Disclaimer: I don't own Rizzoli & Isles because if I did they would already be together on the show! I swear they play with my emotions.
A/N: So all of my lovely people I'm thinking this will be it. It's been forever since I've even attempted a Rizzles fic before now. I wouldn't be against attempting a longer multi-chapter fic if an idea ever struck.
Jane's P.O.V.
Flashback
I can't believe today is finally happening! I finally get to marry the woman of my dreams and the day is only made better by all of our friends and family being here accepting us. I was a little afraid Frankie and Tommy would be an issue but after some time they learned to accept us. Surprisingly Constance already thought we were dating when we told her about us.
"Jane, sweetheart, are you okay?" Ma walks in already wearing her dress for the wedding.
"Yeah ma just kind nervous. I never thought this day would come and now that it's here I'm freaking the fuck out." I say as I start pacing resisting the urge to run my fingers through my hair.
"Janie language and please try and calm down. Maura looks absolutely beautiful in her dress and you look very handsome in your suit. This wedding is happening before you even think for a second that she might change her mind." Ma says like she can actually read my mind.
"Okay, okay you're right nothing going to go wrong today right? Right!" I say starting to talk to myself as I continue to pace.
"Jane Clementine Rizzoli, if you don't calm down you're going to sweat through your suit. I don't think you want to get married while smelling like you just walked off the basketball court." I sigh deeply as I finally stop pacing and start fidgeting with my fingers.
"Ma, this all just feels so real and I'm honestly afraid I'm going to wake up and it'll all be a dream. This is all I've wanted since the day I met Maura." I watch as ma walks up to me and pulls me into a much needed hug.
"Oh Janie, I promise you this isn't a dream. In a few minutes you're going to stand at the altar and wait for Maura to walk down the aisle with her father. You two are going to get married and it's going to be everything you hoped for." Ma says as I wrap my arms around her nodding.
"How do you always know just what to say ma?" I chuckle softly as I wipe my hands on my suit again.
"It's in the mother handbook I received when you were born. Now let's get this show on the road before I have to give you another pep talk." Ma says as she starts pushing me towards the door.
End flashback
Ma was right the wedding was everything I could have ever possibly hoped for. It's been almost 3 months and 7 months since I was released from the hospital they've been the best 7 months of my entire life. I was honestly afraid I wasn't cut out for the married life before I met Maura, but she has always found a way to change me for the better.
"Jane, my darling, are you okay?" Maura asks in concern as she comes to sit down next to me on our bed.
Not long after I finally got out of the hospital Maura asked me to move in with her and by the end of the weekend I was officially moved in. Tommy and Frankie helped after many threats from ma.
"I'm okay I've just been thinking about how amazing the last few months have been. Kinda makes me regret not telling you sooner that you were it for me." I chuckle softly as I wrap my arm around her waist pulling her closer.
"How about we just focus on the present and not worry about the past anymore? You're all mine and I'm all yours that's all that matters now." Maura says as she gently kisses my cheek before standing up to finish getting ready for work.
I nod silently as I watch her go. She's right, but my life has never been this amazing and drama free I can't help but feel like something going to happen.
"Jane, if you keep sitting there we're going to be late. Remember happened last time we were late?" I roll my eyes as I remember the guys ragging me practically all day about how I couldn't seem to keep it in my pants long enough to make it to work on time.
"Hey, they're all just mad because I can actually get some and have you seen you? They're clearly jealous because I have the hottest wife in the universe." I say with a cheeky smile as I rush to finish getting ready.
"Charming as always darling." Maura chuckles from the bathroom as she finishes applying her unnecessary makeup.
"Hey this charm get you to marry me now didn't it?" I say with a cheeky smile as I rush to finish getting ready for work.
About 15 minutes later we're walking out the door and headed towards the precinct. I always hate when Maura and I have to part ways for work, but luckily I'll get to see her during our standard lunch date.
"Look at that if you had just waited one more minute we could have tagged you all day!" Korsak says as he leans back in his car to look at me.
"Korsak we've been over this. You really need to stop being jealous that I'm getting some on a daily basis and you're not. Jealousy isn't healthy." I tease as I take a seat at my desk. I try and keep the mood light to distract myself from this nagging feeling in my gut.
"Jane, what's wrong? You didn't hear a single word I just said and I know you have a snappy comeback at the ready." I look up and see Korsak giving me a concerned stare.
"Oh nothing really just a strange feeling I can't place. No need to worry about it right now." I shrug as I begin working on the ever growing pile of paperwork constantly littering my desk.
I can tell that Korsak wants to press the issue but thankfully he decides not too. When Frankie arrives he immediately knows somethings off but he too decides to leave me along for the time being.
I couldn't be more excited when lunch time finally rolls around. I quickly collect my stuff before all but running to the elevator. "Tell the good doctor we said hi." Korsak shouts after me in between laughing. I don't even care if they make fun of me. Being around Maura always helps me feel better.
As I walk into the morgue I don't even stop to allow the chill to catch up with me. I head straight for Maura's office hoping she's ready to leave. I knock a few times before entering.
