I always expect myself to be a mother to my child. But, the opportunities always take me away from being a mother. It is complicated for me to raise a child that I barely know. Also, I regret everything I have taken my motherhood away to take care of my child. I suppose that I should be. No, I would be proud of being a mother to my child. Oh, forgive me.

The call alerted in the house. Maura and Jane were befuddled before Bass tottered from the table and toward the kitchen. The honey blonde ransacked everywhere to find her cell phone. She remembered that she left somewhere in the living room and made Jane assist her out.

Maura finally got it in the master suite and swiped left to get a call. Her steps moved along from the suite downstairs. Jane took over to cook breakfast for both of the ladies. The honey blonde woman beamed at her best friend, who made her a vegetable omelette. Jane rolled her eyes with a sullen smile. Maura giggled before waving her to not rumble with the coffee and made Jane sit down.

"Dr. Isles speaking."

"Bonjour, Maura. It's your mother." It alarmed the honey-blonde woman before pressing a button on the coffee maker. Jane sent her a bewildering look.

"Hello, mother. What is the occasional time to call me?"

Jane made an angry gesture to make the call go away. Maura scowled at her before distracting herself with the coffee. The brunette detective threw her hands in the air.

Oh, Maura. I want to know how you are doing?"

"Right, yes. I am wonderfully good. So how are you?"

"To cut the small talk, I wanted to know if you have free time to have me here in Boston. On the other side, I would love to see you."

"When will you be arriving here, Mother?" Maura was carefully finding her words to speak before noticing Jane mouthing, 'no' on the repeat.

"Hopefully, next week."

"Next week!? I apologize for my outburst. It's too soon to let me know that you are coming here." The honey blonde woman was dumbfounded at her mother's statement as Jane gestured her hand below her neck with a shake of the head. Constance chuckled.

"It's ridiculous. It's been long since last time, I came to see you. Oh, do tell me when was the last time I came, Maura?"

"It was a few months ago, occurring in your hit-run accident, Mother."

"That's right. I should come soon. Oh, time is running out. I have to leave because the Isles Foundation needs me. I will email you the itinerary after my conference. Tell Jane, that I said hello."

"Ok. Bye, Mother."

"Au Revoir, mon cheri!" Constance hung up. Maura slowly pulled her cell phone away from her ear and lingered until her best friend outbursted in the air. The brunette detective was galled at the conversation between Maura and Constance.

Jane loved Maura's mother because she was different than Maura. Constance was an uptight artist until Jane approached her one night when they met at the art gallery. Maura was at the bar and gathering their drinks while Constance and Jane had a deep conversation about being a mother.

Well, Constance won Jane's heart by changing her beliefs into motherhood and taking over the motherhood to her heart. One of the reasons was Jane's mother that was supportive and loving toward Maura. Angela considered Maura to be a family too. Constance had a desire to be that kind of a mother Angela was to Jane, Frankie, and Tommy.

Yes, Constance met the full size of the Rizzoli family at Maura's house for the Sunday Dinner. She was baffled that the family welcomed her to be part of a family but not to her pleasure being an Isles.

"Maur, don't tell me that your mother is coming here."

"She wanted to send you her regards, Jay. She will email me with the itinerary after her conference."

"No. I mean, I love your mother, but no."

"Why is that?"

"Because your mother and my Ma will be meddling in our love life. What else do you think, Maur?" Jane was irking, and Maura opened her mouth but didn't get the words out. The brunette detective slumped her shoulders.

"Great, Maur. My day is dooming."

"It's not doom that you expect from the call with my mother. But, last time we saw her was a few months ago with the hit-run case we worked. It doesn't matter if my mother is meddling in my love life. I don't let her be."

"Well, she did do that behind your back a few times. Of course, with my Ma's help. Remember that stinky dude from a few weeks ago?"

Maura was scowling at her last date with a stinky man. It sent her some shivers, and Jane nodded before sipping her coffee. The honey-blonde woman murmured.

"Anyway, don't let your mother come here. I'm sorry, but you have to decline her offer."

"My mother insisted that she is coming here next week. Without your interpretation of saying no." Maura pointed her finger toward her best friend. Jane rolled her eyes and waved her hand. They chuckled and knew that Jane was secretly thrilled to see Constance coming here.

"So, what do we do today, Maur? Oh, I have an idea!"

"No to a lazy couch. I would like to keep myself busy."

"You mean, a yoga, Maur? I pass." Jane was making a face before gathering the plates to the sink. Maura laughed at her facial expression before shaking her head. The brunette detective washed the dishes.

Maura was grateful that Jane did something nice for her at the house. She appreciated her best friend from time to time. Jane placed the plates in the dishwasher and was still clueless that Maura wrangled her arms around the brunette detective's waist.

"Thank you for cleaning my kitchen and cooking our breakfast. It is delicious, Jay."

"No problem. I know that you like a clean kitchen, you OCD freak."

"Jay! It's humble of you. When you finish it, help me with the garage. I need things to donate away."

"You donate away. Can I donate your high-end shoes away to the goodwill?" Jane smirked. Maura swatted her hand on the brunette detective's arms. The ladies laughed until they reached the garage by using the backdoor. Maura put a code in the garage to open it.

The garage was very neat and organized; the boxes folded nicely. The cars were parked outside. Maura owned the Mercedes-AMG GT C Coupe in a Designo Iridium Silver Magno and Toyota Prius Hybrid in XLE AWD-e, and it was the electric storm blue.

