Just Hold Me And Promise Everything Will Be Fixed:
Chapter 14:
**6 Months Later**
It had been six months since Jane had been diagnosed with depression and thanks to Maura, was feeling considerably better. She had only felt the urge to cut once and that was on a particularly bad day, which Maura had helped her through.
"Maura?" Jane smiled walking into the morgue
Maura looks up at her girlfriend "You want these results Jane?"
"Please" Jane says putting her hands into her pockets, feeling the velvet box, she fumbles with it in her hands as Maura turns to grab the manilla folder.
As she turns back her breath hitches seeing Jane on one knee "Marry me Maura"
Maura stares down at the woman, tears streaking her face
"Cara... Of course!"
Jane laughs as she lifts the crying medical examiner up, wrapping her in an embrace "I love you" she cries
"Love you too Cara.." Maura says
"I know its not all that romantic-" Jane starts and Maura cuts in
"Its perfect. You are perfect Jane"
Jane smiles "I cleared it with Cavanagh, we can go home"
"How did you manage that?"
"I have my ways.." Jane laughs kissing the younger woman again.

"Jane... That was amazing"
"I never fail to impress" Jane shoots back winking
"Don't get too cocky dear" Maura says wrapping her in an embrace
"You weren't complaining about that earlier"
"-Okay, enough innuendoes" Maura laughs
"I cant believe we are getting married.." Jane says, wonder in her voice
"You never thought about it?"
"I did. A lot. But I never expected it to actually happen, saying that I never thought you'd like me back"
Maura scoffs "How could I not?"
"I don't know.. I'm complicated."
"That you are. Thats why its so wonderful when I uncover something about you I'd never known before. You have depth dear"
Jane sighs "You always know what to say, don't you?"
"I try" Maura smiles as they fall asleep in each others embrace.

Jane is sitting in the apartment the next day when Maura had gone to pick up lunch just staring at a photo of them both together.
They had the perfect relationship.
She hears a knock on the door, expecting it to be Maura but when she answers there is no one there.
Jane looks down the hall then notices the envelope at her feet.
She picks it up and opens it, all it contains is a page with a website url on it.
Jane goes to her laptop and types in the link and a video pops up on the screen. She sees Annabel. What the fuck?
She hits play and Annabel starts to talk
'Jay! Sweetheart, congratulations on the engagement. Shame you'll never get to see her in the beautiful white dress..'
She turns the camera to Maura who is tied up, gagged and obviously in pain.
Jane drops the cup she was holding, it shattering on the wooden floor.
"Maura" she cries looking as the woman tries to free herself but fails, obviously bound too tight.
Jane grabs her cell, hands shaking "Barry.. I need you. Maura's been abducted"
