A/N: Thank you for the reviews. This is a short chapter. But necessary.

Jane was the first to wake up. She enjoyed the feeling of Maura in her arms, and she had taken the time to watch Maura and think.. She leaned in and inhaled the scent of Maura's hair. She sighed in contentment, causing Maura to stir.

"Jane?"

Jane nuzzled her neck. "Expecting someone else?"

Maura chuckled. "No, but after all the times I dreamed of this, I just wanted to make sure it was real."

"It's real. We have about an hour before the sun comes up."

"I know how we can spend that time." She tried to roll over but Jane stopped her.

"Maura, I need to talk to you first, ok?"

"Ok."

"Maura, you are the missing piece in my life. When I think of home, I think of you. You are my first thought in the morning and the last thing I think of at night. That will never change, Maura."

She urged Maura to turn over so that they were facing each other. "Marry me."

Maura hesitated only for a moment before she whispered, "Yes."

Jane smiled. "Yeah?" Maura also smiled and nodded. "Ok!" Jane wasted no time rolling Maura beneath her and kissing her.

Soon the were once again dry humping, Maura's legs wrapped around Jane's waste. This time there was no holding back, no trying to stifle their words and pleasure. Jane went over first, shouting something that could have either been Mo or Maura. For her part, Maura held on to a still quivering Jane who managed to bring Maura over the edge.

Jane collapsed on top of Maura, who rubbed her back and kissed her temple.

They both dozed off for a brief nap. When they awoke, both were soggy and uncomfortable.

"Jane, let's get changed." She scooted out from under Jane and got out of bed. She stood and began the process of taking her panties off.

"Stop!"

Maura, afraid somebody was watching them ducked.

"What?"

Jane smiled and moved to the edge of the bed. "C'mere." She pulled Maura between her legs and looked up at her. In a low voice she continued, "You are incredibly precious to me and the first time I see you naked, completely, I want you to be my wife."

Maura tilted her head. "You're good."

Jane shook her head. "I'm serious."

Maura's face softened and her eyes filled with tears. "I have never felt loved like this." Maura sat on Jane's lap, her legs dangling over each of Jane's legs. She kissed Jane and then started to giggle.

"What?"

"You want us to be lesbian virgins when we get married!"

Jane bit her lower lip. "I...do."

Maura leaned back in and whispered, "Is this because I was a virgin when I married Edward?"

Jane thought for a moment before answering. "Maybe a tiny bit, but Maura, when I think about the first time I get to see you naked, I do not want to associate that with this." She waved her hand around the dingy trailer.

Maura gave her another kiss. It was chaste and sweet and full of love.

"Ok" She kissed Jane yet again and then seemed to be contemplating something.

"What?"

"Just when do you want to get married?"

Jane laughed. "The day I get out of here, I say we go straight to the courthouse and exchange vows."

"And what about your mother?"

Jane shrugged. "She'll get over it."

Pointing her finger at Jane, she replied, "That's on you."

After they showered, separately, they sat at the kitchen table, which was really just a folding card table, going over case notes. Maura was deeply engrossed in a pile of papers when she felt Jane's eyes on her.

"What?"

"I really gave you a hickey. Like, a big, redish purple hickey." She leaned forward and touched the offending mark. "Ma's going to see that."

Maura put her pen down, "What do you want me to say?"

"Tell her the truth. I gave you a hickey."

"And should I tell her what we were doing when you gave it to me?"

"I...don't have an answer for that."

When it was time for Maura to leave, Jane gave her a deep kiss and whispered into her ear, "I love you."

She watched until Maura was out of sight and then headed for her cell. She was lost in thought about everything that happened in the last 36 hours and didn't realize that her cell was not empty.

"Freshmeat. Looks like you had yourself a good time."

Jane's hand went to her neck. "How did you get in here, Claudia?"

"I can get anything I want in here, Freshmeat."

Maura had an extra bounce in her step as she walked into the door of her house. She was humming as she made her way to the laundry room. When she returned to the kitchen, she was met by Angela Rizzoli who had her arms crossed.

"What's that on your neck, Maura?"
