Here's the next one peeps!=)
"Hey Maur, what are you doing?" Jane walked into the kitchen and greeted Maura with a kiss. "Ma says hi."
"Be sure to tell her I said hello as well. I wanted to do something nice for my bébé on her first day on the job," Maura replied as she placed Jane's plate in front of her. "Shrimp Portofino for my love," Maura said. "Now I know you're not supposed to drink on the job, but since this is your first day I figured we shouldn't push you drinking right before your shift either; I opted for a soda for you and I hope that's alright."
"I hadn't even thought of that Maura, thank you. You spoil me so… GOD THIS IS DELICIOUS!" Jane let out a small moan as she savored one of her favorite dishes.
Maura just smiled back at her. "I'm glad you like it, love."
The two enjoyed their meal with light conversation. Maura talked about what she was currently working on in school and what projects she had coming up while Jane talked of her nervousness about meeting her new partner.
"I really do hope you get along with them fine bébé. I'm sure the department takes certain things into consideration and truly hope you click on some level."
"I do too Maur. This person and I are going to have to have absolute trust in one another… be able to take a bullet for the other so it better be someone I can get along with."
"What time does your shift start?"
"It starts at 7 and it's a 12 hour shift. It's going to be a loooooong night," Jane emphasized."
"I'm sure going to miss sleeping in your arms. I'll get used to it I suppose, but I didn't want it to be something I ever had to get used to," Maura said sadly. "At least all my classes start late morning at the earliest so I'll see you when you come home. We can have breakfast together before I leave for school and you won't go to bed on an empty stomach. The problem is going to be some afternoons. I know that some labs are going to take me a long time and I may not make it home in time to see you before you leave."
"I know Maur. At least we will still get to see each other every day; that counts for something. Let me just get started. Once I've been working the beat for a few months maybe I can submit a request to get a schedule change, who knows. Hopefully this will only be for a while."
"I hope so bébé… my schedule is only going to get worse once I start doing training and clinical rotations."
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves baby. Let's just take it a day at a time, ok? We will figure it out when we come to that crossroads."
"Alright, that is quite sensible," Maura agreed.
"So I don't have to leave for another hour…" Jane commented as she was finishing up her dinner.
Maura looked at the clock and thought of her own schedule. "I have a paper to work on, but I can definitely postpone it until after you leave. What did you have in mind for that hour, officer?" Maura asked seductively.
They made eye contact and Jane wiggled her eyebrows and gave Maura one of her signature smiles. Maura laughed out loud. "You're going to have to shower again," she pointed out.
"Believe me when I tell you, it will be well worth it… unless you want to move it to the shower?" Jane suggested.
"Well, I was planning on showering later anyway," Maura said. "How do you Americans say it? Killing two birds with one rock?"
It was Jane's turn to laugh. "Two birds with one stone Maur." She took Maura's hands in hers and practically dragged her towards the stairs. "Come on, I want to make the best of that hour!"
Jane dragged her feet inside the house a little after 8 in the morning. Her shift had been utterly boring, with not a single thing out of the ordinary during her patrol. Her partner it turned out was not a bad match either which was something she was quite grateful for.
"Jane? How was your first day on the job?" Maura asked as Jane made her way into the kitchen to see the blonde preparing the two of them breakfast.
"It was so completely boring Maur… I'm exhausted. It was so hard to stay awake! I'm definitely going to need a caffeine fix tonight!" Jane sat at the island.
"Breakfast is just about done bébé, and then you can get some rest. How was your partner?"
"He's seems like a good guy. His name is Rick. He's been a cop for 3 years already. He's about our age anyway since he joined the academy right out of high school."
"I'm glad it seems to be a good fit my love. I was worried for a while that you would have problems with that." Maura served the bacon and egg breakfast with toast on a plate and handed it to Jane who began devouring it the second it was in front of her.
"Man I'm so hungry! This is really good Maur, thank you!"
"You're welcome," Maura said as she began to eat her own breakfast. "I have class in one hour so I'm going to have to leave when I finish. There's a little surprise for you before I leave though."
"Oh yeah? What is it?" Jane asked in between mouthfuls.
"Finish your breakfast bébé, and then I'll give it to you."
They made their way up to their bedroom once they were done with their meal.
"I know it is incredibly difficult for me to sleep in the middle of the day because of sunlight. We've never really talked about it because it hasn't been an issue before but…"
"Yeah, it happens to me too," Jane filled in.
"I took a chance that you might have that issue, so I got you a little something." Maura opened their bedroom door and signaled towards the large windows.
Jane chuckled. "I'm definitely missing something, because they look the same to me as they did yesterday," she said.
Maura walked over to the night stand and pulled out a remote. "Here," she said. "Push this button."
Jane did as she was told. A very soft whirring sound was heard as blinds were lowered over the windows blocking the sun out completely. Jane looked around the room and couldn't tell if it was day or night out.
"Maura, this is wonderful! Thank you so much baby, I LOVE IT!" She wrapped Maura up in a huge hug and kissed her for good measure.
"I'm glad it's something that's going to be useful for you my love, that was the whole point," Maura said with a smile.
"Oh yeah, I'm definitely gonna rest up now," Jane said as she went into the closet to get out a change of clothes. She came out a minute later, dressed and ready for bed. "So will I get to see you before I leave tonight?" she asked Maura.
"Yes, I'll be home before you leave, love."
"Ok baby, well have a good day at school." Jane kissed Maura once more.
"You get plenty of rest bébé, and I'll see you tonight." Maura smiled at Jane once more before exiting the room and continuing on with her day.
Jane climbed into bed with a satisfied smile. She really did luck out in the girlfriend department. Maura was always so thoughtful and caring… she was going to have to do something extra nice for the blonde in appreciation of her gift.
Is Jane a lucky woman or what? Let me hear it!
