I decided to do a short little epilogue for this, just because I had a cute idea and thought you might like it.

"Ugh, I can't believe you talked me into this," Jane complained as she fiddled with the microphone cord attached to her blazer. "I can't believe you agreed at all! Do you remember what she did two years ago?"

"I remember," Maura sighed with a small smile and pressed a soft kiss to Jane's lips. "I also remember that if it weren't for her, we might never have gotten here. Besides, Mother bought out the company she works for so she won't pull that stunt again."

"She'd better not," Jane grumbled and Maura sat next to her on their couch.

"Are you ready?" Kitty Vansen and her cameraman had set up their equipment and Kitty sat in the chair next to the couch. Maura nodded and Jane grumbled. "Perfect, we're live in five, four, three…" Kitty let the rest of the seconds tick by in silence before she turned to the camera and informed the live audience of what was happening. "Good evening, Boston. I'm here once again with Doctor Maura Isles and Detective Jane Rizzoli has agreed to join as well. Tonight, we finally get answers to the months, no, years-long questions we have all been asking. So without further adieu… Detective, care to tell us when your relationship with Doctor Isles officially started?"

Maura fought the smirk that threatened as she watched Jane's eyelids flitter as she struggled not to roll her eyes on live television. Maura was surprised Jane had agreed, but more surprised when Jane answered the question professionally. "About four months after your last interview with Maura."

"And you'd never been together in a romantic capacity before then?" Kitty pressed.

"No, there were no secret relationships or whatever. Only an idiot would try to hide a relationship with someone as great as Doctor Isles," Jane snarked and Maura grinned at her.

"Right. And has your relationship affected your job performance negatively in any way?" Kitty turned to ask Maura.

"No. Records indicate that Jane is still statistically the best homicide detective in Boston and our case closing rate has increased from the time we started working together nine years ago until now. We're like wine, we only get better with age," Maura chuckled at Jane's discreet snort.

"You really gotta compare our job to wine on national television?" Jane muttered and Maura smiled at her and added a discreet wink for good measure.

"There have been a few rumors floating around about the two of you recently, care to put them to rest?" Kitty offered and Jane snapped back to look at the camera with a nod. "I see by the rings that it's true the two of you have become engaged?"

"That's true!" Maura gushed and Jane smiled through the pink on her cheeks.

"Who asked whom?" Kitty pressed.

"I asked her first, technically, but she was also planning to propose the same night, so it worked out quite well," Maura smiled through her entire response.

"Care to elaborate on how you popped the question?" Maura opened her mouth but Jane held up a firm hand to stop the answer.

"I prefer to leave that to the imagination of the masses, actually," Jane sassed and Maura tried valiantly not to find her blush adorable.

"Where are you planning to get married?" Kitty pressed.

"We'll compromise on something, I'm sure," Maura mused and Jane grinned at her.

"One final question. Is it true that you are looking to start a family?" Kitty looked between Maura and Jane, and Maura turned to look into the depths of Jane's eyes. A silent understanding passed through them as they looked at Kitty and, in unison, spoke two simple words.

"No comment."

a/n: A few of you nice people have asked me if this is my last story or if I'm available for prompts and stuff during this whole pandemic. I want you all to know, that though it is little comfort, I am here.

Canada has closed our boarders but we can still reach across country lines, across oceans, across the world and reach out to each other in these hard times. It's scary and unnerving, but if I can offer some small comfort in my writing, I won't hesitate to do so. Ask away, send me PM's, it doesn't even have to be related to FF. I am here.

As for this being my last story... well, let's just say I'm not quite done with these two just yet. :)
