I am sorry for the delay. I was in and out of the hospital, and then my computer broke, so I was doing everything via my cell. It's a little different then most my chapters. I tried to incorportate what 'the mob' as asked for. If you have any suggestions, PLEASE don't hesitate to tell me.
Without any further ado, ENJOY!

"Maur, come on let me have one please!" Jane wined as Maura blocked the fridge with her body.
"No, Jane. You can't have a beer. Not while you are still taking your medicine," Maura defended.
"Why not? It's not like I'm abusing my medicine, or the alcohol. I just want to have one with the game. Come on, the Red Sox are playing," Jane tried to reason.
"Jane, we both know that you aren't suppose to take alcohol with any form of medicine, especially prescription drugs. By taking your medicine, the acetaminophen in it attacks your liver. You are risking liver damage every time you take it. Alcohol is also a proven factor in liver damage. You do not need two downers in your system attacking your liver, Jane," Maura rattled leaning against the fridge. Jane just stared at her.
"Yeah, well right now my liver can screw it. I have a perfectly fine liver, so I think I deserve a beer," Jane whined leaning against the island about two feet away from Maura.
"No, Jane. You will be on your medicine for a few more days, and after that I promise we can go get a drink at the Dirty Robber.
"I'm not going to win this am I?" Jane asked as she looked back to her TV as the first pitch was thrown.
"No. You are not," Maura stated with a smile. Jane rolled her eyes and grabbed a warm coke and walked back into the living room. Maura grinned at her win, as she grabbed a clean glass and filled it with ice.
"Here," Maura said handing Jane the glass before sitting on the couch. Jane smiled and pour the Coke into the glass. Maura watch Jane as Jane watched the game. Jane shifted uneasily in her spot.
"Do I have something on my face?" Jane asked.
"No you have a beautifully high zygomatic structure," Maura admired.
"Thank you, you have a nice zygomatic structure too," Jane asked confused.
"Well thank you, but I meant you have very lovely bone structure. I never really noticed it before. You have beautiful cheekbones. They are high. You know, high cheekbones are rare, and they show beautiful symmetry. The Western civilization say it's a mark of beauty. They also signify youth," Maura rambled. The corner of Jane's lip curved as she watch Maura gesture with her hands as she touched her cheeks.
"Is this your way of flirting with me Dr. Isles?" Jane asked as she leaned back in the couch.
"Actually, yes," Maura smiled. Jane leaned forward and took Maura's hand in her own, she looked into her hazel eyes and smiled. She opened her mouth to say something, but Maura cut her off. "I've wanted to talk about what happened at the hospital, but today was our first day home, and you're watching the game," Maura started with her silky voice. Jane took her hand from Maura's and turned off the TV.
"Whatever you have to say is more important, than any silly baseball game. Besides, Boston's got this game," Jane smiled.
"I appreciate the gesture Jane, but you can watch your game. I don't mind," Maura said reaching for the remote. Jane grabbed her arm to stop her. She brought her hand to her lips and kissed it softly.
"I'd like to talk to you Maura," Jane smiled.
"This is so unlike you Jane, all compassionate," Maura giggled.
"Hey! I can be compassionate, and I happen to genuinely care about what we are talking about," Jane blushed slightly, but regained control quickly. Maura grinned.
"I'll start," Maura smiled.
"Let me," Jane cut in. "I am the one who said I love you," Jane said, suddenly getting very nervous. 'Shit, what if she's just telling me she wants to be my friend...Well...at least I still have my friend,' Jane thought, nerves playing across her face.
"Jane, you have been quiet protective of me, even when you were hurt. You've risked your life for me. You've shown me friendship, and happiness, that I've never received from anyone, especially a man. You make me feel safe," Maura said softly and calmly. Jane smiled and blushed.
"Maura, I really care about you, and I think it's more than just my friend," Jane said bitting her lip slightly.
"I know, I've noticed. And I've liked you for quiet sometime. But you are one of my only 'real' friends," Maura said. "Truth is, I've liked you as more than a friend since the day I met you," Maura smiled sliding closer to Jane on the couch.
"Really?" Jane asked kind of shocked. She was caught off guard.
