Thank you for the reviews and follows and favorites. I hope you all are well. Sending love to all of you.
Jane woke up before Maura and spent a few minutes watching her sleep and then decided she would go for a run. She got dressed and checked on Jordan who was curled up in her bed and whistled for Jo Friday to go with her. The air was brisk and Jane could see her breath in front of her. She started to run with Jo Friday keeping a steady pace beside her. As she ran she thought of all the things that had happened. Before she met Maura she was focused on maintaining her position as a top Homicide detective and advancing to higher ranks. When she met Maura she knew her life would change but had no clue how much. The more time they had spent together the less time Jane wanted to spend apart. Jo Friday looked like she was getting winded so they slowed down. Suddenly a dog darted by Jo and she took off yanking her leash out of Janes hand. Jane stepped down and her ankle twisted which caused her to collapse on the street and grimaced as the skin on her knee was scraped. She whistled for Jo Friday and was struggling to get up when a woman in her work attire assisted Jane while holding onto Jo's leash. Jane thanked her and was surprised when she said her name.
"I believe you are the famous Detective Rizzolli are you not?" Jane leaned against the car careful not to put any weight on her foot. "Uh, yeah that is me and you are?"
"Assistant D. A. Lynn Hooper, I just started last week and you are a rock star in our world. You have more closed cases than any other team and gather more evidence than expected."
Jane blushed at the compliment and looked the woman over she was about 5'11 and had long blonde hair pulled into a braid. She had blue eyes and was wearing a pencil skirt and white blouse with a blazer. She dressed a lot like Maura from what Jane could see. They shook hands and Jane tried to put weight on her foot and groaned as the pain shot up her leg. Lynn picked up Jo "I am not due to work for another two hours and I do not think you will be able to jog home so why don't you let me drive you home. Jane started to protest but realized she had forgot her phone so she agreed. Lynn took Jo Friday with her to get the car and showed up a couple of minutes later driving a Porsche. Jane whistled at the car causing Lynn to laugh.
"It was a wedding gift from my parents." Lynn said as she assisted Jane into the car. The detective looked around and admired the interior of the car. She saw a picture of Lynn with a pregnant woman, they had their arms linked and were smiling. "She is beautiful." Jane said "That is my wife." Jane choked she had to admit she was surprised to see an openly gay woman in an Assistant D.A. Position.
"Congratulations, you make a beautiful couple."
"Thanks. She is my pride and joy right there."
Jane nodded. "I understand that totally."
"Oh yes the infinite Dr. Maura Isles, you two also make a beautiful pair and are definitely leaving your mark on the world." Jane smiled at that and soon they arrived at the house, Lynn came around and put her arm around Janes waist and assisted her to the door. When they opened the door Jordan launched herself at Jane. Jane scooped her up and introduced her to Lynn and then Maura was coming down the stairs and stopped when she saw Jane standing next to the beautiful woman.
"Mrs. Rizzolli-Isles, my name is Lynn Hopper and I am the new assistant District Attorney, I just happened to come across Detective Rizzoli and her precious dog in a bit of trouble so I offered her a ride home." Jane hobbled to the couch and Maura burst into action coming across to kneel in front of her wife. She removed Janes shoe and saw that it was swollen and bruised.
"We need to get an x-ray on this, Jane."
"I'm fine, Maur. I just twisted it and it will be fine in a day or two. Say hello to Mrs. Hopper sweetheart." Maura stood up and offered her hand to the enchanting District Attorney. Maura offered her a cup of coffee which Lynn declined stating she had to head to work, and shook hands with Jane before leaving.
Maura walked her to her car while Jane sat with Jordan who was asking what happened. Jo Friday was happily running around the house not the least bit concerned that his shenanigans caused injury to his mistress. When she came back in Maura went and got some ice and placed it on Janes foot and kissed her lips lightly.
"So she is the new assistant D.A. Huh?" Jane nodded while turning on cartoons for Jordan. She had never seen cartoons before and found them fascinating. The detective pulled Maura down beside her and then placed Jordan on her lap with her little legs laying across Maura's lap. Maura leaned forward and kissed Jordans cheek and the girl immediately gave the blonde a big hug. "You need to see a doctor about your foot."
"It's nothing it will be fine in a day or two. "
"And until it is healed you are on desk duty."
"Ahhhh, Maur." Jane stopped when she saw Maura arch her eyebrow and agreed quietly.
Jordan giggled "Your silly."
"Jane, we are going to take Jordan to the police station for Halloween right? "
Jane tickled Jordan on her ribs "Are we going to the police station for Halloween squeaker?"
Jordan nodded.
"Who are you going to be for Halloween?" Jordan thought about it.
"You." Jane choked a little and Maura teared up.
"Why me?"
"Because you save people like you saved me. I want to be strong like you and smart like Maur."
Maura giggled, she loved it when the girl called her Maur, it was like a family nickname they had. Maura got up and got a bandage to wrap Jane's foot and got some organic fruit snacks for Jordan to eat. The girl was still far to skinny,
"Oh!" Jane said , startling Maura.
"Oh what, Detective?"
"Our new Suffolk County Assistant D.A has a wife. She is quiet beautiful but holds not a candle to you."
"Good answer. That is good we need more openness about same gender relationships, it is so much more than just who you are having sexual inter..."
"Ahhhemmmmmemmmmm...Lallallallallala..." Jane quickly covered Jordans ears.
"Seriously, Jane she will need to know these things."
Jane looked at her in exasperation "Not this young, she doesn't."
Maura got up and came back with crutches and Jane was about to protest and received the eyebrow which signaled that the blonde was getting frustrated so Jane reached for them and leaned them against her on the couch.
Jane pulled Maura down so both of the girls were on her lap. Just as Jordan snuggled against Maura who leaned against Jane and wrapped her arms around Jordan. Jane thought to herself this is truly how life is meant to be lived. Holding onto the people you love and spending quality time together.
"GIRLSSSSSS!" Jane groaned as the front door burst open and Angel came in carrying bags of groceries. She sat them down immediately when she saw Jane was injured. "JANE CLEMENTINE RIZZOLLI..."
"MA!" Jane said and Jordan was giggling.
"Your in trouble with grandma, Mo...Jane." Everyone stopped almost noticing the slip of the name but wanted to just let it slide by without mentioning it. They let her call them whatever she was comfortable with but immediately called Angela Grandma and Korsak was Grandpa. Jane had about died when she had heard that trivial bit of news but didn't correct her.
"What were you doing this time? Chasing a three hundred pound man into a dark alley? Dodging Bullets? Leaping over buildings in a single bound."
Jane just rolled her eyes but Maura was getting frustrated with the accusations. "She was jogging this morning and Jo Friday got loose. Jane is much more careful at her job, Angela." Maura's voice was stern and Angela apologized.
"You want to help me make Sunday dinner, Jordan?" Angela asked as she headed towards the kitchen knowing the girl would follow immediately she loved being in the kitchen and cooking with her Grandma.
