A/N: This was an idea that came to me. Thought I'd write it out and share it.

This is an established relationship between Jane and Maura. Just pretend the Casey thing has never happened...that's right, look at the swaying pocket watch. Just back and forth. Never happened.

I don't own these characters, if I did I wouldn't need hypnosis.

San Francisco

Maura's door opened for her as she made her way out of the town car. She smiled politely at the driver as he tipped his head towards her. "Mr. Charles, Just make sure they have all three pieces of luggage taken to my room." She smiled again and walked up to the front door to her hotel as a young man ran over to the door and opened it for her. This early in the morning the air had a chill to it and she took a moment to look around at the fog covering the street. She smiled and walked inside.

The room was beautiful yet felt different from the more ornate hotel lobby's she was used to on the east coast. This had more of a simple, contemporary design. The hues were toned down and there was no gold or bronze colored hardware in sight. She saw the reception area and headed towards a woman with a short cropped hairstyle. "Hello, welcome! May I have your name?"

"Doctor Maura Isles," she said looking a little baffled that the woman assumed she had a reservation. She saw some intense clicking onto a keyboard until the woman's head popped back up.

"Dr. Isles! Your suite is ready for you, I will have Henry take you up. Do you have any luggage?"

"Yes, my driver is bringing it in now." She motioned over to the front door where her driver was indeed dragging in her bags. Henry received the motion from the woman and nodded as he grabbed the bags from the other man. She smiled, "Thank you Mr. Charles." She nodded at the man as he turned and left.

Henry stumbled to the elevators with her luggage in tow. "Dr. Isles, how was your flight?"

"It was fine. I rather prefer the red eye. It's only seven in the morning. It's like starting the day over again."

The boy gave her a strange look. "Yeah, I've been working the night shift. I get off in an hour!" She smiled sweetly at him.

Once she reached the room, she handed Henry his tip as he took his leave. She walked over to the sofa and put her purse down and took out her phone. She pressed a button and saw Detective Jane Rizzoli's photo pop up. She smiled as she held the phone to her ear.

"Hey there, I am supposing that you landed safely and made it to your room," came the husky voice.

"That would be correct, Detective." She smiled. She knew that Jane had been expecting a call once she was settled.

"Good. How was the flight?"

"It was fine, I got through my entire presentation and made all of my edits. Although, I think that I may have to further explain the difference of how a Medical Examiner can shift an examination between a forensic or clinical autopsy. Sometimes, I find many of my staff throughout Massachusetts do not fully understand when it is time to shift from one type to another."

"By staff, do you mean Pike?"

"Well, he would be a perfect example. Not everyone requires an autopsy, nor do they all need to be treated as a homicide. I get frustrated having to change his paperwork so often. However, he is not the only one. I think that television today gives people a false indication of what our profession is."

"And you, my dear, are the perfect person to set the record straight!" Sarcasm dripped from her lips. Luckily for Maura, she had been brushing up on her Rizzoli sense of humor. She had a crash course when the two became friends. But when they became lovers, Maura realized that Jane teased her even more. It was hurtful at first until she realized that the more Jane loves you, the more Jane teases. So, now she welcomed the jokes and sarcasm as a sign that their relationship was safe and steady.

"I think that I just may be the perfect solution and you are making fun of me again."

"Only because I love you and I miss you. I have no one to whine to about the emergency from this morning."

"Emergency? Jane! Why didn't you say something sooner!" Panic seemed to instantly fill her chest.

"Wait, it's not an emergency per se." Maura rolled her eyes as the feeling began to ease its way back out. "Stanley just made an error and did not order enough coffee. They actually ran out. Ma tried to run down to the closest coffee shop to buy a few bags. But I caught a scene and had to get something on the way there. I was not amused."

"Jane, really?"

"Well, just so you know. It wasn't even a homicide. They thought it was but that is because you should give your presentation to a few of the rookies in patrol. And Frankie was the last to get his cup filled and was wafting it in my face. I couldn't even tell you about it cause you weren't here. Ma just slapped me upside my head when I told her."

