Here's the last chapter peeps! Enjoy!=)

"My baby girl, graduating! I can't believe it! Time has flown so fast!" Angela cried as she looked at a fully dressed Jane.

"I hate wearing heels!" she cried out as she stepped into the uncomfortable shoes. "I wish I could just dress comfortably!"

"Now, now Jane don't start! You look beautiful!" Angela gushed at her daughter. "Please let me enjoy this moment! I know you're starting college in the fall sweetheart but college graduation seems so much farther away! Boston Cambridge… I'm proud of you Jane," Angela stated as she hugged her daughter. "You've worked so hard for this, especially the last year. I know I have a certain blonde to thank for that," Angela said with a smile.

Jane's smile mirrored her mother's. "Maura helped give me the push I needed ma. Now it's a wonderful month in France with her before we come back to get ready for school," she said.

"You better make the most of it young lady. I've come to love Maura as a daughter. I know you two are still very young, but I see the love you two share… that love isn't easy to come by Jane. She's a keeper!" Angela said to her eldest.

Jane nodded her agreement. "I know ma… Maura's special… she's the one." She reached up to hug her mother fiercely. "You've no idea just how much this means to me… that you've accepted me without question from day one… that you accepted Maura… it makes all the difference in the world ma. Thank you. I love you," Jane said as she kissed her mother on the cheek.

"There's nothing I wouldn't do for you sweetheart. Now come on, it's time to get going! We have a graduation to get to!"

The school auditorium was completely filled to the brim with bustling people. Parents took photographs with their children or of their children with their friends to celebrate the joyous occasion. Angela took the time to get a family photo before Jane went off with her friends to get ready for their entrance.

"Mrs. Rizzoli, it's so good to see you! May I sit with you?"

Angela turned to the voice calling her name and her mouth dropped. "Maura! What are you doing here sweetheart? I thought you were back home! Of course you can sit with us!"

"Thank you," Maura replied with a smile. "I finished school last week, I just made Jane believe I was finishing this week. There was no way I would miss her graduation!" Maura cried.

"She's going to be so thrilled to see you!" Angela said. "You should've seen her all this week… a nervous wreck about what to pack and what to get ready for her trip to Europe with you. After all the hard work you have both done this year you deserve a break and some fun!" Angela commented. "Listen Maura, I know my daughter. I know she is incredibly smart, but I also know she is incredibly lazy and a procrastinator when she wants to be. Her getting into BCU with a full scholarship, getting ready for a 4 year degree… she did that because of you. You gave her the push, the energy and willpower to finish high school at the top of her class. Had it not been for that goal in mind, I don't even know if my Janie would've applied for college. I have you to thank for that sweetheart."

"The work she did was all on her own Mrs. Rizzoli," Maura replied. "She motivated me too, and I'm so happy that we're going to be able to be in the same city again. I know that Jane is very intelligent and that she's going to do great with school," Maura assured the older woman. "We helped each other. I have her to thank for finishing school early and getting the scholarship I did to attend BCU. It truly is a great school, and I'm sure we're both excited for the new semester to begin," Maura said with a smile.

"Well first comes that wonderful vacation. Promise me that you two will be careful. I know your parents are in Paris, but Janie mentioned you may be doing some traveling. Just be safe Maura. Have fun, but be safe," Angela asked of the blonde.

"We will be very careful. I would never do anything to endanger Jane," Maura replied. "and I'm sure she feels the same way."

"I'm sure she does," Angela agreed.

Just then the announcer asked for everyone's attention and asked that everyone be seated. "Pomp and Circumstance" began a few seconds later.

Row after row of students clad in their graduation caps and gowns walked towards the front of the auditorium to take their assigned seats. Maura saw Jane walk by and her heart swelled with pride for her girlfriend.

It was a long graduation ceremony, filled with speeches and singing by the school choir. Once the diplomas were beginning to be handed out they knew that the wait, though long since 'Rizzoli' was towards the end, was nearly over. About an hour later, Jane finally made it up on stage behind a few other students. Maura could see her scanning the crowd for her family. Their eyes finally made contact and Jane's mouth opened in a huge 'O' of surprise. Her smile lit up the room as she realized Maura was in the audience. Not been allowed to wave or do anything of the sort, Jane gave a quick nod to acknowledge her girlfriend's presence.

"National Honor Society scholarship. Spanish National Honor Society scholarship. President's scholarship, Boston Cambridge University. Graduating summa cum laude, Jane Clementine Rizzoli," the announcer said.

Jane walked the few steps to the high school principal to accept her diploma. She dutifully shook his hand as she took the proffered document. She continued on, shaking hands with every faculty member on stage before making her exit and going to her seat once more. The graduation ceremony ended half an hour later. Hundreds of students jumped from their seats and threw their caps into the air in celebration.

Once they were free to go, Jane quickly searched for Maura and her family once more. This time, it didn't take long for her to spot her favorite pair of hazel eyes.

"Maura! What are you doing here?! I thought you were still in school!" Jane cried as Maura ran into her arms.

"I thought I'd come surprise you, bébé. Congratulations! I'm so very proud and happy for you!" Maura stated as she gave Jane a quick kiss on the lips before Angela could 'protest'.

"It has been quite the surprise!" Jane agreed. "I thought I was meeting you in Paris next week!"

"I thought I'd come see you graduate and then we could leave together," Maura commented.

"That sounds like a perfect idea! I'm so happy you're here, amore!" Jane said wrapping her arms around her girlfriend once more.

Angela, Frankie and Tommy all came up to Jane to hug and congratulate her on her achievement. More family photos were taken, this time with Maura in the picture as well. The crowd started dying down as people began to leave the auditorium.

"We're going out for dinner to Jane's favorite restaurant Maura. How did you get here?" Angela asked.

"I took a taxi," Maura replied.

"Good, you can ride with us then," Angela stated.

"Ma, can you give us a minute?" Jane asked her mother.

"Sure Jane, take all the time you need," Angela nodded her assent. "We'll meet you back at the car. Let's go boys," she called to her sons.

Once her family had gone, Jane turned to Maura and held her by the shoulders. She leaned in to kiss her girlfriend properly. She smiled as the kissed ended and opened her eyes once more. "I just wanted to make sure this was all real," she said. "It feels like a dream."

Maura brought her body into Jane's and molded into it perfectly. She rested her head against Jane's shoulder. "It's real bébe," she said softly.

"Where do we go from here?" Jane asked with a smile, already knowing the answer.

"First Paris… then the rest of our lives. How does that sound?" Maura asked with a smile lighting up her face.

"That sounds absolutely perfect, amore," Jane replied as she hugged the blonde close. "Just perfect."
