Angela and Jane watched the two walk out of the apartment. Angela reached up, slapping her daughter upside the head.
"Ow, what was that for?" Jane whined grabbing her head.
"For being stupid," Angela said.
"What are you talking about?" Jane asked.
"Maura. Who do you think I'm talking about? You two have been tip toeing around each other for what, three, four years now. Now look, Beca put the move on her before you did. I'm getting tired of seeing you not doing anything about it," Angela said getting onto her daughter.
"You don't think Beca would actually do anything, right?" Jane asked. Beca knew how she felt about Maura.
"With that girl? I don't know. I hope not, but you need to get your head out of the clouds and get with Maura already."
"I can't," Jane whispered.
"Why the hell not?" Angela screamed.
"Because she can't love me, I'm not good enough for her," Jane screamed back. "I could never give her the things she deserves."
"And you think Beca can provide that?" Angela asked her in disbelief, not bashing her other daughter, but trying to make Jane see, her and Beca were the same.
"It's what Maura wants," Jane said sadly.
"The hell it is. Maura wants you, and if you can't see that then you're hopeless," That's when Beca and Maura entered the apartment.
"Angela, may I speak with you for a moment?" Maura asked.
"Yeah, we'll talk in the hall," Angela said looking at her daughter, jane didn't look up and stared at the wall. Maura nodded and walked out the door. Angela followed.
"Dude, are you a complete moron?" Beca asked incredulously.
"Excuse you?" Jane said voice filled with anger. Beca shook her head.
"You actually think Maura has feelings for me?" Beca asked in disbelief.
"Well she accepted your date offer, didn't she?" Jane said. Beca laughed.
"Of course she did. You never had the balls to do it."
"So you let her say yes, even though you know how I feel about her?."
"Then you should have had the damn balls to ask her out. Plus, I didn't even think she would say yes," Beca said. Jane started tearing up and cried. Beca sighed and walked over, hugging her sister.
"She doesn't like me like that," Beca assured her.
"How do you know?" Jane whispered.
"Because, when we hang out, all she does is cry," Beca said stroking Janes hair as she cried into her neck.
Jane eventually stopped and wiped her tears away, "Do I make her cry?"
Beca sighed, "Yeah, Janie, you do." She said, no longer sugar-coating it. "Jane," Beca sighed. "I know you think you aren't good enough, but Janie, you are. Okay? You are in love with her, so get your head out of your ass and tell that poor girl before she cries herself to sleep again," Beca said trying to reason with her.
"I can't," Jane said shaking her head. "Not right now, at least. But I will tell her, tonight, I promise. Can you keep her company until then?"
"Of course I can, are you okay now? You're not mad at me, right?" Beca asked.
"No, I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at myself," Jane chuckled nervously, "Thank you, Becs."
"No problem. Are you going to stay the night like we planned?" Beca asked.
"If things work out, I'll probably sleep with Maura." Beca raised an eyebrow, "Not like that," Jane said punching Becas shoulder lightly.
"You never know..." Beca joked. Jane playfully smacked her arm again. "Kidding," Beca said holding her hands up then smirked, "Well... mostly. Now come on, we have stuff to pack." Beca was glad Jane was better and not mad at her. Hopefully, this would all be over tonight.
Angela and Maura walked out into the hall.
"Aright, what are you two girls up to?" Angela asked, getting straight to the point.
"Beca's taking me on a fake date to make Jane jealous," Maura explained.
"Well it's already working," Angela said.
"Good. I'm tired of trying, Angela," Maura sighed, "I just… I love her so much," Maura whispered tearing up. "How can she not see it?" Maura asked.
"Sweetheart, you have to tell her," Angela said, grabbing Maura's shoulders and rubbing on them, "Shes as stub born as a mule and she won't know until you tell her," Angela said hugging her.
"I can't, I'm too scared right now. But right now I'm going to go in there and everything is going to go back to the way it was, with Jane making jokes and picking on me. Because that's what Jane does, she ignores her feelings, and I'm just tired of waiting. I'll deal with it my feelings tomorrow… possible," Maura said. Angela nodded in understanding.
