Maura was in her office doing paper work. She looked up when she heard a quick knock at her door. Criminalist Chang flashed her a smile. Maura motioned for her to come in. Chang walked over. Maura was busy finishing a page so she missed the huge grin on the other woman's face. When she did look up her face was neutral.

"What can I do for you Sr. Criminalist Chang?"

"I have a sample that came in and it looks...different from anything I've ever seen. Would you mind looking at it? I have it set up on the scope in the morgue." Maura nodded. She stood up.

"Of course. Must be something exciting," she said with a bit of a skip as she headed into the morgue.

"Must be." Chang followed her. Maura sat at the microscope and adjusted it.

"Well it looks to be paper." She adjusted it a little more. "It has writing on it."

"What does it say," Chang asked as she quietly headed for the door. Jane slipped by her, they shared a smile.

"You once told me you understood the microscopic world more that the macroscopic one. I hope that my love is as clear under the microscope as it is with your own two (very beautiful) eyes. I love you so much. Would you do me the honor of spending the rest of our lives together? Marry me?" Maura pulled back "Oh, thats so sweet."

"Maura?" She turned slowly to face Jane. Jane smiled brightly at her as she fell to one knee before her lover. Maura lifted her hand to her lips as she gave a silent gasp.

"Jane..." Jane opened the box to reveal a simple but elegant ring. Their eyes met and Maura saw all the love reflected in those brown eyes. "Yes," she said quietly as tears began to flow down her cheeks. Jane hopped up and slipped the ring on her lover's finger. Maura lifted her hand to look at the ring before pulling Jane into a deep, loving kiss. They were both smiling when they parted.

"Do you like it," Jane asked as she took her left hand.

"Its perfect."

"It was my Nana's ring. Ma gave it to me a few months ago when she realized I was very serious about you." Jane gave her hand a kiss. "I love you, so much." Maura kissed her lips.

"I love you too." They met in another kiss. They were so lost in the kiss they didn't know how much time passed before they were interrupted by loud clapping. They parted and looked toward the window of the morgue. Jane's brothers, Frost, Korsak, and Chang came rushing in to embrace the newly engaged couple. Maura happily revealed her hand with the ring. Jane hugged her close, placing a quick kiss on her cheek. They had their little celebration for a bit before they had to separate to go back to work.

"The engagement party will be held tomorrow night at the house," Frankie announced as they walked out. Jane gave Maura one more quick kiss before following them out of the room.

"Oh, I have to tell Cavanah," Jane said as the elevator doors closed.

Jane came up to Cavanah door. She took a deep breath before giving it a quick knock. A call to enter followed. Jane opened the door and froze. Joey Grant was sitting in a chair across from Cavanah. He stood up.

"Hello Jane," he greeted.

"Hey...Joey..." An awkward silence fell between them.

"You need something, Rizzoli," Cavanah asked. She focused on him.

"Ah...yeah...sir...I just wanted to let you know that she excepted." She smiled at her commander. He smiled, standing up. He came around to shake her hand.

"Congratulations, Detective Rizzoli." Jane smiled proudly.

"Thank you, sir."

"Anyone wanna clue me in," Joey asked. They looked to him.

"Rizzoli just asked Dr. Isles to marry here," Cavanah said proudly. Joey's eyes bulged a little.

"The female...Dr. Isles," he asked. Jane nodded. "Oh...well congratulations." He offered his hand. Jane shook it. "Does your ma know," he asked. Jane's face fell.

"Oh crap. I gotta go tell her." Jane turned to leave. She paused, facing them again. "If she ask, I told you after I told her. If she finds out...well lets just say it'll be a funeral instead of a wedding." She started to leave and stopped again. "Oh and engagement party tomorrow night." Cavanah laughed as he she shoot off.

Jane came home to find the house dark. She sighed. She could have swore Maura left before her. Sighing she went into the house. She left her shoes at the door. She didn't bother with the lights as she made her way to the bed room. The full moon lit the house thru the room.

She came into the bedroom and took off her jacket and then her socks. She was about to undress further when she noticed soft light breaching from under the door to the bathroom. Slowly she made her way into the bathroom. The door opened to reveal the room. A small trail of roses led to the tub, which was filled with steaming water. The sent of jasmine greeted her as well. Candles were placed throughout the room giving it the soft glow. Jane walked completely into the room and heard the door close. She spun around and smiled.

"Hello, my love," Maura greeted as she leaned back into the door. She was dressed in a short blue robe. She walked over and pulled her fiance into a kiss. They were smiling when they parted. "I got something for you," she said. She brought her left hand around and opened it. A ring rested in her palm.

"What's this," Jane asked. Maura smiled.

"I know you're not the diamond ring type of woman," she said as she held the ring between her fingers. The ring was silver with two hands coming together to hold a crowned heart. "Its called a claddagh. Its an Irish engagement ring. Maura took Jane's right hand. "You wear it on your right hand with the hear facing inward." She slipped the ring on Jane's finger. "This indicates that your heart is currently taken. That you are promised to someone." She laced the fingers of her left hand with the fingers of Jane's right.
"And the day we say our vows it will go on your left hand which will tell everyone that our souls are forever bound." Jane brought her close with her free hand to kiss her again.

