"Unless you want to join the three other bodies in the freezer, get the hell out of my morgue," Maura snapped, upon seeing Jane enter.

"Maura, what's going on?" Jane asked confused. To say Jane was worried was an understatement. She was used to not fully understanding the woman before her. Using her intuitive skills to read between the lines seemed to be a necessity in their relationship. Emotions were the one thing Dr. Isles wasn't literal about.

"I'm not doing this at work Jane," Maura fired back, the word work holding more contempt that Jane had ever heard from Maura.

Jane hadn't planned on telling her about the house yet, but it was beginning to look like this was her only option. "Maura, sweetie, let me explain…" Jane said, stumbling over her words. The moment she'd spoken Maura's eyes locked onto hers. Jane saw nothing but pain, doubt, fear, and anger...a lot of anger.

"Explain? You honestly think you can talk your way out of cheating on me? On top of that, using our friends, well no, obviously your friends, to cover for you? "Tears were forming and she turned her back, trying to keep it all together.

Jane tried to reach for Maura's shoulders to turn her away, but the M.E. snatched herself away. "Maura," she sighed, "I was doing it for us. Ever since we fought, things just haven't been the same." She could tell Maura was hurt, but she didn't understand why. Wanting to fix up the perfect house for them was hardly a crime.

She knew her partner didn't like to be left out of anything. Years of teasing and worrying about what people were saying about her had left her more than a little vulnerable. "I know I should have told you, but I just wanted to fix things up first. It was for us love," Jane promised softly.

Maura snapped around shaking her head. "I can't believe you. How can you justify what you've done. Not only that, how is cheating on me anything remotely to do with fixing us. I may be naïve about relationships Jane, but you don't cheat on your partner to fix things with them."

Jane stood there with her mouth slightly agape. Now she was more than a little confused. How could Maura possibly think she was cheating on her? Granted, there were plenty of people who would through the accusation out there on less, but Maura judged by facts.

Fact 1, Jane was gone all the time. Fact 2, everyone was lying for Jane. Maura would never jump from those to cheating, she couldn't. If guessing made her break out in hives, that kind of assumption could be lethal.

"Maura, I'm not cheating on you," she said, trying not to laugh at the insanity. She moved closer once more, not realizing that with every step she was backing the doctor into a corner.

"Oh really? Because honestly, I've never gotten off my schedule since I was eleven Jane. Almost twenty years Jane, yet suddenly, you and I are on different schedules. You know that girls who spend more than a little time together sync up. Obviously, whoever you're spending all these nights with is female."

"I'm not cheat-," Jane tried to say. The look of sadness overwhelming her best friends face was tearing at her heart. How could she think that. Normally she would be pissed. Jane Rizzoli didn't do well with any sort of accusations about herself, especially one that implied dishonesty or shallow feelings. She loved Maura.

"Jane, please leave," Maura said, wiping at the heavy flow of tears that was falling. "I asked you not to do this at work."

"Fine," Jane said, letting out the breath she'd been holding. "But we're not done talking about this. Maura I'm not cheating on you. I…. I love you." Not waiting for the response that wouldn't come, Jane left.
