Maura's POV

Maura couldn't be happier as she slowly woke up from one of the best nights of sleep she had had in a long time. She buried her face in the crook of Jane's neck trying to get as close to her as possible.

"Hmm," Jane hummed as she pulled Maura closer against her body. "Good morning."

"Good morning, Jane," Maura said as she lifted her head to look at her girlfriend.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

"Nooooo," Jane groaned reaching over to turn off the alarm. "I don't want to go to work. I want to stay here in bed with you all day."

Maura giggled softly, "I would like that too, but since you only have two weeks left, you should probably go to work."

Jane rolled her eyes. "I know," she whined.

Maura gave Jane a light shove to get her moving. "We went to bed without washing up or brushing our teeth," she said. "Unless you want to go to work smelling like sex and wine, you need to shower."

"What if I like that smell?" Jane teased, but she got out of bed anyway and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.

While waiting for Jane to finish in the bathroom, Maura pulled Jane's pillow towards her and held it close to her body. Her mind travelled back to the night before. She would never forget the first time Jane made love to her. She could feel herself getting wet at she thought about it. Damn it. Today was going to be a long day, she thought to herself. Sighing, she rolled onto her back as she heard the shower shut off.

"Hmm, I could get used to this view in the morning," Jane said as she leaned against the doorframe. Maura was laying on her back with her chest bare, the sheet bunched around her waist, and her arm draped across her face.

Maura laughed and threw the pillow at Jane.

"Hey!" Jane exclaimed, catching the pillow. She walked over to the bed, leaned over, and gave Maura a quick kiss before turning to her closet to get dressed.

Maura stayed in bed and watched her girlfriend get ready for the day. Girlfriend…she wasn't sure she would ever get used to calling Jane her girlfriend, but she loved it.

"What's with the smile?" Jane asked, drawing Maura from her thoughts.

"I was thinking about how I like calling you my girlfriend," Maura answered honestly. She also liked the grin that spread across Jane's face upon hearing her comment.

"Me too," Jane said. After a pause, Jane said, "I'm going to take the VRE shuttle to and from work today so that you can use the car."

"Are you sure?" Maura asked with a furrowed brow. "If I decide to go anywhere, I can take an Uber or I can drive you to and from work."

"Definitely. Trust me, you don't want to drive me to work or try to get on base at the end of the day to pick me up. The shuttle is fine. Sometimes, I take it just so I can get work done on the commute, so it's not an inconvenience at all," Jane told her.

"Okay," Maura said. "I'll go grocery shopping today, then, and I will get boxes and packing supplies, as well. Are there any things I can pack on my own? I don't want to go through your things or snoop, but I'd like to help."

Jane rolled her eyes and laughed, "Honestly, you can pack whatever you want. As long as you leave out things I'll need over the next two weeks like work clothes or whatever, I don't care. I don't have anything that you can't see – at least not that I remember." Jane laughed nervously but continued, "Besides, I hate packing, so you'd be doing me a favor." She turned back towards Maura, "But please don't think you need to do anything while I'm at work. I'm fine with anything you want to do, but I don't want you to feel like you have to do anything, if that makes sense. If you just want to relax…" Jane trailed off.

Maura smiled at Jane's nervousness, "Jane, I know. I want to help, okay?"

"Okay," Jane confirmed.

"Alright, then, I am going to go make coffee and breakfast while you finish getting ready." Maura found her pajamas from Saturday night and pulled them on before heading to the kitchen. She started the coffee machine and started her search for a suitable breakfast.

Maura shook her head and muttered under her breath, "What am I going to do with you, Jane? Do you have any real food?" She finally found oats in the back of the cupboard that weren't expired yet, probably only because she'd lived here less than a year.

Jane walked out ready for the day just as Maura was putting the oatmeal and coffee on the table. "You're the best!" Jane told Maura as she leaned down to kiss her cheek before sitting down.

"Do you have time to eat before you have to leave to catch the bus?" Maura asked.

"I have a few minutes – not long though. Honestly, you shoved me out of bed much faster than I would normally get up," Jane added with a laugh.

Maura glared at Jane but didn't comment. "Do you have a busy day at work today?" she asked Jane.

"Kinda," Jane said. "The end of the week and next week will be a lot busier though since final exams are next week."

