Characters aren't mine.
"Maura, come on," Jane called from the couch. "You look amazing. Can we go now?" She was growing impatient.
"Sweetie, your appointment isn't for an hour and a half and the doctor's office is only fifteen minutes away," Maura replied from the bedroom.
"Yeah…well…maybe they can get us in early. Ya know if there are any no-shows."
"Sweetie," Maura said as she entered the living room and sat next to Jane. "I know that you are anxious, but this isn't going to make time go any faster." She leaned over and captured Jane's lips.
"What are ya doin'" Jane asked, a little confused. All morning Maura had been avoiding this, wanting to wait until after Jane's appointment.
"Trying to distract you," Maura said a hairs-breadth away from the brunette's lips. "Is it working?"
"Mhmm…yes," Jane moaned, pulling Maura onto her lap. She deepened the kiss while her hands began to wander to the blonde's hips. After a moment, she slid her hands under Maura's blouse towards her breasts.
At that, Maura pulled back. "Not yet," she placed a chaste kiss on her girlfriend's lips then tried to get up.
"Maur," Jane pleaded.
"Soon. I promise," Maura answered. Jane held Maura tight against her body. "I guess that wasn't the smartest distraction technique," Maura added smiling.
"It worked," Jane replied smiling back.
"Why don't we go out for coffee?" the M.E. asked.
"Coffee sounds good," Jane answered. "Not as good as making out with my girlfriend, but I guess it will have to do."
"Good," Maura replied with a kiss. "Just let me find my purse."
"It's on the chair in my room," Jane told her. "When you got home last night you put all of your things there before climbing into bed with me."
"Thanks sweetie," Maura said as she went to retrieve her purse. She re-entered the living room and walked over to the couch, holding out her hand for Jane. "Let's go."
Jane was tempted to pull Maura back down on the couch, but she knew the blonde would protest so she pulled herself to her feet. She kissed Maura then laced her fingers with the doctor's. "Let's."
They walked hand-in-hand down to Maura's car. Once there, Maura opened the passenger side door for Jane. "Thanks babe," Jane said before placing another soft kiss on her girlfriend's lips.
"You're welcome," Maura smiled at her. She then walked around to the other side of the car, climbed in, and started the engine.
Jane took Maura's hand again and kissed it softly before resting both their hands on her lap. She relaxed into the comfortable leather seat. "I love this car," she said as she closed her eyes.
"Really?" Maura asked. "I've always pictured you in a classic Mustang or something similar."
"That would be awesome," Jane replied. "But this car is incredibly sexy, especially with you behind the wheel," she added with a wink. "It's way better than my car."
"I don't know about that."
"Babe, I drive a Crown Vic," Jane said skeptically.
"Although it may not be as aesthetically pleasing as this car, I believe it does have one benefit that my car does not possess," Maura replied.
"Like what?"
"It looks very spacious," Maura answered. "It looks as though one could lie down comfortably in the backseat." She looked over at Jane and saw her biting her bottom lip, obviously contemplating the scenario that Maura had just implied. "Maybe we can test that theory later," she added with a smirk.
"I don't know babe," Jane started. "Being a police cruiser, I've had some very unsavory people in there. I think I'd have to get it detailed, multiple times, before I lay you down on that seat."
"That can be arranged," Maura replied. "You have no idea how many times I've fantasized about us in your car."
"Really?" Jane said smiling. "Fantasize about me a lot, did ya?"
"Quite frequently, yes," the blonde replied. "Did you ever fantasize about me?"
"All the time."
"Where did these fantasies take place?"
"Usually in my bed."
"Is that right?" Maura said.
"Yeah," Jane smile. "Ya know those times you stayed at my place because it got late or you had too much to drink?" Maura nodded. "Well…let me just say, we had more than coffee when we woke up."
Just then, they pulled up to the coffee shop and climbed out of the car. When Maura got around to the sidewalk, the detective wrapped her arm around he shorter woman's waist. Pulling her close, she placed a kiss on the top of Maura's head. Jane looked down at Maura and noticed a slightly astonished smile play across her features.
"What?" Jane asked.
"Nothing. It's just…" Maura stopped to search for the right words. She didn't want to offend Jane, or hurt her feelings.
"It's just what?"
"I just didn't think you would be this affectionate with me in public."
Jane started to pull her arm away. "Sorry." Maura didn't let her.
"No," she said holding Jane tight. "I like it. I guess I just assumed that you wouldn't be comfortable being affectionate in public."
"I thought you never assumed things," Jane replied with a wink.
"Usually, I don't," Maura said. "And this is precisely why. People are often wrong when they jump to a conclusion without all the facts." She brought Jane's free hand up to her mouth and kissed it. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."
