Jane literally laid on the bench in the park legs crossed and head in Maura's lap. She looked up at the cloudy sky and frowned. But the frown disappeared as soon as her wife ran a hand through her hair and a smile appeared on her lips as she closed her eyes.
"Don't you dare fall asleep.", Maura chuckled.
Jane let her eyes closed and raised her eyebrows. "I'm just relaxing my eyes."
" Isn't that the statement you'd always said when Alexis was still a toddler and you left the night shifts withme because you just ... 'rested your eyes' and fell back asleep immediately?", Maura asked skeptically and looked down at her wife.
Jane opened her left eye and a coy smiled played on her lips. "I ... uh ... No?"
Maura rolled her eyes and kissed Jane's lips. "So it's a yes."
Jane sighed and closed her eyes as Maura continued to caress her head. "Well, am I to blame when you do what you do so well? I mean, I now understand why Alexis falls fast asleep when you do it with her too."
"Do what?", Maura asked confused.
Jane let her eyes closed and pointed grinning at the hand." That."
Maura smiled and sipped her coffee which was in her other hand. "You know, I am surprised that you didn't argue with me that we are going on a lunch break."
"What do you mean?" Jane asked, already a bit dizzy.
Maura looked straight ahead and sighed. "Normally you would tell me that you can't go on a break because the current case. But today you just accepted your fate."
Jane hummed and sighed, "I'd learned my lesson during the first pregnancy. 'Never argue with a pregnant woman. You can't win this war'. "
Maura chuckled amused and looked at her wife again. But then she drew her eyebrows together as she realized that Jane already was on her way into the land of dreams. "You are asleep."
Jane hummed again and smiled." Hmm."
Maura leaned to Jane's ear. "If you open your pretty eyes we can go back to my office, lock the door and have our first time on my desk." she whispered into the ear.
Jane's eyes shot open and she sat up straight. "What did you just say?"
Maura shrugged. "I just suggested that we could go back to my office."
Jane looked long at her. "Yeah, that part I got. I mean the other part."
Maura looked innocently at her. "I don't know what you are talking about."
Jane stared long at her and growled. "You are evil, you know that, right?"
Maura stared to laugh and collect their leftovers. "I still don't know what you are talking about."
"Oh, yes you do.", Jane growled while she helped her wife with the collecting.
Maura hid her face behind a curtain of hair in time an amused smile laid on her lips.
Jane rolled her eyes and snorted annoyed. "What about the suggestion of your office and your desk?"
Maura looked up and opened her mouth but closed it again immediately.
Jane smiled mischievous and raised an eyebrow. "Yes?"
"I ..." Maura started but then she stopped herself and grabbed her wife's wrist. "Let's go."
Jane grinned and followed Maura without any disagreement.

Jane came back into the bullpen with a big smile on her lips and sat down in her chair.
Shortly, Korsak looked up and then stared at his former partner.
Masterson raised a suspicious eyebrow and grinned. "Did the Doc take care of you?"
Korsak's head shot up and his mouth opened.
Jane looked long and hard at Masterson and drew her annoyed eyebrows together. "You know ... I started to really like you ... But you are way too curious about Maura's and my sex life besides being really flirty again. Can you please go back to 'I am depressed and want to focus back on the case'? Thank you?"
"How am I flirting with Maura?" Masterson asked perplexed. "Just because I complimented her?"
Jane stared at him in disbelief. "You hit on her like a horny teenage boy. The eyes are the mirror of the soul? Really?"
Masterson stared at her. "Well, that's my opinion."
"While you stare into my wife's eyes?" Jane replied loud and Korsak looked up worriedly. "It's like you're trying to pinch my wife. One last time ... and listen well. . . And you've missed it."
Masterson snorted and smiled. "You're talking nonsense."
Jane stared at him with a deadly glare. "Everyone ... everyone can see how you look and how you treat Maura. I am not blind."
"But paranoid."
Jane opened her mouth to retire something.
Maura came into the bullpen and the smile that laid on her lips disappeared immediately. "What is going on here?"
Jane still stared at Masterson and clenched her teeth.
Korsak eyed the two of the Detectives and cleared his throat. "Those two are having a cock fight again."
Maura looked confused at him. "Why?"
Korsak just shrugged and sipped his coffee. "Well ... it seems like those two are fighting about their object of desire ... which is you?"
Maura let the words sink in and glared at her wife and Masterson. "Stop!" she said firmly and the eyes of the two fighting Detectives landed on her. "Stop it right now. Why are you fighting again? Because of a said word or a glance? ", she stared at Jane." Or a touch? God forbid, a nice word." she pointed at herself. "I am a person and not an object. I am not a trophy that you can win because you tear off each other's head. I've always made my own desicions and I will make them on my own till the last breath leaves my body.", she looked directly at Masterson." Ryan, we were together ages ago. We had a wonderful time together when we were young ... but ... it's over. I already gave my heart away." she looked at Jane and frowned. "Jane, when did you start to doubt my love for you? When are you going to realize that you are it for me? Do you think that being married to you and giving birth to your children is a kind of an experiment for me? That this is just a game to get to know how it would feel like?"
Jane was already overtaken by guilt and her shoulders slumped. "Maura ..."
"No.", Maura said firmly and looked at her wife. "No, just stop there. A simple 'I am sorry' doesn't work here. Go have a drink after your shift ... Get drunk, I don't care. But accept who I am. ", she looked at both. "And I am no object of desire. "
"Maura ... "Jane tried again but Maura turned on her heels and walked away without turning back.
Jane stared annoyed at Korsak. "Thank you."
Korsak stared at his screen. "You're more than welcome."

Masterson brought two glasses of beer to the choosen table and frowned. "Is there a particular reason why we are sitting here instead at our table?"
Jane took her glass and frowned. "Well ... yeah."
Masterson frowned and sipped his beer. "Would you mind if I ask what makes the difference? And what makes you so aware?"
Jane sighed deeply and stared into herbottle. "It is just a hard time. Those days reminds me of ... It is four years ago and it still hurts. You know ... I have this nagging feeling ... "she looked desperate at him. "Will this ever stop? This feeling that you have failed?"
Masterson looked with a frown at her and ran his right middle finger across the rim of his glass. "You talk about Frost. If this feeling that you have failed will stop? I don't know, Jane. But I hope so. I know it is a cliché but it is true that a heart needs time to heal. To get over it, if it's possible to get over it,. I can just give you the advice to ask the person herself that you have lost."
Jane closed her eyes and sighed deeply. "Frost can't answer me anymore."
Masterson frowned deeply and looked deep into Jane's eyes. "Is, this about Frost? Is it why you're so moody?"
Jane sipped her beer and looked away.
Masterson nodded slowly. "It is, isn't it?" he sighed. "You know I need five years before I talked about Vick and my son. It destroyed me every day. Have you'd visited Frost's grave already?"
Jane looked at the glass and, shook her head with a sigh.
Masterson smiled slightly and sighed. "You should do it. It will hurt and you will cry."
Jane chuckled and looked at him. I'm not a cryer."
Masterson smiled. "Maybe you should be. Because a ..."
"Good cry is a release." Jane chuckled but sobered immediately. "It's so long ago but it still feels like it was yesterday."
"It will always be an open wound. But it'll be less painful in time. ", Masterson said as he lifted the glass to his lips but then frowned. "Are we good again?"
Jane smiled and nodded but frowned immediately. "But no more flirting with my wife."
Masterson rolled his eyes and lifted his glass. "No more flirting."
