Jane looked down at her phone when she hung up with the clearly distraught Corrine Little. Korsak sat next to her as she wrote down the information she collected from the woman and then he nodded and waited for Jane to speak. Even though he was Sargent and their superior officer, this was Jane's team, always has been. Korsak, Frost and Jane were the tightest unit in homicide, but Korsak knew that if it was not for Jane's Sherlock Holmes style to draw conclusions from nowhere, and Frost's computer geekery, Korsak and team would not have been as successful on their own.

"She will be in to chat in an hour," Jane said to the space still clutching her phone. Gripping, and then ungrasping. "I need to get Maura to do the facial reading thing she does, and make sure there is an interview room available," Jane said as she began to move. Korsak reached out his beefy hand and placed it on her elbow stopping her and thus snapping her from her haze.

"What's wrong?" he asked as he devoted every ounce of his attention to his protégé.

"Something doesn't fit Vince," Jane scrubbed her face with her hands, "Why in the hell would she want to come and talk? What could be so important? It doesn't feel right. Call it my gut," Jane said and then smiled as Maura constantly told her that her intestines don't talk.

"Jane, sometimes people feel guilty if they are guilty. Maybe she knows something, or hell maybe she heard or saw something," Korsak stood up and got his coffee mug, "Who knows maybe she had nothing to do with anything," Korsak shrugged and walked to the District One Café for a refill.

Jane raked her hands over face once more and growled. She hated the feeling of uncertainty. This wasn't like most cases. The woman had thrown her for a loop for a few days now all because Jane could not get a good handle on her. Her reaction, the placement, and then seeing her in the show. It was all too much for Jane's detective mind to ponder. She knew, without a doubt that Corrine Little had something to do with everything.

She took a deep breath and looked at her watch. She winced at trying to get Maura within an hour of the interview, but it was what had to be done. She then smiled because she was about to go and get Maura. Ever since their morning interlude, and then their shower, she felt her fingertips simply twitch and itch to feel Maura's skin once more. She didn't even realize she hit the elevator, she didn't register she was even in the box doing down until she heard the ping, and the doors slid open. Jane walked to the doors and looked at her lover. Her Lover. She was simply in awe. Jane slowly shoved the glass door opened and softly approached Maura.

"I can hear you," Maura said with a smile on her face as she turned to Jane, "And even if I didn't I have been listening all day for your footsteps, and for those doors to open hoping it would be you," Maura said looking up at Jane. They stood apart, a large distance from the other, but the looks they shared, the smiles remembering what they had done, it felt so much more intimate than the few yards between them. Then Jane's eyes dropped away but a shy smile stayed on her lips. Maura shifted slightly. She crossed her arms and leaned against the autopsy table.

"What is going on in that beautiful head of yours, Detective?" Maura inquired lowly, making sure she wasn't heard, but knew her people were elsewhere. Jane ran her hands through her hair and looked up at Maura, and in that look Maura saw doubt, but she waited.

"I am," Jane paused and looked around making sure no one could hear her, see her when she was weak, "I am just…. Overwhelmed," Jane started and then saw Maura shift slightly and then Jane crossed the distance and stood next to her both leaning against the autopsy table and facing the Morgue entry way.

"I meant, that I am overwhelmed by us, finally, after so long," Jane said trying to say what she really wanted to but stammered.

"So overwhelmed is a positive in this instance?" Maura asked still wading through the uncertainty she sometimes felt around Jane. Then Jane lowered her hand and clasped her fingers around Maura's. They felt the warmth of their skin, the soothing sensations of their touch, and then Jane entwined their fingers.

"Oh Yes, positive overwhelmafication," Jane said smiling knowing it wasn't a word but looked to Maura to see what she would say. Maura only looked up, deep brown caught Hazel, and Maura's eyes grew.

"Overwhelmafication is not a word Jane," Maura finally stated, and Jane chuckled and then laughed. She didn't care. She pulled the woman her heart belonged to into her arms and sought out her lips. Maura's smile slipped over her lips as Jane's mouth found hers. They broke away.

"You make me happy," Maura whispered as she stood next to Jane, both taking the stances they had before their mouths thought to search out their partners. Maura turned from those glass doors, hoping, wanting everything and nothing at the same time. She tilted her head at such a quandary.

