Chapter 14:

"I love you too, sleep now Jane. We have a little while before they get back."

Jane POV:

I wake up and look at the beautiful honey blonde in my arms. I can see the stress from the past few days slowly starting to fade away. She is sleeping peacefully with a small smile on her face. I just look at how beautiful she is. The way her face is free of any make-up and her hair is brushed back. I can't believe that she is mine, I have always wondered what life would be like on this side of our relationship but I never thought I would get to do that. I see all that she does for other people and I can't begin to fathom why she ever chose me, but I won't ever forget that she does.

I feel her start to wake and I smile at her. "Hello babygirl." I say to her.

"Babygirl?" She smiles and takes my hand into hers.

"I'm sorry, do you not like it?"

"I love it, I have never been called that before. How're you feeling baby?"

"I am alright love, I am feeling better than earlier. The boys texted saying that they would be back soon."

"Oh good, I imagine that you're famished." She says against my shoulder.

"I am, god Maura you are so beautiful. I was looking at your face a few minutes before you woke up. I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you babygirl. Every time I look at you my heart speeds up and I get butterflies in my stomach."

She looks me in the eyes and then looks at my lips. She leans up and presses her lips to mine. I take my hand from hers and place it on her hip, as her tongue glides over my bottom lip I grip her hip hard and I hear her whimper. "Mmmhmmm" Frankie, Frost, and Korsak all walk back in with bags of stuff.

Maura goes to get out of bed but I keep holding her tightly to my body. "Jane I was only going to get up so you could eat."

"You don't need to, it's not like I can eat with two hands anyway so I'd like you to stay where you are."

"Alright but if you get any food on my clothes, I will be very upset."

"I'll try my best not to."

Korsak puts the food in front of us. "We were able to find the cajun shrimp that you wanted. And Jane, we got you fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans because doc would want you to have some vegetables."

"Thank you Korsak." Maura says.

We all dig in and eat together making small talk. Once we finish eating Maura tells the boys that she is going to get ready to give me my bath and that we probably won't be leaving tonight. She is going to call the closest Marriott and let them use the miles she's acquired. So they all say their goodbyes and Maura makes the call.

"You should get yourself a room babe." I say to her. She looks at me with the saddest eyes I have ever seen.

"Do you not want me here Jane?" She asks quietly.

"Of course I do but I also would like for you to get a good night's sleep."

"I won't sleep without you, the last few days have been hell. I just want you to hold me again." She says coming to sit on the bed next to me

"Then stay here with me. I'll hold onto you all night then, now can I please get a bath?"

"Patience Jane, I promise that I will give you a nice bath. I brought my laptop so we can watch something as we lay in your bed and then go to sleep. We should be able to leave tomorrow."

"Sounds great, I have waited to have your hands on me." I say to her and she looks at me with a devilish grin.

"Is that so, Detective Rizzoli?"

"Yes Doctor." She finishes her phone call, and heads into my private bathroom. I hear water running, and I figure that Maura is setting up to help me get clean.

"Jane, I'll be right out to escort you in here. I know you can walk on your own but I want to help alright, love?"

"Okay I guess I'll let you take care of me just for a little bit." I chuckle.

"Only for a little bit? Why not forever?"

"Maybe. I'd have to think about it because I love when you take care of me but I also feel guilty when you do."

She walks back into my room and helps me out of bed, "Why do you feel guilty?"

"I'm not sure, I guess other than my mother no one has really ever tried to take care of me so I am not used to it." As I stand I nuzzle myself into her neck.

"Mm I have missed you Jane." She says as she kisses my head.

"I have missed you too Maura, more than you could ever know."

"Let's get you clean." She says as she wraps her arms around my waist. We walk slowly into the private bathroom and she helps me sit down on the bench in the shower.

"As long as you keep your right arm out and in this bag, we can turn on the shower and I'll stand in front of it protecting your wounds."

She helps me undress and then starts to undress herself, I find myself becoming aroused again. "Like what you see Detective?" She says as she finds me ogling.

"Always Doctor Isles. " I continue to ogle her as she undresses. She is so beautiful.

"You're so beautiful, my sexy angel."

"Angels shouldn't be sexy Jane."

"Tell that to God, when he made you he should've thought of that." I pull her flush against me and press my lips to hers.

"Baby...Jane….you're still hurt...we got to stop…" She breathes.

"What? You don't want to?" I ask her.

"I do Jane, I don't want anything more right now but I want you to be back to 100% before we make love baby. I couldn't forgive myself if I hurt you." She kisses me softly.

She stands in front of me and turns on the shower. Watching the water pellets drip down her skin has me incredibly aroused, and as she picks up the washcloth and starts to wash me. I close my eyes and revel in the feelings I'm getting from her fingertips on my skin.

She dries me off after the shower is done. She helps me get dressed and leads me back to bed, where I scoot over to give her the most room, and she smiles at me. She lays down next to me and starts caressing my arm as she leans her head against my shoulder. "I have missed being held by you."

"Well I love holding you. I've missed you. I missed the way you smell, how soft your skin and hair is, I miss how you are smaller than me so I can hold you so close to me. I find the most solace when you are close to me."

"I feel like that also. My heart is yours Jane, frankly I believe it always has been. Every love that I have had failed because I was waiting for you. I was hoping that one day this would all be real because I think I have loved you from the minute you meet me."

"I laid my eyes on you and hoped that you would be mine. I wanted you to love me the way I love you. I find that when we are together that I feel complete, and for some reason not explained by science I always know when something bad happens."

"I know babygirl, but we are together at last. I know we can fast anything together. Let's go to bed for some reason I just got really tired."

"You have had a rough couple of days. We can go home tomorrow and we can be together at home with you and I. I'm going to call in and take some leave so we can be together. I want to take care of you.

As always, hope you enjoyed! Please leave a review.
