Jane breathed in deep as she slowly awakened from her slumber. She groaned softly, feeling sore all over. There was a moment where she wondered what happened to her, but as her eyes fluttered open and she came face to face with Maura those thoughts left her instantly. A smile tugged at her lips, memories of last night flooding back. Letting her eyes fall closed again, she reveled in the feeling of Maura pressed up against her.

Last night was amazing. And she had no idea how great it was to sleep with another woman. If she had known it would've been this amazing and satisfying, she would've forgotten about men long ago. And she also had no idea how agile Maura was. Seriously, the woman showed her things she had no idea existed. Sighing contently, Jane felt the honey blonde stir in her arms.

"Morning beautiful." Pressing a kiss to the top of her head, Jane watched Maura's eyes flutter open. She smiled up at her sleepily, before snuggling back into Jane's arms.

"Hmm, morning. How'd you sleep?" The Detective had never heard anything more adorable than Maura's sleep laced voice.

"Like a baby. You?" Maura mumbled something incoherent, before a soft snore filled Jane's ears. The Detective's eyebrows shot up into her hairline and she bit her lip to stop herself form bursting out laughing.

Did she seriously just fall asleep? Jane waited a few minutes longer, but when Maura's snores still filled the room, she quietly snuck out from underneath her. Breathing a sigh of relief when Maura grabbed her abandoned pillow and continued sleeping, Jane retreated to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

Smelling like daisies, Jane walked back into Maura's bedroom fifteen minutes later. She was dressed almost completely, except for her pants, which she couldn't get on and found Maura still peacefully asleep. Jane smiled softly.

Yesterday was more draining than it might've looked. Taking another minute to look at the woman she made love to last night – the thought immediately brightening her features – Jane quietly tiptoed out of the room, shutting it softly.

Making her way to the kitchen she decided making a start on breakfast wasn't a bad idea. Thankful for having already cooked them something last night, Jane was able to find everything pretty quickly. Opting for making some French toast and scrambled eggs with bacon, Jane got to work.

At least this was something she was able to do half decently with a cast on. Cutting up some bread proved to be the hardest task, but Jane was glad with the result she ended up with.

Humming to herself, she failed to notice the pitter patter of footsteps approaching her. Feeling two arms go around her waist, she looked over her shoulder to see an awake Maura smiling up at her.

"Morning." Jane chuckled softly.

"Morning… again." Maura nuzzled Jane's neck, stopping momentarily to look up at the other woman.

"What are you talking about? I haven't talked to you today." Jane raised an eyebrow, patting Maura's hands. Getting what Jane was trying to say, Maura stepped back to let Jane plate up.

"Yeah you did. You asked me how I slept and when I asked you, your answer was snoring." Maura scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest. It was only then that Jane noticed she was wearing the Detective's shirt from the day before. She smiled, the sight warming her heart.

"I don't snore." This time, Jane didn't hold back her laughter. Discarding the dirty dishes in the sink, Jane motioned for Maura to sit as she set their plates on the island.

"Yes you do. And quite adorably if I might add." Emphasizing her point, Jane kissed Maura on the top of her head, snuck her arms around her waist and made a soft snoring sound.

"Jane!" The Detective laughed, sitting down next to her offended Doctor.

My doctor. Kind of has a nice ring to it.

"Oh come on babe. Everyone snores. Except for me." Digging into her eggs, she smiled brightly at Maura.

The honey blonde rolled her eyes before taking a hesitant bite herself. Jane raised her eyebrow.

"Scared I'll poison you? Take advantage of you later?" She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively, leaning in to nibble on Maura's ear.

The other woman swatted her away, a smile on her lips.

"Jane! I've turned you into a monster."

"A very sexy monster." They shared a short laugh.

"And no, I'm not afraid you're going to poison me. I just wasn't sure you didn't burn anything." Jane stopped mid-chew, staring at the other woman for a moment.

"What?" Maura frowned, watching as a couple of crumbles of French toast left Jane's mouth.

"Don't talk with your mouth full. And I didn't mean to sound offending. I just meant that it might not have been easy with your wrist. But it's perfect." Leaning in, Maura claimed Jane's lips.

