A/N: Thank you all for the kind reviews and words of encouragement after last chapter. This is a short update for you, but I promise I am writing again and much more is coming! Enjoy!

The day had been amazing. The couple was able to forget about the frustrating case and just enjoy each other's company. It helped that Jane was living out a dream of hers that she never thought would come true. Leave it to her best friend and love to make this possible for the detective. It only made the taller woman more convinced that her plan to finally give herself to Maura was the right thing to do.

Thankfully, the relaxing day at the park also proved to give the talented detective just enough time away from the case to give her a renewed perspective. When she returned to the squad room the next day, something stood out to Jane that she had missed and, quickly, the entire team was off and running chasing down leads. It took them the better part of two days but finally, after all the sleepless nights, they finally caught their perp.

The entire team was ecstatic and went out to the Dirty Robber to celebrate their victory. Jane and Maura were so exhausted that they didn't last more than one drink, Jane's eyes drooping the whole time. The doctor thought she looked so endearing, especially when the giant yawn showed the dimples she adored. Taking pity on her love, Maura made their excuses and took her detective home.

Jane went willingly, glad to have her doctor taking care of her. This was one of the things the detective loved about Maura, her caring and nurturing nature, especially where Jane was concerned. If she was more awake, the detective would put her plan into effect tonight but she just didn't have it in her. Tonight, naked snuggling. Tomorrow, Jane would finally show Maura just how much she loved and trusted her.

R&I

Maura awoke the next day later than usual, the captain having given the team a needed day off after the long and brutal case they had just worked. The ME could have taken time off regardless, the captain not really being her boss, but she preferred to work the same schedule as Jane when she could.

As the doctor stretched out, her hand hit cool sheets. This startled Maura out of her sleepy state and she turned to look with blurry eyes to see that she was alone in bed. Her heart sank a bit until she saw the rose on the pillow next to her with a note attached. Rubbing her eyes to clear them of what was left of her sleep, Maura pulled the rose to her, sniffing the aromatic, sweet flower before unfolding the note to read where her love had gone.

To the loveliest doctor that I ever did know,

I know you're probably pouting right now at finding me not by your side, being your heating blanket, but I promise, it'll be worth it.

You always take such good care of me and I wanted to finally return the favor. So, prepare for the day of your life, Doctor Isles.

First stop: bathroom.

Love,

Your incredibly lucky and undeserving detective

Maura felt her eyes getting watery. How could her detective continuously surprise her like this? Jane could be so romantic and it never ceased to affect the doctor immensely.

After taking a few moments to savor the scent of the rose and rereading the note again, Maura finally left the comfort of her bed and made her way to the bathroom. When she entered the en suite, the doctor was met with the rest of the dozen roses set up in front of another message, this one written on the mirror.

Maura stepped up and realized that the heart drawn on the reflecting surface perfectly framed her face. Her cheeks flushed as she read the message.

This is the most beautiful woman in the world and not just because of the face that would make angels cry but because of the soul that is held within. The purest, loving soul that anyone would be honored to possess.

The doctor was now fully crying. Jane sure was turning up the heat on her wooing. If Maura had thought the gesture at the Commons was a big deal, her detective was proving to her that it was just the tip of the iceberg.

Once Maura collected herself, she saw that there was an envelope sitting innocently against her toiletries on the counter. Wiping her tears away, the smaller woman reached for the note and saw a ticket inside. Confused, she extracted the piece of paper and gasped. This was not any ticket! No, it was a ticket to see Carmen at the Boston Symphony hall with Ana María Martínez, one of the current premier sopranos in the world!

The doctor was stunned. How had Jane known she wanted to go see the performance, let alone get tickets? Her heart was soaring past the stratosphere now and Maura did not care one bit that she knew, intellectually, that that wasn't possible. Jane Rizzoli had her believing in the unimaginable right in this moment.

Wanting to see her detective immediately so that she could shower her with kisses and many other things that her mouth could do, the ME skipped back into her bedroom so that she could collect her phone and find her missing lover.

Upon entering her bedroom, the doctor was surprised to see that her phone was not in its usual spot on her bedside table. Thinking she had been careless with it the night before, given how exhausted they were, Maura headed downstairs, after checking her vanity and armour to no avail.

