We made it to chapter 100 everybody. That makes me excited, thanks for all the continuous support you guys are great for sticking with me. I'm surprised this story got along as far as it did. I'm proud of myself. This chapter starts off after like a week and a half after the last one.


Jane laid in bed and looked over at Maura, yesterday was a very exciting day. She had a doctor's appointment and the implantation of the sperm and Maura's eggs mixed with hers was successful, and she had no horrible side effects. Now she had to wait two weeks to get her results, it was going to be a long two weeks, two weeks to see if she was going to be pregnant. She rested her hands on her stomach, looking up at the ceiling. Last night Cailin had decided to come over for a sleepover, the twins were very excited to spend time with her.

Today would be a different day, today Todd was going to spend some time with Tommy and Frost without his sister. They'd be picking him up around lunchtime it was going to be odd not having the young boy around. But he was excited for the whole thing.

She felt a shift in the bed and turned to see Maura looking at her with a tired smile. "How are you feeling this morning, everything feel good with your insides?"

Jane laughed at her words, "What no use of any scientific words this morning?

"The joys of having a friend like Kent is that I get to talk hours with him using scientific terms, plus I know you like me keeping things simple. And it's more exhausting then you'd think."

"Well I didn't mean you'd have to stop all together with me, I quite enjoy your Google talk sometimes you know. I never want you to change Maura, I love you, Google mouth and all," Jane smiled. "Speaking of Kent, how has he been adjusting to everything. I guess if he's like you he caught on quick to everything."

"He's been great, very helpful... maybe even better than me."

Jane looked over at her wife in surprise, "Hey don't say that Maura, you're amazing at your job. Are we having doubts again?"

"No, of course not."

"Are we sure?" she asked, eyebrows raised.

"Yes Jane, I'm sure," she gave her a quick kiss before getting out of bed and getting changed for the day. Jane got up and followed suit before wrapping her arms around Maura from behind.

"You know if something was wrong you can tell me," Jane rested her chin on Maura's shoulder. "I don't want you feeling down on yourself, you're always so confident, then since Kent came along..."

Maura frowned, "It's not his fault Jane. Plus I said I'm fine and have no doubts. Just making a comment, he's very smart."

"You're still the smartest person I know."

"You never met Kent."

"Maybe I should go down and smack him, I know it's bugging you even if you don't want to admit it," Jane pulled away. "We should go downstairs and check on the kids and Cailin."

"Good idea," Maura nodded, this talk felt like it was going nowhere at the moment. They headed downstairs and not only was Cailin up with the twins, Tommy, Frost and Angela were there as well.

"Well it looks as though we have a full house," Jane shrugged. Tommy and Angela were on the couch discussing something and the twins were in the dining room eating breakfast with Cailin. Frost was in the kitchen. Jane went to go see how her mother was doing, it's been a while since she seen her. Maura went to go get some breakfast from Frost. "Hey Tommy, hey Ma."

"Good morning Janie, I hope it's okay me and Barry came early," Tommy smiled at his sister.

"Yeah it's more than okay, may I talk to Ma?" she asked and Tommy nodded getting up from the couch.

"Of course, I'm starving and Frost makes one hell of a breakfast," he kissed Jane on the cheek before heading into the kitchen. Jane sat down next to Angela.

"Good morning Jane," Angela greeted.

"Morning. So any updates on little JFK?"

"The doctor says he's doing better, he might be able to come home at the end of the week. Frankie is at home with Vince getting things situated in the nursery. You don't have to refer to him as JFK, I'd honestly prefer if you just stick to Julian."

Jane nodded, "I'll make a mental note. So how have you been feeling?"

"Pretty good, kind of exhausted, Vince has been great while I've been healing. He's been amazing actually. You should come over sometime, I know he misses you."

"Well if he misses me he could just come over here. I have a lot of responsibilities at home with the twins. I don't know how many times I have to tell him that I'm over being mad at him, you are safe and Julian is doing more than well. It's great news he may be getting released soon, I know we're all excited here about his progress. He keeps getting stronger each day," Jane rested her head on the back on the sofa cushion. "I'm pretty excited to find out if I'll end up getting pregnant, doctor said chances of it happening the first time is statistically strong for me especially with my type of uterus, so here's to hoping the first time is the charm."

Angela nodded, she loved how Jane was optimistic, she just hoped her feelings wouldn't chance if the first time didn't prove to be successful, but the last thing she wanted was to bring it up and have Jane upset with her. "Well you've been taking real good care of yourself lately. I'm sure that will help start things off right," she patted her daughter's leg. "Speaking of, you should go eat some breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day after all."

