Jane tossed and turned over and over. It had been like that all week. Maura was at a conference in DC and the detective was finally on the verge of admitting how lost she was without her girlfriend.
The bed sheets were cold and empty. For the first time in a long time her bed didn't feel inviting. She hadn't realized until now how accustom she had become to falling asleep with her head pressed to Maura's chest; listening to her heart beat. She had been agitated all the time, snapping at everyone; the sound of Maura's breathing not there to soothe her.
She sighed deeply and rolled over once more. She closed her eyes but was then startled by a sound in the living room. Sitting up quickly she was about to step out of bed to get her gun from its place in the lockbox when a silhouette appeared in the bedroom doorway - a silhouette she would know anywhere.
"Maura?" She said quietly. Her girlfriend stepped into the room. "What are you doing here? I thought you weren't supposed to be back until Monday morning."
"I left early." The blonde answered simply as she stripped out of her clothes and placed them neatly on the chair in the corner of their room.
"But you've been looking forward to this conference for months." Jane was very excited to see her girlfriend but worried about what could have happened to bring her home.
Clothed in only her underwear, the ME slipped into bed and took the other woman in her arms, "I know, it just wasn't as great as I was hoping it would be."
"Why not?" The detective questioned.
Maura kissed her soundly, "Because you weren't there."
"You left because you missed me?" Jane smiled.
"Yes, I did. I knew I would miss you but I had no idea I would miss you that much," Maura told her. "And I heard that you haven't been doing so well either. Korsak texted me and told me about how you almost took some heads off at the precinct the other day." Jane only chuckled in response. The honey blonde cupped her girlfriend's cheek as she examined her face, "You haven't been sleeping."
"I didn't realize I would have such a hard time sleeping without you - I am exhausted." The brunette admitted.
"Me too." Maura smirked. "So you won't be offended if I don't ravage you until the morning?"
Jane laughed, "You know how much I love morning sex anyway!"
The smaller woman grinned, "I do indeed! Do you need anything before we go to sleep?"
Jane snuggled into her girlfriend's arms, her ear pressed to her chest so she could hear her steady beat of her heart, "You're all I've ever needed." She threw her leg across Maura's curvy hips and held her as closely as she could.
"Always."
