Sorry for the delay. Hope you like the chapter. Again thank you for the kind words
Jane was abruptly woken up by the annoying noise escaping from her alarm clock. She rolled over hitting the snooze button. She rolled onto her back rubbing her eyes of sleep. A smile crept across the detective's lips thinking of the night she had shared with the blonde doctor. With her eyes closed, she rolled onto her right, extending her arm to wrap around the woman she spent the night with. Instead of toughing the warm skin of her lover, she was met with cold emptiness. Jane's eyes shot open finding a note on the pillow where the blonde was supposed to be.
Jane reached for the note. Her face was burning as anger started running through her body. A NOTE ran through her head. When she read the words on the page the smile returned to her face, as the anger disappeared.
Jane,
I didn't want to wake you up this morning. You looked so peaceful. I could've watched you sleep all day. However as we discussed previously I was returning to work today. I set your alarm so you wouldn't miss your PT appointment. I know you have a habit of hitting the snooze button a lot, so I set it an hour before you actually have to get up. I brought Bass with me to work so you won't have to worry about watching where you walk. Don't forget to take your medicine before you leave. I will see you tonight after work.
Love always,
-M
Jane turned to her nightstand and saw she indeed had an hour before she had to actually get up. Since she was awake Jane decided to get up. She reached for her phone, deciding to retaliate. She walked into the kitchen to start some coffee talking on the phone. Jane hung up, smiling at what she just did for the doctor. She grabbed the leash to take Jo out while the coffee brewed.
Jane was standing in the bathroom looking at the shower when she finished Jo's walk and her own coffee. She knew she still was unable to wash her hair yet. She decided to throw her hair up in a ponytail out of the way, before stepping into the shower. She washed her body, keeping her hair dry. She dried off and headed to her bedroom. Dressed and grabbing a Red Sox hat to cover her unwashed hair. By the time she was back in the kitchen it was time for her to go to PT.
Jane looked at the pill bottles Maura left on the counter. She wrote another note telling her what to take with another I love you. Jane did as the doctor prescribed, minus the pain medication. She knew it was going to make her loopy, and she would not be able to drive. Jane left for her PT appointment wondering when Maura would be calling her.
Maura was in the morgue playing catch up. The ME that was there while she was gone left a mess in her morgue and office. Papers were all over the place, it looked like a tornado went through. Clearly the person did not know where anything was and threw everything around trying to find what they needed. This boggled Maura because she has everything meticulously labeled to prevent this very situation.
Luckily there was only once case while she was gone. Maura read the report and was in shock of her temporary replacement's incompetence. She went to check what Jane called the "dead fridge" for the body. She was going to have to do everything herself and correctly before anything left her office. She was relieved to see it was still there for her to do another autopsy herself.
The doctor was walking back into her office when she saw an officer standing at the glass doors of the morgue. She recognized him from the front door. He had in his hand a flower arrangement in an elegant vase. Maura looked at the flowers roses, carnations, asters, daisy poms among others; ranging in colors from red, lavender, violet, mauve, and white. She stopped walking staring at the flowers.
"Dr. Maura Isles?" the officer finally asked.
"Yes. Can I help you?" the doctor responded.
"These are for you," he stated handing her the flowers.
Maura took them taking in the colors and scents. "Who sent them?" she asked the man.
"I don't know. I just brought them down for you. As you know security is tighter since the incident," the officer reminded her. He turned and left without another word, leaving the doctor alone with her gift.
Maura placed the vase down on the closest desk. She began looking around, looking for the card. It didn't take long for her to find the little envelope containing a note from the sender. She opened it up seeing a typed script message.
I was thinking about you. I can't wait for you to come home tonight.
I love you,
-J
Maura smiled reading the note. Jane's romantic side was really starting to shine through. The doctor picked up the vase bringing it to her office. She sat down to search for her cell phone to call Jane. She pressed two on her speed dial for Jane's number. The phone rang and rang. Jane wasn't picking up. Maura didn't understand why until she looked at the time. Jane is at PT she thought. Once Jane's voice stopped and Maura heard the beep she left Jane a message.
"Hey honey, I just received your flowers. They are gorgeous. I can't want to see you tonight, so I can properly thank you for brightening my day. I love you."
Maura hung up. Suddenly fixing the replacement's mistakes didn't seem so bad after all. The busier she was the sooner she'd be back in Jane's embrace.
Jane was walking out of PT, when she saw she had a missed call. She listened to the voicemail hearing her lover's voice on the other end. She loved hearing her voice. Jane was concerned by Maura's comment about brightening her day. Curiosity got the best of Jane to find out why Maura's day started out so bad.
She got into her car and stopped to get lunch. She picked up something for herself and a little extra. She left the restaurant with two bags. The detective headed to the precinct to see the doctor.
