* I own nothing of Rizzoli and Isles I just have the privilege of playing with the characters for a while.

Jane woke up the third morning in a row with Maura watching her sleep. She smiled and turned into the woman that had her arm laying on her stomach, "Good morning." She managed to say through a raspy voice.

"Good morning." Was almost smiled out instead of voiced.

"Are you ready for today?"

"Jane... that is the tenth time you have asked me that in less than twenty-four hours. I told you, I do not care what people say about me but with you asking me so many times I am beginning to wonder if you are okay with everything?"

"How could I be anything but wonderful after getting to hold the most beautiful woman in the world for three nights in a row not to mention other things." She said as she started to nibble up Maura's neck.

"I believe...Oh...that there isn't...Oh my...timeeee...

Jane noticed the excuse had ended when she caught Maura's earlobe with her lips and sucked. She then pulled back and looked at the woman, "What were you saying?" She asked with a cheeky grin like she didn't her what was said.

"Now you want to listen..." Maura said in a mock huff then she caught the woman's lips in a searing kiss that led to both of them being an hour late for work.

Jane walked into BPD with a smile on her face because today was the first time ever in her life she could remember feeling free and happy about who she was and who she loved. She was walking to the elevator when she heard to officers to her right in the distance saying, "Here comes the dyke in the building." She turned and looked at who they were talking about and cringed as she saw Maura coming through the front doors. She turned and started to bless the men out but they had already walked off. She waited for Maura at the elevator deciding to ride down to the morgue with the woman hoping that her presence with her would stave off any direct attacks.

"Going my way stranger?" Maura asked smiling at Jane.

"I would be honored." She said smiling back and offering for Maura to step in the elevator first in front of her.

"Thank you." Maura said as the doors closed and she took Jane's hand causing a blush and smile to form on the brunette's face.

"Maur... I am so sorry about Friday in the office." She started again until her hand was dropped and a finger came up to her lips quieting her. She kissed the finger and wanted to lean over and kiss the soft pouty lips looking at her but the elevator dinged signaling the doors were going to open on them. They backed away from each other until they did open. Jane followed Maura to her office and closed the door behind them. Maura smiled thinking Jane was trying to get frisky at work but lost the smile when she turned and saw Jane's concerned face instead of a rascally one. "What is it Jane?"

"I heard two officers calling you a dyke. I turned back to correct them but they had already left." She said rubbing her hands.

"That's why you apologized again in the elevator." She said more than asked.

"Yes."

"Honey... I'm okay with small minded peoples' opinions as long as they aren't yours." She said coming and standing in front of her.

"You know they aren't mine. But maybe we should..."

"Jane..." Maura said interrupting her, "We agreed that you could take as much time as you needed to tell people. It's a big step." She said cupping the woman's face in her hand.

"Yeah...but it's a step I didn't give you a choice in telling though." She said leaning her head down onto Maura's forehead in shame.

"I look at it this way...at least now there is another reason I can stop Dr. Pike's advances during the next training seminar." She said laughing.

"Like you needed another reason. Eeewww!" Jane said smiling her award-winning smile and shaking off the thought of the man touching her woman.

"Now go to work detective so we can get this day done and go home." She said butterfly kissing her a few times.

"You keep that up and home might have to come here to your couch." Jane said through a kiss/grin.

"Jane..."

"Okay..." She said as she pulled away and smiled at Maura. "I'll see you at noon for lunch."

"I'll be at your desk at 11:59 am promise." Maura said as Jane left for the elevators.

When she walked in the office everyone looked at her, "What?"

"Nothing..." Frost said looking at his computer.

She looked at Korsak, "You need something?"

"No... we were just wondering where you were… is all?"

"I got out of bed late." She answered and thought to herself, "...and that's the truth" as she had to stop the smile that wanted to pop on her face as to the reason she was in bed. "You two have a problem with that?" She gruffed out covering her smile.

"No Jane...it's just not like you to be late is all." The older man said back peddling from the grumpy woman.

"Jane..." Frost decided to just bite the bullet and ask. She looked at him like "what?"

"I guess by your mood this morning that you and Dr. Isles haven't made up, have you?" He asked and was preparing for a world war to start.

"Yes, we have talked and come to an understanding that I was an ass." She said hoping that would help defuse some of the gossip about Maura.

"Good we are glad." Korsak said with a smile and went and sat at his desk not wanting to ask anymore because he knew it could back fire on them.

Jane sat down and logged into her computer then into her e-mail. She opened one marked urgent and it was a photo shopped picture of Maura and Keely kissing in bridal gowns. She placed her gun in the drawer and slammed it shut as she saw that the e-mail had gone out to the whole BPD. She took her phone out and texted Maura trying to warn her before she opened it but she was to late so she got up and went to the bathroom and called her.

"It's okay Jane...it really is a good photo shop job."

"I don't think so." Jane said in a jealous voice.

"It's okay."

"Can we just go back to you house and call in today?" She whined into the phone.

Maura laughed, "We can talk about it over lunch if you want."

"Okay... But I don't like it."

"Jane..."

"Yeah?"

"Don't be jealous...I would never be caught dead in that bridal gown just for the record."

"I love you." She said laughing knowing Maura was trying to make her feel better.

"I love you too...bye."

Jane put her phone back on her belt and smiled because she heard the giddy laughter in Maura's voice teasing her even though people were raking her over the coals. She made it back to her desk and deleted the photo with an evil smile. "I should have been the one in that damn photo not Hot Lips," she thought. Then a light bulb went off in her head and a plan was born as she started sending e-mails to everyone she could remember that was in the office the day when she blurted out about the kiss.

She sat and watched the office start to fill with people because of her e-mail that was sent. She smiled when the doors to the elevator opened at 11:59 am and high heels started clicking down the hall towards her desk. She stood up and faced Maura and motioned her to come and stand beside her. She leaned over the desk towards Frost, "Get your phone ready for a picture." She said in a low voice. He looked at her puzzled but wasn't about to question her.

"Folks can I have your attention." She yelled making sure everyone in the office was watching her. "Now there was an e-mail sent around this office this morning..." She started and was interrupted by Maura who looked at her shocked, "Jane..."

The brunette looked at her and smiled conveying "trust me" through it. "That picture is not an accurate picture. Maura and Keely are not a couple so I've asked Frost to correct the mistake." She said as she pulled Maura into her then dipping and kissing her solidly. Maura was so shocked at first but then she just wrapped her arms around Jane's neck and kissed her fully back. Jane then lifted her back up and looked around the room, "Anyone with issues or problems with who Dr. Isles is a couple with can come and talk to me personally. Questions?"

No questions were asked but a few whistles and "it's about damn time" were heard. Frost and Korsak came over and surrounded the couple with congratulations.

"Did you get the picture Frost?" Jane asked smiling.

"I got a few."

"Jane...what are you doing?" Maura asked as her head was still spinning from being dipped and kissed hard just a few moments before.

"I saw that photo and it should have been me in it not Dr. Bonner. So, I listened to my heart and did something about it instead of doing nothing which is what my head was saying to do. It was saying "if I did nothing it would all blow over." She paused and pulled Maura to her in a hug looking into her eyes, "nothing" is not an option for me anymore." She said then kissed her new girlfriend again before they went to lunch as planned.

Okay... I listened and hope you enjoyed this final chapter.
