"So, Maura what did you think of a Rizzoli family Christmas?" Jane asked as Maura shut everything but the TV and the tree off to stare at the lights. It's a wonderful life was playing it was close to the end and that was Jane's favorite part when everyone in town came to help out the George Bailey.

"Well Jane I can officially say I can't wait to have many many more. I never really had much of a Christmas as a kid it was always spent with a nanny or someone else while my parents did Christmas parties or were out of town." the blonde sighed sadly.

"Well, as long as you are with the Tripoli's your holiday's will never be boring again. I mean it we are either having food fights or watching movies. Plus it will be great to have a doctor at the fourth of July party last year Frankie lost his eyebrows and Tommy almost lost his hand." Jane smiled wrapping her arms around the blonde.

"Your mother is in one of the guest room. You want to sleep in the other one or would you rather just have one of our normal sleep-overs?" Maura asked standing up to go to bed.

"Why, Dr. Isles are you trying to get me in bed already." Jane smirked she couldn't resist teasing Maura it was just the way they were always teasing each other. Okay so it was mostly Jane teasing Maura but it worked for them always has.

"No, Jane if you remember correctly I have had you in my bed a few time." Maura teased back shocking Jane. Jane laughed and pulled Maura down toward her so she could kiss her check. "Why don't you go ahead I will be there in a minute I promise I just want to stare at this tree a little more."

Maura nodded her head understanding that Jane just wanted a little alone time. "Call me if you need help up the stairs." Maura said before walking away leaving the brunette sitting on the couch.

Smiling Jane looked down at her hands seeing the scars she knew the advise she was giving was true her family and friends didn't truly see them. They knew they were there and that sometimes they bothered Jane but that was it. They didn't make Jane the person she was they made her strong more confidante

Jane sat there for a time just watching the lights on the tree thinking to herself. This Christmas she truly had it all. She was alive and in love. She had her friends and family near by. There was nothing on earth that could make this Christmas any better. Well maybe someday having a kid would be nice.

Jane thought remembering what Michael had said about becoming a guardian angel. Jane finally remembering what her grandmother would say about Guardian angels that they were always there to watch over the babies of the house. Jane finally realized what Michael was saying that even though she may never see him again she knew he was going to be there in the future.

Jane glanced at the TV in time to catch the end of the movie. When the littlest Bailey was telling everyone 'Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.' Jane smiled at that and wondered if it really was true.

Shutting off the TV and carefully standing up Jane moved over to the window to see the fresh undisturbed snow on the ground another one of her favorite things about winter is seeing untouched snow just laying there. Jane glanced at her watch 11:59 another minute and Christmas would be over. He did it. Michael had given Jane almost everything she every wanted.

As she went to turn away from the window Jane heard a church bell somewhere in the distance start to ring. A sudden feeling came over the detective. Shaking it off as being exhausted and slightly sore from the past few days Jane walked back over toward the couch to fold the blanket she had been using. As she picked up the blanket a pure white feather fell out of it and fluttered to the ground. Carefully Jane bent and picked it up staring at it she knew that Maura didn't have any pillows with feathers because of her allergies.

Jane realized Michael had gotten his wings with a tear in her eye she carefully ran her fingers over the feather. Walking over to the bookcase in she pulled out the first book she could. It turned out to be Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol. With a smile and a happy tear Jane placed the feather into book knowing exacting where it had come from. Jane folded her blanket and walked upstairs leaving the lights on, on the tree.

Standing in the kitchen were Michael and Alexander. Alexander was proud of Michael he had received his wings faster then he had. Michael was looking at his left wing.

"No, Michael you can't tell your missing a feather. You know its good luck when an angel gives someone a feather from their own wings, and that you are only allowed to give one, feather on Christmas once a year." Alexander said looking at the younger angel and his new set of wings.

"I couldn't think of a better person to give one to could you, sir?" Michael asked. Smiling at the older angel though he no longer had to call him sir he still would out of respect.

"No, I guess your right Michael. You did a wonderful job with her." Alexander said.

"Sorry to say sir she did most of the work. I just watched. Even if I didn't get my wings I would still be proud to have helped Jane." Michael said.

"Spoken like a true angel. I just hope your ready for next year when you come back in time for another Rizzoli Christmas." Alexander replied.

"Sir?" Michael asked.

"Well, you Michael your next assignment isn't born yet. But will be here in time for Christmas next year." Alexander spoke.

"Am I allowed to know who's baby sir?" Michael asked nicely.

"That part of the story has yet to be written Michael, but it will be in the mean time let's head home shall we." the two angels faded into the night.

I know it's not the best thing ever written, but I liked and I honestly hope you did to. I may write a second part for next Christmas. Anyway I was trying to get a small message across that Christmas is not all about the gifts I know everyone says the same old thing. But take it from someone who knows I spent a few Christmas' where I got nothing but what I needed like socks or a coat, new shoes. Times were hard when I was younger. This Christmas my nephew he's 18 now and a full firefighter, leaves for basic training next fall. Well first he asked for an ipad and a new cell phone then a few days later he called everyone and the only thing he truly really wants this year is for his entire family to be together. So tomorrow we are all having dinner at mom's each of us is either bringing a dish or helping cook at the house. No one wants to think that this maybe the last one for all of us to be together. Sorry I'm rambling anyway. What I mean is enjoy the simple things. Instead of that new phone or computer wish to see someone you miss. Or help a charity. Enjoy what you have and not what you can get. I know there are those who don't believe in Angels but I do and I hope I will always have one looking over my shoulder. So Merry Christmas and Happy New Year one and all. May all your Christmas wishes and dreams come true this year.

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