Chapter 27:
Open heart conversation :
The next morning Jane woke up around 9 am Maura still on top of her, sleeping. After gently removing herself from her embrace, she quietly put on some clothes and went to the kitchen and came back a few minutes later with coffee and muffins. When she entered her bedroom Maura was still sleeping laying on her belly naked, the bedsheets barely covering her.
Marveling at the beauty laid before her, wandering her hands on Maura's back Jane couldn't believe what had happened last night and how happy she finally felt. For the first time since Hoyt she was actually finally seeing the end of the tunnel and was confident that she would never be alone ever again.
"I hope you didn't forget that I only use sweeteners in my coffee." Maura mumbled her eyes still closed.
"Of course not, wouldn't want to mess with that perfect body of yours." Jane smiled leaning over kissing the back of Maura's neck before trailing kissing on her shoulders blades, all the way to her lower back.
"Well unlike you I do not carry good genes and I actually need to eat healthy and exercise to maintain this body." Maura replied turning around.
"Well I'm afraid that diet isn't very compatible with my family eating habits, don't worry I'll still love you if you get fat." Jane teased kissing her knowing how important her physical appearance was to Maura.
"That's very nice to know." Maura grinned biting her lower lip pulling her by her shirt.
"Angry much Doctor?"
"May I remind you that we skipped dinner last night to get directly to dessert?"
"Yes, best dessert I ever had I must say, here take a muffin special welcome home gift from my mother."
"They look yummy." Maura said licking her lips straightening up in bed covering herself with the bedsheets.
As the two women were sitting in bed having breakfast in silence both of them were dying to bring up a certain subject both neither of them was willing to take the first step.
"So about last night."Jane finally spoke.
"Yes…"Maura replied avoiding eye contact knowing Jane was a bit uncomfortable to talk about it.
"Was it…I mean…" Jane mumbled nervously scratching the scars on her hands.
"It was perfect Jane, better than in my wildest fantasies."
"Really?I mean I barely touched you down there…."
"You should know by now that you don't need to touch me down there to make me want to scream your name over and over." Maura seductively muttered as she wrapped the bed sheet around her and slowly rolled on top of her.
"Yes you did scream my name, several times actually."
"Yes, just kissing you feelings you fingers on my back and your knee rubbing my clitoris like this made me so wet Jane." Maura said lifting Jane's leg up blocking it between her inner thighs.
"How about this?" Jane replied strongly grabbing her waist as she quickly push her aside and rolled on top of her.
"I think you might have to use your handcuffs on me Detective, if you wish to keep me in that position."
"I don't need my handcuffs babe, I'm stronger than you." Jane replied lifting Maura's arms over her head pinning them hard on the board of the bed.
"I should have known you preferred to be on top." Maura frowned feeling her pulse rise as she felt Jane's breath on her face.
"Yes I do, but I'm thankful that you took the lead last night, I really needed you to." Jane replied letting go of Maura's arms.
"Anytime darling. So do we have any plans for today?" Maura asked her arms around Jane's waist.
"Actually now that you mentioned it…Please don't hate me for not telling you before but your mother is in town." Jane said excepting Maura to push her out of bed right away.
"How do you know she's in town?"
"She came to see me about 5 days ago. I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I didn't know if you were ready to talk about what happened and I didn't want to upset you. "
"Well, I think I have been avoiding this long enough." Laying in bed naked under the bed sheets, Jane on top of her Maura felt safe enough to talk about it after spending almost tree weeks avoiding the subject.
"When ever you're ready babe." Jane said pressing her lips against hers.
"Did you talk to her?"
"I did, actually we had a nice conversation and she really wants to see you."
"I would love nothing more than to see her, we haven't talked since it happened."
"I think both of you needed time to think and to decide where you wanted your relationship to go and let me tell you that your mother wants to make things better between the two of you, no matter what it takes. She supports you and our relationship."
"How about my dad?"
"He's still in France and he's thinking about what happened too."
"Oh God, did my mother leave him?"
"Hey baby, stop panicking, she left him by himself in France so he could think about what happened and what he did, but she didn't leave him don't worry, okay?"Jane replied trying to calm her down.
"What have I done?My parents they never argue, their marriage is so strong."Palming her face with both hands Maura suddenly felt terrible, convinced that she had caused her parents' break up.
"I understand that but this but your father hurt and disrespected you and as much as your mother loves your him, she's still her own person and she's capable of her own opinion, don't worry about it."
"Alright, well I'm glad my mother stood up for me, I think it's the first time n my life she supports me like this."
"I think she realized she was gonna loose you she if she didn't support you this time."
"I know, well I'm glad she's in town, do you mind if I have lunch with her today?"
"Of course not, I could unpack your stuff if you want?"
"You're sweet but that won't be necessary, I will do it later, by the way, I won't be available until later today. I have an interview with the SVU's Captain and Dr Cavanaugh later this afternoon."
"Oh, I didn't expect you to have those interviews so soon…"Jane mumbled sitting up in bed, unsettled.
