Six hours later Jane was out of Surgery. Her brain had swelled and surgeons had successfully released the pressure in her brain. The only thing left to do was wait for Jane to wake up. Frost, Korsack, and Frankie had visited, but they could not stand to be in the room with Angela. Not wanting to have that negative energy in the room they spoke to Jane and left the room. Once alone in the room Angela began crying and had to step out. As stepped out she walked straight into the Ambassador.
"This is a private area, are you lost" Angela said
"I am well aware of the hospitals privacy rules" the Ambassador stated back coldly. Emily had called her and told her what happened to Jane. Neither Maura nor Emily asked for her "support" often so when Maura asked her to check in on Jane she did not hesitate. The Ambassador was on the hospital's board and her family was a 51% supporter of all the Surgeon's research projects. While this was a private room no one was going to remove her.
"Can I help you" Angela stated, she did not like this woman one bit
"I am here to check on Jane"
"Who are you to my Jane?"
"No one, but my goddaughter is Maura"
Upon hearing Maura's name, Angela visibly cringed. Just then Jane's doctor came into the room.
"Ambassador Prentiss, how are you. I wasn't aware you had an invested interested in Jane"
"She doesn't" Angela said
"I most certainly do, please continue with your update Doctor."
"Um well, M'am"
"I said continue"
"Jane's vitals are great actually."
"You sound surprised" Angela said
"Well, for her injury it's very surprising. All her scans are clear and she should be…"
"Why is she still asleep then" Angela asked
"That's just the thing, we do not know."
"What do you mean you don't know" Angela asked
"She should have woken up by now. We will continue to monitor her condition, but it's up to Jane at the moment."
"Thank you Doctor" the Ambassador said and began to walk away
"Where are you going?"
"I am going to see Maura"
"Maura is here as well?" the doctor said
"What is going on here" asked Angela she felt like she was in the twilight zone
"Oh Doctor Isles is great. She and Ambassador Prentiss are the only reason I am here. They funded the procedure we used on Jane this evening actually. I am sorry Mrs. Rizzoli I have to get going, Dr. Stevens will continue Jane's care overnight. Good to see you Ambassador."
The Ambassador saw the look on Angela's face and smiled internally.
"So you think just because you own the doctor you can just barge into my daughters room?"
"I didn't barge anywhere, you walked into me remember"
"If Maura owned the Doctor too why isn't she here"
'Oh I thought I was something, but you are beyond words"
"You don't know me."
"You are right I don't know you. What I do know, is what my goddaughter told me and that's enough."
"Don't you judge me; you have no idea what's its like."
"You are correct, I do not have a daughter in the hospital…at the moment but I do have a lesbian daughter as well and a very beautiful daughter in law."
"Oh"
"Yes, Oh"
"I am not a homophobic"
'You do know the definition of that word right?"
"I just…just…saw her and was not ready. I was not ready to give up the wedding, the grandkids, what am I going to do. I am old and divorced and now she is in there and I can't help her." Angela began crying. She loved Maura but she thought that her relationship with her daughter would end her dreams for her daughter. The Ambassador understood completely.
"You did hear the part about the beautiful daughter in law right; now let me show you my beautiful grandchildren." The Ambassador pulled out her wallet and showed her a picture of Emily and Jennifer's twin boys.
"You mean"
"That a lesbian daughter is not the end of the world, yes."
At the Chief's private office Maura was pacing back and forth waiting for the Ambassador to come back. She had gotten an update from the Chief but wanted to hear from her. Just then the door opened.
"Auntie Maura" the boys yelled and jumped into her arms
Maura smiled lovingly at the boys and mouthed a Thank You to Emily and Jennifer. She needed the support and loved that her friend knew her enough to know she couldn't ask for it.
"How are you honey" Jennifer asked. Maura and Jennifer got off to a bad start when Jennifer thought her and Emily were too close for comfort. After a long weekend stuck in a cabin after a snow storm Maura and Jennifer bonded and Jennifer got over herself. Since then they were just as close.
