A/N: At the end.

As they approached the Rizzoli house, they had settled on a plan for telling Jane's family about their relationship. Jane wanted Maura and her mother to have more one-on-one time, knowing that her brothers and father would follow her mother's lead. Jane suggested a few lunches for the three of them and then, at the end of two weeks, a big family dinner to announce the nature of their relationship.
As they approached the house, Jane gave Maura a reassuring smile and opened the door for her. Maura was still awkward around Jane's brother and father, and relied on Jane and Angela to fill in the silence. Maura took Frank Sr. grilling her about her life and loves, well.
Frank Sr. was half way through a bottle of wine when he asked, "How's a woman like you still single?" He tilted his wine glass at Frankie and said, "Frankie's single."
Jane cut her father off. "Pop."
Angela, aware of Maura's recent break-up, chimed in. "Frank, shush it. Maura isn't ready to start dating again."
"It's alright Angela. I'm in no hurry." She cut her eyes at Jane, who was also discreetly looking at her.
Angela noticed the interaction, but wrote it off as friends being friends. They finished dinner and sat around talking for a bit, until it was just Angela, Jane and Maura.
"So, what did you girls do in Providence?"
"I gave my lecture while Jane slept in, we took a ride on a WaterFire boat and had some great food."
Jane smiled at Maura and nodded. "Yeah Ma, it was cool."
Angela stood up and began clearing the table. Jane and Maura began to help as well, one cleaning the plates, one washing the plates and Maura was on drying duty.
"So, were there any single men around?"
"Ma!"
Maura laughed as she dried the last plate. "Angela, there were no available men that I saw." She looked at Jane. "Jane?"
Jane sighed and decided to change the subject. "Hey Ma, you wanna join me and Maura for lunch tomorrow?"
"Me? You two want me to have lunch with you?"
Maura placed her hand on Angela's back and nodded at her. "Yes Angela, join us."

Tastee-Freeze
Jane had suggested they get an ice cream cone before going to Maura's. They were sitting out front, eating their cones and people watching when a obviously pregnant woman and her toddler son came by. Jane hurried to open the door for them and waved bye to the little boy.
Maura watched the interaction and saw Jane in a way that had never occurred to her: maternal. Jane caught her staring at her and titled her head.
"Do I have ice cream on my face?"
Maura shook her head. "No. I've just never seen you with a child before." She shrugged. "You look good." She studied her cone and asked, "Do you want children?"
Jane sat down with a thud, looking a bit lost. "I...I..." She looked at Maura to see what her face looked like. "I suppose, at some point." She covered Maura's hand. "Do you?"
Maura answered almost immediately, "I think so. Being adopted, it would be my only chance to have a blood relative." She turned her hand over so that their fingers were entwined. "But I think I have plenty of time to do that, right?"
Jane smiled. "Let's go back home and practice that thing that straight people do to make babies."

Maura's House
They had made love and then showered before turning in for the night. Jane turned the light out and they settled in to talk, as had become their custom. Each woman cherished their late night talks, in the safety of their bed, wrapped around each other.
"Jane, have you ever partook of coitus more ferarum?"
Jane sat up and turned the lamp back on. "What?"
Maura, blushing, said, "I believe the common term is rear-entry?"
Jane turned the lamp back off and answered, "The common term is doggy style and yes, I've tried that, briefly."
"Briefly?"
"Yeah, I mean we started that way and ended up in the missionary position." She tilted Maura's face up."Have you?"
"No."
When Maura didn't say anything else, Jane asked, "But you want to?" Maura nodded. "You want us to do that?" Maura nodded again. "Ok."
Maura pulled Jane's arm more tightly against her. "Thank you for being so good to me."
"Maura, I will always be here for you. No matter what."

Lunch with Angela
This was the third lunch this week that Maura and Jane had shared with Angela. Jane was happy to see Maura and her mother getting along so easily. And her mother was happy Jane had started including her in her life more.
"Ma, would you mind making some canoli's for Sunday dinner? I want Maura to see what truly homemade ones taste like."
Angela's face lit up. "Yeah! I can do that. Maura, you're gonna love my canoli's!"

Jane Rizzoli's Apartment
Friday Night
Jane hurried around her apartment, picking up and throwing stuff away. She was in her bedroom, digging around in her sock drawer when her hand hit the jewelry box from Providence. She took it out and smiled. Nodding, she shoved it back into the drawer and resumed packing her bag for the weekend.
She was just about ready to leave for Maura's when there was a knock at her door. Opening it, she was surprised to see Maura at her doorstep, overnight bag on her shoulder.
"Maura?"
The blonde stepped around her and tossed her bag on the couch.
"We can't stay at my place tonight. The landlord is showing the townhouse to three different couples tonight, and since I intend on getting fucked by you tonight, it will have to be here."
"Ok. Uh, I didn't realize you had given notice and found a new place."
Maura sighed. "I didn't give notice, the owner is hot to sell and while I like my place, I don't like it enough to buy it." She shrugged. Walking toward Jane, she wrapped her arms around the detective, and kissed her. She pulled back and whispered, "I want to tie you to your coffee table and fuck you and then I want you to take me from behind. It's been such a shitty afternoon, I just want to forget everything but you." She opened her bag and pulled a bottle of tequila, the double dildo, the harness and lube out. "Let's drink." And they did.

Jane pulled out of Maura, who was currently face down on the coffee table, ass in the air and fluids everywhere. Jane went in search of a towel to try and clean up after their marathon sex session, but could only muster a few swipes with a paper towel.
Looking down she realized she was still wearing the double dildo and in her drunken stupor, she found this funny. She laughed until she flopped down on the couch. Maura pounced on her and took the end of the dildo between her lips, before opting to pull the entire thing out of Jane and toss it aside.
They managed to both get on the couch and haphazardly cover themselves with the blanket from Jane's couch. Maura was on top of Jane, and just before they both fell asleep, Jane asked, "What brought this on?"
"I don't like change." She shifted her position and yawned. "Sleep."

Jane's Apartment
Angela Rizzoli had gotten an early start on making her canoli's, which is why she was standing in front of Jane's door. She needed Grandma Rizzoli's marble rolling pin to roll out the dough and the last time she had used it, it had been at Jane's. She had tried calling Jane's cell phone, but it kept going to voice mail. She figured Jane was at a crime scene and unable to pick-up, so she headed over to get the rolling pin.
Using her key, she prayed Jane not put the deadbolt on, as the marble rolling pin had to chill for a couple of hours before it would roll the dough. She put the key in the lock, turned and was relieved when the door opened a crack. She slowly opened the door in the event Jane was dead to the world after being out on a call, but what she saw was something she never considered in her wildest dreams.
A/N: Thx for the reviews. I have my grandmother's marble rolling pin. It does need to be chilled.
