That night Jane and Maura sat down for dinner, when Jane had returned home from her run she headed straight for a shower avoiding Maura. For the rest of the day Jane had hardly spoken to her friend which made Maura feel bad, she couldn't help thinking she had done something wrong.

"You're very quiet today Jane" Maura spoke sitting opposite her friend at the dinner table.

Jane shrugged not looking at Maura. "Headache, that's all"
"You had a headache yesterday"
"Yeah and it's come back" Jane almost shouted in defense before standing up and taking her plate into the kitchen. "I'm going to take a nap" Before Maura could answer Jane was halfway up the stairs. Sighing to herself she took her plate into the kitchen and started washing up. Stop reading into it Maura maybe she has got a headache, she might be feeling under the weather. It's understandable after the two cases we have just solved.

The next day Maura was awoken by a call from BPD. The night before she hadn't seen Jane after dinner. After hanging up she rolled out of bed before heading into the en suit for a wash before getting dressed for the day. Wearing a black skirt which stopped just above her knees and a red button up Maura headed downstairs. Looking around she couldn't see Jane. Still asleep probably, doesn't surprise me. After making herself a coffee she didn't see the point in waiting for Jane so she headed to the crime scene.

After ten minutes of been there Jane arrived. Pulling her gloves on she headed over to Maura, Korsak and the body. "What have we got" Jane asked kneeling down opposite Maura.

"White male, approximately early 30's, No ID. Strangulation, and what seems to be a blunt force trauma to the back of the head" Maura answered before standing up and directing her team to bag the body to take back to the morgue.

"Nice" Jane said following Maura and Korsak to their cars. "I'll see you back at the office" Jane said to Korsak before walking to her car and driving off.

"What's with her" Korsak asked turning to Maura.
"Your guess is as good as mine sergeant"

An hour after arriving at BPD they had found out who the guy was. "Micheal Pierce 35, originally from Australia, moved over here two years ago" Jane said placing the file down on Korsak's desk.

"Do we know why he moved over here" Korsak asked removing his glasses and looking up at his partner sat across the room.
"Apparently some big job apprenticeship. I spoke to his boss, he said he hadn't been at work for almost a week, said he called in sick"

"Hey Korsak, Maura's texted, tox screens are in, do you mind going down to get them"

"Why can't you go?" Korsak asked intrigued.
"Headache, and I've just sat down"

"Huh" Korsak answered before heading down to the morgue.

"Korsak, what a surprise" Maura said smiling from behind her desk.
"Jane sent me down"
"She didn't want to come herself?" Maura asked standing up with the file.

"Said she has a headache and she had just sat down"
"A headache?" Maura asked raising her eyebrows

"Beats me"

"I'll bring them up myself" Maura said before following Korsak upstairs.

Maura walked over to Jane's desk with the file in hand. "Did you know migraine headaches are a type of headache that causes moderate to severe pain that is worsened by light, noise, and motion. Some people also experience nausea and vomiting. Migraine headaches typically last for a few hours, but may last for as long as three days. Cluster headaches are severe, debilitating headaches that occur repeatedly for weeks to months at a time, followed by periods with no headache. Cluster headaches are relatively uncommon, affecting less than one percent of people. Men are affected more commonly than women, with a peak age of onset of 25 to 50 years. Then there are chronic daily headaches, some people develop very frequent headaches, as frequent as every day in some cases. When a headache is present for more than 15 days per month for at least three months, it is described as a chronic daily headache. Chronic daily headache is not a type of headache but a category that includes frequent headaches of various kinds. Most people with chronic daily headache have migraine or tension-type headache as the underlying type of headache. They often start out having an occasional migraine or tension-type headache, but the headaches became more frequent over months or years." Maura said suddenly spouting out facts.

"What is your point" Jane asked looking up at Maura
Maura slammed the file down on Jane's desk before putting her hands on her hips. "You've been ignoring me, why?" Maura asked cross

"I..haven't"
"Yes you have Jane...we need to talk"
"Well I'm in the middle of a case right now and unless you have a full autopsy report you should get back to doing that" Jane shot back before turning back to her computer typing.

Giving up Maura headed back down to the morgue.

That night Jane and Maura arrived home at different times. Grabbing a glass of wine Maura headed into the living room and took a seat on the couch next to Jane. "We need to talk"
"Maura.."
"No Jane...I know why you've been avoiding me. I'm sorry, about the other night it was a heat of the moment thing, I guess we should thank Susie for texting me otherwise things would be complicated. I'm sorry for making you feel awkward and like you couldn't speak to me."

"It's fine Maura honestly" Jane said smiling before turning her attention back to the TV. Yeup she deffo didn't want it to happen Jane might as well get over her now.

A month had gone past and Jane and Maura were back to their usual selves. Christmas was two days away and they had agreed that the Rizzoli family would celebrate Christmas with Maura. So that night Tommy, Lydia and TJ arrived. Maura said they were more than welcome to stay in the guest house with Angela. Angela couldn't be happier, all three of her children were together for Christmas again, plus Jane would be happy that Maura was with them. The next day everyone started putting the presents under the white Christmas tree that Jane and Maura had decorated. Later that evening Angela had cooked everyone dinner and they all sat around the table enjoying it together.

"I just want to say how happy I am that the whole family is together and that Maura is with us celebrating. Because you are part of the family Maura"
"Thankyou Angela, it means a lot. I'm happy to be able to host Christmas this year and I couldn't think of a better group of people to share it with" Maura answered smiling.

God that smile, she's so beautiful. Knock it off Jane you have company...she just see's you as a friend, she made that clear. Shaking herself out of her thoughts Jane returned to eating her dinner.
