Jane and Maura sat there in silence. Jane didn't dare look Maura in the eye. She could feel the heat of her stare. Jane, who become more nervous with each passing moment didn't speak, felt she begin to panic like she had never panicked before.

"How was I supposed to know there was a law against indecent exposure in New Hampshire?" Jane said looking left and then right. She lowered her voice again. "I mean…isn't there a law against them just sneaking up on you and coming out of nowhere. I…I was just trying to be…ahhh- what's the word? Spontaneous!" Jane said snapping her fingers.

"Now I'm sitting her babbling cause you haven't since a word since we got into the police car and I'm kind of starting to panic something fierce Maura. Could you just say something…like even, 'I hate you'…or 'you're an idiot'…I'll take that…anything." Jane said looking at Maura. Maura finally lifted her head and locked eyes with Jane. Her face was emotionless. "I'm sorry Maura," Jane said feeling her heart beat increase. "I'm so very sorry."

Maura just looked at Jane and slow…a smile formed on her lips. Jane began to really panic. "Oh God, you're smiling! This is like my last meal isn't it?" Jane said nervously. Maura just started laughing. Jane, who at that point was certain Maura, had snapped, just looked at her more confused than ever.

"We…I…you…" Maura said laughing even harder, wiping a tear.

"Are you crying?" Jane asked biting her bottom lip.

"Oh god yes, but from laughter," Maura said standing from the bench of their cell. "Jane- you have to see the humor in this," she said looking around their holding cell. "If you don't…you…well then you'd panic like you are."

"I feel so bad," Jane said hanging her head.

"Hey," Maura said walking to Jane tilting her head up. "Don't feel bad. I wasn't upset. I was just thinking of how I'm going to do this."

"Do what?" Jane asked.

"Well right now," Maura said beginning to giggle again, "my mother is getting a phone call from some police officer about her daughter. First panic will set in. I can hear her now, asking if I'm all right and worrying about me. Then the officer will tell her I wasn't hurt but rather arrested…and then she'll ask why…god forbid her perfect daughter be arrested…not her Maura," Maura said dramatically. Jane smiled as Maura continued. "And then theywill tell her why her precious daughter was arrested…"

"Oh god, your mother is going to kill me!" Jane said jumping up and now truly panicking. "You've got to get me out of here!" Jane shouted to the guard standing by the door. This action caused Maura to laugh even more. "Come on! Professional courtesy! I told you I'm with Boston Homicide!" There was no answer.

"Jane!" Maura said seeing fear on her girlfriends face. "Relax…trust me, my mothers done much worse in a car I'm sure of it," Maura said. She considered it for a moment.

"Maura…your mother is not going to be mad at you! She is going to blame me!" Jane said. "I just blew any chance I had of getting her respect and attention." Jane began crying. Suddenly, it wasn't so funny to Maura who put her arm around Jane's shoulder and sat her down.

"What are you talking about?" Maura asked soothing Jane.

"Your mother. I just…I want her to like me. I want her to know I'm good for you. Jesus, we haven't even made it to Boston and I managed to get us thrown in jail," Jane said rising her arms and motioning to the cell.

"First of all," Maura smiled, "I was willing participant in that act." Maura assured her friend. "You and me…I think we as a couple…is not going to come as a shocker to her."

"What do you mean?" Jane asked wiping a tear.

"Well- Mother has known how I felt about you. I sort of let her in on it awhile back."

"She knew?"

"Yeah, I mean…you returning those feeling will come as news to her…but not a complete shock."

"Oh."

"It's going to be…"

"Jane Clementine Rizzoli!" Called out a voice. A voice both women knew. A voice, that sent fear through them.

"Please tell me that's the Devil," Jane said looking down to the floor.

"No. It's your mother."

"What on…I can't even…How! Why! What were you thinking!" Angela shouted as she came to the bars of the cell.

"Ma, look…I can explain."

"You weren't thinking that's what you can explain," Angela said almost as though she couldn't hear Jane's plea for understanding. "Indecent exposure in a parked car, on the side of the road! I thought I raised you to have more common sense," Angela said feeling her blood pressure shoot through the roof. "You're two are grown women! Couldn't you have at least…waited! Honestly girls," Angela said now calming down slightly.

"It was my fault," Maura said again. Angela held her hand up to them both.

"Maura, I appreciate you taking the blame for this, but my daughter is just as much at fault. From what the office said…she was just as 'indecent' as you were. While it's noble for you to try and take the fall, my daughter will not be getting off that easy? Jane…an officer of the law behaving in such a way. Shame."

Jane finally let a smile come to her face. "Well that'll be a story for the grandkids one day," she laughed.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

-o-o-o-o-o-o

It had been two since their trip home. Unpacked and back to their daily lives, both women knew it would be sometime before they would see each other. Maura immersed herself in the catching up on current and past cases as Jane, throwing herself back into her files as well.

The phone ringing on Maura's desk broke her attention. "Hello?"

"Feel like parking?"

Maura started laughing, "Well this is a surprise, I didn't think I'd hear from you till much later tonight."

"Hun, it's 7:45 in the evening." Jane said making sure she had all her things.

"Really? God this day flew by."

"I can imagine. I'm sorry I didn't make it down there today. I didn't actually leave my desk," Jabe laughed shutting off her light.

"No wonder I'm so tired." Maura said taking the first moment to recline back and close her eyes. "I missed you today."

