Just a bit of something rattling around in my head. Not intending on it to be a long story. We'll see how much you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own them. Swearing, sex, violence ahead. Mentions of suicide, rape, violent deaths, and the rest of what goes with homicide cases.


First thing on Monday morning, Barry Frost watched as their latest BPD recruit made her way into the bullpen with Lieutenant Sean Cavanaugh. He and his teammate, Vince Korsak, exchanged surprised glances and looked back at the tall, curly haired woman standing slightly behind their shorter, balding lieutenant.

The brunette was wearing an expensive suit and shirt combo, but she didn't exude the stuffiness that her designer clothing may have dictated.

"Ok, listen up everyone!" The several detectives that were in the room turned around to look at their boss. "This is Detective Jane Rizzoli. She comes to us from the San Francisco Police Department with over twenty years of experience under her belt and we're lucky to be gaining her in Homicide. Please make her feel welcome and try not to be asses!" Cavanaugh shouted as he let his speech fizzle out quickly.

A few of the other detectives glanced over at her appreciatively, the rest went back to their work, unfazed.

Sean addressed Korsak and Frost next. "You two. Make sure Jane gets a desk. Frost, Jane is gonna be your new partner once you warm up to each other." He didn't wait for a response. He simply nodded at Jane and went back to his office.

Frost stood up first, smiling warmly, and held out his hand. "Barry Frost. Nice to meet you."

Jane received the African American's hand and smiled back. "Yeah, you too."

Korsak greeted her next and the pair showed Jane to a spare desk across from Frost.

They both watched as she took her grey blazer off and hung it on the back of her chair and sat down. Neither of the men missed the ring on Jane's left hand.

"Hey Frost, can we go over current cases when you're free?" Jane was eager to get into some work. She rubbed at the scars on her palms out of habit and waited for a response.

"Sure." He picked up a folder and gently tossed it across to her.

She glanced down at the folder and opened it to read over the recent case details.

"So, uh, we have a new Medical Examiner starting next week. Until then, we have Dr Pike." Korsak informed her with a groan as he slid closer on his chair, wanting to fill Jane in on their recent cases too and get some insight into her background. If they were going to work together, they had to know each other. Knowing each other was imperative to trusting each other, which was the most vital element to their job.

Frost and Korsak were already on their way to that but they had no idea about Jane. They hadn't even known they were getting a new homicide detective until two days ago and they weren't allowed to access most of her file.

"Ok." Jane answered with a raised eyebrow, not really understanding what they were trying to communicate to her.

Frost scoffed and leaned over to whisper something to her. "He's fucking useless."

Jane's eyes widened at the brutal honesty. "Seriously?"

"Hate to say it but he really is." Korsak confirmed. "He doesn't know a gunshot wound from his own asshole." All three of them laughed at the comparison.

"I really hope the new ME is better than him." Korsak groaned. "I heard it's a woman!" He stated as though this was something shocking then realised his faux pas. "Uh, no offence, Jane."

"None taken. I'm sure the department has done their research." Jane offered neutrally.

"I'm sure they have." Frost exclaimed sarcastically and rolled his eyes. "Anyway, can't be worse than Pike." He claimed and pointed at the file Jane had opened. "This one was a doozy…" Frost launched into a detailed account of their most recently closed case.


Jane's first few days went by easily. She watched Korsak and Frost, how they interacted and spoke about cases, and the rest of the Homicide detectives. She decided she didn't particularly like Darren Crowe or his partner, Steven Knight. They made crude jokes constantly and didn't seem very focussed on their jobs.

By Thursday morning, Jane felt that she had bonded well with Korsak and Frost so far and had a grasp on the last few months of cases and the couple of currently open ones that they had. Those few that still remained were at the mercy of evidence, which they had little of so far.

Around noon Korsak stood and rubbed his slightly protruding belly. "I think it's time for lunch. I'm starvin'"

Frost grinned at the older man and stood up too. "Comin' Jane?" The young man invited her and put his jacket on.

