A day or so later Victor waited until Maura was alone before he walked up to her. "Maura.. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you or accuse you of anything. Baby please forgive me. I'll do anything to make it up to you. Please." He was totally sincere at this moment. "I'm sorry." He kept saying. "Please don't leave me." He had tears in his eyes threatening to escape.

Maura looked at him, she had backed up into a corner when he came into the office. "Victor, you never mean to hurt me. You never mean to do this. But you always do. How can I know that I'm safe with you?"

"Maura I already threw out the liquor in the house. I promise you that Im going to stop drinking. I promise Im going to be the man you and Conner need in your lives." He let a tear fall. "Please babe give me One more chance."

"You stay away from Jane. Don't you touch her, don't you hurt her. And then and only then I will come home."

"You have my word..." Vic came up to her slowly. "Thank you. I do love you Maura. So much."

Maura was shaking as he embraced her. "Oook..." was all she could say. She was scared. When he left, she went up to Jane's crying. "I'm sorry baby... I have to go back. I have to protect you. He'll come after you if I don't go back and I can't risk that!"

Jane looked up at Maura and just sat there. She didnt know what to say for a moment. "So you're tellin me that you're going to risk getting beat up again Or worse and who knows maybe Conner will witness it and then Vic goes after him. You are safer with me Maura but whatever. Do what you want." She turned back to her computer.

Maura's heart broke as Jane clearly gave up on her. "Give up on me then Jane... I totally understand why." She left and went home to Victor that afternoon where he proceeded to tell her they were moving back to San Fransisco immediately. She could call her office and tender her resignation on the way to the airport.

As they drove to the airport, she texted Jane. He's taking us to San Fransisco. We're on our way to the Airport now. I won't be a problem for you anymore Jane. I will love you for the rest of my life.

I'm sorry you hate me because I couldn't risk him hurting you. I never said I was going back forever. Just long enough to figure out how to get away for good. But now, it doesn't matter. I've lost you. Be happy my friend...

Conner was crying in the back seat screaming that he didn't want to leave Aunti Jane.

When Jane got the text she was at a crime scene looking at the text her heart fell. "Korsak! I gotta go. I can't explain." SHe busted out of the house and into her car. She wasn't about to give up on Maura and let her go with that psychopath. She sped with her lights on the cruiser and skidded to a hault. She ran into the airport and went up to the desk. "The flight to San Fransisco! Please tell me it hasn't left yet!" The lady behind the counter looked at her. "I'm sorry, miss. It took off about five minutes ago." Jane's heart shattered. "No...NOO!" She stood there looking around, trying to think of what she could do. Nothing. There was nothing she could do now.

Taking out her cell she called Maura's number only to get the voice mail. "Maura..I love you. I came to the airport hoping to stop you from leaving. I was too late. I didn't give up on you, Maur. I would never give up on you." She sniffed, clearly holding back tears as she stood outside the airport. "Please tell Conner I love him." Jane's voice cracked then hung up.

She then called her brother. "Tommy. I need you. Meet me at my place."

Maura cried as she and Conner got on the plane with Victor. Maura was leaving the only person she loved in this world and he had taken her away.

Maura got the voicemail when she got on the plane so she texted Jane. I'm so sorry...

Tommy was waiting for Jane when she got back to her place."What's up sis? What can I do?"

Jane looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Tommy... She's gone. Victor took her and Conner to San Fransisco. I love her. What do I do? She's with a husband that beats her up. Its only a matter of time before he gets to that little boy too." Tears were now streaming

Tommy hugged his sister and sighed."go get her. Get her outta there. Bring her home, marry her, love her do whatever you gotta do. Abusers end their string of violence with one thing... killing their victim."

Jane nodded her head as she hugged him back. "Tell Frankie to tell work okay. Thank you and take care Jo while Im gone." She kissed his cheek then grabbed her stuff and left. Jane booked a flight to leave in a couple hours. She texted Maura. 'Where r u stayin?'

Maura got the text and was shocked."we are at Victors house from when we lived here before. Why?"

'ull c. Address?' She replied

Maura sighed."1329 Prescott street but Jane please be careful whatever you're up to. I can't bare something happening to you."

"just sendin u flowers, dear"

The moment Jane landed she went to the address and sat in wait for a long time before Vic actually left the house. The detective made her way inside the dark house. It was night time so her cover was protected. Finding Maura in the bed she crawled in next to her. Gently kissing the other woman she spoke. "Baby..wake up."

Maura sighed."yeah baby ok."

When Maura went to bed she hadn't expected to feel Jane not long after. She rolled over and looked up at her."what are you doing here? Oh my god!" She sat up and threw her arms around the taller woman."I miss you so much. I love you Jane, please tell me you know that! I know you hate me but I thought I was protecting you."

Jane hugged her back tightly. "You were but now its time for me to protect you. Im getting you and your son out of here. We dont have much time."

"No. I would say your time is up Rizzoli." Hearing that voice Jane stood proud and ready to pounce.

