I don't own Rizzoli and Isles, but I wish I did.
A/N: Thanks for all your reviews, follows, everything! I'm having a lot of fun writing this, so I'm glad y'all are enjoying it so much. Sorry for any mistakes!
The blonde smirked, "It's the only way I sleep, Jane."
Jane squeezed the blonde close to her and whispered in her ear, "Well, I guess it's good I brought an extra set of pjs. You can borrow mine."
"Jane, you tease!" The indignant doctor smacked the brunette's shoulder.
"Turnabout is fair play, Doctor." Jane laughed thinking of all the times Maura had teased her in past.
"Fair enough, Jane. Let's get out and go to bed." A yawn punctuated Maura's statement.
The two women dried off keeping their resolve to not look at one another. They knew that as soon as they did their plans for sleeping were out the window. Although sleeping in the buff would have been delightful, Maura and Jane decided to dress and slide between the sheets.
This was the first time the two women had shared a bed, so they relished holding each other tight.
After cuddling for a few minutes, the brunette began to shift uncomfortably.
"Maura, I love you, and I love cuddling with you, but I'm getting really hot. Do you mind if I sleep on my side of the bed?"
The doctor let out a relieved breath, "No, not at all!" Maura wriggled away. "I was getting hot, too." She turned to face Jane. "I've never understood people who can sleep touching each other."
"Me neither." Jane shimmied a little closer to the honey blonde and gave her a lingering kiss before she moved to her cooler side of the bed.
"Good night, Doctor."
"Good night, Tiger." Their giggles filled the room.
R & I R & I R & I
In the morning, Maura managed to convince Jane to have more than just coffee for breakfast.
Frost and Frankie walked in on the tail end of Maura convincing Jane to eat. "I'm just fine, Maur'. I'll eat a big lunch."
"Please, Jane." Maura gave Jane her patented puppy dog eyes and gently ran her hand down the brunette's arm. "For me?" Maura added a small lip pout for good measure.
People who didn't know they were together could easily interpret this as a simple friendly gesture. Her friends and family knew otherwise. Frankie and Frost being two of those people. They chuckled as they watched the brunette let out an exasperated sigh and stomp over to the breakfast station.
The doctor felt like this was a personal win as she watched Jane eat fresh fruit and cereal. Well, the cereal was Cocoa Puffs, but it was better than nothing. Maura was pleased that Frankie and Frost joined them as they finished their breakfasts.
"So, are we ready for today?" Frankie questioned the assembled chaperones at the breakfast table.
Jane pulled a folder out a satchel she used for the trip. She thumbed through it until she came to the page with the itinerary printed on it.
"Yep. First, the tour of the White House, followed by the Capitol, and then the Supreme Court. We'll end the day at the National Mall, so the kids can visit the Lincoln Memorial, World War II Memorial, and the like. This will give them the chance to have a little free time to explore."
Their final day, teachers had the flexibility to take their students to places they deemed important. Maura was excited about visiting all of the historical sites, but she couldn't help but look forward to the Smithsonian Museums like the National History Museum. She had visited the museum multiple times in her life, but she had never had the chance to do so with students.
Jane was most excited about the Crime and Punishment Museum. It was a perfect for her Criminology class. Lastly, she had planned time for the kids to spend time in the Holocaust museum. Maura and Jane agreed that this was one of the most important stops for the kids to make.
The groups were all loaded onto the bus by 7:30 without a single straggler. Jane was shocked because this never happened. Teenagers were notoriously late to everything.
The first day of sightseeing went very well. Jane and Maura used the day as an opportunity to take several candid photos of their students. Jane always enjoyed submitting the pictures she took to the yearbook for them to find later. The kids loved to see themselves when the yearbook rolled out in spring.
The day progressed until the group stopped at the National Mall. The two women thought they were doing a decent job of keeping their relationship quiet, but the teenagers were smart.
The students waited until they could get Maura alone. Jane was off playing frisbee with some of the kids while Maura was cuddled up on a bench enjoying the view. The changing colors of the leaves were breathtaking.
Suddenly, a herd of teenagers came over to Maura and plopped down next to her on the bench.
"Dr. Isles, are you married?" a blonde junior girl in the group asked.
"Excuse me? That's a rather personal question." Maura laughed at the girl's boldness and was taken by surprise at their unexpected appearance.
