Chapter Text
Jane's phone rings.
'Hello'
'Jane, are you still downstairs?'
'Oh...yea I just last track of time.'
'You've been gone an hour...is everything ok."
'Yea totally...but don't come down here.'
'I wasn't going to...Jane are you ok?'
'Yea...' replies Jane
Thump, then the line goes dead.
Frankie jumps up out of his chair.
"Where you going?"
"Something is going on with Jane and Maura."
Frankie gets downstairs searching for Jane and bangs on Maura's office.
Jane opens it.
"Frankie, what you doing here."
"I thought you were in trouble." replies Frankie
"Well I'm not, so...you can go."
Frankie looks over Jane's sholder.
"What's going on."
"Nothing."
Frankie pushes past Jane.
"Frankie" shouts Maura
"Hey Frankie's here" replies Kent
"Hey guys...are they drunk?"
"No" replies Jane
"They're high"
"Keep you're voice down"
"Oh my God...damn it I forgot my phone on my desk"
"Don't you dare" Jane warns
"Fine, I'll just make a mental note of this"
Frankie leaves.
Kent starts giggling which starts Maura giggling.
Then Kent drops off the sofa and stops laughing.
"Oh my God...Kent, are you alright?" asks Jane
Kent starts laughing again.
Jane shakes her head.
"Well, that's going to hurt in the morning"
"You're my best friend"
"That's good 'cause you're mine too," replies Jane
"Jane"
"Yes" replies Jane
"JANE"
"Ok, don't shout I'm right here"
"Jane I need to tell you something"
"Tell me later"
"No, I want to tell you now."
Jane looks at Maura.
"Ok"
"I've never told you this but I love..."
"Glazed donuts, yea you've told me that"
"...you"
"Me too" replies Jane
"No, silly I mean I love you, love you. I think about you when we're not together, about us being together"
"What?"
"I think about you a lot in...undress...shush...naked, totally naked. you're sexy naked"
Jane looks over at Kent. Who is now snoring.
6 hours later.
Jane walks into Maura office.
"Hey, How you feeling?"
"Well, i'm never going near majuana again."
"Do you remember anything about what happend when you were high? Maybe something you said" asks Jane
"What that I love glazed donuts"
"What?"
"That's why you brought those, right"
"Huh?"
Maura points to the donuts in Jane's hand.
"Oh, right"
Jane hands over the donuts.
"I just...um...came to see if you were ok"
"I'm ok" replies Maura
"ok, good...I should probably get back to work"
Jane leaves.
Later that night at Maura's place.
"You know you should think about having a house warming party" says Maura
"Maura"
"Are you sticking by the whole not decorating thing" asks Maura
Maura looks at Jane.
"You remember, don't you?"
Silence.
"Is it too late to say I was joking"
Jane smiles.
"You're not really very good at that"
"The lying or the joking?"
"Both" replies Jane
"This is not how I wanted you to find out"
"Do you remember what you said?"
"Yes...It's like I was outside of my body. These words were coming out of my mouth...I was just powerless to stop them"
"Do you regret it?"
"I guess that depends on..."
"Maur" Jane cuts her off
"No....look if you want me to take it back I will, but it won't be the truth"
"How long have you felt this way?"
Maura shrugs.
"I can't really pinpoint a time"
"I'm sorry, Maura"
"Yea"
Maura sucks her bottom lip into her mouth as a tear falls from her eye.
"I'm sorry you had to go through this alone"
"It's not really something you should apologise for...Jane, please tell me this won't change things between us"
"I hope it does" replies Jane
Jane moves closer to Maura, breaking away from the kiss seconds later.
"I love you,too...incase you didn't get that from the kiss"
Maura smiles.
"What now?" asks Maura
The next morning.
Maura comes to the kitchen.
"Morning, Angela"
Maura kisses Angela on the cheek.
"Morning sweetie...is Jane here?"
Maura nods.
Angela shakes her head.
"At least she's not sleeping on the couch" replies Maura
"True...maybe she'll find her way to her apartment next time"
"I hope not" whispers Maura
"Pardon"
"Nothing" replies Maura
5 minutes later Jane walks in to the kitchen.
"Morning"
"Did you sleep at all last night" asks Angela
"Yes, actually"
"That's something I guess" Angela replies
Angela's phone rings. She answers it.
'Hello'
"Coffee?" Maura asks Jane
Jane nods, her eyes never leave Maura.
Angela watches them in silence.
'um...yea, I'm here' Angela tells Ron leaving the room.
"I'm sorry about last night"
"It's alright, at least you had more than 3 hours sleep"
"You know I...wanted to"
Maura walks over to Jane and kisses her.
"Plenty of time for that"
Maura and Jane's phones ring. The usual greetings exchanged and they're off to a crime scene.
8 hours later Angela walks into the squad room.
"Ma, what are you doing here?"
"Well you probably haven't eaten all day"
Angela hands over a brown paper bag.
Jane opens it, in it a peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich and a packet of chips.
"Thank you"
Jane takes a piece of her sandwich in both hands. She's about to take a bite when.
"Was there something else?" asks Jane
"Janey, you know I love you right"
Jane puts her sandwich down.
"Where's this conversation going?"
"I just want you to know that...and that all I want is for you to be happy"
Jane stares back at her mum.
"Oookay"
Angela kisses Jane's cheek and leaves.
"Is everything alright?" asks Korsak
Jane doesn't answer.
"Jane"
"Humm" answers Jane
"Are you ok?"
"Um yes, totally...I'm gonna eat this downstairs, is that ok?"
"Of course" replies Korsak
Jane goes to Maura's office.
"I'm glad you're here"
Maura gets up from her desk walking over to the door.
"What's wrong?"
"I just had a weird conversation with my mom"
"Weird, how?" asks Maura
"Doesn't matter"
Maura closes the door.
"Maybe we should have talked about not doing this at work"
Maura takes a seat on the couch.
"I want to talk about last night"
Jane sits next to her on the couch.
"You said it was fine"
"Jane, I'm worried about you" replies Maura
"I'm fine"
"You're clearly not...you're having nightmares"
"I thought you were sleeping"
"At least think about seeing someone"
"I don't need to..."
"Jane"
"Because I'm already seeing someone"
"Really?"
Jane nods
"Ok, I'll shut up then"
"That's it no follow up questions" asks Jane
"How long?"
"I seen Dr Kaplan 10 times since Holt" replies Jane
"Wow"
"And?"
"And nothing" replies Maura
"You don't want to know what was said"
"Yea, I want to, but Jane therapy sections are private. You'll tell me when you're ready to...if"
"When" Jane assures her
Maura interlinks her fingers with Jane's.
"I could kiss you right now"
"I dare you" replied Maura
Jane leans forward...then she stands heading for the door.
"What about your lunch?"
"I'm coming back, I just need to use the loo"
Maura smiles at her.
"To pee...I'm a bad influence on you"
"I don't see that"
Jane leaves Maura's office laughing. She bumps into Angela.
"Hey, Ma"
"Janey" replies Angela
"What?"
"Nothing" replies Angela
Angela walks away smiling.
