A/N: This is it folks! The last chapter! Thanks for all the kind words and the support over this journey! Enjoy!

The next three months passed with things going fairly smoothly. Maura and Susie had not been able to get any leave to come home but Jane and Frost were making due with regular phone calls and the occasional Skype conversation. The time was hard, especially for Frost, but knowing that there was an expiration date to their suffering helped the best friends survive the separation from their loves, together.

It was in the fourth month that Korsak finally formally announced his retirement, also announcing that the panel had approved his recommendation and that Commander Maura Isles would be succeeding him. The news had gone over fairly well throughout the base, especially since the main group had already known this was happening. The announcement being made meant that Maura and Susie were finally coming home, Susie being granted leave until she could be reassigned since she was losing her pilot.

Jane and Frost had spent time preparing for the return of their women; cleaning house, stocking up on groceries, and just in general making sure that their loves knew how much they were missed. In Frost's case, Jane had helped her best friend plan the perfect proposal, Frost wanting to ask as soon as Susie was back. He was anxious to make them official, helping to ensure their their fates within the Navy would be tied together forever, on top of publicially declaring their undying love for each other.

Finally the day came where Maura and Susie were due to arrive, and Jane and Frost were waiting for them on the tarmac at Miramar. The C-130 had just landed and Jane felt the butterflies in her stomach take flight, both excited and nervous to be reunited with Maura. Jane spared a glance over at Frost and noticed that her friend was fidgeting with something in his pocket. Jane arched an eyebrow at her best friend but his eyes were too focused on the slowing cargo plane to notice. Jane shrugged her shoulders and gave her full attention to the plane as well.

As the plane came to a stop and the cargo bay lowered, Jane stretched her neck to see if she could catch a glimpse of her wife. Only seeing random equipment, Jane let out a grunt of frustration. She was practically vibrating with excitement. Jane could feel Frost's anxiety as well and it only served to stroke her own.

As the propellers stopped, Jane could see movement coming from inside of the aircraft and her heart leapt into her throat in anticipation. And then, as if an angel was sent down from heaven, Jane was met with the image of her wife, looking so official and sexy in her dress whites, emerging from the bowels of the aircraft. Jane didn't even realize she was running until she almost slammed into Maura, wrapping the startled woman up into her arms and hugging her tightly.

Maura just giggled as Jane peppered her with kisses: on her lips, her cheeks, her nose, anywhere she could reach. Eventually, Jane stopped spinning them around and lowered her grinning wife back to her feet, however, she refused to let go of the woman she had missed with her whole heart. The couple just stared at each other, grinning like love sick teenagers, which is what they were, regardless of age.

Before the couple could speak, they heard a loud squeal and both turned to the source of the sound. What they found was a shocked Susie, hands covering her mouth in awe, and a kneeling Frost, a ring box prominently displayed in front of him. Jane smiled at her friend. Apparently his need for Susie to be his wife trumped all their carefully laid plans. Jane looked back at Maura who had tears in her eyes and a wistful smile across her face as she watched her friend being proposed to.

Susie stood there in shock, Frost clearly asking again, Jane and Maura not quite being able to make out the words that were being said. Finally, it seemed that Susie was shaken out of her stupor and shouted out, "Goose, you big stud! Yes, yes yes! Now take me to bed or lose me forever!" Jane and Maura laughed out loud as Frost jumped up and wrapped his arms around Susie, lifting her off her feet much in the same way that Jane had just done to Maura.

After kissing for a long moment and slipping the ring on Susie's finger, Frost responded cheekily, loud enough for Jane and Maura to hear, "Show me the way home, honey!" The couple waved briefly at Jane and Maura as they rushed past the pair, the women clapping happily for the newly engaged couple. Frost and Susie were clearly in a hurry to celebrate their new engagement. Well that and make up for the long months of physical separation. Jane couldn't blame them. She had plans herself for Maura.

"What do you say, Mav?" Maura asked, her lips suddenly on Jane's ear causing goosebumps to break out across her skin that was quickly heating up at warm breath that was tickling her ear.

"Hmm," Jane barely replied, closing her eyes, enjoying the sensation of having Maura's honey-coated voice wash over her, all coherent thought leaving her body at Maura's tone and proximity.

"I think Susie had the right idea. Will you take me to bed or lose me forever?" she asked, leaving a soft kiss just below Jane's ear before stepping back and making her way off the tarmac. It took Jane a few seconds to realize that Maura had left her there, a mess of hormones, all alone on the tarmac.

Jane rolled her eyes before trotting to catch up to her wife, wrapping an arm around her waist possessively as she replied, "bed, now."

~R&I~

The couple made it home in record time, despite Jane having brought Maura's Mercedes to drive them, not wanting to be separated one minute from her wife. They had barely kept their hands to themselves throughout the drive, other than holding hands tightly. Every once in a while, Maura would move their clasped hands to Jane's lap to try to tease her wife, but Jane was having none of that, wanting to be able to focus her full attention on her incrediblly sensual wife.

When Jane finally parked the car safely in their driveway, she immediately turned and pounced on Maura, pinning her to the seat with a heated kiss, tongue instantly exploring the depths of her stunned wife who had opened her mouth to let out a gasp at the sudden action. The car was quickly filled with moans as both women expressed their enjoyment at sharing this much needed kiss, having restrained themselves on base. Eventually, air was needed and Jane pulled back, resting her forehead against Maura's, as each woman panted, trying to catch their breath that had been stolen by the searing kiss.

