Hello my lovely dears! You've all been soooo very patient! And I'm so glad to have such great readers! I think this is how I'd like to end it! (If you know me at all, this probably shouldn't surprise you) If you don't like it-I may be up to writing an alternative ending-maybe! But I believe this is the last chapter! So with that in mind-here we go!
The bar became eerily silent as the patrons watched Maura throw the door open and storm out. They turned their attention to Jane. What the hell just happened? She sat there, eyes wide. Did she just-and then I-and then she just-what? Jane couldn't believe what she had just heard. More than a friendship? A taller man came over to her and sat across from her.
"Is there a reason you're still here?" he asked pointedly.
"Uh-well I-I don't know what to do!" she said.
"GO AFTER HER!" the entire bar seemed to echo with the patrons' simultaneous response.
Jane shot up and ran out the door. "Maura wait!"
I am so-completely unintelligent! Maura thought to herself as she continued down the sidewalk. The rain was pouring down her body, soaking her to the bone. Why was I so-impulsive! She let out an exasperated grunt. And it's all her fault! Maura clenched her fists and kept walking.
"Maura wait!" she heard a faint voice call out to her over the rain. She turned to see a soaking Jane come running after her. Maura kept walking. "Damnit Maura wait!" Jane called.
She turned around quickly and stopped. "What do you want Jane?"
"Well for starters I want you to quit looking at me like you want to punch my lights out."
Maura remained unmoved.
"Come on Maur! What's your problem?"
Maura strode up to Jane and stood toe to toe with her. "You Jane Rizzoli! YOU ARE MY PROBLEM!" she shouted.
"I said I was sorry!" she spouted. "I can only do so much!"
"Do you see? Right there! What you just did-oh forget it!" Maura turned away from Jane and continued to walk away.
Jane caught up and grabbed her by the wrist turning her to face her.
"Maura just tell me what you want!"
"I want you, you idiot!" Maura stood inches away from Jane. "I want you-" she stopped and shook her head. "I want you! And you haven't even noticed! It's not like I was being subtle!" She stated.
"Maura I-"
"Jane-don't." Maura held her hand up. She sighed. "I'm in love with you Jane. I'm in love with my best friend, the only friend I've ever had and I can't handle it any more, nor can I stay quiet any longer on the matter." She took a deep breath and wiped the rain droplets off her face. "And I just-can't believe that you haven't figured it out! You're a detective for Christ's sake! One would think that you would have enough common sense to put two and two togeth-
Jane had had just about enough of Maura and her talking. She grabbed the small doctor by her waist and pulled her in for a long kiss. She ran her hand through the doctor's hair. When she finally pulled away, she put her forehead against Maura's and sighed. "I love you too you dumb genius!" she whispered. "And for the record, I'm not a mind reader-"
Maura laughed. "Jane it's impossible to read minds!"
"It also seems impossible for you to shut up."
'Jane I-"
"Hey Maura-"
"I'm shutting up." Jane laughed as she kissed the doctor again. There is no way in hell I'm ever going to let her go.
"Jane-" Maura pulled away.
"Hmm." She asked.
"How's your back?" he doctor asked seductively.
"Oh hush!" Jane laughed as she kissed her once more.
Jane shot up out of bed in a cold sweat, breathing heavily. She put a hand to her forehead and looked around. What the- She looked over to see Maura laying on her backside, fully clothed. She began to stir.
"Jane-are you alright?" she asked as she rubbed her hands over her face.
Holy shit-it was all just-a dream? "Uh-I'm fine-just uh-whew. Just had a crazy dream, that's all."
"Oh, well alright then." Maura said as she slid out of bed. "I'm going to make breakfast. Would you like something?"
"Coffee. Coffee would be great."
"Alright." Maura replied as she shimmied into the kitchen. Jane sat back in the bed and let out an exasperated breath. " Hey Maura-I have something to tell you!"
And there it is! The epic conclusion! Thank you guys so much for staying with me! As always, tell me what you think!