"Yes, now let me continue please," Maura demanded politely. 'Only Maura could make a demand politely,' Jane thought. Jane nodded and Maura continued. "I've liked you for a long time, and you do not know what it means to me that you love me back. Maybe in a different way than I care for you, but I'm pretty sure I'm not wrong about this. Jane, people are attracted to strength, safety, beauty. You have all of those qualities. Why do you think I pick out all the flaws in the men I've dated?" Maura asked. Jane opened her mouth, but Maura answered her rhetorical question. "Because none of them measure up to you Jane," Maura smiled. Jane couldn't help but grin.
"You like me?" Jane asked excitedly.
"Very much so," Maura smiled.
"I like you too," was all Jane could manage at the time. Maura leaned forward and captured Jane's perfect lips in her own. She sucked on Jane's bottom lip softly and Jane parted her lips allowing Maura control and access. Maura pushed Jane back on the couch slowly, taking caution to her injured shoulder. Maura deepened the kiss, pushing her hands deep in to Jane's hair. Jane placed her hands on Maura's waist and held her in place and she enjoyed what Maura was doing to her. Maura pulled back slowly, pulling Jane back up so she was sitting again.
"Wow," was all Jane could say. Maura grinned. "So what does this mean?" Jane asked after she gained her composure again.
"Well, normally, when two people are attracted to each other, and share a passionate kiss, they usually take it to the next step as dating. That is just most of the time. Other times.." Maura continued.
"I got it, Maur," Jane laughed. "Maura Isles, would you like to go on a date with me?" Jane asked. Maura smiled.
"I would love for you to take me a on a date Jane!" Maura exclaimed. Maura reached for the TV remote once again.
"What are you doing?" Jane asked as she watched the blonde.
"Well, you were watching a game, and I'm pretty sure you are curious as to what the score is," Maura said turning the TV on.
"I think I love you," Jane grinned as her attention immediately turned to the TV. Maura laughed and got up. "Where are you going?" Jane asked standing up quickly, as her attention immediately went to the blonde.
"I need to go feed Bass," Maura said as she slid her heals back on. "Would you like to come?" Maura asked.
"Yeah, I haven't seen him in a while," Jane said as she pulled her hair in to a baseball cap.
"Maur, since you're going to be staying with me for awhile, why don't you bring Bass over," Jane said. "I know it's smaller at my apartment, but it would be easier then going back and forth everyday," Jane suggested as she leaned against Maura's large island in the kitchen.
"That's a great idea Jane!" Maura smiled as she fed Bass a strawberry. "How would you like to see Jo Friday, Bass," Maura talked to the tortoise as she pet the top of his shell. Jane smiled as she watched the blonde interact with her pet. "Let me just change and grab some things," Maura said as Jane's phone rang.
Maura appeared in the kitchen with a bag dressed in grey slacks, and a lavender silk top. 'wow' Jane thought.
"Maura, why don't you put some clothes on to relax?" Jane questioned.
"The are my relaxing clothes," Maura said as she displayed what she was wearing with a spin.
"Of course they are," Jane laughed as she grabbed the bag from Maura.
"Jane, your shoulder. Let me take that," Maura said reaching for the bag.
"Maura, I'm not broken. My other arm is perfectly fine, and thanks to you, I've been getting rest at the hospital, and most of today. I can carry this bag. Besides, didn't you have some broken ribs and a punctured lung recently," Jane asked as she smiled.
"Oh, yeah. I forgot about that," Maura thought. "I've been so worried about you, and making sure you rest I forgot about my pain," Maura winced as it all hit her. Jane rubbed Maura's back as she leaned forward against the same counter.
"How about we just go back to my apartment and watch a movie. We will make sure each other rests. Okay?" Jane asked. Maura looked at her and smiled.
"That would be lovely Jane," Maura said resting her head on Jane's shoulder and hugging her softly with one arm. "I'll ask Frankie to come get Bass in the morning. I don't think either of us can move him right now," Jane said as she escorted Maura to the door.
"That's a good idea. I don't want to interrupt either of our healing process by straining ourselves," Maura said as she pulled her coat on.
"What movie do you want to watch?" Jane asked as she pulled up her Netflix account.
