Chapter 9
Jane was sitting on the bed in Weller's room. They had a frantic few weeks with case after case. This was the first time in a while where they were able to leave work at a reasonable time as the last couple of days was full of completing the dreaded paper work. She was in her, well Weller's t-shirt and shorts, waiting for him to come to bed. It was their routine to just sit and talk comfortably before they went to sleep. Jane liked to sit cross legged facing Weller and he liked to either sit up against the headboard or lie on his right side, it gave them a sense of normalcy. He entered the room, closed and locked the door behind him, it was a habit. Before he got comfortable on the bed he took something from his dresser, it was a box and he hid it behind him, he was rubbing his neck with his other hand and looking embarrassed.
"So I have something for you."
Kurt sat on the bed and placed the box in front of Jane
"Why?" Jane asked
Kurt just looked at her for a few seconds.
"I know it's late but we have been busy for the last couple of weeks…"
At Jane's blank look Weller knew he had to elaborate.
"It was Valentine's day on the 14th…"
Whatever reaction he was hoping for; her going stock still then proceeding to turn bright red wasn't it; she kept on looking from the box and back to him. He didn't think it was possible but she seemed to be getting redder by the second.
"Weller…"
"Jane…"
They both started at the same time.
"Weller…it may not…be…quite…me…"
"Jane, if you don't like it we can change it…"
They continued to stare at each other for a while. Kurt was completely confused. He could understand her wanting to change it after looking at it, he wasn't the greatest at buying presents unless it was for his nephew, and Sarah always said he was a big kid. Jane for some reason seemed embarrassed to even open the box.
"I know I'm not the best when it comes to buying gifts but honestly if you want to change it, its fine…"
Jane looked at him, he was crestfallen at the fact that she didn't even look at what he bought her. That got her thinking; Weller knew her quite well; sometimes better than she knew herself, so why would he…
Jane let out a loud groan, closed her eyes and flopped onto her pillow so she was lying down even though her legs were still tangled. The abrupt noise and movement caught Kurt off guard. He leaned down and had to move Jane's hair behind her ear as it was covering her face. Once he moved her hair he noticed she was still red.
"Jane?"
"I hate Zapata!" declared Jane emphatically
Kurt couldn't help but have a perplexed smile on his face.
"Okaaaaaay? Do you want to talk about it?"
Jane closed her eyes again.
"No but I should if not you're going to think I'm a bigger idiot than I am already!"
"Jane, you don't have to if…"
"No it's fine. It started…a few weeks ago…"
Kurt had a feeling that this was going to be a long story so he scooted down on the bed and stretched out on his right side facing Jane, who was now resting on her hands on her pillow looking at him, she was still red.
"Well you know we've tried going out for a 'girl's night' at least once a week, cases permitting?"
"Yeah. You haven't had one for a few weeks though…"
Jane still seemed so agitated that he did what he usually did when she was a little anxious, he slipped his left hand under her or well his t-shirt and started to rub her lower back in a way he knew she took comfort from, within a few seconds she let out a sigh and relaxed a little as well as returning to her normal colour.
"Well, remember we managed to go out two weeks in a row?"
Kurt nodded, still confused.
"Well it must have been at the beginning of the month and it was just me and Zapata, Patterson hadn't joined us yet and Sarah couldn't make that one…"
"Ok."
"Well, Zapata being Zapata was telling the traditions of Valentine's day…"
"Ok, I still don't see where this is going."
Jane closed her eyes in mortification but knew that Weller deserved total honestly for her believing the worst for even for a minute so she opened them and took a deep breath.
"Well Zapata was telling me that the traditional gift was lingerie…"
Kurt's hand stopped moving on her back, he was frozen then Jane watched as he turned red including the tips of his ears.
"Jane…"
"Weller I know! Granted as soon as you placed the box on the bed I did think… but then I realised that I was wrong. I'm so sorry for even thinking that! I was getting a little panicky as I can't even get changed in front of you. You've been great, I'm so lucky to have you…"
"Jane…"
"Weller, seriously, you have been great. I'm still so self-conscious about the scars. You see the few that are on my forearms and calves and Sarah and Sawyer have been great, they don't stare at me and I love them just for that but the rest of my body has a lot more scars, a lot more, you can probably feel some right now on my back. I like it when you do that by the way and it doesn't faze me that you're touching my scars. But touching and seeing are two different things…"
"Jane…"
"Weller, I know you don't care about the scars and that you still love me regardless, I know that but I still don't want to see…everyone wants their person to see them as beautiful and I know you do and you always will but that first time that you see me, the whole me I'm dreading, it's illogical I know but I can't help feeling that way…"
"Oh Jane!"
