Hello Everyone!

My, has it been long since my last update. It turns out that I have bitten off more than I can chew.

So I ended up with no time to really write FanFic.

Sorry.

BUT

I do have an update, so here you go!

The next morning freaked both Jane and Maura out, because it all seemed extremely comfortable. Waking up in the same bed, it was admitantly nerve wracking of a huge step. But on the other hand, it was the first time in a long time that either was happy. There was a smile on Jane's face as she cooked breakfast for her and Maura. Maura remembered exactly what it was like waking up at Jane's place, and she remembered how it was the one thing she really had missed by leaving Boston.

A few mimutes Maura came out of Jane's room, dressed for the day. Only to see Jane had pulled on a random pair of pajama pants. "Jane, I thought you would be dressed by now." Maura stated.

"Maur, You were in my room when I left, and came in here. Where could I possibly have changed into clothes?" Jane stated, humorously.

"I was't paying attention when you left" Maura said.

"Oh" Jane said as she handed Maura a plate of food. "Anyway, I will go get dressed real quick then I will come out here and eat with you."

Maura nodded ans Jane left towards her room. As she sat and waited, Maura noticed a picture attached to Jane's fridge that she hadn't noticed before. It was of them togther at Rockafeller center. How sweet, she thought. And then Jane came back in.

"Hey there." She said, as she walked over and took a seat next to Maura. "Ready to eat?" Maura nodded, and then the two ate there in silence. Only, this time they had plenty to talk about, it was only silent because of the mutual pet peeve of eating and talking simultaneously.

In the car, Jane sensed Maura's nervousness. How could she not be? She was going back to the place that she had abandoned a year before. It scared her because she was never able to read what other people were thinking like Jane could.

"It's alright, Maur. They'll be happy to see you. I know it." Jane conforted her.

"But-" They had to deal with you, all broken. "What if they don't accept it?" Maura asked.

"We don't have to tell them, if you don't want." Jane stated, inavertantly planting a seed of insecurity in her girlfriend. She soon realized what she did do, however and attempted to mend it. "but I am not afraid or ashamed of you. The only thing I am scared of is losing you."

Maura then smiled at her and squeezed her hand tighter. "I'm sorry. I just get nervous sometimes. Which I suppose is understandable- but still."

"You are a very lovable person," Jane stated. She pulled into a parking spot, right in front of the BPD. She looked into Maura's nervous eyes lovingly. "Ready to go, love?" Maura nodded. Jane got out of the car, as did Maura and the two walked side by side, closer and closer to the doors.

Freaked out, again. Both of them were reminded of what it was like, and how much it changed. All of the new faces that Maura saw, paid no regard to her and Jane, but all of the recognizable ones, stared in disbelef. It was surprising to them that Jane did not look angry, as well as seeing the old ME back.

It really hit her how much she left behind besides Jane when she stuck a 'Visitor' sticker to her blazer. Maura was a mess of disassembled nerves and the only thing keeping them from spilling over was Jane, standing right next to her. They were both nervous, that was an understatment.

It was all old faces that Maura saw when the two walked in, and when they walked towards the desks of Frost, Korsak and Jane, there were no words. Even when the two stood right in front of her partner and ex-partner there was nothing.

"This is when you guys say 'Hey Maura, It's good to see you again'" Jane said, breaking the silence.

He was indeed befuddled, but he also missed Boston's old ME. "It a pleasure to see you again, doc. I didn't think I'd ever meet you like this, but it's still nice to see you." Frost hugged Maura, who taken aback returned the hug. During the hug, he peered at Jane, mouthing What is happening?

"Maura is back. But only for a bit this time- A few weeks." Jane responded. The hug ended and Korsak did the same. The men were just all so confused by the two women in front of them. It had been a long time since they'd seen Maura, and they couldn't get over the fact that Jane wasnt angry with her anymore. But in the end, they saw Jane and Maura were both happy, and that is what mattered to them, both professionaly and personally.

"It's nice to see you again, Dective Korsak, and Frost." Maura said. "Jane and I-" She wrapped her arms around Jane, who didn't resist- she wasn't technically working- "are on taking terms again"

"So that's where you've been going..." Korsak figured, a lot of things finally making sense.

Jane turned to Maura, "I wanted to keep it between us." Maura nodded, still regarding the fact and aftermath of her actions.

"It?" Frost asked. Jane gazed fondly at Maura, and he understood, as did Korsak. Both Korsak and Frost trusted Jane, and her judgment. They couldn't be angry, especially when jane wasn't either.

"Yeah, us." Jane said. "But please dont' go parading ths around."

"That would be appreciated." Maura added.

"Goes without saying." Frost responded. Although they were close, Frost wondered what was happening, and knew they'd talk about it sometime. Talk about how they were never told what really happened- and what was still going on.

"Thanks, Frost." Jane said. She let out a breath. "Sure is weird to have Maur back in here, isn't it?"

Everyone agreed. Then they remembered the other people in the bull pen, when Jane glared at them all, they all went back to doing, whatever they were doing.

"I am sorry to bother you all." Maura said to Korsak and Frost, but directed towards everyone in the room.

"No need to appoligize, Dr. Isles. You are always welcome here." Korsak said, not sure if he had overstepped a boundary.

"I'd never bring you a place you aren't welcome." Jane stumbled. "No... erm. I meant that wherever I am welcome you are.." Jane awkeardlt stuttered. "Agh I just mean that-"

Maura cut Jane off with a laugh. "I get it. Thank you." She turned to Korsak and Frost, "Thank you both. It means a lot to me that you can forgive me." Maura stated.

"It's nothing, doc." Korsak.

"Yeah, no problem at all." Frost said, getting up to hug Maura once again- the three of them had grown exceptionally close before Maura left. During the hug, Jane mouthed Thank You to him and he understood.

It was a lot for them all to take in, but for Maura, they were all able to smooth it out. For Jane. She really wanted it to go well, and it did. They weren't lying. They were all acting like Jane didnt lose all fo her funstion for 4 months, a long time for Jane, or almost lose her job. It was a given that they would go with it.

Maura was happy. She was excited that it was all working out better than she had planned it in her head. It was evidence to her that maybe, just maybe, things could go back. She could come back. At that point in time, the thought of the possibility thrilled her.

"It'd good to see you guys again." Maura said, nodding to both men, who gestured back.

"I'll see you guys later." Jane smiled and waved.

"See ya' Partner." Frost waved back and Korsak nodded. The two women walked out of the bull pen, at ease. Jane also recognized the possibily of 'having Maura back' but even further, she didn't know if she even wanted it back. It was something new, and she wanted to embrace it. Hell, she'd even go to New York for the next few months, to make it work for Maura. Anyhing was a possibility at that point, and that is what mattered in the moment. Hand in hand, the two headed for the cafe.

Thank you for reading, and bearing (baring?) with me until here.

Reviews are appreciated,

Until next time, Hannah.
