AN: This chapter is all about Maura and Jane right now. I paused the actions of the case that they are working at BPD. So, it focuses on our leading ladies. Thank you for reading this story.


As a mother of three children, I had been feeding them from their birth to annoy them with my antics. Because of that, I love them from my heart. Every time, I 'nag' them as my Janie mentioned in her whole life about grandchildren and marriages. I am already old and haven't had grandchildren yet. Well, one of them has a son but I want more. Most importantly, I want their happiness. That's all I wanted for my children. That's why I am a damn good mother!


Next to the storage closet, Jane took a chair and dialed on her cellphone. It rang twice until her mother picked it up. The brown-haired detective loved her mother with her whole heart but always annoyed her all time. Jane waited with a sigh.

"Hi, Ma. Korsak told me that you wanted to see me."

"Yes, I do. I have bad news. But everything is fine."

"Ma, come on. Tell me, what is it?" Jane groaned before rubbing her forehead. Her mother was a wonderful mother. She had been in her whole life to annoy her oldest children about life. Jane knew that her Ma had a difficult experience because of her Pops. Angela Rizzoli was the one who always has the best advice that comes to work, life, and love. Of course, Ma kept the secrets on her food recipes with love. The Italian dishes were the best.

"I got kicked out of my house. It's your father's fault. He hadn't paid the bills for three months. So, this house is foreclosed, and I have to pack up my things and sell some furniture."

"What!? Why?" Jane was shocked at the revelation about her father. She wanted to cram her Pops in the bucket and kick him out. But in her heart, she loved her father because she grew up looking up at her pops in her whole life. To her, Pops was a great man who always loved her for baseball and everything else Jane does for her family. This time, it went upside down for her.

"Yes. Can you come here and help me, Janie?"

"I will. But I am stuck on the case. Ma, did you ask Frankie or Tommy?"

"No. Frankie is stuck at work too. Tommy is going out of town with TJ to see his mother." Angela explained with a frown. Jane slapped on the door and exhaled in the air.

"Wait a minute. Is Pops with you?"

"About that. Your father just departed this morning. I don't know where he is now. I am pissed off at him because the bank's statement came in via email. It said 'Foreclosure' on the subject line. What am I gonna do?"

"I'm going to kill him, Ma."

"Don't! It's your father, Janie. I called him a few times, but he didn't answer mine."

"Ma, I don't care if he is my pops or not. I am going to find him. I will send Frankie to come to see you immediately. Don't make me do that."

"Ok, Janie. I'm sorry. But one favor from you. Can I stay at your place for a while?"

Jane fought with her thoughts about letting her mother stay at her place. She hated that when her mother came in and nagged her daughter about the mess in her home. The brunette detective didn't care about it but would do that if her mother 'nag'. Jane sighed when she saw Maura coming up toward her. Maura was her comfort.

"Janie?"

"Fine. See you soon, Ma."

"I love you."

"I love you, Ma." Janie softened her composure and sadly smiled at her best friend. Maura tilted her head with her patience. They finally hung up. Janie held her face into her hands and felt a hand on her back.


"What's happening?"

"Ma happened." Jane looked up at her. Maura nodded while crouching closer to her best friend. They smiled at each other. No one knew why two ladies were at their comfort together. Sometimes, others thought that they were lovers. But to them, they trusted each other since they first met years ago. For Jane's family, they suspected that Maura was the perfect one for Jane. Frost and Korsak silently agreed when they observed the ladies at work and their respective homes.

"Want to come down to my office for a private conversation?"

"Really, a private conversation? What are you? A 70 years old woman from Europe," Maura chuckled at her sarcasm. Jane smirked.

"Enough with your sarcasm, Jay. I don't fully understand your meaning. So, what's going on with your mother?"

"Idioms, Maur. It's not meaning. Ma was kicked out of the house because Pops hadn't yet paid the bills on the house. They are three months behind. Guess what?"

"I don't guess. I like the proof based on the evidence. I am doing for science." Maura scolded her. Jane made a goofy face while waving her hand. The honey-blonde woman laughed before shaking her head.

"Anyway, Pops left Ma this morning without telling her that they were behind on their bills."

"It's horrible! Poor Angela. What is she going to do now?"

"Honestly, I don't know. I am going to see Frankie. By the way, did you see him today?"

"I saw him this morning at the division cafe. I believe that he is still here." Maura pointed to the bullpen when she spotted her best friend's young brother. Jane followed the gaze of point toward Frankie, who was talking to the police officer. It left her no choice. Maura stood up and held her palm for her. Jane smiled at her gesture and got up.


Jane thought that she was very close to her best friend because she felt that Maura was the one who get her every time. Her sarcasm and idioms got the best out of Maura's saddening life with her family. Constance Isles was the one that Jane approached when Maura felt sad. Because Jane saw everything Constance did to her daughter was detrimental. Not to Jane, she had a wonderful mother who always loved her but get worried about her profession. Being a police officer was a dangerous risk.

A few months ago, Constance faced her issues with her daughter and always get misunderstandings on her situation when it happened that Constance was in the hospital for her severe injuries at the hit-run. Jane was appalled but grateful that Constance finally understood what is to be a mother. One of the reasons that pushed Constance to be in focus with her daughter was Jane's mother. Angela Rizzoli always nudged in every situation that caused the problems.

Now, Constance and Angela became the gals. They phoned each other almost every day. Maura and Jane didn't know that their mothers meddled in their love life. The mothers secretly agreed that their daughters get out of their head and get married to each other.

That's why Jane was in love with her best friend. She didn't know how to tell Maura about her feelings for her. She always pushed herself into the cases that she detects at work. But Jane got a feeling that Maura knew it too.

To Maura, the honey-blonde woman knew that she was in love with Jane too since she first met her at the Divison Cafe. That's the story for another time. Maura cannot fathom that she had feelings for her in years but never had a chance to face the situation. So, she kept it to herself. She smiled at herself while Jane bantered with everyone except Crowe. Everything Jane did for Maura was very honorable and sentimental.

For each other, they had no idea that they were in love.
