JANE'S POV
Where has the time went?! It seems like just yesterday, that Maura and I had finally come to realise our love for one another. Walks in the park, going on dates, doing spontaneous weekends out of the city, or just lounging on the couch or bed...
It took us some time to get our schedules sorted out, so we could spend time together after our official 'coming-out' to everyone. Ma was thrilled as well as Maura's mothers, Constance and Hope. Frankie said that he knew it all along and piqued Korsak about it. Nina and Kent was suspicious but didn't let on, fear of they may have stepped on some toes. Amused, Maura and I couldn't help but chuckled at their confession though...it shows of their respect for our privacy, thank you!
I'm standing here watching my wife, socializing with family members, friends, and colleagues. I love seeing her happy, after the near panic of organizing our fifteenth year wedding anniversary...with the caterers, the building space, the decorations, and our gifts to each other. I just told her to just relax, let Ma and her Mother fuss over that, let's just make sure that we have our gifts for one another. I've got Maura and myself, matching rings. They are actually the Vittora style rings, with crystal all around them. I'm hoping that she likes it, I'm sure whatever Maura has for me...I know that I'll love it.
MAURA'S POV
Being in panic mode, is not my idea of organizing our fifteenth wedding anniversary for Jane and I! To say the least, I'm much more calmer now as everything seems to be coming together, with the help from our Mothers. I'm truly happy with our lives together! Jane has been everything that I've imagine in a partner. I can't help but wink my eye at her as I see her watching me from across the room. Mmm, what she does to me...'FOCUS'!
I check with our guests, making sure anything and everyone is being accommodated. As I'm doing so, I slip away for a little privacy and noise reduction, checking up on our kids...Nathan and Natalie, with the Sitter. After speaking with them, and making sure that they go to bed on time, I let Tori know that their grandmothers will be there shortly.
Before I came back to the party, I'm making sure that I have Jane's gift. It's a Crystal Red Rose with Crystal petals...I sure hopes she likes it. Anyway, back to the event and to my love...where I last saw her at the Bar, now leaving the restroom. As I'm approaching her, our wedding song starts to play softly...and we're both staring at each other.
R&I
(MUSIC PLAYS SOFTLY)
There's something that I want to say
But words sometimes get in the way
I just want to show
My feelings for you
There's nothing that I'd rather do
Than spend every moment with you
I guess you should know
I love you so
You are my lady
You're everything I need and more
You are my lady
You're all I'm living for
There's no way that I can resist
Your precious kiss
Girl, you've got me
So hypnotized
Just say that you'll stay with me
Cause our love was meant to be
I promise to love you
More each day
You are my lady, my love
You're everything I need and more
You are my lady
You're all I'm living for
You are my lady, my love
You're everything I need and more
You are my lady
You're all I'm living for
I love your shine, shine, shine
Let's make it last until the end of time
You are my lady, my love
You're everything I need and more
You are my lady
You're all I'm living for
R&I
"Maura, honey...I love you so much" Jane's whispers in Maura's ear before they slowly kiss, while they slow dance. With the music playing softly in the background, everyone watches the lovely couple slowly swaying in each other's arms. The aww's and oh's are heard from a distance to Jane and Maura, because right now they have zoned out everyone in the room and just focusing on one another.
"Oh, don't they look lovely together" Hope mentions to Angela and Constance as their sitting at the table.
"Yes, indeed" Constance replies with a nod and smile.
"They are simple gorgeous together, it looks as if they were marrying again" expressed Angela.
Jane is dressed in a cream-colored tuxedo pant suit with matching heel pumps, while Maura is wearing a knee-length, long sleeve cream-laced dress with the backout along with ankle-strapped heel pumps. They were a vision to behold on the dance floor.
"I can't wait to unclothed you out of that dress" Jane whispered seductively.
"Mmm, I can't wait neither" Maura softly spoken into Jane's ear.
