Colin watched as his lawyer went back and forth with the DA. "What case? At this point you don't even have any witnesses!" his lawyer argued.

"We don't need them," The DA countered. "And as far as tampering goes…we'll nail your client on their murders too…you expect us to buy a random helicopter accident. Once the reports come back and we know foul play was involved…you'll burn," the DA hissed at Colin. "I knew Detective Rizzoli personally. You're looking at the death penalty if it's proven you had anything to do with that accident."

"I had nothing to do with that," Colin answered coolly. "But I'd like to shake the hand of the person who did…" he laughed. He may not have got his daughter back…but the bitch that stole her, and her lover were both dead.

"Frost!" Keri screamed at the top of her lungs.

"What? What is it?" he came running into the room she was in. He followed her pointed finger to the TV screen as the reporter spoke…

"This is Dan Patterson with WBZ news. We're looking at live footage of helicopter crash," he took a breath. "Details are limited but we have a reporter down at the scene. Kelly what can you tell us?"

The feed cut to a young woman who spoke loudly, avoiding police, fire fighter personal.

"Dan though reports are not confirmed at this time…we've learned that the helicopter was en-route back to the Striker airfield, where FBI and other special tasks force Detectives were waiting. Onboard were the pilot and three special witnesses believed to be directly involved in the a recent operation," Kelly read a note that was handed to her.

"Dan we've just received word that the other people on board were a Boston detective, her name is yet released as well as another unidentified woman and a child. We'll be back with more as details became more available. Dan…"

"Thank you Kelly," the man held his breath. "Stay tuned to the 11 o'clock news for more details."

"No way…" Frost shook his head. "No…it can't be."

Keri pulled out her cell and dialed Jane's number. It went to voice mail directly. "What is the last time you spoke to her?"

Frost grabbed his own phone and dialed. "Captain…it's Frost. I just watched the news…what the hell is going…" he paused and listened.

"Why didn't anyone tell me!" he shouted.

"It's not them right? Jesus tell me it isn't them!" He lowered the phone and looked at Keri.

"No…" Keri shook her head. If he didn't say it…it couldn't be true.

The shots fired echoed through the cemetery. "Detective," the men nodded as Frost and Keri walked arm in arm. The lone casket sitting in the open area.

"This feels like a dream," Keri said in the limo ride back.

"I can't believe she's gone," Frost sighed and rubbed his temple.

"This feels wrong," Keri sipped from water. "She shouldn't be there. She should be with Maura. I mean for God's sake…she died to save her! They should have been buried together."

"Maura's family wanted Maura and Jenna there in their family plot."

"Well where was her family when all this was going on?!" Keri asked feeling her temper rise. "Jane was all I had…and now she's gone. She died saving someone she loves. Someone she felt connected to. What could be more noble then that? Shouldn't we let them rest together in the afterlife?"

"Honey I understand what you're…" Frost was cut off by the ringing phone he heard coming from behind the bottle. "Is that yours?"

"No. I left mine at home."

Frost reached behind the bottles and pulled out a small cell phone. The number displaying on the flip phone came up unregistered. He flipped it open. "Hello?"

"Listen to me very carefully. When the limo reaches its destination, you'll find a trash bin on your left. Throw the phone in there. The front compartment of the limo has two bags. Each bag has a change of clothes. Funeral attire won't do. Change into the clothes. We haven't much time."

"Who is this?" Frost asked.

"Please Detective…I'm asking you to do as I say. It's the only way you and Keri can see."

"See what?"

The line clicked dead. Frost arched his eyebrow and leaned forward. Under the drink area was a cabinet. Sure enough there were changes of clothes. "What the hell is going on?" he asked as he climbed forward tapping on the window. The car did not stop. And the driver did not answer the phone when he called up.

"Frost what's going on?"

I'm asking you to do as I say. It's the only way you and Keri can see.

"Change into this," Frost said looking at Keri.

"What?" she asked confused.

"Do it Keri. We don't have much time."

Hours later the limo came to its destination. The driver unlocked the doors. "We're here," he said through the intercom system. "Don't forget to throw away the phone."

Frost grabbed the phone and slipped it into his jeans pockets.

"Where are we?" Keri asked as they exited the limo.

The smell of salty air and sound of seagulls washed over them. The surf could be heard crashing in the background. "Oh my God," Frost said feeling a smile come to his face.

"What is it?" Keri asked taking his hand.

"My Grandparents used to take me here all the time when I was a kid," Frost said looking up and down the secluded shore. "God. I can't believe this," he looked at Keri.

"What is it Frost?" Keri could see the tear run down his face.

