hand the small being over to its relieved parents. In doing so, the blonde had put her curvaceous ass on show for the whole world and Jane to see. "Now there's a sight you don't see every day!" Jane laughed as she lowered her head to look inside the car "Congratulations." She added to the smiling couple.
As the doctor exited the car, the ambulance arrived. She gladly passed this one over to them, not before filling them in on what had happened.
Both women stood back, and linked arms as they watched the Ambulance pull away.
"Well, that's a date I'm never going to forget!" the blonde sighed.
"Yeah me too, you were amazing and nice ass Maur!"
"Thank you. I can show you other amazing things as soon as I got out of these dirty clothes!" emphasising the blood stained sweater by pulling it away from her body.
Jane raised a suggestive eyebrow in response as they got into the car and buckled up.
Shorty after, Maura pulled up outside Jane's apartment. In one swift fluid motion the blonde was out of the car and around the other side opening Jane's door, before the detective had even released the buckle of her seat belt.
"Really?" The brunette chuckled as she took Maura's outstretched hand to help her out of the car, allowing herself to be walked across the small side walk and to the front step of the apartment building.
They turned to face each other, feeling a little awkward. Jane reached out and took both of Maura's hands in her own before beginning to speak, just at the same time Maura began to speak, causing them to laugh.
The moonlight was bright, making Jane's dark eyes sparkle brightly "I really enjoyed your company Maur..hell I always enjoy being with you...but tonight you were..." She was cut off my the blondes soft hand grazing her cheek. Without thinking the brunette moved her face in further to the warm hand gaining more contact, before closing her eyes softly and breathing in deeply through her nose.
She hadn't had time to open her eyes again before she felt a set of firm lips upon her own.
The brunette gladly accepted the contact and reached around, placing her hands firmly on the smaller woman's back in the attempt to pull her in closer. Maura's free hand mirrored her other one and came to rest on the detectives other cheek, pulling her head in closer.
Their lips mashed together over and over again until Maura opened her mouth to take in a gasp of air. Jane tentatively introduced her tongue, running it along the plump lips then dipped it inside seeking out the blondes tongue which immediately reciprocated her actions.
A barking dog bought them back down to earth. They pulled apart, and rested their foreheads together.
"So, nightcap or something?" The brunette husked.
"I'll take the 'something' please detective." Maura replied through a goofy smile.
Please don't hate me for ending it there! It will happen...soon!