"Yeah, I know Ma," Jane rolled her eyes as she pushed herself off of the couch and went into the kitchen and did what she was told. "Hey Frost."

"Hey Jane, how's it going?"

"Pretty good, Ma wants me to eat breakfast."

"Well I made you a plate," Frost slid it across the counter, luckily Jane stopped it or else it would have landed all over the floor.

"I wish you would be careful, you don't want to break any of Maura's plates, or you may just feel her wrath," Jane laughed.

"I'm not too concerned about the wrath of Maura Isles," Frost chuckled. "Todd is so excited to be hanging out with me and Tommy. You won't feel bad if he doesn't want to leave, me and Tommy are very fun uncles."

"I bet you are, but having a kid around makes private time with your partner tough and I know how you and Tommy like to... do things..."

Frost's cheeks flushed, "I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Remember the other week, when your car broke down and Tommy had to take you to work... you came out of his car after you both fogged up the windows. I didn't expect you to be so..."

"Sexually active with your brother?"

"Um yeah... that..." Jane shook her head.

"Well honestly I didn't either, the night we hooked up before getting back together was a surprise on it's own. Tommy was surprisingly gentle about it and then the addiction started. Having Todd around is going to be a great buffer though, being with Tommy alone can get sort of exhausting at times."

"Well that's good then. We should really stop talking about this though, I may just lose my appetite, and Ma will not be so pleased with you, even though I guess I was the one to bring it up," Jane looked down at her plate and started eating her omelet. "Have you talked to Frankie lately? I've been seeing less of him since I no longer work at the precinct."

"Frankie seems completely out of it, Crowe and him talk but they don't say much to each other. Gwen kind of talks to him, they are going to try this whole just being friends thing. I don't think Crowe approves of it much, but I mean he doesn't care that I'm still friends with Frankie, or if he does, he doesn't show it very well. Crowe has changed since he's become Sargeant, even gives Maura a hard time sometimes."

Jane frowned at Frost's last words, "Why would he give Maura a hard time? Is this why she's doubting being smart enough. I swear if Crowe is the cause of Maura doubting herself I'll be more than okay if Frankie doesn't work out with him. He has no reason to be an ass, Frankie said he was okay with them getting an annulment. I swear Crowe is a shit sometimes."

"Jane, you said a bad word," Kate spoke up as she entered the kitchen to put her and Todd's empty plate in the sink.

Frost snickered as Kate scolded Jane, shaking her head before leaving the kitchen. "Looks like you just got in trouble with a four year old."

"Oh shut up Barold," she gave him a nudge in the ribs.

"Hey, no need to speak to me like that, don't make me bring Kate back in here."

Jane rolled her eyes, "Don't threaten me."

"Oh sorry, but I think I just did," Frost stuck out his tongue.

"Yeah Frost, real mature," she gave her head a shake and focused on eating her breakfast, her mind trailing off towards Frankie, hoping that he was going to be okay eventually. She was grateful that at least Tommy knew what track his life was heading. She always worried about him the most, but now the concerns were left on her oldest brother. She was glad that he was spending time with Korsak today. Maybe bonding with the older man is exactly what Frankie needed to get his head out of his ass. She hoped so anyways.


While everyone else was at the Rizzoli-Isles household Frankie was spending time with Korsak. They had just gotten the nursery all set up, had a struggle building the crib. Korsak cursed a few times at it, Frankie found it quite amusing but he knew that his mother wouldn't be as abused.

Currently Frankie was sitting on the couch, watching some random soap opera. "I don't know why they make these things so dramatic, nobody in the real world talks like that," he mentioned to Korsak who in the kitchen, cleaning up the blender he just used to make a smoothie.

"I don't know why you're watching that crap, it's almost worse those fake reality TV shows like the Bachelor, who does that kind of stuff? What happened to romance these days and why is it even considered entertainment. These girls make complete fools out of themselves just to impress some guy they find hot with almost no personality."

"You're just mad you were never chosen to be a bachelor Vince," Frankie chuckled at the older man's ranting. "These girls really have no respect for themselves, the guy gets to date twelve women and they are just okay with that. It's insane if you ask me. Competing for one man's attention with eleven other girls just seems downright degrading. Why would someone even come up with a show like that?" he asked as Korsak sat down next to him, handing Frankie a glass.

"Beats me Frankie," Korsak shrugged. "You sure you wouldn't like twelve girls throwing themselves at you?"