Kurt placed a kiss on her forehead and started to move his hand on her back again, when they were face to face again Jane pulled him into a deep kiss and kept her hand on his cheek.
"Then…"
"There's more?" asked Kurt incredulously
"This is Zapata we're talking about remember?"
It was Kurt's turn to groan and close his eyes; he opened them after a few seconds.
"Hit me with it!" declared Kurt wearily
Jane told him the rest and he just stared at her with a dropped jaw!
"Excuse me?"
"Exactly, if all the other stuff she showed me wasn't indelibly ingrained to my brain she then that on me, not literally thankfully although with Zapata I think I was lucky! I mean why? I get why but WHY? Then when I saw the box just I thought, wrongly I may add, that there was something along those lines in there but then I remembered that you've bought me gifts before and you've always had great taste and I knew then that you would never make me feel uncomfortable which is why I face planted in my pillow as I realised what and idiot I was!"
"Jane you don't have to open the box, its fine, I'll return it and …."
"NO! I know that it will be something I like in there… but… is it alright if I open it after the whole story?"
"There's more?"
"We went out two weeks in a row remember?"
Kurt groaned in frustration.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to!"
Jane sat up quickly and Kurt followed, his hand was still on her back.
"Oh no, you're not getting out of it that easily!"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't even try it! I had to listen to it first hand, you're getting it second hand so be grateful! I'm talking about Zapata after a drink."
"Oh my! It can't be that bad can it?"
The next thing he knew Jane collapsed onto his chest, her head just on his collar bone and she was groaning. He kept on rubbing his hand on her lower back and brought his other hand to her head and kissed her hair. She sat up and looked at him again red in the face.
"Ok, well you're going to hear everything mainly because if I had to sit through that you are going to know how I felt in a small way, it won't be the same but you'll get the idea. If you laugh just once I'll get Zapata to have a similar conversation with you somewhere where there are cameras and Patterson will hack whatever system and we'll have a team night where we all will watch the video of you having the most awkward conversation of your life with a member of your team. Got it?!"
She waited for him to nod before she started.
"Well remember we met up two weeks in a row, you already found out what happened during the first week, well listen up to what happened the following week."
Jane, Zapata and Patterson were sitting in a booth in the place they liked to go and have a drink. They were all on their second drink but by the looks of it Zapata was going to be on her third quite soon.
"So, dish!" demanded Zapata
"Dish on what?" Jane questioned
"Weller of course! Can he go ALL night?" Zapata asked
"He looks like he has A LOT of stamina!" declared Patterson
Jane choked on her drink at the turn of conversation, especially Patterson's contribution!
"Excuse me?" exclaimed Jane
"C'mon! Don't keep the details to yourself! We deserve to know how things in the bedroom are, speaking of which, have you tried the bathroom? Kitchen? Although be careful especially if he's cooking, cooking naked probably not the safest thing, you don't want Weller junior to get burned, although if he did you may want to kiss it better…the sofa is a good place, dining room table is also a must!"
"Why…why do you deserve to know private things about me and Weller?"
"Pfft, oh please, we had a front row seat to all the eye humping that was going on…" continued Zapata
"What?!" said Jane
"Zapata, you're wrong…" Patterson piped up
"Thanks Patterson!"
"Oh no, I agree with Zapata that we deserve to know, but what she's wrong about is all the eye sex that was going on. It was never eye sex, it was more much more. We could all see that you two had real feelings for each other pretty much right from the get go, it wasn't lust it was love…"
"When you're right you're right!" agreed Zapata
"…things happened for a reason and you two found your way back to each other and so we want to know how things are between you two, we don't mean the 'in front of the team' stuff, we can see that…"
"Yeah, it's kind of sickening in a way all the lovey dovey looks being thrown around when you think the other isn't looking but it is sweet to see you two as soon as you enter the locker room as then you become a couple and you do try and limit the PDAs in the building…"
"…but the quick kisses Weller gives you to the temple just make me swoon…" said Patterson
"Who uses 'swoon' nowadays?" asked Zapata
"I do, he's so sweet with you Jane! If this was a TV programme I would so be shipping you two, you could be Jeller, no…no you'd be Wellane…"
"What are you talking about?" asked Zapata
"You know when you blend the names of two people you want to get together, Jane and Weller would be Jeller, or Weller and Jane would become Wellane…"
"So Kurt and Doe would be Koe? Doe and Kurt would be Durt or Dot?"
"Yeah, you get it! We could have Jane and Kurt, Jurt or Kurt and Jane, Kane or Kurne!"
