Chapter 29 : Christmas at the Rizzolis :

"So did you enjoy your present?" Maura joked trying to catch her breath.

"Yes I did, you actually just realized one of my fantasy…thank you."

"You're welcome, but this wasn't your present." Maura teased holding her girlfriend close to her.

"It wasn't?" Jane asked looking up to Maura.

"No, well there is still a present waiting for you hidden somewhere home, that you will open on Christmas morning. This was just a little something to keep you waiting."

"Alright then, I certainly appreciate the gesture , and just so you know I also have another present for you to open on Christmas day."

" I know, anyway tell me Jane is there anything I need to know before spending Christmas with your family?" Maura ask ready to take any advice Jane might give her.

"Well the most important thing would be to stop eating right now. I mean you do have a fairly small stomach and if you were sick eating my mom's lasagnas trust me you won't survive Christmas dinner." Jane joked.

"That is very comforting Jane. Well if you think I should restrain from eating in order to keep my stomach empty then I will do it. I certainly don't want to embarrass myself or you for that matter in front of your family."

"Oh babe you won't, but if you want to be part of my family I guess you 're going to have to start to train your stomach. But what I would really want you to do is relax alright? Stop over analyzing this. My family loves you and I can assure you that Christmas is going to be fun, trust me."

"I trust you, do you think they're going to like the presents we got them?"

"I think my dad is going to faint and my brother is going to ask you to adopt him, as for my mom she's going to require that I never let you go."

"I'm sure it's going to be fun. I'm excited. I haven't been excited about Christmas for so long, thank you."

"No, thank you, every year my mother gives me a lecture on how I should find a good guy to marry and to have kids with. thanks to you I won't to endure that anymore."

"You do realize that she's going to divert her attention on Frankie Jr now, right?"

"Oh yes I'm well aware of that, and I'm grateful I won't have to endure the " When I was your age, your father and I…." speech. Anyway you know the good thing about Christmas is that we get to spend the night at my parents' house and sleep in my old bedroom." Jane said imitating her mother's voice.

"Oh I see where this is going, and we are not having sex in your parents' house and even less in your childhood bedroom."

"Oh yes we are and that my dear is not negotiable. Remember a few days ago you told me you will make it up to me anyway I wanted for dragging me all over town for your Christmas, well here is your chance."

Jane and Maura spent most of the next day in bed enjoying their time together. It was only the second time they got to really be alone together. When they were home there was always the possibly of either Jane's mom paying them a surprise visit or being call on a crime scene. Even when they were off they were still technically on call which made it very hard for them to totally relax.

Soon enough it was Christmas dinner time. The couple arrived around 6 pm at the Rizzoli's.

"Crap, I forgot my cell in the car, would you mind getting it for me?" Jane swore as they were about to make their entrance.

"Of course, but you promise me that one of your new years resolution will be to stop swearing." Maura required before going back to the car.

"Ma, Pop, we're here." Jane shouted as she entered her parents' house.

"Finally, you're here, where is Maura?" Angela asked giving her daughter a warm and long hug.

"She's getting something is the car, look guys, there is something I need to ask you before she comes back." Jane seriously stated as she hugged her dad.

"What is it sweetheart?" Frankie Sr asked seeing the worried look on his daughter's face.

"Well I would like you not to talk about me and Maura getting married or having kids, please." Jane almost begged.

"Well doesn't she want to get married ?"Angela asked almost shocked.

"Yes she doe Ma don't worry, she's not just ready yet and I don't want her to feel pressured because she feels like my whole family is waiting for her be ready. So please guys, I'm serious restrain yourself."

"Alright sis, we will behave, don't worry." Frankie Jr replied.

"Did I miss anything ?" Maura suddenly asked standing in the middle of the living room, a little worried to see the worried look on Jane's face.

"No, Jane was just asking her to go easy on you if you pass out before dessert." Frankie Jr joked.

"Well that's very thoughtful of her but I think I will be fine, I haven't eaten since last night and my belly is completely empty."

Dinner went smoothly, Jane's family restrained themselves from saying the "M" word and Maura was having fun.

Then midnight came and it was time to unwrap the present.

"I would like to say that once Jane and I have kids we will start to open presents at 6 am on Christmas morning and that is not negotiable." Maura stated as she settled down in the living room with the rest of the family.

