Jane stirred and immediately noticed that the warm, sweet smelling body that had been in her arms as she had fallen asleep was now missing. Still in a sleepy haze and unable to fully open her eyes, Jane smacked her arm down on the bed in order to search out the honey blonde. She missed her warmth against her body and desperately longed to wrap the gorgeous young medical student in her arms. She groaned when she couldn't find her. As she buried her head deep into her pillow, she let out a small whimper of disappointment. As soon as she let out the noise, she heard a small chuckle come from somewhere in the vast room. She popped her head up swiftly and wiped her eyes so that she could see where the offensive noise was coming from. When she finally opened her eyes fully, she saw the source of the chuckle. She wanted to pretend that she was angry at her girlfriend for laughing at her but the moment she fully opened her eyes and spied the stunning woman standing there giggling at her, her mind went blank.
Maura stood just past the foot of the bed in the middle of the immense room. She had already taken her shower, styled her magnificent honey blonde hair, and applied her immaculate makeup. When Jane looked her girlfriend was in the middle of selecting an outfit to wear and changing into it. She stood in the middle of the bedroom, dressed only in a pink lace bra and matching thong. The undergarments seemed to pop against Maura's pale skin and Jane sat in awe of just how gorgeous her girlfriend was. Maura stood there giggling at her girlfriend's attempts to find her and Jane could only think how she looked angelic with her pristine curls and radiant skin. Jane's eyes locked on Maura's ample breasts, which seemed to move in slow motion as she giggled. Before Maura could catch her stare, Jane laid her head back down on her pillow and began to lightly groan as if she were in pain.
The moment that Maura heard Jane groaning, she immediately stopped her laughter and practically leapt across the room to her girlfriend's side on the bed.
"Jane, are you ok? What's wrong? Is it your head?" Maura was frantic, checking all over Jane to ensure that she was ok. Jane opened one eye and gave a quick smirk before wrapping her arms around the blonde, pulling her down on top of her.
"I'm fine, Maur. I just really wanted you back in bed with me." She smiled a huge smile.
"Jane, you really shouldn't do that to me. I seriously thought you might be in pain and …"
Before Maura could finish her sentence Jane pulled her girlfriend into a deep passionate kiss. At first Maura held on to her anger and refused to reciprocate the kiss but she was not able to hold out long. In the matter of seconds, she was leaning into the kiss, deepening the kiss. Maura felt Jane's tongue trace her lips just before requesting entrance. Maura slightly parted her lips and instantly felt Jane's tongue invade her mouth, exploring every inch before meeting Maura's tongue. As they kissed with intense passion, Maura felt Jane's hands roam down her back until they firmly grasped her bare ass. As the hands lightly squeezed, Maura moaned at the sensation. Jane's hands on her bare skin sent waves of arousal throughout her body. After a few long minutes, both women needed to breathe and they parted slightly. Each panted, trying to catch their breath. Maura rested her head on Jane's chest, which was still heaving from the passionate kiss.
With her head to Jane's chest, Maura could hear Jane's heart racing. She began to worry about Jane's heath. "Jane, we really shouldn't be doing that. Your heart is beating very fast and you are most certainly over-exerting yourself."
"But it's been a day. You said I only had to wait a day." Jane whined.
"You know that it hasn't been a full day since the blow to your head. Just because we went to sleep does not mean that a full day has passed." Maura said, rolling her eyes at Jane.
"Ugh, this concussion is really starting to cramp my style." Maura started to laugh at the phrase. Jane shot her a questioning look. "What?"
"I am not really sure what it means to cramp one's style, but the fact that you would blame your style or lack thereof on the concussion is humorous. I hate to tell you Jane but you didn't have much style before the concussion." She continued to giggle.
"Oh you are just so funny, aren't you?" Jane reached down and squeezed Maura's side. "First, I don't see you complaining with what I wear. I seem to remember there are times when you can't keep your hands off of me." Jane said with a smug smile on her face.
"Just because I am extremely attracted to you when you are wearing a tank top and sweats does not mean that I find it particularly stylish." Maura corrected.
"Whatever. 'Cramping my style' is like preventing me from doing what I want or keeping me from something. This concussion is certainly keeping me from something I desperately want." Jane wagged her eyebrows and smiled.
Maura shook her head before quickly kissing her girlfriend. She moved to get of the bed when Jane grabbed her. "Hey, don't go. Just because we can't do anything doesn't mean I don't want you to lay here with me."
