So here's the last chapter for the night. For the record, I took bio AGES ago and so I'm not able to remember the inheritance of blood types. I probably got it wrong but it was necessary for this particular chapter. If I messed up, please overlook it;)


"Come on love, we have to get moving. If we don't get up now we're going to be late for work."

Maura and Jane were tangled up in bed. They'd woken up a couple of hours before and had decided not continue sleep, instead making better use of their time.

"I don't want to get up Maur. I don't want to go to work today."

"What do you mean? I don't think I've ever heard you say that Jane. Are you alright?" Maura asked, worried.

"I'm fine. I'm just a little tired I guess… and I can think of something I'd much rather be doing than work," she said as she started kissing Maura again.

Maura chuckled against Jane's lips. "Ok love, once more… but after that we are definitely getting up. We need to shower and get ready! We're going to be late as it is."

"I'll only get up if we shower together," Jane said, an evil grin on face.

Maura pretended to think about it for a minute. "Ok, I suppose we can do that," she replied, trying to sound nonchalant.

"Yay! I win!" Jane said, and moved on top of Maura, ready for another round.


Jane went downstairs to get the coffee going while Maura finished getting dressed. Her phone rang, bringing her out of her short daydream.

"Rizzoli" she answered without looking at the caller ID.

"Jane, it's me."

"Korsak, I'm just on my way in; I'm sorry I'm running a little late."

"I'm sorry to do it this way Jane, but there's no time. There was an explosion at headquarters…"

"What?! When?! Is everyone ok?!"

Maura raced down the stairs as soon as she heard Jane's frantic voice. "Jane what's the matter?"

Jane lifted up a hand to silence her. "Explosion at headquarters," she said quickly.

"We have several casualties, a lot of people injured."

"How are you and Frost? Have you seen Frankie or ma?" she asked frantically.

"Frost and I are fine Jane, the explosion was downstairs close to the café. Angela got some cuts and bruises but Frankie doesn't look good… he's on his way to the Boston General; Angela is with him."

"I'm on my way over there. Please keep me posted Korsak."

"I will Jane. I will get to the hospital as soon as I can; we have a lot to do here."

"Ok, we'll be in touch," Jane said as she hung up the phone. "There was an explosion at headquarters… Frankie got hurt badly from what Korsak is telling me. I gotta get to the hospital."

"Let's go, I'll drive us."

"Maura there's been a lot of deaths and people injured. You should go to headquarters and help," Jane replied.

"No Jane, I'm going with you. I'm not leaving you alone at a time like this. Frankie needs us."

Jane nodded quickly. "Let's go," she said before hurrying out of the house and to the hospital.


The hospital was completely overcrowded. Ambulance after ambulance came through emergency with people being wheeled into surgery and emergency triage left and right. Jane and Maura ran into the hospital and began looking for any sign of Angela.

"Ma!" Jane said as she spotted Angela in the waiting room.

"Jane!" Angela cried as she hugged her daughter.

"What happened to Frankie ma? How is he?"

"He's in surgery. He was in the café having breakfast and there was an explosion. He took a hard hit. The doctor told me he lost a lot of blood. I don't know what to do Jane!"

"He's going to be ok ma, I know he is," Jane said as she hugged the older woman to her.

Maura tentatively took a few steps and greeted Angela with a hug. "I'm sure he's going to be fine Angela. Frankie's a fighter, you know that. He's strong and healthy. He'll pull through," she said.

"Thank you Maura," replied Angela through her tears.

A doctor came rushing into the waiting room.

"Family of Francesco Rizzoli?" he called out.

"That's us!" Jane cried.

"Mr. Rizzoli is still in surgery but he is in critical condition. With the overflow of victims we have coming in, the blood bank has run short of supply and we're in need of blood. He needs a transfusion now or I'm afraid he's not going to make it."

"Oh my God!" Angela cried.

"What blood type is he?" Jane asked.

"He's B negative," Angela replied quickly. "I'm not a donor," she said in between sobs.

"I'm O negative doctor. I'll donate the necessary blood," Maura replied.

"Good. There isn't any time, please follow me," he said before he turned and began rushing out of the room.

Maura took a quick look at Jane and nodded before rushing after the doctor.

The two Rizzoli women could do nothing but sit, pray and wait. About an hour after Maura had gone, another nurse came by asking for Jane.

"Jane Rizzoli?" she called out.

"Yes?" Jane said rising instantly.

"Dr. Isles has finished her donation but is going to be kept for observation. She donated a lot of blood and we just want to make sure she's rested and well enough before we release her."

"Good, thank you. Do you know the status of my brother? Francesco Rizzoli?" she asked.

"They're still operating on him, but it he's now in a stable condition. A doctor will come out to inform you as soon as he's done with surgery."

"Thank you nurse," Jane replied.

"Nurse?" Angela called out.

"Yes?" the nurse turned her attention to Angela.

"Can I see Dr. Isles?" Angela asked.

Jane turned to look at her mother, surprise evident on her face.

"Yes, please follow me."

"I'd like to come too if that's ok," Jane called out.

"That would be alright. Please come with me," she said as she turned and walked out of the waiting room. She directed them to another floor and into an examination room where Maura lay in a half sitting position, eyes closed and resting.

"Hey Maur, how do you feel?" Jane asked as she came inside and kissed her fiancée on the forehead and held her hand.

Maura looked at Jane and then did a double take when Angela came into the room right behind her. "I'm fine Jane. They just want to keep me for a little while. They took two pints, which is a larger donation than usual but I'll be ok. How's Frankie? Have they updated you yet?" she asked.

"He's still in surgery but he's stable now. It looks like he's going to be ok," Jane said with a smile at her.

"Maura…" Angela began.

Maura turned her attention to the older woman. Angela came up to the bed and hugged the blonde with all her might. "I have no way to thank you for what you did today… I owe you my son's life. Thank you!"

Maura hugged Angela back with as much energy as she could muster. "You have nothing to thank me for Angela. Frankie is like a brother to me, and I love him. I'm just glad that I was able to help."

"I'm sorry, so sorry for the way I've treated you. I misjudged and jumped to conclusions. I know I don't deserve your forgiveness for the way I've behaved, but I ask that you please try. I'm thankful to God for having you in our lives. And I won't get in the way of you and Jane any longer. You are a good, woman Maura. I'm sorry I turned my back on you, and you Jane," she said as she looked at her daughter. "I'm so sorry girls. Please forgive me."

Jane went around the bed and wrapped her mother into a hug. "Of course we forgive you ma," Jane hugged her mother once again and then turned to Maura to have her join in the hug as well.


So we have Maura being her usual selfless self and a thankful Angela. Will this really get her to make amends? Let me hear it!=)
