AN: Right, thanks for the feedback you guys. We're heading towards clarity I swear.

Like mature adults, none of them had any regrets or concerns about the activities they had engaged in. It was the next step that left doubts. So after calming down from their high, they peeled themselves from each other and went to take a shower. To reduce the awkwardness and ease the tension (and to think) they showered separately. Confident she was sober enough from that very thrilling orgasm, and shower, Jane sauntered back to Maura's room in a tank and a pair of pyjama shorts. The doctor was (surprisingly) already in bed.
''You coming?'', Maura felt compelled to ask after Jane had been standing by the door for a while.
''Just admiring the view from here. You're really beautiful you know?''
''Well then we make a striking pair, because I could say the same about you''. Maura was lying on her side and Jane jumped into bed immediately spooning her from behind.
''Does this ummm…?''
''What?'', Maura chuckled a little. Jane was cute when she was at a loss for words.
''And now I'm being laughed at''
''Just ask Jane. You don't have to do that round about thing you do''
''Fine'', she paused for a long time, in which Maura waited patiently. ''Does this make us an official, umm, couple now'', she faltered a bit.
''I would like that very much Jane. How do you feel about it?''
''I'd like that too Maura''
The blonde turned in Jane's arm and kissed her lovingly. ''I love you''
''I love you too''. After thinking a little, the brunette asked again. ''When do you want to tell people?''
''I can't say I will be able to keep this quiet Jane. I am that happy'', Maura shyly averted her eyes from Jane.
''Good thing you won't need to''
Thursday morning
Maura's 6am alarm woke both sleeping women instantly. As if they had been doing it for years, Maura was neatly tucked along Jane's side, resting her head on the brunette rising and falling chest. Jane was holding on to her as if ensuring she doesn't escape her hold.
''Morning'', Jane groggily said, tugging Maura a little more.
''Good morning Jane''
A serene air of silence befell them as last night's events were remembered.
''So what are you going to do on your second day off?'', Maura chartered into safer territory.
''Gee, I donno. Clean my place'', they both laughed. ''seriously! I've been meaning to do that a while now but simply didn't have the time''
''That's it?'', Maura propped herself on one elbow to get a better look at the woman she thought was starting to lose her mind.
''Figured by the time I'm done it will be dinner''
''You're very funny you know. People who take time off usually have something in mind''
Jane shook her head a little, the blonde had no idea how well thought out Jane's 'vacation' time was – no idea.
''Well. I could take you to work, then take you out for lunch, and then come to get you after work. I will do my cleaning in between. That way my day is already set'', Jane beamed feeling very proud of herself.
''My Jane'', Maura slowly mused. ''you certainly amaze me. Every single day''
''I hope I live to my expectations tomorrow….'',she punctuated with a kiss. ''…. And the day after'', another kiss, ''….and the day after'', one more kiss, ''…till forever''.
The light kisses couldn't be kept within those boundaries. Jane's strong arms quickly turned Maura over so she was on her back. The brunette reverently kisses her on the lips. Then went further down to her neck, sucking a little harder when Maura let out that moan that drove Jane crazy. Long darker fingers were quick to wonder and delightfully landed on pale full breasts. The hardened nipple was deliciously sucked into a warm mouth then released with a plop. Maura's hips rocked of their own volition as Jane did the same to the other breast. Their first sexual encounter might have been a little reserved because of nerves, but this time around Jane wasn't planning on holding back.
The detective lifted both of Maura's legs by the knees and split the apart as if she were about to give birth, but didn't let go of them. It was on par with impossible to keep her noises level, the things Jane was doing to her were screaming to be vocalized. Wet kisses were planted all over Maura's stomach, with teeth grazing erratically. Jane only had two hands and couldn't touch every part of Maura's body at the same time. This obviously proved to be an issue for the doctor, who was now roughly kneading her own breasts and panting desperately.
When Jane lowered herself fully on Maura, she wasn't surprised to feel the wetness from the blonde spread over her abdomen. And when Maura arched herself further into Jane, the detective not only felt the warm juices, but heard them as they produced a sloppy sound from the friction. That was enough to boost Jane into action. Her mouth gravitated towards its destination with absolute ease. Maura couldn't plead with her mouth; it was making other noises of its own. Intelligent and meaningful words had long lost her; she only hoped her body could speak for her this one time. And it did. When Jane pressed her soft lips against Maura's folds, she saw a small gush of fluid exit the woman's pussy. It was a sight to be remembered.
''Oh Maura….honey'', Jane was at a loss, but sincerely wanted something to say.