"Well considering that I found my replacement I figured it was time to take care of this as well, but don't worry Dr Cavanaugh isn't leaving her position for another 6 weeks, so I'm sure I will have free time to spend with you once I move ."
"I hope so, getting you settled will take time...God I can't believe you're already moving, I mean I thought you wouldn't be coming for another months or so..."
"Well I thought it would take me longer to find the perfect replacement, do you want me to postpone everything?"Seeing how unsettled and worried Jane appeared to be Maura knew that pushing her wasn't the solution.
"Of course not, if you feel comfortable moving in a couple of weeks I will be happy to help you make it happen. I just need time to realize it's really happening you know..."
"I understand, moving in together is usally a big step in a relationship but it's even a bigger one when you never lived in the same city before."
"It is, but I'm not worried, you and I are going to be just fine."Jane smiled pushing Maura back on her pillow.
"And Bass..." Maura replied her finger on Jane's lips.
"He's coming?" Jane asked rising her eye brows.
"Did you expect me to leave him in New-York?"
"Of course not, I just didn't really think about him, but it's cool, I like him, but my apartment is much smaller than yours."
"Well don't worry he doesn't need much space, actually he usually stays in my kitchen and only moves around a little bit when he wakes up. I'm sorry we should have talked about him."
"Hey, I said it's not a problem. I know he's your best friend and that you love him very much."
"He's my faithful pet tortoise but you're my best friend Jane." Maura said pulling her against her.
A few hours later after taking a quick shower and dressing up a bit Maura was ready to meet her mother for lunch. A bit early Maura started to rehearsed what was she going to say to her mother to explain her relationship with Jane and her desire to move to Boston. A few minutes later Constance Isles finally arrived.
"Maura, you look well." Constance said walking towards the table.
"Mother, I'm so glad that you're here." Maura sighed rushing in her mother's arsm.
"Of course I'm here, where else would I be?"Holding her daughter in her arms, sharing this emotional moment with her Constance started to realize how much she had missed in the past 30 years and knew it was time to make up for her past mistakes.
Sitting at their tables, not knowing where to start both women also realized that gap that was separating them, it was so deep that they were unable to start a real conversation.
"So Jane told me you saw her a few days ago." Maura started sitting up straight on her chair.
"Yes, forgive me for talking to her first. I just..." Unable to fine the proper words Constance was once again unable to express her feelings.
"You what?You thought you couldn't talk to me?" Maura replied rising her voice.
"Yes. I didn't know if you were ready to see me and to talk about what happened, that's why I decided to talk to Jane first." Constance said lowering her eyes, avoiding Maura's look.
"I understand, but you're here now and it's all that mattered." Maura replied more quietly, holding her mother's hand, she knew that this probably the occasions she has been waiting for all her life to finally connect with her mother.
"Yes I am, so tell me more about that Detective of yours."
"Well she's the best thing that ever happened to me. She's loyal, loving, supportive. I'm very lucky to have her." Maura replied stars in her eyes.
"After speaking to her I have no doubts she truly loves you, but don't you think it's a bit soon to move to Boston, I mean it's only been to months, it's not like to you act so..."
"Irrationally?I admit it, moving to Boston is the most impulsive thing I have ever done, even more than going to Congo, but I love her mother. For the first time of my life I decided to listen to my heart and my guts rather than my brain. And what my heart is telling me is that Jane is the one and I don't want to to anything to compromise what we have."
"I understand, I just wanted to make sure you have considered your decision, but I trust your judgement Maura. I always have."
"I know mother, you know it's true that we have only been dating for two months, but it seems like we've been together for ever and every time we have to split I feel...I feel I'm dying inside a little bit. I can't imagine spending another birthday, Christmas or thanksgiving away from her. I hope you understand."
"I do. What you feel for each other is rare and you must do what ever it takes to protect it."
For the next two hours Maura and her mother had a true open heart conversation. Constance gave her marital advice and asked her dozens of questions about Jane, to be sure she was the right person for her only daughter. Maura was finally able to share her projects with her mother, to tell her how Jane rearranged her bedroom and how her family welcomed her with opened arms. Obviously Maura was thrilled to finally share something important with her mother but couldn't help but feeling sad that her father wasn't here to share this important moment with them. As much as Maura loved her father she was started to accept the fact that he might never come around. Luckily for the first time in years the two women were actually sharing a deep intense mother/daughter moment and were determined to make it the first of a long list.
So guys, I had an issue with this chapter, I had to rewrite it so it's not as good as it was supposed to be!
Anyway enjoy fucking Rizzoli and Isles tonight!I'm gonna wake up very early to watch it before going to work(can't wait for tomorrow night lol)
As always even if this was a transitional chapter I would like some feedback.
I mentioned Bass because someone mentioned him in a review and I actually forgot about him :(
I think the next few chapters are going to be fun...City mouse meets country mice maybe...I don't know I don't want to spoil you!
