"is it really Monday already?" Maura asked as she hit Jane's alarm clock. She couldn't believe the weekend was over and that both of them had to go to work and interact with other people. They had both become so comfortable with one another, and really genuinely loved being together. Right as Jane was about to respond, Maura's phone rang.

"Maura, who the hell is calling you this early on Monday morning?"

Maura looked at the front of her phone, as did Jane, and saw it was Jane's mother. Jane couldn't believe it.

"Let me answer it, please," Jane urged. "I told my mother to stop calling you, and to stop worrying about you. It's like her middle name is 'meddle'."

Maura couldn't help but laugh as her phone continued to ring. "Jane, if you answer my phone at 6:30 in the morning, your mom is going to know what's going on. Or at least she'll have several probing questions."

"Maura, I don't care, I just have to stop this."

As the phone continued to ring, Maura finally answered. Jane gestured in the background as she got out of her bed, telling Maura to tell her mother to stop calling her. Maura couldn't help but laugh at the crazy movements Jane was making.

"Angela, hi, it's Maura."

"I know it's you Maura, that's why I called. Now where are you?"

"Angela, I can assure you that I am fine, and being well taken care of. Now, I appreciate your concern, but you really don't have to worry about me. But, if it will make you feel better, I promise to be home later this evening."

As Maura pushed "end" on her phone, Jane was staring daggers at her. She hated how her mother was interfering in their lives, and calling Maura in really inopportune times.

"So, you're going to be at your place tonight, I see," she replied, very visibly annoyed.

"Well Jane, it was all I could say to get your mother off my back. You can come along, if you want."

"I think I'll do that. We can have dinner, and maybe officially tell her what's going on. I just can't get over how annoying she can be sometimes!"

"But you love her Jane. You guys are actually super cute together."

"If you say so."

Maura then got up and hopped in the shower, and got ready for work. She put on a really nice blue dress, with some killer nude Jimmy Choo heels. Jane got dressed in the standard "Jane" getup with regular black pants with a grey T-shirt and a black blazer over it. The two then snacked on coffee and bagels before heading over to the office.

"Jane, seriously, I have to go to work, and so do you! Come on, please let me out of this car," Maura pleaded between kisses.

"Well, I just don't know when we're going to see each other again…the streets of Boston have been quite quiet recently…"

"Jane, I promise, we'll see each other…now please let me go."

"Fine," she pouted as she kissed her once more. After Maura headed inside, Jane went to her favorite little cafe to confront her mother once again.

"Mom, I beg you, please stop calling Maura at weird times and meddling in her life. She's getting annoyed by it, but she's too nice to say anything to you."

Jane's mother looked at her as if to say "I don't give a fuck what you think."

"Wait, how did you know I called Dr. Isles this morning?" she sneakily asked.

"Well, of course I saw Maura on the way to the office, and she mentioned how you had called her, and I could tell she was annoyed. Now, I am begging you, please stop. And she's fine, and there's no new mystery guy in her life. I know you think that's what's going on."

As Jane's mother was about to respond, Jane's phone rang.

"Rizzoli," she answered in her normal tone.

"Really, OK. I'll be right there."

"OK mom, you're lucky there's been a homicide, but this isn't over."

Jane, Frost and Korsak descended into the woods to find a man, brutally slaughtered. Maura was already on the case, wearing gloves and examining the body.

"So what've we got," Jane asked.

"Steve Ainge, 34," Maura replied. "Whomever killed him wanted him to die and really, really suffer. There are two GSW's to the chest, and then another one, execution style in his head. Then, there are two stab wounds in his thighs, and his feet have been cut open."

"My goodness, what sort of sick son-of-a-bitch does this? He's almost eviscerated," Jane said.

"I'm not sure, but he was stabbed before he was shot, so whomever very much wanted him to suffer."

"How can you tell?" Jane asked.

"Well, there are several bruises on his hands, and arms, which show signs of a struggle. It seems like the gunshots were the last straw."

Jane always marveled in how well Maura spoke, and how good she was at her job. She also loved hearing her speak with all of that technical language. As Maura tended to the body, Jane and Frost spoke with potential witnesses, while Maura headed back to the office.

Maura was going over some files, when I very familiar knock bestowed her door.

"Come in," she yelled.

"Well, someone looks super sexy so hard at work, with some beautiful spectacles on!"

"Oh gosh Jane! You've definitely never seen me with my glasses on, I'm beyond embarrassed!"

"Embarrassed? No, there's no need for any of that. As a matter of fact, you look even sexier."

"Really?" Maura answered.

"Oh yeah. You've got that sexy librarian thing going on…super, super hot."

Jane kissed Maura passionately, and then both of them pulled away. Jane then noticed something on Maura's desk that was completely unrelated to any sort of case they were working on.

"What's that?" Jane probed.

"Oh it's nothing Jane. Have you gotten anywhere on Ainge?"

"Maura…you wouldn't be hiding something from me now, would you?"

"No Jane, and I shouldn't lie. It's a poem I've been working on…about how I feel about you. But it's not finished yet, so if you think I'm going to let you see it, then you're surely very mistaken."

"Awww Maura, you wrote something about me? How sweet!" Jane then held Maura's hand, which she loved to do.

"Well, of course," Maura was blushing, and was definitely embarrassed as Jane kissed her again. "I really love you Jane, and this has been the best relationship I've ever been in. I'm not just saying that because it's new and exciting, but you and I just really get each other. It's wonderful."

Jane kissed Maura again, and realized she needed to get back to the office. She then had another thought, regarding their plans for later.

"So what do you think about tonight?"

"Well, we'll play it by ear. If your mother becomes too unbearable, we'll just tell her. Do you think she'll really care that much?"

"Well, she won't care about me dating a woman. I mean, she's certainly questioned me before, and has dropped hints that she thought I was gay. Now, she'll get a little freaked out that it's you, but once she gets over the initial shock, I'm sure she'll be fine."

"I sure hope so," Maura answered, stealing one last kiss from Jane.