''Yes….''. Maura surprised herself. She wasn't sure she could even come up with a word at this point. Her forehead was sweaty, fist-fulls of sheets held tightly by her sides, heart beating raggedly inside of her.
''I'm still trying to believe I can do this to you'', she hungrily looked at Maura's waiting, wet pussy, as if to emphasize what she meant. There was no point in doing that. The blonde had her eyes tightly shut eagerly anticipating Jane's next action.
''Oh believe Jane. You…..ahhh…can do so much more''. She shifted her hips upward and met Jane's lips again. This time the brunette parted her folds with her tongue. Oh was it just what Maura needed. She moaned loudly, partly to encourage Jane to go on. Taking the swollen clit into her mouth, Jane tenderly sucked on it. The taste of Maura was like no other, even though she only had one other person to compare it to. The more she sucked the more juices Maura produced.
Jane's tongue travelled lower on Maura's sex and met with an entrance. Plunging inside of Maura, her tongue went in and out a few times. ''Jane…say something to me'', Maura pleaded.
''What do you want to hear?'', Jane's sex voice and the warm air against her clit was seemingly too much. The woman arched her back up again and was met with Jane's thrusts. ''You taste so nice Maura''
''I do?'', she panted.
''Yes. And you're so wet. There is nothing sexier than that''
Maura cried out Jane squeezed her thighs and thrust as deep into her as could.
''Cum for me baby'', Jane rasped. Her own arousal was like torture at this point.
''I am J-Jaaaane''. A few harder flicks against her most sensitive spot left Maura seeing stars. She shouted Jane's name until she finally had control over her senses. The blonde was well spent and Jane had no time to wait for her to recover. She figured if Maura could see and hear how arousing she was, she wouldn't blame her. The detective threw a leg over Maura's stomach and half straddle her pelvis. This way she had the doctors raised thigh between her legs, rubbing pleasurably in all the right places.
''Jane..'', Maura tried. She wanted to tell her to wait so she could have the honours of returning the favour but Jane wasn't having it. The brunette was three-quarter way to orgasm already. She rode her centre into Maura's thigh only a few times before she was screaming the beautiful blonde's name. Maura lay down on the bed relishing in the feeling of Jane's wetness against her thigh, and watching as the woman she loved brought herself to ecstasy on the legs. It was amazing.
''If my mornings are like this every day I might just ask for a leave of my own''
''Copy cat''. Jane dragged out after returning from her high.
Maura hadn't the energy required for a smart comeback.
''I have to go'', Maura said sadly.
''I know''
''Can I take you? I will come to pick you up after work. And for lunch like I said before''
''So is this a new routine?'', the blonde smirked, ''Sex, then you attend to my every needs during the day, then sex again.''
They both had to laugh at that. But then Jane sobered quickly. She had to make this right, and clear as soon as possible.
''In all seriousness Maura. I intend to spend as much time with you as you will allow me, every second that you are not at work if I had it my way. And it's not just about the sex'', she quickly added.
''I know Jane. It has never been about sex with us – it's just part of it''
''It means a lot that you understand that you know. I love you, so much. And I have for a good five years now''
''Jane'', Maura gaped. ''you never told me it was that long''
''What? You think I just woke up on Tuesday morning on your couch and decide I loved you then sealed it with a kiss?''
''I didn't mean it like that''
''I'm just messing with you''
''When did you fall in love with me Jane?'', Maura asked curiously.
''I promise I will tell you. Can you promise to be patient?''
''Yes''. Truth was, that is the one question the brunette could not answer with complete honesty. She didn't know, and the truth was that she probably never would.
Running out of time, Maura quickly got ready for work. As promised, Jane dropped her – all the way into the building.
True to her word, Maura could not keep it in. She gushed about it to everyone who asked at work that day. And yes they asked, because 'Detective Mac Badass' made a show of kissing her girlfriend goodbye by the elevator doors. Not that it was much of a surprise to anyone. The few friends she had made down in the basement congratulated her and Maura felt as if she could fly.
On her way out, Jane received pats on the back from her mates for 'bagging such a hottie' as they put it. Frankie had texted Tommy, who had passed the news to Jorge. They planned to meet that night at the Rizzoli family home and tell their parents the good news as well.
For whatever reason, the day dragged on longer than it normally did. Maybe it was just because Jane could hardly wait to be with Maura again. The sudden shift in their relationship made the distance intolerable. Lunch happened very quickly because of a murder. But thanks to the text messaging system, they made it to the end of the day, where they now faced the challenge of dinner with everyone else before facing unadulterated intimacy.