"Sure." Jane replied, appreciative of the offer. It was a sign of acceptance. She was surprised it had only taken them four days to ask. She left her blazer on the back of her chair, knowing she wouldn't need it in the warm June weather. After locking her desk drawers, she looked up and noticed the amused grins on the detectives faces. She smirked at them. "I don't want to find anything mouldy and smelly in there next week." The brunette joked and placed her key in her pocket.

"Smart move." Frost affirmed and followed Korsak out of the bullpen, Jane right behind them.


"Tell us about yourself, Rizzoli." Korsak prompted as he sipped his Coca Cola and dug into the greasy fries in front of him.

The trio sat in a booth of a well frequented police bar called The Dirty Robber. Jane decided, after taking one bite of her burger, that it was a new favourite of hers.

The brunette wiped her chin with her napkin and responded to him. "What do ya wanna know?" She asked back, waiting for detailed questions. She hated this and wanted to get it over with.

"Where'd you grow up?" Frost started with the subject that would help them all.

"I was actually born and raised in South Boston." She chuckled at their astounded looks.

"Yeah? Me too." Korsak added eagerly.

"Not me. I grew up all over. My dad was in the Navy." Frost shared as he took a sip of his drink. "When did you move, Jane?"

"As soon as I graduated from the academy. I turned twenty, got an offer at NYPD, and moved there the next week." She stated happily. Best decision I ever made. Jane thought as she twisted the band around her finger for a second before picking her burger up again.

"Ah, a rookie for the NYPD. Musta been tough?" Korsak queried as he ate his lunch.

"Yep started as a rookie in New York. It was tough but we had a great team… Did nine years there and then moved to Chicago. Chicago was rough and I only lasted a couple of years." Jane shook her head at the memories. "Anyway, I moved to San Francisco after that and been there since. My last ten and a half years were great but it was time to move back to Boston."

"Time to move back?" Korsak questioned, wanting her to elaborate.

Jane rubbed at her hands nervously. "Uh yeah. My Ma and brother live here. My other brother is moving back in a week. He's an officer too." She decided to share a little more about why her family had made the move across the country. "I uh had a rough case a few years ago and the psychopath became fixated on me. My last run in with him was four months ago." She lifted her hands to show her scars and then pointed to the neat scar on her neck and watched the boys wince. "He's dead now… I've been on leave since. Decided that a new start was in order."

That was the most condensed version of the story she could get away with for now. There would plenty of time to elaborate.

"Damn!" Frost reacted and then bit into his burger, not knowing what else to say.

"Seems like you're doin' ok now though?" Korsak questioned, concerned about his new workmate.

"Yeah, yeah! Of course. I passed my psych evaluation and got rectified before I started here. I'm good to go, boys!" Jane ate some more of her lunch and listened to the guys tell their work history. They offered it freely after Jane had been so open about hers.

"After work on Fridays we usually come here for drinks if you're interested?" Frost extended the invitation to the new detective, wanting more time to get to know her.

"Sounds good." Jane replied and they all stood to leave.


After an easy first week at BPD, Jane looked down at her watch and was surprised to see that it was 6:30pm. Most of the bullpen was empty and Jane looked across her desk when Frost stood and stretched. "I'm so ready for a beer." He pulled his jacket on again and called out to Korsak, who was absorbed in his work. "C'mon, let's go!" He said enthusiastically.

Once they were settled into the same booth as yesterday, Jane got to see more of who her new workmates were. They were pretty easy going guys but they were even more relaxed now after a few beers.

They had been pretty good about not pumping her for information, she knew how hard that was considering they were detectives. Jane had wanted to ask them more but held back too.

It seemed like her time was up and the interrogation was about to begin.

"You're married, huh?" Korsak pointed at the simple white gold band on Jane's finger. He and Barry had been dying to find out more about it all week.

The grin that crossed Jane's face, transformed her entire look.

The boys were a little shocked at how soft she appeared.

A warm smile formed as the brunette thought about who was currently on the other side of the country, finishing up the moving of their entire house. "I sure am." She admitted and took another sip of her beer, not giving any more information than that.