"Jane," Maura asked as Jane looked to the doors staring into the same space, "How can a person want everything and nothing at the same time?" Maura asked as she stepped from Jane and walked to her office knowing that Jane would follow her. Jane sat on the couch, then made a face and then sat, or lounged in the red chair of horrors.

"Is this a hypothetical or a real question? "Jane asked in return rubbing her hands together, and then massaging her scars.

"I find I am going through that exact sensation," Maura said as she fired up her lap top hoping that work or just turning on the machine would help her calm her nerves. She never saw out of her peripheral vision Jane move, she never felt her walk toward her and then slip into a kneeling position next to her.

"Maura," Jane tried to get Maura's attention, but the doctor kept fretting with the keyboard then Jane reached out for her chin, brought her face to meet hers, "I have no idea how one can feel two complexly different sensations at one time, but I feel them with you two. When I am with you I want to be held, cocooned in your arms, and then in the same second, I want to protect, take a bullet for you. I want to give you everything I have and tell you everything I want to be, but in the same moment I pause, I freeze, because I am afraid to tell you these things. My entire life is a what if. In your world we call these theories, Dear," Jane said smiling at the endearment and then pulled Maura's hands her lips and then kissed them.

"But what I do know with out a doubt, without a second emotion or thought is I feel for you," Jane then looked Maura in the eyes, full on straight bore into her eyes, "I feel magnificent and small, I feel powerful and fragile. But over all those slightly polar opposites is that I feel precious, like a treasure," Jane then whispered her voice rasped with a small croak, "I feel loved beyond standard or measure," Jane finished her speech and then stood. But Maura caught her and pulled her down to her lips crashing together and then softly they slipped their mouths other the others, seeking, tasting, and delving into promises of what could come.

"Ahem," came from the door way and Jane smiled as Maura straightened her hair, and her blouse when she heard who was at the door.

"Detective Korsak, come in," Maura offered as Jane stood as did Maura and offered him a chair.

"No thanks Doc. I was wondering if Jane came to collect you," Korsak said as he sipped on his coffee looking over the rim of his cup.

"Collect me?" Maura asked confused.

"Yeah, the lady I told you about and asked you to sit in on the interview," Jane informed, and Maura nodded, "she will be here in an hour," Jane heard Korsak clear his throat and then looked at her watch, "Ok 30 minutes. Will you be ready by then? You don't have to on such…" Jane was cut off by Maura placing a finger on her lips. Then Maura's eyes softened as she slid the pad of her finger over Jane's lips, memorizing, feeling, and loving the feel of that tissue beneath her fingertips.

"I'll be there in 20 minutes, Detective," Maura said with a smile and Jane nodded and stood with a grin and turned to find Korsak looking intently at one of Maura's African masks.

"Come on old man," Jane said as she took his arm and dragged him away with him Laughing.

Maura sat there as Jane's words ran through her thoughts. Her feelings, her concerns, her contradictory statements as she laid her soul bare to Maura as Jane kneeled by her in her office in the morgue.

"Oh, Jane," was all that Maura could whisper into her space alone as she pressed her hand to her chest feeling her heart race. Dear all medical and science Gods, she loved that woman.

OOOoooOOOooo

Korsak stood in the interview auxiliary room looking in at the woman and Jane with Maura beside him. They agreed that Jane would wear the receiver in her ear on one stipulation… Maura could not babble scientific facts in her ear as she interviewed the woman. Maura agreed she could only tell Jane if she thought she was telling the truth or not. Maura was their human lie detector in this moment.

Maura listened to the conversation and smiled as she watched Jane do what she did best. Corrine Little was a waif of a woman, her body language screamed fear and nervous, but her facial features made Maura pause.

"I'm glad you came in Miss Little," Jane said to the woman as she reached for the woman's hand to shake it in greeting. When Jane grasped her hand, Maura saw the twitch in Jane's eyes. Maura sat forward and saw Jane place her hand under the table and clench her hand open and closed. Then open and close her fingers as if they were… Sticky.

"Detective Korsak, could you make sure we have an evidence bag, a swab kit, and some antibacterial soap on standby," Maura said but forgot that Jane could hear every word she said. Jane simply sat rigid and listened as Korsak made a call to the Lab downstairs. Maura took a deep breath and apologized. Jane gave a thumbs up under the table.

"I am here because I am afraid," Corrine little said almost lunging across the table.

"Truth," Maura said into the receiver.