I smile softly as I see Maura intensely focused on her computer screen, and I'm willing to bet my paycheck for the next month that she's looking at shoes. I quietly creep closer until I'm standing right beside her.
"I was right!" I shout effectively scaring the living hell out of my beloved wife.
"Jane! You really should announce yourself!" Maura says as she grabs her chest in shock as she quickly tries to exit out of several opened pages of expensive shoes.
"I knocked and everything, but you my love were distracted by all the pretty pretty shoes." I say with a chuckle as I lean down to kiss her cheek.
"I….well….it's just that…." I watch as Maura gives me a pitiful pout before I finally throw her a bone.
"Maura just because we're married doesn't mean you have to justify why you're buying shoes. I love the fact that you have almost a million pairs lining literally every closet in our house." I chuckle as Maura playfully rolls her eyes at me.
"Jane, must you hyperbolize everything? I don't have that many shoes honestly. By the way did you need something?" Maura says as she turns to face me.
"Yes, I wanted to have lunch with my beautiful shoe obsessed wife." I say as I walk over to grab her coat while she collects her things.
"Oh my time passed rather quickly. I'm sorry sweetheart I didn't know it was already that late." Maura says as she frantically begins to gather her things together.
"Don't worry about it baby I understand it can get rather boring down here sometimes. I would have been down to visit earlier, but I'm really behind on my paperwork." I say with a guilty smile as Maura once again rolls her eyes at me.
"Jane, haven't we talked about this? If you just did your paperwork in a timely manner this wouldn't be a problem." Maura says as she walks over to me to slide on her jacket that I'm holding out for her. I must say I kinda enjoy it when my wife nags me.
"Yes, yes I know but where's the fun in that? Being able to cram paperwork brings me so much joy." I say with an eye roll of my own.
"Your ability to procrastinate and still get your work done truly amazes me." Maura chuckles as she reaches out her hand to lace our fingers together.
"That's because I'm truly dedicated to my craft. Now where would you like to eat love?" I ask as we walk into the elevator still holding hands. Sometimes when I look over at Maura it's hard to believe that I got this beautiful creature to marry me. I truly am the luckiest person in the world.
"Jane, you're staring again." Maura says with a faint smile as I feel her squeeze my hand gently. I couldn't resist pulling her closer.
"You're breathtakingly beautiful so really it's your own fault I'm staring." I say with a signature Rizzoli smirk. I smile as I lean over to kiss her, but am rudely interrupted by the ding of the elevator arriving on the ground floor.
Maura and I walk out of the elevator with smiles on our faces that are quickly wiped off when I see who's standing at the front desk. I feel Maura stiffen next to me as she gives me an unsure glance. "Jane…." she trails off softly. I lean over to kiss her before I drop her hand and begin to cause a scene.
"What in the hell are you doing back here Casey?" I growl as I walk over to him easily causing everybody in my path to move to safer ground.
He turns around with a cocky smile on his face that I plan to knock off. "I was actually here to see you Jane. It's been a while." He says softly as I feel him checking me out. I chuckle softly as I hear Maura release a faint growl from behind me. Little known fact about my lovely wife, she is rather possessive in the most sexy way imaginable.
"Hello Lt. Col. Jones it's such a pleasure to see you after all this time." Maura says as she moves to stand beside me placing her hand on the small of my back.
"Yeah hi Maura." Casey says as he never takes his eyes off of me. I feel Maura's hand wrap around my waist more pulling me closer.
"I'm curious to know what you're doing back here after all this time. Are you in town visiting your family?" Maura asks running her hand along my side trying to keep me calm and control the situation.
"I'm actually back to see Jane. I've missed you Jane and was hoping we could take another shot at us." Casey says giving me a hopeful smile that I'm more than happy to wipe off his face.
"Casey you don't understand how happy I am to stay this, but you're too late. I'm already taken for good this time." I say as I hold up my hand for him to see my wedding band.
I watch the hopeful smile slid off his face and is quickly replaced with a look of pure anger. "So you'll go off and marry some random guy, but you wouldn't marry me? Who is the guy? What's his man?" Casey shouts drawing the attention of everybody standing in the lobby.
"Casey I can understand that you're upset, but you really should go around assuming things the way you are. It is unfair of you to yell without having all of the information." I look over at Maura and see that she has sinister smile on her face.
"Well if she answered my goddamn questions I wouldn't be yelling. Now mind your own damn business! I'm here to talk to Jane not you." He growls as he stares me down.
"If I were you Casey I would watch how you speak to my wife. I'm not afraid to kick your ass right here and now." I growl as he looks at me as though I've suddenly grown a second head.
"Wait…..you…..and Maura…..wife?" He looks between us a few more times before his eyes settle on the arm Maura has wrapped around my waist. I know he can see her matching wedding band. "Is this a fucking joke?" He growls and he clenches his fist.
"Wait, do you honestly believe that you're relevant enough for me to actually marry my best friend just to fuck with you? You must be kidding!" I growl back as I feel Maura tighten her hand around my waist.
"I wasn't even aware that you were gay! What the hell Jane? Did our relationship actually mean anything to you?!" He shouts as he throws his hands in the air.
