Work has me exhausted, but my muse and thoughts for the story are happening at a good pace, stinks I can't write as fast as I can think sometimes. This one is another dedicated to Rizzles with only a tidbit Boston stuff. Probably only one or two chapters more of their road trip after this one before they are back in Boston. Keeping in mind their trip is a little over two weeks in length. Warning though this chapter does involve mentions of depression.
The girls enjoyed their time spent at Mount Rushmore after a real good time at Sioux Falls, preferably the evening after they were open about things and spent a very passionate evening together.
They arrived to their next destination of San Francisco two days after Mount Rushmore, getting to the city first at night where they enjoyed seeing the bridge as it was lit up at the time, they made plans to travel across it tomorrow. If Jane was feeling up to it of course, her morning sickness was on and off a lot.
Like now Jane was currently in the bathroom, Maura held her hair up, rubbing her back. "I hate how my morning sickness happens at night time," Jane groaned, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. "It's called morning sickness for a reason, right?"
"Not necessarily. But I'd prefer not to discuss bodily functions, it's taking a lot for me not to feel sick as I take care of you," Maura kissed the side of her head.
"Yeah, but at least you're not Frost, imagine if he had to be by my side as this happened. That would not be pretty," Jane stood up slowly going to rinse her mouth with water and then swishing around some mouthwash. "I hope I feel better in the morning, shall we go lay down?"
Maura nodded as she walked with Jane to the bed, Jane went to go lay on top of the covers and Maura joined her, resting her hand on Jane's hip.
"'You know, I wonder while Frost is in his coma is he like having thoughts and dreams about us all."
"In his case I'm not sure he's dreaming or not, the chances of him doing so are slim but I mean I'm not exactly a brain surgeon so I'm not exactly one hundred percent sure."
"I think I'll pretend that he is having nice dreams about us all. Just imagining him laying there in complete darkness is kind of upsetting to think about. And kind of scary, I don't want him to feel scared at a time like this. I know you probably think I'm crazy thinking he could actually feel emotions..."
"I don't think you're crazy Jane, you're just hoping for the best and hopefully soon he'll be out of the coma and you can have a nice long talk with him."
"You know he's going to be so thrilled when I tell him that I'm pregnant, that he gets to be an actual godfather," Jane smiled. "What'd I give just to hear his voice right now."
Maura sat up, "You know there's a way you could hear his voice," she reached over on the bedside table and grabbed her cell phone. She dialed Frost's number, letting it ring a few times, Jane sat up.
"Hey, you've reached the voicemail of Barry Frost and if you're hearing this I'm either at the Dirty Robber with my phone shut off or occupied with my fiancé. Yes you heard right, I Barry Frost have a fiancé I'm actually on the verge to getting married, to my best friend's brother. I know what you're thinking why tell you all this on my voicemail, I'm just a little excited is all. Anyways leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Oh and if you're Jane, please don't be mad I didn't pick up, I'm not avoiding you, I swear. Bye."
Maura laughed lightly at Frost's voicemail recording.
Jane smiled at Frost's message, hearing Frost's voice is exactly what she needed to hear.
"Did you give Barry a reason to avoid you Jane?"
"I have absolutely no idea," Jane shrugged with a laugh. "Man, how I miss him," Jane sighed after the moments of laughter at the message died down.
"I know you do Jane," Maura patted her thigh. "I have a feeling it'll be no time at all before he awakens."
"I sure hope so," Jane sighed, laying back on the bed, Maura placed her phone down before laying next to Jane. Jane's head moved to rest on Maura's chest. "I have some feeling he's just waiting for us to come back from our trip. Frost does have quite impeccable timing on things."
"We just need to continue having hope is all," Maura kissed Jane's head. "Get some sleep now sweetheart."
"Yes dear," Jane muttered, squeezing her softly, closing her eyes, listening to the sounds of Maura heartbeat. Things felt great in this given moment.
Maura took a little longer before she started to drift off to sleep as she continued rubbing Jane's arm. Maura was knocked out moments later.
