Maura reluctantly had to let Jane's hand go when they got to the hospital and Jane was rushed straight into surgery. "Don't leave me please." Maura whispered to Jane before she let her go.
Maura walked out of the hospital and searched her bag for her phone. As she pulled it out, she didn't have a clue how she was going to let Jane's parents know about all this. She found the number she needed in her phone book and pressed ring. It hang five times before Angela picked up the phone.
"Frank...will you get that" Angela shouted at her husband. In reply she heard him snoring. "I'll take that as a no." She chuckled to herself. "Hello." She didn't hear anyone reply. "Hello...is someone there?" She asked starting to get a little mad. "Erm...Angela..." Angela had to strain to hear the voice. "Maura dear... is that you? You have to speak up I can't hear you very well." She was starting to get a tiny bit worried at why Maura was phoning her, but not talking. "I'm at the hospital Angela. I think you and Frank should come down here as soon as possible." Angela spun around. "Frank... get up, we need to go to the hospital." Angela shouted. "Which one?" Angela asked Maura. "It's Jane...I'll explain when you get here. She's in surgery at the minute, she's stable, but she has been shot." Angela turned to see Frank getting up. "We'll be right there Maura, honey." "Drive carefully." Maura whispered back.
Twenty-five minutes Maura was sat on a bench outside the hospital entrance waiting for Angela and Frank to come. She had her head on her lap, she had to admit she looked a mess. She had Jane's blood on her clothes, but she couldn't find the strength to change into the scrubs one of the nurses had handed her. She jumped at the feel of a hand touch her shoulder and squeeze. "Angela...Frank..." Angela gave her a small smile. Maura stood a few seconds later. Suddenly realizing she should have changed her clothes as the small cry escaped Angela's mouth. "Oh...I'm sorry, I should have changed, but I haven't have the strength to move." Angela looked away, she couldn't stand to look at that blood knowing it was her only daughter's. "I'll go and cha..." She was cut of by Angela. "How is she?" She had turned to face Maura again. "She's still in surgery, no change. They will let us know when she is out. I'll take you to the family room before I change." Maura lead the way through the hospital and opened a door into the family room, "they will come and tell you anything when they know. I'll let them know that your here. I'll be back in a few..." A horrible thought sprung into Maura's head, she suddenly needed some some air. "Maura...honey." Angela spoke, seeing Maura suddenly back away. "Maura...look at me." Once Maura complied, Angela continued, "what's wrong?" Maura felt the tears sting her eyes as she tried to hold them in. "I'm sorry. All this time I've... I've been presuming you want me to come back. I didn't even realise that you probably don't." Angela and Frank exchanged a look then both chuckled a little. "Maura, of course you're welcome to come back. You're family." Maura smiled then left, before the tears fell.
Maura walked back into the room where Angela and Frank were fifteen minutes later wearing the scrubs the nurse gave her earlier. Her hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail and for the first time Angela and Frank noticed she wasn't wearing any make-up. "A nurse came in earlier and told us that she is still hanging in there and she should be out of surgery soon." Maura nodded and slumped back into a chair. "Maura honey, have you called Robert to let know him that Janie is here?" Maura could feel the anger building up inside of her at just the mention of his name. "He's the person who put her in here in the first place." Maura whispered. "What are you talking about?" Maura looked at Frank and then at Angela, she didn't know how to tell them. "Robert shot Jane. That's why she is here. Our switchboard got a call earlier from Jason, the cruisers responded but me, Korsak and Frost got there first. Jason..." she looked away from both of them. "Oh god...No. Maura, is Jason...Is Jason okay?" Maura couldn't hold the tears in any more. As they silently fell down her cheeks, she continued, "He's dead. We didn't get to them in time. Robert shot himself. I found Jane in the kitchen holding a blood soak towel to her stomach." Angela fell into the seat behind her while Frank just stood there as white as a ghost. "Does Jane... does Jane know about Jason?" Frank asked. "No... or at least I don't think so, she was unconscious when I found her and the shootings only happened a few minutes before we..." They all fell silent as the door opened and a doctor walked in. "Hi, Mr ans Mrs Rizzoli? I'm Dr Luke Nolan. I'm the doctor looking after your daughter." Both Rizzoli's shook his hand. "Dr Maura Isles," Maura gave him a weak smile. "Jane is out of surgery and is in the ICU, she's doing well." All three of them let out a sigh. "Can we see her?" Frank asked. "Of course you can, follow me." He lead the way to Jane's room, with Maura keeping behind them all.
Both Angela and Frank entered the room and walked straight over to Jane. Maura stood at the door watching them. Why didn't you come to me for help Jane. I could have helped you. Frank noticed Maura wasn't in the room with them, he saw her still standing at the door watching them. He saw her shake her head and walk away...
Maura thought she would let Frankie know how his sister was getting on. He was on a stag do with a few of his and Jane's cop buddies in Mexico, and Maura knew they would want to know that she was going to be okay. The phone rang four times before Frankie picked it up. "Maura, how is she?" She could hear the worry in his voice. "She's doing okay. She will be okay." She heard him sigh in relief and tell everyone she was okay. "We're all trying to get a early flight home so we can be there with you all." Maura knew that Jane would hate it if they had to cut their trip short. "No, don't. I'll keep you updated. She would hate it if you all came home early." She laughed when she heard him try to protest, but she knew that he knew it was true. "Okay, fine. We'll stay. We'll be back in a week. Look after her for me." "I will do. Oh and Frankie... enjoy yourself. Take care." As Maura ended the call she saw Angela walking towards her.
"Maura, there you are. I have searched for you everywhere." Angela smiled weakly as she sat down next to Maura on the bench. "Hey." The weather had changed in a matter of minutes and Maura suddenly realized that she was freezing. "You're cold." Angela stated as she handed her Jane's jacket. "Where did you get this?" Maura asked, she knew she didn't bring one of Jane's jackets with her, and Jane wasn't wearing one when she found her. "Janie forgot it a few days ago when she came around. I thought she might want it back." Maura swung the coat around her shoulders not bothering to put it on properly. She inhaled deeply smelling the scent of Jane. "How come you didn't come in the room? You know you're welcome to." Maura turned to look at Angela, tears glistening her eyes. "I don't know." Angela placed her hand on top of Maura's, it had just started to rain, "Shall we go back inside honey, we'll get soaked through if we stay out here, looks like a storm is coming." Maura nodded but didn't stand up straight away. Angela pulled her up and wrapped her arm around Maura's shoulder. "Come on."
