First before we delve into Jane's soon to be catastrophic relationship, lets learn a few of the things that are slowly breaking Maura's relationship with Jen. And because of the situation Jane is in I think it's only best that we hear it from her.
When they had started dating Maura told her that even as the CME there were a few risks and that on occasion she had managed to find herself in dangerous situations. At the time Jen had accepted this as reality as she never really understood how dangerous the situations were. It wasn't until Maura was once again in harm's way did Jen realize the severity of it.
After Jane had once again saved Maura from the bad bad men, the two went back to Maura's to relax and talk and for Jane to just be there to comfort her best friend. That day's events were hard for Jane the morning was like any other morning body call. The body was sent to the morgue and Maura would start her exam while Jane began her investigation. Jane was hesitant to leave Maura that morning something not feeling right in her gut. But Maura insisted that she go on back to the office to start while Maura waited for the transport truck that had gotten stuck in traffic after a 3 car accident on a bridge. Jane went back and when she had gone downstairs an hour later sure that Maura would be there, she was shocked to find that morning's body on the table waiting, and no one in the morgue but Yoshima, who was doing his usual routine in preparing the body as per Dr. Isles' instructions that the body was to be prepared as soon it arrived and she would begin as soon as she was in.
Jane asked Yoshima where Maura was, and he said that she hadn't been in yet that she texted him to prepare the body and that she was on her way but that was over an hour ago. Jane immediately whipped out her phone to call Maura, but it went straight to voice mail. After that she ran back up to the bullpen to tell Frost to do a GPS search for Maura's phone. When it was completed the team followed to coordinates on the print out and arrived at a small abandoned building. When they were inside Jane could hear Maura's cries for help and her pleading that they stop and believe her that she had nothing to do nor did she know anything about Paddy Doyle's plans for the Irish Mob or who would be taking over, now that he'd been caught.
When they got to the room there was a gun to Maura's forehead and tears staining her cheeks even as new ones fell, she was bound to a chair her hands and feet all tightly duct taped. And there was a small reddish-brown stain on her right temple and crusted in her hair. It physically hurt the team to see it but hurt Jane the most. Anyways they shot the man that was just about to slap Maura across the face with his gun when Jane shot him while Frost and Korsak shot the other two henchmen. Jane ran straight for Maura and began untying her, and telling her everything would be alright. As soon as Maura was freed she just fell into Jane's arms and the pair sat in heap on the floor until Maura's sobs had subsided.
Anyway that night Jen and Sarah went out after being told by Jane and Maura to leave them alone together for a while. Then next night however Jen was begging Maura to take a job at the hospital where it'd be much safer, and she was completely disregarding Maura's slight fear of living people.
That and then there were just little things that Jen did, not using a coaster, her foul language when watching sports, she didn't clean up after herself without being asked sometimes, or would just say she'd do it later. Little things that just started to get to our favorite ordered and tidy doctor. It was when she saw Jane coming to her rescue again that she realized that she would rather spend time with Jane and she felt safer and fit better in Jane's arms then Jen's. Of course Maura would never say anything about this to anyone because if she did tell someone it would be Jane but she couldn't because Jane was happy. So when those thoughts would pop into her head she just pushed them away. The next day was her night out with Jane. During their lunch break Jane had seemed a little off, and by that I mean she was angry downright pissed, but said that they would talk about it later. They made their plans to hang out at Maura's maybe chill in the hot tub to relax and hopefully take away some of their stress.
After work Maura went home to get ready, knowing that she'd have to tidy her house as Jen had been there most of the afternoon. They had been arguing and Maura told her that it was best if they saw other people, and that it was just wasn't working out, Jen defiantly said fine and began to gather her stuff while Maura was in her room changing into her swim suit when she heard a loud thud. She tentatively called out for Jen but was met with no reply, so she did the most natural things she dropped what she was doing, taking her dress off she left it in a heap on the floor and ran down the stairs in her underwear to find Jen on the floor. Checking for a pulse immediately she found it but it was very faint. Next she checked her breathing and she was breathing but she was unconscious. After rechecking that Jen was in fact actually alive Maura ran to get her stethoscope and her pen light and calling 911 on her way to locate the items.
