Work Text:
"Maura you didn't have to cook for me. I'm pretty content with a pizza or burger."
"I like cooking Jane. Besides you need to eat better."
"I know." replies Jane
Jane takes a swig of her beer.
The doorbell rings.
"Can you get that?"
"Sure...are you expecting someone?"
Maura shakes her head.
"It might be your mum."
Jane looks at her.
"Maybe she forgot her key."
Jane peeps though the eyehole.
"Oh my..."
"Who is it?"
Jane opens the door.
"Lydia...TJ, look at you you're so big."
"Can we come in?"
"Yea" replies Jane
Jane let's Lydia and TJ pass.
"I'm gonna call Tommy."
"Can you not?"
"He will want to see him." replies Jane
"I want that too, but can we talk first."
"Why don't I take TJ out for some ice cream so you can do that...is that alright?" says Maura
Lydia nods.
"Is that alright with you TJ?"
TJ nods.
TJ orders a Strawberry ripple ice cream and Maura sticks with a chocolate one.
"Are you and my aunty in love?"
Maura takes the napkin to wipe the ice cream that just spat out of her mouth.
"What...um...what would make you say that?"
"That's what I thought when I was last here." replies TJ
"Oh...we're just friends, best friends. You have a best friend, right."
TJ nods.
"Darren, he has two mum's."
"I see that's why you think you're aunty and I are in love."
"No, because I have eyes." replies TJ
Maura phone alerts a text.
'You're a star, thank you.
you can make your way back.
don't worry we haven't killed each other yet.
x Jane'
Another alert.
'Just realised the fact that I'm texting you kinda voids
that joke so ignore that last bit.
xXx Jane'
Maura smiles.
"Was that my aunt?"
"Yea...how did you know?"
"Like I said, I have eyes."
