A/N: So here is the last chapter for this story. Sorry I kind of got lost on it. My muse has been obsessed with my other story. I plan on doing an epilogue to wrap things up. Maybe I will get inspiration again and do a trilogy but until then, I will keep updating Power Dynamics: After Dark with more of the sexy adventures these two will get up to. Enjoy!
Maura and Jane were back sitting on the couch that they had not half a day ago sufficiently desecrated with their raunchy play, but this time, they were both red as tomatoes, enduring the blazing glare of matriarch Angela Rizzoli.
Jane had been on such a high after her talk with Frost at the cafe. So much so, she had needed to see Maura immediately. However, as they had come back into the precinct, Jane had run into her mother who had brought food over for Frankie. Jane had tried to make a quick excuse as to why she couldn't stop and talk to her mother but Angela had been insistent. Eventually, Jane had faked a text from Maura about the case and had scurried as quickly as she could to the stairs, not wanting to get stuck with her mother in the lobby waiting for the elevator.
As Jane peaked briefly up at her still silent mother, Angela must have decided to follow Jane to grill her some more about whatever it was she had been going on about and had caught Jane 'molesting' the good doctor. Jane couldn't judge the emotions coursing through her mother. Clearly Angela was having a strong reaction but since Jane and Maura had separated and made their way to the couch, Angela had not said a word, simply choosing to scowl at them.
Maura was the first to break and through her embarrassment started, "Angela, just to be clear, Jane was not doing anything to me that I did not want her to do." This caused Jane's eyes to bug out of her head. That is not the path that Jane expected Maura to take but watching her mother's face told her that perhaps it was the right approach after all. Angela's features had softened a bit but she was still frowning at Jane.
Jane summoned her courage and choked out, "Ma, I love her." Obviously her mother wasn't expecting those words from Jane because the look of shock on her face made Jane snort out a laugh. Turning to look at Maura to revel in shocking her mother, she saw a similar face reflected back at her. Jane reached out and tipped Maura's jaw closed for her.
Looking back at her mother, Jane said, "Really, Ma, it can't be that much of a surprise." Jane was finding her courage, especially as she felt Maura's hand slip into hers where it was resting on her leg. "You know how close we are and it feels like it was only a matter of time before we finally came to our senses." Jane felt a squeeze on her hand but still her mother was just gawking at her.
"Angela, I love her too. I have for so long and was so happy when Jane returned it. We are happy. Please be happy for us," Maura said pleadingly. Jane could see that Maura had tears in the corners of her eyes, waiting to fall depending on what Angela's reaction was. Although, Jane thought, knowing Maura, the tears would fall whether the reaction was good or bad.
Finally it seemed that Angela snapped out of her shock as she closed her mouth and dropped heavily into Maura's guest chair. She continued to look between the couple who were still holding hands on the couch. After a few more minutes of silence that had Jane's nerves on edge, Angela let out a puff of air and smiled.
"Well, I guess I am glad you girls finally did something about all that sexual tension. I mean really, the rest of us were all drowning in it every time you were around each other." Now Jane felt her jaw drop. Leave it to her mother to be inappropriate even in her apparent acceptance. Angela chuckled, seemingly amused by the looks on their faces.
"Don't look so surprised. It would take a blind man not to see how you two feel about each other but I'm more upset that you felt you needed to hide it from!" Angela said the last bit while returning her scowl to Jane. Jane felt the need to protect Maura's honor and said, "I was the one who wanted to hide it, Ma. Maura wanted to tell everyone right away."
Jane turned to Maura as she again felt a squeezing of her hand. Maura's face was the picture of radiant joy. Jane couldn't resist and leaned over and kissed her soundly on the lips. The clearing of her mother's throat pulled her back almost instantly. "Just because I am ok with things doesn't mean I want to watch my daughter molest my other daughter. Get a room, girls!" Angela said highly amused with herself.
Jane just scoffed and yelled, "Ma!" However, Jane could hear Maura giggling and looking back at her doctor she whispered, "Oh you think that's funny, do you? Just wait until she interrupts one of our 'sessions'." That snapped Maura out of her laughter and she stared wide-eyed at Jane. Now Jane had a fit of giggles.