Jane left a few minutes later with a fresh cup of coffee in her travel mug. Maura cleaned up the dishes before heading to take a shower. While she showered, she thought about what she wanted to do while she was in Virginia besides spending as much time as possible with Jane – or more accurately in addition to spending as much time as possible with Jane. Her mind kept going back to last night and what she wanted to do to Jane.

Maura's phone pinged as she was getting out of the shower. She was slightly disappointed when it wasn't a text from Jane, which made her feel a little ridiculous since they hadn't even been apart for an hour.

It was a text from Jane's friend Kate. It was a group message that included Claire and three unknown numbers. Maura assumed they were other people in Jane's friend group.

Kate: Hi Maura, I hope you and Jane had a good rest of your weekend. I wanted to reach out to talk to you about planning a going away party for Jane. I'm not sure what your or Jane's plans are for the week/next weekend, but do you think we might be able to find a day that works?

Maura: Of course! I know she would want to have a chance to say goodbye to all of you, as well. I will make sure that whatever day you pick works for us.

Claire: Great. We'd like to keep it a surprise though, so if that affects the date, can we take that into account?

Maura: Yes, I have plenty of experience manipulating Jane's schedule.

Maura: Sorry, that didn't come across as I intended.

Maura blushed. Of course, she would put her foot in her mouth the first time she texts Jane's friends.

Maura: I would never abuse my friendship with Jane intentionally.

Unknown number 1: Ha ha, Maura, it's okay. We all know Jane…and how whipped she is.

Maura didn't know what whipped meant so she googled it. Her slow response must have made whoever sent the text nervous because she got another response.

Unknown number 1: I was just teasing. She loves you Maura.

Unknown number 2: I think we're straying from the point. I also think this could be a really long conversation if we keep second guessing how everyone is reading the texts. Let's just assume everyone means well.

Maura laughed at the last text. This was something she would say in a group of her own close friends, but it did ease her discomfort.

Maura: I agree. We can make any day work.

Kate: Okay, I'm going to check with a few people and get back to you guys.

Maura: Okay, thank you. Also, I don't know whose numbers are in this group. Could everyone identify themselves? Thank you in advance.

Kate instantly replied by sending the contact cards for everyone in the group and Maura added them to her phone. The three numbers belonged to Laura, Jeff, and Amy.

Maura continued getting ready for the day as she made a mental list of what she needed to get from the store today. She decided she would head to Home Depot to get boxes and packing supplies before heading to the grocery store.

Her phone pinged again as she was getting ready to walk out the door.

Kate: Maura, does Saturday afternoon/evening work? That was the day that the most people were available for. Friday evening wasn't far behind though if that's better.

Maura: Saturday is wonderful.

Kate: Great! I'm gonna let people know informally. Then tonight I'll make a list of what needs to get done and let everyone know.

Maura: Thank you. I would like to help in any way I can.

Maura had a productive day. She ran her errands and still had time to pack quite a bit of Jane's things and make dinner for the two of them. As she made dinner, she couldn't help but think to herself how happy she was. She had always known how much Jane meant to her, but she had underestimated the effect Jane had on her happiness. She was disappointed in herself for letting things with Ian get so far. She never should have kissed him or gone with him in Paris. Maybe this miserable year never would have happened, but maybe they would also still be avoiding their feelings. Maura sighed. Either way she had been foolish, and her actions had hurt the one person she loved more than anyone else.

Jane's POV

Jane was exhausted. Despite telling Maura this morning that today wouldn't be super busy, it ended up being a hectic day. The recruits were clearly stressing about their final exams, and she was held after class by students to answer questions after every class session today. She never even got to eat lunch today. She was tired, hungry, and just wanted to see Maura.

Jane opened the door to her apartment and immediately felt better, her face breaking into a huge smile. The apartment smelled amazing from whatever Maura was cooking, but the sight of Maura in the kitchen swaying slightly along with the music she had playing in the background while she cooked is what she really loved. Jane wasn't one of those people who dreamed of a cliché domestic life; she wasn't against marriage and a family, but she had always been more focused on her career. However, seeing Maura like this, all she wanted was to have this for the rest of her life. She wanted to come home to Maura every day; she wanted to see Maura like this, and she wanted Maura to see her like this when Maura came home from a long day of work to Jane cooking dinner for the two of them.

Jane realized she had been standing in the doorway staring when Maura turned around and gave her a soft smile. Jane closed the door and walked to the kitchen. Wrapping her arms around Maura, she pulled her in for a sweet kiss. "Hey," she whispered.

