Jane could not sleep that night. She spent the whole time thinking of the day they would meet. She was torn between whether she wanted that to happen or not. Her dilemma was complicated; she wanted to know her, to know how her life has been, to ask her if she was happy, to hug her, to be able to give her a kiss. She had a feeling inside that she couldn't describe. She thought of Maura's words, she said that, that feeling was the love of a mother for her child, but Jane didn't know if that was what she was feeling. The more time she spent thinking about it, the more confused she became.

It was all too overwhelming for her. The tough, brave, fierce and fearless Detective Jane Rizzoli was now a scared, crying woman, whose pain was increasing every time she thought of that woman who looks just like her. Jane started to sob quietly, trying not to awake the M.E. who was peacefully sleeping. Too many emotions for such a short amount of time.

Her stomach was tied in knots; her heart shattered, the nerves and anxiety were taking control over her. She knew it was useless to continuing beating herself up in this time of the night about what she will do next about Claire and her daughter, she didn't know the answer for her questions, but she needed to at least see her again, to meet both of them. She tried to concentrate in Maura's lovely scent, in the way her body fitted perfectly in hers or the way her hand were still grabbing hers, in the last month of relation they both had found the true love in each other. The only haven of peace she could rely on that night was Maura's warmth and steady breaths and after a long while she gave up to a restless sleep.


Maura woke up a few minutes before her alarm, getting out of bed; she looked at the angelical face of her sleeping girlfriend. She smiled to herself at the sight. She got in the bathroom, took a quick shower and got dress, ready to face the day.

It was around 6:45 am when she exited her room, walking towards her daughter's room. "Good morning, sleeping beauty" Maura said, sitting at the edge of her kid's bed, rubbing her back "Time to wake up, little bird" She said sweetly. The little blond groaned and Maura chuckled softly, shaking the little girl's arm to wake her up "C'mon sweetie, it's time to get ready"

Kathy rubbed her eyes with her hands, trying to wipe the sleep away of her eyes "Morning mommy" she said in a sleepy voice, not fully awake yet. Maura smiled at the girl and enveloped her in a warm embraces before they went through Kathy's morning routine. They did it rather quickly, the kid always being very well behave and obedient. Both blondes went down to the kitchen, to start making breakfast.

Jane was awake by the noise downstairs; she let out a soft groan, feeling a headache announcing itself. She rubbed her messy curls and put on her shoes before she went to the bathroom. In her way to the kitchen she could smell the delicious smell of scrambled eggs, toast and coffee. She got to the main floor, surprising Kathy, who didn't know that Jane spent the night in the house "Auntie Jane!" The girl yelled, jumping from the stool of the kitchen to her godmother's arms, Jane was just in time to catcher "Wow! Calm down little bolt" she said with a smile in her face, she kissed the kid's cheek and went around the kitchen island to give her girlfriend a chaste, loving kiss "Good morning, gorgeous" the brunette said looking lovingly into the blonde's eyes. They ate breakfast together. Was a nice, chatty and comfortable breakfast, Maura facing Jane and Kathy next to the Italian detective.

Jane got behind the wheel and drive towards the daycare. Maura got a call so she stood at the entrance, while Jane walked with Kathy in her arms to her classroom "Bye, little bug" she said kissing the girls cheek, the kid reluctantly let the woman go and started to walk unto the colorful room "Can you and mommy bring me to school every day, ok?" the little girl ask with pleading eyes to the detective who couldn't hide her emotions "I'd love to do that" she said kneeling to the girl's level "I promise I will try to bring you every morning" she said, looking at Kathy with shimmering eyes "Pinky promise?" she asked, holding her little pinky up high. Jane smiled broadly and intertwined her finger with the kid's "Pinky premise, baby girl" she said kissing her forehead and encouraging her to get into the room "C'mon, bug, Time to go to class!" The girl waved at the brunette and the older woman made her way to the car, when she saw Maura talking with a man.

"Perfect, I will pick the girls at 4 pm" Maura said smiling sweetly, unaware of her girlfriend towards them.

Both adults were too immersed in the conversation to notice the brunette approaching. Melissa who was just looking at her father and her mother's friends, notice a tall figure with curly, black hair and slim figure "Mommy?" she said confused by the sight. This got her father's attention who was even more puzzled than the girl at the sight of the woman. Maura notice that both, father and daughter were looking, furrowed brow at someone. She turned and saw that it was Jane. Ok, Maura, act naturally, like nothing's happening. She thought. "Umm…Richard, this is Jane Rizzoli, my girlfriend" she said, trying to sound as natural as possible. Jane arrived were the three of them were talking, shaking hands with Richard, she looked at the girl, her face was pure confusion "Can you say hi to Mrs. Rizzoli, Cutie?" the man encourage the girl hiding behind his leg. "Hello, miss" she said shyly. "Hello sweetie" Ruffling her curls that where just like her own. "Please, call me Jane… Mrs. Rizzoli is my mom, I'm not that old" she joked, making Maura, Richard and little Melissa laugh.