"Ok, those are silly, why do we need a different name? What's wrong with Weller and Jane?" asked Jane
The other two just gave her a look.
"I prefer Wellane!" announced Patterson
"Nah, I think I'll go with Jurt!"
Jane rolled her eyes.
"Have you done it on his desk yet?"
"No they haven't!"
"How do you know?" asked Zapata
"I do have access to the security system and I haven't seen them going at it in Weller's office or anywhere else for that matter!"
"You've been looking?" Jane asked
Patterson shrugged her shoulders.
Jane sat there with her mouth open and had no idea how to respond.
"Hey guys, what are you talking about?" Sarah asked
Jane had never been so relieved to see another person before.
"We were asking Jane if your brother was keeping her satisfied in the bedroom, do you hear anything from your room? Are they loud?"
Sarah looked at a red faced and embarrassed Jane and realised that Zapata was not exaggerating in the least.
"You're kidding right?" declared Sarah "I really don't want to hear about my brother's sex life, EWWW! Can we change the subject now?"
Jane breathed a sigh of relief and gave Sarah a smile to say thank you.
"Fine spoilsport! Let's move on to Reade! Does he satisfy you Sarah? Can he go all night?"
"Zapata!" Jane interrupted before Sarah had to listen to what she had to "Weller is Sarah's brother and Reade is mine! So let's drop it ok?"
Zapata huffed out a breath.
"Fine!"
Sarah received the drink she'd ordered when she first sat down and all four just sipped their drinks in silence, until Zapata started talking again.
"So Patterson, does the Dr have a good bedside manner?"
Jane groaned and laid her head on the table, Sarah just rolled her eyes.
"Oh the Dr has a GREAT bedside manner! Everyone says Brits are reserved well they haven't met Borden because he's anything but reserved in the bedroom! He keeps me SAT-TIS-FIED!
"Thank goodness for Sarah!" declared a red faced Kurt
"You're telling me!"
They were looking into each other's eyes and Kurt saw Jane go red again.
"So…are you going to open your present?"
"Oh I forgot!"
Jane turned around to get something from her bedside table. She placed five books on the bed.
"Er where did you get these from?"
"What makes you think I didn't buy them?"
Kurt just raised his eyebrows.
"Fine, they were in my locker on Valentine's day…"
"Jane you don't think I bought you those do you?"
"Of course not! Not even for a second! I'm assuming they're from Zapata! Do you think later on we can go through the first two and see if there's anything we would like to try?"
"Of course!"
Weller moved the box closer to Jane and she again moved to get something out of her bedside table. She turned and gave him a small wrapped box.
"You open your gift first."
"Are you sure?" Kurt asked
Jane nodded her head.
Kurt unwrapped and opened the small box and was shocked by what he saw. There sitting in the small container nestled on the velvet cushion was a pair of silver cufflinks. He took them out and looked at them. Each had a tiny compass in the centre and both were surrounded by the same numbers. There were also a different set of matching numbers around the circumference of each cufflink. Kurt looked at Jane with tears in his eyes; he leaned forward to kiss her on her forehead.
"Thank you!" Kurt said reverently "I get that this is the date we met…" pointing to one of the numbers on the circumference "… but what is this one?"
"That's the time we met. I know you technically saw me before but I wanted to put the time when we met for the first time, remember when I was 'Ma'am' and not 'Jane' yet? Then on the face around the compass face you have the longitude and latitude of the NYO. You are my starting point and I wanted to remember the time, date and place of when 'we' began.
Kurt kissed her forehead again and leaned his forehead against hers.
"I love you!" he whispered "Now open yours!"
Jane lifted the box onto her lap and began to unwrap it. She lifted the lid and was shocked by what she saw. In the box was a white t-shirt that read
'Hand over the coffee and nobody get hurts!'
Jane took the t-shirt out of the box and saw the matching three quarter pants inside, they were a black with miniature coffee cups all over them. Weller bought her a pair of cute pyjamas. She launched herself at him and kissed him which he responded to ardently.
"So you like them then?" Kurt asked
"I love them! I'm going to change into them now."
She placed a quick kiss to his lips before she got off of the bed with her new pyjamas and went to the bathroom to change. She was back within a couple of minutes with a wide smile on her face.
"What do you think?"
"Perfect, absolutely perfect!" declared Kurt
When Jane met his eyes she knew he was talking about her and not his gift. She went to the bed and got under the covers as did he and she kissed him for a while, one of his hands was under the pyjama top stroking her back and the other was in her hair keeping her close to him. They broke apart when air became a necessity. They both scooted down to get ready to go to sleep. Kurt turned off the lamp and Jane settled onto his chest, his left hand was still on her back while his right was in her hair. She loved listening to his heartbeat it usually lulled her into sleep.
