A/N - Disclaimer - I don't own anything except plotline and Williams and some more characters who appear later in the chapter who I don't want to name yet;D

Okay here we are. Sorry it took a while to get here, but with my A-levels things have been so stressful! I've had no time! And the only reason there is a chapter today is because I'm sick and had to have a day off.

So, rather than make you wait through my ramblings, here it is, chapter 14. Hope you enjoy. (Also, A/N at the end is important.)

(Also, this is not beta'd. Mistakes are my own, feel free to point any out that need fixing, thanks!:))


The blade slipped across her neck smoothly, barely drawing blood.

When she didn't even stir at the feeling he was angered. He wanted her to feel the pain; he wanted her to know what pain felt like.

He knew that in theory, the best way to cause her the pain she had caused him would have been to take Jane, but in practice that proved to be far too difficult.

Once he realised Maura really was not going to wake, he moved away from her, throwing the knife down in anger before leaving, making sure to slam the door.

Even that didn't wake her.


Jane parked in her usual spot, right next to Maura's.

Just the thought of the blonde spurred Jane on. She had to find Maura, it wasn't a want to find her, it was a need.

She stalked through the station, trying to ignore all the looks. The looks of pity, of apology, of the ones who knew what it was like, and those who couldn't even imagine.

She noticed in the elevator door the movement behind her and before long Frankie stood by her side. He didn't say anything, he didn't need to.

The doors opened and Jane stepped in, catching a brief glimpse of her Mother and Tommy walking through the entrance. Jane looked over to Tommy, only to just notice he had changed into his uniform. She was grateful, she wanted her mother and Tommy to serve as the loving family, but she needed people to help.

Frankie had sensed Jane would want more officers she knew on the case, not another baby sitter to make sure she was okay. It hadn't taken him long once he had found out, to go back to his place and grab his uniform. He had pulled up just after Jane.

The rest of the elevator ride was spent in silence, and so was the walk into the bullpen.

As Jane walked through the bullpen doors some officers kept working, others tried not to stare, but no-one even acknowledged her.

She wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

In the end she moved to her desk in complete silence. She wasn't sure how long she had sat for when Frost rushed in.

He was about to yell something when he noticed Jane at her desk.

"Jane?" His voice sounded almost accusatory.

"Yeah Frost." Her answering tone was despondent.

"I just didn't expect to see you here." He moved to the front of her desk now.

"Yeah well, I couldn't just sit at home could I?" Jane spat back. She wasn't in the mood for conversation. She wasn't really in the mood for anything.

Frost went to respond but Cavanaugh burst through the bull pen doors before he could.

"Frost! Korsak said you had something on the Isles case. Do we need to inform-" He halted his words as he spotted Jane sat by Frosts side.

"Rizzoli, what the hell are you doing here? You know you can't work this, you're too close! You know the rules!" Cavanaugh's word should have had an angry tone to them, or even just a little pissed off. But today, Jane noted, they did not. It was though he was reading from a cue card. The words felt fake. Everyone knew Jane was going to help work the case.

Jane didn't answer his question, instead standing up sharply as she processed his words.

She turned to Frost.

"You've got something?!" She about yelled at Frost.

Frost, to his credit, held his own. He wasn't scared. "Yes, one of Maura's bridesmaids spotted a guy entering Maura's room and the description didn't match an employee."

"And..." Jane suddenly sounded eager, hope evident.

"We don't have any more than that right now, we're checking through all the security footage to see if we can get a picture and then and ID."

Cavanaugh nodded. "Right, keep on down that road; I'm going to deal with press. Of course it had to be at a huge wedding-" He looked pointedly at Jane.

"Not me sir, it was her idea to invite everyone!"

"-As I was saying, it was at a huge wedding so word has spread, we need to keep a lid on the press." With that Cavanaugh nodded at Frost and left as abruptly as he had arrived.

Frost didn't even have to turn to Jane to know what she was going to ask.

"Fine. Come on."

Jane smiled and followed Frost out of the bullpen, eager to finally be able to help.


Maura woke slowly.

She shifted slightly, noting her neck hurt. She tried to move her hands, but they were still bound. She rolled her neck slightly, and she could feel something on it. It felt like a bandage but she couldn't be sure.

Since she couldn't remember how she obtained the injury it confused her even more.

She moved around slightly, trying to wriggle free, or at least get more comfortable.

That's when she heard the door open. She spun around to face the door. She recognized the man walking through the door.

"Ahhh...Maura, I see you've finally awoken." Maura could see his sick smile through the darkness.

She chose not to respond.

"Come on Maura, you must have something you want to say to me?" He moved closer, and now Maura saw the knife in his hand once again.