"Hi, Jane," Maura responded. "Dinner's almost ready. Why don't you go change into something more comfortable and wash up for dinner?"

"Hmm," Jane hummed. "That sounds good, but first…" Jane leaned in and captured Maura's lips in a deep kiss that she hoped conveyed her appreciation. "I love you," Jane added as she pulled away.

"I love you, too, Jane," Maura said. The smile didn't leave her face as Jane left the room.

Maura had plated the food and had everything set up at the table by the time Jane got back. "Beer doesn't really go with dinner, so I hope you're okay with wine," Maura said.

Jane chuckled and teased Maura, "You're the expert." Maura rolled her eyes, but Jane continued, "I hope you know you didn't have to cook, but I'm not going to lie, this is amazing. I'm starving."

Maura laughed, "Let me guess, you forgot about lunch?"

"Maybe," Jane replied.

"I know I didn't have to. I wanted to. I enjoy cooking, and I really enjoy cooking for you." Maura hoped Jane couldn't see the blush creeping up her neck and face as she continued, "I also went grocery shopping and made a meal plan for the week. I figured this weekend we could do the same for next week. Tonight, we're having cedar plank salmon with risotto and a garden salad. I made enough for both of us to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow."

"Well, thank you. It looks great," Jane said. She took a bite and couldn't help the sound that passed her lips, "Mmmm. Wow, Maur. This is amazing."

"Thank you. So how was work?" Maura asked. "You look exhausted."

"Gee, thanks," Jane said sarcastically.

"I didn't mean…" Maura started, but Jane cut her off.

"I know. I'm just teasing you. It was a busy day. The recruits are really starting to stress about finals, so they were all over me today. It's fine though. I don't mind helping them. Honestly, directly helping the students is my favorite part. That's definitely the part I will miss the most."

"You would still get to do that if you worked at the BPD Academy," Maura said.

"True," Jane said. She paused before she continued, "But I think I'm leaning towards the advocate job." Jane said this last part quickly before she looked at Maura to gauge her reaction.

Maura was surprised by this. Her fork stopped halfway to her mouth and she stared at Jane.

Jane cringed internally. "That's not what you were hoping to hear, was it?" she asked.

"No, Jane, no, that's not what I was thinking. Not at all," Maura said quickly. "First, I really want you to choose something you find fulfilling. I could never be disappointed in your decision – unless you made a decision based on what you think I want instead of what you actually want. To be honest, it's just not what I expected you to decide."

Jane laughed, "You thought I'd pick the Academy?"

"I actually thought you'd end up deciding to go back to the force," Maura confessed. "I'd be okay with that too; I hope you know that."

"I appreciate that, Maur, but I think I'm ready for something new," Jane said. Then she laughed, "That probably sounds funny since that was my reasoning for coming to the FBI, but I mean it this time. I want to move away from investigation – even teaching investigation – and do something that feels like I'm helping people more directly. I also love the idea of helping kids. I know it will be hard, especially emotionally, but I think I can handle it. I think I'd be good at it," she added quietly.

Maura beamed, "I think you would be a wonderful child advocate. I've seen you with victim's families and with minor suspects. I've always been humbled by and in awe of your ability to empathize with them, even children who have made grave mistakes. Your…gruff…exterior persona can make it seem like you are skeptical of people – and sometimes you are – but you truly believe that most people, and children in particular, are inherently good."

Now it was Jane's turn to blush. "Thanks," she whispered.

They both ate in silence for a few minutes lost in their own thoughts. Maura was the first to speak again, "So no guns?"

Jane burst out laughing. She hadn't been expecting that. "I don't really think teaching at the Academy is that dangerous, even if people are learning to shoot. But, I guess you are right. This job wouldn't include guns," Jane said. "I do plan to maintain my private permit, though," she added. "I'm not sure I could ever be truly comfortable without some protection."

"I know," Maura assured her. "I never thought otherwise. I know it's silly. Of course, teaching at the Academy is perfectly safe, but something about the advocate position feels safer." Maura shrugged, "I could be wrong, though. Maybe, I should research violent crimes committed against advocates."

Jane chuckled, "Please don't."

Maura joined her laughter, "Sorry, I suppose I got carried away." She sobered before continuing, "I really just want you to be safe."

Jane reached out and grabbed Maura's hand, "I know, love. I know, you do. I want that too. I want both of us to be safe. I think we've had our fair share of danger and tragedy."