Maura sighed. "I would love to stay here with you but I have to go to work. I wasn't the one with the concussion and unfortunately interns don't get many days off. I need to finish getting ready or I am going to be late."
Jane groaned. "But who is going to take are of me?" She whined.
Maura chuckled. "You are 25 years old, Jane. You are perfectly capable of taking care of yourself. Just stay in bed. I will bring you breakfast and I will run home for lunch. If you really can't be alone, I am sure that I can talk your mother into staying with you today." She kissed her and rose so that she could continue to get ready for work.
"No, please don't send her here. I am supposed to be resting." Maura laughed at Jane's quick turn around.
Maura finished getting dressed and then went downstairs to make breakfast for Jane. She knew Jane wouldn't eat anything too healthy like the yogurt she was enjoying for her breakfast so she made her pancakes and some juice. She put the breakfast on a tray and brought them back upstairs where she found Jane sleeping again. She knew that Jane needed her rest but she was afraid that if Jane was left to her own devices, she would most likely make herself a cup of coffee and eat something less healthy than the pancakes that Maura had made. She set the tray with the breakfast down and started to lightly run her fingers through the raven curls.
Jane stirred her head and, with her eyes still closed, starting sniffing the air. She raised her head and a large grin formed on her face. "Mmmm, I smell pancakes." But then Maura noticed Jane smile fall and her eyes open wide. Maura watched as Jane scanned the tray and then slammed her head back on the pillow. "You know, my headache is never going to go away if I don't get some coffee. How am I supposed to wake up without coffee?"
Maura thought it was kind of cute that Jane acted like such a child when she was ill. "Since you aren't supposed to get up but rather should stay in bed and get some sleep, you don't need the coffee." Maura lifted Jane's head up off of the pillow and gave her a quick kiss. "If you really can't sleep you can turn on the TV in here. There really is no reason to get out of bed except to use the restroom. I'll be back at lunch to check on you." Maura leaned in and whispered, "As a small incentive to get you to sleep; the more rest you get, the more likely I will determine that you are ready to return to 'physical exercise'." When Jane heard that she playfully slammed her head back down on the pillow and made a fake snoring sound. Maura burst out laughing and playfully smacked Jane on the shoulder. Jane popped her head up and had the biggest smile on her face. "Eat your breakfast and I will see you at lunch time." Maura gave her girlfriend one last kiss as she sat up to eat and then headed towards downstairs and left for work.
Maura parked her car and walked into the station. She really wished she could have stayed at home in bed with Jane. She missed being in her arms and knowing that Jane was laying in her bed, curls strewn on her pillows, leaving her scent on her sheets sent a surge of arousal coursing through her body. She wanted to be home, mending Jane's wounds. In all of her clinical internships, Maura had found that she didn't do so well with live patients. They actually scared her. Her fear of the living extended to her personal relationships as well. But Jane was different. She was the first person that Maura felt truly comfortable being around. Jane was the first person that Maura had really loved and the first person that loved Maura for who she was. She hated that she was here while Jane was home, lying in her bed.
But unfortunately, interns didn't get vacation days and there was no way she would be able to lie to Dr. Williams and say she was sick. Maura also didn't want to waste any of the days she had left working in the Medical Examiner's office. She loved it there. She knew that she had found what she was meant to do. It solved her issue of dealing with live patients and she had become very fond of working so closely with the police. She felt a rush when the work that she and Dr. Williams helped find a killer. She felt a rush when what they did allowed them to speak for the dead.
Maura was a little early because she wanted to stop in the café. She wanted to update Angela on Jane's status and ensure the older woman that her daughter was doing quite well. She walked into the café, which was fairly empty. In a few minutes, the café would be bustling with activity, filled with those getting off of the midnight shift and those about to start the morning shift. Maura walked up to the motherly woman who was currently behind the counter. "Good Morning, Angela." Maura said with a wide smile on her face. She really did care deeply for the woman, not only as the mother of the woman she loved but also as a mother figure to her.
"Maura, sweetie, good morning. How are you?" Angela ran around the counter to embrace the young medical student in one of her patented Angela hugs. Maura loved the feeling of Angela's hugs. They made her feel loved. Her mother never gave her such hugs, so Maura cherished each one that the older Italian woman gave her.
"I am doing quite well, Angela. I wanted to come by to keep you updated on Jane's status."
"How is my Janie doing? I wanted to come by yesterday to check on her but then I realized I didn't know exactly where you live and I knew Janie would never give me your address. Maybe I can come by and fix you two girls dinner."
