The next morning Constance met Maura as she walked down the stairs "Maura... Can I talk to you?"

Maura nods and walks to the kitchen sitting at the table

"Maura, I was thinking about what you said to me last night, you're right. I should love you for who you are. You are my daughter, thats what matters. Not whether you like men or women.. Maura, you are you. If you love Jane... Who am I stopping you seeing her"

Maura smiled "Really?"

"Really. But I expect a meal with this girl, and I will treat her as I would've treated any man you dated. Maura, Dear, I do love you. I do. And if this girl makes you happy, then I cant stop you. But Maura, dear, please keep this private.."

"I will. Mother, thank you" Maura said pulling the older woman into a hug

Constance holds the girl and whispers "I just want you to be happy dear. I'm sorry I didn't see that sooner"

"Its okay Mom"

Constance smiled "Thats the first time you've ever called me that.. Its always Mother"

"Do you not like it?"

"The opposite. I prefer it. Maura, I'm sorry I just shouted abuse at you last night. I wish I could rewind time and we could've talked it all out. I didn't intend to hurt you... Or Jane"

"Mom, can I tell you something?"

"Of course dear.."

"Today, I didn't go to school. Last night, Jane was..hit by a car, I spent the day in hospital with her.."

"Is she alright?"

"I think so. She woke up before I left and we talked. I told her I'd call back today.. Would you like to join me?"

Constance kisses her daughters cheek "I'd love too dear"

As they walked into the hospital room Maura smiled at Angela who smiled back at the the girl.

"Mom, this is Jane's Mother, Angela. Angela, this is my Mom"

Constance held out her hand to Angela "Constance Isles"

"Angela Rizzoli. Nice to meet you"

Constance smile when she looked up and saw Maura over at Jane's bedside, curling a piece of the girls hair around her finger and Constance noticed she was speaking Italian.

Angela smiled "Your daughter is very smart. She was speaking Italian and French here yesterday.. You did a wonderful job with her"

"You did a wonderful job with Jane too Angela. She truly cares for my Maura"

"Same with Maura. I saw that yesterday, God she was so worried for Janie. She tried to hide her worry, for my sake I think, but its not hard to spot in her. Janie spent all evening talking about her then.. Maura this and Maura that"

Constance smiled "You and Jane have a excellent relationship"

"We have. She is my angel.."

Constance nods "I understand.. How is Jane today? Any improvement?"

"The doctors said she's going to sleep a lot, give her body a chance to heal. They said she can go home in a couple of days, so I guess its not too bad"

"I'm glad.."

Constance and Angela both look up when they hear one of Jane's machines rapidly beeping.

Maura looks down at her girlfriend, terrified then presses the emergency call button in the back wall.

The doctors run into the room and ask Maura to step away. She looks back at Angela and her Mother who both look worried.

The doctors are like blurred figures, running from one side of Jane to another and Maura feels the tears run down her cheeks.

Then the doctors say it.

"OR 5. We need to stop this. Now"

Maura feels her knees go weak and before she knows it her mother and Angela are by her side

"Easy Maura. Come on, up you get" Angela says putting her arms around the girls waist as Constance hoists her up

"You alright?" Constance asks rubbing the girls back

Maura just shakes her head unable to speak. Jane just got a whole lot sicker.