"Oh, there's this special on wild cats I've been wanting to see," Maura started excitedly. "But, I can watch that some other time, you pick the movie," Maura smiled. "What was the phone call about?" Maura asked trying to change the subject.
"Oh, it was just Ma, asking how we were doing. By the way, we are having dinner with her tomorrow. I hope you don't mind," Jane said as she went to the kitchen to make some popcorn.
"Not at all, I enjoy your family dinners," Maura said excitedly again. Jane leaned against the counter and pushed her hands into the pockets of her sweats and listened to the popping.
"Well they love you, even if they do embarrass me," Jane rolled her eyes.
"Now now Jane, every child thinks their family embarrasses them. I enjoy your family a lot," Maura said as she opened the fridge and grabbed two bottles of water.
"Yeah, 30 years of experience proves otherwise," Jane laughed. "Are you sure you don't want something more comfortable?" Jane offered. "Not that you don't look stunning or anything," Jane added quickly.
"Actually, I do think I'll change. I don't want to fall asleep in these clothes," Maura excused herself from the kitchen.
"Help yourself to anything in my room," Jane shouted as she went and hit play on a movie, before pausing it. She went back into her kitchen and fed Jo Friday as she barked at her feet.
"Hungry girl?" Jane asked the small terrier. Maura walked back in to the kitchen wearing one of Jane's community colleges hoodies and a pair of yoga pants.
"You look much more comfortable," Jane laughed.
"Thank you, I like your hoodie," Maura said.
"Can I ask you something," Jane asked as she pulled the hot bag from the microwave.
"Anyone can ask anyone anything," Maura started with what Jane was sure to be a long complex answer.
"Maur," Jane stopped her.
"Of course you can Jane," Maura smiled pulling a large bowl from the cabinet.
"Since when were you interested in girls?" Jane asked curiously as she walked into the living room with the popcorn.
"I've always been attracted to women Jane. They are beautiful," Maura said.
"You know what I mean. Since when have you wanted to date girls?" Jane asked.
"Well, in college I dated a few, just like I dated some men. I always knew I wanted a girl, but I would bring home guys to my parents. But I'm to the point in my life, that my happiness is what matters, and I am very happy with a girl," Maura said to the point. Jane smiled and kissed her forehead.
"How long have you been into girls Jane," Maura asked as Jane sat down.
"Well, I've never had any luck with men. I guess I didn't know I was interested in girls until I met you," Jane smiled. Maura grinned and snuggled into Jane.
"So what movie are we watching?" Maura asked as Jo jumped up by her feet. Jane put her feet on the coffee table allowing Maura to get more comfortable in her lap. Jane grinned and pushed play.
"First in our Journey across the animal kingdom, we make a stop in the Sub-Saharan Africa..." The commentator on the TV started.
"Jane!" Maura exclaimed. "You didn't have too," Maura said looking in the deep brown eyes.
"I know, but I wanted to," Jane smiled as she watched the blonde's face light up as a cat appeared on the screen.
"Thank you," Maura smiled kissed Janes lips lightly. "Look it's a Panthero Leo!" Maura said. Jane looked confused until she saw the Lion on the TV. "Did you know, wild lions are almost extinct everywhere but the Sub-Saharan desert, and parts of Asia," Maura said just before the commentator said it on the television.
"I did not know that," Jane laughed as Maura watched the TV very closely, making a mental note of everything that was said. Jane ate her popcorn half watching the TV, and half watching Maura in her lap.
"That was very interesting! I learned so much," Maura said sitting up, stretching slowly, being careful of her tender ribs.
"I learned a lot too," Jane yawned. Maura stood up and pulled Jane up.
"Let's go to bed," Maura said walking with Jane to her bedroom.
"Come on girl," Jane called into the dark living room. Jo Friday jumped right off the couch and followed the two into Jane's bedroom.
"Thanks again for playing the documentary. I know it wasn't your first choice," Maura said as she snuggled into Jane in bed.
"It was interesting. I enjoyed it. Besides, my girl wanted to watch it. So I really don't mind," Jane yawned before slowly closing her eyes.
'I am all yours. I am your girl,' Maura whispered before falling in to a deep somber.
