Maura watched Jane from the kitchen, she couldn't believe that Sarah was Jason's biological mother. She saw the resemblance, and she knew it was without a doubt true, she just couldn't believe that she was in her house, that she was sat next to Jane, comforting Jane as she cried about not being able to get Jason out of the house safely. Maura believed everything Sarah had said, she knew Sarah didn't blame Jane for what had happened. In fact she could tell that Sarah blamed herself.
After plating up the food she walked back into the room and handed Jane a plate. "What would you like to drink?" Maura asked softly.
Jane was so lost in thought she barely heard Maura speaking to her, she was pulled out of her thoughts when she saw the plate of food in Maura's hands waiting for her to take it. "What did you say?" Jane rasped out.
"What would you like to drink?" Maura repeated. "Beer, water, wine?"
"I'll have a beer please."
Maura nodded before walking back into the kitchen to get Jane a beer and herself a glass of wine. Once she was seated next to Jane, they both eat relatively silent, with the TV on just as background noise. Either of them was paying any attention to the program that was on.
…
Jane had gone to bed not long after they had picked at their takeaway. Neither of them had eaten much. Maura was just finishing up in the kitchen, after feeding both Bass and Jo Friday. She told Jane she wouldn't be long until she came to bed. That was just over an hour ago. She had put it off knowing Jane would want a little time alone to think things through. Maura couldn't find anything to do now to keep her mind busy, so she decided to go and join Jane in bed and try and get some sleep.
She had just turned the kitchen light off when someone knocked on the front door. She was tempted to ignore it and just pretend she didn't hear it, until whoever it was knocked louder this time. She huffed before she opened the door to find a very angry looking Angela Rizzoli stood on her door step.
"Angela?" Maura smiled as politely as she could.
"Where is my daughter?" Angela asked.
"She's in bed, I'm presuming she will be asleep, she has had a very difficult day." Maura replied, hoping Angela would just leave it as that and say goodnight.
"Don't lie to me, she isn't even here is she?" Angela snapped.
"Of course she is. I've just told you she is in bed."
"So why when I came around earlier, was there a prostitute leaving your house?" Angela shouted.
Maura had to laugh, or Angela was really going to see her bad side. Of all the things Angela had done what had pissed Jane off these past few days, she thought she could forgive. But now having Angela practically accuse her of sleeping with a prostitute, that she wasn't sure if she could forgive.
"How dare you?" Maura relied. "You knock Jane down as much as you can in the past few days, enough to make her drive all the way New York just to see me. You try and set her up with Frankie friend when you know she's admitted her feeling towards me. And now you come into my house when my girlfriend is asleep and accuse me of sleeping with a prostitute? I don't get what your problem is Angela. I know it's got nothing to do with Jane. So it must be about me?" Maura took a deep breath before continuing, "I'm sorry Angela, but I can't help you get over your problem with me. And until you do, it might be wise for you and me to steer clear of each other."
It was at that very second when Maura noticed Jane out of the corner of her eye. She instantly felt a little guilty, but mostly because she saw the look on Jane's face. Jane smiled at her to let her know it wasn't her she was mad at.
"Ma," Jane snapped. "Just go."
Angela took a step towards her daughter. "Jane, she lying to you."
"About what, Ma?" Jane replied. "The so called prostitute?" Jane had to stifle a laugh when she saw her mothers face. "She wasn't a prostitute Ma. She works for New York Vice. She was undercover. Her name is Sarah." Jane took a deep breath before continuing, "she's Jason's biological mother."
Angela took a deep breath. She couldn't believe what her daughter had just said. She saw Maura lower her head, she was shocked when Maura looked back up with tears in her eyes. They all had thought of Jane as Jason's mother, even though they all knew the truth, Jane had always treated Jason as her own. "Can I come in?" She asked softly, looking at Maura.
Maura nodded. "Yes." She replied, while moving out of Angela's way. She left Jane and Angela alone in the room and went to her bedroom hoping that tonight, everything would be sorted for once with Jane and her mother. And hoping she and Angela could sort things out tonight as well. She always hated arguing with any of the Rizzoli's especially Angela Rizzoli as she had always thought of her as a mother figure.
It was around 11pm when Angela got up to leave. Jane had spent the last few hours talking to her about Sarah, about her and Maura and listening to what her mother had to say about trying to set Jane up. Angela pulled her daughter into a hug, "thank you for listening to me and letting me explain my actions. I'm sorry about the way I handled it all."
Jane smiled as she pulled out the hug. "It's ok Ma. But you need to talk to Maura before you leave. I'll call pop and tell him you're staying here for the night. Give you and Maura some time to talk properly."
Angela nodded. She knew Jane was right. She had sorted things out with her daughter, now she had to sort things out with, who she considered to be her second daughter.