Jane jolted up in the bed hours later, it was a little after midnight, it caused Maura to sit up, half awake but alert. Jane's heart was racing as she tried to calm her breathing, Maura wrapped her arms around Jane's shoulders.
"Jane, did you have a nightmare? You're sweating."
Jane rubbed at her eyes, "I was walking on a path and I started to fall into this huge hole, it was dark and scared the hell out of me," she managed to get out before laying back down in bed. "I always had dreams like that growing up. Ma and Pop made me take a bath whenever that happened since I was sweating, you know they made me take a bath even if it was in the middle of the night."
"Well, you should take a bath perhaps, it'll make you feel better."
"Only if you join me," Jane smiled sitting up and Maura nodded.
"Of course I'd join you Jane, I'm sure it'll be very nice," she got up from the bed, patting Jane's leg. "I'll start the bath and you get a change of clothes and meet me in there."
Jane got up from the bed, "Thanks for not being annoyed that I woke you up in the middle of the night."
"I'd never be annoyed, just like when you had those dreams. I was there to comfort you as I recall."
"You're definitely amazing babe, whenever we were together when those dreams were happening you made me feel safe and secure," she kissed Maura's cheek before going to grab some new clothes out of her luggage as Maura went into the bathroom and start the water.
Usually when they took a bath that Maura started she was already naked and in the tub, this time she was sitting on the edge of the tub, fully clothed, legs crossed.
"Waiting for me this time," Jane chuckled, placing her clean clothes on the counter top.
"Figure while we're awake and you aren't throwing up we can enjoy the time we have until we get tired for bed again. Distract you from any negative thoughts causing the dream of you falling into the abyss."
"Aah, I see. Always thinking of me."
Maura nodded, getting up from the side of the tub and walked over to Jane, before grabbing the hem of Jane's shirt pulling it over her head and tossing it onto the floor. Maura squatted down to remove Jane's 'Mama Bear' shorts, and underwear, glancing up at her with a smile before standing up. Jane did the same thing with Maura removing her clothes, but she moved to place Maura on the other side of the counter. Jane chuckled lightly as Maura shuttered at the feeling of her bare ass on the cold countertop.
"Cold?"
Maura nodded, "Maybe we should shut the water off first before we have this distraction."
"I'm on it," Jane mock saluted before walking over to shut off the water. Maura couldn't help but stare at Jane's ass as she bent over. "You're looking at my ass, aren't you?"
"Maybe, but can you blame me?" she raised a brow and Jane smirked.
"Blame you, never," she went to stand in front of Maura, Jane ran her fingers up her wife's inner thighs. "Just like I can't blame you for looking so damn sexy in the nude." Jane gave Maura a kiss on the lips, before moving so she could let her mouth nip at her thighs. Jane smiled to herself as Maura offered a light moan. Jane continued her kisses as she headed up towards her center. Jane hovered a moment before letting her tongue slowly drag against Maura's entrance.
"Shit," Maura's hips arched upwards, her fingers squeezing Jane's shoulder blades as Jane kept moving up and down her entrance. Maura bit her bottom lip, closing her eyes. When Jane found Maura's bundle of nerves, Maura whimpered, digging her fingers into Jane's skin, causing Jane to grunt. Jane inhaled Maura's scent before suckling gently at Maura's soft spot. "Dear God," Maura groaned, letting her legs drape over Jane's shoulders bringing her wife's face as close as possible. Maura tossed her head back, groaning in pleasure as Jane slowly fucked her with her tongue.
Jane loved hearing Maura react, probably one of her most favorite sounds coming out of Maura. She kind of really liked when Maura tugged at her hair when she went down on her. Jane shortly began to pick up pace, sucking at the flesh as she continued her tongue lashing. Maura moved her hips against the movement of Jane's tongue. One of her hands in Jane's hair went to grip at the counter, she panted feeling herself of the brink of her orgasm.