After about five minutes in, the crowd soon joined the couple on the dance floor as well. Everyone were enjoying themselves as the evening got underway. Some upbeats dance tunes were played, some slow tunes, and a hint of latin music was heard throughout the rest of the night! It truly was a night for them to remember.
Before Jane and Maura left the party to continue their evening, Angela, Hope, and Constance approached them.
"Jane, Maura"... Angela spoke "We're heading home to relieve Tori, so we can get back to our grandbabies".
"Okay Ma-Angela, Constance-Mother" Jane and Maura knowledged. "Hope, We like to thank you for coming and helping out with all of this".
"Oh darling, it's no problem and I am glad that you and Jane included me" as Hope smiled and hugged Maura and Jane.
As the ladies hugged and kissed Jane and Maura, Constance spoke to Maura "Maura darling, don't forget our early brunch Monday alright"?!
"I won't Mother, talk to you soon" smiled Maura as she kissed her mother on the cheek.
After the three ladies left, Jane beamed with pride "I am the most luckiest woman in the world right now!" "My beautiful wife, my beautiful kids, and our extended family!"
Instead of answering Jane back, Maura turned around into Jane's arms and kissed softly yet deeply into her mouth.
"Hmm, yes...are you ready to go"?! Jane says.
"So, so ready sweetheart" Maura replied.
"How were our little munchkins, are they behaving themselves"? Jane added while walking with Maura.
"Yes, I spoke with them earlier before we went on the dance floor" "I'm grateful to Angela and my mother, to watch them for us until mid-morning tomorrow" Maura expressed.
"Good, let's say goodnight to our guest...shall we"?! Jane proposed.
"Yes" says Maura.
The evening was still young with Jane and Maura wanted to celebrate their love and exchanged their gifts to one another.
They personally hugged and kissed Korsak, Nina, Kent, and Frankie as their other guests were acquaintances and colleagues from BPD. They also thanked everyone, with a toast for coming and helping them to celebrate their anniversary and to stay and finish enjoying the party. Everyone cheered and congratulated them as Jane and Maura exit to leave.
R&I
After Angela and Constance called to let Jane and Maura know that they are with the children now and that they're asleep, Maura and Jane settled in bed, naked above the sheets...enjoying pure, raw, and unadulterated love-making.
"Ah, you make me so happy" "These past years and years to come, spending it with you makes me the most blessed woman ever...I love you, Maura" Jane sweetly expressed to Maura.
Her palm settling on Jane's face, "Mmm...my love, my heart's desire, you will always be the love of my life forever" Maura softly spoke "I love you forever more, Jane". Soft kisses were exchanged along with holding one another.
Before their late night evening came to rest, the ladies exchanged their gifts to each other. The look on both of their faces expressed the amount of care, time, dedication, and love as the ladies were shimmering in tears. Jane placed one of the matching rings on Maura wedding finger while Maura placed the identical one on Jane's wedding finger. Maura revealed to Jane the Crystal Red Rose with Crystal petals.
"You, Maura Isles-Rizzoli is my forever more and I'm grateful to have you in my life...happy anniversary, sweetheart" Jane spoken softly to Maura before kissing her on the lips.
"And you, Jane Rizzoli-Isles is my forever more and in which I am truly happy since our first encounter...happy anniversary my love" Maura whispered before kissing her wife passionately. They held each other in a tight embrace while again kissing passionately, on into the night...
"Nana, Grandmother" shouted the twins as they ran in the hallway, downstairs to the kitchen...where Angela and Constance were having coffee and preparing breakfast for them.
"Oh my darlings" "My babies" greeted Constance and Angela. The two five year olds came bustling as their grandmothers reached for them. Hugging and kissing their chubby cheeks, the grandmothers couldn't be any happier! Both of the children were similar to Jane in every way except for their eyes, with that dark curled unruly hair and slim build. As for their eyes, golden-hazel eyes like Maura and their personalities, Nathan acted more like Jane as well as Natalie acted more like Maura.
"Are we having pancakes and bacon"?! Nathan questioned excitement.
"Why, yes we are along with some scrambled eggs, mixed fruit yogurt, and milk" Angela announced.