"Hmm, you're lucky you're such a good kisser." Maura smirked, resuming her breakfast. The two bantered all the way through breakfast, sneaking kisses in here and now. Making quick work of clearing the table, Maura kissed Jane before telling her she'd be taking a shower. Jane watched her go, torn between following her and doing the dishes.

Reasoning with herself that she would probably drop a plate or two, she quickly dashed after Maura. The Doctor had just turned on the water and stepped in, when the door opened. Turning around, she watched Jane quickly discard her shirt and underwear, making quick work of pulling a plastic bag over her cast, before stepping in, encircling Maura.

"I thought you already took a shower?" Maura's eyes told her that she didn't matter at all and Jane smiled down at her shrugging.

"I didn't scrub good enough."

"Well enough."

"Are you seriously giving me grammar lessons right now? Cause I'd rather you teach me some biology." Maura laughed, throwing her head back.

"Oh really?" Twinkling eyes stared back at her as she leaned and to capture Jane's lips.

Bringing her lips up to the Detective's ear, she smirked. "I guess we'd better get started then."

Both women stepped out of the shower an hour later, clean and satisfied. Walking into the kitchen, Maura went to clean the dishes immediately. Jane groaned, leaning her head back.

"Maura! We can do that later. Come on, sit down with me." But Maura kept going, filling the sink with water.

"I'd rather do it now Jane. I don't like it when there are dirty dishes around. Besides, it'll only take a minute." She turned to look over her shoulder and smirked. "Why don't you get us a snack and set up that movie we were supposed to watch last night." The same smirk appeared on Jane's face, remembering what happened.

"Fine. But know that what happened last night is not going to happen now." Maura laughed softly.

"I think I would be able to easily change your mind. But I won't." With a shrug of her shoulders, she started scrubbing the plates, leaving Jane to look for some popcorn.

Shouting victory when she found it, she made quick work to put it in the microwave and get them something to drink. Setting everything down on the coffee table, she grabbed the remote for the DVD player. It was still on and Jane smiled, shaking her head. Maura had all but dragged her to her bedroom. Jane barely had enough time to ask why Maura was so fired up, before the Doctor had pushed her on the bed and stripped them both. Before she had kissed her, she whispered that watching her lick her fingers clean was the most erotic thing she had ever seen and she was going to repay the favor. That was the last thing before a feeling of pure bliss had overcome Jane and everything else was forgotten.

"Ready?" Jane looked up, startled out of her thoughts. Nodding, she patted the spot right next to her. Maura sat down, snuggling into Jane when the Detective leaned back.

Jane had made sure the popcorn was on her lap, diving in to grab a handful. She watched the opening credits intently, having no idea what movie she had grabbed. She hadn't even bothered to check before pressing play either. When she saw monkeys, she groaned.

"We're watching a documentary about monkeys?" She felt Maura shake her head.

"No, we're watching a documentary about the mating behavior of primates." Jane was quiet for a moment.

"Maura." She started, looking down at the woman. "If you want to watch porn you can just tell me. I think I can find something that's way more suitable for us." She tried to look serious, but the amusement in her eyes and the smile on her face gave her away.

Maura sighed, shaking her head at the Detective. "You're not funny Jane." Jane laughed.

"I always thought I was. I was told so various times too. Huh, that's strange." A slap to her thigh, made her chuckle. "I'm just kidding. But are you sure you want to watch this?" Maura glanced up at her.

"If you're not comfortable with this Jane you can pick a different movie." There was a hint of amusement in Maura's voice.

"It's not that I'm uncomfortable with it! It's just… I thought you'd want to watch a romantic movie or something. Y'know. Something girlie." Jane frowned at the screen when a certain scene showed something she wished she'd never see. "Okay, maybe I am a bit uncomfortable with it. But only because of the fact that there had to people there to film it! Poor monkeys."

"And how is this different to porn?" Jane opened her mouth to retort, but found that she didn't have an answer. Huffing, she glared down at Maura.

The honey blonde smiled, before getting off the couch. She walked over to the stack of DVD's, looking for one in particular. Or at least, that's what Jane thought. She kept discarding DVD after DVD, frowning a few times.