"After my Grandmother died…I told Jane about how we used to come here. I told her it was the best way for me to connect with my Grandmother. We made a vow…that if something ever happened to one of us in the line of duty…we'd…" he shook his head. His eyes caught something in the distance. "Oh God…"

Keri looked up and saw something in the distance too.

"Please," Frost whispered as theories and memories crashed through his thoughts. Keri took the first step forward.

"Is that…" her legs began to move as did Frost's. The sand could be felt squishing beneath their toes.

Frost wrapped his arms around Jane. "Thank God…Thank god," he whispered over and over again. Maura was holding Jenna. "You're all okay?" Frost wrapped an arm around Maura. Keri kissed Jenna and then Jane.

"We thought…"

"We're sorry," Maura cried. "It was the only way we could ensure Colin would leave us alone."

"So…witness protection?" Frost asked confused.

"Sort of," Jane nodded. "We're getting some help, but for the most part Maura and I agree that we'll be safer going under by ourselves and just starting over."

"Do you need money?" Frost asked. "I can get a wire."

"No," Maura smiled. "That's all been taken care of. We just couldn't…go without seeing you and making sure you knew."

"What about your family?" Keri asked Maura.

"No one else knows but you two. You're our family," Maura locked eyes on Keri.

"Frost I need you to keep your eyes and ears open. Colin…he's still dangerous even thinking we're dead."

"Anything," Frost nodded. Jane handed him a cell. This is a pre-paid cell. You can reach us anytime through it. It's not traceable."

"Where are you going?" Frost asked.

"It's better you don't know," Jane said leaning forward kissing Frost on the lips. "Take care of her huh?" Jane smiled looking at Keri.

"Take care of her," Frost looked at Maura.

"I will."

"Frost and Keri," Jenna opened her arms wide.

"Will we see you again?" Keri asked Jane.

"We don't know," Maura answered honestly.

"Be safe," Frost hugged the three women as did Keri.

Hand in hand, the three women walked away down the beach. Frost and Keri just watched, holding each other.

In the not too distant Future…

Maura sighed contently as she heard Jane and Jenna out in the kitchen. Getting out of bed, she placed her rob on and walked down the hall.

"Morning mom," Jane smiled as Maura sat slowly in the chair. "Hungry?"

"We made pancakes," Jenna smiled. "And we picked the berries fresh this morning."

"Well I don't think I can turn down fresh berries and pancakes from my two favorite women." Maura watched as Jane tickled Jenna's side and they brought the pancakes over to the table. The knock at the door caused the women to look up. Waving through the screen was Jenna's best friend, Adrienne.

"Hey Rienna," Jane smiled. "Come on in."

"Hi," Rienna smiled. "Jen you want to come and play with our new dog?"

"You got a new dog?" Jenna asked excited. Jane looked at Maura and smiled. Both women knew what the topic of the next week would be. Dogs…dogs…and more dogs.

"Can I mom?" Jenna asked pleading.

"Sure," Maura nodded. "Just take a pancake with you…you need to eat something," Maura smiled as her daughter grabbed a pancake and rushed out the door.

Jane just smiled as Maura shook her head. "I swear to God…she reminds me so much of you when you were younger."

"Me?" Jane gasped with laughter. "You wish."

"Jane…that girl is more like you then…well you," Maura realized how silly that sounded.

The small Villa they'd been living in for the last two years was hopping with excitement. There was a town fair happening that weekend. "Are you making those pies?" Maura asked Jane.

"Yeah already did one this morning while you were catching up on your beauty sleep," Jane winked.

"I still can't believe how domesticated you are," Maura laughed.

"It's all your fault," Jane smiled. "Before you…the only thing I made in the morning was strong black coffee and cheap insults to my partner about his flavor of the month," Jane smiled.

"Believe me…Detective Rizzoli," Maura whispered as she stood and walked to Jane, "…You've made a lot more then that as of late." Maura lowered herself on to Jane legs, straddling her.

"Yes- waking up and making you is also one of the highlights of my day," Jane winked capturing Maura's lips in a kiss.

"That's not what I meant…but romantic," Maura smiled.

"Okay I give…what else did I make?" Jane teased. Maura leaned forward kissing Jane's neck and brining her lips up to her ear. She whispered one small word.

"What?" Jane pulled back. Maura just held the smile. "For real?" Jane asked shocked.

"For real."

She captured Maura's lips in a kiss. Slowly pulling back. "I love you so much Maura."

"I love you too," Maura smiled back.

"I can't believe this."

"You're happy?"

"Are you kidding me?" Jane smiled. "I've never been happier."

"So that leaves us with one last question."

"What's that?" Jane asked.

"A boy or a girl?"