Maura laughed. "I am only here for a few more days. Then, I will be back home with you. But I have to go. I have to add a few things to my slides and make a few more notes. I don't present until tomorrow morning. But I would like to get there early for a good seat for the 'Blasts and Crashes'' presentation."

"Well, make sure if anyone else fights you for a front row seat. I taught you a few good moves so that you can get your preferred seat."

"Very funny, Detective. I will call you later this evening. There is a dinner with colleagues early tonight. I'm not sure when I'll get back to the room and with the time change..."

"That's alright. I really want you to enjoy yourself. I'll be here when you're finished. I love you, Maur."

"And I you. Thank you," she said with a sad smile.

"For what?"

"Teaching me moves so that I get my seat." Maura smirked. She had learned a few things from the brunette.

Jane laughed loudly. "Go finish your stuff. I gotta go. Korsak thinks he is winning this round of post-it-shuffleboard." Maura heard a muffled, "That is cheating! Old Man I saw you blow the paper down the track! You're supposed to flick it and leave it. It lands where it lands!" Maura giggled knowing that it must be a boring afternoon if they broke out that old game. "Ok, Maur, I love you and I'll talk to you later."

"Bye!" She walked over to her tablet and pulled it out. She sat on the sofa and pulled up her presentation. It was only a few hours before she needed to head towards the convention center. She looked out of her window and looked at San Francisco. She could see some of the bay and in a tiny corner she saw the red of the Golden Gate Bridge. She wanted to bring Jane on this trip. Jane had never been to the City. Cavanaugh quickly killed the idea when he refused to let her have leave at the same time Maura was going to be gone. Maura had a sneaking suspicion it was due to the recent break up between Sean and Angela. She remained quiet in her opinion. Jane seemed a little upset but had gotten over it quickly.

Maura turned her head and saw the City and noted it's vast differences and also it's similarities with Boston. She was always amazed at how each City could look completely different from one another, yet still had similarities. She looked down towards the street below and saw a car struggling up the hill. She had been here a few times before and knew that she was near Union Square. She was going to go shopping for Jane between seminars she had decided. But first, she needed to freshen up.

Jane tossed her phone onto her desk. "Ok, Old Man, here we go." She grabbed the post-it and rolled it up into a tight little ball. Frost looked at her and rolled his eyes. She got down on the floor and positioned the crumpled paper on the scotch tape that was on the floor. She prepared her middle finger against her thumb and flicked. The little ball rolled furiously down the floor and stopped on the other side of the green ball that Korsak had just flicked. "Next time, Partner, don't let him cheat. It is not ok. Even if he is on my team. I like to win fair and square."

"No one really gets into this game the way you do, Jane. And Korsak just didn't wanna let you down. Cause he knows we just scored BIG time while you were on the phone with your wife." Frost nodded towards Frankie who yelped in agreement.

"Well, firstly, she isn't my wife...yet. And secondly, what did you score?"

"Seven!" Frankie said very pleased with their performance. Frost smiled and nodded. Korsak looked at Jane and shrugged.

"Dammit!" She looked up and an angry looking Cavanaugh came storming out of his office. Everyone attempted to kick the papers out of the middle of the floor.

"Goddammit, Rizzoli! Couldn't you find something better to do than throw shit around my pen? Why don't you go home or somethin'?"

"Sorry, sir! We were just passin' time since we finished our paperwork. I asked for some time off and you denied me, sir. So, I would rather stay here."

He glared at her. "Yeah, well, I don't think you should be getting paid to horse around all day. So go home!" He turned around and went back into his office and slammed the door. They all stood there and looked at Jane.

"He has no right treating you like that just because he broke up with your Ma!" Frost immediately said in a hushed whisper.

"He's right, Jane. You've gotta talk to him about that. He broke Ma's heart." Frankie agreed.

"Well, I wouldn't say he broke her heart," Korsak started. "But he might have a reason why he is acting this way. Let me talk to him. You go on home."

