Maura stared at the letters for so long that they began to move across the paper and didn't make sense any more. She looked up at Paddy with tears in her eyes and she squeezed his hand in thanks. As she looked down at the address below the name her mind began to swim and fear began to set in. She didn't want me either.

Paddy saw the doubt in his daughter's eyes and shook his head until she looked up at him. "Told her...you...dead...birth."

Maura's eyes widened in shock and she stared at him in disbelief "You told her...?"

Paddy closed his eyes and nodded solemnly. "Sor-"

"No. Don't." Maura had found some strength from somewhere as she glared at Paddy. "Why?"

He inhaled the oxygen deeply before lifting the mask and digging deep for the strength and courage to tell her everything. "She never knew the truth. They would have killed you both." He took another long breath "I made wrong choice. You shouldn't pay for that."

Jane noticed movement in the doorway and turned to see Dean leaning against the doorframe. She moved away from Maura and Paddy and hissed at him "Why are you here?"

"Thank you to you too." Jane sighed heavily at him and he rolled his eyes "He asked for me."

Jane frowned at him in confusion "Paddy Doyle asked to see you?"

Dean shrugged "I know, but that's what his nurse said."

Paddy looked over Maura's shoulder and beckoned Dean into the room. Maura turned and frowned at Dean before turning to Paddy questioningly. "What's going on?"

"Handing myself in. Maura. For everything...including Bulger's kid..." All other sets of eyes in the room looked at Paddy in shock. "Don't want my mistakes to hurt you...Princess." It was all too much for him as he winced in pain.

Maura replaced the mask on his face and lay a soothing hand across his forehead until he settled again. "Lay still, you'll aggravate your injuries."

He smiled proudly at his daughter before sighing deeply and closing his eyes. For the first time since Maura was born he felt at peace, not just with the people in his life but also within himself, he felt cleansed and though he knew he could never ask for her forgiveness at least he knew Maura had heard it from him.

Maura was struggling back into her wheelchair when she felt that warm hand support her lower back and she didn't have to turn to know whose hand it was. She rested her head against the slim body next to her and sighed happily. "Home."

Jane heard the whisper and chuckled softly "You need to stay in hospital Maur."

Maura pulled back slightly and scowled at the brunette as she lowered herself into the chair. "Don't."

Jane simply raised an eyebrow at the medical examiner whose chest was currently burning in hives that were spreading. She wheeled her back to her own room and knelt in front of her. "Do too."

Maura pouted at the detective "You can look after me."

"Me?! You're kidding right? I don't know one end of a band aid from the other!"

Maura lifted her hand and gently cupped Jane's face. She sighed contentedly as Jane closed her eyes and leant into her touch. Maura felt her heart burst with love as they stayed still. Her stomach fluttered again and she giggled quietly. I feel you little Jane. I know.

Jane heard the quiet giggle and frowned at the ME. "What?"

Maura shook her head softly "Thinking about something I heard today." Jane raised an eyebrow again. "You love me."

Jane's eyes grew wide at the statement and she flushed a furious shade of red. She went to get up when Maura held her face with her other hand too and pulled her in for the gentlest of kisses. Jane's heart exploded into a million fireworks and she stared blankly at Maura.

Maura felt her heart sink as she looked at Jane's inexpressive face and she suddenly gasped in horror. It was my mind, she didn't say that at all. She dropped her hands from Jane's face and stammered nervously. "N-no sorry, of course you don't. I th- never mind, I just- it doesn't m- I..."

Jane cut off the medical examiner's babble with a longer kiss. As she pulled away she couldn't stop the grin that spread across her face. "You are the dumbest genius I know." Maura was now the one shocked into a blank expression. "Yes Maur, I love you." She caressed the ME's soft cheek and gently trailed a finger lightly over the scar that lay on her neck that matched her own. "I'd do anything for you." Her voice cracked with emotion as the day took its toll on her.

Maura lovingly smiled at Jane and nodded softly "I know..." She brought Jane's hand to her lips and kissed it. She smiled mischievously "Although..." Jane looked up at her sharply "You didn't shoot me."

Jane frowned at the medical examiner whose eyes were sparkling with humour "What?"

"You say you'd do anything for me, but you didn't shoot me."

Jane playfully scowled at Maura "Yeah...well that's 'coz I know how much that hurts!" Both woman shared a laugh that was tinged with sadness as they both reflected on the times they came so close to losing one another. They held each other and little tighter and rested their foreheads against one another. They looked at one another through misty eyes when a cough sounded from the doorway and Jane sighed as she looked up to see Korsak in the doorway. "Yeah?"

Korsak couldn't speak for a moment; overwhelmed with emotion at seeing those two finally together. He blinked away the happy tears and produced a large purple flower. Both Jane and Maura gasped in horror and shook their heads in disbelief. "No! No!" Korsak's eyes widened as he realised his mistake and he held his hands up in surrender "No! This was left anonymously at the...um...crime scene."

My grave. Maura let the meaning sink in and she nodded as fresh tears spilled down her face.

Jane wrapped her arms around the medical examiner as she nodded at Korsak who left them alone. "It's over baby...it's over." She cooed as she stroked Maura's soft hair.

Maura shook her head and pulled back to look into Jane's beautiful deep eyes that were shining with love. "No. It's just beginning." She kissed the detective tenderly. "I love you Jane Rizzoli."

"I love you too."

just wanna thank people for sticking with this even though it hasnt been a rizzles fest, it means a lot that you guys are so supportive even when i try something new x

I feel like something to do with Constance at the end is missing but i didn't want to spoil the moment by having her and Maura talk i felt it would ruin the fluffy ending.

this was the original prompt i got from octobersky69 (again thank u so much for giving it to me) :

Maura arrives at a crime scene and the body has a flower laying on it (a corpse flower- rare flower usually only found in indonesia) at first she only makes reference to it being unusual but somewhere in the back of her mind she is bothered by it. that night she has a nightmare where she is trapped in a box and can't get out.
Next crime scene same type of body but this time a note is left with the corpse flower, it simply states (do you remember), again that night she has a terrible nightmare, wakes up screaming, angela hears and comes to help.
The concept is that something happened to maura when she was a young girl that she has repressed (her parents took her to a therapist and they hypnotized her to forget what happened) but the person who took her is back and now the pieces are coming to her in a terrifying way, and it is up to jane to figure it out and stop the man before he finishes what her started with her all those years ago, and before maura loses her mind.

so hopefully you guys can see where i went with it and why and hopefully i did it justice!

any more prompts you guys have for me send them via twitter,fb,tumblr on here or via my blog. the next story i'm doing is another prompt from a reader.

also if you liked this please keep me in mind for the rizzles fanfic awards xx
