Maura stood at the mirror, taking in her reflection, viewing her bridal gown of white satin, intricately trimmed within tiny diamonds in addition to white lace. A very simple dress, but elegant never the less. Some of her hair was pinned above her head, held in place by a small diamond clip while the rest hung down in curls. Her hand reached up to the necklace around her neck, running her fingers across the diamonds; it was the one Jane had given her.

In less than one hour she would have to watch Jane say I do and the thought was killing her. She could still feel Jane's hands roaming over body from the night before. She could still hear her admit she loved her. Sighing deeply, she closed her eyes upset at the fact she put Jane in the exact same position she was in 3 years ago. She wondered would Jane tell Parker. That morning she didn't bother waiting for Jane to wake up. She put on one of Jane's shirts and a pair of her shorts to wear back to her room and cried softly to herself as she quietly gathered her clothes off the floor and slipped back into her room. She couldn't face the regretful look Jane surely would have given her.

"Knock Knock. Hello Maura" she turned around to see Angela coming into the room, closing the door quietly behind her. She walked over to Maura.

"You look stunning, although I liked your wedding dress better." She said adjusting the diamond necklace that had become crooked around her neck. Maura laughed lightly as Angela grabbed her hand.

"You know that this is your last chance?" She asked looking up at the doctor seriously. Maura shook her head, choosing to pretend as if she didn't know what it was that Angela was referring to. Angela really liked Parker and would welcome her into the family with open arms if Jane went through with the wedding but she knew Jane well enough to know that she loved Maura more.

"The day I stood here with you and helped you put on your wedding dress, you were crying, why?" Maura reached up, wiping away a tear, not wanting to ruin her makeup.

"Because I didn't plan on walking down the aisle. I was going to tell Jane what happened as soon as you left."

"But you chose not hurting her over telling the truth."

Maura looked at Angela,

She finally understands.

Angela leaned over and gave Maura a light kiss on the cheek,

"This is your last chance." and with that she left Maura to ponder on everything that she had told her. This was her last chance but Maura realized that with everything that has happened in the past few days she can't stop the wedding. It would be extremely selfish of her to even think of it as a possibility. She walked over to the vanity mirror and took one last look at her hair before walking over to the door. She exhaled deeply,

I can do this.

She opened the door and there stood Jane with her hand up to knock. She had on her wedding dress and the sight left Maura speechless. Jane was truly a beautiful woman and Parker was lucky she would have her as her wife.

"Jane."

"Maura." The two looked at each other, taking in the sights before them. Seeing Maura in her dress brought a nostalgic feeling to Jane's heart. Although she thought Maura was always beautiful, seeing her in such a simple gown highlighted her beauty because there weren't any fancy clothes to distract the eye.

"You look beautiful." Jane breathed. Maura blushed slightly, looking away from the detective's wondering eyes.

"So do you. I'm sure you'll glow as you walk down the aisle."

Jane timidly took Maura's hand and led her back into the room, closing the door behind them. They both took a seat on the couch stationed in the corner of the room.

"I just wanted to thank you for last night; I had a lot of fun…well at least what I could remember."

Maura's eyes widened, "You don't remember last night."

"Well not all of it. I'm kinda blanking out on what happened after we left the club. That's what I came here to talk to you about because it's all kind of fuzzy. Did anything happen that I should know about?"

"Maura—I Love you." Maura stiffened as Jane wrapped an arm protectively around her pulling the blonde closer so that they were spooning. Maura allowed the detective to hold her knowing it was very innocent compared to what they had just done.

"Jane, just…just go to sleep." Jane was silent and Maura sighed figuring that she had finally gone to sleep.

"Don't you love me too?" Jane asked, and she sounded somewhat sad, as if she was going to cry.

"Jane, I love you, I really do…now just go to sleep." 'You're wedding is in the morning' she thought sadly to herself.

Jane leaned in kissing Maura's cheek gently.

"Goodnight." She whispered before pulling the blonde's naked body closer to her and closing her eyes to go to sleep.

Maura felt her heart drop at Jane's confession. If she couldn't remember the passionate love they made and the confessions they made to each other Maura wouldn't be the one to remind her and ruin her happiness.

She wiped at the one tear that fell and shook her head, forcing a smile, "No, nothing happened"

Jane placed a hand over her heart as she sighed with relief.

"Oh thank God. I would hate to have done something I would regret." Maura could feel her heart breaking into pieces at the smile that came over Jane's face the moment Maura lied about the events that took place the night before.

"Alright, well I'll see you out there." Maura watched Jane walk out the door through blurry eyes. Jane was getting married and Maura would have to accept it.

Maura stood along with several others of Jane's bridesmaids at the left of the altar. Parker had already come out and she waited at the altar for the bridal march to begin again so that Jane could come out. She quickly glanced over at Angela who looked at her encouragingly, Maura knew what Angela was trying to get her to do but she couldn't, especially now that she knows Jane doesn't know what they did the night before.