Frankie shrugged, "If you put it that way, I wouldn't mind the attention. It would be more than Darren has been giving me lately," he sipped at his drink. "We haven't been talking like we used to lately. He said he was okay with the annulment and agreed that we did rush things, but I feel like he's been lying about it. I wish he would just be honest with me."

"I'm sorry you've been having relationship problems."

"Honestly Korsak, I haven't the slightest idea if this is a relationship anymore... I feel like he's been giving me the cold shoulder. I honestly hope it's not because Gwen and I are friends again, well sort of friends. More like acquaintances," Frankie sighed, things went south since their annulment but it was for the best Frankie knew it was. He just wished that Crowe wouldn't start being a jerk to people, especially Maura and Frost.

"Well I'm sincerely sorry to hear that Frankie. I'm sure you guys will be talking about it soon enough," Korsak patted the man's leg with a smile.

Frankie looked at him suspiciously. "What did you do?" he asked, just as there was a knock on the door. "Korsak..." he frowned and Korsak got up to answer it.

"Oh look Frankie, Crowe seems to have decided to drop by," Korsak looked up at Crowe.

"You said he knew I was coming Vince? That he asked me to come and talk," Crowe had a frown that matched Frankie's.

"He was just talking about you and wanting to know where you two stand. It's good you came over, I had to go to the store and stock up on diapers, Julian will most likely be coming home this week and I must be prepared," Korsak grabbed his keys and wallet. "You two behave now, and don't do anything I wouldn't do," he waved to Frankie before leaving his house.

Frankie rolled his eyes, Korsak was just as bad as his mother sometimes, they really were a perfect pair. He got up from the couch after finishing his smoothie before throwing the cup in the kitchen sink. He leaned against the counter, arms crossed as Crowe entered the kitchen. "So, I'm going to take a wild guess and say Korsak told you that I wanted you to come over and talk?"

Crowe nodded, "I think we've been avoiding the situation long enough."

"Yeah, I guess we have. I'm still conflicted if we're still on the same page. We've been distancing ourselves from each other and I don't think that's necessarily a good thing. Have you been lying to me?"

He sighed looking at Frankie, "Why would I lie to you?"

"You said that you were okay that we got an annulment, that we shouldn't have done that. And you've been giving off this vibe that you aren't okay with it."

"You were the one who said it was a drunken mistake. I heard you talking to Frost about it, you never really said it to my face. I'm okay with us not being married, but I don't like knowing that you considered a mistake. It makes me think you regret getting back together with me. And then seeing the way Gwen looks at you, I don't like it, you said she wants to just be friends, but I can tell that's not what she really wants. I don't like feeling jealous when you don't seem to appreciate our relationship," Crowe frowned.

"I do appreciate our relationship, and I feel nothing for Gwen after she abandoned me. Just like I feel nothing for Frost and haven't for a while. You don't seem to be in a good mood around him either. And Maura has been real off at work lately and I know it's just not because Jane doesn't work there anymore. You've kind of been giving her an attitude too and she has done nothing wrong. It seems like you're mostly mad at me, so I wish you weren't rude to everyone else."

"It wasn't my intention to be rude. There's a lot on my plate being Sargeant Detective, Jane and Korsak made that seem easy. And not knowing where you and I stand hasn't been easy."

"Then why couldn't you have just talked to me about this instead of being so distant," Frankie frowned and Crowe shrugged.

"I don't know, you haven't been making it easy to talk to you. And there was a point in time I thought I could talk to you about anything. It makes me question what the hell we're even doing anymore," Crowe spoke in a harsher tone causing Frankie to flinch. "What the hell are we Frankie, because I'm tired of trying to figure it out."

Frankie slumped his shoulders, "I don't know Darren, okay? I've been struggling to figure it out myself. Things went really well the night we got back together, before the next morning when I was sober."

"The night we made love more than once before deciding we couldn't be without the other. The night we had shared those vows and got married, before you realized it was all just a mistake," Crowe shook his head. "I can't do this Frankie..." he turned to leave.

"Darren, wait..." Frankie reached out to grab Crowe's hand. "I don't want to end things on bad terms. I freaked out when I realized our relationship got real serious over those late night hours. I didn't mean to call it mistake, I don't think our relationship was a mistake, I was just freaking out about the marriage thing. Rushing things scared the hell out of me."

"I have a question for you then Frankie, can you see a future for us?"

Frankie slumped his shoulders, "I don't know Darren, but that doesn't mean I won't ever see one. I just can't answer that right now."

