Ok so this is actually going to end up being a three shot I guess. Which is actually really weird for me but I started this with an idea of where it was going and this chapter led me in a completely different direction :) As usual I don't own anything!

I turn slowly hoping to get a look at Maura's face before I answer. She had to of heard me yell at least and before that our voices had been raising, it's the Rizzoli way. Loud and in charge. Her face is completely neutral though, not a spec of emotion anywhere and that confirms my suspicion. Before I can answer her question she turns back towards the kitchen.

"It's kind of late for another beer, did you want something else to drink."

"Water" I rasp out. My throat is closing up.

"Did something happen today?"

"A lot happened today Jane, could you be more specific?"

"Did something happen with Frankie"

She looks even more concerned now, if she heard me earlier she is playing this good. I cant help but take a deep breathe and growl out the next part.

"Did you and Frankie have a "moment" " I pull up my fingers to make the air quote gestures not holding back the distain in my actions.

"Yes, we did"

She says it so precisely, so disregarding that I actually think I hallucinated it. I cant hold back the hurt and its the third time I have looked like that at Maura today but it's the only time her life wasn't in danger.

"oh ok"

I can't believe I missed it. I cant believe I might have Maura in my life for the rest of my life, so close but never in the way I wanted her to be. I turn away as soon as I feel the tears fight there way up, knowing there is no wall there to stop them everything inside me was just stripped raw. I dash towards the bathroom door, hoping she'll give me this. I just need 5 minutes for my soul to die and then I can pick myself up, turn on the TV and pretend this is just another "girls night"

My hand is on the door handle when I feel her grab my other wrist, I don't expect the strength as she pulls me around and I stumble off balance my back falling against the door. As soon as she sees my face she is flushed up against me. Her hands cupping my cheeks.

"Jane! Oh my what's wrong!?"

I shake my head, words are escaping me and I know any attempt will be thwarted by the tears im trying to swallow.

"Jane, I know you couldn't be in there with us but I'm so happy they got everyone out of the building. I mean it will be hard to face everyone Monday morning, especially if I am carrying my coffee cup but it's not like you could take Frankie's place. If there was a bomb, it might have gone off!"

Is she serious right now? I swallow a couple of times, and rub my face on my sleeve before answering.

"Maur, you and Frankie nothing happened, right?"

"Jane you were there you know nothing happened, I don't understand. Everyone was safe the whole time"

I realize she has no idea what I'm actually talking about. I must sound like crazy person. My confidence gains as I realize Maura might not have feelings for Frankie.

"So you and Frankie never kissed?"

Now she looks like I slapped her in the face.

"Of course not. Why would you think that?"

"On the screen, it looked" I take another deep breathe inhaling her scent now that she is so close to me, her clean smell always calms me.

"It looked like you guys had a "moment" "

I use the same air quotes earlier and when I bring my hands down I place them on her hips. Her thumbs are swiping the tracks off my cheeks. Her eyes are search mine for more than a minute before she leans in bringing us completely together and whispers in my ear

"He's not the Rizzoli I want Jane"

She is already back in the kitchen pulling out her panda poop tea when the shock wears off. When I finally turn my head and look at her she has her back turned but she must hear me moving because she says

"Why don't you use the guest bathroom, you can change into something...more comfortable" and as the last two words leave her lips she turns towards me and smirks.
