Later:

"Jane?" Maura asked as her body still hummed from Jane's adventure onto and into her body. Oh, how she loved Jane's explorative nature. Maura heard a hum from the side. Maura shifted from where she lay and came face to face, breast to breast, and pelvis to pelvis with Jane. Jane smiled softly at the contact and Maura cupped Jane's cheek.

"I was replaying our chat in the hospital," Maura said, and Jane tensed but she continued, "I want to make sure I am not just a fuck to you either," Maura whispered. She expected Jane to be furious. She expected her to hop from the bed, and pace and run her hand through her lush curly brown locks. But Jane only pulled Maura to her. It was four days since Jane left the hospital. Jane only left once and that was to pick up more bandages for she shoulder. It was weeping and Maura wanted to keep changing the bandages just to be sure.

Jane kissed her slowly, softly, and deeply. Maura didn't see her hand creep to the bedside table. Maura broke from Jane's lips and looked to the drawer. Jane watched Maura's face, as she pulled a small velvet pouch from the drawer, then gave it to Maura. Maura's throat closed.

"Jane, a simple verbal confirmation would have been sufficient," Maura said smoothly but her heartbeat 140 beats a minute. Jane simply shrugged as she sat up and away from Maura. Maura looked at Jane. She was nervous, fidgety, and wasn't sure at all how Maura would take this gift.

"I wasn't sure of who I would fallen in love with. Never in a million years had I thought I would fall in love with you, but there was always a hope," Jane began, and Maura twisted the strings of the bag yet to open it. Jane took it and watched as Maura let it go and watched every shift, and expression of Jane's face and she sat on the bed before her looking from a cross legged position while Maura laid on her back.

"Whether it was in friendship, a deep resonating friendship, so strong it survived me shooting your dad, so strong it could survive anything I would be there for you. We would be there for each other. But…" Jane slipped her fingers into the bag and pulled out a band, but didn't take Maura's hand, "If you were to take me a lover, and then maybe more I would have been proud to give this to you knowing you are mine and I am yours," Jane looked down at the ring, "depending on which hand you where it on and what way the heart points indicates how the ring is intended. Maura, I will give you choice. There are four ways to wear this ring: if you are single you wear the ring on the right hand with the heart facing outward from your body. I you are in a relationship you wear the ring on the right hand with the heart facing inwards. If you are engaged, you would wear the ring on the lift hand on the ring finger with the heart pointing outwards. If you are wedded you wear the ring on the left hand on the ring finger with the heart pointing inwards," Jane paused and then too Maura's hand.

She placed a quaint, and simple ring in her palm.

"Claddagh ring, dates back to the 17th century…" Maura said as she began her spew of facts the looked up at Jane's adoring smile, but the nervousness pinched about her eyes. "I have the choice you say, right?" Maura asked and Jane nodded, "No expectations, not sad puppy face if I choose one way or another right?" Jane swallowed and schooled her features and nodded. Maura nodded and took the ring looked at it.

She looked up into Jane's eyes and sat up taking Jane's lips into an unexpected kiss as she brought her hands around Jane. The kiss was heated, yet gently, then tapered off into nips and sucks of the other lips. Jane's eyes stayed closed. The ring must have been taken the wrong way. The Maura swung from the beg and stood.

"I think a shower would be divine, wouldn't you?" Maura reached out to help Jane from the bed. Jane took the hand and stood but she felt metal where it wasn't before. She turned over the hand. Found the ring on the ring finger of… Jane calculated… yup the left hand. The heart was pointed out. Engaged. They were fucking engaged.

"Do this mean… what I think it does?" Jane blinked looking down.

"Do you think you can do this forever?" Maura asked holding Jane's hand. Jane pulled Maura and kissed her, hands down Maura's, oh she wished she could explore them once again.

"I think a shower would be divine as you have said, love," Jane said against Maura's smiling lips. Jane took off for the shower. Maura shook her head. It would never be boring with Jane Rizzoli….. Jane Isles-Rizzoli….. Jane Isles…..Jane Rizzoli-Isles…. BAH! Whatever. It would never be boring with Jane in her life. She couldn't imagine a world with out her in it. But the thought of being married to Jane sent a tingle up her spine.

"Are you coming?" Jane's husky voice beckoned from the bathroom. Maura swallowed and felt her insides curl, and a heat pool in the bottom of her stomach, and was not afraid to admit to Jane, she grew moist, and ready at the idea of a forever with her detective.
