It was 12.30 a.m.
Jane wiped the wetness away from her cheeks. She had to ask for forgiveness from Maura. She would do anything to get her wife back. She would also be begging on her knees if it's that Maura wants from her.
She stood up from the floor and slowly opened the door of the room Maura was staying. There was, her wife sleeping without any interruptions. Jane closed the door behind her quietly. She wanted to apologize to Maura, but she did not have the heart to wake the sleeping angel up.
Jane shifted the chair from the corner of room, near the bed. She sat while her eyes glanced over the beauty in front of her. She marveled the pregnant lady who was sound asleep in the hospital bed. Jane took off her blazer and shirt that she was wearing and left the tank top on.
She did not dare to touch the blonde. What if she wakes up and yells at me to leave again? She looked at Maura. She looks so perfect, even without any make up, designer clothes and, my God, her high heels. She is still so adorable with 28 weeks pregnant belly. Everything looks perfect on her, especially her google mouth. Jane tried and failed miserably to suppress the chuckle that escaped her mouth.
Maura stirred a bit while Jane's heart dropped to her stomach. Oh no. Not now, Maur.
Fortunately, Maura didn't seem to be opening her eyes. Of course, how could she? After all she was crying the whole day and tired indeed.
On the other hand, Jane wanted to feel the baby so badly. It'd been more than 24 hours since she touched her wife for the last time. After Maura became pregnant with her baby, all Jane enjoyed to do was to hold her wife whenever she could and feel the baby before falling asleep. She wanted to show the baby that his or her mama's still there for the family she ever wanted.
Please don't leave me. Please don't do this, Maur. I love you. I am so sorry. I didn't get a chance to tell you this but I'm really sorry, Maura. I screwed up once. Give me a chance. Give one more fucking chance. I'll prove it to you, Maura that you're the most important thing in my entire life. This was how Jane wanted to beg to her wife for another chance in her married life. It was nearly 2 a.m, when finally Jane drifted off to sleep.
Few hours later, the room was filled with brightness. The clock on the wall showed 7.15 in the morning.
Maura was the one who woke up first and not sure where she'd been. She sat up quickly and everything that happened on the previous day floated through her mind again. She looked at the right side of the bed currently she was sitting on. Jane was sleeping in that uncomfortable chair.
She looks so tired. Even though Maura was mad at Jane, she couldn't help herself. After all that's her wife.
Jane stretched herself and opened her eyes slowly. Her gaze fell on the person in front of her.
Carefully she started the conversation "Good morning, Maura. How are you feeling now?"
"What are you doing here, Jane? I told you to leave. Why are you sleeping here instead of being at home?" the coldness in the blonde's voice told that Jane was not going to be forgiven any time sooner.
"Home? You mean your house, Maura? You asked me to leave your house yesterday." Jane said sadly.
"Oh... Then why are you here? You should have gone to the woman you slept with." Before she could realize what she was saying, she said it and regretted each word that's said, instantly.
The brunette's face fell. I deserve this for what I did.
"I am sorry. I didn't mean to sound so harsh." Maura lowered her head and dropped her gaze on the floor.
"Don't be, Maura. I deserve that." Jane stood up putting her shirt and blazer on.
"Can you give me half an hour so I can get my car from dirty robber and get you home?" Jane asked hopefully.
"You don't have to strain yourself for me, Jane. I'll call Angela so she can take me home." Maura did not want to have private moments with Jane. Actually, she was afraid that her anger would show up any time if this won't stop now.
Jane was hurt. She didn't expect this from her beloved wife. "Okay" she whispered and turned to leave.
"Wait, Jane. One more thing I want to tell you. You can stay at our house. It's not mine; remember, we both bought that house together. I don't have the rights to ask you to leave, Jane. You're welcomed there, but you have to stay in guest room because I don't want you in my bed anymore."
Jane nodded. She was not looking at the blonde. She did not want her wife to see the tears, she caused. She left without any words.
Maura's eyes were glistened with tears. Oh Jane. I am sorry but whenever I think of the picture in your phone, all I can feel is the stabbing pain in my chest. I know scientifically that's impossible but still you cause this pain. You betrayed my trust. You betrayed me.
Maura brought her hand to rub her belly gently. "Hey baby. I am so sorry. Mommy didn't mean to do that yesterday. I was so mad at your mama, still am. Like she said last night, I'll never ever hurt you, my love. I don't like to guess or leap to conclusions, you know but…" she did not finish her sentence. Suddenly, "Did she get tired of me? Is that why she went after another girl behind my back? She broke my heart. How can I trust her again huh?" she asked this question to her unborn baby instead of asking the same question to that particular person.
Back in BPD, Jane was entering the building, without any doubts anyone could tell this; Rizzoli was not in good mood at all. She passed by the police cafeteria. Her ma was not there. Maur called her already? She went to Stanley and got a cup of coffee for herself. She didn't want to come to work; she would rather spend her time with Maura. Wait. What? How? That's not possible for the time being.
She entered the bullpen with a coffee cup in her hand. Frost and Korsak were already there. No one seemed to acknowledge her presence. Frost eyes were fixed on the computer screen while Korsak's were fixed on a file in his hands.
"Good morning, Korsak and Frost." She greeted them with a forced smile, even though her voice showed that she was still sleepy.
Frost and Korsak looked up to the person before them and smiled "Good morning, Jane." Both men said simultaneously.
"You look like shit, Janie. So, what happened with Dr. Isles?" Korsak asked out of curiosity.
"Nothing has changed. She is still mad at me and by the way she is fine." Nothing was going to change her mistakes. She went to her desk and sat there.
"Sorry Jane. I couldn't come to see Maura this morning. I tried to call you." Frost felt guilty because he said he would come and visit Dr. Isles.
"Oh sorry Frost. My phone was running down and it's alright that you couldn't come and see her. She'll understand. The only person she hates now is me." She muttered the last part under her breath.
"What are you going to do to fix it?" Korsak glared at Jane.
"Whatever it takes to get her back." Jane said with slight anger in her voice.