"I- I'm so fucking clos- oh shit Jane, I'm alm-ost," her legs went stiff as did her whole body as Maura was sent over the edge, coming hard against Jane's tongue.
She whimpered when Jane slowed down her movements, lapping up her juices before pulling away. "Yum, Maura juices," she slowly licked her lips, smiling as she did so.
"That was really amazing by the way Jane, can we do that again?" Maura spoke seductively and Jane chuckled.
"I wish but I don't think my tongue can handle any more right now. Plus I'm pretty worn out and would hate to have our hotel neighbors file a noise complaint."
"They didn't in Sioux Falls, may I remind you, and you remember how loud we were there."
"Not our faults the hotel we stayed ats bed was squeaky as shit. Surprised they didn't complain there to be honest," Jane helped Maura off the counter as she turned the water back on to finish filling up the tub. They both slid in moments later, both moaning at how good the warm water felt on their bodies.
They washed each other up and enjoyed the water until it got cold before they got dried off and dressed and headed to bed, laying down in each other's arms, drifting off to sleep.
This time around there was no waking up in the middle of the night, just peaceful sleeping throughout the remainder of the evening.
When Jane woke up the next morning she was nice and refreshed from her dreamless sleep. She rolled out of bed gently so Maura didn't wake up, Maura always let Jane sleep a little longer, this time Jane returned the favor.
She grabbed her phone and went to go stand on the balcony their hotel room had. Jane looked out and took pictures of the morning sky, she got a good picture of the bridge. She was outside a few minutes about to go inside when her phone rang, it was Korsak. Jane got worried, it was probably around 9 or 10 Boston time, Jane wasn't good at time zones, she hoped that nothing was wrong. She picked it up and Korsak spoke.
"I hope I'm not calling you too early, or interrupting your sleep Jane."
"Korsak, what's going on, why do you sound like that so damn huffy? You seriously aren't calling me after a round of sex with my mother, were you?"
"No, dear God Jane, of course not. I'm over at your house to help feed Chad your tortoise. I sort of forgotten to come over the past couple of days and now he's not moving..."
"You killed Maura's... our tortoise. Korsak! How can you forget to feed him?"
"Hey it's crazy over here Jane, what should I do? How should I dispose of..."
"We're not disposing of Chad, at least we're not going to call it that. And we're absolutely sure he's dead? I mean he's a tortoise and maybe he's upset he's getting neglected it's not like Maura and I could have taken him with us. What are we supposed to tell Maura? Tomorrow is her birthday, do you think she wants to hear about Chad dying..."
"Chad's dead?" Maura's voice was heard causing Jane to freeze.
"Jane... I think you just told her..."
"Shut it Korsak," Jane turned to Maura. "Apparently Korsak forgot to feed our tortoise for a few days."
"And he's absolutely positive?"
Jane nodded, "Yeah, Maur, I'm really sorry about him."
"Jane!" Korsak shouted Jane's name over the phone.
"What?!" Jane shouted back at the older man.
"False alarm, Chad just moved, he's alive, your tortoise is alright."
"Well thank God, Chad's okay," Jane smiled and Maura nodded.
"You know tortoises can go years without eating, not that that's ever advised. May I talk to Vince for a minute?"
"Be my guest," Jane handed Maura the cell phone.
"Good morning Vince."
"Morning Maura, I'm sorry about that little scare, I sort of panicked not seeing him move. I definitely would have forgotten about him if Todd didn't mention him."
"All that matters is he's still alive, I do have to say though, if taking care of Chad is too much of a responsibility I can always ask someone else to keep an eye on him. Two 4 year olds and a baby is a lot of work in itself. Feel free to call Susie or Kent to take care of him for you. I'm going to enjoy my day with Jane and hope there aren't any more incidents like this one."
"Yes ma'am," Korsak spoke timidly and Maura smirked to herself glad she could sound intimidating to the older man.
"Enjoy the rest of your day Vince," she turned to Jane. "Anything else you'd like to say to Korsak."
"Me, nothing except goodbye and talk to him later."