"Can you tell me what happened?" Jane said softly and then reached across the table, "You can talk to me," Jane comforted the woman. Maura watched the woman's facial features.

"He made me do so many horrible things," Corrine said as she threw her face into her hands, "I don't want this anymore," she said crying into her palms.

"You can talk to me, tell me what he made you do," Jane reassured the woman. Maura saw Jane reach forward and then Jane's hand stopped half way. There was a shift in the air. The hair on Maura's arms stood up as a blood chilling laugh emanated from behind Corrine's hands.

"Jane be careful, I think…" Maura was cut off as Corrine pulled her hands from her face revealing a smile that spilt her face. Eyes gleamed with dark intent.

"Corrine doesn't understand what she is doing," the woman in front of Jane spoke with a lower timber to her voice.

"Jane, she has a personality split. Be careful," Maura said as she reached for Korsak to her right and then man placed a hand on hers when Maura found his arm. They both watched Jane pull her hand back and then something in Jane shift.

"She has her," Korsak said as he stared into the room and then Maura squeezed his arm, "She is now in her wheelhouse. Perps have always been easier for Jane to crack," Korsak said with pride. Maura only nodded as Jane visibly coiled like a snake ready to strike if she needed, but lounged back like a panther, waiting dangerously for her prey to screw up.

"And if Corrine doesn't understand what she is doing, I assume you do understand. Who am I speaking to?" Jane asked as she placed her hand on the table indicating to the woman.

"Corrine wanted to be the best dancer on the eastern seaboard, but she was too nice," the woman spat in Corrine's low voice.

"And who says that?" Jane asked once more leaning back in her chair.

"I do," the woman growled as she sprang to her feet and slammed her hands on the metal table.

"And who are you to be the judge of that?" Jane asked eyes darting to where woman's fingers splayed on the table. Then another wicked laugh rolled out of the woman's throat.

Korsak's phone went off. Maura watched fascinated. Split personality. She has at least two alters, one dominant, one submissive. Which one is the original? Korsak showed Maura the phone and nodded.

"Jane ask her about Chase," Maura said. Frost got Korsak info from one of the dancers about how Corrine had pulled into herself, broke many ties with friends at the ballet, and shut herself out to the world. It all happened after her brother died about a year ago.

"Detective, could you ask Detective Frost to pull all cases in the past year in the Massachusetts that had any questionable deaths due to Oleander poisoning?" Korsak nodded as he began to text back to Frost.

"So… I am willing to bet that Chase would be disappointed to know you are killing people," Jane said and instantly Maura knew it was the wrong move. The blonde was over the table quicker than lightning and pinned Jane to the ground knocking over the chair onto her back. Jane yelled out as her head hit the floor, and her hands flew to the hands at her throat.

"I am Chase, you ignorant fool," Corrine growled close to Jane's ear. Jane's eyes flew open.

Maura heard every word, and her mouth dropped open as Jane's eyes narrowed on the face above hers. It happened all to fast, it was almost instantaneous. Korsak was in the interview room, pulled the woman off Jane, cuffed her hands behind her back. Jane stood but her hand went to the table to steady her. Maura saw her blink and shake her head. Concussion, damnit.

"Before I book you, tell me, why did you kill all those people?" Jane asked before she let Korsak leave the interview room, where they were still being filmed.

"If you spent more years than you can remember, breaking toes, deforming your feet, and giving everything you had just to be the best, wouldn't want your dream to come true?" Corrine spat back in question.

"So, you killed all these people, so you can be number one?" That's fucked lady," Jane gritted as her vision swam.

"No, you imbecile," the woman cackled at Jane like she was a little girl, "I did it, so WE could be number one. Screw the beauty who was about to marry the circus act. Fuck the man who fucked my sister, used her, and kept her in that corral line. And screw the woman who should not have been in the balcony and saw too much. I did it for us. It is something you will never understand, to kill for the future you deserve," Corrine yelled at Jane. Then it was sudden, her body went limp, her eyes glassed over, and a whimper escaped her lips. Jane watched the transformation.

"What happened? What am I doing in handcuffs?" Corrine asked fear written on her face and coated her voice.

"Oh my God," Jane whispered as she nodded to Korsak to take her away.

Maura burst threw the door as Jane's legs finally decided to give out. Maura caught Jane against the table, and then pulled the chair over to make Jane sit. Her fingers shook as she moved behind Jane and separated strands of hair and found red.

