Sitting at her desk, bored out of her mind, Jane decided to look up the link Tommy sent her earlier. It was a video. Wasn't such a bright move looking the stuff up on the station's computer.
"Good morning, Jane." Maura said as she came up from behind the detective, running a hand down her arm before setting a coffee in front of her girlfriend. She was definitely a little more touchy freely than the brunette, sometimes nearly forgetting they were keeping their relationship a secret for the time being.
Jane looked up and smiled. "Hey sweetie." She took the cup and sipped it. "Mm just how I like it. How about we get some lunch at that place you were telling me about, today?"
"Sounds like a viable plan." Maura smiled, then noticing the video title on Jane's screen. "Jane, are you really still looking into all of that? You're going to end up a conspiracy theorists. Which would probably help you understand some of our suspects but still."
"Eh, I'm bored. It's a slow day. I'm not breaking any laws. Plus, Korsak looks at puppy videos all day. I'm actually getting tired of hearing 'Dawww'."
Maura laughed. "But those dogs really are adorable. And just try not to get too caught up in it all. Otherwise the government may sweep in and make you disappear." She teased, trying her hand at humor.
"Ohh I'm so scared." She chuckled. "Would you miss me if they took me away?"
"Immensely." Maura quickly replied, moving to lean against Jane's desk as she looked down at her girlfriend. "Who would insult me and then turn around and make me feel like the most amazing woman in the world then?"
"Hmm not many people." There were only a couple rookies around in the bullpen and none were looking at the couple. Placing her hand on Maura's thigh, Jane smiled. "You don't have to worry about that though. I'm not going anywhere."
Maura loved the feel of Jane's rough, scarred hands on her smooth skin. Her hands were the doctor's favorite part of the detective. "We have dangerous jobs, Jane. Neither of us can make any sort of promises." She said realistically, hating the words, though.
"Well I don't plan on leaving you any time soon." Her thumb stroked Maura's bare thigh lightly. "You're to beautiful to leave. Knowing I'll see your face everyday at work makes me get up a little earlier in the mornings."
"You can be really sweet sometimes, Jane." Maura subtly glanced around them, leaning a bit closer. "If there wasn't anyone in here, I'd probably kiss you right now."
Jane smiled and stood up from her chair, moving in front of Maura, so the two rookies couldn't see the detective. "You're blocking their view." Leaning in, Jane kissed Maura softly.
Frost was just about to walk through the door to the bullpen when he saw the kiss through the window. A smile crossed his lips and allowed Jane to pull back before he walked in, not mentioning what he witnessed.
"Hey, Jane, Maura. How's it going?" He casually asked as he strolled in, taking a seat across from Jane at his desk.
Maura slipped off the female detective's and turned to face him. "Good morning, Barry."
"Hey Frost." Jane smiled. "It's going." She chuckled. "Pretty damn boring today."
"Yeah, I know." He sighed, slouching in his chair. "Maybe you two could take off early. Go have a girls' night or something."
"That does sound tempting. You sticking around til the actual ending of our shift?"
"Yep." He nodded. "I'll let you know if anything goes down."
Maura smiled brightly. "Thank you. We owe you."
"Sweet! Thanks, Barry."
Jane grabbed her jacket and coffee cup and headed to the elevator with the doctor to go down to the morgue to grab her things.
As soon as they'd stepped into Maura's office the doctor turned and kissed Jane again, a little more deeply than their one upstairs. "Now that is a kiss, Jane Rizzoli." She winked before grabbing her purse and jacket to walk out with the detective.
"Mm I love it." She took her girlfriend's hand and walked out the back and toward her cruiser. There was a big part of Jane that wanted someone to see them like this. It would be easier than saying anything, especially to her mother.
Maura linked their fingers and leaned a little closer to the detective, always letting Jane dictate how much they did in public since she personally didn't care if anyone else knew she adored Jane. "So what should we do with the rest of our evening?"
"I vote we go to the park, take a walk then go to lunch and maybe go see a movie... well really make out while a movie is playing." She chuckled and opened the car door for Maura and once the blonde got in, Jane leaned in and kissed her cheek before shutting the door and getting in her self.
"Sounds like the perfect afternoon." Maura smiled as she looked over at the detective, fastening her seat belt. "And it depends on what movie we're seeing. I might actually want to watch it." She chuckled.
