Fuck it hurts Jane thought as she opened her eyes. Seeing her family plus Maura surrounding her. "Fuck" she mumbled.
"I'll let that one pass Jane" Maura said.
"Really? Only you Maura...God my leg hurts and my head"
"Yeah well when you decided to practically tackle Emmy like a linebacker you hit your head pretty hard when you landed" Frankie teased and burst out laughing as he saw Jane's middle finger come up in his direction.
"Wheres Em is she okay?" Jane asked as she tried to get up but her leg gave out from the sudden pressured.
"Your leg got clipped by the car too. Doc here said you might need to get it checked out...we told her you hate the hospital" Tommy said.
"You really should let me take you to the hospital and get it checked out"
"Nope! No hospital I'll pop so pain relievers and ice it but I'm not going to the hospital"
"Jane why do you have to be a pain in everyone's ass?"
"Umm because your my mom?" Jane joked. "Seriously though where is Emmy? Is she okay?"
"She...she's okay Jane" Angela answered noticing how the doctor became emotional at the thought of her daughter.
"Where is she?" jane asked looking around not being able to find her.
"Shes waiting in the car with TJ. Shes got some scraps and bruises but nothing horrible. She got scared when she noticed you were out of it for a bit and we got her to the car and had TJ stay with her."
Jane let go of the breath she hadn't realize she was holding and looked at Maura. She hadn't spoken once the subject turned to her daughter.
"Maur, you okay? I'm sorry I tried to get to her as quick as I could I'm sorry that she's hurt" Jane couldn't stand the thought of the what ifs that crossed her head with the thought of what would have happened if she didn't get to the younger girl.
Before she could say anything Maura practically threw herself into Jane hugging her and crying.
"Hey hey don't cry"
"I can't help it. Thank you Jane. If it wasn't for you I'm certain this situation would be a lot different"
Jane met her mothers eyes and for once in her life her mother understood and lead the boys towards the kids to give Jane and Maura their privacy.
"Maura hey please look at me." she waited till the doctor met her eyes, she couldn't help the urge she felt to keep holding the other woman tighter as she saw the hurt and sadness in her eyes.
"Shes okay. Shes going to be fine okay."
"Thanks to you she is. I could never repay you for saving her. She was also very uneasy when you were out Jane. You scared us all."
"Yeah well I was just trying to get to her as quickly as possible."
"Thank you" Maura said as she once again hugged the detective. She quickly let go when she heard Jane wince in pain.
"I'm sorry. You really should get if checked out
"No thanks. Is it broken"
"Wel it doesnt seem like it but you need a proper xray"
"well there you go. I'm okay. Just some rest. Plus my head kills."
"How about a compromise?"
"Such as?" jane asked ,skeptically.
"I wont take you to the doctors or hospital.." Maura started, noticing jane smiling she continued. "But you have to stay at my house and let me make sure you are okay at least for tonight. With your head injury it's possible that you suffered a concussion and I'd like to make sure you are okay"
Jane chewed on her bottom lip as she looked at Maura thinking the proposition over.
"Fine...but I get to kick what to watch tonight. I'm tired of so many documentaries" Maura rolled her eyes at Jane's words and began.getting up pulling the detective up with her and making her way to her the family.
They all still kept their dinner plans and met up at Maura's house. Jane was pleasantly surprised by how her brothers and mother had been throughout dinner at Mauras. She expected to have to separate fights between her brothers or even be embarrassed by her mother. She wanted to help Maura with dinner but was not only met with one but two death stares.
"Jane you agreed to rest" Maura said.
"Well I agreed to come here so that you wouldn't drag me to the hospital"
"Janie listen to the doc." her mother chimed in causing Jane to roll her eyes and join the kids in the living room.
"Was she always this stubborn?"
"Oh sweetie you have not see anything yet. She's so hard headed it's unbelievable"
"if you dont mind me asking wheres Emmy's dad?"
"Well that's a long story. Truth is he left her life for good when he found out i was dating someone else after we had been separated"
"That's terrible I'm sorry that you had to bring Emmy up all on your own. Truth is my husband left too not long ago. They may not talk about it but I know it hurts them that he could just leave like that after all these years." angela said as she watched her kids talk and joke around as she had done multiple times before throughout their lives.
"I grew a beard here waiting for dinner ladies!" Jane said from the living room not bothering to turn and look at their faces. "Oww what the" she yelled out turning around saying both her mother and maura in the kitchen smirking.
Once dinner was done and ate everyone stayed for a little longer and then headed home. Maura showed Jane the guestroom shes ne staying at and told her she'd be in periodically to check up on her.
"I'm sorry about today" Maura heard the voice behind her as she stood in front of her sliding doors looking out to her yard.
"Jane I already told you, you have nothing to be sorry about please stop apologizing. Come let me check your head" Maura said as she tried to lead Jane towards the couch but Jane refused.
"Maura it's fine. I wanna know how you're doing please don't pretend like you're fine. I'm a detective I can read people"
"I just..I was..was really scared for a moment. For just a split second after the car drove off and I saw you guys on the ground..I feared that..that.." she couldn't contain her emotions anymore and let the tears flow freely.
"Its okay Maur. We are both fine. I'm a little sore and all but I'll be good. Emmy is fine upstairs maybe a little traumatized but she's okay."
Jane hated seeing the blonde cry it broke her heart just to see this side of her. She held her a few minutes until Maura had relaxed and stopped crying. "Thank you Jane" Maura whispered, she almost felt embarrassed because she'd never broken down like that before with anyone besides Grayson but she knew Jane wouldn't judge her and she felt safe with the detective not just physically but emotionally as well.
"What do you mean you missed?"
"I tried but that cop you told me.about got in the way and pushed out of the way. I'm pretty sure I fucked up her leg or something. Don't worry I have a guy posted up outside the nice docs house watching her still." the man said.
"Just stay put"
"Whatever, dont worry we'll get a chance again soon."
"Yeah okay. Till the cop comes and beats your ass"
"Good morning Jane" Maura said as she made her way down the stairs finding Jane sitting on her couch dressed for the day resting her head with her eyes closed.
"Morning" the detective mumbled and groaned at the same time.
"You really should stay at home and rest at least for today due to your possible concussion", she said while examining Jane's head.
"Nah I'm going to work just got a headache"
"Well hows your leg?"
"m'okay I guess. Got a nice bruise but can put way too much pressure its still a bit swollen but I can walk on it at least" she then got up and showed Maura that she could walk even though it was more of a limp.
"Alright I know I can force you to stay home from work but promise you'll come to my office so that I can check you out"
"Well Dr. Isles that's pretty straight forward..you trying to check me out? Like what you see?" jane joked.
"Well you should know my friend that you are beautiful"
"Thanks...alright well I dont have my car so I'll go in with you today" Jane wasnt expecting for mauras type of response so she did the best she could to change the subject and was grateful when Maura didnt question it.
"Yes of course. I'll drop Emmy off and then we can go to the station"
"Hey Janie you alright? Frankie told us what happened" both Frost and Korsak asked as she walked in the bullpen.
"Yeah just a bit sore and my leg hurts a bit ti walk on it"
"Okay well anything you need let me know Janie" the older detective said as she made his way to his desk.
"Frost can you come to BRIC with me really quick."
He nodded and followed her to the other room. He watched her double check that people weren't listening.
"Its the same car Frost. The same one outside of their house."
"Jane we have to tell Maura especially now that they tried to hurt them"
"I know Frost. I'll tell her today. God forbid something actually does happen….by the way I do have something for you."
"what's up?"
"The rest of that plate number"
