Chapter 2:
Jane gazed into the golden amber eyes of the woman she loved, as she did her mind gave a funny little sideways slip. Suddenly all she could see were all the dreams and fantasies that surrounded Maura. Fantasies and dreams that eventually she had gotten over being ashamed of, (this was her best friend they were about) and had embraced them believing they were all she would have beyond friendship with Maura. Jane gave a slight shudder. Oh God was this another dream? Was this only occurring in her sleep?
Maura's smile faded as a faint frown took it's place. Jane's eyes had glazed over and her lips had tightened to a razor thin line. She felt the shudder go through the slender frame wrapped around her. "Jane? Jane?" She called softly to her detective, when that received no response she gently took her arm and gave it a light shake. Maura rapped her head lightly off the wall behind her as Jane snapped back to life. Maura was left speechless at her first words.
"Is this a dream? Am I sleeping or awake, cause if this is another dream then fuck it I don't wanna wake up. I can't, I won't, I'll just stay here forever as long as you don't leave." Jane's voice was low and ragged, Maura could hear the tears and the pain waiting to flow.
"Jane, look at me ok? If this is a dream then we are sharing it, just like we do everything. I too wouldn't want to wake up, and leaving you is something I will never do! Do I make myself clear Detective?" Maura could see hope starting to shine in Jane's eyes, those deep brown eyes she got lost in all the time.
Jane's heart leapt in her chest and began a frantic gallop. Her voice took on a plaintive quality that brought tears to Maura's eyes. "So I'm awake then? You're really here, and you know I love you and you love me back? Right?" Jane had gotten all of that out in almost one breathe, she drew in a giant gasp of oxygen.
As she paused to draw in another breathe Maura pulled her into a bearhug. "Yes you are awake My Love, I'm here and I've got you. Yes I do love you with all of me, and yes Jane, I know you love me too. You've been showing me that for a long time." Tears flowed freely down the face Jane could stare at for hours.
A slight squeak from Jane had Maura looking up at her face. Jane's face had gone beet red, Maura had managed to get her hug in before Jane had inhaled. " Maura, loosen up please?" Jane barely rasped out. Maura jumped back rapping her head off the wall again, harder this time briefly causing stars in her field of vision. Jane wheezing a little wrapped Maura more safely in her arms.
Maura gave a glare as Jane let out a chuckle. "Jane just what is so funny?"
Jane gave Maura the trademark Rizzoli smirk. "Us babe." Jane motioned between the two of them. "First me zoning out then freaking out on you. Then you little Ms. Graceful knocking your noggin off the wall twice. Speaking of are you sure there was no brain damage Maur?" Jane deadpanned.
Maura gasped in outrage, "And just what do you mean by that Jane?" Now Maura was beginning to fume, this was not going at all the way she had hoped. That smirk on Jane's face was almost the last straw, Maura was tired and confused.
Jane's smirk died instantly, she could see everything going through the eyes of Maura and she was disgusted with herself for being such a jerk. When she was overtired Maura could not hide her feelings, they shone through her eyes like searchbeams. Those search beams always had only one target and their aim was true and unwavering. Jane's heart clenched as she read her loves eyes.
"Maura? Sweetheart I'm sorry. I know I was being an idiot." Jane recoiled but didn't lose her grip around Maura's tiny waist as two slender hands began pounding on her chest. Jane just stood and took it as Maura's hands slowed then stopped, one palm laid flat against her heart.
Maura slowly raised her head, tears still falling like a warm summer's rain. Maura's voice had dropped a register and she slowly began to speak. Jane used her thumbs to whisk away the tears staining Maura's cheeks. " Jane? I know you don't like labels, but I need to know what this is, I need to know who we are now? I told you once that I never asked for much as a child, because I don't think I knew how..." Maura trailed off.
"Maura sweetheart just ask me anything, I will move heaven and earth for you. I don't like labels, because people use them to pigeonhole others. Labels never cover all that makes up a person either. As far as you and I go, " Here Jane paused a soft light coming into her eyes. Jane cupped Maura's face in her hands, " I love you and I want to be with you. No one else could ever make me feel the way you do, so ask me Maura ask me for what you need, for what you want just ask."
A soft smile graced coral pink lips, even though tears still threatened. " You, Jane. I want you and just you alone." Maura looked deep into Jane's eyes.
Jane gave a small chuckle "Maura I've been yours and yours only almost since we met." Jane cleared her throat. " So does this mean you want to be my girlfriend then?"
Jane was almost bowled over as Maura pulled Jane into her and buried her face in Jane's neck. Her breathe tickling Jane's throat and causing a deep flush to cover Jane's chest and face. Maura's sigh of relief fluttering the hair around Jane's ear, evoking tingles throughout her body. A perma smile took over Jane's face at Maura's soft response of yes please.
Maura was surely in Heaven, even if as a scientist she did not ascribe to a belief in God or the Devil or even an afterlife, this must be what Heaven felt like. She burrowed even deeper into Jane's arms, her right hand idly playing with the hem of the towel.
"Maura, I need to just be kissing you again." Jane bluntly stated. Maura graced her with her brightest grin, as she rose once more on tiptoe to comply.
Just as their lips met, Jane's cell began ringing. Jane dropped her head on Maura's shoulder. " No no no, not now for fuck's sake!"
"Jane language please." Maura chastised lovingly.
"It's Ma, I've gotta answer it cause she won't give up, damn it." Jane gave a growl deep in her throat as she released Maura and went in search of her phone.