She entered the precinct to see a new officer sitting at the desk. Jane's breath caught in her throat. The last officer she saw there was killed. Jane was reaching for her side to show her badge to make the checking in process easier. However when she reached for it, there was nothing there. "Damn it," she said under her breathe.
She placed the bags on the table for the officer to look into. Jane signed in her name, the officer spoke. "Who are ya and who ya here to see?"
He's definitely new. Not just to the precinct but a new cop. Jane thought before answering. "Detective Jane Rizzoli, I'm here to see Dr. Maura Isles," she informed the officer while walking through the metal detector.
"Detective? Where's your badge?" he asked skeptic.
Jane rolled her eyes, annoyed by the man's arrogance. Jane lifted her shirt enough to show the scars forming on her side. "I'm on medical leave of absence due to being shot on the job," Jane said in an irritated voice. Leaving out how exactly she was shot. She reached for the bags, turning to the elevators.
The officer followed Jane, grabbing her arm. "What is your business with the doctor?"
"Oh god! Are you serious?" Jane pulled the bags up to his eye sight, "Lunch."
The officer did not let go of her arm. He was not convinced. Jane jerked her arm free and walked over to his desk picked up his phone. She dialed the number to the morgue. She handed it to him, waiting for him to take it. She was so annoyed that the bigot was ruining her second surprise of the day. He stood there staring at Jane; he took so long to decide that Maura's voice could be heard coming from the phone. He finally took it speaking into it.
"Sorry to bother you Dr. Isles. There is a woman up here who claims to know you." He paused waiting for the doctor to respond. "Detective Jane Rizzoli...Ok." He handed the phone back to Jane. "She said to go down."
Jane didn't respond. She placed the phone back and walked to the elevator. The doors opened and she stepped inside.
"Jane!" Maura exclaimed seeing the detective enter the morgue. She followed her instinct of wrapping her arms around the detective's neck.
Jane was still angry with the officer upstairs, but her shoulders relaxed feeling Maura up against her. She wrapped her arms around the doctor. "Hey," the detective finally said into the doctor's ear.
Maura pulled away to arm's length. She wanted to kiss Jane. She started to lean up towards Jane's lips but stopped realized where they were. She let go of the other woman walking away. "What are you doing here?" she asked trying to keep herself calm.
"I thought you might want something to eat," Jane informed her lifting the bags up.
Maura took the bags from Jane, "Thank you."
The doctor turned and went into her office with the detective in tow. Maura took her normal spot behind her desk. Jane took notice of her flowers on her desk. She moved the chair next to the ME's desk, and moved it next to Maura. She turned it so she could sit facing the doctor. Maura emptied the contents onto her desk, knowing which sandwich was for herself and the woman sitting next to her. Once empty Maura turned to face Jane, placing her legs in between the others woman's legs.
Jane smiled at the doctor. "So who is the new dickhead at the desk?"
"John?"
"Yes John. Is he always a dick?"
"Language please," Maura responded sternly.
"Sorry." Jane lowered her voice to a husky whisper, "With all the swearing we both did last night I forgot."
Maura's face turned red at the comment. "That's still no excuse."
"So you gonna tell me what the deal with John?"
"It's not just John. Yes. He is new, but security has gotten tighter since…what happened."
Jane nodded in response. She didn't want to remember the events of the day Maura was referring to. "Makes sense. However, if the lieutenant didn't have everyone at the crime scene the event wouldn't have happened." Jane tried to keep her voice calm and level.
Maura noticed Jane was getting upset and tried to change the subject. "Thank you so much for the flowers."
Jane smiled at the change of subject. "You're welcome. You said it brightened your day. Why did it start off not good?"
"Well…" Maura stalled by taking a bite of her sandwich. "The temporary ME left my office a mess. Also the report the person wrote was atrocious. So I have to fix their mistakes before it can leave this office."
Jane reached across taking Maura's hand in hers. "Sorry to hear that."
"You want to know the worse part?" Maura asked the detective.
"That's why I'm here," Jane informed her.
"I had to leave you and come to work without you."
Jane chuckled at the doctor's comment. She quickly looked out the windows making sure no one was coming. She leaned forward placing a chaste kiss on the doctor's lips. "That does suck," Jane whispered pulling away.
"I knew you'd understand," Maura responded with her eyes still closed.
The two finished their lunch, and Maura had to pretty much kick Jane out of the morgue so she could actually work. It was hard because the detective was pouting the entire time claiming she could be useful.
"You could always visit the bullpen before you leave," Maura suggested when she got Jane to the door.
"I didn't come here to see them. I came here to see you, and to bring you some lunch. I know how you sometimes forget to eat."
"And I appreciate the lunch. I'll see you tonight and I can properly thank you for the flowers and lunch." Maura wrapped her arms around the detective's waist.
"What did you have in mind?" Jane reciprocated by wrapping her own arms around the doctor's neck.
Maura smiled, leaning up capturing Jane's lips. "Just a preview," she whispered releasing the brunette.