Crowe nodded his head in understanding, letting go of Frankie's hand. "Okay."

"Okay, is that it?" Frankie crossed his arms.

"I want something serious Frankie, I know that scares you but I'm at a point in my life where I want to settle down. I know it sounds selfish and completely asinine, but I think that answers all my questions. Maybe we just weren't went to be... but being with you made me realize just how much I want a relationship that's positive to last for a long time. That's why us getting married meant so much to me I thought I was finally done searching." Crowe spoke with immense sadness in his voice. "But knowing it didn't mean the same to you makes it hard for me to want to continue this," he stepped closer resting his hand on Frankie's scruffy cheek, pressing his lips against Frankie's for a moment, groaning when Frankie pulled him closer, deepening the kiss.

Frankie pulled back minutes later, catching his breath. "Darren, I really am sorry, like really sorry. I'm just not looking for anything serious like you are. I hope someone gives you everything you're wanting in life. I'm going to miss you, even though we work together I'll still miss you. No hard feelings?"

Crowe nodded, "I'm going to miss you too Frankie. No hard feelings, but if you or I get lonely, can we still... comfort each other?"

"You mean like..." he paused. "Won't that hurt too much?" Frankie asked, he wouldn't mind kissing Darren, that's for sure.

Crowe shook his head, "I mean, I'm not going to just fall out of love with you overnight. I'm still very much in love with you. That's not going to change anytime soon."

Frankie leaned up to kiss his cheek, "I just want you to be okay, and we can stop anytime it becomes too much, as long as we have this understanding everything should be alright."

"Yeah, that way we wouldn't have to miss each other too much," Crowe sighed as his phone alarm went off. "I should get back to work now, I had to set an alarm just in case my lunch went on for too long. Maybe tonight I can see you, since you don't come into work."

"Yeah sure, I can come over. I'm glad we have an understanding on things," Frankie walked Crowe to the door. "I'll see you tonight."

"See you tonight," Crowe gave Frankie one last kiss, lasting longer than the last. "I'm really going to go now, you might want to..." he nodded to Frankie's crotch causing the Rizzoli to feel his face flush.

"I um yeah..." Frankie watched as Crowe left before closing the door, leaning against the wall, trying to recollect himself.


"So, you just left Frankie there with Crowe?" Jane asked Korsak as he entered the house a few minutes ago. Maura took Angela to the hospital to visit Julian, while Tommy and Frost had taken Todd to spend the day and evening with them. Kate was in the guest house with Cailin as they decided to feed Chad, so now it was just her and Korsak to talk.

"Yeah, you think I wanted to stay there for that," Korsak chuckled. "I'm not even sure if it went well or if it ended up as a fight. I just know they needed privacy to work things out. Frankie just seemed upset knowing I invited Crowe over but it was for his own good."

Jane nodded, "Well I was just telling Frost how Frankie needed to get his head out of his ass. Maura had been telling me how Crowe has been pretty much a jerk to everyone at the precinct, even her. If they don't work it out, I think I'd be more than okay with that. Crowe shouldn't be a dick just because he's hurting."

"I definitely agree with you, but we both know you're going to support Frankie no matter what as long as he's happy."

"Yeah, I don't like how well you know me," Jane crossed her arms.

"At least you don't hate me anymore," Korsak smiled warmly at Jane.

"That could change at any point in time Vince, just remember that," Jane gave him a nudge.

"Yeah especially when you start to get those pregnancy hormones."

"You'll be walking on eggshells around me for nine months, won't you?" Jane laughed.

"I'd just make sure that I don't get on your bad side is all."

"Well good luck with that old man," Jane patted his knee before getting up from the couch. "Want some tea or something?"

Korsak shook his head, "No thanks, I think I'm going to go to the hospital and visit Julian," he himself got off of the couch. "You take care of yourself today Jane."

"Of course, I always take care of myself these days father dearest," Jane playfully rolled her eyes, Korsak chuckled before leaving the house closing the front door behind him. Jane started making her some tea, enjoying the quiet, even though she knew it would be short lived. She realized how much she missed living alone in her apartment sometimes. The peacefulness was something that didn't come easy these days, and Jane felt guilty for thinking that in this moment. She didn't mind her life now but she did miss having her alone time.

Jane made her tea and went to go sit back down on the couch, cupping the mug in her hand, sighing. She frowned when she heard Kate and Cailin enter the house.

