It was Sunday afternoon. Maura was at work, because she was on call for this weekend. Therefore, Jane had slept in, eaten some breakfast, done her 5k of running and done some homework. She was sitting at the pizza place, waiting for Amber and the woman she was in love with to show up.

Two weeks had passed since the beginning of the school and it was getting noticeable colder. Therefore Jane had chosen a booth instead of their favorite table in the garden. Not much had happened in Ambers love live and Jane had suggested that they could meet up that she could make herself a picture of the girl.

She waved them over as she saw them entering the place.

"This is Katie. Katie this is Jane." Amber introduced them to each other. Jane noticed that Katie chose to sit next to the girl with the auburn hair, so she was facing them both. They ordered their usual and some soda, Katie going along with their order. The brunette noticed that she was nervous.

The brunette recognized the girl which was sitting next to Amber from her classes at BCU.

"Your studying the same subject as I do." She tried to melt the ice between them. Katie nodded. "I thought that I saw you before." They started to talk about their professors and some courses, warming up to each other.

When Katie left for the bathroom later, Jane saw a questioning look in Ambers eyes. "She's nice, isn't she?" Amber whispered, although Katie couldn't hear them.

"Yeah, she is." Jane confirmed with a smile. "But I'm not sure if she's gay or bi or straight. I wasn't with Maura. So that doesn't mean anything." She added the last sentence to reassure Amber. "You already have it bad for her, haven't you?" Jane laughed softly, when seeing the furrowed eyebrows.

"Have you tried to ask if she's seeing someone? This would start a talk about the topic and might give you some clues."

"I did, but she didn't really want to talk about it She just said, that she's seeing no one right now."

"Does she touch you or sit close to you often, like she did earlier?"

"Yes, but whenever I try to make a move, she shuts me out and takes a few steps back." Amber looked worried.

"Sounds complicated." Jane hummed and played with the soda can in her hand while thinking.

"Why don't you talk to her and just ask her. Tell her how you feel. You can also wait, but then the game could last forever."

They changed topic as Katie came back from the bathroom, Jane picking up her phone when seeing that Maura was calling. "I'm sitting at Giovanni's with Katie and Amber. Would you like to join us?" she asked, grinning happily when the blonde stated that she would be there in 15 minutes.

"Hey babe." Jane greeted Maura, who bent down to give the brunette a quick kiss before going to the bathroom to wash her hands.

"What?" she asked when turning her face back to the girls which were sitting across from her in the booth after watching Maura leave.

"I've never seen such a sheepish grin on you like when you watched her go to the toilet. This is so cute." Amber said, with a grin. The grin was teasing but Jane knew that she was really in awe.

"Oh, stop it please!" Jane said with a gesture that meant to brush it away.

"Your wife is the chief ME of Massachutset." Katie mumbled stunned.

"Uhm, yeah." Jane shrugged.

"Guys, you realize that we could all work together one day? Katie as a lawyer, Jane and me as officers or detectives, and Dr. Isles as ME. It would be great!" Amber announced in excitement.

Maura slipped into the booth next to Jane when she came back. Leaving another kiss on the brunettes' lips. Jane noticed how both girls watched them. "What do you want to have, babe?" Jane asked Maura after clearing her throat.

The blonde ordered some mineral water and a pizza with vegetables which made Jane smirk. "Not stealing any of your food, be assured." She teased Maura who laughed.

Katie and Amber first asked Maura a lot of questions about her job. Jane hitched a breath when Katie asked: "Did you always want to cut open dead people." Maura nodded. "I always wanted to help people who weren't able to speak for themselves anymore. It's a very satisfying job." They all nodded, this seemed to be the goal of all of them.

After some shop talk, they moved to other subjects, finally coming to their relationship and the topic of being gay. Jane gave a short kick to Ambers leg, who didn't quite catch the hint. The brunette rolled her eyes.

"I'm actually gay too, but I haven't come out to my parents yet. Some people know though." Katie said to their surprise nonchalantly. "You are?" Amber turned to face the woman next to her.

"Yes." Katie shrugged.

"I'm gay too." Amber whispered. "But I only came out to Jane so far."

Jane tried to hide behind her glass of iced tea, which she had just received from the waiter. A grin was covering her face. But she didn't have to worry about anyone glancing at her because Amber and Katie were locking eyes after studying each other for a while. Maura chuckled softly and squeezed Janes thigh under the table.

"Maybe we should leave them alone." She whispered into the brunette's ears and Jane nodded.

"Uhm guys, we have to go home now. You two stay and have fun. We will see each other in class tomorrow."

There was not much of a reaction from the other side of the booth, they stood to pay. After a short wave they left, driving home.

"Do you think they'll get together?" Jane asked when they were laying comfortable on the couch, watching some TV show. Maura glanced at Jane. "I think they will. They make a perfect match from what I've seen. And they are so sweet. This reminded me of our beginning."

"Thank you for coming. I liked it." Jane said, changing the topic.

Maura softly put a strand of dark hair behind Janes ears. "Thanks for inviting me. That way I could be part of your life."

Both sighed simultaneously, laughing at the fact. Focusing on the show, caressing and holding each other. Jane thought that she could lay like this forever. She silently gasped in surprise when she felt Maura's soft lips kissing her pulse point, knowing the arousing effect this had on Jane.

The brunette enjoyed her doing, closing her eyes. Before turning off the TV. "Take me to bed, Maur." she moaned, and the blonde did so. By the way she was already breathing fast, Jane knew that her wife was aroused too. They made love. It was soft and slow, each cherishing the others delicate features. Exhausted from a long week and day, they finally fell asleep in each other's arms.