He kneeled down in front of her, wielding the knife close to her face. Inches from her face he lowered it and slipped the edge of the blade across the bandage covering her neck.

She gasped.

"You cut me?!" The words were out before she could even think about stopping them.

"Oh, you do have something to say!"

She remained silent again.

"Well, I guess since you have been so good...Yes, I did cut you. I expected you to wake, however you seemed pretty out of it."

He smiled again.

Again Maura chose not to speak. She knew it was best.

It appeared her silence irritated him, as after her lack of response he moved the knife closer again.

Deciding against her better judgement she figured she may as well get some information while she was here.

"Why do you have me?"

He moved the knife away again.

"Oh, getting straight to it I see? Well, I think I'll save that question for later."

Maura stayed silent, thinking about her next question.

The longer she stayed quiet the closer the knife got. He edged it closer until she finally spoke.

"Are you going to kill me?"

He smirked.

"I'm not sure. It would be best wouldn't it?" He pretended to fumble the knife, allowing it to graze her cheek.

She jumped back, terrified. He simply laughed in response.

He stood as he laughed.

"Come on Maura, you were always so good at interrogating me 6 years ago?"

Maura looked down.

Oh.

That's what this is about.

"So, this is a revenge thing?"

He smiled.

"Finally. You were good at piecing things together quickly too."

"James...I...I don't know what you want me to tell you! I apologized! I didn't intend to hurt you!"

She heard the slap before she felt it.

"Ooops! I didn't intend to hurt you." He responded, clearly mocking her.

"See Maura? It hurts anyway doesn't it?!" His voice grew louder; she could tell she was angering him.

Maura didn't respond. She simply looked at the floor.

"What do you want from me?" She asked quietly.

Instead of responding James walked towards the door.

Maura looked up.

"See Maura, it hurts, and now I'm going to leave you in the dark without any answers. Then maybe you'll know what it feels like." With that James slammed the door behind him.

Maura sat for a few moments, waiting to see if he came back. After a little time had passed she finally allowed herself to cry. She couldn't be sure if it was more out of longing for Jane, frustration or pain.


Jane was starting to become restless.

She hated just sitting around waiting.

Even with the progress she had made with Maura, sitting around waiting still bothered her.
Fortunately, it appeared she wouldn't have to wait around as Korsak burst through.

"We have a match!"

Jane was first out of her chair to look at the file in Korsak's hands. She opened it carefully.

She read through the information quickly, taking it in.

"James Meyer, age 39."

She flipped the page, expecting to find more.

"That's all we have?" She attempted to keep her voice low as she faced a blank page.

"I'm sorry Jane, but it's a start! We've got people running his name to find anything we can!"

Jane sighed, but ultimately sat back in her chair.


6 hours later and it was all over.

The guys in missing persons had managed to get a match on James, and found that he had a warehouse rented downtown.

Cavanaugh had told Jane not to go with them, but ultimately he knew Jane was going to go and save Maura even if it ended her career.

The car drive to the warehouse seemed to take forever, but once they arrived Jane felt like she were going in slow motion as she watched everyone prep to take the warehouse.

She checked her gun three times, put on, and checked her vest twice. They ran through the plan a couple times, and then everyone got in their positions.

Jane didn't want to wait for back up to help, but she knew if she didn't the consequences could be worse.

She allowed other members to go into the warehouse and finally she received her signal. She moved forward, creeping silently into the warehouse.

James sat with his feet up in the corner, clearly asleep.

It didn't take long to have him surrounded.

Frost had him stood with cuffs on his wrists in minutes.

With him caught, there were suddenly officers everywhere, checking everywhere for Maura.

Jane decided to take a more straight forward approach.

She squared up to James, making sure her gun was in full view of him.

"Where is she James?"

James stayed silent.

"Where the fuck is she James?" Jane allowed her voice to get a little louder this time.

James only snickered.

Jane pulled her gun and fully intended on shooting the SOB when Williams yelled her over.

"Rizzoli!"

Jane spun quickly to face him; she saw the smile on his face before he even spoke.

"We got her Rizzoli!"

She smiled at Williams before running over to where he stood beside a large door, pushing everyone else aside, she had to be first in.

She slipped beside him, walking into the darkness

In the corner Maura struggled against her restraints. She had woken as she heard people outside. She went to yell out, only to find James had gagged her.

She whimpered against it, spotting Jane's figure in the doorway.

Jane heard the whimper and turned to the corner Maura sat in.

"Maura?" Jane dashed over, kneeling in front of Maura as soon as she could.

It didn't take Jane long to grab a knife from some shelves near Maura's head and take all the restraints off.

