Now like Jane mentioned in the last chapter, I HATE when people are late to my family dinners. Unless you're dying or hospitalized, you better be on time. Well, like usual Jane was late. But this time she had a very good excuse...

6:45pm. Rizzoli Household.

"Ma!" Jane screamed as they entered the front door.

Angela Rizzoli appeared out of the kitchen.

"Jane where the hell have you been?!" Angela scolded.

"Sorry Ma. We just got to talking and before either of us knew it, it was 6:00. I'm so sorry." Jane said.

Angela shook her head. "This is the tenth time you've been late. It's Sunday Janey! Wait." she paused. "Who's we?" Angela asked now curious.

Jane smiled. "Her." she said stepping aside. "Her name is Maura Isles. she's Studying to be a doctor." Jane said proudly remembering her friends details.

"Medical Examiner." Maura corrected. Jane rolled her eyes. "Well it's still medical isn't it?" she said sarcastically.

"Well. Technically yes but I'm not looking to heal. I'm looking to find facts and the forensic truth behind why he or she was killed." Maura said point blank.

Neither Jane nor Angela knew what to say.

"Well that sounds very interesting!" Angela said smiling. "Your parents must be very proud."

Maura smiled. Even though her parents never really payed attention.

"Well you're both here and I'm imagining both of you are hungry." Angela said.

Both Maura and Jane nodded. "Starving." Jane said.

"Well technically you're not starving." Maura said. "If you were starving, that would indicate that you haven't eaten in days or weeks. You'd be incredibly weak and you would look extremely malnourished. You're not starving, you're just very hungry." She said.

Jane just stared in awe. Maura was like a talking encyclopedia.

"Well then I guess I am just very hungry." Jane said teasing.

"Frankie, Tommy dinner!" Angela screamed.

Maura and Jane sat side by side at the table. "My brothers are pests." she whispered to Maura. "And they're going to want your life's story."

Maura chuckled and nodded. She was now curious to meet the Rizzoli boys.

"Woah." Tommy said sitting down. "Who's the hottie?" he said pointing at Maura.

Jane rolled her eyes. Tommy was such a pain. Always getting into trouble.
"Maura I'd like you to meet the youngest Rizzoli and the troublemaker. Tommy." She said.

"Tommy this is Maura. She's smarter than you'll ever be." she said.

"Jane!" Angela hissed. "Be nice to your brother."

Jane rolled her eyes.

"Hi Maura." Tommy said sheepishly.

Maura chuckled and Tommy. "Hello Tommy." she said shaking his hand.

"Woah who's the babe?" Frankie Jr. said as he sat down.

"Really Frankie?" Jane said rolling her eyes.

Maura laughed. She found it quite intriguing that they thought she was attractive.

"I'm Maura." she said to Frankie. "I'm Janes friend." she said smiling.

"Janey has friends?" Frankie said sarcastically.

Maura stared at him confused. "Why yes she does. She's a very nice person. I wouldn't see why she wouldn't."

Jane looked at her. She suddenly got this warm feeling. "Thanks Maur" she said smiling.

Maura looked at her and smiled back. "You're welcome Jane." she said.

"So what are you studying?" Frankie asked.

Maura looked up. "Forensics and Medicine." she said.

"So you want to be a doctor?" Tommy asked. "That's so cool!"

"She can examine me." Frankie said.

Jane kicked Frankie from under the table. "Knock it off" she hissed.

"I could only examine you if you were dead." Maura said.

"That could be arranged." Jane said giving her brother the evil eye.

"Jane!" Angela exclaimed. "Be nice!"

Maura laughed. "I want to be a medical examiner." she said smiling.

"Maura is studying at Boston Cambridge University." she said proudly.

"I'm the youngest in my class." she said.

"How old are you?" Frankie asked.

"17." she said.

Jane looked at her. "What?" she said.

"How old do I look?" Maura asked.

"19. At least." Angela said.

Jane agreed.

"I graduated early." Maura said. "BCU accepted me regardless of my age."

"Wow." Jane said in awe. "Didn't see that coming."

Maura laughed. She really loved the Rizzoli's.

The Rizzoli's and Maura all were having a wonderful time after dinner that they all lost track of time.

"Oh my goodness." Maura said looking at her watch.

"What is it dear?" Angela asked.

"I didn't realize how late it had gotten." Maura said as she stood up. It was already 10pm.

Jane looked at the time. They were all having so much fun. She didn't want Maura to leave.

"I better get going." Maura said. Jane stood up. "How do you plan on getting back to BCU." She said.

"I can call a taxi." Maura said.

Jane shook her head. "Not this late at night. I'll drive you back. I don't live far from BCU."

Maura nodded. "Okay." she said to Jane. "It was nice meeting you all." she said smiling.

Angela walked over to Maura and hugged her. Maura hated hugs but was okay with Angela for some odd reason. "Come back anytime dear." she said.

"Thank you ." she said.

"Please call me Angela." she said smiling at Maura.

Maura smiled. "Okay. Thank you Angela. I'm sure you'll see more of me."

Angela smiled at Maura. "I hope I do."

"C'mon Doctor Death." Jane said.

"I'm not a doctor yet." she said correcting her.

Jane rolled her eyes. "Yeah yeah yeah c'mon. Bye Ma, See ya Pop."

"Bye Janey see you next Sunday." Angela said.

"Bye Jane. Drive safe. Love you." Frank Sr. said.

Jane waved to both then closed the door and got in the car.

"You don't live here anymore?" Maura said getting in.

Jane shook her head as she put on her seatbelt "Nope" she said backing out. "Moved out last year."

Maura simply nodded. She smiled as she closed her eyes for the ride home.What a perfect evening. she thought.

Jane looked over at her friend who was now asleep. Perfect night. She said to herself.

Maura fit into our family perfectly. There was no doubt that I'd see her again. She and my daughter got along so well. And Maura brought out a side in Jane no one ever knew existed.