"Jane," Maura husked, "I need you so badly baby. I don't know if I can wait." Maura's hands had started exploring the form of her wife as she said those words, squeezing Jane's breasts, the nipples underneath hardening rapidly. Hearing her wife express her desire was enough to spur Jane into action and she rushed out of the car, leaving Maura once again baffled at the sudden change in the situation.

"Come along, Mrs. Isles. I have plans for you that should rectify your predicament," Jane said coyly as she grabbed Maura's bag from the trunk and went to unlock their front door.

Jane was stopped in her tracks when she heard Maura's almost shy voice say, "it's not Isles anymore." Jane turned to fully look at her wife, her head tilting slightly in confusion. Maura smiled endearingly at her and walked up to Jane, wrapping her arms around her trim waist.

"It's not Isles anymore, Jane. Since I am beginning a new phase in my life with this promotion, I have made a decision that I should have made some time ago." Maura paused and looked deeply into Jane's confused brown pools.

"As of two days ago, I am no longer just an Isles. I officially changed my name. You are now looking at Commander Maura Rizzoli-Isles," Maura said while beaming up at Jane. Jane felt tears welling up as she processed Maura's words.

They had never talked about changing their names after they were married. Both had distinguished careers that meant their names meant something to them. Also, their marriage wasn't about ownership. It was about love and respect and needing to make a public commitment to each other. For Maura to change her name meant the world to Jane and as the tears began to fall down her cheeks, Jane let out a laugh that was just pure joy.

"Maur, you didn't have to do that! What about the foundation and your parents?" Jane asked, stepping forward to encompass her wife in a full bodied hug. Jane lifted Maura off her feet, eliciting a giggle from her wife as she buried her face into Jane's neck, giving her a playful nip on her racing pulse.

"I called my mother before I did it and she was extremely supportive. In fact, she said she was surprised I had not done it right after the wedding because she had never seen me so happy. She said being a Rizzoli was a 'good look on me'." Jane laughed at the idea of Constance Isles saying something like that but it did warm her heart to know that Maura's mother was in full support of their relationship.

Their first meeting had not gone well, Jane unable to hold her tongue when Maura was hurt by the lack of thought her mother had given to her when she had come to the San Diego Modern Art Museum to display one of her new pieces. Maura had been looking forward to showing Jane off to her mother and they had gotten all dolled up for the event, only to be turned away at the door when their names were not on the guest list. After some rapid fire texts, Constance had met them at the door and apologized for the misstep, using some excuse about being so busy that her assistant must have made an error. Jane, having none of it as she had watched Maura accept the flimsy excuse, proceeded to go on an impassioned rant about how wonderful Maura was and how much she deserved the respect and love of everyone, but especially her own mother.

Needless to say, the socialite was stunned but since that day had done right by her daughter. Jane had been ashamed for going off like that at first but when Maura took her home that night and spent hours showing Jane just how much she appreciated they way she had stood up for her, Jane didn't feel anything except love and utter exhaustion.

"Well, you can't be the only Rizzoli-Isles! I will get mine changed as soon as possible," Jane said with a large grin on her face before kissing Maura deeply. As the kiss got more heated, Jane began to walk them toward the house, stumbling slightly on the two steps that led to the front door.

"Baby, you know you could put me down so that we both make it safely to our destination," Maura teased, making no move to let go of her wife despite her words. Jane squeezed her tighter and spun around to pin Maura to the door.

"Not a chance, Mrs. Rizzoli-Isles. You threatened that I would lose you forever if I didn't get you to bed soon and there is no chance I'm letting that happen." Jane struggled to find her key as she spoke, Maura finally just taking them out of Jane's hand, turning awkwardly to unlock the door, and smiling brightly when she turned back to Jane when it opened.

Kissing her soundly before pulling back with a cocky grin, Maura whispered, "Well what are you waiting for, Mrs. Rizzoli-Isles?" Jane raised an eyebrow at the taunt and proceeded to charge her way into their home, only sparing a second to kick the door shut and lock it quickly, before making haste to their bedroom.

Gently putting Maura down on the bed, Jane stepped back to admire the vision before her. Maura, still in her dress whites, looking flushed, hazel eyes dilated from desire. Jane was overwhelmed by her love and the life that they had built and were continuing to build.

"I love you so much, Ice. And I will make love to you, I promise. But right now, I am feeling the need…" Jane trailed off looking expectantly at her wife with a wicked grin. Maura reflected the devilish grin on her own face as she replied, "the need for speed."

And those were the last words the two women uttered for almost an hour as their mouths were preoccupied with other more pleasurable activities than speaking, tongues being used for more important things that uttering words.

A/N: I hope you all enjoyed this ride. There is an epilogue as I said. And for those you have been hinting at it, yes, there will be another installment. I have already outlined it out, guest reviewer Kiki, any coincidences in plot are just that. ;-) I will be finishing some of my other stories first and I have a new one that I think you all will like. But yes, there is more Speed coming your way!

P.S. Marmitelover1710, I hope you are happy now! I had to use the line as it was said in the movie which was by Goose's wife aka Meg Ryan, first before Charlie said it to Mav. ;-)
