JANE'S POV

I know how I want everything to be on mine and Maura's wedding day. I know where we will be getting married. I know how I want everything to look. I know every little detail has got to be perfect for us otherwise it won't come together like I have planned it. One little thing is stopping me from doing it all though. The promise I made to Maura to take it steady from now on. There's only so much you can do over the phone before your mind starts telling you that people will be getting every single detail wrong because you're not there to correct it all. I can't ask Maura for help. I won't. I need to do this for both off us. I need this day to be perfect for us. Perfect for Maura. I know this isn't the wedding she once dreamt of having. I know she wanted her parents there, someone to give her away, guests, everything a wedding is about. And I'm asking her to drop all of that because it's not my dream. It never was. The very least I can do for Maura is make this day perfect. I will make this day perfect.

Picking up my phone I start to look through my contacts. I need someone I can trust. Someone who Maura trusts. I need someone who isn't family. The only people I can think off is Korsak and Frost. I know I can't ask either one off them. I know if I did ask them to help me plan it all, they won't be able to keep it secret from my family. And as much I love them both, I can't risk my family finding out we're getting married.

Joey. Joey already knows about me and Maura. And that we were, well might have been planning on getting married. And I know he wouldn't say anything to anyone. Plus...well he took it all extremely well when he found out about me and Maura. Yep...that seals the deal. I'm gonna ask Joey for help. This will be fun.

After finding Joey's phone number I quickly press call before I change my mind. He answers on the third ring.

After quickly finding out he is still in Boston. I ask him over to Maura's. He told me he'll be here as soon as possible. I know he's at the station so I know I've got at least twenty five minutes.

Right, phase one...completed. Phase two...get Maura out off the house for a while. Mmhhh...Not as easy.

MAURA'S POV

I've just got out off the shower when I hear Jane knocking at the bathroom door. Wrapping the towel around me I tell Jane the door is open. Slowly I watch as the door opens. Jane looks right at me before she lets her eyes drop to take in my appearance. A smile smile spreads on my face as I see her eyes grow wide and a blush appear on her neck and cheeks. When her eyes finally meet mine I can she her eyes are dilated and I can see them sparkle. She's biting her bottom lip. All are positive signs that she is aroused. I have to fight myself to keep my distance. I know if I get too close, waiting until she is healed properly will be the last thing on our minds.

"Erm...I erm...Maura, I need you to...God..." Jane stumbles over her words and I have to admit it's the cutest thing I have ever seen Jane Rizzoli do.

Jane rakes her eyes over me again before closing the door without finishing telling me what she wanted. I hear her resting her head on the door and letting out a groan. I want nothing more than to open the door and pull Jane into bed with me, but I know she is recovering. So with that in mind I quickly towel dry my hair and pull on the sweat pants and Jane's BPD t-shirt that I took into the bathroom with me.

Opening the door I glance around the bedroom in search for Jane. She's not in here. Taking a deep breath to try and calm myself down, I head in the direction off the kitchen and living room. I find her sitting at the dinning room table with her head in her hands. I can't help but feel guilty at the sight. Walking up behind her I place my hand on her shoulder and I'm shocked to hear the shaky breath she takes. "Jane?"

When Jane finally looks at me, I can see she is fighting with herself about something. I can see it in her eyes. "I can't do this much longer." Jane rasps.

"Do what?" I question.

"This." She moves her hand between us both. "I want you, Maura. And I can honestly say I don't know how long I'll be able to fight myself on this one."

"Jane...you're not ready yet." I whisper. To prove my point I lift her t-shirt up slightly and trace my finger gently over the bandage that is covering her gun shot wound. It doesn't surprise me when Jane flinches. I move my hand away from her wound so she can relax and I place it on her hip.

"Okay...so yes, I'm not ready just yet. But..." Jane closes her eyes and swallows. She continues when she opens her eyes and looks at me. "But you are." Jane lifts her hand up to my face. She runs her fingers down my cheek but doesn't stop. She holds my gaze as her fingers trace my cleavage and keep on going. I close my eyes at the touch and I know I should stop it. But Jane's right. I am ready. I feel her fingers tracing patterns on my stomach for a few minutes before coming to a rest at the tie of my sweat pants. I quickly open my eyes and lock them with Jane's. If this is going to happen I want to watch Jane. I want to see Jane's eyes.

"Maura?" Jane says in a voice I hardly recognized as her own.

I can't do anything. Its like I'm frozen in place. "I..." I stop when I feel the tug at my waist and I know straight away that Jane has just undone my tie to my sweat pants. I bring my hand up to Jane's cheek and I just watch her for a few minutes. I know she won't go any further without me telling her its okay.

Both me and Jane jump back slightly when we hear my front door bell sounding. I look at Jane and I'm just about to ask her if she was expecting anybody when she starts to look guilty.

"Shit." Jane whispers. "You need to get out off here."

I look at her confused.

"Now, Maura." Jane tells me.