"So what are you girls going to do?" Angela asked.
"Beca's going to come over with her mixes," Maura said.
"Okay, is she still spending the night?" Angela asked.
"As far as I know, oh and my sister is coming over. She's also spending the night," Angela brightened up.
"That's great; I can't wait to meet her. Why haven't we met her before? We've known you for three years," Maura smiled.
"She's been at college, so she rarely comes and visits. But we usually have phone conversations on a regular basis. I'm sorry it's taken three years for you to meet her," Maura apologized, they were all gradually coming down from their emotions.
"It's fine, I'll cook us all supper," Angela said excitedly.
"She's actually going to be arriving around nine, so she will probably not be hungry," Maura assumed.
"Well I'll cook breakfast in the morning. Now, let's see what those two are up to." Angela and Maura walked in when Angela noticed a patch of cloth on Becas right shoulder.
"What's that?" Angela asked pointing Becas shoulder. Beca blushed and rubbed the back of her neck.
"Oooh," Jane said, like what other kids do when their classmates get called to the principals office. "Someone got caught." Jane teased and Beca mentally kicked herself, knowing she should have worn a longer sleeved shirt. Though she was glad Jane was teasing her, because that meant they were definitely okay now.
"What are we talking about?" Beca asked, trying to play dumb.
"Beca Rizzoli, you better tell me this instances," Angela said in her mom voice.
Beca huffed. Damn, she used the mommy voice, Beca thought. "I got another tattoo," Beca mumbled.
"I'm sorry, what?" Angela asked, not being able to hear her.
Beca sighed, "I got another tattoo," Beca said more clearly.
"When did you get it?" Angela asked crossing her arms.
"Three days ago," Beca said scuffing her shoe.
"Let me see... Jane, go fix some breakfast for everyone."
"I've got it," Maura said.
"Yeah, don't want Jane to burn the house down," Beca said with a smirk, earning a smack from Angela.
"Be nice to your sister." Angela said. Jane laughed and stuck her tongue out, also earning a smack from Angela. "You too," Angela said. Maura chuckled at the exchange between the three.
"Maura laughed. Why doesn't she get slapped?" Jane whined.
"Because she's the only good child here," Angela said. Both Jane and Beca scoffed. Things were definitely back to normal.
"Why do I feel like I should be insulted by that?" Maura asked, leaving for the kitchen. Angela quickly ripped off Beca's bandage.
"Ow. Son of a bitch, Ma." Beca screamed.
"That's what you get, now hold still," Angela looked at the design. There were six purple flowers all tied into a vine "Wow, Beca it's beautiful, and it's my favorite color."
Beca smiled. "Of course it is. It was Jane's idea, than I had Maura design it, and the six flowers represent you, Jane, Tommy, Frankie, Maura, and T.J."
"I'll let you get away with this one, but ask next time," Angela said.
"Yes, Ma," Beca kissed her Ma on the cheek.
"Come on. Let's go pack up while Ma and Maura cooks breakfast." Jane said, leading to her room, where most of Beca's stuff was. Beca and Jane started packing everything in suitcases. They packed two boxes of bed comforters.
"Do you want me to pack your DJ stuff?" Jane asked, even though she knew the answer.
"Dude no. You don't touch, no one touches. Not even Ma touches." Beca said instantly, running over to protect her DJ equipment. Jane threw her hands up and laughed as she returned to helping Beca pack her things.
"Breakfast," Maura yelled after a few minutes. Jane and Beca looked at eachother then ran to the kitchen, laughing and shoving eachother.
"Hey now, knock it off," Angela said. Maura chuckled as she set everything out, there was eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast. Angela started fixing everyone a plate.
"Wow, bacon. And Maura didn't even complain about our health," Beca said teasingly.
"Just wait for it," Jane whispered. As they ate, Maura started listing off the negative side effects of bacon.