"I miss you too," said Jane. "You must be hungry."

"God I am. I skipped lunch too."

"How about I meet you at your place in…say 30 minutes?"

"Sounds good," Maura smiled.

Jane smiled and hung up her phone.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

-o-o-o-o-o-o

She opened the door to Maura home. "Yo Doc, It's a good thing you're hungry," Jane said closing the door behind her. "I bring burgers from the dirty robber…and French fries."

"Delicious though not naturist!" Maura said getting up and hugging her girlfriend.

Jane responded kissing Maura softly.

"I planned to make dinner," Maura said softly. "This is much better. You know what they say about the best laid plans."

"What?"

"I don't know…it's just a saying…"

"Oh." Jane laughed. "Honestly, I just heard 'laid' and you lost me after that." Maura started giggling. She leaned in and kissed Jane lips.

"You know, I thank whatever or whoever was looking over me that day I came into your life."

Maura stood. "Where are you going?" Jane asked following Maura as she approached her door.

"I love being home," Maura said smiling at Jane.

"Why's that?" Jane asked her with a questioning look.

"Homes have locks," Maura smiled and winked closing and locking her door. "And couches."

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

-o-o-o-o-o-o

Maura positioned herself over Jane, who lay on her back on the couch. "Why Maura Isles, if I didn't know better…I might be inclined to say you were trying to seduce me?" Jane said shocked.

"What can I say?" Maura tilted her head and captured Jane's lips in a heated kiss, "A woman's got needs." To that Jane burst out laughing, as she began to unbutton Maura's top. Maura reached up and shut the light off.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

-o-o-o-o-o-o

Jane pulled her pants up as Maura fixed her top. "Well…what would Lobsters have gotten me?" Jane asked winking.

"Jane Rizzoli," Maura said playfully as she pulled Jane into a hug. "Thank you for dinner," she said kissing her one last time.

"Believe me when I say this…It was most certainly," Jane paused and looked down at the couch, "my pleasure."

"Mine too."

Both women laughed.

"I've kind of gotten used to sleeping with you, and to be honest…I miss it."

To Maura, it was the sweetest thing Jane could have said. "I miss it too."

"So…can I stay with you tonight," Jane asked resting her forehead against Maura's own.

"I'd be honored."

The women made their way to Maura's bedroom as Maura began to hang her clothes, pull out something to sleep in, as well as get something for Jane.

"You know what?" Jane said looking around Maura's room. "You've got a lot of clothes."

"I know…what can I say, I'm a slave to fashion," Maura laughed.

"No silly, that's not what I meant," Jane smiled. "I meant…bring some clothes to my place…and I'll bring some clothes here…that way- well if the mood hits us right, we won't have to stay apart at nights."

Maura considered it for a moment, looking at Jane closely. Her silence made Jane nervous. "I mean, it's a silly idea, forget I said anything…"

"No…actually, I was thinking what a great idea that was," Maura smiled. "I'll throw together a bag to bring over."

"Okay, good."

Jane plopped down on the bed, snuggling up next to Maura as she climbed in next to her. "I get this sneaky suspicion that you don't realize how amazing you are…and quite honestly, that makes me what to love you even more," Jane whispered as Maura smiled and let Jane embrace her.

Jane leaned forward and kissed Maura softly on the lips. "I love you."

"Ditto." Maura whispered.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Two Years Later…

Jane stood and watched in awe as the brilliant flashes of light exploded in front of her. "Oh my god!" she shouted with excitement. "This is awesome!"

Maura smiled reaching over and taking her hand. "Sorry we couldn't here sooner."

"No worries," Jane smiled.

"This isn't even the half of it," Maura laughed watching Jane seeing the fireworks explode from their spot in the crowd at Epcot center in Disney.

"No kidding?"

"I'm serious."

Again, the lights and flashes zoomed all around. "It's amazing isn't it?!" Jane laughed as the music boomed in the backdrop.

"Yeah I knew…whoa."

"Whoa?" Jane said turning her head to Maura. "Whoa what?" she asked concerned.

"Whoa…"Maura took Jane's hand in her own, "a kick. And a strong kick at that." Maura placed it on her belly. The firework show no longer anything important, Jane placed her hand on Maura's stomach. She felt it.

"Oh my God Maur!" Jane said smiling. "It's kicking!"

"Yeah," Maura smiled seeing the excitement in Jane's eyes, "somehow I knew eating in Mexico might get this reaction."

"It kicked," Jane repeated moving closer to Maura's stomach. She kneeled down in the middle of the street and started talking to Maura's belly, "you like fireworks too huh?" Jane said patting away.

Maura looked left and right. People were beginning to look at Jane with odd expressions, "Ahh- hun, honey…babe…can you kind of get up…please, people are starting to stare….Jane."

"…That's right, fireworks are a big hit with us…and I guess you liked the nachos too. That's one of my favorites. Maybe next time mommy will listen when I say lay off the hot sauce huh?..." Jane continued, ignoring Maura plea.

"Hun…up, come on…"Maura spoke through closed teeth, waving and smiling to the people who walked by, exchanging glances.

Jane finally stood up. "Our baby is talking," Jane smiled.

"Yeah," Maura smiled back. She knew Jane didn't mean it literally. That was one of the good things about their relationships. Maura had learned not to be so literal.

"I love you," Jane said touching Maura's belly, "And I love you."

"We love you too."
