A/N: First of all thank you for reading this little story. I really appreciate it.
Second, don't worry. Everything will be alright with those two women. I just wanted to give them a little hard time. But may it will take some time. Hadn't decided yet.

Jane sat at her desk and chewed on her thumb nail while she stared into nothing. Two days before at this time the world seemed perfectly fine. She was with her wife in the park to have lunch and to relax their tired minds. But then she came back to the bullpen and everything turned bad. First she had had a fight with Masterson and her wife came right in time into the squad room to blow off some steam at Masterson and her. Then she came home yesterday after she had visited Frost's grave and got right into a fight with Maura. Not that she wasn't the one to blame. She more or less had pushed Maura into it though Maura wanted some time alone. And then ... Maura had broke up with her. Not literally broke up but put their marriage on a break. So ... yes, to her it felt a break up. Her mother more or less yelled at her since she moved to the guest house, no matter how many times Jane told her that it is just a current crisis they are going through. As she laid in the guest house guest room she had stared holes into the ceiling while she tried to figure out what she had wrong. In time she understood that she and her jealous behavior were really the one to blame. This morning wasn't any good at all. Maura barely had spoken to her as she came to the main house to get her coffee. Or even looked at her. As fast as Jane had appeared in the house she had disappeared again after a little time together with her daughter who didn't really understood the whole tense situation. And now it was about her to fix this before her marriage went down the drain.
" You look a little bit distracted.", brought Korsak's voice Jane out if her train of thoughts. She slowly looked at him and raised her eyebrows. "Hmmm?"
Korsak studied her expression long and frowned worried. "You okay? You look s little pale?"
Jane stopped chewing and took a deep breath. "Yeah, I am fine. I just have to put some things right again."
Korsak drew his eyebrows together. "Trouble in paradise?"
Jane massaged her forehead and drew her eyebrows together. "Just ... let us focus on this case, okay? How about we get to Samantha's apartment and see what we can find there? Maybe there is something helpful. "
Korsak frowned again before he got up off his chair.

Maura entered the Café and catches immediately Angela's glance. She sighed and walked to the counter. "Hello, Angela."
"You look awful.", came Angela right to the point. "Didn't you slept well?"
Maura sighed and shrugged. "It's been a while since I slept alone in my bed. I wasn't used to it."
Angela nodded and poured her daughter in law a glass of water. "It was hard for me too as Frank and I separated."
Maura sipped her water and frowned deeply. " Jane and I aren't going to get divorced. We just need a little time for ourselves. I need time for myself."
Angela nodded to Maura's stomach and raised her eyebrows. "Are the two of you fighting because of the twin pregnancy? You know, Jane won't tell me anything."
Maura looked down at herself and put an hand on her stomach. She almost had forgotten her own pregnancy. So distracted she was by the whole drama with Jane and Masterson. "No, not at all. It is ... it is a little more complicated."
"Then it is because this Ryan guy?", Angela stated and looked around like she wanted to make sure that Jane wasn't in the near. "I know you were involved with him. And Jane can be really green-eyed. It is a really bad habit of her and it already destroyed some of her former relationships."
Maura opened her mouth before panic spread through her chest. "I ... really should going. I have a lot work dimmyo do downstairs."
Angela frowned deeply. "But you haven't ordered anything."
Maura started to walk and smiled polite. "I don't need anything. Thank you, Angela."
"You're welcome.", Angela replied to no one as her daughter disappeared fast around the corner. Then she decided to do something against their misery even if her daughter wanted or not. This relationship was worth it to be rescued by a loving mother.

