Jane and JJ

Jane woke with a sense of purpose, hell it was going to be a long day, she was pissed when Hotch had kept her away from the dump sites. Now she realised being on site at BPD headquarters, meant not only would she be able to get the victims IDs first, interview any family and be able to keep an eye on Maura and Emily.

She arrived at the same time as the black SUV arrived with Hotch, Reid, Garcia and JJ. With the same sense of purpose she made a beeline for JJ. "Agent Jareau, ready for the day," The blonde who Jane admitted in her head was gorgeous, looked like shit, her eyes were swollen and red, like she had cried all night, looks like Frankie was on the button.

"Please call me JJ, Detective,"

"Only if you call me Jane. You can talk me through what you do?"

Hotch was more than a little surprised by the change of attitude by the brunette, he was sure there would be problems with her this morning. He decided to go with it for now, he was worried about JJ. In hindsight he wondered if he should have kept Emily with the team. He could never define their relationship, at times he had worried that they were lovers but after JJ was kidnapped, Emily had been the one to save her life, they had drifted instead of getting closer. He shook his head, he needed to concentrate on what he was doing.

"Do you want a coffee?" Jane asked. "Not being funny, but you look like shit."

"Jeez thanks, you don't look exactly great yourself detective, I know you have a problem with us..."

"JJ no, I've got a big mouth," she pulled the smaller woman to a stop. "We both know why we look like shit."

"Yeah, we have an unsub who..."

"Come on JJ, we could lose them if we pretend nothing is happening. Maura told me she never had a friend before. I know she was with a girl at school..."

"Em...it doesn't matter... we can't." JJ wouldn't look at Jane.

"You can't what love her, sleep with her what? What can't you do JJ?" Jane demanded.

"I've slept with... I... we aren't allowed to date, it's against the rules." JJ had to fight the tears she had been shedding most of the night.

"Do you love her?" Jane asked gently.

"Yes," admitted JJ. "We pretend we don't... I was kidnapped and tortured a month ago, she found me, saved my life. She told me she was fed up with the lies, she loved me... I ran. We have cordial been around the office, but I've fucked it up Jane." JJ wasn't sure why she was pouring her heart out to the detective she hardly knew when she wouldn't even talk to Garcia about this.

"No, we will get them back... you know... I've never been with Maura, I've wanted her for so long. You are one step ahead of me at least you know your woman wants you, look we should move before someone over hears us," Jane realising that they were in the middle of BPD parking lot . "Lets go pick up a coffee."

Jane went to a table in the far corner and was pleased that Stanley was on the counter, she wasn't up to her mother right now, that lasted about 30 seconds.

"Janie." Angela shouted, bustling towards her daughter.

"Oh god JJ I apologise right now, that's my ma running at us."

"I have pepper sprayed one of the agents..."

"Ma, how..."

"She was in Maura's kitchen, I thought it was you and she turned around and she pulled a gun so sprayed her in the face..."

"She pulled a gun." Jane felt her tempe rise, ready to go after Prentiss.

"Well not exactly, she went to her holster, her gun was in the gun safe Maura fitted for you."

"Is she okay?" JJ, had been forgotten about in the usual Rizzoli family drama.

"Dr Isles is cleaning her eyes in the morgue, she didn't want to go to hospital..."

"I've got to see her, the morgue is in the basement here, yeah."

"JJ don't..." Jane shouted after the blonde who was already at the elevator.

"Whose that?" Angela registering for the first time that the her daughter wasn't on her own.

"The agent I'm supposed to be working with. How was Maura?" Jane tried to keep the question light.

"Worried about her friend, she still gave me a ride to work, but she wasn't very happy with me. Did you know she had a friend in the F.B.I?"

"No ma, I also didn't know they went to school together, that she thought her friend was dead for 9 months and that their mother's are friends, who love to discuss how Prentiss messed, whatever they had together, up. Satisfied ma, anything else you want to know?"Jane knew she was being unreasonable, but she was hurting and afraid that she had lost her chance with JJ to put everything right.

"Oh Janie, everyone knows you and Maura love one another, you have to tell her," Angela had wondered when her daughter would wake up to the fact the M.E. was in love with her and vise versa, maybe a bit of jealousy wasn't a bad thing if it got Jane to realise what she could lose.

JJ found Spence in the lab talking to one of the scientists. "Hey, JJ have you found something already? Senior Criminalist Chang was just..."

"Is Emily okay?"

"Dr Isles is washing her eyes out in the morgue," Spencer answered.

"Do you know how creepy that sounds?' JJ asked, Spence gave her a surprised look.

JJ walked past, but stopped to listen to Emily and the Doctor talking.

"Are you sure you shouldn't go to hospital?" Maura asked again, concern etched on her face. She had stopped Angela trying to clean her eyes out with water, instead had used milk to get the oil off Emily's face and used a detergent at the morgue sink to finish it off.

"I've had worse Maura..."

"You are just like Jane, the amount of times I have to stitch her up," the M.E carried on in a quieter voice. "I know you had worse, you...I thought you died in Boston. I was breaking my heart..I thought you were going to be on my table..."

"Maura," said Emily, her hands on the M.E.'s shoulder. "I was unconscious when they made the decision. Life was so hard...if it wasn't for JJ. Afterwards we played scrabble online it was the only contact I had, I wandered about Europe the on my own."

"I read what I thought was your autopsy report, after hating the thought of you being on my table...I wanted to look after you, I hated the fact that was taken from me. Were the injuries real?"

Emily nodded, Lauren still loomed over her life, she had hurt so many people.

"How...how are you even alive?" Maura tried to stop the tears coming.

"Sometimes I don't know I am... the only friends I have are in my team. I had to protect them."

"You don't have to tell me how bad the Doyle's are, I am one, remember. I have the DNA..."

"Same old Maura, you can't put life in a test tube, you're one of the most gentle souls I have ever met."

"You should hate me." Maura said, clinging to Emily's out reached arms.

"I did... I really did and I never really moved on, until, there is... was someone, but she doesn't love me."

"I'm the same except, my feelings are for my very straight best friend... she does love me, just not in the way I want..."

Emily started to laugh. "Rizzoli? How blind are you Maura, she wanted to rip my eyes out. My old friend she wants you; badly."

JJ backed away quietly, she had something to report back to Jane.