"Good day to you both and if I forget because I might, Jane mentioned it being your birthday tomorrow, so you have a good birthday."
"Thanks Vince, good bye now," Maura spoke before hanging up.
"Well that's good news that Chad is alive, sometimes that man can be such an idiot," Jane took her phone back, shoving it in her pocket. "Shall we get ready for the day then?"
"Of course, I'll go in the bathroom first to freshen up, I would say you could join me but we'd never leave our room."
"That'd be fine by me, I don't mind the sights of you in my bedroom," Jane winked.
"Smooth Jane, very smooth. But we do have some more exploring to do," she brushed passed her gently, she stopped when Jane placed a hand on her arm.
"Wait, before you go get ready," Jane leaned down to give her a kiss. "Good morning."
"Good morning Jane," she kissed her back before heading into the room and off with a change of clothes to the bathroom.
After they got ready, checked out and packed up the car they rode to a small Cafe near the Golden Gate Bridge. Jane really enjoyed eating all over the states, everywhere so far had amazing food, even when she couldn't keep it down she still enjoyed the eating part. She sat at the table holding on to her mug of warm tea. Jane had to admit she really started to like the taste of tea and thought maybe she wouldn't go back to drinking coffee after the pregnancy. Jane definitely wouldn't admit to Maura or anyone that she was starting to feel okay with no coffee in her diet. It sure did smell really good coming from Maura's cup though.
"You know Maura, I thought we were going to stop you from eating or drinking things I can't have. Like coffee and wine, so we can have the same sort of diet."
"It's hard not to want coffee as a wake up call after all the exercising we've have partaken in during our trip so far. I promise after this trip I'll start having only things that you have, I mean unless you start those weird cravings. I wouldn't want something completely bizarre in my diet."
"Ma didn't really have any weird cravings while she was pregnant, or nothing I was aware of. So let's hope it's the same for me," Jane sipped at her tea while she ate her bagel. "I don't want to eat weird shit either."
"Yeah eating weird shit is not well advised," Maura smirked. They continued to make small talk throughout their brunch of sorts, sharing smiles and plenty of laughs.
The women sat for a bit longer before heading outside. The cafe was right outside the bridge pretty much, so they could walk to it in no time.
"Alright Jane, whenever you want to take a break let me know and I'll be sure that we'll take all the time we need to get across the bridge and back," Maura rested her hand on Jane's back as they stepped foot on the bridge.
"I think I can handle it Maur," Jane looked out to the beyond and then the water, back towards Maura. "At least I'm not on a boat then I'd definitely want to pass."
"Come on then, shall we?" Maura stuck out her arm and Jane nodded, linking their arms together as they started their journey on the Golden Gate bridge.
The girls got halfway across the bridge when Jane had to dispose of her breakfast in a trash can. "Well there we have it Maur. I do as a matter of fact get morning sickness in the morning," she sighed, sitting down on the closest bench. "I don't think I'm going to make it all the way across and be able to make it back to the other side," she pouted and Maura sighed, sitting next to her.
"If you want to go back that's fine, I mean we accomplished a lot."
"I wanted to experience the whole thing. I mean at least you should be able to."
"We're a team Jane and I'll be okay with walking halfway, we can go back to our car and then just drive across the bridge. We said starting out we'll go as far as we can."
"Alright, it's still really disappointing," Jane pushed herself off of the bench and started to walk, Maura watched her wife for a second before getting off the bench and following her.
The walk back to their car was spent mostly in silence much to the dismay of Maura. She hated seeing her wife down, even if it was only momentarily.
"You know the good news is Jane that you've gotten an amazing amount of photos on this trip. Maybe when we get home we can make a sort of video of all the sites we seen, I'm sure the twins would love that," Maura mentioned once they got back in the car.
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea, but let's do that once Frost is better."
"Of course Jane," Maura patted her knee before they started their drive over the bridge and driving off to Las Vegas where they planned to spend Maura's birthday.
