Jane wakes up and Maura is still tangled up in her. She immediately smiles. This is right where she wants to be. She lays there with the sun peeking thru the window. She looks down at the beauty sleeping in her arms. It gives her time to think.

This is our first full day at home. Maura has a cast on her left arm and her right leg. She needs a wheelchair to get around. I'm going to be caring for her. I know we both love that we get to spend some time together while Maura recuperates. The tricky part, Maura has to bathe or shower or otherwise be washed. The intimate relationship between us is new. Very new. We've only kissed. Hell, we only decided yesterday to date exclusively. She said she can be professional with the nudity thing when I have to dress her and stuff. Helping to bathe someone is entirely different though.

Maura starts to stir, "Good morning, beautiful", Jane says as she kisses Maura's head.

"Good morning, love. How long have you been awake?"

"Not long. I've just been laying here thinking."

"Mind telling me what's going on in that detective head of yours?"

"Well, Doctor, I've been thinking about us. Watching the light come in and shining on you. You're absolutely beautiful."

"Oh, Jane. You're a sappy romantic. Just wait until everyone finds out."

"Oh, no, you can't. Please, Maura, don't."

Maura starts laughing at Jane. "Oh, I won't. I love seeing this side of you. It's sweet."

"So, umm... how are we going to handle the bathing situation while you're still laid up? I mean, I'm all for helping you in every way possible. I'm nervous to see you naked. I mean, I want to, like really want to, but are we ready for that?"

"Jane. Everything will be okay. I promise."

Okay. I trust you. So, how about a good morning kiss."

Maura, looks at Jane lovingly, and lightly touches Jane's face. Jane smiles at her and they share a very sweet kiss.

Jane says that she'll make coffee and some breakfast. She helps Maura into the chair and wheels her into the bathroom.

Maura wheels herself into the kitchen. Jane didn't expect to see her. Jane has a cup of coffee ready for Maura, just the way she likes it. She's made a light breakfast, like Maura likes as well. A one egg, two egg white omelet with spinach and cheese, along with some fruit.

"Wow. Jane, this smells amazing. You've been hiding your cooking talents from me."

"Well, I don't mind you knowing, I just don't want everyone to know that I can cook. I'll cook for you. Now, just let me know if it tastes good."

Maura takes a bite. Jane is looking on nervously. "Mmmm... this is really good. You know I can't lie. You can cook for me anytime. What else do you have hiding up your sleeve? Have you picked up some of your mom's skills and recipes?"

"I may have picked up a few over the years. I'll have to see what else I can whip up for you for the next week. That's three meals a day, I may have to order some takeout or get Ma to do some cooking."

"Jane, I haven't told you yet today. I love you."

"I love you too Maur. So much. I'm really looking forward to this new adventure with you. What would you like to do today, my gorgeous girlfriend?"

"Ohhhh... I've graduated to gorgeous. I like that?"

Jane begins to blush. She pours the two of them some more coffee and cleans up from breakfast.

"Well, how would you like to go to the Museum of Fine Arts today? I can give you a special guided tour. I want to share that with you. I grew up with the arts and I want to share that with you."

"You know what Maura, I'd really like that."

"Really, you would?"

"Yes, Maura. It's important to you. I'd love to see the museum thru your eyes. Oh. My. God. I am sappy."

Maura laughs at Jane. Jane can't help but laugh too.

Jane wheels Maura back into the bedroom. She helps her out of the chair and onto the bed. Maura sits on the side of the bed. Jane kneels before her and puts her arms around Maura's torso. Maura puts her arms on Jane's shoulders. She kisses the top of Jane's head. Jane looks up and into Maura's eyes. Maura uses her good hand to pull up Jane's tank top. She pulls it up over Jane's head, exposing Jane's bare breasts. Maura lightly runs her fingers across Jane's clavicle and down her chest. Jane shivers at the touch. With a touch she encourages Jane to stand. Maura places light kisses on Jane's stomach. Jane takes this opportunity to take her Red Sox shirt off of Maura. Maura exhales deeply. She lightly places her hand on Jane's arm and she lays back on the bed, guiding Jane down on top of her. Maura starts kissing Jane very passionately. Their mouths part, their tongues exploring one another. Their hands touching places that they've never touched before.

They part from one another and look at each other longingly and smile.

"Maura, you are absolutely beautiful. Your skin is so soft. I've wanted to touch you for so long. I can't believe I actually am."

"Jane, you are. I can feel your touch down to my toes. Your touch is both strong and soft. It's all I've wanted since I've pretty much met you. Please don't stop. I love feeling your hands on me."

"Well, I guess this helps with the anxiety of seeing you naked. Well, at least the top half of you anyway."

The two share a laugh.

"Maur, I have so much fun with you. I love that I get to be myself. You really are my best friend... and now my girlfriend. I am happy. I didn't think I'd actually find happiness. Someone that gets my profession, my job. Someone that won't try to get me to quit."

"So, Jane, if we're going to go to the museum, we need to get cleaned up. You ready to see the rest of my naked body?"

Jane can't help but blush. She picks up Maura's half naked body and carries her into the bathroom.