The doors to the church opened and everyone stood as the wedding march began to play from the organ carrying the music throughout the church and into the street. Jane stepped out, her arm in Korsak's as he escorted her down into the church. Her smile was bright as she walked down the aisle her eyes locked with Parker's. Maura tightened her grip on the flowers in her hand as she watched Jane get closer and closer to the altar. When they got married, Maura came out second so she never got to see Jane walk. To see her walk down the aisle made her cry more than she already was. Maura quickly reached up and wiped away a tear. Soon Korsak and Jane had reached the end of the aisle. Jane took her spot, standing next to her fiancée, soon to be wife. Her smile shined radiantly as tears slowly fell from her eyes. The tears of joy were hard to keep back.

A silence fell over the church as the wedding ceremony began…

"Good morning everyone," started the priest. Jane handed her bouquet to Maura each feeling a spark between them as their hands touched. Jane turned back towards Parker who had just handed her bouquet to Melanie. The priest began to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you to the wedding ceremony of Ms. Jane Clementine Rizzoli to Ms. Parker Sophia Marino. I am about to start the process to join these two in holy matrimony.

"Who gives this woman away?" asked the priest turning towards Jane.

"Her mother and I do," replied Korsak as he and Angela stood.

"And who gives this woman away?" asked the priest turning towards Parker.

Both of her parents stood smiling brightly at their daughter. The priest smiled at both women before continuing.

"This is the day that matches all days in your lives, Jane and Parker. It is the most wonderful day and the culmination of one relationship to begin anew. You end one relationship just to begin a new one. This new relationship is one of a married couple. You go forth from this day as a married couple, to support and love one another.

To be caring, supportive and truthful to one another. You will have your ups along with your downs. You will have your good times along with your bad times. Today starts the beginning of another type of relationship. This relationship will last forever because the love you hold for one another lasts forever. You step into a committed relationship showing to the world how committed you are to one another. Marriage is a wonderful thing, but it is a relationship that you constantly have to work on throughout the rest of your lives. And it is now my pleasure to begin the vows and the exchanging of the rings that will bring you into your new relationship as wife and wife.

As the priest spoke these words, Jane and Parker looked deeply into each other's eyes. This was the day they had been waiting for. It felt like an eternity would come before their day would come, but it had finally arrived. They would soon be married.

"Now first, these two have decided to write their own vows that they will now exchange."

Jane turned towards Maura to get the small paper she wrote her vows on. As she turned to face her, their eyes locked and for the first time since the ceremony started Jane was feeling a bit of regret at seeing Maura cry. Nevertheless she took the paper and turned back around to face Parker.

"Before we begin the exchange of vows, I must ask, although this practice is a little outdated, if anyone does not think these two should be married, speak now or forever hold their peace." Jane and Parker smiled at one another when no one spoke.

Maura looked over to Angela who was anxiously motioning for her to speak. Maura shook her head no, and Angela mouthed the words, "Last chance." Maura shook her head no once again as she closed her eyes.

"Ok, if no one has any objections we can move-"

Can I really do this? Can I let Jane slip right through my hands and marry Parker? Maura this is your last chance, you'll lose her forever.

"WAIT!"

Everyone gasped and turned to look at Maura. Jane slowly turned around to look at Maura incredulously.

"Jane, you cannot marry Parker." She spoke, trying to find her voice.

Now or never

"Maura, what are you doing?" Jane asked.

"Jane you're my best friend and the love of my life… I know I lied to you and hid what happened between Tommy and me but I didn't tell you because I was afraid of losing you…. like I will today if you marry Parker."

She reached out to grab Jane's hand. The detective looked down at their joined hands before looking up to meet Maura's eyes.

"I didn't fight for you Jane, I signed the divorce papers and I just let you go but now I am asking you to fight with me. Without you, I have nothing…I am nothing. I love you. I love you so much" She reached up and wiped away a stream of tears as she tried to control the emotion in her voice.

"Please tell me I'm not the only one feeling this, please…"

Maura looked at her with pleading eyes squeezing Jane's hands in her own. Jane looked at everyone whose eyes were all on her before turning back to face Maura.

She opened her mouth trying to desperately find her voice,

"I-I"

Another chapter won't be up until Saturday because I've neglected finishing my summer work to write this and I need to take the day off to finish it. (If enough people read it before then, I might take the time to actually write it though, that all depends on you guys.) I don't know if this is the first true cliffhanger I've written, maybe it isn't but I feel like it is, so I won't leave you guys hanging for long. I know a lot of people wanted Maura to tell Jane what Tommy did to her before the wedding but Maura didn't, making Jane's decision purely hers, one that won't be made from the guilt of knowing Maura was raped. Thanks for reading and reviews are always appreciated.