"So why is it that Maura and Jane's tortoise is here at work?" Frankie asked, leaning against the doorframe of Maura's office where Kent like to be at because it made him feel in charge and he thought Maura would like how organized they kept things.
"Because Korsak wasn't able to take care of it and he asked me for help. And I'm here more than my apartment and Korsak told me how Maura kept Bass at work sometimes when she worked long hours. Don't worry though Susie is going to help out too."
"Susie? You could have asked me."
"Susie and I are usually down here throughout the day, you detectives are only down for autopsies. I didn't want to distract you from work. You aren't jealous, are you?"
"Why would I be jealous? Susie's a very great friend especially to Maura, and she'd do anything to help out," Frankie shrugged.
"Hey Frankie," Susie smiled coming into the room with a bowl of greens and strawberries.
"Hey Susie, heard you're helping out with Maura and my sister's tortoise."
"Yeah, well when Kent asked me to help I couldn't say no Maura is one of my best friends and Jane is your sister. I'd do anything to help them out," she smiled, "Did you want to help feed Chad?"
"Nah I'm good," Frankie raised his hands up.
"Alright, but it'd be nice to have some help... from you," Susie looked up at the Rizzoli before focusing back on Chad. Kent and Frankie shared a look, Kent turned to Susie.
"Hey, Frankie and I have something to do, you continue helping Chad, we'll be back."
Susie just nodded, paying all her attention on the tortoise.
Kent grabbed Frankie by the arm, leading him to the autopsy room. "What's so important that we had to do?"
"I think Susie might have a thing for you."
"What are you even talking about dude? Susie's interested in helping you with Maura's tortoise, I'm pretty sure she doesn't mind playing house with you," Frankie shrugged. "And honestly it's not a big deal, remember we agreed you and I were only going to just remain friends. You don't know if you're comfortable being with a guy and that's okay. I promise you it's fine."
"Yeah I know what we agreed on, but I know what I saw, she totally has a thing for you. Who gets upset that someone won't help out with a pet that's not even there's. I'm telling you."
"Well I think you're out of your mind, I could never get a girl like that, I never had a chance with Maura and I hardly have a chance with Susie, even if I ever wanted one, which I don't."
"I know how you feel man, trust me. Maybe that's why I went for you because I had a chance I'll never have a chance with who I want because I'd get murdered... by her wife."
Frankie glanced up at the man, "I knew it! You have a thing for Maura, you're so fucking screwed, if Jane ever heard..."
"That's why she's not going to know, ever, okay?"
"Fine, but I know for a fact that you're not going to do anything about it you'd be a dead man for sure. You shouldn't even be thinking about her at all, it's not right."
"I know that Frankie, I'm not an idiot. You should go help Susie with Chad, I'm going to get something to eat maybe talk to Lydia. Get my mind off of Maura."
"I'm sure Lydia would like that, but beware she'll be very attached to you I mean unless that's what you want."
"I have to start somewhere for getting over Maura."
"Yeah good luck man," Frankie shook his head, Kent is going to be screwed, Frankie and him both knew how much she liked Kent. Frankie watched his friend walk away before going back to Maura's office, he squatted down next to Susie. "Hey, did you still want some help?" he asked and Susie looked up at him and smiled.
"I'd like that yeah, and I'm sure Chad will too, you are his uncle after all."
"Yeah an Uncle to a turtle..."
"Tortoise," she corrected and Frankie laughed.
"Yeah my bad, tortoise," he grabbed a piece of strawberry holding it in the palm of his hand to let Chad eat it. "I never fed a tortoise before."
"Well you're a natural at it," Susie placed another fruit in his hand. "I'll let you take care of him now since you're so good."
"Hey, you don't have to go, I might need more help," Frankie looked at the woman. "You know you'd look different if you wore your hair down, in a good way of course."
"Can't wear my hair down in the lab Frankie, just imagine all the chances of contaminating evidence, it's a rookie mistake and I'm anything but an amateur."
"Well maybe outside of work, maybe during dinner?"