Jane stood there and listened to each man say his peace. "If I was allowed the time off, I could have been sittin' in a giant hotel suite in San Francisco waiting for Maura to get back from her seminar and pulling the ring out of my pocket. This is bull shit. San Francisco would have been the perfect place to propose. He ruined that for me by not letting me take a week off."

"Wait, you were gonna propose?" Korsak said, slightly shocked.

"Yeah,I was. I have never asked for time off when she goes off to give some lecture about a dead body part? I work overtime more than most. I've never been to San Francisco. I wanted her to take me around the City to her favorite places and ask her when we got to the top of Twin Peaks."

"Nice Jane! You do see the symbolism of a lesbian asking her girlfriend's hand in marriage at the top of Twi..." Frost started but was abruptly cut off.

"Yes, you perv. But that isn't why I wanted to do it there, asshole." She rolled her eyes. "I wanted to have a great view of a beautiful City surrounding us on every side. She has described that place to me twice. And both times she had this look on her face. And the first time we were just friends. And I thought she made it sound romantic. The second time she told me about it, I knew that is where I wanted to ask her."

Korsak turned, walked away, and went into Sean's office. She shrugged and grabbed her jacket. "I'll see you guys tomorrow."

After she got back to her apartment, she began to miss Maura. Jo jumped around at her feet. She went into her room and opened her email. She smiled as she saw the Doctor's name. She opened the email and read it. It was so typical of her girlfriend to send her a completely harmless email, with a few dirty lines sandwiched in between. She decided to go to her room and take care of herself.

Deciding to forego the vibrator approach, Jane stripped herself of her pants and took off her shirt and got into her bed with just her panties and tank top on. She put her phone on the bedside table and got into "her" position. She started to think about her beautiful girlfriend and she closed her eyes and imagined what she could have been doing with said girlfriend had she been there with her. She thought about Maura's naked body and how much she loved to touch and lick certain spots along her stomach and breasts. Breasts instantly became the thought at the front of the line. Sometimes, Jane could not believe how perfect those breasts were. Literally, they defied gravity and were very perky even without a bra. She loved to lick and suck on those nipples.

The brunette began to moan a little bit at the thought of a hardened nipple in her mouth. The taste of Maura, though a distant memory, could still be remembered. Her own hand trailed down her own stomach and she rubbed along the top of her underwear. She began to think about what it sounded like when she was kissing and sucking on Maura's tits, because right about this time, Maura would begin to moan and sometimes say her name. "Jaaaanne..." she would say in a darker, deeper voice that not many people ever had the privilege to hear. Jane's hips jerked upwards and she pushed her hand down below and touched herself.

She began to slowly rub her clit as she imagined the doctor would be doing to her. If only Maura could hear her now. She knew that the medical examiner was not shy about sex. She also knew that Maura loved to watch and listen to Jane pleasure herself. She looked over at her phone for a moment. Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to let Maura know that she missed her. She continued rubbing herself and with her free hand she reached over and grabbed the phone. She looked for the video app and turned it on.

She looked up at herself, "Dammit!" She didn't want to watch herself. She closed her eyes and focused on her task at hand. She decided that she was getting close enough with just her own stimulation. She hit the record button and closed her eyes.

"Fuck! Maura. Yeah, Baby! That's right, touch me." She smiled slightly and decided to go inside. She shoved two fingers into herself and began thrusting her hips as her fingers reached deep inside. The phone was focused on her facial expressions and was recording her moans. "I miss you, Maur. You are the only thing I can think...ah! About!" She started moving her hand faster and her hips bucked upwards. "You are making me come so hard...right...now!" Jane made her 'O' face while the camera continued to record. "Fuck!" Jane looked at her phone as she rode out her orgasm. "I love you and miss you. I hope you enjoyed this little video" She gave her signature smirk and hit the stop button. She set the phone on the table and went to take a shower.

