Glad you're all liking it thus far!

"You know, Jane?" He sighed "It's not like he took some piece of jewelry." Mr. Wagglann stated bluntly.

"So what you're saying is, they're not going to settle?" Jane asked reluctantly.

"It would be easier if it had been some jewelry, hell a whole box of jewelry would've been better. But you're brother didn't steal someone's family heirloom, he stole their family member and tried to pawn it. I mean really Miss Rizzoli, what kind of idiot steals an urn and then tries to pawn it?" Mr. Wagglann responded frustrated.

"I know Mr. Wagglann, I know." She sighed. "Did they at least read the apology letter Tommy wrote?" Jane asked trying to withhold the desperation in her voice.

"Yes, as I told you and your brother, an in person apology would have held more bearing than some piece of paper." Wagglann said shaking a sheet of paper for emphasis.

He sighed and settled back in his chair. "I won't lie or try to put any positive spin on things, I know how you like it straight forward. They're out for blood. The guy who he was trying to pawn was a decorated officer and you brothers actions upset a lot of people, not to mention this wasn't his first brush with the law." He sighed heavily again folding his hands atop his rounded gut. "Listen the best I can do is suggest you try and save your business by-"

"I am!" She interrupted.

He held up his and continued "By firing your brother, personally apologizing to the family and possibly even offering to file joint charges against him."

"I don't know Mr. Wagglann, I mean it's a family business. How can you expect me to turn my back on my family like that?" Jane asked, the anguish of the suggestion written on her face.

"I understand Jane, it's a difficult decision." He said leaning forward. "But do you think he though about family for one second when he did what he did? Yours or the Paganos?" Mr. Wagglann said, trying to make her understand.

What he didn't understand it that by turning on her brother she'd be turning on her entire family and right now she needed them, especially since Liz left. She hadn't yet told her mother about her split from the photographer. That was going to crush her, her mother loved Liz even hiring her to take her vowel renewal photos. Another shock to her mother wasn't needed, she was trying to cope with her husband leaving more than 8 months ago and now her son was in trouble with the law again. Jane was going to try her best to protect her mother, to shield her from any harm. It was cheesy but she reccently said she wished she could put a security system around her mother's heart, though seeing the way she carried herself the woman didn't need it. Even still, Jane didn't want to test the woman any more or worse push her to that unseen breaking point.

"I'll have to think about it Mr. Wagglann. When can I let you know my decision?"

"Well, it's Thursday, best if I heard from you by this weekend." He paused and placed his hand on hers. "Listen Jane, don't take this burden on yourself. Discuss it with your family and coworkers, it effects you all."

"I know and I will. You'll hear from me by Saturday." Jane said standing to leave. As she was leaving Mr. Wagglann called to her.

"Oh and Jane?" he smiled. "Tell that beautiful fiancé of yours I said hi!" He winked.

As if the bandaged of a fresh wound had been ripped off, Jane's expression faltered.

"Yeah, sure." She gave a weak smile and left.

After leaving Mr. Wagglanns office Jane decided to go home. Even though she wasn't in the best of moods she even called the guys giving them the rest of the day off. Thinking nothing of the uncharacteristic behavior of their boss the guys booked it out of the office as quick as possible.

Once home she stripped of her suit and jumped into a scalding shower. She let the heat seep into her body until it hit her bones. She was worn out, this wasn't anything new but she'd never felt it emotionally before. All of the emotions of the last twenty four hours came bubbling up into her chest, she let out a single sob followed by no tears. She couldn't cry, couldn't allow herself to breakdown, not now maybe later when things settled. Now she needed to remain the strongest link and carry everyone through this.

Jane turned off the shower, breathed in deep and stepped out to wrap a towel around her. She walked over to her dresser and pulled out a well worn pair of blue checkered boxers and Red Sox tee. Tired legs carried her to the kitchen where she grabbed a beer and brought back to the couch. Plopping down she flipped on the tv and checked her dvr for the most recent Sox game she missed.

Somewhere around the third inning she drifted off into sleep. She woke startled by knocking at the door. Rubbing her face she looked at the clock, it read 6am. 'Great' she thought, as she dragged herself over to the door. Spying through the peep hole she pulled her head back quickly, rubbed her eyes and looked back out again checking what she saw. Liz? She swung open the door open and the two women crashed together.

Mouths frantically sought each other's mate. Jane's back hit the wall behind as Liz further pressed her body against her. Jane couldn't process the situation, she didn't want to but she didn't want this to be a one off. She needed to know if they were getting back together. Jane pulled away from Liz's lips, panting all she could manage to say was 'Why?' Jane, ever the rational thinker at the most irrational times.

Liz wasted no time while Jane was trying to speak to her, her lips found that spot on Jane's neck that made her knees go weak and began to suck and nip the spot. Jane's brain was clouding up with sex, but she still wanted an answer. Grabbing the darker woman's shoulders Jane pulled Liz off of her neck, and instinctually whimpered at the loss of contact. Swallowing hard, Jane tried again. 'Why here?' she managed two words.

Liz's lips curled up into a smirk, her eyes lit up like embers. 'Mistake.' was all she said as she pulled Jane over to the couch. Liz pushed Jane back onto the couch and pushed her legs open kneeling between them. Jane scooted her hips forward and stared into Liz's eyes. If anything they were haunting, but now she saw the fire that burned in them, the passion. Maybe it was a mistake, maybe Liz was having a bad day and was stressed, Jane thought. She was brought out of those thoughts when she felt Liz's hot mouth over her core. She let out a throaty moan and clamped her eyes shut as Liz teased her through her boxers. She slowly began to roll her hips, hoping to get the point across that Liz needed to hurry up.

Suddenly Jane's eyes shot open to the sound of her alarm. She looked down between her legs, where Liz was supposed to be her hand was tucked inside her boxers.

"Fuck." Jane said as she got up to silence the infernal alarm.

Maura is on her way, she just takes a while to get ready ;P

You know the deal, motivated by reviews and candy, but mostly reviews :)