Susie cheeks flushed, "Kent told you, didn't he? Here I thought he could keep a secret."
"He just wants to help, knowing my bad luck of dating, at least I have a smart woman after me this time. You don't know how many times I've wanted Maura."
"Of course, all you Rizzolis are the same when it comes to Maura Isles. You guys are like magnetized to her beauty and smarts."
"Hey, you're smart Susie, and don't talk down about your beauty, you're breathtaking," Frankie patted her hand before focusing his attention back on Chad.
"Frankie..." Susie looked at the Rizzoli, who turned upon hearing his name.
"Yeah?"
"Nobody has ever said that to me before, not even my last boyfriend."
"Really? Well he must have been blind... like I said... breathtaking..." Frankie got his words cut off when Susie leaned over to press a quick kiss to his lips, she pulled away just as quickly.
"Frankie, I'm sorry I didn't... I got carried away in the moment," she stood up quickly about to leave the room when Frankie got up and gently grabbed her by the arm, pulling her close.
"Hey, don't apologize, it was nice, in fact," he leaned down capturing her lips into a deeper kiss. He hasn't been bold in a while, but whatever just happened made his heart beat like crazy. Susie was great at kissing, lips softer than any guy's he's been with, well Frost lips were pretty good, but he didn't want to be thinking of him right now.
They pulled back moments later, slightly out of breath. "I should get back to work," Susie spoke and Frankie nodded.
"Maybe we can go to the Robber after work."
Susie nodded, "Don't let what just happened distract you from your detective work though. I'll see you there though."
Frankie nodded back, watching her walk away thinking just how random all this seemed, random but nice. His happiness was short lived as his phone rang and he seen Cailin's number on the caller I.D. He answered it, he knew Tommy was staying at the Martin's house, he didn't take it as a good sign, especially hearing Cailin's tears.
"Frankie... it's Cailin and it's about Tommy..."
"What happened?" he asked, panic setting in.
"My mother was out at work and I was at the library and came home to find Tommy on the couch passed out with a bottle of Tequila and an empty container of pain meds... I called the ambulance and they took him away. Frankie, I'm so scared... I knew Tommy was struggling, but I didn't think it was this bad. I shouldn't have left him alone..."
Frankie sighed, "Shit Cailin. I'll come pick you up and we'll go to the hospital together. I can't believe Tommy would do such a thing..."
"I've been at a stage like that in my life Frankie, I was at that low point once. Sometimes when you're depressed there's nothing you can do to feel better..." Cailin sobbed. "He needs to get better. I'll be on the porch when you come get me. I'm sorry Frankie, I should have stayed home with him... I should have done something..."
"Don't worry about that right now, okay? I'm on my way."
Eight hours of traveling to their next destination of Las Vegas, Maura drove the whole way to let Jane sleep off the feeling of nausea. She found a hotel they were going to stay at on the Vegas strip, she got everything they needed up to their room before going to wake Jane up.
"Hey Jane, we made it to Vegas," she gave her arm a shake.
"Huh," Jane shifted to her other side, facing Maura before opening her eyes. "Did you drive the whole time?"
"Of course sweetie, you looked so peaceful sleeping I didn't want to wake you. I brought all of our things up to our room already. We can go out for dinner if you wanted."
"And have me get sick again?"
"Jane, you know as well as I do that you need to eat."
"What's the point if it's just going to come back up?" she grumbled and Maura crossed her arms.
"There's a lot of points, but I'm too hungry to discuss them. There's a place to eat in the lobby, and you know what they have tonight?"
"No Maura, I don't please inform me so kindly."
"There's a karaoke thing tonight, I know how much you love watching people butcher up songs, if anything can cheer you up it's singing drunken fools," Maura smiled and Jane laughed.
"I mean it would make me feel better about myself. But I'm not going to sing."
"I don't expect you to, just sit and enjoy, but you do have to eat first."
"Deal," Jane smiled for the first time since this morning and it made Maura happy and hoped that Jane liked what she had planned to do.