After a shower she decided it was late enough to eat dinner. She grabbed her phone and made an order for pizza. While she was waiting for the food to arrive, she wrote a text to Maura with the video attached.

-Maur, I made you a video. NSFW.

Sent. She leaned back on her couch and turned on the television. Her phone rang. She looked at it and rolled her eyes. Of course, work.

Maura was having fun. She was sitting at a table with two of her old professor's from her BCU days and a few other colleagues from around the country. "And then my tech turned to me and said, 'But, aren't all carpet fibers made of the same thing?'" The table erupted into laughter. "it wouldn't have been so bad if the DA and the head Detective on the case weren't sitting there. It made me look as though I had to most uneducated staff! I, of course, used it as a learning tool and explained carpet fibers to him. Later, we talked about it more I explained to him about the various types of materials are in various fibers. Which is why we ran the test in the first place. He was just an assistant of course. But I thought you had to go to college for those things!" The man stopped talking as a few people seemed to start having their own conversation . Maura was not fond of the gentleman's story, made him seem a bit pompous in her opinion. But everyone here spoke her language. And most of the stories were invigorating.

"Aren't you in charge of who you hire? Why wouldn't you have screened him?" She couldn't help but ask.

"Well, he was hired before I started. Basically, he just did what he was told. He never paid any attention to what he was doing." The man looked at her and smiled. As if the answer was obviously not his fault.

"Well, I have a fantastic Senior Criminalist," she said enthusiastically. "She was trained at my Alma Mater and is quite capable in her own right." He smiled at her again. She looked at him for a moment and realized she knew that look. Since, she was speaking to him, he was thinking that she was interested in him. One of her professors was sitting to her right and overheard her conversation.

"Ah, yes! Susie! She is quite brilliant. She was a fantastic student of mine you know. I believe I was a reference for her when she applied for the job with your office, Maura."

"Yes, I hadn't spoken with you for quite some time. It was great to catch up when I called you to speak about her." She smiled, thankful to not have to be stuck talking to the medical examiner from...where ever he was from.

"Maura, that's a beautiful name, Dr. Isles. I didn't realize what your first name was until just now." Her attention looked back over.

"I am afraid I did not catch your name either," she really didn't care much but figured she should have a name to go along with the story she would be sure to tell Jane later.

"My name is Jim. Dr. Jim Spencer. I work in Cincinnati."

"I've never been to Cincinnati, Jim." She smiled and turned back to her professor.

"Well, perhaps you should stop by sometime and I could show you around my lab. By the way, it seems like dinner is over and we are just sitting here chatting. Would you care to go to the bar and grab a drink?"

She knew he was going to ask her something like this. She thought about how she was going to get out of this invitation. Just then her phone beeped. She pulled it out of her clutch and saw she had a text from Jane. She smiled and looked up at Jim.

"I'm sorry, my girlfriend just texted me. She sent a video. You can go ahead to the bar, I'm going to see what she sent." He looked at her for a moment.

"Well, watch the video and then we can go over together. I don't mind waiting. I'm sure your friend is just sending some video of her kid or something."

Maura looked at him not quite understanding what he meant. She opened the text.

-Maur, I made you a video. NSFW.

She looked at it for a moment and attempted to understand what NSFW meant. Then, she made the connection with what Jim had said. It was probably supposed to say TJ and the phone autocorrected to those weird letters. She smiled and hit the play button. She expected to see the cute little Rizzoli on the screen. She was slightly confused when all she saw was Jane face contorted in a weird way. Then, came the sound.

"Fuck! Maura. Yeah, Baby! That's right, touch me." Maura's mouth fell open. She felt her entire body turn beat red. She looked up at everyone at the table for a moment then grabbed her phone and attempted to turn the volume down. She became flustered and embarrassed and turned it up instead.

"I miss you, Maur. You are the only thing I can think...ah! About! You are making me come so hard...right...now!" Frantically, she attempted to stop the video, but for some reason she hit the pause and play button on repeat as the video continued playing in broken pieces. By now the entire table was looking at the woman.

