This was a good update right? The next will take a while though. Sorry!
Disclaimer: Still don't own a thing!
Kate arrived at Jane's apartment half an hour late because she had been stuck at work. Stopping at the door she heard laughter coming from inside the house that made her stomach crunch a little. She knelt down to get the key from under the doormat realizing for the first time that she didn't had a key of her own yet. She opened the door and placed her things away and then went to the kitchen where the voices where coming from. She heard Jake asking for more apple juice and a strange voice happily granting him his so wanted juice. She entered the kitchen and found the so known Maura holding Jake on the island; Jane was nearby cooking dinner. Her presence went unnoticed by everyone in the room so she walked further into the kitchen greeting everyone. Starting with Jane.
"Hi babe." She said giving Jane a long kiss. She turned to Maura, who was so surprised that her eyes could fall out of her orbits, and gave her hand.
"Hi, you must be Maura." Maura composed herself and shook her hand. "I'm Kate, it's a pleasure to finally meet you, I've heard a lot about you."
"The pleasure is all mine." Maura said still shocked.
"Hi Jake." Kate said giving the boy a little rub on the back of the neck.
The little boy ignored her and continued to play with Maura's hair but Maura scolded him and he greeted Kate back with a genuine smile.
The dinner had gone as Jane thought it would be. All of them had been talking but it was a little awkward.
When Jake started to get a little cranky Jane was trying to get him to sleep but the little guy only wanted to go with Maura. It took him two bed time stories but he finally was calmly lying under the covers ready to sleep.
"I missed you." The boy said just as he was about to fell asleep.
"I've missed you too." Maura whispered and gave him a kiss on his forehead. "Sleep tight sweetheart."
Maura walked back to the living room where Jane and Kate were laughing at a story that Kate was telling. She took a while seeing them interact. Jane was sitting on the edge of the couch and Kate was sitting next to her. They were turned to each other and Kate was playing with one of Jane's curls, she watched as they kissed. When they finally pulled away Jane saw Maura out of the corner of her eye.
"That took a while." She said smiling at Maura who was trying to hide her discomfort.
"Yes, but I didn't mind." She said smiling. "Well, it's getting late, I should be going."
"Already? It's still early." Jane said smiling as an invitation for Maura to stay a bit longer.
"I know but I still have to unpack my bags and I was looking forward to go to work early in the morning."
"Yes, of course. I'll take you." Jane said already grabbing her keys and jacket.
The car ride to Maura's house was quiet. Jane answered questions, mostly about Kate, that Maura casually made. They pulled on Maura's drive way and Maura prepared to leave but Jane stopped her with a question Maura wasn't expecting.
"So, what do you think of her?" Jane asked looking a little embarrassed.
Maura face almost fell to the ground. Jane continued to look at her waiting for an answer but as minutes passed Maura still didn't had one.
"Your opinion is kind of important to me, Maura." She said.
"Oh, of course." Maura said starting to fidget. "Well, I don't really know her that well ..."
"But did you like her? You seemed a little off." Jane interrupted her. At this point they were both getting out of the car to get Maura's luggage from the trunk.
"I was a little surprised that's all." She justified.
"Huh. Okay." Jane waited for Maura to open the front door." Well, you will like her when you get to know her a little better."
"If you say so." Maura spoke a little down.
Jane noticed the sadness on her voice. She understands why Maura was acting like that, it was the same way Frankie reacted. He was surprised at first because his sister was dating a woman but once he realized that that was what Jane wanted and makes her happy he supported her, and so did Frost and Korsak. They never told her anything bad about it, they were just happy for her and Jane wanted Maura to be happy as well.
"Look, I know that this is a lot to take in but I'm happy, Kate makes me happy and I know I'm being selfish to ask you this but can you at least try to like her?" Jane said while dropping Maura's bags near the stairs.
Maura analyzed Jane's words carefully. She didn't know what to answer, or what she wanted to answer.
"Of course Jane. It's not that hard to understand." She said giving Jane a little smile.
Jane smiled back and then went near Maura in the kitchen.
"Thank you, that means a lot to me." She said and hugged Maura. Maura hugged her back and tried to prolong it as long as she could so that Jane didn't noticed the tears that were forming in her eyes.
"I better get going." Jane broke the hug. "I'll see you tomorrow. " She said as she walked out of the door."
Maura watched as Jane left, she went to get her baggage and moved it to the bedroom. As she went to her closet to change into something more comfortable she tried to find answers for all the questions that were running through her mind. She wondered when in the past month Jane had fallen in love with Kate. And Jake, he didn't seem to enjoy her company that much. And what about Angela, has she met her already, did she approve?
Somehow Maura felt betrayed, Jane had told her that she was seeing someone but not the gender. She wasn't prepared for this, all this time she had thought that Jane was straight. Why wouldn't she think that Jane was straight? Aside of their extreme close relationship she never had any reason to think that Jane was into women whatsoever. Because had she known, she would have never let her go.
Reviews? :)
