Later the next night they both get a call out. Jane groan after hanging up her phone she loved her job but hated to leave Ethan. She felt like she was taking advantage of her mother. She knew in her heart that, that wasnt the case, her mother loved spending time with her grandson but Jane still left bad about it.
"Come on babe." Maura pleads with Jane. "Get up you are going to make us late." "Maaura." Jane says back. "Jane!" Maura says once more with a smile. Jane laughs and quickly grabs her wife and pulls her back into bed. "Just a few more minutes baby." "Jane Rizzoli you are something else." Maura says with a big grin she turns over placing her lips on her wife's. Maura stops momentarily and whispers in Jane's ear. "If you hurry and get up now you can take a shower with me." Jane shot out of bed and ran into the bathroom. Maura couldn't help but laugh at her wife's antics. "You coming or what Maur?" Jane yelled from the bathroom. "God yes babe I'm coming." Maura said still laughing.
Jane and Maura arrived at the scene only to be stopped by Frankie. "What's going on Frankie?" Jane asked curious as to why he stopped them before entering the crime scene. "Jane, Maura." Frankie says then stops. "Uh it seems the victim is uh. "Oh for fuck sake spit it out Frankie!" Jane says. "Jane!." Maura reprimanded her wife. "I'm sorry Frankie what were you saying?" Maura says giving her wife a serious look.
"Well it seems that our victim is Corporal Adam Jackson 32 served two tours in Afghanistan was recently discharged a few years ago." Maura looked at Frankie a little confused. "Why did you stop me I could be looking him over. " Maura says. Jane is trying to figure out why this man's name sounds so familiar. "Oh my god." Jane says grabbing Mauras arm. "Jane, what is it? Do you know him?" Maura asked concerned for her wife.
"Babe, he was- he was part of my fireteam in Afghanistan we got discharged together." Jane says to shocked to cry. "Oh god Jane, I'm so sorry." Maura says trying to comfort her wife. "Thats the not the only reason why I stopped you two." Frankie spoke up. "Walk with me." He says." Jane and Maura follow Frankie to a squad car and he opens the back door to a small little girl. Maura gasped.
"This is Harper." Frankie says smiling at the child. "Shes 8 years old, isnt that right Harper?" Frankie asked the child. "Y-yes." The small voice siad. After introducing Jane and Maura to Harper Frankie pulls them aside. "It seems that her father is the only family she has here in Boston we are going to try and locate her mother or other family members tomorrow." "Would you mind." Frankie pauses. "Would you two mind." Jane cuts him off. "We wouldn't mind taking her for a night or two until you find her family." Jane says smiling at her wife. "Of course we will take her home poor thing." Maura says walking back over to the squad car to speak to the little girl.
Jane turns back to Frankie. "What happen to him?" Jane ask matter a factly still in disbelief. "Well from what Dr.Pike has stated is he was shot with a 7.mm." Frankie states. "Wait a damn minute." Jane says angrily ." He was snipped?!" Jane asked. "Seems that way." "I'm sorry Janie. " Frankie says placing his hand on his sisters shoulder before walking away. Jane and Maura arrive back home with Harper a little while later.
"Let's get her settled and then you and I can talk okay sweetie?" Maura says to Jane. "Yeah sure babe." Jane replys. Maura takes care of running a bath for Harper and Jane situates the guestroom for her to sleep in. Jane makes sure to plug in a nightlight and an extra monitor just incase Harper gets scared. Once bath time is over Jane and Maura tuck Harper in. "Could you read me a story?" The sweet voice asked with big green eyes looking up at the honey blonde. "Maura smiles at Jane. "Let's ask Jane what book she thinks is the best, she knows them all!" Maura says dabbing the little girl on her nose.
"Do you really know them all?!" She asked Jane excitedly. Jane tried to stifle a chuckle. "I sure do Harper." Jane says grabbing green eggs and ham. "How about this one?" Jane ask showing Harper the cover. Harper gasped. "Yes! That's my favorite!" She squeals in excitement. "How did you know?" She ask Jane. "Well I'm a good guesser." Jane smiles giving Harper a wink. As Jane reads to Harper Maura makes her way downstairs to make them some tea. It wasnt long after that Jane followed.
"Is she asleep already?" Maura asked. "Yeah, she is poor girl had a really horrible night." Jane says with a sigh rubbing the back of her neck. Maura walks over and places Jane's cup of tea infront of her then steps behind her to wrap her arms around her wife's neck. "I'm sorry my love." "I know it cant be easy seeing someone you served with like that." Maura says placing a kiss to Jane's cheek. "Thank you baby, I just cant believe that he severed to protect the very people or person that did this to him." Jane says resting her head against her wife's. "I just hope we can find this person and make them pay." Jane says clinching and un clinching her jaw.
A tell she has that Maura always noticed. "Jane love why don't we go lay down for the night and relax." "Tomorrow is another day." "I promise you we will find the asshat that did this." Maura says trying to be serious but hold back her laughter. "Did you...Did you just say asshat?" Jane said laughing. "O man!" "I am a bad influence on you." "Yes you are Jane Clementine Rizzoli but I love you and you have brought me to a place where I dont have to feel ashamed for using words like that." Maura says placing there cups in the dishwasher.
"I love you too Mrs. Rizzoli." Jane says taking her wife's hand and pulling her close to place a sweet, tender kiss on her lips. "Now let's get to bed so we can catch this "asshat" as you so beautiful worded it." "And get some sleep before little miss wakes up." Jane says smiling. "You are something else babe." Maura says chuckling. "Yes, yes I am." Jane replys with a grin.
