After listening to everything Jane had to say Maura was starting to think it might be a good idea for Jane to get a head CT.
"Maura I assure you I don't have a head injury. I promise I am fine." Jane sighed patting the bed for Maura to sit closer.
Not wanting to hurt Jane anymore then she was Maura moved to the uninjured side and sat down.
"Listen Maura I have feelings for you and I don't mean your my best friend feelings either. I mean I am in love with you and have been for some time now I was just to damn stubborn or stupid to tell you." Jane confessed watching Maura run her fingers over her scared hand. Just like she always does.
"Jane you are not stupid a stubborn Italian yes. But defiantly not stupid." Maura smiled. "I love you to Jane probably from the first time I met you."
Jane laughed "You do realize the first time I met you I was dressed as a hooker right, Maura."
"Okay, so maybe the second time i met you. When you walked into my morgue and i realized you were a detective." Maura smiled at the memory. "I better go get everyone else you know their really worried about you."
"Fine but under one condition." Jane said not releasing Maura's hand.
"What's that Jane?" Maura.
"Be my girlfriend?" Jane asked shyly
Surprising the blonde how shy Jane was acting she leaned and kissed Jane's lips for the first time. "Of course Jane." Before Jane could react the blonde had walked out of the room.
Maura went down the hall to the waiting room and found everyone, but Frankie asleep he was sitting there holding an envelope. When Frankie spotted her he jumped out of his seat causing everyone else to stir. Stuffing the envelope back into his jacket.
"Everything OK Dr. Isles?" Angela asked seeing the blonde in the doorway.
"Everything great shes awake. She wants to see everyone." Maura replied watching everyone rush out of the waiting room and down the hall.
Had it not been so painful Jane would have laughed when three Tripoli's, Two detectives and a tired looking blonde came into the room. Smiling at every one of her family members and friends.
Jane's doctor walked in surprised to see Jane awake at all.
"Well detective how are we feeling?" He asked checking her vitals carefully.
"Great, Can I go home? Call it a Christmas gift." Jane was giving the doctor her sweetest smile while everyone else in the room tried not to laugh.
The young doctor smiled knowing exactly how Jane Rizzoli acted while she was stuck in a hospital bed. "I'll see what i can do, no promises. okay."
"What if i have a perfectly beautiful capable doctor taking care of me at home?" Jane asked.
"Well in that case i still have to run tests Detective." The doctor walked out of the room to order the necessary testing.
"You know Jane you can always just sign yourself out of this place." Tommy said just seconds before getting two slaps to the back of the head one from his mother the other from his brother. Smiling at the antics of the Rizzoli family that Maura has come to know and love she walked over and took Jane's hand again.
Korsak was the first to notice and smiled then slowly every other person in the room noticed the two women holding hands.
Angela was the only one to speak though. "It's about time you two did something about the way you both feel. For a detective and a genius your both pretty dumb not to notice sooner." Angela said before pulling Maura into a hug.
Jane looked at each of her brothers her mother and her partners and realized that they were more than a group of friends though they came from different backgrounds they were a family a special kind of family.
"Frankie how did you do on the detectives exam?" Jane asked looking at her younger brother.
"Jane, how did you know? I didn't tell anyone I was taking that." Frankie asked.
"I'm a detective now how did you do?" Jane smiled at her brother.
Frankie reached into his jacket and pulled out the envelope instead of opening it he handed it to Jane. "You do the honors sis."
Jane took the envelope into her hands and carefully opened it, pulled out the results so that no one could see them and looked at Frankie shaking her head.
"I want to know little brother how in the hell did you score better than me. I mean its only one percent but still its better." Jane smiled and handed him the results.
"For a second there i thought i failed the test. Be lucky you're in that bed otherwise i might have to put you there." Frankie treated all be it was with a smile.
"Tommy you need to find a better place to live yours really sucks. How long have you been without heat?" Jane asked.
"Only a few days, not like it matters now anyway since i walked out on my job i most likely was fired. Wait...How did you know i was without heat?" Tommy asked as a nurse walked into the room.
As the nurse pushed them out of the room Maura was realizing that what Jane had told her was making more and more sense. Before walking out of the room Korsak walked over and placed a small box in Jane's hands.
"Maybe if i had given that to you earlier you wouldn't have been hurt." The older detective said before leaving the room. The nurses started moving Jane's bed to take her for the testing she would need to see if she could go spend Christmas day with her family. Laying there holding onto the box that Korsak had handed, her knowing what was inside Jane opened and slipped the St. Micheal's medal around her neck and stared up at he ceiling waiting for her answer. The only place she really wanted to be was on Maura's couch with everyone around her.
"I wish i could just go home for Christmas." Jane said out loud without even realizing it.
Where she couldn't see was a young angel waiting on word about his wings. With a snap of his fingers he knew Jane's wish would come all be it really simple and not what he expected. All the same it was Christmas day and after all wishes are most powerful on Christmas day.
This is not the end not yet. There is some unfinished business here.
As always feel free to review good of bad i can take it. But remember i am still sick
