AN : Damn, Maura sure took a long drive home. What was that? Like a week…..? Had an assignment to write guys….send me your love….:D. Sorry this chpt may not end up as good. Had to hurry it out to keep you from the looooooong wait. My usual frequent updates will be back to normal now.(as long as I don't like get hit by a car or anything)

Maura pulled up into Angela's driveway and couldn't help the grin on her face when she caught sight of her girlfriend slouched out on a swing-chair. The brunette looked so peaceful and seemed to be humming to a tune in her head.

''Hey gorgeous'', Maura said to the detective as she walked closer.

''Hey beautiful'', Jane rasped before Maura captured her lips. The kiss ended all too soon for Jane who had terribly missed the beautiful blonde. She was happier that Maura wasn't mad or sad anymore.

''I'm sorry I was away for so long''. She caressed Jane's face with her warm delicate hands, memorising every feature of it. ''I cannot believe I am saying this, but it was painful''

They both laughed. ''Doctor! Abandoning science are we?'', Jane asked in mock surprise.

''I am still working on the exact scientific explanation, but I have gathered a few facts'', she whispered against Jane's face, continuing with her exploration. She had now moved to straddle Jane.

''Is that so. Do tell'', Jane raised an eyebrow.

''There was this really lonely woman, who one day met a very hurt woman. The two bonded instantly and became the best of friends. One day one of the women realized she was truly madly deeply in love with the other-''

''No fucking way!'' Jane blurted whilst laughing out loud.

''Jane, watch your language sweetheart'', the doctor admonished with faux innocence.

''Couldn't help it, I'm sorry. But did you just quote a song name?'', Jane continued to laugh.

''Yes I believe I did. Does that surprise you detective? I happen to love that song you know''. Maura was now placing soft kisses on Jane's face, still speaking in that sexual tone she used very rarely but Jane totally flipped over.

''I guess it's not surprised. Very soon you may tell me you have abandoned your dreams of being a medical examiner and you want to join a girl-band''

This brought the biggest smile to the doctor's lips. ''I love you Jane, you know that?''

''I do Maura, I do. But if I remember correctly, you were telling me about some facts you have gathered in pursuit of a scientific explanation as to why it hurts when you miss me''

''Ah, yes. You distracted me Jane. Where was I?...oh yes, I remember. So one day the other woman realized her feeling for the other, and somewhere along the line her feelings were reciprocated. They kept this knowledge to themselves till the other woman received a letter from the bold one.'', here she paused a little, and then finally kissed Jane's lips before going on.

''The unimaginable happened, and the two were separated, only to be reunited months and months later. With a few complications they eventually began a relationship. They have been together every day and almost every single minute since then. So when the one woman runs off after a minor breakdown, she soon learns how hard it is to be without her other half. So these are my facts, now I just need to put it into medical talk''. The whole story was so unlike Maura, very Jane like though, but the brunette found it sweet and laughed out loud again. Maura didn't stop kissing Jane all over her face.

When Jane was about to speak, Maura beat her to it really fast. ''I went to see Frost''

Jane's eye went wide. That is one of the last places she thought Maura may have gone (the few minutes she took to dwell on it).

''I wanted to just talk to someone. Meeting Casey just threw me off balance a little. It made me start to question everything we have''

''Maura-''

Maura placed her forefinger against Jane's lips to silence her. ''I know Jane. I know. They were some crazy thoughts that just crept into my head and I just had to deal with them. But I am fine now. I understand. We don't have to talk about it ok''

Jane nodded. Then Maura pressed her lips against hers again. It was a much feral kiss this time around. The smaller woman bunched up black locks into her hands as she pushed harder into Jane. The swing was now swaying from Maura's frenzied actions but none took notice. Maura moved further to attack Jane's neck, leaving evidence comparable to a teenaged make out session – she didn't care. She wanted to devour Jane as best as she could. Her hand found its way inside Jane's clothing and immediately landed on its destination – Jane's breast. The brunette let out a soft moan when Maura started skilfully kneading it, all the while grinding into Jane. The detective seemed too turned on to do much other than moan and run her hand up and down Maura's back. Their current location proved to be less than ideal, so Jane took hold of Maura's nicely shaped bottom and lifted them both off the swing – a rather difficult process it turned out to be. She didn't get to her third attempt before her phone rang.

''Leave it'', Maura purred into her ear. It made Jane weak in the knees.

She left it. Then it rang again.

''I gotta see who it is baby'', the term of endearment just fuelled Maura further.