"It meant a hell of a lot more to me than it ever meant to you!" I shout feeling all the resentment I used to hold towards him coming back like a tidal wave.
"I asked you to fucking marry me! Clearly it meant a hell of a lot to me!" Casey shouts as he moves closer to us causing Maura to growl softly again.
"Casey are you kidding me? Yes, you wanted to marry Jane, but you also wanted her to quit her job and become some kind of army wife. That's not who she is, but you just couldn't accept that! So you left her like you always do, and she cried over you for a little while and then she moved on." Maura says as she takes a step closer towards Casey as a challenge.
"If she had just given it a chance I sure she would have adjusted to it just fine!" Does he even understand how much bullshit that is?
"Why should she have to adjust to anything? Jane loves her job and she doesn't want to move away from her family. If you had truly loved her you would have accepted that, but you didn't. Instead you ran away like you always do, and now you're mad because Jane moved on with somebody who truly loves and cares about her." Maura says as she glares Casey down.
"I did, I mean I do love Jane!" Casey sounds like he's trying to convince himself more than he's trying to convince us.
"Casey let's be real here. A marriage never would have worked out for us. Even if I had moved away with you and quit my job over time I would have grown to resist you." I sigh wishing this conversation wasn't occurring in such a public area.
"You never even gave it a chance. I'm sure over time you would have grown to be okay with it Jane. You would have made a fantastic housewife." Casey says with a sneer as he looks at Maura who hasn't moved from her spot slightly in front of me.
"Jane isn't meant to be a housewife Casey. She's a detective and a damn good one too. Her job and her family are the most important things to her and you tried to take both of them anyway." Damn it's really hot when Maura curses.
"Don't pretend like it was the only offer I made. I tried to compromise by offering to quit the military and become a house husband if that's what Jane wanted." Casey says as he glares at Maura.
"And then you would have grown to resent me! Honestly Casey I don't even understand why we're even standing here going through this right now. I'm married to Maura now so there is no chance for us. I love her more than I ever loved you, and I'm sorry that sounds mean but it's true. Ever since I first met Maura she's done nothing but support me and be there for me. She's never tried to change me or make me into somebody I'm not. Unfortunately I can't say the same about you Casey. I'm sorry, but you made this trip for nothing. I wish you the best of luck in life or whatever people say, but this chapter of my life ended a while ago. Goodbye Casey." I grab Maura's hand and try to leave, but she won't move as she continues to stare Casey down.
"Based on what little you probably know about me Casey you must know that I'm not known for doing anything without analyzing it in every way I can. Jane and I did not just get married on a whim. I truly love Jane and have in fact been in love with her for years. You had your chance Casey please don't try to ruin mine." Maura says softly.
"You better not hurt her or I'll be on the next flight here to kick your ass. You being a woman doesn't matter." Casey says as both of them talk as though I'm not here.
"I'll buy the plane ticket for you." Maura says with a faint smile.
I watch as Casey nods his head slowly as he rubs the back of his neck sighing. "Are you happy?" He asks as he finally looks at me again. All anger from before is gone and now I just see sadness.
"I can honestly say I've never been happier Casey." I say softly as I feel Maura squeeze my head making me smile.
"Well then if you're happy I guess this is where I make my exit. Goodbye Jane." He says as he walks out of the precinct with his shoulders hanging in defeat.
"Jane, darling, how about we skip going to lunch and instead head home for the day. I could really use a nap after today plus I know a headache is beginning to form so we should take care of that." Another reason I love my wife she's like a freaking mind reader or something.
"Yet another reason why I married you. It's like you can reader my mind or something." I chuckle softly as I start start walking towards our car instead of the deli down the street.
"Jane, you know it's impossible to read a person's mind. I have just dedicated a lot of time learning as much as I can about you. For example your eyebrows start to scrunch up whenever a headache is beginning to form." Wait did she just say scrunch?
"Did you just say scrunch up? You're not going to go all Google on me?" I say with a faint laugh as I see Maura rolling her eyes at me out of the corner of my eye.
"I thought you would prefer the non-scientific version since you do have a headache and I would hate to make it worse." Maura quickly grabs my keys and gently leads me to the passenger side of the car.
"Do you know how much I love you?" I ask as I lean back against the car pulling Maura to stand in-between my legs.
"I do believe I have a good idea. Do you know how much I love you?" Maura asks as she leans forward to kiss me gently.
"If that very hot display between you and Casey meant anything then I'd say a hell of a lot." I say with a soft smile.
"I told you in the hospital that it's my turn and I meant it. I'm not letting anybody get in my way not even him. So if he wished to fight then I was willing to for you." She says with a faint blush on her beautiful face.
"As sexy as that would have been I don't think it would have been necessary, but thank you. Now I need you to get us home as fast as you can because I do believe you deserve a reward for your bravery." I say with a wink as I slide into the car.
I watch Maura rush to her side as fast as she can in her insanely high heels. Dear god do I love this woman.
A/N 2: I do apologize for this very very late update. My life has taken a bit of a turn for the worst and it's been rather taxing which left me little time to write.
