Here you go, chapter 8. I'm sorry that I lost some of the readers for this story and I'll probably lose some more after this chapter but this is my story and I can write it in the way I want, as long as someone continuous reading I will continuing writing. Besides there are like 3000 other stories that you can read if you don't like this one.

And this will be Rizzles!

It was only when she was pinned to her front door that she realized what she had done.

"Would you like a glass of wine or a beer?" She asked politely but she just wanted to get a little more space between them.

After what Jane told her in the restaurant, about asking Kate to move in with her, Maura just wanted to forget all about it and this seemed like a good idea at the time but now she wasn't so sure anymore.

"Baby, I don't need anything else." Kevin said and started to kiss her neck.

Maura was trying to enjoy or at least tolerate what was going on but she couldn't. When she invited Kevin to come to her house her only thought was to forget about the beautiful Italian for a few hours. She didn't care that it had to be with a guy like Kevin, or at least at the time she didn't but as he kept on touching her, she couldn't help the way her mind trailed off to Jane and the way she breathed in relief when Maura said Kevin wasn't her type. She felt disgusted that she said that to Jane and yet, she had brought him home anyway and she hated the fact that she was giving Kevin what he wanted.

"I think we should take it slow." Maura said in another attempt to get him to stop.

"Kevin!" She said when he was about to take his hands a little too far underneath her dress. He looked up at her but then continued anyway. "Kevin, I mean it!" She pushed him away harshly this time.

"What?" He yelled at her.

"I would like for you to get out please." She was afraid. This guy wasn't that big but he was still a lot stronger that Maura.

"What?" He asked trying to look calmer. She stared at him with fire burning in her eyes. "Okay, okay." He said and walked up to her. "I'm sorry but I thought that this was what you wanted." He stepped closer to her again and had raised his hand to cup her face but she stopped him again.

"I think you should go." She said. She was looking away from him as he tried unsuccessfully to make her look at him.

"I'm sorry okay? We can go slow if that's what you want." But he didn't wait for an answer as he started kissing her again.

"I would really prefer if you left please." He looked at her and then finally pulled away.

"Fine." He said mad. "Fine." He said again and went to the door. "It's your loss anyway." He said as he walked past her on his way to the door.

Maura watched the black car drive away from her house before allowing herself to let a tear roll down her face. She sat down on the floor and her back hit the wall. She thought back at the day that they signed the papers to get the custody of Jack. In her mind that was the day that they truly became a family and she would never forget the way Jane had lifted her in the air when they left the court house. She remembered the way Jane was smiling at her the whole trip back home and the words she spoke to her son that night as she put him to sleep. Most of all she remembered the words that Jane said to her when they were alone on her couch drinking some champagne that Jane had bought on the way back just because she didn't want to pass this event without celebrating.

"Here you go." She said and handed me a full glass of champagne.

"Thank you." I said and watched her sit next to me on the couch.

She watched me with a smile and then raised her glass.

"Let's make a toast." She said.

I turned to her a little more so that we were facing each other and raised my glass waiting for her to speak.

"To the most amazing human being I've ever got the chance to meet." She said and by this time I wasn't sure who she was talking about exactly.

"I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done for me. Without you any of this would be impossible." She continued.

"You don't have to thank me Jane." I said and her shoulders fell immediately as she looked upset at what I had just said. "Are you kidding me Maura. If it wasn't for you I would still be driving myself crazy with all the papers and forms and crap. You were the one with all the important contacts and stuff. I'm serious Maura. If it wasn't for you, Jack wouldn't be mine. He wouldn't be ours."

She hold my hand. She was staring into my eyes in a way that she had never done before, I didn't want it to ever end but it did faster than I expected, she raised her glass again and finished.

"So," She cleared her throat. "A toast to you, for always being here for me and for being the best, kindest, smartest, sweetest person I know. To a life full of happiness with Jack. To our little weird family. Thank you! And thank you for being my best friend." She gave me a hug and I was trying so hard not to let her see me cry that I almost missed her sweet whisper in my hear telling me she loved me. I'm not normally one to cry… It was weird because I was happy but I was sad at the same time because even though I had the person I've wanted for a long time hugging me right now, it wasn't in the way I wanted.


I know this one was a shorter one but I'll try to update soon :)