"Lucky fella!" Frost chimed in and laughed at Jane's raised eyebrow. "You're alright, Rizzoli!" He slapped her on the back and grinned at her. "How long you been married?"

"Uh, nineteen years."

"Holy crap!" Frost almost spat his beer. "How old are you? I mean, I know you got twenty somethin' years of experience on the force but uh… nineteen years married! Damn! Well done." He shook his head and took a long drink.

Jane laughed at his reaction. "I'm forty one, almost forty two."

Korsak whistled. "You got married young like me. I remember when I was forty one! I'd already been divorced twice and had two kids… You got kids?" The older man asked, genuinely interested in Jane's life.

"Yeah, we have two girls." The brunette felt the slight ache in her chest at the thought of her little family. She missed them immensely and couldn't wait for them to arrive in Boston. Jane cautiously nursed her third beer. She would become more loose lipped after three in such a short period of time and she needed to drive home.

"Really?! I wasn't expecting that." Frost exclaimed. "How old?"

Growing increasingly uncomfortable at their personal questions, Jane answered succinctly. "Seventeen and fifteen." She watched Frost's amazed face as he registered their ages.

"Oh man, those teenage years are rough. I feel for ya, Rizzoli." Korsak joked and then eased off on the family questions.

Jane chuckled but ducked her head to try and avoid revealing more information.

Both of the men picked up on her reluctance to answer and pulled back. She wasn't a suspect and they were off the clock. They needed to let the woman relax and enjoy her evening with them.

"I'm seein' someone." Frost provided easily. "She's damn fine! Been together for nine months now. Gotta be a record! Not sure if I could ever make nineteen fuckin' years!" Korsak laughed at Frost's rant. He had been hearing about this woman for a long time but had never met her. He was starting to think she might be made up.

"Nice." Jane commented and listened to Korsak add his own life story to the mix as she finished her beer.

Once there was a break in the conversation, Jane stood up and threw some money on the table.

"Aww, you goin' already?!" Frost asked, a little upset that Jane was leaving them after only a couple of hours of hanging out.

"Sorry guys. Thanks for the invitation. I'll see you both on Monday." Jane patted Frost on the shoulder as he and Korsak said goodnight.

Barry shook his head and gave a short laugh as they watched the tall woman leave. Korsak gave him a curious look at the random outburst.

"Sorry, I was just thinkin'… I'm not trying to judge or anything but she just doesn't strike me as the type who would be happily married for nineteen years with a couple of teenage girls!"

Korsak laughed with him. "I totally get that. I can't see it either but, hey, she seems really happy."

"Yeah, she does." Frost agreed.

Both men noted that Jane avoided talking about her family almost like avoiding some sort of infectious disease. They figured they would find out why soon enough.


Jane flopped backwards onto the hotel bed and held her cell phone to her ear, waiting for the other end to answer. The hotel room had been her residence for the last nine days since she had arrived in Boston.

"Jane." The sweet voice whispered into the phone.

"Hey baby." The detective's husky voice greeted with a huge grin on her face. "Are you at the hotel already?"

"Yes. We're all packed and ready to go. How was your first week?"

"Very slow but it's goin' well. The guys I'm workin' with are great. Nosy but they're detectives so I expected that. They're a bit worried about the new ME starting next week though!" Jane laughed at the recollection of their conversation yesterday.

"Why would they be worried?"

"They haven't had a great experience with past Medical Examiners. The current ME is an idiot." Jane stated, able to agree with their assessment after reading Dr Pike's reports and meeting the odd man. "I'm not worried though." The tall woman changed her tone to something warmer, more comforting.

"I should hope not!"

Jane laughed at the indignant tone. "Of course not. I know how thorough and talented you are at your job, Dr Isles." The detective purred. "Besides, they wouldn't have hired you as the Chief ME of the whole state if you weren't." Jane seriously commented. Her wife was the best at what she did and had been sought out by the governor himself for the position.