"Your days of hurting Maura are over."

Maura's heart fell when she heard Victor come back."Victor you promised me. Don't touch her!" Maura got brave cause she jumped in front of Jane."Don't you touch her."

Jane gently put her hands on Maura's shoulders. Victor looked at Maura. "Move bitch or I'll go through you."

Jane pulled her gun and stood between him and Maura. "Babe go get Conner. I rented a red car its out front." She handed her the keys. Im coming with ya." She said as she aimed it at Vic

Maura started to run past Victor but he moved toward her and she jumped."Victor No! Please just let us go!"

Jane made sure to have a silencer on her gun so if she had to shoot it wouldnt scare Conner. She fired and it hit the wall in front of his face. "Let her leave or the next time I wont miss."

He backed off and let Maura go, she ran for Conners room and packed him up."c'Mon baby boy, we're going home." She rushed out to the car and got him in safely than sat on the hood of the car waiting for Jane.

Victor looked at her."What are you going to do Jane? She is mine and so is that little boy. You can't take what's mine"

Jane shook her head. "She hasnt been yours since the first time you hit her. Im taking her home where she is safe and loved. If you set foot in Boston I will have you arrested." She said with a glare as she slowly moved around him.

Victor watched as Jane Rizzoli slowly took everything that was his. He did nothing because he knew Maura didn't want to be with him. Since they had left Boston she had been lethargic, distant and sad. She was a different woman the moment Jane climbed in that bed and he saw it. What Jane and Maura wouldn't take from him is his son. Corner was his and no one else's.

When Maura saw Jane come out of the house she ran into her arms."I love you with all my heart. And I swear to you, I'm never leaving you again!" Maura leaned up and she kissed Jane with all the fire and Passion she could muster.

Jane knew it was not the end and part of that scared the shit out of her but what mattered was that they were safe for the time being. She kissed her back deeply and smiled. "You better not that flight was an expensive trip I dont want to make again." She got them to a hotel room for the night. Thier trip back was later the next afternoon.

Maura happily cuddled in her arms that night. Conner slept in the bed across from them. Maura laid her head on Janes chest and tightly wrapped her arms around her."thank you for saving me and him... thank you for loving me enough."

"I would do it again in a heartbeat. Abusers only get worse. They dont stop until they kill the victim. I couldnt bare to let that happen Maur. I love you and that little boy far too much."

Maura leaned up and kissed her hard again. "You are my hero. I love you Jane. Please don't ever let me leave again"

"Oh believe me I'm not. And I didn't give up on you. I was just pissed that you didn't think I could protect you and Conner and you went back to that asshole."

"I knew you could protect me Jane. I never doubted that baby. But I couldn't risk you getting hurt in order to protect me!"

"I know that now." She kissed her head. "Let's get some sleep." Jane held her and snuggled

Maura nodded and laid back, relaxing against her."I love you" she whispered before falling asleep and sleeping sounder than she had in weeks.

Jane didn't sleep much. She was worried Vic would find them. In the middle of the night Conner woke up scared. Jane sat up and calmed him down and then got him to come lay with her and Maura. Jane stayed awake holding the both of them.

When Maura woke up the next day she smiled down at Jane and Conner." It wasn't a dream..."

Jane smiled up at her with tired eyes. "It sure wasn't." She smiled. "We're going home today and I'm going to stay with you for as long as it takes." She kissed Maura lightly. " Maura... Why didn't you tell me? I thought you two were happy."

Maura sighed."I was embarrassed. And Jane... I want you to stay for good."

"You know you don't have to be embarrassed around me." She smiled. "I tell you what. You divorce Vic and... I'll marry you and adopt Conner. That way he wont have power over you or him anymore."

Maura looked at her. "Really baby? You'd marry me?" She smiled as she stayed snuggled against her."You would adopt Conner?"

Jane smiled. "I sure would.. I already consider you two my family. I love you that much."

Maura smiled as she took Jane's hand."I love you too... more than anything. You are the love of my life Jane Rizzoli."

Jane smiled and kissed her softly. Conner woke up and witnessed them kissing for the first time. He gasped in happiness. "Aunti Jane you be Mommy Jane now!" He asked excitedly.

Jane looked over at him and grinned. "Would you like that?"

Maura smiled at his excitement."Yeahhh mommy Jane!"

Maura looked up at Jane."I want you to be mommy Jane too and wifey Jane."

"The sooner you get divorced the sooner that can happen." She smiled and laid back down.

Conner rested his head on her chest. "Mommy Jane didn't go night night."

Maura looked at Jane. "Baby you need to sleep. How about I hold you for a change."

Jane looked at her with a yawn. "I'll sleep on the plane. But you can definitely hold me." She was still worried about Vic finding them and didn't want to sleep until she knew they were safe.

Maura nodded and took her lover in her arms."I've got you babe."

Maura smiled and kissed the top of her head. "Rest my guardian angel."