"It's such a shame you know."
"What is?" Jane asked
"That I won't be able to have you in my office on my desk."
"Weller!" Jane said as she laughed
"Well I did think about it but now Patterson has ruined it for me, for us! How can we…in our work place when she's waiting to catch us so she can watch us? There's something wrong with that!"
The next day Weller bought a whole new set of shirts so he could use his cufflinks every day. He was very good about removing said cufflinks if he was going out into the field so they would be somewhere safe and wouldn't get damaged or lost.
A few weeks later they were all getting ready for a party that the FBI was holding so it was mandatory for them to attend, children were also included so Sawyer was also going not that he was too happy about it as he had to wear a shirt and tie whereas for the men they had to wear suits and women had to wear evening wear.
There was a knock on the bedroom door.
"Jane? Can I come in? I just need to get the cufflinks from my dresser."
"Of course!"
Weller was always the gentleman, even though they slept together he knew she was still reluctant to dress in front of him and as a result he always showered first so he could get changed really quickly before she was finished with her shower. If he had to enter the room he would either wait until he knew she would be dressed or knock and wait until she had enough time to put on a robe. Either way he would enter after she said it was ok and he would head directly to whatever he needed and not look in her direction and leave as quickly as he could.
The door opened and Weller stepped in and closed the door behind him.
"Hey Weller, can you do me a favour before you leave?"
"Sure, what do you need?" Kurt asked without looking in her direction
"Can you help me with this necklace?"
"Sure, give me a sec."
"It's ok I'll come to you!"
Kurt looked up and in Jane's direction and his mouth dropped open in shock. She was slowly walking towards him and she only had her sports bra and boy short panties on. Nothing else. It seemed as if it took her five minutes to get to him but he knew their room wasn't that big. He couldn't stop staring, she was magnificent. He saw that she was nervous and kept on swallowing. Eventually she stopped in front of him.
"Do you mind?"
Kurt just stared at her.
"Kurt?"
"Huh?"
Jane held up the necklace for him and he took it. Jane turned to face the other direction so she had her back to him and she waited for him to place the necklace in front of her and fasten it at the back. She waited for a minute; she had to look at him over her shoulder.
"Kurt? Is everything ok?"
"Hmmm? Oh yeah. Of course!"
He fastened the necklace for her and his hands rested on her shoulders while his thumbs stroked the back of her neck. They stayed like that for a couple of minutes neither of them wanted to move. Kurt moved his hands and took a step back.
"Before you leave can you help me with my dress?"
She looked over her shoulder again and watched as Weller nodded. She slowly walked to the bed where her dress was laid out. She picked it up and put it on and walked back to Weller who hadn't moved a muscle and turned her back on him and waited, again she had to look over her shoulder and saw Weller with his mouth open.
"Do me?"
That shook him from his daze.
"We can't Sarah and Sawyer are right in the living room plus for I what I want to do with you it will take all night and we only have about 15 minutes before we need to leave!"
Jane had a massive smile on her face from his response.
"I meant do my dress up for me!"
She watched as his ears turned a lovely shade of pink.
"Oh!"
Kurt quickly zipped up the dress and the hook right at the top.
"Thanks."
Jane went to slip her shoes on and grab her handbag, when she turned around Weller was still where she left him.
"Are you coming?"
"I think I'll stay in here for a few minutes." Kurt replied
Jane looked so confused by his reply
"Why?"
"If I go out there now I'll never ever be able to look my sister in the eyes ever again and I'll have to give Sawyer a crash course on where babies come from. It should be Sarah's job and or Reade's, don't get me wrong I'd do it if Sarah wants me to but not off the cuff. I'd need to sit and think what I'm going to say so the safest thing is for me to stay here for a few minutes until I calm down and look presentable!"
Jane looked down when he started to talk and saw the evidence that he wanted to hide from his sister and nephew.
"Can I kiss you?"
"Jane if you come anywhere near me right now I'll have to change my suit, I think it would be for the best if you wait for me in the living room. I'll be out in a few minutes."
"Save a dance for me?"
Kurt smiled.
"Hey, I'm going to be dancing with you most of the night, I may dance once each with Sarah, Patterson and Zapata if she hasn't drunk anything but the rest of the time I'm yours!"
Jane left him in the room and she had a wide smile on her face.
"What's got you in such a good mood?" Sarah asked
"You have the best brother ever!"
"Ok, care to elaborate?"
Jane had a secret smile on her face. Weller didn't even see the scars on her body, he saw her and he liked what he saw. He made her feel so wonderful.