Maura gave her a sad smile, "I agree." They got lost in each other's eyes for a few moments before Jane broke the spell when she noticed all the boxes.

Jane quickly looked around the apartment. "Wait, did you basically finish packing while I was at work today?" she asked.

Maura shrugged, "You don't really have much. I packed your memorabilia, movies, and books in the living room. I kept careful track of which books are in which boxes in case you need anything for work, but since most of them were fiction, I thought it was fine to pack them. I also packed up most of the kitchen with the exception of the essentials that we will need over the next two weeks. I didn't do anything in your bedroom or the bathroom, though."

"Jeez, you're efficient," Jane laughed. "I'm not going to have to do anything."

"Oh, you will be helping," Maura assured her with a laugh. "You'll probably end up helping more with unpacking though than packing. I really don't mind having something to do while you are at work." Maura paused, before asking quietly, "Have you thought more about where you want to live?" Maura couldn't look Jane in the eye while she waited for her response. She knew it wasn't unreasonable for Jane to want to live on her own when she moved back to Boston. They had only just started dating, but she would be lying to herself if she didn't admit that she really wanted Jane to move in with her."

Jane watched Maura avoid eye contact for a few seconds before she replied, "I thought about it a lot today actually. It's basically all I thought about on both of my commutes." Jane paused as she tried to read Maura, but Maura was still looking anywhere but at her. "Are you sure you don't want some time on your own after Ian moves out?"

"I don't need time. I already know how much I hate you leaving in the evening. I completely understand, though, if you need time – I know it's technically fast. I also understand if you are uncomfortable with Ian having lived in my house. I don't want you to feel like you are just filling his space because that's not how I feel." Maura chuckled humorlessly, "I think it was quite the opposite. He was trying – and failing – to fill your space. My house only ever felt like a home when you were a part of it."

Jane smiled lightly. "Your house always felt more like home than any of my apartments," she admitted. Finally, Maura met her gaze hopefully. Jane paused, then continued, "I do want to move in together. I really really really hated leaving every night. Would you be open to eventually looking for a new place together?"

Maura's face lit up. "I would love that!" she exclaimed.

"I want to take our time though to find the perfect place – our forever home. It's a little bit about it having been Ian's house for a while, but really it's much more about what I want our future together to look like. In the meantime, if you are sure you're okay with it, I would love to move into your house. Can we maybe get a new mattress though?"

Maura laughed, "Of course. We can get a whole new bed if you want."

"Let's start with a new mattress. Then once we find a house, we can decide if we want a new bed to match the new bedroom or whatever. The mattress will still fit a new bed in a few months."

"I like that idea. We could go to the mattress store this weekend if you want, and the new mattress could be delivered before we get home."

"Honestly, I'm not picky. Every mattress you have ever had has been a million times more comfortable than anything I've had. We can go this weekend, but if there are other things you want to do together, I'd also be fine if you decided on your own."

"If that's the case, I already know my favorite mattress. I don't need to go lay on mattresses that a lot of other people have laid on. Personally, I find that just gross, but I would do it to find a mattress you like," Maura said.

Jane laughed. "I don't think I've ever heard you refer to something as gross. That word is no where near specific enough, Dr. Isles," she teased. "I seriously don't care. Go ahead and order what you like, but we're splitting the cost."

Maura didn't answer and she looked guilty. "I can't afford half of this mattress, can I?" Jane asked.

"Well…" Maura started not knowing what to say. She didn't want to make Jane feel bad, but she wasn't sure if this was something about which she was willing to compromise.

"Maura, it's okay. I get it. We're going to have to figure out the finances of living together and especially buying a house together, but for now, get the mattress you want. I'm planning to sell most of my furniture here, so I'll put all the money I get from selling things, plus $1,000 towards the mattress. I won't get a ton; it isn't high quality stuff. The only nice piece of furniture I have is the couch you bought for me and I was hoping to keep it, maybe put it in one of the secondary rooms in the new house."

Maura smiled warmly, "I think that sounds like a good idea. I actually love that you want to keep the couch. I think it's sweet." She added quickly, "But it's not going in the main living and/or family room."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to mess with your décor," Jane assured her.

"I want it to be your house too. I want both of us to love the whole house but especially the main rooms," Maura said.

