Warning - This is a short update! - No hating! And as always - I don't own any of these characters, but I do love to borrow!

Frost and Korsak stand at the board and watch Jane walk in. Korsak leans in to speak to Frost.

"Did you notice? She's got her swagger back. It was missing for a while."

"Old man, that's a down right strut she has going on."

The men share a laugh.

"What are you two old ladies gossiping about?" Jane scowls at the guys.

"Nothing, Jane, nothing at all!"

"Right."

Jane settles at her desk to sort through the notes they have on their latest case. She has a list of calls to make. After about an hour, her phone buzzes for a text message.

Ma: Janie make sure you come down to the cafe today. And tell Vince and Barry the same. It's National Pie Day and I baked some pies!

Jane: Ok, Ma. Will do. See you later.

Ma: Good. Spread the word!

Jane: Save me a piece of apple pie

Ma: Of course!

Jane puts her phone back on her desk. "Hey guys. Make sure you go down to the Cafe and try some of Ma's pies. She baked some for today. It's pie day or something."

"Did she say if she had strawberry rhubarb?"

"Does she have ice cream to go with the pies?"

"Seriously? I have no clue! Go down and see for yourself later! Can we focus a little while longer on the case?"

Down in the morgue, Maura is sitting at her desk, finishing her notes on a natural cause death. She looks over when her phone chimes announcing a text message.

Angela R: Hi Maura. Please come to the cafe later and try a piece of pie. It's National Pie Day and I baked several different kinds.

Maura: I most certainly will Angela. I am looking forward to tasting some of your home cooked pies.

Angela R: Wonderful! I'll see you later!

Maura smiles at the phone. She was very happy that Jane's mother seems to have come into her own down in the Cafe. Her phone chimes again.

Jane: Hey Maur. Did you get a text from my mother?

Maura: Yes, I did.

Jane: Want to eat lunch in the cafe and have pie for dessert? It would make Ma happy.

Maura: Of course we can do that! I believe I will be free by 12:30.

Jane: Great, I'll swing down and pick you up then

At 12:29, Jane walks through the autopsy doors, lunch bag in hand. "Hungry?"

"Very. You're mother seems very excited about her pies."

"She should be. I have to admit, they are very good. I think you will like whatever you choose."

"Shall we proceed to the cafeteria?"

"After you, beautiful."

Maura beams at Jane. They are not public with their relationship, but Jane will sneak in compliments and even a kiss or two if no one is present.

When they enter the cafe, they notice the crowd around the counter.

"Wow, she did a good job spreading the word. I guess we better get in line to get a piece of pie before it runs out!"

Jane and Maura put their lunch bags at a booth and go stand at the counter. "See anything you like, Maur?"

Maura looks Jane up and down. "Most definitely, Detective."

Jane blushes and clears her throat. "Oh? And what kind of PIE do you want?"

All of a sudden, they hear a giant sneeze somewhere behind them and can feel a mist of germs cover them.

Jane turns her head angrily. "What the hell, Crowe!"

Maura is very displeased. "Detective Crowe! Did you know that the average sneeze can travel up to 100 miles per hour? Have you not been paying attention to the flu outbreak? Don't you know how to sneeze or cough? You do it in the crook of your arm, not all over your co-workers!"

For once, Crowe has nothing to say in the face of Doctor Isle's fury. "Uh, I'm sorry?"

"You should very well be sorry."

"C'mon, Maur. Let's pick out our pie and go wash our hands."

Maura is still grumbling about the spreading of germs when the settle down to lunch. When she takes a bite of Angela's Chocolate Cream pie, she closes her eyes and moan.

"Maura! That is the exact moan you make when, you know..." Jane leans forward and lowers her voice. "When we're in the middle of sex."

"The pie is VERY enjoyable, Jane."

"AS enjoyable as, you know?"

Maura gives a seductive chuckle. "In a totally different way, Jane."

Maura looks over at the bigger crowd at the counter and makes a pouty face. "Do you think if we go back up, we can get more for dessert tonight?"

"Maura, even if they are out of every type of pie she has made, I think you got an in with her and she will be more than happy to make you any type of pie you would like."

Maura smiles. "You think so Jane?"

"Knowing how much my Ma loves to cook and how much she loves you, yes."

Here's an explanation. Driving to work, I heard on the radio, it's National Pie Day and I was, "How did I miss THAT?" One thing lead to another and this is what came of it. Hopefully, it explains the way the characters phones are set up for texting. Maura has known Angela Montenegro for a long time, so she is listed as "Angela" in Maura's phone. Jane's Ma will be listed as Angela R, not Ma Rizzoli yet :) Does that make sense?

Thank you for the love you give in your reviews and PMs. They really do make my day! thankyou,thankyou,thankyou!
