**Disclaimer I do not own R&I, or Hercules, or Disney, or Greek Mythology sooo...**
That's when Jane looked back, she saw the woman she loved, walking away, like nothing.
"Mother, this is the moment… I've been waiting for this my whole life."
Her mother nodded, she knew.
"A life without Maura though, even an immortal life, it'd just be empty. A life without saving those around me, a life without my adopted mother who I truly love, it'd be empty, even with you. This is all I craved, but it…it is not what I need. I wish to stay on earth."
Maura had stopped hearing her name and both walked toward each other.
Her mother looked at both of them, but mainly her daughter, with shock and surprise.
Jane embraced Maura and Maura put her head on her shoulder and hand on her heart while humming.
She couldn't believe what Jane was saying, did she truly love her that much?
Her mother nodded, understanding.
Jane kissed her on the lips, finally. It was like everything was finally right. That second, she lost her immortal power but still had her strength as always, and she knew she would protect the world.
Maura pulled her in towards her even more, deepening the kiss.
They went back to their mortal lives.
"Look…" Maura said pointing toward the sky.
It was her mother; she was creating constellation of stars in Jane's form.
She knew she would have more love to fill the rest of her life.
"That's Korsak's girl!" A citizen said and he couldn't help but swell with pride.
They would be together the rest of their lives, happy, they would go down in history, forever.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"That's the story." Jane smiled to her kids.
"Happy ending huh sweetie?" Maura smiled as she stood and gave the love of her life a kiss on the lips.
"What can I say? I'm sort of a romantic at heart." Jane responded.
"Ewww ma that's gross."
"Soon enough you will find a girl, and your sister will find a boy and both of you will be gone and your mom will be the only thing I have left."
"I'll always love you mommy." Mia said. "I'd never leave you."
Jane took her daughter in her arms.
"I know baby."
"Dash you have to admit you loved the story."
"Happy ending!" Mia said happily.
"Yeah I like the titan part. Jane has always been bad-"
Mara gave him a look.
"I mean…she was always cool!"
"I wonder where he got that from." Maura said looking at Jane while the other woman just laughed.
"You call me out enough on my language to know Dr. Death."
Jane said as she set the small girl down.
It actually made her happy when their son didn't want to miss; he actually seemed concerned for the upcoming test.
Sill at this time, school had ended.
"How about we go watch a movie huh? Ma's tired of telling stories I'm sure."
"Psh, she just makes it up as she goes along." Dash laughed. Now it was Jane who gave him a look. "Even I liked the happy ending though."
Jane was satisfied with that response. "It seems you feel a lot better if you are willing to criticize my stories."
Dash thought for a second, that fact being evident on his face. Jane could see him furrow his eyebrows as she did on many occasions. Then a genuine smile spread across his face.
"Hey I guess you are right!"
"I'm happy to hear it." Maura said as she walked toward her son. She put the back of her hand on her son's head. After they came into their lives Maura realized that no extensive medical training could ever beat a mother's natural instinct. There was nothing like a hot bowl of soup and a kiss here and there on a boo-boo or two to make the world seem right again."Yep, much better."
"So movie time?!" Jane asked excitedly.
"Yep I sometimes almost forget you are more of a child then them, but that's fine by me."
"I'll set it up and then start dinner."
Maura appreciated the gesture of Jane cooking, she did it often but sometimes she forgets just how much everything is divided between the two of them.
"Thanks babe." Maura smiled.
That's what they did. As the previews started to play, Jane looked at their son and gave Maura a look.
She understood what this meant.
"So kid, how old are you again?" She asked.
Dash was offended by the question. "You are my mother! You should know! The way you know I hate it when you call me kid."
"Aw yeah, it makes me feel like…"
"I'm not yours. Yeah it does. You are my mom and when you say that it makes me feel like a stranger."
Jane smiled. "I'm sorry D. You're right, I'll be more careful, but there's a reason that I asked."
"You see your mother and I have been talking and mutually decided that…Jane should you tell him?"
"No, go ahead." Jane said.
"I mean it was both of our ideas."
"WILL SOMEONE PLEASE JUST TELL ME?" Dash said looking between the two women.
"Well…we decided that this summer, you are going to move into your own room." They gave the news at the same time.
"Wait…" He was trying to process what they had just said.
Then he had it sink in and Jane waited for the explosion that she knew would come, which did.
"Oh my gosh, really?! Yes! Thank you so much!" Dash said excitedly as he stood up and hugged both his mothers and kissed them on the cheek. "I FINALLY GET TO HAVE A BOY'S ROOM. I'll hang up my posters and decorate it. Mom can we paint it blue?!"
"If you want, it'll be your room!" Jane said with her own enthusiasm, the summer would be nice with a project to work on.
"As long as whatever you do looks nice with the hose as a whole, which I'm sure it will I'm alright with anything." Maura said thinking about it on a larger scale.
"Dash is not going to sleep with me anymore? He doesn't like me anymore?" Mia said sadly.
Maura could hear the real sorrow in her voice. She saw her daughter almost in tears
"Awww no It's alright sweetie. Your room can be all girly completely now!" Maura said trying to get her used to the idea. "We can make it a princess room!" Maura smiled, and at this Mia light up once more.
"Yeah, and you don't have to be scared! If anything goes bump in the night I can run to your room in a heartbeat or you can come to mommy and me yourself. You know we never have the door locked to you."
Maura cleared her throat.
"And…if it is you just have to knock." Jane finished a little more embarrassed and flustered, as she forgot that, sometimes they did. They were married grown adults she figured nothing was wrong with that.
They hadn't had the talk with their kids yet, figuring they were still a bit young; "the birds and the bees" was just a little mature. They'd answer questions but only to an extent.
They both figured that they would let the schools answer any questions when the time came, and if anyone had questions after that then they'd talk, it'd be helpful having an actual physician to talk about it.
"Okay…" Mia said a little small but more confident.
With that the movie was on the home screen and Jane got up and pushed play and headed to the kitchen.
She didn't know what the future would bring. She was not sure if she would end up having to slay real life dragons or anything along those lines, but she knew that she had already gotten her happy ending.
**And with that, this story is finished. I'm sorry I had not updated in forever but I hope the fact I finished it makes up for any grudges haha and I really do hope you enjoyed. I left how they obtained their kids up to the imagination, as adoption, sperm banks, and surrogate mothers and even in vitro fertilization are obvious options, but it shouldn't matter how, just that they are happy.**