"That would be wonderful. Let me see how Jane is doing when I check on her at lunch and if she is progressing well, we would love to have you come over and cook dinner. Speaking of Jane, she is doing well but she is very stubborn. She doesn't want to follow any of the medical advice I am giving her." Maura said, frustrated.
Angela laughed. "Oh sweetie, I am sorry. She has been that way since she was a child. She hates when anyone tries to take care of her. She was the worst when she was sick because she would keep insisting that she was fine and she would try so hard to keep doing everything she normally did until she would just pass out. Hopefully she will listen to you a little better than she listened to me."
"Well, she refuses to acknowledge the signs and symptoms of her injury and anytime I tell her that she needs to refrain from something or take it easy, she simply whines. So I would say that she doesn't listen to me anymore than she listened to you." Maura smiled and looked at Angela, thinking that they were bonding over the stubborn woman that they both loved. But she was shocked when she looked up at Angela's face and saw only worry.
"What signs and symptoms is she showing, Maura? I thought she was doing well. Is she going to be ok?" Angela was visibly worried about her eldest child. Maura felt bad because she really didn't mean to upset Angela.
"Oh Angela, please don't worry. She is just showing typical signs of a mild concussion. It is nothing to worry about. For example, she is slightly emotional and more fatigued than usual." Maura's tone was calm and reassuring.
Angela seemed to calm down. "Well, that doesn't sound too bad. It just sounds like she is crying and sleeping a little more. Is there anything else?"
Maura suddenly got nervous. She really didn't see this conversation going this way. She thought Angela would be satisfied when she gave a brief overview of Jane's symptoms. But Angela was asking for more. Maura couldn't lie but she really didn't want to discuss with her girlfriend's mom about how her daughter's sex drive had drastically increased. Maura had no problem talking about sex. She was a medical student and she was quite versed in the benefits of sexual intercourse. But she was not entirely comfortable talking to her girlfriend's mother, who less than a week ago had had a less than positive reaction to Maura kissing her daughter, about how she had to fight her daughter to stop her from dipping her hands inside her shorts.
"Well…um…she is exhibiting signs of a slight hormone imbalance." Maura was trying her hardest to word her answers so that she was not lying but she was answering Angela's questions.
Angela could see that Maura had begun to fidget and her skin became flush. She started to worry about what Maura was hiding. "What signs are those, Maura?"
Maura realized she was just digging herself deeper. She realized she had no choice but to say what she had been dreading and just hope that Angela wouldn't react too negatively. "Angela, it is very common for those suffering from a brain injury to have a temporary imbalance in hormones which may lead to changes in their sex drive." Maura looked up at Angela and waited for her reaction. Angela had a blank look on her face as she let the words that Maura had uttered seep in.
"Maura, are you telling me that this concussion has caused my daughter to act like a horny teenager?"
Maura was bright red. She knew Jane would be horrified to know that Maura was having this conversation with her mother. "Yes, Angela. Jane is showing an increase in her sex drive. But I assure you that I am making sure that Jane does not participate in any activities that would cause her to exert herself, as it may cause further injury." Maura blurted out quickly. She couldn't look Angela in the eye. She really hoped that Angela was not angry with her. She knew Angela was accepting of their relationship, but it was very different to hear about your daughter lusting after and craving the body of her girlfriend.
Finally, Maura looked up at Angela to see she still had her sweet smile painted on her face. "Maura, sweetie, don't worry so much. I appreciate that my Janie has a bright 'almost' doctor to take care of her and look out for her best interests while she is in this condition." Angela pulled her into another hug and Maura was instantly relieved. This woman really felt like the maternal figure that Maura had always longed for. "Well, Maura you better get down to the morgue. I wouldn't want you to be late because you were talking to me. Let me grab you a cup of tea to take with you." Angela ran off to grab Maura a cup of tea. Maura stood there thinking about how lucky she had been in the past few weeks. She never had a close family or someone that she loved as much as her girlfriend. Now not only did she have a girlfriend that she couldn't imagine her life without, but she now had people in her life that she considered family. They were so different from her own family. They were warm and they cared deeply for each other and for her. They accepted her like no one else ever had. Just thinking about it caused her eyes to mist.
Angela came running back with Maura's tea. She gave her one last Angela hug. "Come by before you go to check on Jane and I will have a lunch ready for you both to take with you." Maura thanked Angela and walked towards the elevator so she could make her way to the morgue.
A/N 3: I wonder if Jane got plenty of rest so she can get the ok to regain "physical activity" ;). Hope you guys enjoyed. And hopefully there are no horrible grammer mistakes but knowing me there probably are :).