On her way back to her unconscious girlfriend wearing her red stethoscope that coincidentally matched the red bra and red lace thong is when Jane came in, when she did they both stopped dead in her tracks and Jane began, "Maur, we had plan's now is not the time to be playing doctor with your girlfriend." She said trying to mask the arousal she was feeling at the sight of Maura, golden blonde hair falling beautiful onto flawless skin, skin so white that the red underwear literally popped and said you have to look at me, and that Jane did she stared openly taking in Maura's breast, breasts she already knew held such pleasure for her and Maura, and then followed the toned stomach down to the underwear and she could already again remember the taste of what lays beneath. Then followed the doctors amazing legs to the floor then quickly looked back up to Maura whose face was anything but a positive emotion.
"Jane I'm not playing, Jen's unconscious, I was upstairs getting dressed and there was a thud I ran down to find her here" Maura said pulling Jane to the spot where Jen was lying "she's breathing and has a faint pulse, I called 911 they're going to be here soon." She said while using the pen light to check dilation which didn't turn out to be what she hoped for, then using the stethoscope for listen to her heart again, it was getting a little stronger than when she checked it before.
"Go get some clothes on," Jane said to Maura, "she's breathing her pulse is getting stronger you said it yourself and EMT's are going to be here soon and I don't want them to be seeing you like that. And besides I'll be here if anything changes" Maura was reluctant to go but she did because she saw many EMT's both as the ME and also as a doctor in the clinic. When she returned she was in Jane's shorts and one of Jane's Red Sock t-shirts. Jane again couldn't stop staring at the doctor and Maura knew that look but also knew the look she read in Jane's eyes when they finally met. Jane was hurting and happy and loved her she could tell just from the look on Jane's face.
Jen started to move and Maura tried to keep her still when she started to come to, she looked up at Jane and Maura staring down at her "W...what...happened?" "I'm not sure exactly you were down here and then I heard a loud thud and came to see what happened and you were passed out on the floor, but Jen please don't move okay? The EMT's will be here any second and you need to go to the hospital, you had a very poor pulse and your pupil dilation was less than ideal, I think you may have had a stroke or maybe a small blood clot has formed and you need to get it checked out."
"Are you coming with me?" Jen asked Maura as the EMT's came in and Jane filled them in and they loaded Jen
"No sweetie... I'm not...I meant what I said, but I will call Sarah and have her meet you there I think she cares for you a far more than she intends to let on"
After the EMT's took Jen away, Maura took out her phone and did as she said she called Sarah who for whatever reason unknown to her sounded upset with her for no reason, but nevertheless she proceeded to tell her what had happened and to meet Jen at the hospital and then ended the call. After that Jane opened her arms and Maura easily slid into them wrapping hers around Jane's waist and holding on for dear life.
After a few minutes like that they went up to Maura's room and where the doctor finished changing and Jane went to get wine. Maura met Jane on the back patio, where she was greeted with a large glass on wine, and the two got into the hot tub and sipped their wine.
"So..." Jane said awkwardly as the only words that had been spoken since Maura had made her call to Sarah, were Maura telling Jane which bottle of wine to locate and open. "Did you just break up with her?"
"Well no not exactly I broke up with her before she passed out"
"Ah" Jane said and they fell into a weird silence. Maura had been watching Jane the entire time reading her facial muscles and from them she knew that she was relieved, which she hypothesized came from the end of her relationship with Jen.
"We were different and as you know we had some problems especially after what happened last month with the kidnapping."
"Right"
"But we were supposed to be sitting in here drinking while you told me what was going on and what had caused all the anger you felt earlier."
"I wasn't anger, my pride was hurting a little, but I wasn't angry"
"You were angry, you were even seething, you were also snapping at everyone today. Where's the bottle?"
"It's in the kitchen I'll go get it." When Jane returned with the bottle she topped up Maura's glass as well as her own placed the bottle within arm's reach and climbed back in.
"Well are you going to tell me?"
"Tell you what?"
"Jane Rizzoli, I know you better than you know yourself most days I know something is bothering you no spill it!" Maura demanded
"Okay okay, fine, last night Sarah and I were together and then we weren't okay happy?"
