An hour later and as many tests as he could run the doctor realized he had no reason to keep Jane in the hospital she was going home for Christmas. She would spend the day with her friends and family. As soon as Angela had heard that she dragged poor Tommy and Frankie out of the hospital to go start making dinner and getting Maura's house ready hopefully before the rest of them got there. Jane was laying in bed in the hospital room waiting for Maura to return from talking to the doctor about after care She was only out in the hall.

"Hello, Jane" Jane was startled, but not to much it was a voice she has heard before. She turned her heard to see Michael standing by the windows.

"Get your wings yet Angel boy?" Jane smiled

"I don't know, as is turns out my job isn't done just yet. Plus the higher ups are still voting I am not the only angel who was trying to get their wings today. I knew this was the last time I would get to see you alone because you are the only one who can see me. I don't think you want anyone thinking you are more crazy then you already are." Michael smiled.

"Smart-ass." Jane mumbled wondering if the angel had spent to much time with her. "So what else are you suppose to do?" Jane moved slightly and felt a sharp pain in her side that made her cringe.

"Make sure you make it home safely. I also found out what my next assignment is if they give me my wings" Michael said walking around Jane's bed and placing a hand on her wound. "I can't heal you, but I can take the pain away."

"Thank you." Jane sighed as most of the pain left her side.

"As for my next assignment I will be a guardian angel. Let's just say I will be around next Christmas to watch over someone else in your family. Don't ask I can't say anymore." Michael said.

"What happens if you don't get your wings?" Jane asked as she heard Maura's voice she was still talking with the doctor out in the hall.

"Well then I get to spend next Christmas helping another person like I helped you." Michael said.

"What about the next assignment?" Jane asked again.

"Well with the assignment that it is, it will either go to another angel or be held a till I gain my wings.." Michael said.

"What kind of assignment can it be if it can be held like that?" Jane asked sitting up.

"It is the kind of job that will last for years its the best job an angel can have really I am to become a guardian angel. I will spend years watching over yo...a soul that has yet to be born. I should go but know that I will be with you till you are safe at home." Michael disappeared as Maura walked into the room.

"Okay, Jane lets get you dressed and ready to head to my place. Your going to stay there til your healed weather or not you like it." Maura commented. "Don't worry Jo is already there and your mom is making the traditional Christmas eve dinner. So we can all relax and watch baseball or is it football this time of year?"

"It's football Maura, and I rather watch its a wonderful life. For some odd reason I want to see that movie again." Jane said as Maura helped her slip into a pair of pants. A nurse walked in with a wheel chair and for the first time in her life Jane didn't fight it she just sat down.

"How's the pain, Jane?" Maura asked carrying Jane's bag of cloths.

"Better then you would think Maura. Come on lets go home and have some cookies ma is probably already baking. Nice and hot out of the oven." Jane smiled.

"Lucky you detective have a wonderful Christmas." The nurse smiled at Jane as she helped her into Maura's car.

"It must really suck to be working today." Jane commented.

"No, not this Christmas. My family is grown and they all live in different places this year so I figured why spend it alone when there are people stuck in the hospital alone this year. Right now I am heading to the children s wing. Santa's suppose to be there handing out gifts to the little ones that just seemed to show up out of nowhere late last night and I want to help. So, you go home and spend as much time with your family as you can because you never know where you will be next year." The nurse said as she closed the door and walked back into the hospital.

"So tell me Maura how many gifts did you buy?" Jane asked looking at the blonde and taking her hand she knew Maura hated Christmas as a kid and as probably the one who bought those gifts or sent someone out to it.

"I have no idea what you are talking about, Jane." The blonde smiled she has every year bought presents for the kids stuck in hospitals for the holiday, but would never claim to being the one who did it anyway this year she didn't have time so she sent out the lab techs to do it.

"you know Maura this is technically our first Christmas together." Jane remarked.

"I know Jane. Do you realize you called my house home earlier? I mean when you were talking to that nurse." Maura stopping at a red light.

"Maura there hasn't been one day that I haven't called your house home. I mean home is where your heart is, where the ones you love are. That place is your house." Jane kissed Maura's hand that she was holding seeing the blonde on the verge of tears.

Jane spun in her seat looking at the back seat.

"What's wrong Jane?" Maura asked watching the brunette.

"Nothing just thought I seen something in the back seat that's all." Jane said knowing it was Michael.

They arrived at Maura's house a few minutes later and noticed that everyone was in the driveway waiting for them the guys were throwing snowballs at each other while Angela watched from the steps. Smiling at the antics of their friends and family the two women stepped out of the car. Tommy stood near Maura in case she slipped and Frankie helped Jane.

"Frankie quick hand me a snowball." Jane said while Maura's back was turned

"Jane's that's probably not a great idea." Frankie said looking at his sister after glaring at him a few seconds he reached down and made her a snowball handing it to her flashing a smile before he spoke again. "Better not be for me or I an knocking your ass into a snowbank."

Jane turned around holding on to Frankie with one hand she threw the snowball hitting Maura right in the shoulder. When she turned around Jane was laughing so hard she was almost doubled over from pain but still couldn't stop laughing at the look the blonde had given her.

Tommy thought quick and handed Maura her own 'weapon' But the blonde's aim wasn't that great she ended up hitting Frankie right no top of his hair an inch higher and she would have missed him completely, causing Jane to laugh again. Frost and Korsak joined in on the laughter while Frankie whipped the snow off his hair. Angela decided to put a stop to it before anyone ended really hurt.

"Okay children that's enough now if you all head into the house. I just might give you hot chocolate and cookies." Angela said opening the door. Letting a happy Jo Friday who ran around everyone legs. Korsak reached down and picked up the puppy and continued into the house.

Frankie helped Jane get settled on the couch while Maura went to change and everyone else went in search of fresh baked cookies. Jane sat looking at the tree and noticed an one ordiment didnt quite look like the others carefully getting up she went over to check it out. When Maura walked over and asked what she was doing she pointed to it. "I know most of these are from when I was a kid and growing up. But I never seen this one before. Is it yours."

"No, Jane it has to be from someone in your family because I don't have ornaments in my house well that are my own anyway." Maura replied handed Jane hot chocolate and a plate of cookies.

"Hey, Ma did you buy a new ornaments this year? I have never seen this Angel one before." Jane asked while still looking at the little angel ornament hanging on the tree.

"No Jane I found it on the kitchen counter so I assumed it was Maura's and hung it up." Angela Rizzoli yelled from the kitchen as she took another batch of sugar cookies out of the oven.

Shrugging her shoulders Jane sat down with the rest of the family. They spent the day eating and watching movies, opening gifts and having wrapping paper fights. Till they could have their official snowball fight.

Everyone had decided to stay that night Frost and Korsak went and grabbed their bags from the cars and headed to the guest house after saying goodnight. Frankie Tommy Angela and Maura made sure everything was clean in the main house before Angela sent the boys off to bed for acting like children. Angela then kissed Jane and Maura cheeks and headed to bed herself it had been an exhausting couple of days.

I had to split this chapter into two because I got a little carried away, but I made a promise and I kept that promise that it would be done in time for Christmas.

As always feel free to review good or bad I can take it