"So, are there any positive effects of bacon?" Jane asked, cleaning the table off.
"In my opinion, no," Maura said.
"Sure there is, it tastes fucking great." Beca said with a smirk, making them laugh. Angela smacked her youngest daughter on the head.
"Language. Now, did you girls get everything packed?" Angela asked.
"Yes, Ma," They grumbled together.
"Alright, let's go put everything in the cars," Jane said after everyone finished breakfast. Everyone grabbed something, only leaving two suitcases and Beca's DJ equipment, but Beca was going to hold on to that herself.
They put the boxes of comforters in Maura's car, and two suitcases in Jane's. They headed back upstairs.
"We can get the rest, right Maura?" Angela said already getting a box and handing it to Maura.
"Of course, is this it?" Maura asked talking about the box she had and the one Angela now had.
"Yeah. There's her DJ stuff, but you know she's going to hold on to all of that until the flight, then hold onto it the entire flight as well," Angela said making a pointed look at Beca. Maura nodded, grabbing a case and they walked out.
"So, how are you going to tell Maura?" Beca asked their Ma and Maura walked out.
"I don't know," Jane sighed. "What are you two going to talk about on your date?" Jane asked mockingly.
"Her sister, apparently she said I was hot, so I'm going to see if I'm allowed to date her." Jane laughed and shook her head.
"You're unbelievable, do you even know what she looks like?"
"If she's anything like Maura, she's probably super-hot."
"Don't talk about…"
"Down Jane, down," Beca laughed. "I'm teasing. Maura is quite beautiful, but I don't like her that way. Besides, her sister is coming over to spend the night," Beca winked suggestively. Jane chuckled shaking her head.
"I know how you are. No sex, Beca."
"I wasn't thinking that," Beca protested.
Jane raised her eyebrows, "You know I'm a detective, right? I know when someone's lying."
Beca shrugged. "Well at least it's not going to take me... What, two, three years?" Beca teased.
"Maybe I should go get a drink before going there. Get my nerves out of the way. Come up with a speech," Jane said.
"It wouldn't hurt, God knows you need it," Beca teased.
Jane smiled. "I'm going to miss you, Becs." Jane grabbed Beca into a hug. Beca was really the only person Jane hugged willingly, and Beca rarely hugged people, she wasn't into cuddling.
"I'm going to miss you, too." Beca held onto Jane and started sobbing.
"Hey now... What's wrong, Becs?" Jane asked, wiping at the tears.
"I just wish Mom was here." Beca sniffled and Jane herself started tearing up.
"I know Becs, me too," Jane whispered and pulled Beca back into a hug. "You know she would be so proud of you, Becs. With the DJing, and how you turned out."
Beca could only nod. Then, she chuckled. "She would probably slap you for being stubborn towards Maura," Beca said, and both of them laughed lightly.
"She probably would," Jane agreed.
Beca held onto Jane tighter. "I love you, you know that right?"
"I love you, too, Becs." Angela and Maura walked into the room and saw the scene. Angela instantly went over and wrapped them in a big hug.
"What's wrong with my girls?" Angela asked, kissing each on the head.
"Just thinking about mom," Beca explained.
Angela nodded knowingly. "She would have been proud of you both," Angela said.
"That's what Jane said," Beca noticed Maura standing awkwardly to the side. "Come on, Maura, you're part of this family, too." Maura smiled and went to the other side, placing Beca in the middle. "Now I definitely feel short." They all burst into laughter and broke apart. Beca wiped at her eyes. "If anyone asks, I'm still a bad ass."
"I can't lie," Maura said, only half-joking.
"Ouch," Beca feigned hurt. "You wound me." Beca said.
"That's not possible, word can't actually wound a person so…" Jane interrupted
"Alright, now that the gooey family stuff is over, I'm going out for a little bit," Jane gave Beca a knowing look. "I'll be by your house in a few hours, Maura.," Jane said softly to her, rubbing her arm. Maura tensed for only a second before nodding. Beca nodded at her sister in understanding.