"It's okay babe," Jane reassured Maura. "I can see why you'd assume that. Honestly, before you, I never really liked it when guys tried to hold my hand or kiss me while we were out. I've never really though of myself as one for public displays. I love you so much though I don't think I can go that long without putting my arm around you, or kissing you."
Maura pulled Jane to a stop just outside the door of the coffee shop. She tangled her fingers in the taller woman's wavy brown locks and pulled her down into a searing kiss. When she pulled back, she looked up into her lover's deep brown eyes and said, "I love you, too. So much." Maura then took a calming breath and led Jane through the front door of the coffee shop. "Why don't you go find us a table while I place our order?"
Jane squeezed Maura's waist and kissed her one last time. "'Kay. Just coffee for me. I'm not all that hungry."
"Okay."
Jane walked over and found a table in the middle of the room. She sat down and looked over at Maura. She couldn't contain the smile that crept across her face. That woman is so beautiful, she thought.
"Hey Rizzoli!" Jane heard Korsak shout. She looked over and saw him and Frost walking towards her.
"Hey," she replied smiling at the two detectives. "You two getting by without me?"
"It's been hell being stuck with this guy," Korsak joked.
"Yeah Jane," Frost said. "You need to speed up your recovery or you'll bee investigating his murder when you get back." They all laughed. "Seriously though, how are ya?"
"I'm good," Jane replied smiling. "Got a doctor's appointment in a little while to get these damn stitched removed. I plan on being back by Monday."
Maura didn't notice who was sitting at the table as she walked over to join her girlfriend. She kissed Jane's cheek as she placed two coffees and a muffin on the table. As she took the seat next to Jane, she glanced up to see the two detectives staring at her wide-eyed. She looked back at Jane and saw the blush rising on her face. She knew her own face must have been the same color. "I'm so sorry. I didn't notice anyone had joined you," she whispered to Jane.
Jane took a deep breath, looked over at a mortified Maura, and said, "It's okay babe." Then she looked over at Frost and Korsak who still hadn't said a word. "Maura and I are dating," she said to them, "as in girlfriends…" When they didn't respond she added, "You two okay?"
After another minute, Frost finally spoke. "Makes sense."
"What makes sense?" Jane asked.
"You two," he replied. "I mean, the way you two are with each other. The touching and the intense eye contact. Add to that, the way Maura was at the hospital, especially when they wouldn't let her see you. Makes sense."
"Ah…yes, I heard about that," Jane smiled at Maura, who was still slightly blushing. "Although, technically, we weren't together yet then."
"Since when then?" the young detective asked.
"Since I woke up in the hospital to her amazing smile," Jane replied taking Maura's hand. "She told me she loved me and that was that."
"Took you two long enough," Korsak said grinning at his ex-partner.
"What?" Jane shot at him.
"Oh come on," Korsak replied. "Anyone that's been in a room with the two of you for more that five minutes could see that you were into each other."
"Seriously?" Jane asked. She looked over at Maura, "why couldn't it have been that obvious to us?" She placed a kiss on Maura's hand.
"Yeah," Frost added, "the way you two look at each other, I sometimes felt like I was interrupting a personal moment."
"So, you two are okay with this?" Jane asked.
"Of course we are Janie," Korsak replied. "I haven't seen you this happy in…well ever. If Dr. Isles is the reason then I glad you two finally realized what was so very obvious to every other human being on the planet." That last comment earned him a punch to the arm from Jane.
"Thank you Vince," Maura said smiling. "And please, it's Maura."
"Just don't start gossiping about us at work," Jane said. "Please."
"Don't worry about it Rizzoli," Korsak replied.
"Yeah Jane, you're secret is safe with us," Frost said. "Although half of the precinct already assumed you two are an item."
"And the two of you never bothered to correct that misinformation?" Jane asked.
"Well…it's not really misinformation now, is it?" Korsak joked.
"Totally besides the point," Jane replied.
"Drink your coffee sweetie," Maura smiled at her girlfriend. "We don't want to be late for the doctor."
"Thanks, babe."
"And I know you said that you aren't hungry," Maura continued, "but you really should eat something so I got this for us to share." She pushed the muffin towards Jane.
"You've been taking good care of our Janie I see," Korsak said to Maura.
"I try," Maura replied smiling. "She can be very stubborn though."
"Don't I know it," Frost laughed.
"Hey!" Jane shot a dirty look at her partner.
"I said it first Jane," Maura said. "He was simply agreeing with me." Then glancing at her watch she added, "We should probably get going."
"'Kay," Jane looked from her girlfriend to Frost and Korsak. "Gotta go. See you guys later."
"Bye."
"See you later Rizzoli."