"Well, the title of doctor is a rather ambiguous." The blonde junior looked around to her friends for support. Maura was impressed by the girl's word choice.
Another girl who was one of Jane's students admitted, "We're just curious. You've just never talked about having a husband before."
Maura knew it was better to give them enough information to make them happy.
"In answer to your question, I am not married."
One of the girls standing next to the bench piped up, "Do you want to be?"
They really get to the point.
"If I meet the right person, then I would like to." Maura tried to evade the question as best she could.
The teenagers mumbled among themselves before the same girl who started the conversation volunteered, "Mr. Conner is single. Have you thought about him?"
"No! He's at least ten years younger than I am." Maura gave herself a mental facepalm.
Way to feed the fire, Maura.
"Oo! Mr. Lopez. He's closer to your age. You should date him," another teenager in the herd exclaimed.
Maura shook her head at the group. "Really, I appreciate your concern for making sure I am happy, but really it's not…" Maura was interrupted before she had a chance to finish.
A short sophomore exclaimed, "I know! Ms. Rizzoli!"
Maura was starting to lose track of which one of the group was talking to her; a girl who hadn't spoken yet said, "She's single and you both seem to be really good friends already. You two should date!"
"Yeah, you'd be really hot together." A boyfriend who had be dragged along and had been silent the whole time admitted.
"Eww, Sam!" All the girls turned and smacked the unfortunate boy.
Blushing a deep red, he looked at Maura and apologized.
"Sorry, Dr. Isles, I didn't mean to say that outloud."
Maura gave the poor boy a smile that conveyed that she took no offense.
"Ok, Dr. Isles. We've decided you and Ms. Rizzoli should get together," the blonde junior who apparently was the leader of the pack stated.
Maura crossed her arms and smirked at the students. "Oh, really?"
"Yes. If I were you, I'd get her before Ms. Thomas does," Jane's student warned.
Maura immediately frowned.
The kids could tell that they had hit a sore spot and leaped on it.
"Yeah, I have Ms. Thomas for English, and she's always talking about Ms. Rizzoli."
The kids all looked over in the direction of the beautiful brunette who was currently speaking with said Kellie Thomas.
Unfortunately for Jane she had been dragged from her frisbee game and had to discuss the logistics of dinner with Kellie. Since kids were around, Jane made sure to act like her usual affable self. Kellie took Jane's behavior as a green light and tried flirting with the brunette.
When the kids looked back at the doctor, Maura's expression would have wilted flowers.
"See what we mean Dr. Isles? Ms. Thomas is on the prowl." The blonde junior stated nodding her head at the group of teenagers with her.
Maura cleared her throat and plastered on a smile, "Why don't you kids go walk around the Mall for a bit? Go get some hot chocolate."
The doctor reached into her purse and retrieved her wallet. She opened it and removed enough bills to cover the cost of the drinks.
The kids all smirked, "Ok! Thanks, Dr. Isles!"
Much to Maura's relief, the kids ran off in the opposite direction.
After the students were at a safe enough distance, she walked over to Jane. Kellie saw Maura approaching and decided to leave, but she made sure to run her hand down Jane's arm with the end goal of squeezing her hand. She made the mistake, though, of squeezing Jane's wrist in the process. Immediately, the brunette wrenched her hand from Kellie's grasp.
This caught the insufferable woman off guard and gave Jane the opening she needed to leave.
Not caring who saw, Jane grabbed Maura's hand and dragged her to the bench Maura had occupied only moments before.
"Hey, Jane. You ok?" Maura's eyes registered intense concern.
Jane started rubbing at her wrist. "Yeah. I just don't like anyone to touch my scar but you."
Maura delicately took Jane's wrist into her hands and removed the brunette's watch. The doctor gently massaged the delicate skin around Jane's scar.
Jane visibly relaxed following the doctor's ministrations. Letting out a deep sigh, "I love you, Maur'."
Still soothing Jane's scar, Maura leaned in close and whispered, "I love you, Jane Rizzoli. Now sit tight. I'll be right back."
The doctor left the bench and walked over to a vendor selling hot drinks. She returned with a tea for herself and a coffee for Jane.
"Here you go." Maura gave Jane the sweetest smile. "The temperature is dropping." Plumes of steam rising from their cups supported the honey blonde's observation.
"Would you mind it if I snuggled up next to you for a bit?" Maura bit her lip and gave Jane a look that the brunette couldn't possibly resist.