Jane wrapped Maura up in a hug as soon as she was free.

"I thought I'd lost you..." Jane nuzzled into Maura's neck, revelling in the feel.

"I know." Maura didn't quite know how to respond. But Jane knew how difficult it was, coming out the other end of this sort of situation.

Jane leant back on her knees, wiping Maura's tears away before kissing her softly.

Maura smiled once again, trying to move closer to Jane, only to be stopped by her injuries.

With that Jane pulled away and grabbed Maura up, pulling her into her arms.

"I think we should get you checked out? And then maybe we can go home?"

"I think I like the sound of that Jane."

It didn't take long for Jane to find her way between the dozens of officers all located outside the room, and milling around.

Maura smiled as she saw just how many people had turned up to help.

The two of them rode together to the hospital, just in case. Maura was checked over, but released quickly. She hadn't any major injuries.

That night as Maura slept soundly beside her, Jane watched over her.

She knew Maura was safe now, but she couldn't help but want to make sure. She never wanted to lose her.


6 years on –

Now Maura lay back on the couch watching Jane play with their son Noah on the floor.

Neither of them really knew how the name Noah had come about, but somehow once it was mentioned, they both seemed to like it. More than any of the other names at least.

A lot of names had been thrown about throughout the entire pregnancy, but it was just that one name that really seemed to fit.

She paid close attention to the view in front of her, trying not to let the date affect her.

It had been exactly 6 years since they had attempted their first wedding, the day she had been taken from Jane.

It still scared her to think about, but she tried her best to focus on the scene in front of her, to remember that James was gone, and that Jane was always going to protect her.

She smiled as she watched Noah attempting to run over Jane's feet with his truck, laughing quietly as Jane retaliated by tickling him.

She still found it difficult to believe everything she had been through with Jane, from her being the quick fuck in the bathroom, to her being the one that ran away and now suddenly they were married and Jane was playing with their son on the floor.

Maura still found herself having to take a moment to step back and view her life, as though at any moment it would be taken away.

But she and Jane both knew how easily that happened. How easily they could let themselves get used to the happiness and then have something horrible happen.

She was so lost in thought she didn't notice Jane and Noah sit next to her. The only thing that alerted her to their presence was when Noah crawled on her lap, placing his hands on her stomach.

Maura smiled at the touch, Noah was fascinated by her pregnancy. She shifted, allowing him to sit more comfortably before lovingly stroking his hair.

She finally turned to Jane, who was looking at her, smiling, but totally aware of what thoughts had just been running through her head.

"I know. I realized last week, hence why I have the day off. I thought it would be nice if we spent the day together, thought I could take your mind off it. You know how Sofia gets when you over think and get worked up."

Maura smiled at Jane's thoughtfulness, she leaned over, pressing her lips to Jane's softly before pulling back.

"Thank you."

"For what? Taking a day off so I could lounge around and do nothing all day? No problem!" Jane smirked, and then feigned hurt when Maura slapped her arm.

"Jane..."

"I know, I know. But really Maur, it isn't a problem. I love you, so of course I'm going to be here on days like today."

Maura smiled and leaned closer into Jane, who wrapped her arms around her wife.

It was then that Maura remember their earlier conversation.

"Sofia?" She asked.

Jane stroked Maura's arm. "Yeah, I liked it."

Maura thought it over for a moment.

"Yes, I think I like it too."

"Think?" Jane shot back playfully.

Maura ignored her, too busy enjoying the moment; her wife, her son and unborn daughter.

Even if it could be easily taken away, Maura couldn't help but sit back and enjoy the moment for a little longer.

-end.


As you can see from the final word of the piece that is the end. The end-end. Like, never going to be more. I pushed myself to write more, and I think if I push myself to write more, it'll turn out crap and I don't want to do that to you guys.

So, thank you so much for all of your amazing reviews and alerts, I've had an awesome time writing this, its been really eye opening, and a great experience to write a fairly popular fic. My little dances when I reached 100 reviews, and then 200 reviews and then when I made it onto the first page of stories when sorted by reviews, well, they were embarrassing dances...

Still, thank you once again! I hope you liked this ending, I wasn't sure how to end it, and to be honest I'm crap at writing this fluffy weddings/pregnancy stuff, so this is as good as it gets, sorry.

I'm done rambling now, what did you think? Did you like it? Hate it? Something I could have changed or done better?

Also, I'm working on a new piece called 'One Year' people seem to like, so feel free to check it out!:) I just updated yesterday so it'll be high up on the list of T rated fics, or its on my profile.

Thank you so much guys. I'll see you...well...who knows?