"Jane, you need a doctor," Maura hissed as more blood seeped into Jane's hair. Jane's hand moved back to the goose egg sized knot on her scalp. Jane cursed and yanked her hand back in front of her and then saw the blood on her fingertips. She sighed and the nodded.

"Thank you for not fighting me on this," Maura sighed and helped Jane to her feet and stood under her arm as a crutch. Korsak came back and took over.

"I'm grabbing our belongings, and I will meet you at the hospital," Maura said as she watched Jane walk away swaying then leaning heavily against Korsak.

Maura turned and head to booking. She reached Corrine Little and stood in front of her, looked into her eyes. The woman flinched away under Maura's stare.

"The oleander, how did you get them to ingest it?" Maura asked, and then Corrine shook her head. Maura reached out and shook the woman's shoulders.

"Injected it into the marshmallows," Corrine whispered.

"Who was it? You or Chase?" Maura asked eyes starring daggers at Corrine. After a moment the woman shook her head.

"I don't know any more," Corrine said and then Maura nodded.

Maura turned on her heal, ran to Jane's desk, got her ID, her keys, and her wallet. She took the elevator down to the Morgue and collected her purse. When she got to her car she was in a jumbled state. She shook as she put her keys in the ignition and pulled out of her parking space. The phone rang, and she jumped in the driver's seat. She answered using her hands-free system on her care.

"Dr. Isles speaking," She answered not looking at the caller ID.

"Doctor Isles Jane isn't answering, and neither is Korsak. Do you know where they are? Its important," Frosts voice cut through the air.

"On the way to the hospital. Jane was interviewing Corrine Little and she attacked Jane and sent her to the floor hitting her head on impact," Maura said clinically.

"Ok So Corrine Little is in custody?" Frost asked sounding relieved.

"Yes, what's happened?" Maura asked so she could tell Korsak as soon as she saw him if he didn't get his cell phone first.

"Her apartment, its… Its covered in faces, many of them are dead. Its like she had been doing this for a long time. I ran the report Korsak asked…" Frost paused. That pause made Maura's heart rate skyrocket.

"Pictures of us are on her wall," Frost said.

"Explain please and be very specific. I am almost to the hospital, and once I get there I can tell Detective Korsak what you told me, and I will stay with Jane while he goes to you."

"I'm on the wall with you, and Jane. We are placed under a column, like a T-chart. Kill, and live. We are under the kill column," Frost said as calmly as he could, but Maura could hear the elevated speed of his speech, and the higher note in his voice.

"I'm there in the parking garage, as soon as I can I will send Detective Korsak to you," Maura said then hung up.

She raced into the building and then went to Emergency, or at least that's where she would have taken her. Due to Jane being a police officer she was seen immediately, and Maura sighed in relief when she saw Jane's smile and her head wrapped in a bandage.

"Detective, please call Detective Frost. It's important," Maura informed Korsak, and the man looked down to his phone. 8 missed calls. He cursed and excused himself. Maura walked over to the hospital bed and sat on the edge taking Jane's hand.

"How is it you always end up here?" Maura sked looking down at their hands.

"What can I say, I'm a walking accident waiting to happen," Jane grinned as she watched Maura's face.

"Maur, this is just a bump on the head. You know, that right?" Jane asked as she squeezed Maura's hand.

"Of course, I know that, it's just…" Maura swallowed then stood up and began to pace as she placed her hands on her hips, "It's the first injury since we have become intimate, and I never thought it would hurt more than it did," Maura confessed. Jane shifted and slowly edged to the side of the bed. She reached out and pulled Maura to her and in between her legs. Bodies touched, and Jane placed a small kiss on Maura's neck as she wrapped her lanky arms around the smaller woman.

Maura felt all her anxiety ebb away slowly as Jane held her. She kissed Jane's neck back but turned her head and simply held Jane and let herself be held.

"Jane," Maura whispered and then held the woman tighter to her, "what you said earlier, thank you," Maura whispered over Jane's shoulder.

"It was hard to say it, but I trust you Maur," Jane rasped over Maura's shoulder and Maura shook as she heard that confession and the effect that voice had on her way out of this world. Jane pulled out of Maura's arms and motioned for the woman to sit on the bed next to her.

"So split personality?" Jane asked Maura and Maura nodded, "I didn't expect that. Wow," Jane chuckled.