"I know, and I appreciate that. And just so you know, I'm not gonna make you settle for a house that isn't up to your standards just because it's what I can afford. We need to talk about the finances, and we need to come up with something we're both comfortable with. I just don't want you to worry. I know I can't afford your lifestyle. Yeah, money makes me uncomfortable. I know you know that about me. I never want you to feel like I'm taking advantage of you or that I care about your money, but somewhere along the line I realized that just as I would never want you to think that I'm with you for your money, it's also not fair to make you live a certain way based on what I can afford. I don't know if that makes any sense, but…" Jane trailed off nervously.

Maura leaned across the table and gave Jane a short kiss. "I love you so much, Jane. What you are saying makes complete sense and it means a lot to me. Trust me, I know you're not with me for my money. I just really don't want money to become a problem for us."

"Me neither," Jane said as she leaned back in for another kiss. "Why don't you go get changed while I do the dishes."

Maura smiled, "Hmm, I like the sound of that. I'm going to wash up and change and I'll meet you in the bedroom?"

"Sounds good," Jane said. She quickly did the dishes before making sure everything was secure and locked for the night. It wasn't late yet, but all she wanted to do was cuddle in bed with Maura and talk. She headed back to the bedroom to join Maura, but when she walked in she stopped in her tracks with her mouth hanging open. "Fuck," she whispered.

"Yes, that is what I had planned," Maura said. Maura was laying on Jane's bed in deep red lingerie looking – in Jane's words – sexy as all hell. Maura raised an eyebrow at the expression on Jane's face. She let out a soft laugh, before whispering, "Are you going to join me?"

Jane quickly walked towards the bed shedding her clothes almost instantaneously in the process.

"Hey, I wanted to do that," Maura pouted.

Jane ignored her, still focused on Maura. "You are beautiful and sexy and just fucking amazing," she whispered reverently.

Maura giggled softly as Jane climbed on top of her. Jane's pupils were almost fully dilated so they looked black as Maura cupped her hands around Jane's face and pulled her into a passionate kiss. Maura moaned loudly into Jane's mouth when Jane settled her full weight on top of Maura. She situated herself so that her thigh pressed in between Maura's legs and Maura's thigh was between her own legs. Jane was sure she would never get tired of the sounds coming from Maura. Both women continued to moan louder as they ground into each other finding an easy rhythm. Jane knew she was incredibly wet, and that Maura had to feel it dripping all over her thigh, but for once she didn't care. All she could think about was Maura and how good Maura felt – how good they felt together. Their kisses got sloppier as their panting got heavier and quicker and their hands searched for as much skin as possible. Just as Jane pulled back to catch her breath intending to kiss down Maura's jaw and neck, Maura surprised her and reversed their positions. Jane let out a yelp of surprise.

Jane didn't think it was possible to be more turned on, but she was. As she looked up at Maura above her with a mischievous grin on her face, she was pretty sure she was going to explode. "Maura…" she started in a whisper, but Maura didn't let her finish as she dove in for another kiss. Their tongues battled as they continued grinding into each other. Maura pulled her lips away somewhat reluctantly and started kissing, nipping, and licking every inch of Jane's skin within her reach. She quickly leaned exactly where and how to touch to elicit each sound – sucking on Jane's pulse point elicited a soft moan, a quick nip to the shoulder brought out a gasp, and feather light kisses across her clavicle causes Jane to hitch her breath and push her chest harder up into Maura's body. Satisfied in her initial cataloguing of Jane's reactions, she brought her right hand up to Jane's left breast and began softly massaging. Jane instantly groaned and arched her back. "Maura…" she whispered again.

Jane knew she wasn't going to last long. "Maura, I'm so close," she breathed out.

"Come with me Jane," Maura whispered in return as she switched to Jane's right breast and ground her body as fast and hard as she could against Jane, pushing her thigh as hard as possible into Jane. Maura was losing control and could tell Jane was too. On a particularly hard thrust, she pinched Jane's nipple causing Jane's body to freeze and arch up. Jane came hard and fast calling out Maura's name loudly. Maura wanted to watch Jane's orgasm, but she couldn't hold her own as she quickly followed Jane over the edge. Every muscle in both of their bodies tensed and pulsed as they rode out their orgasms. They collapsed onto the bed together panting.

After a few minutes, Maura turned her head, pushing her hair out of her face, and giving Jane a soft kiss on the cheek while she tried to regulate her breathing.

"Fuck, Maura, that was…" Jane tried, but her brain wasn't functioning yet so she couldn't finish the sentence.