Frost was drooling on Mercedes but never drove into it. Maura had her fun on the open road and took it to work a few times. The honey-blonde woman preferred the Toyota Prius because it saved a lot of gas and hybrid. She believed in the eco-green. Jane rolled her eyes at herself but didn't complain about the luxury cars Maura had.

In the garage, Jane was lifting the boxes out then placed outside on the small courtyard between the garage and the guest house. Maura did her part to unclutter things out and packed in the boxes that would go to the charities. The brunette detective didn't understand how Maura got a lot of junk things but kept it to herself. It pleased Maura longer until Jane wore herself out by lifting some heavy boxes.

"Jesus, why are you having a lot of things over there?"

"Well, I liked them and bought them without any thoughts. They looked beautiful in my house."

"So, why not to decorate in your yoga room? That's the way I don't see everything, Maur." Jane questioned with a shrug. Maura sent her a disapproving look before pointing to the box that was left in the garage. The brunette detective rolled her eyes before getting the last box to place outside.

"Maur, I hope this box is the last. I am tired. I want to sit on a lazy couch for a day and drink a beer. That should be our day off together. It's not that spring cleaning we are doing right now."

"Well, there are more left."

"Seriously? How much did you spend on all of the things?" Jane was meeking. Maura laughed before waving her hand for not mentioning anything.

"I like them. I bought them, Jay."

"Whatever. I hope they are donated somewhere without your knowledge. Or to want them back either."

"Jay! I paid for them. Well, not most of everything I paid. Some from Ian that he left over here when he was here with me."

"You mean, the international con man who was still an asshole to you." Jane criticized on that man Maura dated. The honey-blonde woman turned around and put her hands on her hips. She glared at her best friend.

"Jay! Don't."

"Sorry." Jane murmured before letting her head down and grabbing some small boxes to place outside. Maura sighed before observing in the garage. It was so clean and more space. She was thinking about converting the garage into something that Maura would enjoy her downtime.

It was time for the ladies to load in the Prius. Maura suggested Jane pick up some takeout from Chinese and deliver the boxes to Goodwill. The remaining boxes stayed behind in the guesthouse; that Maura would do in her downtime for decorating some things at the guesthouse.

Jane took the car keys from the foyer and started to drive on the road until she reached the place, Goodwill. The men who were unloading a big truck next to her. Jane scoured for the worker to help her out and got a ticket for the boxes that are donated away. The brunette detective nodded her thanks before heading to the Chinese place that gave the best reviews, and it did not provide Maura the taste of everything.

A few minutes later, the Chinese takeout carried in the house, and Jane called her best friend's name before placing it on the kitchen counter. She unpacked every container and grabbed some plates and utensils. Maura didn't show up.

"Maur!?"

Jane was perplexed about Maura's absence in the house. She held everything off on the table and went on the search in the house, the garage, and then the guesthouse. Maura was still working on the decorating in the living room. Jane was relieved that her best friend was here at the guesthouse.

"Maur, I brought the Chinese takeout. It's time to eat."

The honey blonde woman screamed when she heard Jane's voice behind her. She was clueless that time went fast when she worked in the guesthouse. The brunette detective sent her a bewildering look before sending her a smirk. Maura glared at her while dropping everything on the kitchen counter. The ladies went out after securing the guesthouse's door.

Entering the main house, Jane gestured to the dining table and sent a smile. Maura beamed at her before pecking on her cheek. The brunette detective nodded at herself before getting some drinks. She knew that Maura loved the wine, so it was poured in the wineglass. Maura exhaled softly. Jane placed the wineglass and her beer on the table.

The dinner was beginning. The ladies were enjoying their day off and feeling exhausted from working in the garage. Jane was annoyed about lifting heavy things, but her arms went sore. Maura was pleased with her time to decorate in the guesthouse. She took some thoughts before asking her best friend for her opinions.

"Jay? I have a question. I don't think if I should, but I wanted to let you know that..."

"Maur, you're rambling. That's ok. Tell me what you think?" Jane sent her a grin. Maura ceased to look at her before shaking her head.

"What do you think if I ask your mother to move in at the guesthouse? Since then, your mother lost her house."

"Really, Maur? Do you want that? I mean, Ma will barge in whenever she likes to express something. What if she comes in here, and you are in a different situation like making out on the couch?" Jane listed her fingers into the questionable conversation. Maura chuckled.

"Jay, I love your mother. I know your mother. I am fully sure that Angela has common sense when it happens here. We will have a decent conversation from time to time."

"Ok, what if Ma moves in your guesthouse, then will she interrupt your time with your mother about meddling in your love life?" The brunette detective indicted her chopsticks into Maura's face before eating some noddles. Maura opened her mouth but had no words at all.

It ended the conversation, but Maura insisted to ask Jane's mother to move in at her guesthouse. Jane sent her a careful look before shrugging. The honey blonde woman rolled her eyes and clasped on Jane's left hand.

"I would love to have Angela using my guesthouse. I wanted her to have a place to herself for free. I paid for this house, including the guesthouse and the pool. It's mine. Jay, I want to give your mother a sense of a place that she would like to stay. This house is big. I want your mother to host the Sunday dinner here like the old times that you took me in on my first day. Please, Jay?"

"Ok, Maur. If you complain about one thing from Ma, you will regret it forever."

"I won't regret it for a moment. I will prefer that it's more life here than being alone by myself."

The ladies looked at each other and grinned. The dinner was ending, and they moved to the living room to watch some funny movie that Jane wanted Maura to check out.