"Fuck! I love you and miss you. I hope you enjoyed this little video" Maura sat there with her mouth still open, phone in hand, too embarrassed to look up. She grabbed her purse and jacket and left the table without looking back she left the restaurant. She quickly walked across the hotel lobby and pressed the elevator button in quick succession until the doors opened. She got inside and saw Jim walking towards her hurriedly. She pressed the close door button and he disappeared.

She pressed her floors button. She looked down at the perpetrator. She had never been so embarrassed in her entire life. It was so very unprofessional and not ethical to listen to her girlfriend masturbate whilst at dinner with medical examiners from around the country. Most of those people were going to be sitting in her seminar tomorrow! The elevator stopped and she walked straight to her room. She closed the door and threw her phone on the bed. She thought for a moment. NSFW. Not suitable for Work. Dammit, what an idiot! She was warned and she did not realize it.

She thought about calling Jane and telling her what had happened. But instead, she realized that she was quite turned on herself. She looked at the phone lying on the bed. She realized that she mainly heard the video but did not actually watch it or get to enjoy it. She picked up the phone and found the text again. She hit play. She sat on the bed and watched as Jane had pleasured herself just for her. Her heart swelled for her detective and she wished she was there with her now. She hit the call button.

"Hey, did you get my..." Jane started. She pulled the luggage to the bed.

"Yes! I got it. So, did the entire table of colleagues I was sitting with."

"What? I said it was not for watching in a work environment."

"I know. I thought you were telling me that it was you and TJ. I couldn't remember what NSFW meant. So, I played it. Then, I couldn't turn the damn thing off."

There was silence for a moment on the other end of the line. "Jane, I was mortified. I came back to my room and I watched it again. Less mortified. More turned on."

There was silence again. "Jane?"

She heard something muffled on the line. "Sorry, I put you on mute because I was laughing so hard! Are you for real? You played THAT video while sitting at the dinner table with a bunch of stuffy medical examiners?" She laughed some more, "I bet they all went back to their rooms! I probably gave them the thrill of a lifetime!"

Maura was about ready to chastise for laughing, but realized it was funny. Of course, something like that would happen to her. But the point seemed to be lost as Maura got wrapped up in listening to Jane laugh through the phone. It was one of her favorite things about the detective because in their line of work, laughter was rare. "Jane, once you are done laughing at my unpleasant situation. I would like to get back to the actual content of your video."

Jane stopped laughing. "Did you like the content of the video, Maur?" She chuckled a little bit.

"Very much. I sort of thought that perhaps we could talk a little bit about it and maybe I could make one for you. You know return the favor?"

"So, you want me to talk dirty to you so you can send me a video of you...doin' stuff...to yourself?"

Maura breathed out a small moan, "If you'd like me to. I mean, three more days of conferencing, then a travel day. That's a long time to go without feeling your body against mine."

Jane held the phone to her shoulder and looked down at her task, butterflies filled her stomach. "You know, I would love that. How do ya wanna start?" She reached over and opened a drawer.

"Well, what are you doing right now and what are you wearing?"

"I'll tell you what I'm wearing. I have on my BPD tank top on with my sports bra. Some shorts." Jane looked down at her attire. She grabbed some clothes out of the top drawer and threw them on the bed. "What are you wearing? Is it cold there in San Francisco?"

"Hmmm...well, it's usually chilly in the mornings and warms up by the afternoon. I have on that blue dress with the small straps that you made me wear out for dinner about a month ago." Maura reached behind herself and unzipped the dress.

"I love that dress on you. It's very sexy. I think it would be hard for you to not look sexy though. You could wear a football jersey and look incredibly sexy, Maur." Jane opened her closet door and looked at what was hanging in the closet. She grabbed a few jackets and threw them on the bed. A few pants and a dress soon followed.

Maura stepped out of the dress and climbed on the bed. She slipped under the covers and started to knead at her own breast. "Thank you, Jane. I miss your mouth. You have this way of kissing me right where I need it. I love when you suck on the side of my neck or bite it. You never bite me too hard. Just right." She moved her hand and swiped it across her stomach.