"What?" Maura asked as she looked over and smiled with jane at Jane's inside joke.

"I wonder what the hell threw her off the deep end," Jane mused.

"I think it was the death of her brother," Maura said, "It's a theory, but maybe its survivors' guilt."

"What do you mean?" Jane asked.

"They were in the car at the same time Corrine drove the car into the barricade of the Boston Bridge exiting the bridge. The impact was so hard that the car flipped. She survived, he did not," Maura told Jane what Frost found out as he texted Korsak.

"What happened to the car, why did they crash?"

"She was drinking as driving," Maur said softly, "She killed her brother," Maura's voice was flat, almost toneless.

"I could never imagine living through that, if I killed Frankie or Tommy…" Jane ran a hand through her hair but winced. Maura nodded next to her. A doctor came into the room.

"So when can I leave?" Jane asked impatiently.

"When I say you can Rizzoli," snarled the doctor. Maura blinked at the familiarity between the two.

"Come on Delgado. Sign the papers and I am out of your hair," Jane said with a charming smile.

"No," the man was a gorgeous Latino, thick black hair, green eyes, and a warm smile.

"What if I said I will be under Doctor supervision?" Jane bargained. Maura frowned.

"Jane, I think the Doc…" Maura was silenced with a squeeze to her hand.

"I would say I want the doctor to know how much a pain in the ass you are, and you have a concussion, and you have a regimen to follow for the next 24 hours," Delgado said still ticking boxes on his clipboard.

"I'm sure the doctor knows all of those things and will more than happy to let me go home and be supervised," Jane promised.

"Jane, just make it more than 2 months without me seeing your raggedy ass, I will call it a miracle," Delgado handed Maura the clipboard and a pen. Maura looked down at with a frown, "I am assuming you will take responsibility for this idiot, Dr. Isles," Dr. Delgado said with a wink and a smile.

Maura smiled back and signed her name, then handed it to Jane, and then back to the Doctor. He went to the door and turned around and looked at Maura and pointed to Jane.

"When this one came in here she kept calling your name," the doctor said, "Take care of her," then he walked out of the room and left Maura to look at Jane.

"So, you called my name?" Maura said as she bumped Jane's shoulder.

"Yeah, don't trust that man," Jane grinned bashfully. Maura slid off the bed and held out her hand for Jane to take so she could steady her.

"Come on," Maura said and then grinned mischievously, "I have to supervise you for at least 24 hours," Maura let her tone drop and Jane looked at the woman with wide, blown dark brown eyes.

"I think it might be a challenge to do that Doctor," Jane countered but the lump in her throat stayed.

"I think I am up for it," Maura grinned cheekily at her. Jane shook her head.

"How did I get so lucky?" Jane murmured.

"I'm not lucky Jane," Maura then turned to looked Jane square in the eyes, "I'm just thankful some dreams come true," Maura leaned forward as Jane mimicked her motion and lips found home once again. Jane broke the kiss as the elevator pinged they where on the right floor.

"You were in my dreams too Maur," Jane smiled as Maura grinned brightly and helped Jane get in the car.

"Good," Maura turned the keys in the ignition, "How do you fell about going home, and making some of those dreams a reality?"

Jane didn't have to answer. She didn't have to move as Maura's only answer to that question made her heart leap, and her fingers twitch. It was a soft slow kiss to the top of Maura's hand, and then Maura's palm pressed to Jane's cheek. Jane nodded slightly. Maura nodded back. Here is to new beginnings, and dreams.

OOOoooOOOooo

Korsak and Frost closed the case. Jane asked Corrine when she was Corrine why she came to the station when she did. Corrine sadly smiled and replied that even though the dead could talk, they didn't have to force her actions. Corrine Little was found on at least 3 counts of murder and 1 counts of assault. When they went to court and the split personality hurt their placement, but the insanity plea won, and the woman was positioned in a mental health facility with 50 years and no chance for parole.

Maura and Jane… they both thank the heaves, almost nightly, for bringing each other into their lives. Jane once asked Maura is they had always been on that track to being more than friends, Maura said yes. It was months later when Maura finally found out the extent of Jane's dreams, and nightmares. Hoyt was a constant factor in Jane's nightmares, but Jane finally told her that her dreams had shifted. It wasn't Jane that escaped, or she saved Maura. No, Maura saved Jane every time. As for Maura's dreams, let's just say they come true every day.