"Thanks sweetheart." Maura gushed at her wife's words and bit back a few tears. She missed Jane and couldn't wait to see her in less than twenty four hours. "I miss you."

"Miss you too, beautiful. How are my babies?" Jane asked about their daughters. No matter how old they got, they would always be her babies.

"They're great. They miss you though."

"God, I miss them too. I didn't think it would be so hard being only a week. Talking with you guys hasn't been enough." Jane claimed tearily.

"We haven't been apart for four months, my love. It's normal for us to feel some separation anxiety." The honey blonde doctor smiled into the phone.

"I guess so. How's Bass?"

Maura grinned at the question. Her wife pretended that she hated the creature that had been around since before they were a couple but she really did have a soft spot for the doctor's pet.

"He's hopefully being sedated right now for his big trip."

"Ha, why do they need to put him to sleep? In case he tries to run?" Jane joked, not expecting an answer but changed the topic before she got a full scientific explanation about why Bass had to be sedated to travel across the country. "What are the girls doin' right now?"

"Francesca's reading and Alexis is watching a movie before dinner arrives." Maura poked her head outside of the bedroom door to see their two girls happily relaxing on the hotel room's lounge. "Do you want to talk to them?"

"Yeah."

Jane heard Maura calling out softly to their children. "Francesca, Alexis, your Mama is on the phone!"

The detective chuckled at the squeals of excitement she heard and then laughed harder at the squabbling that ensued in the determining of who would speak to her first.

Maura intervened before it got out of hand. "Really girls?" She asked like a true Rizzoli, hands on her hips. "You can both talk." The doctor reached for the cell phone and put it on speaker mode.

"Hey Franky! Hi Lexi!" Jane greeted her daughters, her grin almost splitting her face.

Both girls greeted her back with excitement. Despite both being carried by Maura and utilising a donor, they were Rizzoli's through and through; energetic, loud, passionate.

Jane chatted to them both for a little while then softened her voice again when her wife picked the phone back up to talk.

"Did you eat dinner?"

"Um, no." Jane mumbled into the phone.

"Jane!" Maura whined at her wife.

"Baby, I'm useless without you. Thank god you get here tomorrow!" They both shared a laugh and Maura looked up at the door when a knock sounded.

"Darling, I need to go. Our dinner has just arrived. I'll see you around 2pm, your time… Call your mother! She'll feed you." The doctor walked over to open the door.

"Uh maybe… I can't wait to see you three. Let me know when you board your flight."

"Ok, honey. I love you."

"Love you too, Maura." Jane ended the call and smiled at the empty room. She would get to see her family tomorrow.


Jane parked her car and practically ran to the arrivals terminal. She shoved her hands in the pockets of her black jeans and watched the people slowly trickle out and greet their loved ones.

The detective saw the honey blonde hair of her wife and then the two darker heads as her three loves rounded the corner.

Maura was dressed casually in a light summer dress and heels. Her daughters' definition of casual was a little closer to Jane's. Both wore jeans and a t-shirt that hid their mostly developed bodies very well. Jane couldn't help but be happy that neither had the same sex-appeal that their mother exuded… At least not yet.

Both young women were naturally beautiful and had similar features to Maura but they also resembled Jane greatly. Both had darker hair but not quite as dark as Jane's. They were tall, had flatter chests like Jane had at their age, and were more athletic in appearance. Neither seemed interested in boys much at all. Something both women had found relieving, hearing about how stressful teenage relationships could be for families.

Franky had recently started to get a little more feminine in her clothing choices but that was generally reserved for special outings and not daily life.

The detective pushed off the wall she was leaning on with a massive smile fixed to her face and moved to embrace two joyful bundles of energy in her long arms.

After Jane had been squeezed tightly and her face was thoroughly covered in kisses by her daughters she spotted Maura smiling at her and felt her heart soar as she raked her eyes over her stunning wife. "Hey gorgeous." She stepped close and placed her hands on the small waist.

