This is the last chapter. I hope you have enjoyed the ride!
It had been couple of weeks since they had heard anything from the lawyers. Although Maura tried not to express her worry around Jane, it was all beginning to feel unstable. The blond sat on her desk as she took a breath trying to clear her thought of all negative ones. Maura looked at her monitor as her screen saver revealed a picture of Jane and Maura kissing. The doctor smiled as she then took out her cellphone calling her now, girlfriend.
Hearing her cellphone ring, Jane leaned back on the couch to pull it out of her front pocket. Seeing Maura's name she unlocked the cell then answered the call. "Hey, babe." The smile she had could almost be heard through the phone.
"What are you wearing?" she giggles through the phone.
Jane chuckled. "Well I'm wearing my work out pants and a dark blue sports bra. I just got finished working out with that Perfect Pullup Bar you gave me."
"Mmm" Maura hummed as she but her bottom lip. "I shouldn't have asked." she whispered with a grin.
The criminal smirked. "No? And why is that. Are you picturing yourself with me right now?" Jane asked in a higher pitched questioning voice.
The blond cleared her throat as she tried to play it off "What? Me? No, I would never" she said smiling once again through the phone.
"No? That's disappointing. I'm thinking about being with you right now."
Dr. Isles laughed "Baby there isn't a moment I don't think about you and I together. It's kind of why I called" she stated leaning back on her chair.
"Yeah? Well is the door closed? Are you alone?"
"Yes, yes, and yeah" she giggled. "But no I was actually going to ask, before your mind wonders in dangerous territories, if you wanted to have dinner with me tonight. I want to take you somewhere" Maura grinned.
Jane chuckled. "Yeah, because my mind was on those territories." She thought about what Maura just asked. "I... I don't think I can babe. I'm kinda an escaped convict."
The woman chuckles " I figured." Maura then pauses "Baby no one will see you, can you jut trust me?" she asked.
"I trust you. Where we going to eat where no one can see me?" Jane's curiosity spiked.
"Leave that to your girlfriend all I ask is that you be ready by 8" she asked sweetly.
"Okay" The brunette smirked. "I'll be ready and waiting"
"I love you" the woman said with a smile.
"I love you too"
Dr. Isles hung up the phone as she took a deep breath. She then made a couple of calls and called in some favors, she wanted this night to be unforgettable. As eight came around, Maura closes up the office and drove home to her lover. Once there, she parked the car and went in. "Jane, baby, I'm home!" she called out.
Hearing Maura come in, Jane came out with a grin on along with black slacks and a purple button up shirt. Her hair was even in neater curls. "Hey, Maur." She smirked and walked towards her, greeting the woman with a kiss to the lips.
"Well hello there" she greeted back as her hand wrapped around the woman's neck loosely.
Jane grinned and snaked her arms around the shorter woman's waist. "Mm hi. So where we headed?"
"It's a surprise" she kissed the woman before giving her a tight hug and squeeze then let go.
"Okay, I'm kinda excited to see what you have up your sleeve. Lets go babe." She smirked and bounced out the door like a little kid.
Dr. Isles smiled watching Jane as she then closed the door behind her. She got in the car with the brunette and drove off "Hey" she said glanced to Jane.
Jane looked over at her girlfriend, and took her hand in her own. "Hey."
"Jane, I..." she paused squeezing the brunettes hand before looking back to the road.
Furrowing her brows, the convict squeezed Maura's hand lightly as well. "What? What is it baby?"
"I will do everything I can to make you a free woman again" the doctor stated.
The passenger brought the driver's fingers to her lips and kissed them. "I know you will. I trust you."
"I will not rest till I find every way possible" the blond added.
"I love you for that." Jane stated with a smile. Once they finally got to the place, Jane smirked over at her girlfriend before getting out of the car and looking around.
Maura walked over to her girlfriend as she took her hand. "The John Hancock Tower, Boston's tallest structure" the woman informed looking to Jane before walking to the entrance.
"I thought this looked familiar." She grinned. Once they went to the entrance, Jane looked toward the floor, allowing her hair to drape around her face to hide her identity as they walked.
"Don't worry, in a couple of minutes this whole building will be empty for you and I" Dr. Isles said taking Jane's hand as she walked in the elevator going all the way up to the roof.
"How in the world did you manage all of this?"
"I pulled some strings" she smiled as they got off the elevator to the roof. Once there, a table could be seen with candles, a bottle of wine, red roses, and dinner served.
"You are incredible, you know that?" Jane smiled looking at the scenery in front of her. Walking over to the table, the couple sat down. The criminal looked over at the beauty and smirked.
Maura reached over to take Jane's hand loving her expression. "This is the beginning baby" she whispered kissing the back of the fugitive's hand.
Jane smirked at Maura's words and kiss. "And I'm lovin' it." She bit her lip back and stared into her eyes. "So, what's the meaning behind this very romantic dinner, Maur?"
"I just wanted to do something nice for you Jane. I hate the fact that you have to be at the house all the time. It's almost as if you never left jail since you can't come out" the blond answered with half of a smile.
"Yeah well I would much rather be in your house with you. Being with you is much better than being in prison. Better food." She chuckled.
"Food huh? Is that why you're at my place all the time?" Maura giggled.