"NO, there's more you aren't just with someone then you're not there is generally a reason. I want the details and if I don't get them, your middle name will become public knowledge" Maura playfully threatened
"Well fine, if you insist on prying into my personal life" Jane said in mock guilt tripping.
"I do in fact insist on prying into your personal life, especially when I know that whatever has happened was big and big enough to end a relationship that you seemed so content in."
"Fine do you want all the details or just the general overview?"
"Jane... you know I want all the details, you know I need all the facts or information, and that I have a hard time functioning without all the details."
"Okay, so after her and I got back to her place last night, we started making out, and that then turned to tentative touching and exploration, and fuck it, I was going down on her and when she was coming she screamed out someone else's name."
"Are you sure?"
"I know my own name Maur, I've heard it yelled said whispered etc in every tone and expression available, it wasn't my name. She said it twice the first time when I had hit a particularly sensitive spot, but there was other noises and I thought I misheard it that time, but the second time was when she screamed it and it wasn't Jane."
"Whose name was it?"
"Jen"
"WHAT?"
"Yeah she's in love with her and I realized something else, I'm not in love with Sarah, I've been in love with you since day one of when we met, Maur, I'm sorry, I should go."
"Jane wait." Maura said grabbing her wrist before she could leave and pulled herself to a standing position to be as close to eye level with Jane as she could and wrapping her arms around Jane's waist while Jane instinctively did the same. "That's partially why I broke things off with Jen, I realized that I feel safer in your arms, and I'd rather spend time with you."
"What are you saying Maur?"
"Jane, I'm saying that I love you too. You are who I want to be with when we talked about it before I said that I didn't want to try a relationship with you because I couldn't lose you as my best friend if things didn't work out, but I'm realizing that I can't live my life without you, and the three times that we've been together were the three best times of my entire sexual life. Jane I am in love with you too."
"You are?"
"I am" they stood there staring at each other for a couple of minutes before Maura spoke again "Umm Jane, are you going to kiss me now? Or suposhh" She was cut off by Jane's lips and they shared the most passionate loving and tender kiss that you could clearly see the love these two women shared now that they had both stopped fighting the feelings they had for one another.
The pair was interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat. They reluctantly parted and then gazed into each other's eyes. Again the offending person cleared their throat and the two looked over to a very happy smiling Angela "It's about damn time you two. I don't know why you didn't listen to me before when I told you both you were made for each other. You two are clearly soul mates, and instead of hiding the feelings you had for each other you should have been TOGETHER celebrating them not with other people having meaningless sex" she said triumphantly she clearly must have been watching from the window of the guest house. She turned to leave and began talking perhaps to herself maybe she intended for the pair to hear but she said "Jesus I don't know what's wrong with today's kids they all have their heads so far up their asses they can't even see what's right in front of them." She then turned back and yelled at the two from the door to the guest house "I still want grandchildren you guys ain't getting any younger, and Janie stop staring at the poor girl and kiss her, I'll be at your apartment tonight so I don't hear anything this time, unlike the last time you two hooked up." And then the door was shut.
"So I guess you're staying the night now" Maura said
"I guess so, and Ma's going to be gone so this time I won't have to shush you like last time even though the shushing was ineffective"
"When you shushed I intentionally got louder, and don't act like you didn't like it, because your physical response to my moans and screams was proof enough that you liked it."
Maura said while kissing and pushing Jane up the stairs and out of the hot tub and towards the house before Jane stopped them. She grabbed a towel and wrapped around the doctor and said "You" and kissing her on the nose "Wait right here" as she then walked back to the hot tub picked up the empty wine bottle and the two glasses and running them back inside before coming back out and to a stop in front of Maura. Jane reached around and released the clip holding Maura's hair up. "I like it better down" she said before pressing their lips together for another passion filled kiss. Jane's arms went around Maura's waist while Maura's arms were around Jane's neck and her fingers threaded into her hair. Jane had to bend down to be able to kiss the doctor and when she straightened her back while holding Maura to her effectively removing the doctor from the ground. Maura wrapped her legs around the tall detective who then took them and expertly navigated through Maura's house with her eyes closed for the most part but staring into Maura's eyes when they were open.
They made their way to the bed and Jane place Maura down in the center of the bed and the pair made love to each other for hours.
