Characters are not mine.
Let's see what Jane had in mind when she called Korsak.
Jane also faces a whole new challange when reality closes up on her.
When Maura arrived back at Jane's she was nervous. And afraid. Was her detective all right? She door opened and in front of her stood a smiling Jane. The blonde let out the breath she'd been holding and stormed towards the other woman.
Arms wrapped around bodies and the mutual feeling of safety spread through both of them. Maura hid her face in the crook of Jane's head, breathing in her scent. "Maura we need to talk." "I know." She didn't move one inch. "But not here. We need time for just the two of us."
Slowly she pulled away. "What do you mean?" "I called work. We have one week just for us. Korsak is covering my work. I thought about going to one of your houses?" Suddenly nervousness spread through Jane's body. Would it be ok for Maura? Maybe she should have asked first. Maura didn't like having others doing her autopsies.
Then Maura's face lit up. And Jane felt a rush of happiness.
"What did you tell my Ma, by the way?" Maura's smile stayed. "I told her." Kiss. "That you were having nightmares." Kiss. "And panic attacks." Kiss. "And that I stayed here last night." Kiss. "That you had such an attack." Kiss. "That I couldn't help you." Kiss. "And that we talked about it today." Kiss. "And that we were so emotional because I realized I couldn't live without you." Kiss.
"I can't live without you either." Jane said. "Will you go on vacation with me?" Maura shook her head yes. "But we have to go to family dinner tomorrow."
Even through the happiness the shock of the previous events stayed buried deep within them. Curled up against each other they went to sleep.

They woke up the way they went to sleep. Both of them still had the uncomfortable feeling in their stomach regions. They really needed to talk again about what happened. "Do you feel bad as well?" Jane asked. "Do you mean feeling sick and not having an appetite? Yes I do feel the same."
They stayed in bed some more time, looking into each other's eyes.
Maura made them a fruity breakfast, a little something they could stomach. They decided on watching a movie to pass time till the evening, so they cuddled up on Jane's couch. They fell asleep at some point and woke up with 3 hours left to get ready before dinner.
Jane went to take a shower first. Pulling down her pants she saw the bandages. Maura had told her the wounds needed to be cleaned regularly, so she undid the white fabric. Seeing her thighs for the first time after what happened she had to sit down.
Maura didn't hear the shower being turned on and after some more minutes she decided to check up on Jane.
Jane sat on the floor, eyes on her legs, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Jane." She sat down next to the crying woman. "How did I do this to me?" She asked while turning her head towards Maura. Maura didn't answer. "How could I do this to my body?" Silence remained. The blonde just didn't know what to say to comfort her friend and she wouldn't make things worse by saying something wrong.
"Maura?" "Yes Jane." "Could you help me shower?" Maura smiled. Jane was opening up to her. That was good. That was more than good.
Jane felt vulnerable, needing help to take a shower, but with Maura it would be ok. She trusted the doctor beyond belief, so a little shower wouldn't be so bad, would it?
They stood up and began undressing. Jane hesitated to take off her underwear. Unpleasant memories coming up in her head. Maura hugged her. "If you want to keep them on it's ok. But you don't have to hide from me, you know that, don't you?" Jane seemed to be frozen for some more time before nodding. Then she took her sports bra off. The panties would stay on.
The blonde couldn't help but think this behavior was related to Casey. She didn't know how, and she was sure Jane wouldn't tell her yet, but she already liked that man even less than before.
Maura undressed completely and turned the water on. When it was warm enough she pulled Jane with her. The water ran down their bodies and too soon it reached Jane's thighs. She winced. Wanting to distract her friend, Maura took her hands and poured some liquid soap onto them. "Wash me."
Jane was unsure at first, but she quickly found pleasure in running her hands up and down the blonde's back and arms. Maura turned around. Jane hesitated. A smile appeared on Maura's face as she placed the other woman's hands slightly on top of her chest. Jane was mesmerized as she touched the blonde's breasts for the first time.
She soon started to play with Maura's nipples, rubbing over them and drawing circles. Maura had her eyes closed and was breathing through her mouth. "Jane, as much as I like this and as much as I want you to go on, we need to get finished."
Jane was clearly disappointed, but went on spreading the foam down Maura's belly. She bit her lip. Should she? Maura wasn't showing any signs of wanting Jane to stop. Slowly she ran her hands over Maura's sides before placing them on Maura's ass. She began massaging and earned a few moans.
"Maura?" The blonde nodded. "I think if I go on I won't be able to stop. Would you take care of the rest yourself? I need to wash myself, too." Maura said yes.
It didn't take long for them to finish and Maura left the bathroom so they could get changed separately. She didn't want to overdo it.