"Come here." Jane threaded her arm through the doctor's to share her body heat. The two women thought that this looked innocent enough.
"Apparently, the kids have decided that you and I should get married," Maura chuckled.
Jane almost spit out her coffee. "What?"
Maura snickered, "They told me that Ms. Thomas was on the prowl, and I should grab you before she does. Apparently, she talks about you all the time in class."
Jane let out a tired sigh. "She just doesn't give up, does she?"
"It appears that way," Maura took a sip of her tea.
"I may need to talk to her soon. It's bordering on unprofessional. I mean, c'mon. The kids are starting to notice."
"Jane, you could argue the same with us," Maura said quietly. "We're dating, and I think the kids are starting to figure that out, too."
The brunette thought about refuting what Maura said, but thought better of it.
"You're right, Maur', but it's different." Jane shrugged.
Maura gave Jane a puzzled look, "How so, Jane?"
"We don't make it obvious nor are we overly affectionate in front of our students." Jane shifted in her seat to get closer to Maura and her body heat. "I mean, I don't think the kids would care as long as we maintain boundaries in front of them."
"Oh, so you mean having intercourse on my desk is off limits," Maura deadpanned.
This time Jane really did spit out her coffee.
"Really? Intercourse?" Jane said wiping her chin.
In a sultry voice, Maura purred, "Would you have prefered me to say fu- mmphf!" Maura didn't even get to finish before Jane's hand clapped over her mouth.
"Maura!"
Maura had a twinkle in her eye as Jane withdrew her hand.
"What am I going to do with you?" Jane shook her head.
Maura smirked, "Well, I can think of a few things."
"You're going to be the death of me," Jane remarked with genuine affection in her voice.
The doctor smiled at Jane in response.
For a few quiet moments, the two women simply enjoyed each other's company.
Maura snuggled deeper into Jane's side.
"I know it's only been about three months since we met Jane, but I am so incredibly happy with you. Thank you for loving me."
Jane grinned and wrapped her arm around the blonde. "I feel the exact same way, Maur'."
They stayed that way until it was time to load the bus.
R & I R & I R & I
The bus unloaded in front of the Hard Rock Cafe, and much to everyone's relief the venue was prepared for the herd of eighty kids and chaperones. Rather than sit separately at a chaperones' table, Jane and the other teachers decided to hang out with their kids. Jane and Maura sat together, of course. Unsurprisingly, the kids from earlier who had grilled Maura grabbed the seats by the two women. Maura internally groaned.
Maura leaned over to Jane and whispered, "These are the kids who decided that we should get married."
Jane let out an audible groan.
"Well, Maur', this should be fun then." Jane gave Maura a small grimace and squeezed her thigh under the table.
After the kids regaled the women with anecdotes from their day, they went in for the kill.
"Ms. Rizzoli," the blonde junior from earlier had a devilish gleam in her eye as she addressed Jane.
"Yes, Maggie?" Jane was feeling a little apprehensive. She felt Maura subtly squeeze her thigh under the table.
"We here at the table think that you and Dr. Isles should date." Maggie stated matter of factly.
"You do, do you?" the brunette remarked.
Jane looked at Maura and raised her eyebrow. The look Maura gave her in return conveyed, "I wasn't kidding!"
Jamie, the girl from Jane's class, concurred, "Yes. We already discussed the matter with Dr. Isles, and we all think she is in agreement." The teenager and her friends knew that they were really stretching the truth.
"She said that?" Jane knew that the girl were fibbing, and her tone conveyed that.
Backtracking a little, Jamie admitted, "Well, she didn't say yes outright, but she didn't say no!"
Several voices murmured their agreement.
Maura decided to help Jane, "Do you all really think we would tell you if we ever did start dating?"
Maggie didn't even hesitate, "No, but we can already tell you are!"
The girl had guts.
All the students in earshot, voiced their agreement rather loudly. This drew the attention of some of the other tables.
Jane waited until the other patrons went back to their own conversations.
"Excuse me?" Jane's tone and expression indicated extreme irritation.
Maggie could tell that she went too far and her expression said as much, so one of her friends came to her rescue.
"Honestly, Ms. Rizzoli we wouldn't care."
Another teenager added, "We really like you, Dr. Isles. The two of you would be really cute together."
"Besides," Jamie added with an evil grin, "It would really piss off Ms. Thomas."
