Characters aren't mine, they belong to Janet Tomaro, Warner Brothers, Tess Garritsen, TNT, and other important people associated with the show.

So, I completely forgot I used the name Amanda in my first chapter. Sorry, but I'm going to change Maura's current girlfriends name Amanda to Emily. Again, sorry for the name change.

I'm so incredibly sorry this chapter took so long to be posted. Thank you all for your reviews and for even reading this. Get ready for something unexpected. ;)

Janes POV

This drive seemed to continue forever. I just want to get home and stay there. I don't want to see anyone and I don't want to go anywhere. I want to crawl into bed and go to Sleep. The bed Maura was in a few days ago. The bed that me and Maura first kissed. The bed that Maura cuddled next to me in. This woman just won't get out of my fucking head. Maybe I should go to the Dirty Robber. No, too many memories of her there too. People too. No. I'm just going to go home. I should probably walk Jo and clear my head. And luckily I'm almost home now. But why? Why is she with the other woman if she wanted to be with me? She said that its been obvious that we've been a couple. And then she's with...Emily. She's probably prettier and smarter and everything I'm not. Urg! I will never be good enough for Maura Isles. I'm just a Detective that lives in a little apartment with a job that could barely afford to take her all the places she wants to 's probably everything that she's ever wanted. She's can probably afford to take Maura wherever she wants to go and make her smile. Oh god, that smile of hers...it's so warm and it makes me forget everything I'm thinking. Then there's the way she convinces me to do anything she asks. Also the way I hold her when we sleep and our bodies fit together like perfect puzzle pieces. No, no, no! I am mad at her. But even when I'm mad at her I'm not. How can you be mad at that woman? I mean, she's perfect. Well, no body is perfect...not until you fall in love with them. Then everything they do you fall in love with them. You still love them on their worst days and when they're cranky and when they're yelling because they can't find what they're looking for. You still love them. And I still love her. I love her in the morning when she's half asleep and she smiles at me. I love her when she's in her M.E coat, concentrating on paperwork. I love her when she's in her pajamas, cuddling next to me on the couch. I love her. I. Love. Her. I sat there and went over those words again. After a few minutes I finally opened my car door and walked up to my apartment. When I opened the door I was greeted by Jo who started to jump up and down while wagging his tail side to side.

"Alright, alright, boy." I kneeled down and started to pet him. "Wanna go for a walk?" He barked at me.

"Okay. Come her."

I put on his leash and opened the door then began to walk through the hall way to the elevator and pushed the down button. I checked my phone just to be sure no one texted me. Who am I kidding? I'm hoping Maura texted me. "You have 0 new messages." I closed out of that and put my phone back on my side. I let out a sigh of frustration. Didn't she say she was going to break up with Emily tonight? What if that's what she's doing now? Or what if they're doing what they were doing last weekend again? What if she's touching Maura and kissing her and getting Maura to smile at her and laugh from something she said? I felt a tear roll down my check and then wiped it away as soon as it did. I'm not going to think about that now. The elevator door opened and we walked into it. Luckily nobody was it. I pushed the elevator button down and stood in silence.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

We came back in 20 minutes later. Jo tackled his water bowl and I went to go take a shower. Maura's back was up against the wall and she kissed me passionately. Her hands were on my face and my hands were on her hips. The hot water from the shower was hitting both of our sides. I pressed my body against hers and she broke away from the kiss and smiled. Then she bit her lip and started to kiss me again. That was the day I started to not hate mornings any more. She made my mornings better. Shit. Just being with her made my mornings better. Ha. She'd say "watch your language, Jane" if she was here. I miss her voice. I stayed in the shower for a good twenty minutes and then put a old t-shirt on and some sweat pants. I made sure Jo had more water before I went into the living room and turned on the tv. "Nothing. Nothing. Oh, more nothing. Just great." I turned the tv off and threw the remote towards the end on the couch. It landed on the floor. It feels so empty. I'm just going to go to bed. I don't care if its early or without Maura's body next to mine. I do sleep better when she's here, but I guess I'll just have to go to bed alone tonight. I walked to the bedroom and crawled into the bed pulling the covers up to my hips then drifting off to sleep.