Jane groaned in frustration of Maura releasing her touch. "Ok. I'll see you back at my place. And if on the rare chance I'm asleep, you better wake me up." Jane said finally leaving the morgue.
Maura didn't retaliate she just went to the fridge to get the body she had to do an autopsy on again.
Maura got to Jane's apartment later than she had anticipated. She needed to run home first and get more clothes. She didn't plan on staying there after she went back to work. She definitely didn't expect for them to deepen their relationship.
She walked into Jane's place seeing the TV was still on. It had another baseball game game on. She didn't pay much attention to it nor the teams playing. But noticed Jane was again asleep on the couch. Maura contemplated waking her, but Jane wanted her to wake her up.
Maura walked around the couch, and sat down on the coffee table. She brushed her fingers across the detective's forehead down her cheek. Jane started to stir at the touch but didn't wake. Maura remembered she was a heavy sleeper. She leaned over placing a light kiss on her forehead. Moving her hand from the detective's cheek to her shoulder. She gave it a little shake, and Jane's eyes fluttered open. She smirked, "You know this is my favorite way of being woken up."
Maura looked down at the detective and saw her cleavage was in Jane's face. "Of course," she replied.
Maura leaned into Jane's lips capturing them in a passionate kiss. "I've been waiting all day to be able to do that to you," Maura whispered.
"You kissed me in the morgue," Jane clarified.
Maura kissed the detective again. This time deepening the kiss and swiping her tongue over Jane's lips. "Yes but no like this," Maura retorted, kissing Jane for the third time. Jane allowed the doctor to gain entrance into her mouth; massaging each other's tongues. Jane moaned into the kiss, before pulling away. "I see what you mean. What do you say we move this into the bathroom?"
"You mean bedroom," Maura corrected.
"No bathroom. I couldn't wash my hair today."
Maura looked at the hair tied up with a hair elastic. Maura smirked, "I've always enjoyed our showers."
The doctor stood up and extended her hand for Jane. Gladly Jane accepted the hand following Maura to the bathroom. Once in the hallway, Jane removed her hand from Maura's grasp, and turned her attention to the zipper on the back of the doctor's dress.
"What are you doing?" the blonde ask, feeling a rush of cool air hit her back.
Jane moved her hands up to Maura's shoulders pushing the material off of them. "Helping you," Jane replied as the dress fell to the floor.
Maura's stride didn't falter. She continued walking, and stepped out of the dress in the process. Leaving her in her heals, bra and thong, when she reached the bathroom. Jane closed the door behind her and started to unbutton her shirt, while Maura turned her attention to the nozzle of the shower. The doctor turned her attention back to Jane who was shirtless, and working on her pants. The blonde walked to the detective, helping her to finish getting undressed. She hooked her thumbs in the material pulling the pants down. She didn't stand helping Jane step out of the material. She ran her hands up the brunette's legs, up the sides of her abdomen and ribs. She reached around Jane pulling her into another kiss, and releasing her of her bra. Jane followed suit in unclasping the doctor's bra.
In the process of their passionate make out session, the reminder of the clothing was removed and they were in the shower. Maura did not stop kissing the detective as her hands moved down Jane's body to her clit. She wasted no time in applying pressure to the sensitive bundle of nerves. Jane released the ME's lips gasping in the abruptness. "You're not wasting anytime tonight are you?" Jane tried asking between moans of pleasure.
Maura moved her hands further down, inserting two fingers into Jane. She started moving her fingers in and out, using the palm of her hand to apply pressure to Jane's clit.
"I've been waiting all day to properly thank you. I don't have patience right now," Maura replied in a husky voice.
"Fuck Maura, I like it when you take charge," Jane moaned.
The doctor continued to increase the pace of her hand. She move down Jane's body taking one of her nipples into her mouth; sucking it into her mouth before biting down. The sensations were too much for Jane as her body gave in to the orgasm. Maura felt Jane's body stiffen, and the walls clench around her fingers. Knowing she sent the detective over the edge, but never once slowing down. One Jane's body relaxed, she reached down to Maura placing her hands on her cheeks; pulling her up for a passionate kiss.
"I think you said thank you enough," Jane placed a chaste kiss on Maura's lips.
"Now that I said thank you, let me help you get cleaned up."
Maura washed Jane's hair, and the two stepped out of the shower. Jane didn't feel the need to wash her body, because she can do that on her own. She didn't want to leave the doctor's side. They dried off and walked into the bedroom. Maura shed the towel and crawled into bed without putting any clothes on.
Jane shrugged and followed suit. She was too worn out from PT, and the thank you she just received. She wrapped her arms around the doctor, pulling her close to her exposed body. She kissed the ME's shoulder, "Tomorrow I'll tell you, you're welcome."
"I like the sound of that," Maura said smiling. She turned her head quickly capturing the brunette's lips. "Good night Jane. Love you."
"Night, love you too," Jane mumbled as sleep took her over.
