(Chapter Eight)

Jane was in the shower, as the water poured over her head she thought back to the day she had seen Maura and JJ loving Emily in the yoga room and compared it to what she had seen a couple of hours ago with just JJ and Emily. She finally understood what Maura had been saying all a long about the two women understanding the darkness in each other. She understood the rage within Emily after hearing the story but if she was honest the closest she had ever experienced was just jealousy when Ian had shown up years ago. She couldn't imagine the amount of control or was it love to stay out of Maura's life all those years. Whatever it was she wasn't going to allow Ian Faulkner to tear them apart now. They were like family and she wouldn't let Emily down she would have a talk of her own with Maura.

With that decided she got out of the shower and texted Maura.

I'm heading into BPD and I really need to see you. It's kind of an emergency.

She knew that wasn't playing fair but time was of the importance since learning about what Julie had told her. They needed the protective shield Emily had around Ian lifted and the only one who could make that possible was Maura.

On the drive in she couldn't get her mind off how much Emily loved Maura and JJ. Then she remembered Emily's words she had said to her the day she was in shock after seeing the naked yoga. "I know all these emotions you are feeling, but hear me, what you were witness to was a divine act of love and you have every right to feel over whelmed and not to know what to do with it all. I also want you to know the healing love these women showed me, we would show you too if the circumstances present themselves, which I pray to God never do." Then she remembered what Emily had told the gunman in the warehouse, "Jane is that good because she has family that loves her and no one messes with her because her family has her back."

"They really think of me as family." She said out loud. "But why? I haven't been their number one fan." She thought about it and realized she believed that Emily or JJ would have done what they did for Emily for her. She shook her head, "They are turning me into an alien, " she said and laughed even though the thought warmed her heart that they loved her that much that they would do it. Then she realized they were more than friends they were family too but it was different but she would have to think about that later she thought as she pulled up at the station.

She walked into BPD and made it up to her office and saw Maura sitting at her desk. "Hey... I thought you would be in court."

"Well I was suppose to be but the case was settled during lunch and no one bothered to inform us until we sat there for over an hour that it had." She said standing up.

"Why are you up here and not in your office?"

"You texted me so we came back here and I started to my office but there are people sweeping it for insects..." She said waving her hands in the air, "...so I couldn't go and change into something else. I need to get my new Von Furstenberg to the cleaners before the coffee stain, that the big oomph at the court house, split on me sets in."

"Ouch... Maura is very frustrated better be careful." She thought to herself.

"Why did you need to see me Jane? What is the emergency?" Maura asked lifting her head up from the stain on her dress and point blank starred at her.

Jane started to say, "...let's find a quieter place" but a man in a black suit came in. "Dr. Isles your office is clear of any bugs you may return to it."

"Thank you." She said and started at a trot to the elevator leaving Jane in her dust until she reached the elevator and turned and looked at the woman, "Aren't you coming?"

Jane smiled and ran to catch up as the doors opened. They rode down as Maura was still wiping the dried stain. The doors opened and they saw Raphy talking with the three guards that were assigned to Maura. One of them moved to the side quickly and had an apologetic look on his face. Jane speculated he was the big oomph that had spilt his coffee on her best friend.

"Ladies..." Raphy said and smiled as Maura entered her office and was going to follow until Jane caught him at the door.

"Look I'll be in here with her. You and the goon trio go and watch the exits." He looked at her a moment until she leaned into the man's ear, "I need to talk to her so she can get through to Emily if you know what I mean."

Raphy looked at Jane and nodded. "Come on guys...exit duty." He said pointing which one was to watch which exit.

Jane blew out a breath and shut the door and locked it. Maura had returned from the lab with a damp cloth and some scrubs. "I can't believe Emily would imprison me like this. I am not the president that needs four body guards." She was ranting to herself as she locked the lab door and started taking her dress off. She raised up and started to pitch the dress on the chair when she noticed Jane starring at her.

"Jane?"

She walked towards her taking the dress without breaking eye contact with the woman and pitched the dress behind her not caring if it landed on the chair or not.

"Jane... that's going..." She bent but stopped when she felt the warm breath on her neck, "Leave it."

Maura stood up and looked into Jane's eyes and saw unshed tears. "What's going on?" She said as she raised her hand to cup Jane's cheek thinking the woman was hurting. Jane took the hand and held it as she started kissing Maura's neck and moving in closer to her causing the woman to back up against the door.

"Jane..." was whispered on a pant of breath. The woman just continued her path around to Maura's lips where they joined in a kiss where Jane's request of entrance was granted and the kiss deepened until breath was needed. Maura wasn't for sure what was going on and afraid if she moved she would wake up from the dream like she had so many times the years before. But she knew that she had to make sure Jane knew what she was getting into. "What are you doing?" Was asked in a soft voice.