Maura's POV

Was Jane irate or lugubrious? Maybe she was both. I didn't mean to hurt her or make her upset. I love her and that's the last thing I want to do. I knew I should've ended things with Emily. She's lovely and quite brilliant, but I'm in love with Jane. I would have ended things sooner, but there hasn't been much time. I didn't think Jane would see any messages from her. I was very distant from Emily last week. Well, towards the end of it. This all turned out completely erroneous. I just want to break up with Emily and fix things with Jane. Emily does make me happy, but not in the way Jane does. Jane and I have a connection that is completely unexplainable. When I'm around her I feel safe and loved. I've never felt our love we have for each other with anyone else. Even before we were officially a couple. Our love has always been unique. Now that we are a couple, well hopefully we are still a couple. It's wonderful when she shows her love and when I feel it too. She wrapped her arms around me the morning after we confessed our love to each other. I never wanted that moment to end. I felt incredibly close to her. I felt both of out hearts beating fast from both of us being close to each other. I felt her lips on my neck. They were soft and dry. The second her lips left my skin I regretted telling her to stop. I wish they would've stayed longer, but if they did we would have never got to work on time. There's just more between Jane and I then there ever will be with Emily and me. I love and care for Emily, very much, but as a friend. What am I going to tell her. I feel as if when I go to tell her the words won't come out and I'll be struggling just to breathe. I'm almost to her house. Deep breaths. It'll be okay. Hopefully she'll understand. Only a few houses away. I feel that it is hard to breath. I slowed down to give me more time. It will be okay. Jane would tell me it would be okay. I pulled into her gravel driveway. I saw the green house slightly lighted and the front door light was on. I followed the stepping stones up to her door and used my key to enter.

"Close your eyes."

"Okay."

"No peeking!" A hint of laughter in her voice.

I closed the gaps between my fingers, "alright, I won't!"

"Okay, open them!"

I saw a small red box with a small white bow on the top of it.

"Here. Open it."

I took the box out of her hands carefully and slowly opened the box. When I did I saw a silver key.

"You're giving me a key?" I'm completely surprised, we've only been dating for 7 months.

"Yes. It's a key to my house. You can come over anytime. I thought since you've been over a lot lately you might want a key."

"Yes! It's wonderful, babe!"

I put the key back into the red box and set it on the coffee table. Then I grabbed the back on her neck and kisses her languidly. I pulled away after a few moments.

"Thank you. I love it."

Oh, this isn't going to be easy. I turned the key and opened the door.

"Hey, baby!" Emily excitedly greeted me.

"Hello, beautiful." I'll say beautiful. It would be wrong to call her 'babe' when I'm ending things with her. Wouldn't it be? Yes it would.
The house was decorated with candlelights and the aroma of apple cinnamon was in the air. She hugged me tighter than usual, she still unaware of what I'm going to do. Something seemed different tonight. Usually there are no candles on every table and counter. Usually there's no smell of apple cinnamon in the air. Usually she's not this dressed up around the house. She looks stunning in that short red dress with black Louie Vuitton high heels on. Her hair is long and black with brown highlights. It looks as if it's been professionally done, it looks very silky. Her nails are painted black. And her makeup, her makeup looks professionally done as well. I've never seen her as dressed up as she is currently. She looks gorgeous.

"You look stunning."

"Thank you." She smiled.
"Would you like anything to drink, babe?"

"Perhaps a glass of wine."

"Any one in particular?"

"Surprise me."

"Okay. Just go into the living room and I'll be in shortly."

"Alright."

I walked into the living room and saw everything was moved and that there were rose petals in a the shape of a big heart on the floor. Before I could process what was happening she came walking in with two wine glasses. She walked past me and simply put the two wine glasses on the table moved to the right side of the living room. After she did that she grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the sofa then sat me down.

"Emily, wh-what are you doing?"

"Maura, I've never met someone as intelligent, sweet, kind, and caring as you. You make me happy. You make me see the world in a different perspective. You make me a better person. Before I met you I disliked Mondays and since I have I enjoy Mondays now. I love your company. I love your random facts. I love your voice. I love you. I'm in love with you. I fall for you more everyday. I know we've only been dating for a little over a year, but this has been the best year of my life and I want to continue to have more good years with you. You are the best thing that's ever happened to me and I want you in my life. Maura Dorthea Isles, will you marry me?"

I'm panicking now.

What do you think? What will Maura say? What relationship will burn in flames? Please review, loves. :)