Jane growled, "Shit. I love kissing your neck, just your skin tastes like...like you. But what got me excited earlier was thinking about sucking on your nipples." She looked around the room and looked at the clock. She ran into the bathroom and started grabbing things. Then, she thought better of it and just grabbed a couple of toiletries.

"Mmmm. Detective. I wish you were doing that right now. I love how your mouth feels all over me." She started tweaking her nipple thinking about her lover's tongue running over it.

Jane opened the large piece of luggage and started shoving her pile into it. She grabbed her phone charger and threw it in. "Oh, baby. I wanna rub my hands down your body and grab your ass." She looked around and remembered shoes. She opened her closet grabbed a few pairs and threw them in.

"Oh, yes." Maura slipped her hand under her panties. "Jane, I want you to touch me. I want you inside of me."

Jane stopped mid zip and stood up in the middle of her room. She smiled. "You have no idea how much I want that right now, Maur. I love you so much! Soon, I will be able to run my hand down and slip inside." She opened her bedside table drawer and looked at the small box. "I better get off the phone if you are gonna send me that video. Cause I do want that video." She grabbed the box and opened it. Seeing the ring safe and sound. She closed it again and shoved it in her pocket.

"Ok, I love you, Jane. I can't wait for you to feel me come." Maura hung up the phone quickly and looked for the video recorder. She pressed record.

Jane shoved her phone in the other pocket and walked out into her living room, pulling the luggage behind her. "Thanks for watching Jo for me. We'll be back next week. Cavanaugh gave me the entire week. Tell Korsak I owe him big time."

"Good luck, sweetheart! She'll say yes. So, don't you worry about that. She loves you." Angela smiled at her daughter. "But let's get you to the airport." Both women walked out the door.

Maura laid on the bed breathing heavily for a few moments. She smiled and sent the text to Jane. Feeling somewhat refreshed, she decided to go ahead and take a bath. She walked into the bathroom and started the water. She grabbed a robe and put it on. She heard someone knocking at her door. Puzzled she went over and looked through the peep hole. Jim. How did he find her room? She opened the door.

"Dr. Spencer. What are you doing here?"

"Dr. Isles," with the use of his professional name he had become unsure of his coming this far to talk with the beautiful woman. His face reddened. "I just wanted to make sure that you were alright. You left the table so abruptly. I wanted to do the gentlemanly thing and check on you."

She studied him for a moment and felt sorry that he felt some sort of need to find her room and actually knock on the door. "Jim, I appreciate the sentiment. I did not realize that Jane would send something of that nature, I assure you. I was quite disconcerted at the time, but am feeling better now. Thank you for your concern."

"It's just that I had a friend accidentally send me a sex video too. He meant to send it to his girlfriend. I know how it feels. It's embarrassing. But with technology these days." He laughed uncomfortably.

"Dr. Spencer. The video was intended for my eyes and ears. It's just that it was intended for my eyes and ears, only. My girlfriend made the video for me to enjoy, alone, by myself in the privacy of my own room." His mouth dropped open.

"Uh, when you say girlfriend, do you mean your friend that you two get drunk and make out or something? Cause I can handle that!" He laughed again as if he had figured it out.

"No, I mean, my girlfriend. As in we've been dating one another for the past year. Jane and I are very much in love and very much together." She saw the hope fly out of his eyes.

"Oh. I see. I apologize Dr. Isles. I didn't think that you were, in that way."

"In what way, Jim?" She feigned ignorance.

"You know. A. Well, a...lesbian." He whispered the last word.

"Jim, I apologize if you misread something during dinner. I am very busy getting ready for my presentation tomorrow. So, unless there is something else you feel you need to discuss. I must say goodnight." He stood there in the doorway and stammered for a moment. Then, defeated his shoulders slumped and he nodded.

