Yay an update! Thanks for reading.
And a month later, the two here headed for Boston. And to Maura's surprise, Jane let her pay for the flight. It was new for the couple. But good. They travelled well, so far at least. Four and a half hours into their five hour flight, Maura turned to Jane, and nudged her. "Yeah?"
"Are you okay?" Maura asked curiously. " I mean, I just know that you..."
Jane smiled, as she looked up, thinking about what to say. She spoke immediately, looking at Maura. Taking her hand, she responded, "you know, i think I am alright, for now. Thank you. It will be okay."
Will? Maura nodded, and affectionately leaned her head against Jane. Well, Maura thought, at least I can be here for her.
"You know, the only reason I think I can do this is because I have you with me." Jane said. Maura enjoyed being needed, just as much as she enjoyed needing Jane, she'd learned the past few months.
"You are a strong woman. And I love you." Maura said as she prepared for the landing, as did Jane. Jane pressed her forehead to Maura's, and she felt Maura's hand on the back of her head, in her hair. And they kissed. As they kissed, emotions were exchanged. Anticipation.
After they exited the plane, and were walking to baggage it dawned on Jane that Maura would be meeting her family soon. I didn't realize how big of a deal this my poor Maura is probably nervous as hell. Jane thought. "Hey. Be yourself, babe. They'll love you."
Jane turned her head and faced a setting so familiar. Boston. She was back. And scared as hell. Scared to drive Maura away. Jane felt that Boston was a part of her, and she was glad to share that part of her, with Maura.
"JANE" The two were startled by Angela's loud words. She ran towards the two and hugged them both simultaneously.
"M-ma don't scare her" Jane said, hugging her two brothers. "Hey there little brothers. Glad to see you again."
"You too, Jane." Frankie said.
"This is Dr. Maura Isles...Chief Coroner, LAPD." Jane gestured to Maura.
"Pleasure to meet you all." She shook everyone's hand. Tommy stared at her unashamedly, which Jane was the only person to catch on to. Maura inched closer, into Jane, her way of saying, I am nervous, help me. Jane put her arm around Maura's waist, her way of saying. I'll always be here for you.
And Angela did not mention once, about the two dating. "How have you been, Janie?" She asked. Jane couldn't help but beam.
"Great, actually." Jane said. "Let's get the bags and get home, shall we?" Everyone nodded. The retrieving of the bags was a success and soon the five piled into the car. Jane drove, while Maura was in the passenger seat, while Tommy, Frankie and Angel sat in the back.
Jane kept stealing glances at Maura, who was looking around, with a smile on her face. Which made Jane smile, as well. She looked around at the place so familiar to her. She liked it. Maura was happy to see Boston, not only because it was new to her, but because it was so Jane to her. And she loved her.
Maura, admittedly felt slightly uncomfortable, but it was understandable. They arrived at the house. Frankie, Tommy and Jane took bags in as Angela and Maura lead. "So Maura. How have the few months been?"
"Fantastic, actually. In fact, I can't think of a time where I've been happier, really."
"That's wonderful to hear. You know," Angela paused, and made sure they were alone. "I didn't think Jane could come back so soon. Thank You."
Maura smiled. She was happy to be there. It was evening, and there was a night full of social interaction left ahead of them. By the time Maura and Angela got to the door, Jane was there to show Maura the room. "We'll be back."
Jane lead them to the room, which was made up nicely. "Oh Jane, your family is so lovely." Maura stated.
"Hmm. Really?"
"Yes?" Maura said. "Why would I lie about that?"
"That was me excited, Maur. Thanks for being here. For coming."
"It's no problem, honey. I love being here."
"Hah not for long wait until dinner." Maura missed the joke. "I was kidding. It will be fine. Now. Utilize anything you want, okay?"
"Yes. Thank you." Maura said, as she put her arms around Jane, and briefly kissed her. They the two went out into the kitchen/living room area.
Tommy spoke up when he saw the two, "Don't think that we didn't notice that you two are sharing a bed, Janie."
Jane slapped her brother's arm. "Tommy! Please... be respectful." Jane sighed. "Frankie pay attention we're only telling you guys once." Eyes on Jane, she looked to Maura, and the two grabbed hands.
"Jane and I are engaged in a sexual relationship." Maura casually threw in.
"Maura! Really? You had to phrase it like that? Anyway so she's my girlfriend. and I love her you guys so you can't be mean. If you are going to," Jane looked to Tommy. "Then be rude to me."
"Oh, wow." Were the reactions that her brothers gave.
"JANIE'S DATING A DOCTOR!" Angela burst out.
Tommy and Frankie turned to their mom. "You knew?"
"...yes?"
"Ma they are only surprised that I called you."
"Ha Ha." Angela remarked. "WEll I am so glad that we get to meet her. You are truly special, Maura." Angela said as she looked at Maura.
"I'm glad the two of you could visit"