"Well, it's getting late; I'll take this young lady inside…Oh! And I think my wife will pick Meli up tonight at your home, Was a pleasure to see you Maura, you too Jane" He said his goodbyes and walked inside the building.

Maura looked how Jane's face was tense and sad "Honey, are you ok?" she asked but she knew better, she knew Jane's emotions were mixed and she didn't know how to come to terms with them. Showing a sad smile and rubbing her girlfriends arm said "Baby, I know this is hard, but what if we go to work, busy our minds in some work and at lunch time we talk about this, ok?" she said, her eyes sparkling with love at Jane. "I think that's ok" she the detective said sadly, bottling all her emotions inside to prevent her to crumble into pieces.


They arrived to BPD headquarters, the M.E. heading directly to the basement and the Detective went to the Café first to grab a coffee "Hi, Janie!" Her mother greeted her sweetly "Hi, Ma. Can you give a coffee, please?" she said overwhelmed. "Is there something bothering you? You look sad, honey" she said worried for her daughter, knowing that something was indeed, bothering the brunette. "No Ma, everything is fine. I just had a rough couple of days" she said trying to wave away her Ma's worries "Ok, honey. If you say so… Here's your coffee" She handed the beverage and smiled at her "Thanks Ma, see you!" she said and went upstairs.

She entered the bullpen "Hey, guys. What do we have?" she asked, sitting at her desk and turning her computer on. "Nothing yet, Jane" Frost ask with an annoyed voice. Recently they haven't got any mayor case, most were simple robs taken by police officers helped by rookies or drug cases that were taken by the Drug Unit. So the team was getting a few days of paperwork due to the lack of action. This means less criminality in Boston, which was something good, but it means a boring existence at work and a ton of paperwork, which was hated by everyone.

Lunch time arrived and Jane went down to Maura's office. "Hi" she simply said to the blonde, who was at her desk, buried in paperwork, just as they were upstairs "Having fun?" she said smirking, pointing to the big pile of papers in hr desk.

The M.E. Stood up and went to kiss her girlfriend, a most needed kiss after long hours of loneliness and endless papers to fill. "It's being a hideous day" she said annoyed by the boring day they were having.

"You want to talk about this morning, this afternoon perhaps?" Maura ask carefully, scared of Jane reaction and trying to make her talk about what she was feeling instead of bottling it all inside "What are you feeling, baby" she said concerned showing in her voice this time.

"I have no idea" She looked at her, sad and pain in her shimmering, chocolaty eyes. "It's just so many things at the same time. I don't know how to feel about this"

"Jane, I know you're feeling confused. This morning when you saw Melissa you were tense and sad. I know this is scaring you, a whole lot… And it's fine to be scared! It's been to many years hiding this from so many people that now that they showed up all that pain you hid inside it's coming to the surface and its hurting you" Maura said trying to soothe the brunette's pain "I don't know if you want to know her, but I think it's time, baby" she smiled at her reassuringly, rubbing her leg with her.

Tears sprung in Jane's eyes but she blink them away, trying to be strong and not succumb to the pain she was feeling "But what is she doesn't want to, what if she hate me for what I did" she said, her voice trembling and her hands shaking.

Maura grabbed Jane's hands in hers, and rubbed her palm soothingly. "It's a risk, baby but I know must of adopted children look for their biological parent to know their story, to soothe their insecurities, I can tell, Jane" she said, and continued "I think it'll can help you to release some of the pain you've kept inside all this years and to give her some explanations"

Jane didn't answer, just buried her face in the crook of Maura's neck. Enjoying the loving smell of her girlfriend's perfume and shampoo. She broke the embrace and said "How can you be so perfect?" Jane asked. "I'm hardly perfect, Jane" Maura answered with chuckling a little.

Jane looked at her eyes and kissed her lips deeply, soaking the blonde's lips with all her gratefulness and love. Jane rest her forehead against Maura's and allowed a small tear to roll down her cheek "I love you so, so much, my love" she said choking by the lump in her throat.

"I love you too, Baby" she said closed eyes. Both separated and grabbed hands Maura asked "Baby, I'll go to pick the girls in a couple of hours, would you come with me?" Jane looked down and shook her head. Maura tilted her head and with her fingers rose Jane chin and made her look at her "its ok, baby. I'll them up at 4 and Meli's mother will pick her up at 7:30 or 8. If you want to come" she said to Jane.

"O-okay, thanks" she simply said. With a few more kisses she said goodbye and went to her desk to finish her paperwork for the day. She drenched herself in work until she saw it was time to decide what she wanted to do.