Jane looked through the magazines and unopened mail that laid on the coffee table of Samantha McKenna. " Did you find something?"
Korsak came out of a room that seemed to be the bed room and held up an laptop. "May this have some answers for us."
A smile played on Jane's lips. "Alright. Mast ...", she paused in the mid sentence and sighed. She really hadn't the desire to run into the reason of her troubled marriage. "Frankie shall check it and see if he can find something."
Korsak stared at her and drew his eyebrows together. Something smelled like an big crises and that Jane didn't felt the need to talk to someone.
Jane rolled her eyes as her phone started to ring and looked at the display. " For the love of ...", she growled as she accepted the call. "Rizzoli.", she said and a frown crawled on her forehead. "There must be a misunderstanding. I hadn't made an reservation at the Menton.", she listened and drew her eyebrows together. "Yes. Yes Jane Rizzoli is my name. But ...", she sighed and nodded slowly. "You said at eight? Great, thank you?"
Korsak looked confused at her. "What was that?"
Jane stared at her phone and looked at him. "I have not the slightest idea."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Jane right at half past eight into the restaurant and introduced herself as Jane Rizzoli. She was led to an table for two and frowned confused as she recognized the person who already sat at the table. "Hey.", she said with a husky voice.
"Jane?", Maura said surprised as she looked up. "What are you doing here?"
Jane raised her eyebrows and enjoyed the beautiful sight in front of her. " I could ask you the same question. Did you expected someone else?"
"Of course not.", Maura replied a little offended and drew her eyebrows together. "I received a call that a table would be reserved on my name but I couldn't remember that we had made this reservation before ..."
"Had separated?", Jane asked and sighed. "The strange thing is that I got an identical phone call. And I am sure that we'd never made a double reservation when we had a date night. Because we both know even if I would have forgotten it you would have reminded me anyway."
Maura pressed her lips together so she couldn't smile. "Yes, I would have remind you anyway."
As hard as her wife tried to hide it Jane still could see Maura's smile. She nodded to the free chair and frowned. "Would you mind if I take a seat? Because I have forgotten to eat and I am starving."
Maura shook her head immediately. "I wouldn't mind st all. Please, sit."
Jane smiled a little and sat down. "So ... how have your day been?"
Maura sipped her water and frowned. "Slow. And yours?"
Jane raised her eyebrows and shrugged. It felt odd to have a conversation like this with her own wife. Normally they exactly knew how their day was because they barely could spend an our away from each other. But Maura needed space and Jane gave it her. "Korsak and I went to Samantha's apartment and found her laptop. Francis's checking if he can find something useful."
Maura nodded slowly and sighed before she swallowed hard.
Jane immediately was worried. "What is it, Maura?"
"I had forgotten that I am pregnant.", Maura said quietly.
Jane looked confused at her wife and narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean, you have forgotten that you are pregnant? Did you ordered wine?"
Maura rolled her eyes. "Of course not. I had forgotten about it as I went to the Café. But then your mother asked if we are fighting because the twin pregnancy and there I realized that I have forgotten that I am pregnant."
Jane had to smile a little and looked lovingly at her wife. "It's no big deal, Maura. I sm sure that happens more times."
"But, Jane. I have never forgotten that I am pregnant as Alexis was in my womb. How can I forget it now?"
Jane exhaled slowly and put an hand on Maura's. "Stop worrying about it. You have some extreme stressing days with this case and then with our ... with our fight. And I don't make it easier for you. Instead I am a really big jerk who stresses you even more by my jealousy."
Maura opened her mouth and looked down at the touching hands.
Jane followed her eyes and pulled her hand away like she was burned. "I ... I am sorry."
Maura looked away as tears formed into her eyes and stifled a sob. She missed Jane's touches and caresses. But she wasn't ready to take the next step if forgiveness just yet. She smiled sadly at her wife and took a deep breath. "I should go and use the restroom. You know how it can be when I am pregnant."
Jane smiled back and nodded. "Of course. I am right here when you come back.", she hesitated and frowned. "Unless ... unless you want me to go."
Maura smiled again and put an hand in Jane's shoulder. "Don't be ridiculous, Jane.", she said before she disappeared.
Jane sighed and rubbed her eyebrows. It was a step forward, Maura didn't rejected a dinner with her. The only thing she had to do now was to figure out who had this little dinner date had contrived. But she was pretty sure she hadn't have to search long for an suspect. And she was sure as hell that she would go and thank them.