"Yeah that's pretty much why. I enjoy the food...especially the taco nights." She winked
"We haven't had tac..." she pause as she saw Jane's expression. "Oh! I umm I see.." she blushed.
The fugitive starter cracking up. "Yeah now ya see." While they laughed Maura's cell phone went off. It was the lawyers wanting to share some good news.
Dr. Isles answered as a bright smile came accessed her face. "Yes, we are in the middle of dinner but I'll see you guys after. Thank you once again" she said hanging up the phone before looking to her girlfriend.
"Who was that?"
"The lawyers, they said they have some great news for us. We have to meet them after dinner" she replied anxiously
"Great news?" Jane repeated. "That may mean I'm a free woman." She said with a grin and wide eyes.
"I could only be assuming but even in a situation like this, I can't be guessing" the doctor stated taking the woman's hand.
Jane held Maura's hand and nodded. "Okay okay. Well I won't get my hopes up until I hear the news. Lets eat this delicious meal before it gets cold."
"Yes let's" Dr. Isles kissed Jane's hand before letting go and looking to her food.
The brunette smiled and picked up her fork and took a bite of her fish. "Mm this is... oh my god.."
The blond nodded taking a bite with a smile then looking out to the Charles River.
After dinner was eaten, Jane sat back with her hand on her stomach. "Wow! Now that was dinner. You don't get that in prison." She chuckled. Reaching over she grabbed her glass of wine and finished off the last gulp. "Thank you for bringing me here tonight. It was perfect babe."
"You're very welcome Jane. Did you know that the river travels through 22 cities and towns until reaching the Atlantic Ocean?" she asked gazing out to the beautiful scenery.
"I know that now." Jane smirked. "And did you know that no matter what I look at what I think about what I say... I always end with you on my mind?"
Maura turned to look at the brunette "I did not know that" she blushed looking down.
"And now you do."

Once they left the building and got back into Maura's car, the blond drove off to the Lawyer's office. It was after hours for the two men but they were happy to help. Walking into the empty place, he, Mr. David Barkley, showed them to his personal office and asked the women to take a seat. Jane was a bit nervous. She tried to hide it but was playing with the scars on her hands.
Dr. Isles looked to Jane as she sat down and reached over taking her hand. "It's okay, whatever it is we'll be fine" the woman then offered a sweet smile.
Jane looked up to see the comforting eyes and smile of her girlfriend and immediately relaxed. Lacing her fingers with Maura's, the escapee looked at Barkley once he sat down at his desk. "So, what's the great news?"
Barkley look at both women as he smiled "Anxious are we?" he asked going through his files.
"Just a bit." Jane smiled and sat straighter in her chair.
Maura giggles as she nodded.
"Very well then" the lawyer began with a smirk. "So it seems to us that the Judge has decided to drop all charges against you" he paused looking to them before explaining any further.
Jane's brows raised. "Not that I'm complaining but... why?"
Dr. Isles felt a smile come across her face as she looked to Jane then to the lawyer.
"Well seems to him like it was all done in self defense. We dug around a bit and found a video from the night Dr. Maura Rizzoli and Jason white had an altercation" he tried not to go into details to much on what Maura went through. "We convinced him you saved Dr. Isles here and that the only reason you escaped was to continue protecting her. We might have extended the truth a bit and told him there were death threats from inside the jail done to the Doctor and you found out about it. They are very well aware of the rivalry between both mobs and understand how dangerous it could be. We were in luck that the judge and jury found that a bit romantic and insane therefore decided to you know, Set you free to continue with your duty and protecting the Doctor here" David stated leaning back on his chair with a grin.
There was a small grin that came across Jane's face very slowly as he continued to speak. "So.. I'm free? I'm free." The former enforcer looked over at Maura and grinned. "Who knew being romantic could get you outta jail?" There was such happiness in Rizzoli's eyes. Such relief and love.
Maura chuckled as she quickly leaned over to hug her not so criminal girlfriend. "Baby you're free! You are finally free" she whispered.
Jane hugged Maura back and smiled. Standing up she held her hand out to Barkley. "Thank you. So much." Shaking hands with him he chuckled.
"Get outta here, you two love birds. Go live your new life, Rizzoli."
Looking at her girlfriend, the chargeless woman grinned and walked out of the building and stood on the sidewalk taking her first breath of freedom.

It's been a few weeks since the news from the lawyer. I've kept my promises to Maura. I've changed. I've cleaned myself up. News had spread around to the mob families, that weren't yet in prison, that I was a free woman but we agreed to a truce since I killed Jason. For a woman to stand up to a man in his rank in the mob, the others saw it as respectable. I'm completely out of my former position as an enforcer and completely out of the business. Now I have a new job. It's temporary but Maura thinks that working in the cafe of the BPD would be good for me. Yeah, she's the one that got me the job. The boss makes me want to strangle him but.. I didn't say that.
I'm more in love than ever before. Maura is my everything. If not for her, I may not be alive today. I gave her a new promise. I promised to always be by her side. To love her and cherish her in every way possible for the rest of my life. I wanna marry the doctor some day and with working in the cafe I'm at least saving up for a promise ring.
I've found my reason for living... Maura Isles.
The End.