"What? Why?" I ask, suddenly hating whoever was at my front door.

"I need you to go out for a few hours. Go see Ma. Go shopping. Just please don't stay in." Jane says, I can tell she doesn't want us to stop, but I also know that if she is asking me to leave her and my own home for a few hours it must be important.

"Anything to do with the wedding?" I inch closer towards Jane and wrap my arms around her neck.

"Everything to do with the wedding." She tells me before leaning closer and giving me a soft kiss. "We'll pick this up another time."

I let her go before I go and quickly change in my jeans, grabbing my coat and bag on the way out off the bedroom. "Joey?" I asked shocked.

"Hey Maura." Joey says.

I look from Jane to Joey, for either off them to give me some answers. None. I cautiously walk up to Jane and pull her in for a kiss. Mostly for my own pleasure, but also to let Joey know that Jane is unavailable.

Jane smirks when I pull away and I know that she understands why I just did that.

"I'll be with your family or at the station if you need me. And I've got my phone on me." I tell Jane. After another kiss, I say goodbye to Joey before I leave them alone.

JANE'S POV

I watch Maura leave and close the door behind her before I walk into the kitchen. "Do you want anything to drink?" I offer Joey.

Joey shakes his head. "I'm okay thank you, Jane. But you should be resting not offering to make me a drink."

I shake my head at him. "You're like Maura. Always telling me what I should and shouldn't be doing."

"Yea, and I bet you follow orders." He says.

"Well...you know its a bit hard to do anything with a gun shot wound. So I don't argue with her. Plus she knows what I can and can't do before I know." I smile.

"Sounds like everything is going good for you both."

I pick up on his jealous tone and I automatically think I've made the wrong decision. "It is."

"What am I doing here, Jane?" Joey sighs.

I look away from him. "It doesn't matter. It was a stupid idea." I mutter.

"Don't be daft, Jane. It has to be something important if you couldn't tell or ask me over the phone." Joey gives me a soft smile.

"I wanted your help planning something." Walking out off the kitchen I struggle to get to the living room. I jump slightly when Joey wraps his around my waist to help me to the couch. "Thanks." I mutter once I'm safely sat down.

"Planning what?"

"I was...It sound really daft now that I've actually thought about it a bit more." I sigh. I know he won't let me drop the subject so I might as well just tell him what I wanted his help planning. "I was going to ask you if you wouldn't mind helping me plan my wedding..." I look at him. "My wedding to Maura."

Joey gives me a questioning look.

"I can't do much and I want this day to be perfect for both me and Maura. I can only do so much from home so I need help. You're the person I narrowed it down too. I shouldn't have called you. I'm sorry."

"Don't be, Jane. Listen to me for a minute, okay?" He asks.

This time I can only nod.

"When I saw you laying in that hospital bed with Maura, I can't tell you how I felt. How jealous and angry I was. I thought it should have been me laying with you, not Maura. But as quickly as those feelings came, they went again. I knew Maura was your best friend. I knew nothing would change that, I was glad then that I knew you had someone who you trust completely." He pauses as he goes into the kitchen.

Joey hands me a cold glass of water when he comes back in and takes a large gulp of his before he continues. "It came as a shock when you told me someone had proposed to you. But when you said it was Maura...I don't know what I felt. I still don't, Jane. But I know that you're happy. Or at least you seem to be."

"I am happy, Joey." I interrupt.

"And that is all I want. You deserve to be happy. And for that reason alone you shouldn't have asked...I'll help you, Jane. But on one condition." Joey smiles.

"What's that?" I ask.

"That you don't ask me to attend the wedding. As much as I want you to be happy, even if that is not with me, I don't want to have to watch you marry someone else."

I can't help but smile. "I won't ask you Joey, but I also won't be asking anyone else. No one is invited. Its just me and Maura."

I laugh at Joey's shocked expression. "Your mother won't like that."

"I know. And I also know that she will make me and Maura renew our vows, so everyone can attend that. Are you sure you don't mind doing this. I could find someone else."

"Like who?" Joey smiles.

I shrug. "Korsak and Frost were next on my list. But then we'd have the wedding neither one off us want."

"I'll do it, Jane. What do you want me to do?"

For the next two and an half hours I tell Joey what I want to organize for our big day. Where I want it to happen. What I want everything to look like, etc. Once he knows everything I walk him to the door. "Thank you for doing this, Joey. It means a lot."

Joey nods. "I know. Take care off yourself, Jane. I'll be in touch tomorrow."

"You too, Joey. Thank you." Once I watch him climb in his car I close the door and walk back towards the couch. Sitting down I reach for my phone and hit 1 for Maura's speed dial. "Can you come home?" I ask as soon as Maura picks up.

"I'm leaving now. I won't be long." She tells me.

With that I close my phone and lay down. Closing my eyes, I can picture our wedding. I just hope it all goes to plan. If it does it will be amazing. If it doesn't well...it will be the worst day ever.