Tommy, Jorge, Frankie, and Korsak were already there. Frost and the girls arrived shortly after them, making the family complete. Angela was beside herself as usual. She hardly knew what to do with herself when family and food merged together. She was juggling cooking more than one pot, chatting excessively, and ordering her young ones around. The brunette looked at her with complete adoration and utter disbelieve, tinged with hurt. How could a woman who could level out so many tasks passionately live with such a horrible lie? It was beyond her. A lone tear trickled down her chick.
Unfortunately she didn't rid herself of it fast enough. Astute medical examiner and eagle-eye Angela witnessed the moment. Apparently the two women had their eyes on her every single moment. ''Janie baby what's wrong?'', Angela bellowed – all too eager to offer comfort to her daughter whenever possible.
''Nothing Ma, I'm fine'', Jane made quick work of wiping the stray tear. Maura in all honesty had no idea what to make of it, having never really witnessed Jane being so emotional. She hungrily awaited Jane's explanation for her current state.
''Don't lie to me young lady'', the older woman pointed a finger at her, standing well within her person space. ''This happened again on Sunday, if you think I have forgotten''
''Me and Maura are dating''. She blurted, and she didn't disappoint at that. The explanation seemed to appease both women. Maura's heart swelled at Jane's acknowledgement of their changed status, and Angela beamed at finally hearing the words she'd waited to hear for a while now. Yes it was the truth, and yes it was the reason for the night's dinner after all. But no, that was not the reason for Jane's tender emotions. In fact, the news about her and Maura brought everything but tears. Nevertheless, she was gathered in a bear hug by her mother, which she happily melted into.
''Honey. That's nothing to cry over. Maura sweetheart, come let me look at you closely''
''I'm not crying Ma'', Jane tried in vain to restore her dignity. It didn't even matter anyway. Angela was talking loudly and before she knew it the whole family had congregated in the kitchen exchanging hugs and high-fives. Yes, all was well.
At the dinner table Jane sat beside her radiant girlfriend. The woman was simply gorgeous; the detective had to constantly remind herself that she was indeed all hers. Conversation flowed haphazardly as usual. Everyone seemed to want to speak at the same time and no one was willing to give the other the time of day. Countless questions were directed to Maura or Jane, but neither was given the chance before someone else answered for them.
''I so knew they were going to be together'', Frankie spoke.
''I knew first'', Tommy boasted.
''What are you talking about? You weren't even here when they first met'', the middle Rizzoli countered.
''No, no it was me'', Jorge threw in his two cents. ''When Tommy first introduced me I swore there was something. Oh and Jane remember the death glare you gave me anytime I tried to charm the doc''
''I-'', Jane was cut off.
''Ya I saw that'', Frankie chimed.
''What about how nervous she was when we threw Jane that surprise party?'', Angela joined the conversation pointing at Maura.
''Yeah, Maura kept warning us about how Jane hates surprises, and parties. As if-''
''…they were married?'', Jorge asked.
''Yes'', Frank finally spoke.
Everyone erupted in joyous laughed. Maura vaguely wondered why on earth it took them so many years to finally get somewhere they both knew they would eventually get.
''So what's this about a leave Jane?'', Frankie asked from nowhere.
All eyes turned to the woman in question. And of course Angela was the first to react, ''You're taking a leave?'', she asked in complete shock.
''Yes'', Jane countered exasperatedly.
''When? And why?'', The Rizzoli matriarch queried.
''Since yesterday for-'' she didn't get to the end of the sentence before Angela, Frank, Tommy, and Jorge started throwing remarks towards her. The two detectives and Maura were the only ones who knew prior to the dinner so they just sat in silence.
''If you ask me I'd say you needed it. I've known you what, two years now? And you have never taking time off – willingly, ever'', Jorge said to Jane.
''See! He's right. Now will you all give me a break'', the brunette pleaded. Thankfully the food was more interesting than her life, everyone went back to eating and talking. All except for Angela, who instead found Jane's life more fascinating than the food before them.
''Maura'', she discreetly beckoned the blonde. Like an obedient child, Maura followed the woman into the kitchen.
''What's all that about?'', Angela gestured in the direction of the dining room.
''Honestly, I'm pleased Angela. To have Jane just relax of her own will is precious. She wants us to spend some quality time together. I know I will be working, but my schedule can be very flexible making it easy to spend time together'', the blonde blushed. That was enough to wipe all suspicion clean. Angela forgotten about her slight concern and took pleasure in the fact that her two favourite girls were finally together. She thought it nothing but a good idea that work be removed from the equation for just three weeks.
