Jane hated mornings, especially Monday mornings but waking up to a certain medical examiner wearing nothing but one of her shirts waking her with a kiss, a cup of coffee and a cannoli was the best way to start a day ever. "Cannoli for breakfast Doctor Isles? Didn't think that would be too nutritious!"

"More nutritious than what is in your fridge!" Maura saw Jane frown at her "Nothing!" she elaborated and they both laughed.

Jane glanced over at the time and it wasn't even 6am. "Maur! Why the hell am I up before 6?"

Maura looked guiltily at the detective "I wanted to say goodbye."

Jane tried not to show the heartbreak that was happening inside "Goodbye?"

"I need to go home."

"Why?"

"You know I can't work in wrinkled clothes Jane! Besides last night's dress is hardly appropriate work attire and well...it's ruined"

Jane grinned broadly and sniggered "Oh really?! Well maybe that'll teach you for not wearing any underwear!"

Maura crawled a little closer to Jane across the bed "Well I didn't see the point."

"Oh?"

Maura nuzzled into the detective's neck noting with satisfaction the hitch in breathing she caused "My underwear just gets ruined when I'm around you."

Jane growled and tried to steal a kiss when the medical examiner dodged it and instead took a bite of her cannoli. "Oh no!"

Maura squealed as the brunette attacked her. By the time Jane's alarm sounded both women were covered in cream and out of breath from their tickle fight which had escalated quickly. The ME got up and began raiding Jane's closet.

"What are you looking for?" Jane lay on her bed admiring the view; every time Maura lifted her arms Jane got a glimpse of that perfect ass.

"Something to wear for work." The medical examiner was decidedly unimpressed with what she was finding.

Jane grinned "I like you in my shirt...that works!"

Maura laughed and turned to face her "Did you know that-"

"Oh no Google!" Jane cut her off quickly.

"What?"

"You're gonna tell me something like all the psychological reasons that guys like to see their women in their clothes and then tell me why I like it and it's just too early babe!"

Maura stood stunned for a moment firstly at how well Jane could read her mind but also because of what she had just inferred. "Their women?" Jane nodded. "So, am I your woman?" Maura turned back to the closet and couldn't look at Jane for fear of the answer.

Jane climbed off her bed, walked up behind her and wrapped her arms around the ME's slender waist. "If you wanna be." Maura didn't answer her but turned her head and gave her a tender kiss. Jane rested her head on Maura's shoulder and looked at her clothes "So what you gonna wear?"

"Well I have a choice of hideous pant suit or hideous pant suit! Tough one!" she squealed again as Jane poked her side. "I should go home anyway really."

"Why?"

Maura could hear the pout in the detective's voice "Well, Bass will need to be fed, I would like to wear my own clothes and we'd both have to turn up in your car."

Jane turned the medical examiner around in her arms. "Ok, number one; I know for a fact that you always have a spare outfit at work. Number two; your turtle can survive without a leaf until tonight and number three; what's the big deal at turning up together? We've done it before."

"Yes but that was...before..."

"Does it bother you?"

Maura shook her head earnestly "No."

Jane shrugged "Then what's the big deal?" she smiled as she walked into her bathroom.

"Ok. Thank you. Oh and Jane?"

"Yeah?" the shout came out of the bathroom.

"He's a tortoise." All Maura heard was footsteps pounding out of the bathroom and didn't have enough time to react as Jane attacked her once again before dragging her into the bathroom.