"Alright sis, I'll see you in a few," Beca replied. Jane changed clothes and headed to the Dirty Robber. Beca knew Jane would go there for drinks.
"I was wondering if you want to pick up some take out for tonight?" Maura asked.
"What? The Maura Isles, the very health cautious person wants take out? Why, I thought I would never see the day," Beca said over dramatically. Angela chuckled.
"Ha ha... Funny." Maura said sarcastically.
"I thought it was funny," Beca said with a shrug, "take out sounds good, though."
"So what's left?" Angela asked.
"Just my equipment, which I'm carrying. No one touches it." Beca said defensively holding it even tighter.
"Jeez, you would think you'd die." Angela said.
"I might." Beca replied seriously.
"How could you possibly die if someone touches it? That doesn't even make sense." Maura said. Beca and Angela chuckled.
"Come on, Maura. Let's go to your house." Beca said as they walked out of the apartment.
Skip to the house,
Angela and Beca pulled into Maura's drive way.
"Make sure she doesn't cry too much, Becs," Angela said softly, Beca nodded.
"I'll do my best, Ma," Beca said watching Maura enter the house, Angela nodded.
Beca grabbed the takeout and her DJ equipment and headed into the house. Angela went into the guest house.
Beca entered and saw Maura in the kitchen where she was already inside pouring some wine.
Beca walked over, placing her equipment on the living room table, and then walked into the kitchen. Maura was finishing her wine then started to fill it again.
"Can I have some?" Beca asked. Maura looked up and shrugged.
"Just don't let me see it," Maura said.
"Oh, so it's one of those nights. I figured it would be." Beca said, placing the food on the table and putting it on plates.
"What nights?" Maura asked, helping with the food.
"Whenever you are okay with me drinking, it usually ends in crying."
"Am I that predictable?" Maura asked sadly.
Beca shrugged, grabbing her plate. Maura followed her into the living room.
"You aren't really predictable, Maura, it's just from experience."
"I'm sorry." Maura mumbled, sitting down. Beca sat her food down and started up her mixes. She pulled up Maura's special mixes; it was the classical section.
"Maura, there is nothing to be sorry about. I'm just glad I'm here to help." Beca started the first mix and sat down. They ate in a peaceful silence and when they finished, Beca took the boxes and threw them away, putting the leftovers in the refrigerator. Beca tip-toed and got the tequila. She downed a shot, knowing she would need it.
"Alright," Beca said as she came back into the living room and sat beside Maura. "So, do you want to talk about it?"
"How your sister is a stupid idiot?" Maura asked making Beca chuckle.
"She is that," Beca agreed. "Can I tell you a secret?"
Maura sighed and downed her fourth glass of wine. She lay down on the couch, placing her head in Beca's lap, "I can't guarantee it will stay a secret for long."
"Oh right, The whole "hives" thing. Is that, like, really serious?" Beca asked making Maura nod.
"I lied once, saying I finished my homework when I really didn't, and I passed out," Maura said.
"Damn," Beca said surprised.
"Exactly," Maura replied with a sigh.
"Do you ever cuss?" Beca asked.
"No. I have never cussed." Maura stated.
"I bet you cuss in the bed room," Beca joked, winking. Maura chuckled.
"What is with you and my sex life?"
"Maybe I want to be a part of it," Beca winked and Maura laughed, shaking her head.
"You are unbelievable," Maura said.
Beca shrugged, "You love me for it, and you know I'm not actually serious when I flirt with you. It's just who I am, I'm naturally flirty."
"I know, Beca," Maura whispered.
"Good, beause you're hot and everything, but it might ruin my chances with your sister," Beca teased, only half-joking.
"You know if you hurt her, I will kill you, and no one will find your body," Maura said seriously as she sat up to look at her.
Beca laughed. "I know you will, Maura. You've now warned me twice."
"I know you Beca," Maura said and Beca chuckled.