Maura gave her a full dimpled grin and reached her hands to either side of Jane's face, leaning in to claim the taller woman's lips.

"Mmmm." Maura almost moaned as Jane deepened their kiss and wrapped her arms around the taller woman's neck, pressing their bodies tightly together. Jane's hands automatically drifted down to the firm backside and their daughters, used to the display, stood there waiting.

Several kisses later, Franky and Lexi became impatient. Their parents seemed to forget they were in the middle of an airport.

"Seriously Ma, Mom! You can do that later." Franky complained, pushing her thick rimmed, stylish glasses up on her nose and folding her arms.

"Yeah, when we're not around!" Lexi chimed in and the two of them laughed together as if they had some kind of secret joke.

"Ok, fine!" Jane exclaimed and reluctantly let go of the smaller woman. "I see they're still running the show?" Jane smirked and took charge of the luggage trolley and the doctor hooked her arm around Jane's as they walked out of the airport.

"Francesca is certainly your daughter." Maura declared affectionately as they reached the car. Franky had hold of her younger sister's hand, bossing her around, despite there only being a couple of inches in height difference.

"Yep!" Jane claimed proudly and placed the luggage into the trunk of her brand new Audi Q5. She opened the door for Maura and then moved around to her side of the car and opened the door for Alexis. She beamed as she got a kiss on the cheek from both women as a thank you.

Maura got into the front passenger side and Francesca got in behind her, whining about needing equal treatment to her sister.

"You know to sit on your Mama's side if you want the royal treatment." The doctor reminded her daughter.

"Not true. You get it all of the time, Mom!" Franky accused lightheartedly. It was something that she admired most about her parents, the constant love and care they showed one another.

"That's because your mother is a queen!" Jane declared as she got into the driver's seat and started the car. She leaned over and kissed her wife once more before checking the rearview mirror, and pulled out into the traffic, heading to their hotel room.

Maura reached across the middle console of the car to caress Jane's thigh. "Have you called your mother yet?" She smirked at the guilty look that crossed her wife's face and slapped her leg. "Jane Clementine Rizzoli-Isles!"

"Maaaura! Not the middle name."

"Why haven't you called her?" Her wife persisted and she heard both her daughters chuckling.

"Yeah Ma! We wanna see Nonna!"

"I dunno, babe. I just didn't want her to smother me."

"She loves you, honey." Maura declared and gave her wife an affectionate smile.

"I know… We can call her tonight, deal?"

"Deal."


Once they had settled into their hotel suite, the girls made themselves scarce as their parents locked themselves in the main bedroom.

Jane showered and walked back into the room where her wife was currently undressing. Arousal shot straight up her spine and she walked purposefully up behind Maura, grasping her hips and nuzzling her face into the side of a smooth neck.

"I missed you." Jane whispered as her hands moved around to the front of the doctor's body and she ran her hands over black satin and lace. Maura's hand reflexively stretched up to grasp the back of her wife's neck and the other hand reached back to run along a jean covered thigh.

"I missed you too." The doctor breathed out and turned her body to wrap her arms around her wife's neck.

The couple made out as hands explored and clothing was stripped off.

"Ten days without touching you is ridiculous." Jane claimed as she pushed Maura gently back on the bed, laying herself on top. They both groaned at the sensation of their naked bodies pressed together.

Jane didn't waste any time and ran her long fingers against the length of Maura's already slick opening.

"Ohh god. I agree." Maura breathed against the brunette's lips and spread her legs wider to accommodate the touch.

"Sorry baby, I'm not gonna last long." Jane panted, as she slid two fingers inside of her wife and began a well-known rhythm.

"Mmm, me either." The honey blonde moaned as the detective hit a particularly sensitive spot. Maura let go of the strong shoulders and reached down to touch Jane where she needed her most.

They pushed and pulled, riding each other's fingers as they reacquainted themselves as quietly and quickly as possible before either of their teenage daughters figured out what they were up to and freaked out… again.


Hopefully none of you thought I would pair Jane with a man! That's just ludicrous.

Let me know what you think!