The doctor audibly gasped upon seeing what her kitchen island held. Laid out were all her favorite breakfast foods, beautifully plated with flowers that complemented each dish perfectly. Maura couldn't stop the tears that slid down her face even if she wanted to. Moving forward as if in a trance, the doctor approached the island to see yet another hand written note.

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist looking for me or your phone so I lured you down here for breakfast. Eat up, love, you are going to need your strength for later. ;-)

Love,

Your sometimes clever detective

P.S. Your phone is on the table by the front door. However, if I hear from you before you have eaten, showered, and dressed, I will be very unhappy. And doctor, I promise you that you want to keep me happy today because I plan to make you the happiest you've ever been if you just play along for a little longer. :-)

Maura chuckled out loud at Jane's postscript. Her detective knew her so well, as the impatient doctor had already been inching over to the table that held her phone. Stopping herself in her tracks, she resolved to at least eat before she went for her phone.

After moments of sinful and delicious vittles, the doctor was almost satiated. The only thing missing was her detective, and so, after placing the plates in the dishwasher, Maura made her way to the front door to retrieve her phone. When she arrived she saw another note, and barked out a laugh.

Soooo naughty. I knew you couldn't resist so I made sure to drain the battery. ;-) Go shower and get dressed while you charge your phone, love! I love you!

-J

Maura shook her head as she plugged her phone in and did as her detective requested. If this was the way the day was going to go, the doctor was all in, just like she always was when it came to Jane.

R&I

After she was showered and dressed, once again finding a note in her closet suggesting an outfit for the day that made her smile a full dimpled smile, Maura went back downstairs to her now charged phone. Once she unlocked the phone, the doctor saw a text from Jane that simply had a GPS location and said see you soon. Maura touched the coordinates and her map app opened and plot her drive to the destination. All too eager to finally be reunited with her romantic detective, Maura collected her purse, briefly making sure that her ticket for the evening's performance was inside, and keys and flew out the door to her Mercedes.

After several turns, she realized where she was being directed and the doctor felt nothing but confusion. She pulled up at the curb of the Berklee Performance Center, the performance space that belonged to the Berklee College of Music, an elite performing arts school. Maura couldn't imagine what Jane was doing here but, at this point, all the doctor cared about was being in her detective's arms, showering her with kisses of gratitude for all the wooing she had already done this morning.

Parking her car, the doctor made her way to the front door of the center and was met by a security guard. He looked at her appreciatively, his eyes perusing her figure with lust-filled eyes before he seemed to catch himself. When Maura was close enough, he cleared his throat and bowed his head a bit before addressing her.

"You must be Doctor Isles. The detective wasn't exaggerating when she said to be on the lookout for a supermodel crossed with an angel. Pardon my forwardness, I was also warned that if you took any offense to me, I would spend at least one night in jail." The uneasy man looked at her sheepishly while he held the door open for her to enter the performance center.

Maura stood stock still as she processed all the information she had just been given before a sly smirk settled on her full lips.

"I would not want you to be subjected to a BPD cell just for having great taste," the doctor said playfully, adding a wink as she passed by him. "But, I would suggest you do not stare at me walking away, if you know what is good for you," she tossed over her shoulder when she felt his eyes following her.

The door abruptly slammed shut and Maura couldn't help the giggle that escaped at the interaction. She generally didn't care for the reaction that certain men had toward her but knowing that her detective had described her in such a way that the security guard was overcome, it did make the doctor feel pretty good.

Maura didn't have time to reflect on the encounter because suddenly her ears were filled with the most beautiful sound. As if a snake following the sound of a charmer, the doctor unconsciously began to move toward where the piano was emanating from. She had just made her way through the double doors of the performance space when she gasped out loud for the second time that morning. On the stage, in a tuxedo no less, playing the piano like a prodigy was none other than Detective Jane Rizzoli.

A/N: Hold on to your socks folks, Jane Rizzoli has gone head first into wooing her doctor! Next chapter, things really heat up! ;-)

On a personal note, I really do appreciate your kind words. It has been a rough month and to read your comments while I have been recovering has really helped me get through things. I had surgery last week which stalled my recovery a bit, but I am on the mend now, and as you can see, writing some (I hope you agree) good stuff.