"Good night, Dr. Isles. I look forward to listening to your presentation in the morning." He turned and walked down the hallway. Maura closed and locked the door. She heard the bath and hurried to turn it off. She tested the temperature and disrobed.

Maura awoke with a start as her phone began to ring. She lazily looked at the screen and saw Jane's face. "Jane? Are you ok?"

"Yeah. I'm fine Maura. I know it's late but I am standing down here in the lobby of your hotel and they won't tell me where your room is. They say it's private information and they don't just hand it out to anyone off the street."

"What? Is this a joke?" Maura sat up in the bed.

"No, It's not a joke. Korsak talked to Cavanaugh for me and he gave me a week off. So, while you were making your porn video, I was packing a bag to get on a plane. Seriously, I am downstairs. The lobby is pretty nice eh? But this Henry guy is ticking me off with the privacy bull shit."

"Oh my God! You really are here! I didn't tell you about Henry the bell hop! I'm on the top floor, room 1345. I am so excited! Come up here immediately!" She jumped out of the bed and looked around to straighten up the room. She looked at the bags from her earlier shopping excursion. She reached into one of the bags and grabbed Jane's present. She began to take off her pajamas.

Jane turned her head towards Henry, "Told you, she's in room 1345."

"Yeah, well. You can never be too careful. Besides I had to fight with some other guy about where her room was already a few hours ago. He was a weird one. He told me the same thing. That she was his girlfriend and he wanted to surprise her."

"What? Did he tell you his name? Did you tell him what room was hers?"

Henry looked at the detective. "No, I didn't tell him. He stormed off. He said his name was Jim."

Jane looked at the boy and decided he was telling the truth. Now, she was on a mission to get to the room as quickly as possible.

Maura heard the knock on the door and she smoothed out an imaginary wrinkle in her nightgown and opened the door. "Well, Detective..." She thought she saw Jane as she breezed past her in the doorway into the room. Maura spun around and watched at the woman was frantically looking around the room.

"Is he still here? Did you have time to get him out of the room before I got up here?"

"What? Who?"

"Maur, don't fuck with me right now. Why are you wearing that teddy?"

"Jane, what are you talking about? I just put this on for you."

"Jim. Is Jim still here?"

Maura looked at her curiously, "Jane, what do you think is going on?"

"Well, Henry just told me about some guy named Jim trying to find out where your room was earlier, said you were his girlfriend and he was here to surprise you." Maura started laughing. "This isn't funny Maura!"

Her laughing calmed, "No, honey. I'm sorry. It's not. Dr. Spencer was at the dinner when the...incident occurred. He came up to my room to check on me. He was hitting me earlier and misunderstood when I told him I had a girlfriend. He thought I meant a friend that was a girl. I was quite clear with him, told him to leave, and he left to lick his wounds."

Jane visibly relaxed. "Well," she started. She knew she was not acting rationally. "I can't blame a guy for hitting on you. You are the most beautiful woman to ever set foot in this city." She walked over appreciating the nightgown Maura put on for her. She put her hands on the other woman's hips. "And I might have overreacted just a bit."

Maura smiled. "You might have just a little bit. But at the same time it feels nice to know that after a year together, you still love me enough to get a little jealous now and again." Maura lifted her arms around her detective's neck.

"So, this is San Francisco, Dr. Isles?"

"Indeed, it is, Detective Rizzoli."

"What time is your presentation in the morning?"

"It's at ten. My session is two hours. Then, we have lunch and I signed up for an afternoon session. But I don't have to go. I've been to that seminar before. Would you like to spend the afternoon with me. I would love to show you around the City. Lombard Street, Coit Tower, Fisherman's wharf, and my personal favorite is Twin Peaks. You can see most of the City from there. And the drive up there is through a nice neighborhood with some gorgeous houses."

Jane wrapped her arms around the smaller woman and lifted her a bit. "Sounds like a date! Now, I watched that video on the plane about twenty times. So, how about we explore that a bit." She walked towards the bed and Maura laughed.

"Detective. I do need proper sleep and it is almost 4 in the morning."

