Okay, so this is the last chapter. I am going to write a sequel, don't worry. Again, sorry for the short chapter.
After a week of staying in the hospital, Jane was finally released. Jane has been thinking a lot lately about how she has never been more happy than she is when she is with Maura and Maura could feel her watching her all the time.
"What's going on in your head, Jane. And don't try lying to me."
"Nothing. I've been thinking about us."
"Us? What about us? Are you breaking up with me?"
"What...no, Maura, I am not breaking up with you. I already made that mistake once and I am never doing that again. I promise." Jane gave Maura a quick kiss.
Later that day, Jane had Frankie go to the Jeweler (and when I say had I mean made) and got an engagement ring to give to Maura soon since Jane was still in pain every time she tried to walk. So when Maura was at work, Jane lit candles around the backyard, and placed rose pedals from the front door to the backyard and sat down in a chair until she heard Maura's car pull up.

"I don't know Angela, it seems like Jane is watching me all the time."
"Well, she's trying to protect you from you-know-who."
"I know she is but I can protect myself too." Angela raised an eyebrow. "Okay, not really, but I can protect myself to a certain degree."
"Look Maura, I know my Janie and all she is doing everything she can do while she is out of commission to protect you."
"Thank you. Well, back to work for me." Maura ran into Frankie in the hallway on her way back to her office.
"Frankie, may I have a word?"
"Sure doc." They go into Maura's office and sit down.
"Is there something going on with Jane? She's been acting weird."
"Nope. Jane's fine." Maura raised an eyebrow.
"Are you sure?"
"Yep. Excuse me, I have to get back to work." Once Frankie got into the elevator, he called Jane.
"Jane, Maura is starting to suspect something...No, I didn't tell her...okay, I will try to keep Ma out of this and out of the house...See ya." Frankie hung up the phone.
When Maura packed up for the day, she headed home. When she saw the rose pedals on the floor, her heart started racing.
"Jane?" Maura called out.
"Backyard!" Jane called out. Maura walked to the back door and smiled. There was Jane, in the center of candles that is in a shape of a heart.
"Are you in pain right now?" Jane shook her head and grabbed both of Maura's hands.
"Maura, I don't know how to say this. You know I am not good with my words. Anyway, I have loved you for a long time. I was still in love with you when I went to college and the Police Academy. And when I saw you again many months ago after spending many years alone, I fell back in love with you. If I never met you, I wouldn't like you. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't love you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't miss you. But I did, I do, and I will."
Jane grabbed the velvet box from her pocket and got down on one knee. "Maura, will you marry me?"
"Yes Jane, I will marry you." Jane slides the ring on Maura's finger and stands up and kisses her. What ever the girls were feeling about each other, they knew they can't fight them, because in the end, they will always be there for each other.
Okay, so I am ending it right here, because I think it's a good ending to end with. Anyway, I am writing a sequel that deals with wedding planning and more drama dealing with Hoyt. And who knows, Arizona may pop back up again, but you are going to wait and find out. Plus any tips would be helpful.