"Taking care of you." Was whispered back in her ear as she shuddered. "I want to take care of you Maur...but you might have to help me out some. It's kind of new to me." She said pulling back and smiling. Maura came forward in a searing kiss and Jane moved her hands up and down over the soft skin of the woman's back. She was trying to remember what Maura had done from that point needing a road map to help her give pleasure to the woman in her arms.

"Just follow your heart Jane and the rest will manifest as you do." Maura whispered in her ear.

That seemed to free Jane as she reached for the clasp of Maura's bra. She had to see... for some reason she had to see if Maura was as beautiful as the Three Graces had been. When the fabric fell between them she closed her eyes being afraid to look. She felt Maura's hand on her cheek and opened her eyes into darkened emerald eyes. Gaining strength in those eyes she slid her left hand around and cupped a breast. She heard an intake of breath as she rubbed the soft skin and her knees became weak.

She looked down, "God you are. Your are more beautiful than those Graces." Maura smiled at the complement.

Jane leant in and kissed her again as she slid her hand down to the warmth of arousal that her efforts had began. She knew in her head what she needed to do but froze a moment until the flash of what JJ did to Emily crossed her mind. Once she started the rhythm it all fell into place and she actually became part of it with the sounds of pleasure and want coming from the woman that meant the world to her. By the time Maura released they both had become so over whelmed with emotions they found themselves crying and laughing at the same time.

"God... that was... God." Jane said when she gained control of her voice.

"Yes it was..." Maura said stepping back up to Jane, "Do you need me..."

"No..." She interrupted the woman, "I'm good I had to take care of myself before I got here."

Maura looked at the woman puzzled as she went to her dress and picked it up with her bra off the floor. "Why would you have to do that and what was that all about?" She asked as she pointed to the door where it had just happened now curious as to why it happened.

"We need to talk."

"Well that is a given." She said now starting to become slightly irritated.

"No...no...Maura... come sit by me." She said to the woman who was putting her scrubs on.

She came and sat on the couch and looked at her best friend. "I'm listening."

Jane started rubbing her hands and looked down at the floor, "Don't be angry Maura..."

"Oh... it's never a good thing when you start out that way." She said bracing herself for Jane's words.

"Just hear me out." She said and Maura shook her head like go ahead. "JJ and I got to the Ambassador's house an hour after you left for court. Emily wanted to discuss security but when we got there we saw Pen coming from her office with her hands over her ears because of the drums..."

"Drums?"

"Yeah... seems when Emily wants to kill some one she plays some cd of drums." Maura looked at her like she was making it up. "No Maur really... look to make a long story shorter... her mother came up to us and said the last time she played that cd was when she had pulled Emily away from you but she got a pass from being killed because she was her mother. Then she asked JJ to talk with her before she lost half of the staff again."

"So you are telling me that Emily wants to kill someone?"

Jane looked at the woman and understood Emily's dilemma. She was having second thoughts about telling her too but it was to important. She took Maura's hand, "She wants to kill Maur but she won't because she is between a rock and hard place."

"Tell me what's going on Jane. I'm not following you and I'm getting frustrated with all of this."

Jane took in a deep breath, "Look JJ went in to talk with Emily and I followed her later just in case she needed help."

"Jane... you have to stop doing that. Emily is a private person..."

"I get that Maur but she didn't know that I was there. Hell she didn't even know that JJ was there even when she wrapped herself around Emily's waist in her bra and panties."

"What?"

"Let me back up. I went in and saw Emily stripped down to her bra and panties hitting a punching bag as hard as she could and screaming. The drums were so loud we couldn't hear the screams from outside and she didn't hear JJ calling to hear either. Finally JJ just wrapped herself around Emily's waist but even then it was like she didn't know anyone was there."

"What has her so angry?" She asked realizing Jennifer was trying to get in Emily's train of thought.

"Pen said Julie came by and told her something."

"Julie?" Maura asked puzzled as to who that was.

"The slut..."

"Oh..."

"Yeah... whatever it was had Emily hitting the bag to the point of splitting her knuckles open and she broke a bamboo stick in half." Maura looked at Jane in horror. "JJ finally got to her and she talked to her and told her who Hades was and why she wanted to kill him and why she couldn't." She paused again feeling all the emotions of the rage she had seen in Emily.

"Tell me Jane."

"I will but..." She paused taking Maura's hands again, "Do you remember what Jaclyn told you before Emily came to the hospital room?"

"She said I needed to prepare myself to see how much Emily loves me."

"Yeah... well you need to take a breath and remember because Hades is Ian Faulkner."

I'm going to split this up since I haven't posted in a few days. I myself had to reread the story making sure I didn't leave lose ends. With that said... thank you for traveling with me on this journey. Thank you for forgiving editing errors and misspellings. I have grown through this and I hope you all have enjoyed the story.

oh...and yes later I will be going back and fixing said errors that made me cringe when I came upon them. :P
