Ok guys, so thanks for the suggestions but none of you guess right!Anyway I put my heart in this chapter to review like crazy!

Chapter 36:

The proposal:

It was monday morning and Angela and Maura had checked out early because Maura was eager to go back home to Jane.

Neither women were working on that day so they could spend some time together after 10 days without barely seeing each other.

When Maura finally got home she found Jane sleeping on the couch with Bass next to her.

She couldn't bring herself to wake her up. She knew that she must have been exhausted to pass out on the couch like that.

Watching her sleep, gently caressing her cheek Maura couldn't help but picturing her future life together : their wedding, the whole process of having a child together. Thinking about the future always scared Maura, because every time she tried to picture what her life might be in 30 years , she always imagined it lonely filled up with work and social events.

But ever since she started dating Jane, her dreams about her future were filled up with laughs, adventure, children.

She simply started to live like anybody else and allow herself to dream and hope and that was the best feeling in the world.

"Maura?You're back?What time is it?" Jane mumbled as she opened her eyes.

"It's almost 10, I came back a few minutes ago." Maura replied leaning over.

"I missed you so much….." Jane confessed pulling her girlfriend towards her.

"I missed you too, but I see my Bass kept you company."

" I think you can start calling him our Bass. I spent the last 3 nights on the couch because he would wake me up at night trying to climb the stairs." Jane explained.

"Really? You should have called me." Maura said scratching Bass's head.

"He's ok, the vet came and said he was just missing you, so I tried to come back early from home and I slept with him."

"You called the vet, Oh babe, thank you, well I usually don't let him alone for so long, but he was in good hands with you."

"Sure he was. I think that after all this time he finally accepted me."

"So do we have plans for today?" Maura asked hoping that Jane would just rip her clothes off right here right now on the living room's floor.

It had been 10 days since Christmas, meaning 10 days since they had sex and that was a record for them.

"Come on let's go I have a place I want to take you." Jane said out of the couch.

"Really, I was expecting us to spend the day at home with you…you know quiet day in bed," Maura groaned a little disappointed.

"Don't worry this won't take long and when we get home I will…well that's a surprise too. Come on." Jane insisted dragging Maura towards the door.

After about 30 minutes of driving Maura finally spoke:

"Can you tell where you taking me?" Maura asked .

"Yes, we my dear are going to the aquarium , I figured after all the Christmas Craziness we could use a quiet time in a quiet place you know." Jane explained trying to breath and not show how nervous she was. She wanted to surprise Maura.

"And I certainly appreciate the thought, I have to admit that even if I enjoyed spending 3 days with your mother it was a bit stressful for me."

"She gave you a hard time?"

"No, of course not, she just asked me many questions but she also gave me great advice. You mother is a wonderful woman. "

A few minutes later the two women arrived to the place where it all started for them.

"Do you remember the first I took you here?" Jane innocently asked while leading Maura to "their spot".

"Of course, it was on our second date. It was the first time you told me about your nightmares , you finally opened up to me that night, not to mention …."

"That I kissed you for the first time that night…" Jane finished wrapping her arms around Maura.

"Yes, I might be too romantic but this place means a lot to me."

"It does to me too. I remember rehearsing for hours to find the proper way to say what I wanted to say to you. Obviously nothing went as planned but I opened up to you that night it's all that matters right?"

"Of course I didn't want or need to hear a well prepared speech, I wanted to hear you speak from your heart and that's what you gave me."

"I know and trust me I was scared to death and I remember saying to myself "Please god make her stay until the end…"You know I was scared that you might freak out and decide that you didn't want to be with someone as damaged as me. But you didn't, you held my hand told me everything would be ok and you took me home with you. "

"I meant what I said Jane, I'm here and I'm not going anywhere without you." Maura whispered turning around to face her wonderful girlfriend.

"I know, as crazy as it sounds I knew from that moment that I was going to spend the rest of my life with you for the better or for worse until death do us part."

"Oh Jane…" Maura murmured foreseeing what was going to happen.

"What I m trying to say..." Jane mumbled kneeling in front her girlfriend and taking out a small box of her jacket.

"Oh Jane…" Maura said tears already filling up her eyes.

"I love you Maura , I always have and I always will. I love you so much that I don't even have words to express it. Maybe we're soul mates or maybe we were already in love in previous lives. All I know is that when I met you I was damaged, I was dead inside, but you brought me back to life. You took care of me, you loved me unconditionally you accepted me with all my flows and insecurities, you forgave me when I screwed up. I owe you my life, you saved me in more ways you can possibly imagine. I want to wake up every morning with you in my arms and watch you sleep and I want to go to bed next to you every night for the rest of my life. Doctor Maura Isles would you…."

"Yes …" Maura screamed without letting Jane finish.

"Really Maura?Oh god woman, just let me finish.." Jane groaned.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Maura apologized.

"Where was I?" Jane nervously mumbled.

"You were about to ask me to marry you…"

"Was I?" Jane teased knowing she was driving Maura crazy.

"Jane please…"Maura begged tears running on her cheeks.

"Alright then... Doctor Maura Isles would you marry me?" Jane finally asked opening the box .

"Yes, Detective I would be honored to become your god Jane, what took you so long?" Maura replied kneeling in front of her girlfriend kissing her passionately.

"I don't know maybe it's payback for driving me crazy." Jane joked putting the ring on Maura's finger.

"Fair enough." Maura agreed, clearly in no condition to argue.

The two woman spent the next hour or so sitting on that bench where everything started dreaming of their future life together.

What was happening here was destiny. Those two women were meant to be together. It didn't matter that they came from two different backgrounds, received two different type of education. They loved each other that all mattered.

People spend their life trying to make their relationships work, but maybe the best way to make it work is simply to unconditionally love each other. It was simple but true .

At that moment as they were hold each other they knew that this was the first minute of the rest of their lives together and that no serial killer, no over protective parents, no natural disaster could ever pull them apart. They would make sure of that.

so guys did you like it?Was it romantic enough?Review like crazy!