''Later'', was all Maura managed as they continued groping each other on the front porch.

It rang again. And this time Maura finally withdraw, realizing it might be important. Jane answered without even looking at the caller id. Her eyes were fixated on the terribly horny girlfriend of hers straddling her lap.

''Rizzoli''

''Uh…Jane'', Angela spoke with hesitation.

''You've. Gotta. Be. Fucking. Kidding. Me.!'' She let every word out separately, filled with nothing but anger.

''Jane'', Maura narrowed her eyes at the brunette.

''What? It Ma'', Maura understood her annoyance and shut her pie hole.

''It's….you know…'', Angela tried.

''No I don't! What the hell do you want Ma. You're just in the house'', Jane yelled.

Angela then emerged from the front door, looking guilty as ever. Her eyes met with Maura's and the doctor felt a wave of embarrassment she had never ever felt before in her entire life. Her girlfriends mother had just caught them shamelessly making out on the front porch of her house. Said mother being the overly chatty Angela. Jane just buried her face onto Maura's chest, who was still sitting on Jane's lap.

''You seemed to have…uhhhmmm, you were getting carried away…..so….you are on the front porch''

''So you were watching us!'', Jane's eyes nearly popped out.

''Of course not. But then again, it's hard not to given your choice of…'', she waved her hands around not knowing what word to use.

Maura slowly slipped out of Jane's lap and stood on two shaky feet. ''Thank you Angela'', she shyly said, not making eye contact. And very fast, she walked into the house.

Angela was just staring at her flustered and frustrated daughter. ''What, Ma? I can feel you looking at me''

''Just, I've….never mind'', she shook her head.

''Don't never mind me. What is it?''

''I just haven't quite seen people kiss the way you do'', Angela remarked, smirk in place.

''Ok, I am not having this conversation with you''. Jane stood and walked hurried towards Maura.

''MAURA….'', she shouted. ''WE NEED TO GET OUR OWN HOUSE…NOW!'' Angela just laughed behind her. When Jane got to their bedroom she found a tearful Maura. The doctor was looking at everything Jane had left on the bed set out for her. Jane quietly stood behind her and placed a soft kiss on her neck.

''I'm taking you out for dinner tonight''. One of the things Maura fell in love with was Jane's bravado. There were moments when Jane was so sure of herself, it was intoxicating. Her voice took on a deeper pitch, her eyes narrowed a little, and the smirk on her face was ever present. That is all Maura saw when she turned to look at the love of her life. Jane wasn't asking, she was stating that they were going for dinner. And Maura didn't need to be told how outstanding it was going to be, she knew, just by the vibes coming from Jane. She fell a little further in love with her in that moment; something that always seemed to have reached its peak every time she thought about it.

''Indeed you are'', Maura replied. ''It's beautiful Jane, the dress. I love it. Thank you my love.''

''Anything for you Maura.'' they shared a soft kiss that spoke volumes.

Maura slowly picked up the roses and brought them to her nose and inhaled the scent with a huge smile on her face. When she read the card she was in tears all over again. Jane could really be sweet and thoughtful if she wanted to be. And here Maura had spent the afternoon blabbing about not being the right one for Jane.

So at 7pm a limo arrived to take them to dinner. Maura was awed and all the work Jane had been doing all afternoon arranging for their date. She hadn't shut up about how beautiful the dress was and about how well Jane's attire complemented hers. Jane was just all smiles.

Maura's jaw dropped to the ground when they arrived at their destination. ''Oh my God'', she breathed in utter shock. Not in a million years would she have expected Jane to bring her here. She never would have even thought Jane knew of that place. The hostess greeted them by the door and led them to their table. ''oh Jane'', she pulled the brunette into a heart-felt kiss. ''this is amazing Jane. I honestly have no idea how you come up with these things.'', she kissed her hard again. ''you are a remarkable woman. And you are my woman. I never thought I would ever be this lucky in life''

''Well, I'm lucky too you know''

''But the difference is that you may have expected it, or wished it. But I never thought it imaginable that I would ever be this blessed – never'', Maura spoke so softly with a very sad tone, it made Jane absolutely happy she had done this for Maura. And she swore it wouldn't be the last time.

''Come, let's sit and enjoy our meal''

The pair sat down and had a splendid time. Maura confided in Jane about her insecurities induced by the visit to Casey's house. Then she told Jane all about her conversation with Frost. Jane couldn't stop laughing over the fact that Frost had made sandwiches that Maura could eat. And because of their little interruption from Angela that afternoon, they started planning about getting a place of their own with a renewed sense of urgency.

