I know it's not the greatest, but I had to jump back in somewhere. Please put in some suggestions as to how you'd like them to come out to Jane's family so I can get that part out of the way and get back to the fluff and smut!

Life was good for Jane Rizzoli. It had been almost two weeks since she'd uttered those three life changing words to Maura- and overcoming her fear had been worth it. By day, they were an unbreakable team, solving murders, getting the bad guys. And by night, they complete each other. Emotionally. Physically. In every way possible, Maura was the complimentary piece to Jane's soul, and Jane to Maura's. There was only one problem. No one else knew. And it was getting harder to hide it from the world- even though everyone assumed any way.

As Jane rolled over in bed, bleary eyed from the short night of rest, she paused for a second to take in Maura. Sleeping peacefully beside her. The ME's soft breaths caused a honey curl to puff softly in the air before falling back down across her cheek. Smiling, Jane reached over and tucked it behind her ear gently, causing a stir from her sleeping counterpart.

"Mmmorning," Maura mumbled, snuggling closer into Jane's warmth. "Good morning," Jane whispered, her voice overflowing with the smile still on her face. She pressed her lips to Maura's messy hair and left them there for a moment, inhaling deeply. Maura hummed sleepily, "what time is it?" Jane consulted the alarm clock on the night table. Their alarm would be going off in 5 minutes. "Time to pretend we don't have jobs for a few more minutes," Jane groaned, pulling the covers up over both of their heads before pulling Maura into a tight hug.

Maura smiled against Jane's heated skin and curled up into her hold, appreciating the feel of her steady heartbeat and gentle massaging fingers. "Jane?" Maura whispered softly, her breath tickling Jane's shoulder. "When are we going to start telling people?" Maura whispered, looking up to the outline of Jane's face. The detective sighed softly, pulling Maura closer. She'd been wondering the same thing. She didn't want the ME to think she was ashamed, or trying to keep her a secret. On the contrary, Jane had to keep herself from telling everyone she came across just how lucky she was to have someone like Maura. It's just that, she didn't know how people would take it. She didn't want to lose her reputation at work, she didn't want to upset her ma, or make Korsak and Frost feel uncomfortable. She just wanted to be with Maura.

After a moment of silence Jane kissed Maura's forehead, "today, if you want."

Maura pulled the blankets down so she could see Jane's face. "Are you sure? I don't want to...pressure you." She searched the detectives brown eyes and was reassured to find nothing but love there. "There's no reason to put it off any more, Maur. I'm just...still at loss for what to say."

The blaring of the alarm clock shattered the moment and Maura quickly rolled over to silence it, before slipping the lower half of her body out of the covers. "We'll figure it out," she promised.

Maura retreated to the lab, once at work, and Jane to her desk. They soon immersed themselves in paperwork and tests, their focus on finishing up the case. Around noon Jane's stomach rumbled and she pulled out her phone, opening a new text to Maura.

Food? I miss you.

Maura pulled out her buzzing phone from her lab pocket and smiled to see Jane's name on her screen. After reading it she quickly pulled off her glove while replying one handed.

I miss you too, Jane. I'll meet you in 5.

By the time Maura walked into the bullpen, Jane was already closing her folders and grabbing her jacket. Korsak looked up from his desk, "going somewhere?" Jane nodded, "yeah it's lunchtime. Want me to grab you something?" Korsak looked at his watch to verify Jane's statement then chuckled, "wow, the day got away from me. No, you two go ahead, I'll grab something from the cafe."

Jane nodded and turned to Maura, smiling lovingly at the sight of her. She'd seen Maura change into the dress she was wearing now, but after not seeing her for a few hours, she had a new appreciation for the way it hugged her delicate curves and complimented her eyes. Maura's eyes made a fleeting glance at Korsak, who was still kicked back at his desk. Jane got the message.

Clearing her throat somewhat awkwardly, Jane took a few steps towards the Sargents desk and twisted her lips. Korsak looked up, noting the expression on the detectives face. "Spill it, Jane," he said light heartedly, closing the file he was looking at. "Uhmm, so, I kind of had something to tell you..."

"Had?"

"Well, no, I have."

"Well then?"

Jane blushed slightly, knowing she was terrible at this. "Korsak, would you...would me and Maura...would it make you.."

Korsak's eyes widened in realization and he looked over at Maura who was still standing in the doorway. He smiled, shaking his head as he let out a hearty laugh, "wow, well I saw that coming."

Jane, still crimson, stepped closer. "It doesn't bother you, does it? Korsak you know I'm not going to let it get in the way of doing my job. I don't want you to think-"

The sargent held up a hand to silence her and smiled fondly, as if he was smiling at his daughter, or his favorite dog. "Jane, you earned your way into this department, I know you're not stupid. What you do and who you see, isn't any of my business. But I'm more than okay with it being Maura, and I know Frost is too. We've had our suspicions for some time."

Jane sighed, her body visibly deflating in relief, "thank you, Korsak." She didn't need to say more, she knew her former partner understood just how much it meant to her. Korsak smiled, then extended his smile to the ME. "I'm happy for both of you, really. You're good for each other."

Maura gave the Sargent a grateful smile, "we are," she agreed, mentally noting that she would send some chocolates to him, or some fancy dog treats. She knew that above all, his reaction was the one Jane was most afraid of. All she had was her job, and Korsak's opinion meant more to her than anyone else's.

Both women were silent on the trip to Maura's car, but as they got inside they caught each others eyes and began laughing in relief. "Well, that's one person!" Jane exclaimed, raising a fist in the air as if she'd scored some sort of points. Maura grinned at her, "well, I'm just glad he's got detective skills, because you didn't really tell him." Jane blushed, shoving Maura's arm playfully, "that was nerve-wracking! You do it next time!"

Maura's brows raised slightly, "well, I already told everyone in the lab about us today..." Jane looked at her in disbelief, "seriously? What did you say?"

"That I have a romantic interest in you that may or may not seep into the office, but will most certainly not interfere with work, and that I just wanted to make them aware."

Jane snorted. "Wow. Well. Try that with my Ma,"
