Jane and Maura married two years after the Avengers: Endgame premiere. They agreed on a small ceremony with only friends and family. It was held at Maura's mansion, their mansion, as Jane moved in only a year into their relationship.

Jane instantly started crying when Maura and her dad began walking down the aisle. Honestly, she never thought she would find anyone who would put up with her lifestyle as a cop. Not that it was easy, but they made it work because they loved each other.

Jane never thought she would love anyone so deeply that she felt it in her bones and in her veins. She didn't think it was possible to feel that way about someone else. Only something that could be found in romcom movies and fairytales. But, watching a real life princess walk towards her and realizing she gets to spend the rest of her life with her, she knows she's in a fairytale.

Maura never thought she would find a woman that would be able to be in the spotlight with her. Every other person she got close to before has run at the first sight of a camera. Not Jane, sure it took some getting used to but turns out she knows how to work a camera. The fans adored Jane from the moment the E! News interview was released. They instantly commented on the love in their eyes for each other, which encouraged the women to confess that they did love each other.

Jane proposed to Maura on the beach under the stars. They went out for a late dinner picnic where Jane had set up a giant blanket and candles with wine and some french food Jane would never be able to pronounce.

After dinner they laid on the blanket and watched the stars twinkle in the night sky. Jane every so often pointed out a constellation she totally wasn't googling just to impress her girlfriend. She had just finished telling the story behind Cassiopeia when a shooting star floated across the sky.

"Make a wish my love." Jane whispered sweetly.

"I wish to feel this way, with you, forever." was the other woman's reply, which was all Jane needed. She reached into the picnic basket and felt around for the small black velvet box hidden in a napkin. Sitting up on her knees, she looked at Maura with all the seriousness and love she could and whispered "Me too."

They settled into married life easily. There wasn't much different from dating, or even being engaged. Jane often caught Maura staring at the diamond on her finger with a small content smile on her face that warmed Jane's heart.

But still something seemed missing. They had a giant house, a mansion, and everything they could ever dream of, and the money to buy things they didn't have. Yet, neither could shake the feeling that something wasn't right.

They had discussed moving, downsizing into a house more fit for two people. The Isles' even looked at a few houses, closer to Angela, who was more than supportive of their move.

It wasn't until they were about to put an offer on a four bedroom house when Jane realized exactly what was missing in their lives.

It was a hard case. They were called to a house in a nice area of the Hills, a neighborhood they hadn't been called to in a long time. They walked into a scene that would stick with Jane for the rest of her life. It had been a murder suicide, a violent and bloody one. An abusive alcoholic husband had stabbed his wife after she threatened to leave with the kids, then killed himself, all in front of their six year old twins.

The kids wouldn't leave Jane's side. She was the only woman on her team and they were terrified of men. She knew they would be sent to a foster home and more than likely separated in the system. The thought broke Jane's heart so she did something questionable without even thinking of her wife's reaction.

It took a few months. A few long months. For both the children and the new parents. The adults didn't know how to act around the fragile kids. The children, still broken from all they went through, nervous and shy. It took them a week to actually speak.

It happened slowly. Their son, Trenton, began crawling into their bed at night, handing Maura a book for her to read to him. He'd snuggle into her and before the end of the book he'd be sleeping soundly, small hand holding onto Maura's wrist.

Their daughter, Alexandria, bonded with Frankie after Jane convinced her she could beat him in basketball. Alex picked up on the sport quickly. She was similar to Jane, in her tomboyish ways. She loved roughhousing with her mother and uncles and absolutely adored baseball.

Maura's next major film was a Disney movie as a supporting character. Regardless, the kids were excited to watch it and they made the decision to take the kids to the premiere. Jane had convinced the twins to do Maura's least favorite pose, the Charlie's Angels pose.

They quickly replaced the photo of Jane and Maura above the couch with the one of all four of them. The kids had been a blessing. They were the missing puzzle piece in Jane and Maura's lives.

If someone would have asked Maura five years ago where she would be now, she would have said her future looked bleak. Nothing special, alone, throwing herself into work to feel any sort of purpose. All she wanted back then was to feel normal. To have a normal life.

As she walked into her bedroom to find her wife and two kids fast asleep, she realized, this was her normal. The feeling in her heart when she looked at her family, this was her normal. This is what she was supposed to be doing with her life.

That night, like every night after that, she fell asleep with a smile on her face. She had acted out so many happy endings in movies, it was about time she got one in real life.
