AN- Well, thank you to my pain-in-the-ass sister, SnapTobiume10, for being really supportive and all that good crap, and also RavenSkyAngel, for wanting me to do Chapter 2. Well, here it is, guys!

Hope you like it!

PS, it starts out as Jane, then switches to Maura for the rest.

I walked into Homicide, and plopped down at my desk. Korsak and Frost looked over at me.

"How's the day going, boys?" I said, without even looking at them, and took a sip of my coffee.

"It's gonna be a slow day." Frost said, looking back to his computer intently.

"How's that porn, Frost?" I stated smugly.

"I don't watch porn at work!" He replied indignantly.

"Yea, at work. And I'm sure you do on slow days." Korsak chimed in.

Frost just shook his head, and pointedly went back to typing on his computer.

I remembered I had coffee to bring Maura, and grabbed it, walked over to the elevator, pressed the button, and stepped in when the doors opened. I pressed the button for Maura's floor. As the elevator jerked to a start, I thought about the woman I was going to see. I think I've fallen in love with her.

Then I remembered that day in the park, so many years ago. Where that little blonde girl had had me fall for her, when I hadn't known her for more then a few hours. I remembered that day perfectly. Her horses, one huge and black, and the other a smaller paint. She had light blonde hair, lighter then Maura's. But her features. They were somewhat like Maura's. And her hazel eyes were the exact same shade. With those little green flecks.

I realized the elevator door had opened before me, and I stepped out. I walked into the autopsy room, the room where my life changed forever.

"Hey, Maur. Here's your coffee." Jane's voice startled me out of my thoughts. I smiled gratefully, even though there was nothing to do, and took it out of her hand.

I expected Jane to just say bye and leave again, but she stood leaning against the door frame of my office, looking at me. It made me self-conscious, and I looked down at what I was wearing. Nothing was spilled on it. I couldn't figure out why she was staring at me like that.

"What's wrong, Jane?" I said, not being able to stand her staring at me like that any longer.

"Nothing." Jane shook her head, as if she thought she was losing her mind, "I'll see you later, Maur. I should go see what kind of mischief Frost and Korsak are getting into." And she walked out.

"Now I wonder what that was all about." I muttered to myself, and then went back to shoe shopping for a pair of heels to go with my new red silk dress.

I stepped out of the elevator on the Homicide level of the BPD building.

"Hey, Jane. Can you come down to my office when you get a chance?"

"Sure, Maur." She said, from where she was looking intently at Frost's computer over his shoulder. I thought that was weird because there were no cases today, but I left to go wait for her in my office.

When Jane had left my office, my mind had wandered. The way she looked at me reminded me of how people had looked at me when I was a child and said something more then a little bit advanced. Confused, and more then a little bit dazed. There was only one person in my whole childhood that hadn't looked at me like that. That girl that had come to see if I was okay in the park that day I had run away from my parents, the one that I had somehow loved. Her name was Jane, too. Now that I think about it, she had raven-colored curly hair too. And the same shade eyes as Jane, that dark chocolate brown. Could it have been my Jane? Surely not. Of course not.

Jane walked in, looking at me.

"What's wrong, Maur? Are you okay?"

"Yea, I'm fine. I just wanted to know why you were looking at me in such a peculiar way earlier."

Her features battled for a dominant emotion, ending in a careful mask of indifference. "I was just thinking of something that happened a long time ago. It was nothing."

Maura started. Then she regained composure, and decided it was time to figure this out.

"Oh, you mean 'something a really long time ago' as in seeing a little girl with blonde hair sitting beside a tree with a huge black horse next to her, worrying about her when she was still there a few hours later, going over to see her, and then meeting up with her the next day when she has a paint horse with her, almost kissing her, then pulling away, her running, and then telling her your name, and you didn't hear what hers was? That kind of 'something a really long time ago'?"

Jane was staring at me, her mouth agape. "Maura Isles, that was one huge run-on sentence, and I would so hold this over you if I hadn't just found out something I had been wondering all my life."

"Oh, so I was right," I said.

"Yea.. That was me." The next words seemed to just fall out of her mouth, "I fell in love with you that day and I've been in love with you ever since."

I stared at her. I had fallen in love with her too. I just thought she hadn't felt the same way. She had pulled away, after all.

"I.. I fell in love with you too, Jane."

The next thing I knew, our lips were pressed together in a passionate kiss. I finally felt complete. It had taken so long for us to realize.

But it was so right.

AN- So, what did you think? Thank you for reading guys! It would really mean a lot if you reviewed. Thanks again!