"I am ok, I am waiting for the Ambassador"
"Our ok or Mom's Ok" the boys said in unison and Emily laughed, she knew it was a joke at her
"Mom's ok, at the moment, but you being here helps."
Jennifer got some books out for the boys and pulled Maura to the side.
"I just want to talk to her" Maura said
'I know honey" Emily said lovingly
"Maybe you still can" Jennifer said
"I can't go down there Jennifer. As much as I don't want to, I have to respect Angela's wishes"
"Who said anything about going down there?"
"You didn't Mommy" the boys said in unison.
"That's right my little nosy boys" Jennifer smiled
"Emily, this hospital has intercoms' in every room right"
"Yes…AHHH yes"
Emily picked up her cell phone and dialed Penelope.
"Technical Goddess at your service"
"Pen, you are on speaker we are at…"
"Mass General, 11th floor, in the Chief's office…swanky"
"Now that's just creepy" Jennifer said, Maura smiled a little
"It's not creepy is it boys"
"No Auntie Pen, it's called being prepared Mommy"
"ANNNNDDD"
"Super Awesome" the boys yelled enthusiastically
"Pen can you isolate an intercom in one room" Emily asked, Maura perked up
"Sure thing Princess, let me guess room 125"
"Yes" Maura literally yelled
"Oh honey bear, no problem"
In Jane's room, the Ambassador watched as Angela spoke to her daughter. Angela had invited her in and she knew it was more for Maura then herself. As Angela was apologizing Maura's voice came through the intercom.
"Jane, love" Maura said. "The Chief tells me that your brain is ok. He said they used a procedure I funded, isn't that great. He says that it's up to you now baby. Please come back to be Jane…I …need you."
Angela is crying even harder. The sincerity in Maura's words and tone broke her heart. She could not believe how she treated her.
"I love you Jane"
As Maura's voice fades out, a song fades in….
How do I get through one night without you
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be
Oh and I, I need you in my arms
Need you to hold
You're my world, my heart, my soul
If you ever leave
Baby, you would take away everything good in my life
Without you there'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There'd be no world left for me
And I, baby I don't know what I would do
I'd be lost if I lost you
If you ever leave
Baby, you would take away everything real in my life
And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I, how do I
Oh, how do I live
If you ever leave
Baby, you would take away everything
Need you with me
Baby, 'cause you know that you're everything good in my life
And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I, how do I
Oh, how do I live
How do I live
Without you baby
As soon as the song was over, Jane jerked out of bed and tried to yell out Maura's name but no sound came out. She saw her mother crying and remembered the morning but nothing else. Seeing that Maura was not in the room raised Jane's vitals which caused her monitors to go crazy. Maura heard this and stormed out of the room towards Jane.
Angela ran out of the room and started calling out
"Maura…she needs Maura"
Doctor's came in and sedated Jane before she could see Maura.
"Nooooo, she needs Maura"
"M'am, your daughter needs calmness"
Just then Maura arrives and Angela grabs her.
"Oh Maura I am sooo so sorry, I didn't mean it. I was just scarred and selfish, I am so sorry"
"Jane" Maura said
"She is sedated" the Ambassador said. Maura rushed into the room.
"Grandma" the boys screamed and ran to the Ambassador
Just then Angela looked up and saw what she almost lost. She had to make it up to her Janie and her Maura.
"Thank you Mother" Emily said
"Do not mention it dear, now how are my two boys"
"We are awesome"
"Boys, you know your Grandmother hates that word" Jennifer said
"Yes M'am. We are exceptionally well, how about yourself Grandmother" the boys said
"I am ok"
"Our ok or Mom's ok"
"Mom's Ok, Emily dear can we talk?"
Jennifer saw the look on her face and knew it had something to do with Jane. She asked the boys to come over to her.
"What's the matter?"
"When she woke up, she…she…she couldn't speak" The Ambassador was visible shaken
"I have to tell Maura"
"Give her a second dear."
