One Week Later…

Maura rested her head on Frankie's shoulder as he helped her through her door way. She smiled as she saw Angela, Tommy, Jane, Korsack, and Frost waiting for them. "Surprise! Welcome home!" they yelled and clapped when they saw Maura and Frankie. Her breath caught in her throat as she gazed at her family. "You guys…" she breathed. Frankie's heart leapt at the look of happiness on his girlfriend's face. He leaned over and kissed her cheek. Angela shoved her son to the side as she engulfed Maura in a motherly hug. "Sweetie, I'm so happy you're safe. I was so worried." She said to her. Maura hugged her back and whispered in her ear, "Thank you."

"I made your favorite!" Angela said as she led Maura to the kitchen. "Eggplant parmesan!" she said proudly, ignoring the sounds of gagging from Tommy. Jane smacked the back of his head and told him to quit being so immature.

"I'm not immature!" he protested.

"Are too!" she argued.

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"OK, knock it off you guys!" Angela scolded her children. Frost snorted in his beer as Korsack rolled his eyes. But Maura burst out laughing. She never had a sibling growing up and she loved watching the Rizzoli's interact.

Frankie went to get Maura's bag out of the car and returned to find his family and friends laughing and talking in the living room. He stood there, leaning against the door and watched them. Jane was teaching Maura how to arm wrestle. Frost, Tommy and Korsack were throwing in dollar bills who would win while Angela laughed at Maura's explanation of how the joints in the arm make arm wrestling possible. Frankie watched as Jane began to slowly get Maura's arm down all the way. When she was 2 inches away from her arm hitting the table, Frankie rushed over and helped Maura out, the two successfully pinning Jane's arm. "I won!" Maura yelled. The living room erupted with laughter. "No way! You guys cheated!" Jane said. Maura reached up and kissed Frankie. "I love you so much." She whispered to him. "I love you too, Maura." He told her back, his brown eyes shining with love and tenderness. Jane and Frost made gaging noises while Angela watched proudly. Her son had found someone amazing and the two loved each other so much. She looked over at Korsack who was watching her lovingly. She knew the seasoned Detective was still waiting for her reply to a question he had asked her a couple weeks ago. Angela looked over at her kids. Tommy was out of prison and was working on his life. Frankie had Maura. And Jane… well, Jane had her job that she was passionate about and even though Angela frowned at the idea of her daughter running around with a gun after bad guys, she was very proud of her. Yes, her children were all doing alright. Now it was time for her to look to her own happiness. She looked back to Korsack and beckoned him to meet her on the patio.

Maura rested in Frankie's arms while she watched Jane and Frost arm wrestle. She tilted her head up and kissed Frankie's chin. "Thank you." She said softly. "For what, sweetheart?" Frankie said as he leaned over to whisper in her ear. "Thank you for sharing your family with me. I love all you guys and I can't even describe how happy it makes me having everyone here. I never had this growing up and I am so grateful to have a family now. Oh, and thank you for saving me." She teased. Frankie nipped her shoulder and pressed soothing kisses to it, making her sigh with pleasure. "Maura, sweetie. My family is your family. They love you. My mom adores you and can't wait to take you shoe shopping and teach you all her family recipes." He teased, making Maura smile. "She does have good cooking." Maura agreed. Frankie nodded in agreement and moved her hair out of the way to press kisses to the back of her neck. "You know when we were looking for you, she called you her daughter. She thinks of you as a daughter. And Jane, you guys are best friends. Jane's never really had a friend like you. You're special to her and she'd do anything for you. And Tommy, he talked to me yesterday and he knows you and him would never work out. But he cares about you like he cares for Jane. And I am in love with you, so much. You're part of this family." He told her.

They were interrupted as Frost and Tommy began fighting over who won their arm wrestling match. "Hey, where's Korsack? He's next!" Frost said. They all looked around to find Angela and Korsack missing. They got up and looked around. Tommy found them first. "Guys! Come look at this!" he said. They all crowded around the window to see Angela and Korsack on the patio dancing slowly. "I'm not sure if I should be grossed out or happy…" Jane said after a minute. Frankie and Tommy nodded in agreement. It was weird to see their Ma dancing with someone who was not their dad. "She looks happy…" Maura said. "Yeah, she does, doesn't she?" Jane said as she watched her mom dance with Korsack.

"Korsack's a good man, he'll treat her right." Frankie decided as he rested an arm on Maura's lower back. She leaned back to find Frankie's arms wrapped tightly around her. He leaned over to whisper in her ear. "And I promise to treat you right. Everyday." He promised her. Maura looked up at him and brought his lips closer to hers. "I'm going to hold you to that, Mr. Rizzoli." She said with a sparkle in her eye. Frankie chuckled and sealed the deal with a kiss.

The End.