"Hey Jane, thanks again for letting me hang out with the twins," Cailin paused when she got to the couch and seen Jane frowning. "Are you alright Jane?"

Jane looked up and nodded, "Yeah I'm fine. I'm glad you enjoyed being with the twins, I know they missed you, right Kate?"

The younger girl nodded, "It was really fun Jane. Cailin said she has to go now. Are you sure you can't stay longer Cailin?"

Jane glanced up at Cailin, "You don't have to go if you don't want. There's no reason you can't stay. I'd prefer it actually. I was thinking about going to lay down upstairs for a while, and I would need someone to watch her at least until Maura gets back home."

Kate clapped her hands, "Yay Cailin. Please stay you can say, please?"

Cailin smiled at the girl and nodded, "Alright, since you asked me nicely. Thanks Jane."

"No, thank you. You've been a huge help," Jane pushed herself off the couch, placing her tea mug on the counter. "You behave for Cailin, okay Kate?"

"Always Jane," Kate smiled before grabbing Cailin by the hand, pulling her away towards the dining room, listing all of the things her and Cailin could do.

Jane knew it was still pretty awkward having Cailin here but she realized just how much she meant to Kate. Jane headed upstairs to lay down on the bed, hands behind her head as she looked up toward the ceiling. "I really miss you Camille, you'd be so proud of your kids right now. I know I'm proud of them." She closed her eyes feeling a tear fall down her cheek. "I hope that they are always going to be okay and safe from going through anymore loss."


The next two weeks seemed to go by in slow motion, Jane was still in her slump, but she put on a happy face for Maura, she didn't want her wife to worry about her, especially since Maura herself has been in a huge slump herself. Neither of them have been feeling themselves lately. Maura was still doubting herself on a daily basis, and Jane didn't want to add to that by mentioning how she's been having this craving to want to be alone and enjoy the quiet. She didn't want Maura feeling worse about herself so she kept it to herself. She loves Maura and didn't want to give the woman any reason to think otherwise.

Jane let her brothers take the twins to a baseball game. Maura was making dinner in the kitchen, she had been humming to herself as Jane had her legs stretched out, her feet on the coffee table.

"Hey Jane, you're not shouting at the tv," Mauea looked up from her cutting board as she cut the lettuce.

Jane glanced behind her to look at Maura, "Why would I be Maura, I'm watching the weather channel."

"Oh, I didn't notice."

"Because it's a commercial Maura," she laughed lightly. "Did you want me to be shouting?"

"It's just odd of how quiet you've been, I've been hearing no commentary at all, it's quite concerning," Maura shrugged and went back to her attention on the lettuce. "You've been acting real odd lately," she spoke moreso to herself, but Jane could hear her.

"I've been acting just fine Maura. I don't know what observations you're making," Jane grumbled.

"Then why are you snapping at me?"

"I didn't snap at you Maura. Did you want me to help you with dinner?" Jane asked and Maura gave her wife a confused look.

"Jane, I asked you thirty minutes ago and you told me that you'd rather rest," Maura frowned, going to put the lasagna in the oven.

"Well maybe I decided that I wanted to help."

"I'm all done now though Jane," Maura mixed the salad she just got done prepping. "You know what we can do while we wait for dinner..."

"Maura, I'm not in the mood to have sex..."

Maura rolled her eyes, "That's not what I meant, plus with how things have been going I don't think having sex is such a good thing for us right now. But anyways today marks two weeks since you had your appointment at the doctor's. Maybe if you take the test it will cheer you up."

"It won't cheer me up if it's negative Maura. If I take it now and it's negative that will only make me feel worse. So I think I'm going to put the pregnancy testing on hold, if you don't mind."

"Okay Jane, it was just a suggestion. If you want to wait to take it that's fine," Maura reassured her. "I'd hate for you to feel worse, even though you said you were fine." Jane just nodded, before turning her attention back to the television. Maura frowned at her wife before going to sit down next to her, resting her hand on Jane's knee. "You're not okay Jane, and you don't have to hide whatever you're feeling just so I don't feel bad. That's why you're holding off on telling me right, because I've been having some sort of midlife crisis?"

Jane glanced up at Maura, "Is that what you're calling it, a midlife crisis?"

"Yes, I've looked into it, you say it's a slump, but it's definitely a midlife crisis."

"How so?" Jane asked, "You're not old enough to have a midlife crisis. Unless you expect to live only until 70."

