I was originally going to just make this a one shot but now decided to make it a series of one shots. Enjoy #2.


Jane had no idea what had woken her up. She was sleeping peacefully until suddenly she wasn't. Squinting at the numbers glaring at her bedside she found that it was 4am on the dot. She began trying to figure out what had woken her.

Maura was still curled up next to her. Jo hadn't been barking. For once in her life she wasn't super stressed out on case. She hadn't had nightmares now that she and Maura were sharing a bed every night. The ME always kept them at bay.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Maura mumbled sleepily.

Now Jane was curious as to how Maura could sense that she was awake. "Huh?"

"What are you thinking about? Why are you awake?"

"I have no idea." Jane answered honestly.

Maura pressed a kiss to the detective's clavicle, "Anything I can do?"

"Just let me hold you."

The honey blonde snuggled tightly to Jane's side as the other woman pulled her close. She smiled, "Always."


I woke up at 4am for no reason the other day and came up with this. I just wished that I had had a Maura to snuggle with.
