*Okay as always I own nothing of Criminal Minds or Rizzoli & Isles just enjoying using the characters.

Maura looked at Jane with a puzzled look after her rant of, "I think I... well I didn't give but she gave... but she was a he at the time and it was all before we really became friends so I really didn't know..." She paused and took a deep breath and looked up at her friend, "... and I'm so sorry Maura. I had sex with your wife!"
"Jane... come and sit beside me..." She said in a calm tone, "...take a deep breath and use full sentences so I can understand what you are trying to tell me."
Jane looked at her and finished the beer in a final gulp. She then took in a deep breath and sat beside Maura like she was told to do but words still wouldn't come out. Maura reached out and took her hand and started rubbing circles on the back of it with her thumb. "Jane... nothing you can say will upset me. Now start from the beginning and go from there." She said prompting her friend that everything was going to be okay.
"Well you saw what happened on the plane when Emily thought I was Kia again." She paused and looked at the floor.
"Yes... I did and you did a wonderful job in being there for her." Maura said encouraging the woman to continue.
"Well... we both kind of fell back to sleep for about an hour until a dip in the plane woke me up and Morgan had to come and get a bag that fell from over head. He looked and sure enough Emily had my right boob firmly in her grasp." She said giving a big sigh, "JJ was sitting in the seat at our feet just in case we needed something and told him to go back up front. He asked why she was allowed to stay and she told him that she had seen it before.
He then grinned one of his grins and said that he had too. Then JJ reminded him that Emily promised him pain the one and only time he was witness to it. He looked at her and said she was just sassy. That's when Rossi patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's how Emily picks the women in her life."
I told him, "that I wasn't picked I came along with you."
He looked at me and asked, "Are you so sure about that?"
I looked at him like he was crazy then he started telling us a story that the Ambassador had told him most of and the rest he got out of Raphy with good scotch."
She looked at Maura and was trying to think of how to tell the story, "Do you remember the first movie night that we had here?"
The woman pondered a moment, "It was the night Martinez asked me to check on you when you were passed over for homicide."
"Yeah... but I think Emily was the one who sent that e-mail and not Martinez." Maura looked at her confused like "how would she know and why?"
"I went to the Black Shamrock alone when I found out that I wasn't getting the job. I wanted to drink where no one knew who I was or that I was a cop. I was drinking beer and doing tequila shots..."
"Oh dear..." Maura said knowing what Tequila did to Jane.
"Yeah... I wanted to get to the point of non thinking quickly. I was well on my way when I went to the bathroom after ordering another beer. When I got back this British guy sat beside me. Then after I had only one drink of my beer the idiot knocked it over. I thought he did it on purpose to talk to me but now I wonder if someone spiked it and Emily was knocking it away from me to protect me."
"Emily?"
"Yeah... I think the British dude was your wife that night."
"Jane... I'm not following this..."
"Hold on and I'll explain." She said to the flustered woman. When she saw that she had the woman's attention again she started, "The British guy apologized about being clumsy. He said it went with being left handed." Maura started to say something until Jane raised her hand to quite her. "Emily told me a few days ago that when she does a British cover she switches to her left hand... and Maura... she had that silver wedding band on her right hand like they do over there."
"She was wearing our wedding band are you sure?"
"Yes..." She took in another deep breath, "I got flirtatious with the guy because you know how Tequila effects me and he had that accent like Casey but he said he was married but separated. I let it go and we just talked and I told Bradley Monroe Winston the Third all about my problems of being over looked because of Chester Jacobson being in the boys club at BPD. I was so angry that he was getting the job I worked my butt off for and he just half did everything. I even told him about all the allegations of him taking bribes."
"Wait you said his name was Bradley Monroe Winston the Third?" Maura asked smiling.
"Yeah... I thought it was weird too but he was British... anyway I remember him giving me a ride home. He and his driver had to help me up stairs. Once they laid me on the bed the driver left and Bradley was taking my boots off and I sort of caught him by surprise with a kiss."
"I bet you did." Maura said smiling again now knowing for sure it was Emily who Jane had met.
"Whatever was in that beer he knocked over had me on fire and I needed..." She stopped and looked down at the floor.
"Jane... whatever happened was a long time ago and you were under the influence. I'm just surprised that Emily took advantage of the situation."