"Yuck, yogurt Nana, could I have some fruit-loops instead?!" denounced Nathan.
"Yeah thank you Nana, Grandmother" Natalie says excitedly, who loved the breakfast selection.
"No, young man" "Besides, your sister will tell on you for having them" whispered Constance with a chuckled.
"Can we watch a Disney movie after breakfast?!" Nathan addressed.
"You two certainly may, Nathan" Angela nodded.
After the kids finished with their breakfast, they headed towards the sofa, getting their beanbag pillows out to sit on them. They're very clever little kids and once they stopped their little disagreement with each other, they both decided on watching 'Disney's Cars'. While Angela and Constance watched their grandkids looking at television, Jane and Maura walked in.
"We're home" shouted Jane.
Before Angela and Constance could say anything, the kids jumped from the sofa running towards their parents. Constance and Angela just had to admire and laugh at the action.
"Mama" "Mommy" shouted the kids. They rushed into Jane's arms as she took a hold of them in her arms with hugs and kisses.
"Hello, my little munchkins" "Oh I'm so happy to see you two" Jane excitedly replied.
"Hello, mommy's love-bugs" "We're you two good for Nana and Grandmother"?! questioned Maura as she hugged and kissed her babies.
"Yes, Mom" both twins said in unison, with a slight eye roll. The adults chuckled at the kids actions.
"Again, thanks Angela, Mother for watching them for us" replied Maura.
" Yeah, thanks Ma...Constance" Jane expressed.
"Anytime, both of you know that" says Angela.
"It was no problem, I assure you" spoke Constance.
After the breakfast was finished and the kitchen up, Angela and Constance left heading back to the guesthouse.
Later on though, all of the family would be over for Sunday dinner and Constance had an early flight the following Monday.
R&I
"Maura darling, I've made a decision to stay in the States permanently" "And since I'm getting up in age, I know that I need to be around my grandchildren more" Constance spoken.
To Maura's surprise, she was expected that her mother would be staying in the States near her and her family. After all, it would give her children and her mother a closer bond than they've had in the past.
"Mother, I am thrilled of this news" "Are you staying here in Boston"?! Maura replied.
"Yes I am" "I should be back here within the next two weeks, to sort out my business affairs in Europe" Constance stated. "In the meantime though, I'll be making arrangements with the Isles Foundation upon my stay and have them managed the overseas affairs as I see fit".
"Okay Mother, I'll help in any way I can for the transition" Maura replied.
"Thank you, sweetheart" Constance took a sip of her tea.
When Maura got back from seeing her Mother at the airport...Jane, Angela, and the kids were in the family room watching television.
"Mommy" shouted the kids as they ran towards her.
"I'm back everyone" Maura says as she kisses her children.
"Hey sweetie" Angela says.
"Hi babe" Jane greets "Did you and Constance have a pleasant brunch"?!
As the kids ran back to watch television, Maura sat next to her wife...giving each other another kiss.
"Everything is going to be okay" "My mother announced that she will be moving here to the States permanently and living here in Boston" Maura expressed.
"That's great...right"?! Jane questioned Maura.
"Why yes Jane" "She can now be able to spend time with her grandkids and with me" Maura says. Jane gives her a hug for support of this news.
"I'm so happy for you, honey" "And the kids are going to love it" Jane expressed excitement.
"Oh Maura, that is great news" Angela replies. "Now I'll have a even better friendship and support from Constance".
As Jane and Maura giggled at Angela's statement, the twins jumped into their parent's arms.
"Ah, whoa there little man" Jane says kissing his forehead and her daughter's who is sitting on Maura's lap.
"Did you say that grandmother is going to be with us soon"?! Nathan and Natalie questioned.
"Yes, sweetheart" "And I couldn't be anymore happier" Maura smiled while kissing her babies.
"Awe you two, I just love your love for each other" Angela says while watching her family. After all, family is where the heart is, with the love, warmth, and comfort...who could ask for anything more.
