Maura laughed as she walked the next morning with her wife into the kitchen. " It was great to let go again. "

Jane chuckled and shrugged her eyebrows. " I know you still had it in you. "

" What to let go and what did Maura had still in her? ", Anegela asked out of nothing.

Jane jumped slightly and looked at her mother. " Gee, Ma. Are you trying to kill me? "

Angela looked confused at her. " Why would I do that? "

" Because your sneaking up gives me a heart attack someday, Ma. ", Jane retored and chuckled as her mother rolled her eyes.

Angela stared at Jane. " What did the two of you talked about? "

Jane sighed and now rolled her eyes. " You know, Ma, as much as I love you, there are things that I don't want to talk about with you. "

Angeal realized that there was no change to get it out of her stubborndaughter and turned to her daughter-in-law. " What did you both talked abou ... ", she paused as she recognized plain eyes saw and raised her eyebrows while Jane rolled her eyes. " Oh! You to just enjoyed yourself last night. That's why Alexis stayed with me. "

" Yes, Ma. We enjoyed ourselves. ", Jane growled as she poured herself a cup of coffee.

" Now I know what you talked about. ", Angela said with glee. " When the kids were at my mother's house or hadleepover with friends. Frank and I enjoxned us too. I know how it is when you can let go when you orgasm. "

Jane choked at her coffee and scalded herself. " God damnit, Ma! Those are imaginations I don't want to have in my head. Eww ... "

" What? ", Angela said with a shrugg. " You're not in the age anymore ve of the birds and the bees. You're a mother by yourself you know how it works. "

" Yes. ", Jane repield and took a deep breath. " Yes, I actually know how it works, thank you. I just ... didn't ... " ,she trembled in in disguse. " Ugh, I will never get those pictures out of my head ... Ever again. "

Angela rolled again her eyes and turned to Maura. " Maura, sweetie. You have a guest. "

Maura looked at her watch and frowned. " I didn't expected anyone. Who is it? "

Angela shrugged. " Your mother. "

Jane choked and scalded herself again. " Ma, really? Constance sits in the living room and you tell everyone how you orgasmed in meantime we were not at home as kids. "

" Actually I was standing in the hall way. ", said a voice out of a sudden. " And I am not Constance. "

Maura turned her head and her mouth fell open as she saw Hope with her daughter at her side. " Hope! "

And again Jane chocked and turned around. " What in he ... ", shes paused as she saw Alexis. " aven? "

" What in heaven, what in heaven, what in heaven. ", Alexis repeated cheerfully while she jumped up and down and ran then to Angela. " Nonna, what in heaven. "

Maura glared at her wife warningly.

Jane's head sunk a little bit down. " Sorry. ", she mumbled under her breath.

Maura sighed and looked at Hope. " Hope, what brings you here? "

" Do you need any new organs from your personal spare parts storage called your daughter? ", Jane growled.

" Jane! ", Angela and Maura said in unisom.

Jane made a face. " Sorry, it just became a habit to react so as soon as I see you. "

Hope took a deep breath. " You're still mad at me, I understand. "

" Don't encourage her. ", Maura said and looked at her wife. " So, what are you doing here? I didn't hear from you for a while. Is Cailin alright? "

Hope smiled and nodded. " Everything is just fine. Cailin is as well as alwys. I just wanted to come by to see you. I know I should have called but I was pretty busy and travelled a lot. "

" Since four months too busy to call or email your elder daughter? ", Jane growled again.

Everyone knew that Jane could be very bear grudges and she let know it the person feel she is pissed at.

Maura rolled her eyes and sighed. " Just ... ignore her. "

Jane reaised her eyebrows. " Well, thank you, my beloved wife. "

Maura ignored the statement and shrugged. " Just like I do it. See, it's not a hard task. "

Jane huffed and picked her daughter up. " Mommy is mean to Mama today. So ... let's go and get a ride on Bass. "

Maura glared at her wife. " Don't you dare, Jane. "

Jane grinned at her daughter. " And what Mommy doesn't know won't kill her. "

Maura sighed and shook her head. " I feel like I have two toddler. "

" I've heard that. ", Jane yelled from the hall way.

" Good. ", Maura replied in the same volumen. Then she looked at her biological mother. " I'm sorry, she's alwas like this when we had a ... evening for us alone. So, tell me, where have you been? "

Hope accepted the cup and sipped the coffee. " I was the last months in Stockholm. You know how it is. You are here and then suddenly you are there and in time everything spins around you and you don't know anymore where your head is.I just came back to Boston and wanted to see my first granddaughter. And of course you too. "

Maura smiled warmly and sighed. " It's good to see you too. Jane is just too stubborn to forgive someone easily. She normaly isn't that way. "

Hope smiled and nodded. " I know, she loves you. I mean, what I did to you in the past after we got to know wach other wasn't the best way to treat you after all you did for Caillin and me. "

" You know what? ", Maura said suddenly and took a deep breath. " You said it right. It is past, it's done, closed up, finished. We'd started all over again. You were at my wedding and you helped us a lot, we're done with the past. Let's never talk about it again. Okay? "

Hope smiled in relief. " Okay. ", then she looked in the direction where Jane and Alexis had disappeared. " Alexis has gotten big in those four months. "

Maura sighed and sipped her coffee. " Yes, she is. We can watch everyday that she grows a little more. "

Sadness suddenly filled the room and Hope looked long at Maura. " I wish I had seen you grow up. "

Maura sighed and smiled sadly. " Me too. "

Jane came into the bullpen and grinned widely.

