Jane walked into Biology and saw Maura sitting down the back of the class.
She walked down to the girl and noticed she had tears in her eyes
"Maur? Sweetheart? Whats wrong?"
Maura blinks the tears from her eyes "Hi Jane"
"Stop ignoring my question Maur"
"Can we go to the bathroom?"
Jane nods and walks up to the teacher, explaining that Maura was upset
The teacher nodded and let Jane go with the girl.
They walk into the bathroom and Maura pulls Jane close to her
"Mom's dying Jane"
Jane pulls away and meets Maura's eyes "W-what?"
"Cancer. S-she told me last night"
"Oh Maura, I'm so sorry" Jane says holding the girl "What's going to happen?"
"She said she'd talk to me properly after she talks to the doctor.."
"Oh baby. I'm so sorry"
Maura cries into Jane and Jane wipes her tears
"Here, how about we leave here, we'll get lunch and then we'll go shopping for something for your Mom?"
Maura gives Jane a watery smile "I'd enjoy that"
Jane takes the girls hand "Good. Lets go, sweetheart"

"Jane I don't think thats Mom's taste" Maura smiles as Jane holds up the singing coffee mug
"There is a singing wine glass if that'd be better?" Jane said seriously
Maura laughed "I think I'll stick with jewellery Jane"
"Fine... She'd love the coffee mug though"

"Woah! Maura! That costs half a million dollars.." Jane says in disbelief
Maura nods "Isn't it beautiful though?" Maura holds up the golden chain with small heart fastened at the end, a diamond at the centre of it.
"I have to agree, it is gorgeous"
"I'll take it" Maura smiles to the clerk, as she hands in her credit card, who smiles back and gift wraps the chain.
Jane holds Maura's hand as they walk out the door of the store "She'll love it Maur"
Maura nods "I hope so"
"She will"

Maura walks in the door to the home greeted by Constance who smiled at her
"Hello Dear. Where's Jane?"
"She needed to go home. Angela needed her for something"
Constance nodded "That makes sense, between the hospital and here Angela must never see her"
"Thats true. Here," Maura said handing Constance the gift wrapped box "we went shopping today, I picked this up for you"
Constance unwrapped the box and when she opened it tears sprang to her eyes "Oh Maura. This must've cost you a fortune"
"It was worth it" Maura replied as Constance fastened the necklace on her neck
"Dear, you shouldn't have spent so much on me. Really, I'm alright"
Maura nods "I know, I just wanted to get it Mom"
"Thank you Maura. Its beautiful"
Constance kisses the girls cheek and Maura wraps her in a hug
They stood like that just content in each others company.
"I love you Maura"
"Love you too Mom"
xx
"I got you a present" Maura smiled handing Jane the wrapped box the next day in school
Jane looked at the box "Can I open it here?"
"Of course" Maura smiles as Jane tears the paper off
Jane laughs hysterically as she holds up the box containing the singing coffee cup Jane had shown her the previous evening
"You actually bought this?"
"I did. You obviously liked it" Maura laughed and Jane put the box into her school bag and kissed the girl
"Thank you"
"No problem Jay" Maura smiled
"Did you give your Mom the necklace?"
Maura nodded "Yep, she loved it. Thank you for taking me shopping yesterday Jane, It really helped"
Jane nodded and took the girls hand "No problem Maur. I'm just glad it helped babe. Now we should get to class"
"Okay" Maura smiled grabbing her bag and they walked to class together.
They truly were a great pair.