Maura giggled, "I'm not done yet. I didn't even get to feel you, but after thinking about you all day long, I knew I had to start with a position that would let us come together."

"I liked it," Jane grinned.

"Just like?" Maura questioned teasingly.

Jane rolled her eyes and pulled Maura closer to her, "No, I loved it.

They laid there together for a few minutes as they caught their breath. After a while, Maura started kissing Jane's neck and her hand wandered down to Jane's folds. She lightly stroked back and forth along Jane's slit avoiding too much pressure on her clit. She wasn't sure how sensitive Jane was after an orgasm; plus, she wanted to take her time and enjoy this one. Jane's hips bucked involuntarily at Maura's touch. As Maura lowered herself and took Jane's right breast into her mouth, she increased the pressure of her strokes. Jane moaned loudly and threaded her fingers through Maura's hair holding her close. Maura rolled Jane's tightened nipple between her teeth as she switched to circling Jane's clit with her fingers. She loved the feel of Jane's body against hers as she felt her pick up the pace of her movements. Maura continued circling Jane's clit; every few strokes she ran her fingers back to Maura's opening. At first, she just stroked, but as Jane became more worked up, she dipped just the tip of her fingers into Jane before moving back to circle her clit. Maura shifted so that she could switch to Jane's left breast. She switched hands, so that she was propped up on her left forearm and resumed her ministrations with her right hand.

"Maura, I need…I need you inside…please," Jane whined. Maura was good at this. She seemed to be able to quickly find all of Jane's favorite spots. Jane figured it was a combination of Maura's knowledge of anatomy combined with her ability to read Jane after all these years of being friends, but she wasn't complaining. Despite having asked for it, Jane let out a strangled yell when Maura entered her with two fingers. Maura adjusted her hand so that she was pumping two fingers into Jane while her thumb pressed on Jane's clit. She moved in and out slowly at first as she watched and listened to Jane's reaction to her touch, but Jane needed more. "Harder," Jane breathed. Maura complied and Jane felt her fingers pump faster and curl harder within her body. She loved the feeling of Maura inside her. She was quickly approaching her climax, but she tried to hold it off as long as possible. She wanted to prolong this; she never wanted this moment to end, but when Maura added a third finger and curled her fingers to perfectly hit that spot inside her, she couldn't hold on any longer. Her orgasm hit her like a freight train. It was more intense than the last orgasm, undoubtedly the best and strongest orgasm of her life.

Maura's POV

Maura was pretty sure she could die happy right at this moment. She had never loved the feeling of anything as much as she did Jane's vaginal walls clamped down and pulsing around her fingers. She continued to try and move her fingers and her thumb to draw out every ounce of pleasure from Jane's body. After nearly a minute of convulsions, Jane finally collapsed on the bed. Maura climbed back up her body and gave her a quick peck on the lips before snuggling into Jane.

Maura had never been happier or felt more loved and at peace than she did as she lay curled into Jane as Jane recovered from her orgasm. She wasn't sure how much time had passed when she felt Jane turn into her and lightly kiss the top of her head making her smile. She ran her hand up and down Jane's side as she shifted to look up at Jane with a shy smile.

"Um, that was fucking amazing," Jane said still sounding a little short of breath.

"I'm glad I could satisfy you," Maura said as she leaned up to give Jane a real kiss.

Jane returned the kiss before replying, "I'm pretty sure satisfied is the understatement of the century." They kissed slowly for a few minutes before Jane broke away and said, "You're still a little overdressed my love." She quickly removed Maura's lingerie before resuming their relaxed make-up session.

They spent the rest of the evening wrapped up in each other, kissing and making love late into the night. By the time they fell asleep for good, Jane and Maura each had four more intense orgasms, coming together two of those times.

A/N: This fic will still go through the wedding and if people are still interested, I will eventually write 1-2 sequels. I will take a break between the end of this story and the sequels though to write a few other stories (all Rizzles, but different "universes"). I have a Christmas story planned and want to have this story, Wish Upon A Star, and the new multi-chapter Christmas story (and maybe more if I'm productive) all finished before the end of the year.

Also, to be honest, I have no idea how much a luxury mattress costs, so I don't actually know if Jane would or wouldn't be able to afford it. It seems like something Maura would spend a ridiculous about of money on though.

Consider yourself warned, more drama is coming, but it will be mild compared to the first half of the story.