Korsak looked up and raised his eyebrows. " Uh ...Oh. Look who's in such a good mood. "

Jane rolled her eyes and sat down at her desk.

Masterson came into the office and stopped dead. " Maura and you were in intimate togetherness. "

Jane drew her eyebrows together. " How do you know that? "

Masterson shrugged and smirked.

" I will never ask you that again. ", Jane said and shuddered. " More imaginations in my head that I didn't want there. This day shall be damned. So, where are we standing? "

" That's a good question, Rizzoli. ", Cavanaugh said as he also entered the bullpen. " Where are we standing in this case? "

Jane stood up and kneaded with big eyes her hands. " Uh ... we found out that chain of murders begun in Seattle fifteen years ago. Based on that information and the informations Fred Sinclair's wife gave us we can say that he is the very same killer who terrorized the west coast of the USA. "

Cavanaugh nodded slowly. " So, why is the case still open? "

Jane looked helplessly at her partners. " Uh ... "

Masterson stood up and held a strack of files up. " We think that he have had more victims then we already know. "

Cavanaugh frowned. " Really? "

" Really? ", Jane asked suprised.

Masterson nodded. " I think that guy stroke terror into people's hearts as well in Baltimore. "

Cavanaugh raised his eyebrows. " What makes you thin so? "

" Yeah, ", Jane said with drewn toghether eyebrows as she crossed her arms. " tell us ... what makes you think so? "

Masterson saw that her partner was really pissed. " Well, I've worked on a case in Baltimore with the same M.O. ", he raised his raight index finger. " With one difference. "

" And what was that? ", Jane wanted to know.

" He didn't kept the womens as a hostage for a couple of months. He killed them a couple of hours later after they where kidnapped. Kidnapped from a wealthy place, raped and strangled and then they were unloaded like a garbage bag. I worked on this case for whole three years. There was always a space of time where nothing happened and then it all started all over again. "

Cavanaugh nodded slowly and drew his eyebrows together. " And how shall we get those files from Baltimore, Detective Masterson? "

Masterson sighedand pressed his lips together. " I am still conected with the Police Department in Baltimore. "

" Alright, ", Cavanaugh said. " Make the necessary calls we need and I contact your former Captain. "

Masterson nodded and swallowed hard.

Jane trudged angrily to Masterson's desk. " Would it have hurt you to inform Korsak and me? Or did you needed Cavanaugh's appreciativeness? "

Masterson chewed on his bottom lip and sighed. " I just connected the dots today, okay? I wanted to tell you that but then Cavanaugh came in. I didn't wanted his appreciativeness, I safed this case from being closed. Alright? I want to know if he'd killed ... ", he stoppped himself and sighed again. " I want to know if I and my gut is right. That's all, Rizzoli. "

Jane looked long at him and she could see that he was hiding something huge from Korsak and her and of course Maura. " We go to the Robber, tonight. And then you tell us what you are not telling us. There is no compromise, there is no escape. After our shif. Got that? "

Masterson looked at her and he knew that it was time to lay it on the line. She was right. There were no compromise or escape. He sighed and nodded. " Ten four. "

Jane smiled a little. " Good. "

Korsak saluted in front of her and Jane rolled her eyes. " Am I invited too, Ma'am? "

Jane sat down at her desk and growled. " Yeah, to your own funeral if you call me again Ma'am. "

Korsak chuckled and sat down too.

Jane came into Maura's office and smiled broadly as she saw her wife. " Are you free tonight? "

Maura looked up from her laptop and frowned. " Well, yes. Why do you ask? "

Jane just shrugged. " It could be that you had made plans with Hope. "

" No, I didn't. I would have told you if we did have made plans. ", Maura said and frowned. " Are we going somewhere tonight? "

Jane nodded in agreement. " Yeah, we meet the guys in the Drity Robber and Masterson will ... no have to tell us his story. "

Maura drew her eyebrows together. She sensed that something had happened that bothered her wife. " What had happened? "

Jane gritted her teeth. " Did h told you yesterday that he already worked on a similar case in Baltimore as you two were talking? "

Maura resisted the urge to ask how the hell Jane knew that Masterson and she had been talking and shook her head. " No, I asked him what it is that is bothering so much because I know he wasn't like this in the past and I asked why he did leave Baltimore but he didn't wanted to talk about it. So I stopped asking because Ryan is a male version of you and I know if I would push him too much he would run away. Did you force him to come to the Robber tonight? "

Jane nodded vehemently. " Yes, I forced him to come to the Robber tonight. "

" And Ryan agreed? "

" Yes, Ryan agreed. "

Maura narrowed her eyes and shook her head. " Why do you do this? "

Jane snorted and gritted her teeth. " Because I didn't bottled the information that I already worked at a very similar case up. I need to trust him. He is my backup. If I can't trust him I can't work with him. And I start to like him. "

Maura looked at her wife in disbelief. " You already like him. "

Jane huffed. " I will vehemently deny it. "

Maura had to chuckle, stood up, waited for Jane to come closer and kissed her lips. " I love you. "

" Just because I like your ex-lover. ", Jane mumbled.

Maura sat back and laughed. " Yes, that's the only reason. Because I knew, as we started dating, that in the future my ex-boyfriend will work here with you. Yes, Jane, you are right. "

Jane smireked proudly. " You're becoming a pro at using sarcasm. "

" I've learned from the best. ", Maura repield.

Jane started to dance a jig as she left her wife's office. " See you after our shift. "

Maura laughed out loud and shook her head. Yes, she loved her wife for whom she was.
