I'm so sorry for the extremely late update.

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

"Maura is coming home today." Jane said smiling at Kate.

"I know." She said on the other side of the bed pulling the sheets a little bit tighter. "Jake is over the moon about it." She said through grind teeth. Kate knew Jane for about three weeks and Jake for only a bit longer than a week but she fell in love with him the second she met him. She knew that their relationship was moving a lot faster than normal but she wasn't scared at all. One thing that she had learned from all her failed relationships was to take chances, however when it came to this woman that she didn't even know yet, she felt jealous because she knew that she would never have such a good relation with Jake as the one that Maura shared with him.

"Her flight arrives at five so I will pick her up from the airport after work, then pick-up Jake from daycare and then we can all grab dinner at my place." Jane said excited totally missing the contempt on Kate's face.

"I didn't knew we were having dinner?"

"I told you we were having dinner when Maura arrived home again so that you two could get to know each other." She said a little confused.

"I know but I didn't realize it would be on the day of her arrival. I mean, won't she be tired or something?"

"You obviously don't know Maura." She said smiling at the thought of her best friend.

"Obviously." Kate said throwing the pillows in Jane direction hitting her in the face both times. Jane laughed, took her time fixing the pillows on the bed and then went after Kate to the kitchen where she was already starting on making breakfast. It was early so Jake was still sleeping and the house was quiet but not for long.

"What was that?" She asked snuggling Kate and placing her chin on her shoulder.

"What was what?" Kate asked as well a little more bitter.

"You're being silly, you know?" Jane said walking away from her feeling a little hurt.

"Am I?" Kate asked a little bit louder than she expected. After that they both stopped what they were doing and looked at each other.

"I 'm sorry." Kate said looking at the floor. "I'm sorry, you're right. I am. I'm sorry." Jane only nodded and continued the search for milk in the fridge. Kate stayed in the same position a bit longer just staring at her beautiful girlfriend." It's just that..." She said much calmer but immediately regretting.

"What?" Jane asked with her head buried in the fridge still looking for the milk.

"Never mind" Kate answered turning around to continue what she was doing.

"Tell me." Jane said finally taking her head out of the fridge.

"I guess that I just don't understand the relationship between you two." She shared.

"We are best friends and have been for a long time and we are raising Jake together, what is so hard to understand?" She asked genuinely confused.

"I just think that it's weird that two best friends are raising a child together."

"Why is it weird?"

"I don't know, it just is… like if my best friend had a baby and was raising him by herself I wouldn't raise him with her, I would just give her my support and be there for whatever she needed but that was about it."

"I guess that just means that you are not Maura." Jane said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"I know that." Kate shouts. "What I meant was... forget it."

"No, tell me."

"It's just the way you know her so well and everything, I just thought that maybe you two could have been... you know..." She said looking at Jane who gave her a questioning look. "A couple" She finally said with a look even more questionable than Jane's.

"What?" Jane asked looking kind of shocked.

"You're telling me that nothing ever happened between you two?"

"Of course not!" Jane said still surprised.

"And you never wanted something to happen?"

Suddenly Jane's expression changed to discomfort and worry, she didn't even know what to say or think. She wanted Kate to know that Maura was just her best friend and nothing has ever happened between the two of them but instead she slowly excused herself from the kitchen by telling Kate that it was getting late and she had to wake Jake up.

When five o'clock finally arrived Jane had done a lot of work back in bullpen. They spend the day filling paperwork since they didn't had any case so she tried to do as much paperwork as she could through the day so that she could leave early, which she had the privilege to do ever since she had Jake but she hardly ever used it.

She got up from her chair and was putting her blazer on when Frost caught her.

"Is everything okay?" He asked.

"Yes , why?" She asked while gathering her gun and badge from the desk drawer.

"It's just that you never go home early unless there's like an emergency, I thought that maybe Jake was sick or something."

"No, everything is fine." She said looking at her partner. "I'm just going to pick Maura from the airport." She said smiling at him.

"Doc's coming back today?" He asked smiling back.

"Finally, I don't know how much longer I could've put up with Pike!" Korsak intervened from behind his desk.

"That and the fact that we all missed her very much, right guys?" She said playfully while being serious at the same time.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, but she's coming tomorrow right?" Frost said playful as well.

"Yes. Alright guys, see you tomorrow." She said rushing to the door.

Jane got to the airport at five thirty and was worried that Maura would already be there waiting for her but when she saw that Maura's flight was late she was relieved. It was five forty five and Maura's flight hadn't arrived yet. Jane was sitting in a chair in the waiting area playing with her phone almost falling asleep. She was so bored that she didn't notice people coming out of the arrival gates and Maura getting closer. She left her bags within a safe distance and sat quietly next to Jane.

"I expected a little more enthusiasm from someone you haven't seen in a month." She said grinning.

Jane immediately lifts her head up and smiles at Maura pulling her into a hug.

"Oh Maura, I'm sorry!" She said taking her time hugging her friend. "It's so good to see you!" She said finally breaking the hug.

"It's good to see you too!" She said smiling at Jane. "How is everything, how is Jake?" She asked "I've missed him so much."

"He hasn't stopped talking about you all month. Come on, let's go get him!" She said excited as she grabbed Maura hand with one of her own and her bags with the other.

So, did you like it? Let me know! :)