They went inside and ordered some food and finding a spot at a table where the karaoke night would start to commence any minute now.
Jane was very amused by these people singing and how they didn't care if they embarrassed themselves, Maura was more focused on Jane's reactions she liked the smile that seemed stuck on her face right now. She was even able to keep her dinner down, but Maura knew she'd have an hour or two before this throwing up started. At least Jane was able to enjoy herself until then.
"Hey Jane, I'll be right back alright?" she got up from her chair.
"Wait, where are you going?" Jane looked at her wife in concern.
"Bathroom. I promise I won't be missing the next fool who wants to sing."
"Okay it's much better watching it with you though," Jane leaned back in her chair as Maura disappeared. Jane swirled her water around in her cup and sighed.
"Next up," the person announcing the karaoke singer as he took the stage, "All the way from Boston, Massachusetts on a road trip with her wife..." Jane perked up hearing the man and seeing Maura take the stage. "And yes, here in Las Vegas it's okay to be gay," he continued having a couple of people cheer at their tables. "Anyways, here's Maura Rizzoli-Isles," the man handed Maura the microphone, the lobby audience clapped, some whistling and Jane just had an amused smirk on her face.
"Thanks for the introduction, I know you guys are ready to hear me sing, but first the reason I decided to come up here. Jane, being with you on this trip has been great, we've seen so many sights, had good times and ate amazing food, but there have been some moments where you were a bit down on yourself. Today I heard this song on the radio and I thought of you right away. This song's for you," Maura smiled, winking at Jane who leaned back in her chair.
The song started and Maura gripped onto the microphone, her and Jane did spend some of their road trip singing songs they heard on the radio, but singing it front of dozens of people was kind of nervewreaking now that she was on the makeshift stage, so she made it her mission to only look at Jane and the words on the screen if she needed assistance, but she was pretty good at picking up lyrics to songs quickly.
"You're insecure, don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the do-o-or
Don't need make-up to cover up
Being the way that you are is enou-ou-ough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else, but you, ooh
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh-oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm lookin' at you, and I can't believe
You don't know, oh-oh
You don't know you're beautiful, oh-oh
That's what makes you beautiful
So c-come on, you got it wrong
To prove I'm right, I put it in a song
I don't know why you're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eye-eye-eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else, but you, ooh
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh-oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm lookin' at you, and I can't believe
You don't know, oh-oh
You don't know you're beautiful, oh-oh
That's what makes you beautiful."
Once Maura finished the song, the audience got up and clapped for her, Jane got up as well but she made her way to the stage, holding out her hand for Maura to take to help her off the stage.
"So what did you think?" Maura asked and Jane grinned.
"It was unexpected but totally amazing, you got nerves to get up and sing in front of dozens of people. And you did it so well."
"Well the things you do to try and show the one you love how amazing she is, even when she doesn't feel like she is," Maura pulled Jane in close for a kiss and some of the audiences whistled at them, causing them both to pull back their faces flushed. "Should we go back to our table now?"
"How about we go up to our room?" Jane whispered in Maura's ear and wiggled her eyebrows.
"You're so turned on, aren't you?" Maura asked, whispering back in Jane's ear.
"Insanely so," Jane grabbed her by the hand, "Feel free to continue to show me exactly how beautiful you think I am."
I had that end scene planned for days now, finally got able to write it on my day off, thank you One Direction for creating that song I heard on my iPod on the way to work the other day, Maura singing was definitely the icing on the cake, I loved being able to share my thoughts in this chapter. Rizzles proves to be amazing even if Jane doesn't think so about herself sometimes, and their sexual selves always passionate time. The beginning was sad to write for me about Jane missing Frost and then hearing his voicemail, and then the stuff in Boston, Kent supporting Frankie and Susie and their tortoise bonding connection. I couldn't kill off poor little Chad. Let's hope next chapter comes faster, I hate waiting five days to finish and post a chapter. Hope you enjoyed, love tho hear your thoughts as always.
