Happy Thanksgiving all! Sorry this is later than I originally planned, but the computer ate the original draft as I was beginning to save it! Grrrr.

Disclaimer: I do not own these lovely ladies.

Thanksgiving Day

Jane and Maura walk into the BPD café and stand at the entrance in amazement at the transformation. Colorful tablecloths, streamers, cornucopias of fruits on the tables and wonderful smells coming from the kitchen.

"There you two are!" Angela Rizzoli comes to them handing each lady a coffee cup and apron. Energy is rolling off her.

"Ok, follow me into the kitchen. Jane, pull your hair back!"

"Place looks great, Ma!"

"Yes, Angela, the café looks very festive."

"Thank you, girls. Vince stayed late last night and helped me decorate."

Jane and Maura exchange a look and Jane raises an eyebrow.

Angela stops at a pile of potatoes. "If you girls could finish these, you can never have enough mashed potatoes!" Angela rushes off to give more directions.

Jane and Maura settle in to their work.

"Feels like some sort of prison comedy with this pile of potatoes." Jane comments.

"Well, we are at a police station and it does have a lock up."

"Should we start digging a tunnel?" Jane is feeling silly. She starts to angle her potato so that the peels are flying at Maura instead of the garbage pail. Maura laughs and does the same.

"Girls! More peeling, less playing!" Angela catches them fooling around.

Jane and Maura bow their heads. "Sorry, Ma."

"I'm sorry Angela." Angela walks away mumbling and the ladies giggle as they finish up the potatoes.

The next step is to put the food in the steamer trays and put them in place in preparation for serving. Maura sees this as a perfect opportunity and smiles. This part of the kitchen is a very small working area and there is no help but to brush against others when you walk by.

"Excuse me, Jane." Maura's ass brushes Jane's ass.

"Pardon me." Maura's breasts brushes Jane's back.

"Are you having fun, Jane?" Maura is passing in front of Jane, but stops to ask that question as she twists to look over her shoulder at Jane, effectively pressing her shoulder into Jane's breast and her gluteus maximus into Jane's groin.

"Fabulous." Jane states can smell Maura's perfune.

Maura smiles into Jane's eyes.

"It's time everyone! Take your positions!" Angela gives one last look over everything.

The door open and people start lining up with their trays. Jane and Maura are now on the front lines serving the food.

"Vanilla!"

Jane looks up to see Rondo next in line. "Hey, Rondo. Happy Thanksgiving. You doing ok?"

"Oh, you know me, Vanilla. I'm helping you keep the streets safe." Rondo winks at Jane.

"Thank you, Rondo for all that you do." Jane chuckles.

Rondo catches sight of Angela. "That is one mighty fine piece of woman over there, Vanilla. You're lucky that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Ya know what I mean?" He waggles his eyebrows at Jane.

"Rondo! You are NOT checking out my mother!" Jane glares at him.

Maura strokes Jane's back to calm her down. "Jane, he complimented your mother AND you. Here Rondo, have some mashed potatoes." Maura leans over to reach Rondo's tray, and makes sure her breast is firmly pressed into Jane's arm.

Rondo looks at the position of Maura's breast and raises his eyebrow. "Thank you for the potatoes, doc."

Maura realizes that she has been caught, and winks at Rondo. Rondo chuckles.

"What's so funny?" Jane continues to glare at Rondo.

"Life, Vanilla. Life is a never ending joy, is it not? I'm going to say thank you to the beautiful hostess of this event. Catch you later, Vanilla. Doc – you have fun."

"Rondo! Don't you try to pick up my Ma! Rondo!"

The day went on, more people came, desserts were put out. Frankie finally made it in.

"Hey, Ma! Any food left over?"

"Frankie! Of course I have food for you. Sit down right over here! Jane, Maura! Come sit down and eat! Someone find Vince and Barry."

Angela bustled around, grabbing the food she had set aside for her family.

Jane and Maura headed over to the table, but were stopped by Rondo.

"Vanilla, I'm as stuffed as a Christmas Stocking! I just want to wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving. Give ole Rondo a hug."

Jane tries to back away, but Rondo opens his arms wide to hug both Maura and Jane and squishes Maura in between them. Maura and Jane look at each other with surprised looks, their bodies flush against each other.

"Am I helping?" Rondo whispers in Maura's ear.

"Love my favorite ladies! I'm off to keep the streets safe!" Rondo let's go and heads out the door before Jane gets a chance to recover.

"Girls!"

Maura and Jane disentangle and make their way over to the table and sit next to each other.

"Ok, everyone, please hold hands with the people next to you."

Jane grumbles. "Aw, Ma. C'mon, we're hungry."

Angela gives Jane a stern look. "Jane Clementine Rizzoli, hold hands!"

Jane takes Maura's and her mother's hands.

"Now, as I was saying. I want to say that I am thankful to spend this day with my family, no matter where we celebrate. And I do mean family because I count everyone at this table as family."

Maura feels Jane give her hand a squeeze and glances over at Jane. They share a smile and Maura rubs her thumb on Jane's hand.

"Ok, I know everyone is hungry. Let's eat!"

Laughter erupts that Angela knows them so well. Food is passed and plates filled and happiness radiates from the table.

Happy Thanksgiving!
