Unfortunately I don't own either show, I'm simply passionate about the characters. I worship the ground on which Shonda Rhimes and Tess Gerritsen walk upon.

Callie considered herself to be a very lucky woman. She didn't always feel like this, however, stepping out of the bath tub to be met with pizza and a fresh glass of mango juice definitely assisted in developing the mindset.

Meredith had gathered the pizza's from the delivery guy, plated them both a few slices and had proceeded to pour them both a drink.

When Callie came down stairs, moments after the pizza had been delivered, she was met by her smiling fiancee who had placed a kiss on her lips before handing her a plate.

They had consumed their pizza in the lounge room, sat like book ends, Callie happy with the thought that this was how she was going to spend the rest of her life.

Sometime after Meredith had finished eating she had placed the plate down on the coffee table and instantly reached for one of the feet Callie had tucked beside her.

On feeling her foot being pulled away from her body and towards the other end of the couch, Callie turned her body, giving Meredith better access.

"You're spoiling me." Callie told Meredith as she put her plate down next to Meredith's, tilted her head back and enjoyed the special treatment she was receiving.

"I'm enjoying you." Meredith simply responded.

Callie couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her fiancee's choice of words.

"What I mean…" Meredith began as a light blush spread over her cheeks, "…is that our schedules will pick up soon and between the wedding, the baby and work, we might not get to spend quiet evenings on the couch together."

Callie's face spread into a huge grin. It was rare for anyone to really see this side of Meredith, the sweet, loving person she was in a relationship. To respond to what Meredith had just confessed, Callie pulled her foot away and shifted to remove the space between them. Her mouth seeking out Meredith's. They kissed, gently as Callie cuddled in close to Meredith, her head coming to rest on her shoulder.

Meredith's hand soon took hers and Callie was certain that nothing could be better than cuddling with her fiancee right now.

"I could stay like this with you all night." Callie confessed.

"If thats the case, we better call your parents first." Meredith and responded and Callie felt her lips press against her temple, "Then we can snuggle to a movie."

"That sounds wonderful." Callie quickly replied turning her head to meet Meredith's lips once more.

A contented sigh fell from both of their lips and Callie felt her body warm to Meredith's touch.

"Mmmm…." Meredith sounded as she pulled away from Callie a moment. "First we call your folks." As she ducked back and quickly pecked Callie's lips. Callie knew that if Meredith hadn't pulled away, she wouldn't have had the strength too.

Callie couldn't help but let out a groan, knowing that this wouldn't go to plan.

…..Heavy Heart….Heavy Heart…. Heavy Heart…. Heavy Heart… Heavy Heart…..

Angela had left. It had been obvious to Maura that her mother in law had wanted to take Jane with her. However, the woman had learnt over the years that it wasn't her place to interfere, so Angela left alone.

Now, as Maura sat quietly at the dinner table, she was unsure of what they were supposed to do. She and made it home in time to stop Jane from leaving, had held her as both of them cried, but now she didn't know what came next.

Jane had migrated downstairs to the couch not long after her mother had left. Without saying a word, she and curled up into a ball, pulling a quilt around her before proceeding to put the Red Sox vs Yankees game on the screen.

Maura utilised this time to focus on Jane and the way she had hid under the cover of the quilt and Maura couldn't pin point when her wife had developed such a habit. Sure, Jane would grab something to cover her legs or wrap around herself on cool days, at times they even snuggled together. However, she had never completely burrowed under the covers like she did now, using them like a shield to keep her safe.

Maura could only assume that she had done this to her wife. That after everything they had been through things had obviously become too much.

Her wife had been a hard woman, devoted cop and tough homicide detective. She had also had a sensitive side. She had fallen in love with that woman. The woman in front of her had seemingly been reduced to a shadow of herself. A person who wanted to bury themselves and hide from her wife.

"Great job, Isles." Maura thought to herself and looked away from her wife and instead looked down at the cup of peppermint tea that she had been drinking. She had absolutely no idea how to fix their current situation. All Maura knew was that the last 6 months had not been easy. Her mob boss father had a hand in that.

Maura knew that she couldn't completely blame her father. But he did factor into what had gone wrong. She knew that neither Jane nor herself had handled the situation correctly. They seemed to have attempted to dump everything to the side until it had built up, toppled and caused a land slide.

Maura did not want her wife and their marriage to be the casualties of it all. She could not imagine a world without Jane in it.

Shaking her head to attempt to remove the possibility of a life without Jane, Maura pushed her cup away and proceeded to stand. She pottered over to the sink and rinsed her cup before moving towards Jane. On reaching the couch, Maura moved around the chair to stop in front of her wife. She had been grateful for the Ad break as she decided to push back the quilt covering her wife's head.

On exposing Jane's delicate face, tear stains still present, Maura leant forward and captured her lips. It took a few moments before Jane responded to the kiss, but the response was enough to cause her to let out a sigh. "I love you." She murmured to Jane before pulling back and covering her wife's head with the quilt again.

Maura then took a step back from her wife and moved down to the other end of the couch, picking up her iPad from the coffee table as she went. She knew that she needed to fix them. She just wasn't sure how.