"No we know who the guy is..." Frankie Jr mumbled making fun of Jane's submission in that matter.

"So you want to have kids?" Angela asked waiting for Jane disapproving look.

"Of course I do, well not now, I still want to focus on my career, publish more papers but then when the time comes Jane and I will give you a grand child. I think we enjoy this symbiotic relationship of ours too much to consider it at the moment anyway."

"Exactly, I do not want to have to share you at least for another 5 years minimum." Jane agreed .

"Anyway, this one is for you Maura it's from Jane's dad and I." Angela said handing the fairly large gift to her future daughter in law.

"It's a recipes book…" Maura said surprised.

"It's not a random cooking book, it's a book my grand mother started, then my mother continued to fill it up with her own recipes and so did I. It's been in our family for 3 generations." Angela explained.

"Wow, I don't know what to say, this is too much I…" Maura muttered.

"Don't be ridiculous, you're a Rizzoli now and I want you to have it, God knows that Jane wouldn't have a clue what to do with it."

"Thanks Ma." Jane replied raising her eyebrows at her mom.

"You're welcome darling. What I meant to say is that if you want to spend the rest of your life with my daughter it's important that you learn to cook her favorite meals and desserts until one day it's time to pass it on to your own daughter."

"Thank you Angela, I promise to keep it safe and to do my best to add new recipes."

"Open your present Ma." Jane said seeing her girlfriend getting a little too emotional.

"Alright, oh girls, you shouldn't have…." Angela said opening the envelope containing her present.

"What is it?" Frankie Jr asked.

"It's 3 days and 3 nights at the Hilton resort. " Maura proudly stated.

"Yes ma, you always say you would love to take some vacations away from us, you deserve it, you do so much for us, you deserve to relax, and actually it's for two people so you can bring a friend."

"I would like Maura to come with me then." Angela stated without hesitating for a second.

"Really"?Maura asked surprised.

"Yes, I mean I would like to spend more time alone with you and the fact is that every time you visit us, Jane is with you and I would like to know more about my future daughter in law."

"I understand that when Jane is with me it can me hard or even impossible to ask me any questions , I will be happy to come." Maura accepted touched that Angela was eager to know more about her.

"I' m only trying to protect you, you know that's why I try to keep them from asking you too many questions."

"I know and I love you for that but I would like to spend some quality time with your mother if you see no objection."

"Alright then , if it makes you happy." Jane joked kissing her girlfriend knowing that Maura would have gone even without her consent.

"That' s date." Angela screamed over excited to finally spend some quality time with Maura.

The rest of the distribution went well, Maura and Jane gave Frankie and his dad season tickets to their favorite baseball team which caused Frankie Jr to, as Jane had predicted it, ask Maura to adopt him.

"Alright guys, it's time for some eggnog ." Frankie Jr announced his hands full.

"That's what I talking about, taste that babe, after drinking my Mom's eggnog trust me there is nothing you won't be able to refuse me anything." Jane joked.

"Are you trying to get me drunk in order to receive sexual favors from me?" Maura yelled loud enough so the rest of the family could hear it.

"Maura, that's not what I mean, well maybe…" Jane mumbled embarrassed.

"Jane my dear you're sleeping either on the couch on with your brother tonight." Angela ordered.

"Ma!" Jane objected.

"It's oak Mrs Rizzoli, I actually have a high tolerance to alcohol and besides Jane would never take advantage of me or ask me to do something I don't want , right honey." Maura joked squeezing Jane's thigh.

"Of course not baby, let's drink now and eat some of these delicious cookies."

Everything went smoothly, and around 2 am it was time for the small family to finally go to bed.

"I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't want to embarrassed you." Maura apologized crawling in bed.

"You didn't, actually the more time passes the more you act like a Rizzoli, I like that. Well expect for the fact that my family is going to think that I make you do all sorts of dirty things…" Jane grinned pulling her girlfriend against her.

"When in reality you're always the one putting my desires before your own."

"I didn't mean it like that…" Jane replied.

"I know babe, so anyway do you have any fantasies?" Maura asked….

Yeah I know, you hate me! It's been a while since the last time I teased you right?

I hope this wasn't to painful…
