Jane was balancing on her twitching leg, waving her hands around in a search of stable position while Maura calmly stood like a tree, feeling one with the Earth.

"You have to breathe, Jane." She said with her eyes closed.

"I am breathing! I wouldn't be alive if I wasn't."

"You are very stubborn this morning. Yoga is supposed to make you relaxed, not angry."

Jane rolled her eyes, hands still desperately waving.

"Oh, come on, Maur! What about standing on one leg to no end is supposed to make me relax?"

"Just try to find the balance, both inside and outside. Breathe."

Her eyes shooting daggers she said: "You are so lucky that I love you."

Maura's lips twitched in a light smile. "Oh, come on. We both know that the only reason you're doing this is so that you could ogle my butt in leggings when I do the downward dog."

"You got me there. But I still love you."

Thinking about the bliss that was the past few weeks with Jane, Maura suddenly said:

"Let's come out."

Jane raised her eyebrows. "Come out of what? … Wait, you mean 'come out' come out?"

"Yes. I want the world to know!" Maura sang goofily.

Jane laughed, shaking her head at her partner's behaviour. "OK."

"OK?!"

"Yeah, why not."

"I can't believe it. I thought it would take way more persuading. And yet here you are saying 'OK' like it's the most casual thing in the world."

"I had some time to think about it. There's nothing to wait for now. And besides, can you imagine the faces of Tommy and Frankie when we tell them?"

Maura could picture it very well. The way Tommy's jaw would hit the floor. How Frankie would try to say something but fail while trying to process it. "That is certainly something to look forward to."

"I know, right? Also, they will be so freakin' jealous of me." A piece of old sibling rivalry coming to surface.

"And what about work? Should we say anything?"

"I don't think it's anybody's business. But I guess we can tell to Korsak and Frost."

"Do you think they suspect anything, yet?"

"They better! What kind of detectives are they otherwise?"

"But before we get to all that there's still one problem."

Knowing that the first one to officially know about their relationship has to be Angela, they exchanged a resigned look.

"I know, my mother."

Angela's voice rang through the whole house. "The kitchen is for eating! And not for … " She dramatically gestured in general direction of Jane's crotch.

"eating?" Jane smugly helped her finish the sentence, the rising anger making her brave.

"Jane!" Maura looked at her disbelievingly.

"Oh, god!" Angela just turned around, needing a moment.

Jane faced Maura. "What? It's not my problem what she saw, I've had it with her nosiness! And normally I can bear it, because she means well, but now when I have finally found some happiness, here she comes again, inserting herself into my life and MY BUSINESS!"

"You are my business, Jane! You are my daughter, my ONLY daughter. I can't watch you throwing your life away."

"That's the opposite of what I'm doing. Maura and I are together. We were in love for ages and one night, somehow, we just sort of ended up realizing how much more there is. There has never been a right guy and how could have been when we had feelings for each other all along."

Angela took a moment to breathe.

"So, this isn't just you girls, scratching an itch – "God, ma'!" – until the right guys show up? You are really together…"

"Yes, yes we are." Both of them agreed.

Jane's mom was in thought. Then she looked at the girls.

"There is still one thing, that I have to say." And before Jane could start her protests, she took Maura's hands into her own and to their complete surprise she said: "Welcome to the family, Maura."

They were both so taken aback, that they didn't even struggle against the bear hug they suddenly found themselves in.

"I'm glad that you're both happy."

THE END


This is my first fanfic ever. Rizzoli and Isles is a really good series. However, I still think it could have gotten to a whole new level of good, if Jane and Maura became an item. The showrunners didn't 'rob the fans', they just robbed themselves without even realizing. I'm sure it would have happened in a different way than what I just wrote about, but who cares. I like to laugh and I had a lot of fun with this. A MASSIVE thank you for the reviews, I read them all and truly appreciate them. Thank you for reading it, I hope you enjoyed.
