Alright guys, the return is almost over and so this is my new story. I just wrote this chapter right now in like an hour and even if I know I should have waited until the return was over to upload it I just couldn't resist!

Chapter one :

Jane's secret.

It has been a month since Jane had killed Hoyt, 30 days since he threatened to kill her best friend, 30 nights since Jane was finally able to close her eyes and have a proper night of sleep for the first time in years.

After being scared and having nightmares about Hoyt coming after her for years Jane was finally able to live a normal life surrounded by her friends and family, or at least she was hoping to until that morning.

"Are you alright Jane?"Standing above her autopsy table, her scalpel in her hand Maura knew something was wrong with her best friend. Obviously she knew that going back to a normal life after had happened would take time but she never expected Jane to still be so distant after a month.

After what happened, after she witnessed her best friend literally sticking a scalpel into Hoyt's hear to save her things have changed. Jane was acting distant , she wouldn't come to her house for sleep overs or movie nights like she used to and would barely talk to her outside of anything work related. At first Maura thought she had done something wrong but quickly understand that Jane needed time but after 30 days she was starting to ask herself if something much deeper than Jane's need to cope was actually happening.

"Yeah, I just….I think those sushis Frost and I ate last night were no good." Jane replied her hand in front of her mouth feeling she was about to throw up.

"You do look awfully pale." Maura replied taking her gloves off.

"Thanks you look nice too."

"Come here, sit and roll up your sleeve." Maura instructed pulling a chair from under the autopsy table.

"Why?" Jane replied following Maura's orders.

"I'm going to draw some blood, you seem to be anemic but I can not make a definitive assessment until I draw some blood."

"Alright, alright." Jane replied rolling up her sleeves knowing there was no escaping Maura when she had something in mind.

"Alright. We're all done, see that wasn't so bad." Maura said a few minutes later pulling off her gloves.

"No, for someone who usually deals with dead patients, I admit you're good. Thank you." Jane replied finally giving her a smile after almost a month of barely looking at her.

"You're welcome. I will call you once I get the results."

"Alright. I will see you later call me if you have any news relative to our case." Walking towards the elevator her hand on her belly Jane already knew what the results would be but was too much of a coward to tell Maura.

Going home a few hours later Jane sitting in her couch, her case file on her lap trying to get that night off her mind, not the night she killed Hoyt which was also her birthday but the night that followed.

She remembered being home in her pajamas finally happy to be able to put this nightmare behind her when someone knocked on her door. Next thing she knew she was waking up the next morning naked in bed feeling that may have just committed the biggest mistake of her life.

A few hours later she went to work, trying to erase that night of her memory but failing miserably. For the next month she had found herself unable to look Maura in the eyes, dying to tell her what had happened but unable to find an explanation to justify her behavior. She knew that Maura was her best friend and that she wouldn't judge her, that she would actually be happy for her, but she couldn't, wouldn't tell her.

So for the past month Jane had cowardly avoiding Maura but she had a feeling that what happened that night was about to explode in her face.

A few hours after drawing Jane's blood Maura had finally received the results but couldn't believe her eyes.

"Now that certainly explains a lot." Maura said to herself re reading the results a third time scared that she might have misinterpreted them.

Sitting on her chair Maura was finally able to understand Jane's recent dizziness and stomach aches and her visible discomfort during autopsies.

Driving towards Jane's apartment that night a million questions were running through Maura's brain. She was wondering if Jane knew and if she did why she hadn't she tell her?

Knocking on Jane's door a few minutes later Maura took a deep breath determined to be as diplomatic as possible, knowing that confronting Jane and pushing her wouldn't do any good. She knew she needed to apprehend the situation with tact without judging her for not telling her or for actually putting herself in that position.

"Maura, it's half past ten, what are you doing here?"Opening the door seeing the concerned look on her friend's face Jane knew that the run was over and that it was time to face the truth and Maura as well.

"May I come in?" Standing there waiting for Jane to invite her in Maura realized that she hasn't been to Jane's place since her surprise birthday party.

" Yes please." Opening the door, inviting Maura in Jane had no doubt that her suspicions were correct and that Maura was here to confirm them to her.

Sitting on Jane's couch, taking a minute to gather her thoughts and find the most appropriate way to bring this subject up Maura knew that things could go two ways : Jane could either trust her and confide in her and accept her help or completely shut down and push her away, possibly for ever.

"So I have your results back." Pulling a piece of paper from her purse, slowly unfolding it Jane was giving Jane the opportunity to come clean and to tell her herself.

"I'm pregnant aren't I?"Sitting next to Maura nervously scratching the scars on her hand Jane was unable to look at her.

"Yes. Your HGG level indicates you're about 4 weeks pregnant." Moving a bit closer to Jane not knowing what to do or say Maura felt powerless for the first time since they met. Even if she never had great social skills Maura never had any problems understanding and helping Jane, they didn't need to talk or to do anything, they just understood each other's needs. Unfortunately this time, in that particular situation Maura didn't know what were the words Jane needed to hear.

"Okay."Feeling Maura's knee slightly touching hers Jane wanted to push her away so hard. She didn't want to see her like that, weak, uncertain.

All her life Jane has always acting like a strong, stubborn , protective Detective because that's how people saw her and needed her to be. With Maura it was different, even if she felt compelled to protect her and take care of her Jane knew she didn't have to hide her weaknesses from her. Maura was the only person she told about her nightmares and about what really happened in that basement. The trust she had in her was so strong that she was confident that Maura didn't see her as someone who was weak or unable to protect her. Unfortunately tonight, for the first time Jane couldn't talk to the only person on earth who she knew wouldn't judge her, the only person whose opinion truly mattered. For the first time Jane was paralyzed, unable to put together a simple sentence, actually she didn't even know how to feel, she was completely lost and after avoiding Maura for a month she needed her more than ever.

"I'm not going anywhere." Maura whispered gently taking her hand, resting her head on her shoulder.

That night Maura stayed with Jane holding her hand in silence. Obviously she had a millions question that she was dying to ask her but she knew it wasn't the time for her to ask them, Jane was allowing her to stay with her and she didn't want to take the risk to get pushed away.

So that night the two women stayed in Jane's living room without exchanging a word, probably because they didn't really know what to say. Over the past few years they had been through a lot : Hoyt came after them 3 times, Maura had discovered that her father was a mob and found herself in danger because of him, Jane had shot herself, not to mention that Ian had almost break them up, but they had survived all those terrible challenges. Unfortunately none of them knew how to apprehend this new challenge that was supposed to be the most amazing thing a woman could ever experience. Yes Jane and Maura had supported each other through death, hostage situations, ex boyfriends but they didn't know how to deal with Jane being pregnant, for now at least.

Holding her friend's hand that night Maura knew that there was no way she would ever leave Jane face this alone. She didn't know how she was going to assist her but she knew she had to be there for her every step of the way whether Jane decided to keep the baby or not, she needed to be there for her friend.

SO guys, what do you think?I think it was time I wrote a story where Maura is the one supporting Jane(appart from Broken). After finishing the return I realized that you were right : Maura is always the one being pregnant, so for once I think it should be fun to see Jane pregnant(if she decides to keep the baby)Also it should be interesting to see how their relationship is going to evolve in that particular situation, considering they're not dating. I think Jane is always written as the strong supportive one but we all know what Maura is capable off too(CF when she confronted Hoyt among other things)

I think this story has great potential and even if I revealed a lot in that first chapter a lot of questions are still unanswered won't be for a while(like the identity of the father of Jane's child).

As always this is a new story, it's up to you to tell me if you want me to continue!