Eventually, Maura brightened up and went over to the DVD player to pop a different one in. Settling back against Jane, she smiled up at the other woman.

"You're going to like this movie." Jane raised an eyebrow, but kept quiet, watching in silence as the title came on. Imagine me & you.

"So you've watched the entire thing already?" Jane stretched, letting out a long yawn.

"No, I've seen the first thirty minutes. I was interrupted and I never had the chance to finish it. Did you like it?" She watched as Jane pondered the question over, cocking her head from side to side

"Yeah. I guess so. It was actually like all the other romantic comedies, but y'know, with two women." Maura smiled softly, leaning in to place a kiss on Jane's cheek.

Jane turned her head, ready to show Maura what a real kiss was, when her phone rang. She groaned as she checked the screen. "It's my Ma."

"You should take it. It might be important." Jane shook her head at Maura.

"If you think setting me up with a guy is important." Sighing, she pressed the 'answer' button.

"Hey Ma."

"Don't you hey Ma me. Why aren't you home?" Jane glanced over at Maura, smiling apologetically.

"I'm over at Maura's Ma. What are you doing at my place?"

"Oh, are you finally forgiving that sweet kind woman? It's about time. The way you were acting was ridiculous. Shameful even!"

"Ma! Just tell me why you're calling me." She heard her mother sigh, before a much more serious tone filled her ear.

"I need a place to stay Janie." Jane frowned.

"What do you mean? You have your own apartment."

"I had my own apartment. Mr. Hodge kicked me out."

"Why the hell did he kick you out!? Do you need me to go over there? I'll make him sorry for kicking you out." Jane was already up, gathering her car keys when her mother's voice stopped her.

"Jane, please don't… It's my fault Janie. I couldn't pay the rent." Jane stood frozen for a moment, processing this information.

"What do you mean you couldn't pay the rent? You have your job at the café."

"It's not enough to cover the rent." Jane's expression softened and she sat back down next to Maura. The other woman had been concerned, only hearing Jane's side of the conversation.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? I could've helped out."

"I appreciate it honey, but you have enough to worry about without your mother asking for money. Can I just stay with you for a while? Until I find something else?"

Jane couldn't say no. After all, her mother never really asked for anything. Normally she would just barge in, tell her that she'd be staying with her and there would be no room for arguing. Jane swallowed, sighing softly.

"Of course Ma. I'll be home soon okay? Just let yourself in."

"Thank you sweetie. I'm sorry." Jane shook her head, but remembered that Angela couldn't see her.

"No problem. I'll see you later." Hanging up, she turned towards Maura.

"Everything okay?" Running a hand through her hair, Jane shrugged.

"I'm not sure. Ma got kicked out because she couldn't pay rent and she's going to be staying with me for a while. I can't believe she wouldn't tell me any of this sooner." Maura reached out a hand, trying to calm Jane down.

"I haven't known your mother for that long Jane, but I've seen that she's a very independent woman. I don't think she asks for a lot. She might think that asking you for help is a weakness."

"But I'm her daughter! She can ask me anything!" Maura smiled softly.

"Do you ask her for help when you need it?" Jane frowned.

"What do you mean? That's different!" Maura shook her head.

"No it's not. I've learned by now that the Rizzoli family is very stubborn. You don't ask for help quickly, or for anything for that matter. That's why I'm thankful you let me help you." Jane looked down at Maura's hand, covering it with her own. Smiling up at Maura, she pressed a soft kiss on her lips.

"Me too." Leaning back, the two looked at each other for a moment. Jane broke the silence. "And I'm sorry, but I have to go. Ma is expecting me." Maura nodded understanding in her eyes.

"Of course! Go." Jane gathered her things and Maura walked her to the door. Opening it, Jane hesitated for a minute.

"I'll call you tonight." Maura nodded, leaning up to steal a kiss.

She watched until Jane was out of sight before she closed the door. Sighing softly, she looked over at Bass.

"What do you think Bass? Do you like her?" All the tortoise did was stare at her, unmoving. Maura laughed, shaking her head. Why did she even expect an answer? "Well, I do."
