Maura and Jane were left alone for a while the next morning the whole time talking and laughing about anything that wasn't Jane's health.
Maura spent the whole time smiling. She was just happy to have the girl awake and talking to her.
Around an hour into their conversation Constance walks in.
"Maura, sweetheart. I'm sorry but I have to go. I'm needed in New York but I have news, your father is on his way home. I haven't told him, if he has a problem, call me. I'll talk to him. I'll be home as soon as I can sweetheart. Love you" Constance kisses the girls cheek
"And Jane. You feel better. When I get back, if you're feeling up to it, I'd love to have you over for a meal. Okay?"
Jane nods "Of course Miss Isles"
"Constance, please. I'll see you later girls"
"Bye Mom"
"Bye Constance"
Constance leaves the room and Jane kisses Maura.
"She really is okay with us" Jane smiles and Maura nods
"I was as shocked as you were" Maura smiled
"Ya know, I'm so proud of you. You stood up to her and you got through to her. You are amazing Maur"
"I just stood up for us."
"It was hard though. She's your Mother. Standing up to her took courage so I'm proud of you"
"Thank you Jane"
"No problem baby"

Maura's cell rings a couple of hours later and when she clicks on the call she hears her fathers worried tone
"Maura? Honey? Your mother left me a note saying you in the hospital. Are you hurt? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Daddy. I am. I'm just visiting a friend. I'll come home and we can talk"
"Okay dear. Be safe"
"I will Daddy"
Maura disconnects the call and Jane takes her hand
"It'll be okay Maur. You be strong. Call me and let me know what happens, okay?"
"Okay. I love you"
"Love you too Maur"

"Daddy? I'm home" Maura shouted from the front door
Her father walked down the hall and wrapped the girl in a hug
"Hello dear. How are you?"
"I'm good Daddy. And you?"
"I'm excellent. Happy to see you Maura. So who's in the hospital?"
Maura nods "A friend of mine from school. She was hit by a car"
"Oh dear, I'm sorry. Is she okay?"
"She is. Thank God"
"I'm glad. Would you like some lunch?"
"Please. Could we talk Daddy?"
"If course baby. Everything okay?"
"Y-yeah.. I just wanted to tell you something.."
"Anything Maura"
"Okay, I-I.. Daddy, I'm gay"
Thomas looked back to Maura
"Thank you for telling me Maura. Can I ask you something?"
Maura nods
"This girl that was hit...Is she just a friend?"
"She is my girlfriend.." Maura says and Thomas nods
"Tell me about her" he says and Maura smiles
"You're okay with this?"
"Of course. Why wouldn't I be? You're my daughter Maura"
Maura has tears rolling down her cheeks "Thank you Daddy"
Thomas looks up to his daughter "Maura, sweetheart don't cry" Thomas said hugging the girl close "You're my girl Maura. I love you and want you to be happy. Maura, if girls make you happy, then thats okay with me"
Maura nods "Thank you"
"Its okay baby. Now, lets have some lunch, then I'll take you back to the hospital to see this girl"
"Thank you Daddy"

Maura walks into the hospital room, her Father in tow.
She sees Jane sitting up in bed talking to Angela.
Jane looks up and sees Maura
"Hey Maur" Jane smiles then she sees Thomas walking in.
Maura sits on Jane's bed and Jane looks up at her "Everything okay?"
Maura nods "Jane, this is my father, Thomas Isles. Daddy this is Jane Rizzoli, my girlfriend"
"Nice to meet you Jane" Thomas said shaking the girls hand.
Maura and Jane sit together and Angela talks to Thomas.
"So I take it went well?" Jane asks
Maura smiles "He said if girls makes me happy thats okay"
"I'm glad Maura, I really am"
"How are you feeling?"
"Not too bad, the doctors said I can go home tomorrow" Jane smiles
"Really? Thats great Jane!" Maura says kissing the girls cheek
"Yeah, I should be back in school next week"
"I'm glad honey" Maura smiles holding the girls hand
Jane yawns and Maura squeezes her hand "Sleep Jane. You must be extremely tired"
Jane nods "I'll talk to you later Maur"
"Sleep well Cara"