"Jamie! Language!" Maura scolded.
"Sorry, Dr. Isles." Jamie had the decency to look contrite.
To end the discussion and lighten the mood, Jane said to all the kids involved in the conversation, "Well, kids. If we ever start dating, you'll be the last to know."
With that being said, Maura grabbed Jane's hand under the table giving it a soft squeeze.
R & I R & I R & I
Bam!
Jane pressed Maura's body against the door of their room. It was after curfew, so only adults were allowed in the hall. Once the doors of the elevator shut and the last guest had departed, Jane had pounced on the the honey blonde. By the time the elevator doors opened again, Maura had her legs wrapped around Jane's waist and the brunette's hands grabbing her ass.
Jane was impressed with herself after she managed to open the room with Maura wrapped around her body.
The door shut and the sound of ripping clothing cut through the quiet of the room.
"Oh, shit! Sorry, Maura!" Jane ripped open Maura's blouse exposing her heaving chest.
Rather than facing a disgruntled and angry Maura, Jane had a laughing and amused doctor in her arms.
"If you had ripped my trip t-shirt, then I would've been angry. I'm glad I changed when we got back to the hotel." Maura winked and laughed at the chuckling brunette.
A thought occurred to Jane before they went any further.
"Do you have your phone?"
"Yes, it's in my purse." Jane looked down to see the honey blonde's purse lying on the ground next to the door.
"Let me grab your phone in case anyone calls us. Short of an emergency or anyone knocking at the door, I refuse to be disturbed."
"Good idea."
Both women knew this was prudent since they were in charge of twenty teenagers between the two of them.
With Maura's legs still wrapped around her waist, Jane managed to retrieve their phones and place them within reach. Again, Jane was impressed with herself.
Slowing down to take care of their responsibilities did not dampen their desire. Jane guided them towards their bed divesting the blonde and herself of their remaining clothes.
Both revelled at the sight of the other's nude body.
A soft hum of contentment came from both women as their naked bodies pressed together.
"I love you, Jane." Maura gently kissed the brunette's lips. "I love you, too, Doctor."
Jane and Maura were just about to take the final step when…
Knock Knock Knock
"Son of a bitch!" Jane was pissed as hell.
Usually, Maura would have reprimanded Jane's language, but she totally agreed with Jane's sentiment.
"Hold on, babe," Jane crawled off her girlfriend and walked over to the door putting on shorts and a t-shirt along the way.
Knock Knock Knock
"I'm coming!" Jane called out.
Or at least I was going to.
Without bothering to look through the peephole, an act she would have done naturally if she wasn't so annoyed, Jane flung her door open.
Standing right in front of her, was fricking Kellie Thomas dressed in a long robe and slippers.
"Kellie, what the hell are you doing? It's 11:00," Jane paused as she took in Kellie's total appearance, "and you're in your robe." Jane held tightly to the door in frustration.
"I just needed to talk to you and say that I'm sorry for my behavior."
A big red warning light was flashing in Jane's head.
"Can't we talk at a more reasonable hour?" Jane rubbed her hand over her face.
"It can't wait," Kellie shook her head.
Kellie opened the front of her robe to expose her completely naked body underneath.
"I thought I'd give you this as an apology."
"What the hell, Kellie!?"
Maura could hear Kellie talking to the brunette, so she wrapped a robe around her body to join Jane at the door.
The doctor was cursed by the same sight as Jane was, a naked Kellie Thomas.
Jane heard the honey blonde's gasp.
Less than half an hour ago, Kellie had seen Maura sitting at the bar in deep conversation with Frost and Frankie. When Kellie rushed off to her room to get ready, she didn't realized that Jane was in the bathroom in the bar. Kellie thought Jane had left Maura and gone up to bed, so she thought she would have enough time to get to Jane before Maura reached their room. Needless to say, when Kellie saw the doctor in her robe, her blood boiled. She knew a way to salvage her plan and still get what she wanted, but she knew sacrifices would need to be made.
"Dr. Isles, I came to apologize to you, too." Kellie tried her best to sound sincere and gave a seductive shake to show off her goods the doctor.
Maura's face registered shock with a fine dose of disgust.
"I thought we could all have a threesome." Kellie looked both women up and down.
"What!? No!" Both Maura and Jane said simultaneously looking at each other in utter shock.
Before Kellie could even say another word, Jane shut the door in her face.