Angela had just been watching the two women whispering to each other and something seemed to occur to her. "Is this why you two haven't been spending too much time at the house?" Seeing Jane and Maura blush deeply, Angela barked out a laugh. "Well, I guess I understand that. But Maura dear, you shouldn't feel like you need to be kicked out of your own home, especially since Jane is such a slob." Angela said this pointedly at Jane with a look of disgust.
"Ma! Seriously! Just stop!" Jane shouted. Maura squeezed her hand and said, "I am sure we can work out some kind of boundaries to ensure that Jane and I can be intimate without any of us being traumatized at my home." Jane now looked at Maura in shock. "What? You know my home is more suitable for our 'activities' and I intend to take full advantage of that now that everyone knows." Jane was mortified.
Apparently this had been the wrong thing to say in front of Angela because now she yelled, "Wait! Everyone else knows?! Why am I always the last to find out about these things? Janie, you never tell me anything!" Angela was starting to whine. Jane looked at Maura with a look that said 'really?' and turned to her mother, "Ma, everyone just found out like an hour ago. Don't make such a big deal about it."
Angela mulled this over for a bit and seemed to calm herself. "So you were going to tell me?" Jane felt her penetrating gaze. She didn't want to lie to her mother but the truth would surely hurt her feelings. "Some people found out like you did so I wasn't purposely not telling you more than anyone else," Jane said since it was the most true statement she could make. Maura looked at her with confusion on her face and Jane tried to get her to play along.
"Anyway, Ma, Maura and I are together and I would ask that you respect our privacy and maybe let Maura know before you just come into the house from now on," Jane said quietly, not wanting to upset her mother further but needing to establish some boundaries. Jane had plans for Maura now that they could take advantage of the larger space Maura's home allowed. Seeing the gleam in Maura's eyes, Jane knew Maura had her own plans and that made her instantly wet.
Before she could get too lost in her thoughts and the sparkle in Maura's eyes, Angela let out a loud sigh. "Girls, I am going to have to keep a fire extinguisher around just to cool you two off!" Jane was back to mortified within a second and just put her head down to avoid having to look at her mother at all. Maura let out a chuckle and lifted Jane's face to look at her.
"Angela, what would you say about an all expenses paid vacation for a week?" Jane's eyes grew wide. "Um, well, that sounds nice but I don't understand," Angela responded, obviously confused at the change of subject. But Jane, with all her detective skills kicking in, caught on real fast. "Yeah, Ma, haven't you been saying you would like to check out the Bahamas? Maura and I would like to treat you since you work so hard," Jane said while giving her mother her biggest smile.
Clearly she had oversold this because recognition crossed Angela's face and she barked out a laugh again. "Oh I see, you girls are trying to get rid of me." Jane would have been embarrassed if she wasn't so excited about a full uninterrupted week of Maura. "Angela, we would just like to say thank you for being so welcoming of our new relationship and if we so happen to take advantage of the time you are away to be intimate, well, everyone seems to win," Maura said as innocently as she could muster.
Now it was Jane's turn to laugh and she couldn't stop herself from laying a big sloppy kiss onto Maura's lips. "Yeah, Ma, get out of here so I can have fun with my lady," Jane said cheekily. Maura pulled back from Jane and looked at her with a cocked eyebrow. "I mean, Ma, it would be my privilege to assist you in packing so that I may spend time appreciating the love of my life," Jane corrected. The smile Maura gave her let her know that she had done well and would possibly be rewarded later.
"HAHAHA, oh Janie, she has got you so whipped! I love it!" Angela choked out between fits of laughter. She did however get up and after kissing both of them on their heads, finally left them in peace. Jane pouted as she said softly, "I'm not whipped." Maura just kissed her pouty lips and as she pulled back, sucked Jane's bottom lip into her mouth. Jane let out a low moan.
"Not yet, Jane, but as soon as your mother leaves, you will be." Jane shivered at the tone Maura used and the look she was now giving her and was immediately back to fully aroused. Yeah, they were going to need to plan this trip ASAP!
A/N: Ok well, that's a wrap-ish. As I said, an epilogue will be coming. Let me know if you think I did our Power couple justice. Til next time!