"A midlife crisis doesn't exactly mean you're halfway done with life, the common midlife crisis age range is 35 and 55. It can consist of feeling unfulfilled with life, feelings of boredom and emptiness, dramatic changes in behavior and appearance, constantly comparing oneself to others and sometimes intense feelings of regret," Maura's voice got softer with each symptom she listed.

Jane rested her hand on Maura's. "You do seem to have those symptoms. Ever since Kent came you have been comparing his intelligence with yours. You stopped dressing as nice as you used to when you first started working at BPD. I've noticed you've been wearing more pants than skirts. I do have to ask though, what regrets have you been having?"

Maura bit her bottom lip, "I-I don't think I'm comfortable talking about it. I feel bad for even thinking it..."

Jane sighed, "I know exactly what you mean. If you tell me your regrets, I'll tell you how I've been feeling lately."

She sighed and took a breath before looking into Jane's eyes knowing she could trust Jane with these feelings. "Sometimes I've been... well I've been regretting taking the twins in. When they are here it's great and I love them but we haven't exactly been able to be us for the long time. It's not something we chose it was kind of forced on us under horrible circumstances. I know the kids are in good hands with us and I would have hated for them to go into foster care, but there's so many things I miss... I miss us just being that, just us, you and me," Maura spoke, tears falling down her cheeks. "I feel so bad for feeling this way Jane and then you're trying to get pregnant and it's just... we'll never have just us again for 18 years. You must think I'm a horrible person," Maura cried and Jane shook her head pulling Maura close kissing the top of her head.

"That's not what I think at all Maura. Babe, you don't have to feel bad for feeling that way... honestly Maura, I've been going through the same thing... I've been missing when I lived alone and had nights of quiet, just me, myself and I. I feel like I don't have that quite as much anymore. Having the twins here is great and all but I completely understand... I miss us too, the way things used to be. Life changed for us so fast, maybe we're just finally realizing how much has changed. Having regrets like this is normal, I know I kind of don't want to take the pregnancy test because since I'm feeling this way we probably don't need a baby right now, it's only been a few months since we've been thrown this curveball with the twins. The thought of being a mother, us being parents brings me great joy but there's also this sadness that comes with it," Jane rubbed Maura's back. "I know we told each other we wouldn't keep pawning the twins off to our family, but I think it could be a good thing, that we can do things just us. Maybe we could go somewhere or do something. Any one of my family members wouldn't mind having the twins more than one day. I think after these past two weeks we deserve that. We deserve some time for ourselves, plus I still have a few weeks before I start my job with the police academy. And if Kent is as smart as you say he is then you maybe feel comfortable leaving him in charge while you're gone."

Maura listened to Jane speak, making her not feel so bad about her feelings, Jane always know how to make herself feel better. Maura wiped her eyes and nodded. "Jane, I think you're right. We just need time away, time that is actually just us. Maybe I was overreacting not really thinking of ways that we can just get us back. I guess I wasn't really thinking of anyone else, putting the twins care all on our shoulders. I'm sure Angela and Vince and your brothers wouldn't mind taking care of the twins for a few weeks. I'm sure the twins will miss us and we'll miss them, but we can always video chat them. They do seem to want to hang out with Angela and Korsak more than us now that they have Julian home," Maura squeezed Jane's hand. "We can plan more tonight, I'm going to safely assume that you're going to not want to fly anywhere."

Jane smirked, "You've assumed correctly my dear," she lifted Maura's hand up to hers, giving it a kiss. "I'm glad we were able to talk things out. Sorry about snapping at you earlier."

"I knew you snapped at me Jane."

"Do you forgive me?"

"Of course, can we promise to try not to hold our emotions in anymore, it does more harm than good," Maura asked and Jane nodded. "Okay good," Maura kissed Jane's cheek, getting up from the couch, "I'm going to call Kent and tell him our plans, if he does need help I know Susie is very reliable. I'm really excited to be going places with you, it's going to be quite an adventure," Maura pulled out her phone and dialed Kent's number. Jane watched her wife talk to Kent with such excitement, Jane was excited as well, this was exactly what her and Maura needed.


This chapter was fun to write with Jane's interaction with Frost and Angela near the beginning and also intense to write, with Frankie and Crowe's talk, Jane and Maura's personal crises. Bet you thought Rizzles was going to have a big argument or something the way their conversation started while Maura was making dinner but aren't we glad that's not the case, instead we are going to get much needed Rizzles alone time. Kind of thank binge watching RI the other week, they gave me the idea of a Rizzles road trip. I also have something planned for Frost and Tommy to happen, supposed to be pretty intense. Anyways until next time, my readers and reviewers