"Then we pick one... wait! You would choose to watch a movie instead of make out with your very willing girlfriend?" She asked with a gasp.
"Perhaps. If it was a very interesting movie. You and I can make out at home any day." Maura smirked, loving to tease her incredibly sexy Italian girlfriend. It wasn't like she could ever really deny Jane.
"That is so rude." Jane smirked as she looked at the road as she drove toward the park. Once there, the detective parked and got out with Maura. Knowing no one they knew would be there, she took the blonde's hand and started their walk around the park.
Linking their fingers together once again, Maura began their next conversation as they walked. "So, Jane, I've been thinking... would it be okay to come out in public now? We've been sneaking around for a couple of weeks."
Jane stopped in her tracks and brought Maura closer. "I've been thinking too and I realized that I don't care what my mother, brothers or anyone else has to say about me dating the most beautifully smart woman in Boston." Moving her free hand around, she placed it on the small of the doctor's back. "Tomorrow, I'll think of something to let everyone know at once."
Maura smiled brightly. "Really? I mean, if you're afraid of some of the stations' reaction or how your mother will respond, I'll understand. It's just that I love being with you and I don't care if others know it. I'm proud to call you my girlfriend, Jane Rizzoli."
"I'm sorry I've been wanting to keep this under wraps. I didn't do it because I'm ashamed of being with you, I just... I didn't want all the drama that could follow us coming out to effect you in anyway. I didn't want you hurt." Leaning in, she kissed her womanl. "I'm proud to have you as my girlfriend too." Her fingers ran through soft honey blonde tresses. "I love being with you."
Maura stepped closer and took hold of the lapels to Jane's blazer, looking into her eyes. "Before you and I were ever friends, I was already being called Queen of the Dead. What people say about me, doesn't bother me any. And anything that comes out the mens' mouths will just be jealousy anyways." She smirked.
"That is true. They'll be jealous of me because I have the most beautiful woman in the world by my side." Jane chuckled and leaned in kissing her softly. "I'll tell the family tomorrow, but for tonight you're stilll my secret."
"I can handle one more night of being your secret." Maura smiled and kissed Jane softly. "Things should be interesting with your family. That's for sure."
"Oh yeah. It could go one of two ways. They hate it or they love it." She sighed. "Either way, I'm yours."
"Hopefully they're okay with it. At least after they take some to adjust." Maura sighed and then started to walk again, tugging gently on Jane's hand.
"Well Ma has always wanted a doctor in the family."
Getting back to Maura's house the couple cuddled on the couch and ate Chinese takeout and watched Once Upon a Time. "Lana is my freebie. Is that cool with you?"
Maura looked over at Jane with a head tilt and arched eyebrow. "Only if I get to join." She grinned mischievously.
"Oh my god! I have got to find that woman's number!"
Maura laughed and sat back against the couch. "Good luck with that one." She smirked. "Her acting skills are about the only thing holding my interest right now. I could just pick this show apart. I mean..." Maura hushed when Jane cut her off.
"No! No picking of the show. It's good and the Evil Queen is a perfect bonus." She chuckled right before her cell buzzed.
"Janie, here's another link" Tommy texted to her then sent the link in a text to follow that one. Jane smiled then shut off her cell. "Another link I'll have to check later."
"As if you haven't already looked at enough." Maura teased, poking Jane with her foot.
A few hours later they were lying in bed, the detective spooning the doctor who was already halfway asleep.
Jane kissed Maura's shoulder as she held her close. Jo was curled up at Jane's back, snoring lightly. The detective couldn't sleep. All she could think about were the soldiers. She believed most of what Tommy sent her. She had become a conspiracy theorist. Finally about 4am the brunette drifted of into a light sleep only to be woken up by the alarm at 8am.
Maura scooted to the edge of the bed to turn the alarm off and then rolled to face her girlfriend, kissing her lightly. "Good morning. Would you like to grab the first shower since it takes you less time?"
"Oh yeah, diva queen." Jane joked before kissing her cheek and headed off to grab a shower.
Once both were dressed and ready for work, they left together in Jane's squad car and headed to the station.
"Ah, shit. I forgot my cell." Jane groaned as she pulled up to the front of the station. "I gotta run back. Tell the boys where I am?" She asked. "I'll be back." After Maura agreed and closed the door, Jane pulled out of the spot and went back to the Doctor's house. Jane barely made it to the front door before the whole thing blew up.