"Perfect! That means it's seven our time. So, we should be wide awake." She laid her down and crawled towards her. "I'm just helping you relax and get rid of the presentation jitters." She leaned down and kissed the blonde on the side of her neck. Maura moaned and Jane smiled as she bit lightly. She moaned louder. "That's my girl," she whispered against perfect skin.

A few hours later, Jane was dressed and ready to accompany Maura to her presentation. "I told you I am excited to sit and listen to you talk about cutting up dead people. I get to watch you do it all the time And you do an excellent job of it. And you look super sexy while doing it. And I want to support you. So, yes. I want to go. I'm dressed and ready to go!" Jane motioned to her outfit.

Maura smiled and leaned forward for a kiss. She pulled back and gave herself one more look in the mirror.

"You look perfect. You always look perfect." Jane smiled and knew that was what Maura wanted to hear. She felt the box in the pocket of her jacket. She grabbed it and held it. This was it. This afternoon, she was going to propose. The only thing she wasn't sure of was what to say. Or when to get down on one knee. That was what she was really going to be thinking about and figuring out during the lecture.

"Let's go then," Maura grabbed her tablet and both women headed out the door.

The lecture hall was slowly starting to fill up. Maura walked to the front where a woman had a headset on. They discussed how to set Maura up with the microphone and how to connect her tablet to the overhead screen. Jane chose a seat towards the back and watched the woman she loved prepare herself for this lecture. Eventually, Jane looked around and noticed that the room had filled up. She could not see an empty seat in the room.

A man went up on the stage and picked up a microphone. "Hello? Is this on? Hi! I am Dr. Jim Spencer." Jane's attention sharpened. She studied the man and realized he was not even close to being Maura's type. "I am the lucky guy who gets to announce our speaker for this seminar this morning. This is one of the most amazing and accomplished women in our field. Her work on several serial cases has become what young people are studying in our colleges and universities. Her case studies on appropriate technique of completing an autopsy has been published in a few journals that we all know and love. Please give a warm welcome to the Chief Medical Examiner for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Dr. Maura Isles." The crowd began to clap and cheer. Jane felt her chest get bigger. She had never been more proud of Maura. She realized that she took the other woman for granted and was a very accomplished professional.

She knew that she relied on her for information regarding their cases. But Maura was very instrumental in most of their cases. Without her, many of the murders they solved would not be solved. She was very grateful to have Maura in a professional manner. She also realized that she really was breathtakingly beautiful. She watched from the back as the woman she loved began to speak.

There was a small crowd of men crowded around Maura after the session was over. Jane made her way over. Maura looked and saw her walking towards her. She lifted her hand, "Jane," she motioned. The Detective walked over and gave the woman a hug.

"You were fantastic, Dr. Isles." Maura beamed and pulled back for a moment.

"Jane, this is a former professor of mine. Dr. Rogers. He taught my criminology 301 class at BCU. Dr. Rogers, this is Detective Jane Rizzoli. She is one of the Detectives that I work with and mentioned in my presentation." Maura kept a hand on Jane's shoulder.

"Ah, Detective Rizzoli. I have read about you more than once in the local newspaper. Quite a hero."

Jane smiled, "Thank you, Sir."

Maura gestured to a few other people standing near. She wrapped an arm around the brunette's waist. "Jane, this is Dr. Spencer. Jim, this is my girlfriend, Jane."

Jane registered what Maura was telling her. This was the same Jim who was stalking her girlfriend. She was also telling Jim that Jane now knew who he was. Jane reached her hand out and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you Dr. Spencer." She smiled at him.

Jim shook the Detective's hand and noticed the look in her eye . It was a clear message to back away from Maura as soon as possible. He looked back and forth between both women and made his excuses to leave. They stood around for a few more minutes while she stood back and watched people ask questions and remark on Maura's performance. She smiled and let her woman bask in the glory for a while.

Finally, the hall had emptied. Maura grabbed her things and the two headed out to find a place to eat lunch.