''We don't need a big house Maura'', Jane whined. The detective was all about modesty, simplicity, and practicality.

''Not big Jane, but average sized. Say four bedrooms?'', Maura reasoned.

''Four bedrooms, Jesus Maura, it's just you and me'', the detective almost chocked on her dessert.

''One for us, one for guests, and the other for when we have kids'', she spoke as if she were reading a passage from a book.

Jane covered her face with her hands. She suddenly felt nauseous.

''Jane. Are you ok?'', Maura was suddenly worried by how considerably pale Jane had gotten. ''if I remember well, you said you hoped we'd one day have kids''. Jane was still silent. ''Listen, I don't mean now. It could be two or three years from now. But doesn't it make sense to just get a house with that in mind instead of having to move once we start a family. Jane!'' Maura looked up only now realizing she was engaged in a monologue.

Her name finally got her to look up. ''sorry, I just felt a little dizzy''. Clearly she had not heard a word Maura said after ''kids''. But she wasn't actively blocking her girlfriend out, she genuinely felt dizzy.

''Are you ok Jane. You look a little…'', even Maura couldn't pick an appropriate medical term for it.

''I'm ok. It's really fine.''

With that they continued dinner. Jane finally accepted her fate and knew Maura was going to get the house she wanted come what may. She didn't really mind anyway. If Maura was happy, she was happy. So starting Monday when the detective got back to work, Maura's job was going to be house hunting. Boy was Jane glad that she didn't have to be fully hands-on on that one. Angela and Maura doing house shopping was not anything Jane thought she could survive through, work had certainly never come as a better escape than it did in that moment.

When dinner was over, Maura was fully prepared to go home and relax. Her day had turned out to be somewhat emotionally draining.

''When we get home I could do with a nice long soak in some sea salts'', she thought aloud as they waited for the valet in the foyer of the very posh restaurant. Apparently everyone seemed to have finished dining the same time and many couples were lingering around. Each person looked to be dressed in their finest, and Jane couldn't help but notice the many eyes that lingered on her girlfriend – both men and women. She could actually pick out a few that were shamelessly undressing Maura with their eyes, it was pathetic. Maura on the other hand was oblivious as ever, going on about plans she had for the night and the house and many other things Jane missed while scaring strangers off with her eyes.

''Oh, there we are'', Jane said a little too excited. She couldn't wait to leave the sight of all pervy eyes on her Maura. She jumped into the limo and Jane captured Maura lips immediately.

''What was that for'', Maura asked after Jane pulled away.

''I've never seen so many eyes on you before. Buying that dress might not have been such a good idea after all….come to think of it, it's probably just you. The dress may have just a little to do with it.

''Flattering, detective. I may have spotted a few eyes on you too you know''

''Is that so'', Jane asked, attacking Maura's neck this time. ''I say we make quite a pair then''

''We certainly do''

Maura rested her head on Jane's shoulder the rest of the ride back, occasionally fiddling with Jane's long fingers as they maintained companionable silence. After the limo pulled over a few minutes into their journey, Maura shot up. ''why are we stopping?''

''Oh my God!''

''Jane what's wrong'', Maura yelled in full panic.

''I think we have been kidnapped'', she said seriously.

Jane watched as Maura's eyes darted around the inside of the vehicle and simultaneously tried to take a peek outside. Before she could say anything, the door was opening and Jane was slipping out.

''Jane!'', she yelled again.

''Come on honey'', Jane stretched her hand out to Maura who reluctantly exited the vehicle.

''Your jokes are not funny at all Jane'', she jabbed Jane in the stomach with her elbow.

''Ouch, Maur.'', she rubbed the spot. ''when I am filing charges for abuse, will you testify?'', Jane laughed reaching for the overnight bag the driver was handing to her.

''I certainly will Detective Rizzoli. I am witnessing it first-hand.''

All three of them laughed as Jane led Maura toward the entrance of the hotel.

''We're spending the night here'', she whispered seductively in Maura's ear. The doctor thought she could die from euphoria. Jane had booked a suite for them in a four star hotel to spend the night. It was so difficult having relaxed sex with Angela around. Even when she wasn't in the room it seemed as if she was still watching them. Jane hated that feeling. It took away the pure pleasure of being fully engrossed in an intimate moment with her girlfriend. So tonight, what with Casey and all, she thought they could have the night to reconnect with no interruptions.