"No... no... she didn't Maura. It was me totally. I knew that he was married but separated but I couldn't stop. I pulled my shirt and bra off and asked him what kind of man he was if he wasn't interested in my breast."
"What did she say?" Maura asked now curious to what the out come was.
"He said that he wasn't a man but a woman..." She stopped in mid-sentence. "Oh my God... It was her!" Jane said as the statement that Emily made to her after Maura had given her a release in her kitchen rang out in her head.
"What is it Jane? What are you remembering?"
"I told him that I didn't care if he was a man, woman, or a vibrating washing machine." She looked up at Maura, "Emily was checking to see if I remembered and I didn't." She said and hung her head in shame.
Maura lifted the woman's chin up so she could see her eyes, "Let me remind you again you were under the influence."
"Maur... Emily, Bradley, he or she... who ever gave me a release." She paused again trying to remember it all, "She said who knew that my trigger was kissing and proceeded to do things to my breast that I still can't say what she did other than oh my god it felt good. Now I know why she barley touched me and I was on the ceiling moaning when she did then I passed out. But I do remember her telling me to love you because she couldn't before I was totally gone. When I woke up I had a head ache and a half you were banging on the door and my vibrator was in the bed beside me. I thought I had dreamed it all but getting drunk at the Black Shamrock."
"Well that is something..."
"I'm not finished... Rossi said that Emily went to her mother before going to the BAU. She asked one thing and if she didn't get it she was going to move back to Boston near you... of course the Ambassador had no clue that she couldn't even if she wanted too... but she told her about me and how I was over looked for a crooked cop. Her deal was get him moved and me promoted like I should have been in the first place and she would go live in Washington. She didn't even ask for help to get into the BAU. She just wanted us to work together. I guess she had Raphy e-mail you to come over and check on me."
"Well that would explain Martinez's puzzled look when I told him you were okay." Maura said as she reflected back on it.
"I'm surprised she hasn't told you about it now that you two are back together."
"Jane... life has been crazy for the last year and maybe she was giving you time to remember. She doesn't talk personal things a lot."
"But you are her soul mate."
"I am but I haven't talked about every sexual encounter that I've had with her either. But I can truthfully say that Bradley Monroe Winston the Third was Emily Prentiss." Jane looked at her like "talk."
"That was a name she used when we first started dancing together. She would smile and bow then say, "Bradley Monroe Winston the Third request your hand in a waltz." I would smile then curtsy and we would dance. I think maybe she wanted you to think it was a dream so it wouldn't freak you out so much. I also think she gave you that name so I would know that you had been handled with care if you did remember."
"Yeah... that sounds about right. But what am I going to do now?"
"Nothing or talk to her." Maura said in a "it's up to you" manor.
"Yeah... you are right... but I wonder how she knew we were starting to be friends? I wonder who was her special person watching you then?"
"I really do not know. She's always had someone there to keep me safe. I believe maybe you were one of her special people but didn't know it."
"I can see that." She said and smiled, "So you aren't mad?"
"Why should I be mad?" She asked and leaned over and caught the woman's lips in a soft kiss. "Now let's talk about us."
"I need another beer for that." Jane said and went and got a bottle.
"Jane... the only thing I want to talk about is what you want out of our relationship now. I have always said I am happy with whatever shape our friendship takes and whatever love you want to give."
"So you weren't planning on jumping my bones tonight Dr. Isles?" She asked smiling at the woman and batting her eyelashes.
"Is that what you need or expect?" Maura asked laughing at her friend's antics.
"No... If I'm honest... I really do not know what to do or expect?"
"Tell you what let's just lay on this couch and watch a movie like any other Friday night." Maura said patting the couch for Jane to return to it.
"Really?" She said as a weight lifted off her shoulders and she sat down.
"Yes... if anything else happens it happens. You helped me when you thought I needed it and I did the same for you. That's what Jennifer does for Emily and vice versa in their own way. We will figure out our way by it happening." Jane leaned over and kissed the woman, "Well I do admit I really like kissing you." She said capturing the lips before her but when she tried to deepen the kiss Maura pulled back, "You better watch that... Bradly Monroe Winston the Third says it's your trigger." She said laughing as said lips caught hers again. They fell asleep kissing and holding one another on the couch ignoring the movie on the screen like a lot of movie nights before this one.
Next chapter is rehearsal and shower which I will give slight glimpses into the wedding. The wedding will be one complete chapter because I do not want to stop the flow of it. :)