"Our souls are already bound, Maura. These rings, the ceremony, they're all just physical signs for other people." They smiled lovingly at each other for a long moment.

"Come, the water will get cold," Maura said. She turned Jane to face the tub. She went to work undressing Jane. She then watched her lover get in the tub before untying her robe. Jane watched with rapt attention as Maura's body was revealed to her. She had every inch of that body memorized but she never got tired of looking at it. She leaned up at Maura's instruction. Maura settled behind her in the water. Jane leaned back into her, welcoming the arms that wrapped around her. Jane took Maura's left hand and kissed the ring.

"We're getting married," she said softly. Maura gave an affirmative hum as she kissed Jane's shoulder. "You and me for the rest of our lives."

"Yes. Me and you." There was a question burning beneath the surface for both of them but neither were ready to ask it so they relaxed in the water. Maura ran the sponge over her body lazily. Jane drifted in a happy haze. Even when the sponge disappeared to be replaced by soft hands. She hummed as one hand gently grasped her breast. The other slid from her stomach down her abdomen to cup her under the water. A sigh escaped her lips as a finger caressed her slit. Her eyes fluttered open to look back at Maura. She smiled at Jane before capturing her lips in a slow, deep kiss. Their tongues met, dancing in Jane's mouth. Jane slipped her hand into Maura's hair. Her fingers tightened in her locks as a finger pressed into her. She cried out as Maura thrust into her, then added a second finger.

"Maura," she whispered as her hips surged forward, drastically shifting the water around them.

"Thats it darling, just let it happen," Maura coached. She moved slowly inside her lover, building her up higher and higher until Jane was quaking in her 's movements fed her own fire between her legs. They were close enough that Jane was rubbing between her legs giving her just enough friction. She took Jane's tugging on her hair as she exploded into her hand. Maura came with her, burying her face in Jane's neck. They relaxed taking in their after glow until the water turned cool against their skin.

Jane spent the next day doing paper work. Thankfully the criminals and murders of Boston had taken a bit of a break. She also spent part of the day keeping Frost and Korsak in line. Around lunch time she decided to go see Maura. She stood up.

"Hey, I'm going to lunch." The guys nodded, busy with their own paper work. She headed out of the pin toward the elevators. She had just pushed the button when she heard her name.

"Jane," Joey called. She turned to see him jogging up to her. "Hey," he said with a smile. Jane gave a small smile in return.

"Hows it going Joey," she asked in way of greeting. He nodded.

"Its going good. I should be set soon. I'll be taking over in the new computer crimes devision." Jane nodded. The doors opened.

"Good for you. I hope you like it. I'll see ya later." She stepped into the elevator. Joey followed her. She looked at him with barely contained annoyance. The doors closed and Jane pushed the lab's floor. He gave her a smile.

"So you're..." He hesitated. Jane rolled her eyes.

"I'm gay, Joey. Its not that hard of a word to say. It's like one syllable."

"Sorry it's just...the last time I saw you, you kissed me."

"Yes. But that was a while ago. I've moved on."

"So what you felt for me wasn't real?" Jane shook her head.

"Joey...I did care about you and I was attracted to you but that was then. You're the one who left, Joey."

"I know I just..I had hoped...if I came back..." Jane turned to ask him what he hoped but instead she was met with an unexpected and unwanted kiss. She froze for a half second to take in the fact that this was happening. The other half of the second is how long it took for her anger to rise. Jane pulled back. The fury in her eyes was the only warning he got before her fist was coming down on his face. He let out a grunt as he was taken to the floor by the force of the punch. He looked up at Jane as he pressed his hand to his busted lip.

"I don't know what you HOPED Joey Grant but if you ever touch me like that again I will beat the shit out of you. I love Maura. I am with her and she is going to be my wife." The doors opened to reveal two female lab assistants. They took in the scene, watching Jane storm off down the hall. They looked back at Joey.

"We'll take the next one." The elevator doors closed on Joey.

Maura sensed her lover's bad mood as she entered the morgue. Maura was busy closing up her current patient. She let Jane pace a few feet away as she finished. When she was done she covered the body before removing her gloves and her cover. She then walked over to Jane, standing so when Jane turned to pace back she was in the way. Their eyes locked. Jane's anger seemed to vanish in that instant. She gave a tired smile.

"Kiss me, please," she said weakly. Maura smiled. She cupped her face tenderly.

"You never have to say please." She pulled her down to meet her in the kiss. Jane felt her heart soar at the contact. She loved this woman. More than anything. Even more than her pride. She pulled back, taking a deep breath.

"Joey...kissed me." Maura tensed. An old fear began to rise. Jane took her hands in her own. "Then I punched him and told him I loved you. And that if he ever touched me again I'd beat the shit out of him." Maura smiled. Then she saw Jane's busted knuckles on her left hand. She took the hand in her's as she examined the damage.

"You punched him in the mouth. Jane, you know that is the worst place to punch someone. There are so many germs you could get." Maura started listing off germs as she took Jane to her office. She got her first aide kit and went to work cleaning Jane's hand.

"So you're not mad I punched him? You're just mad I punched him in the mouth?" Maura looked up at her.

"I don't usually approve of violence but in this situation...I am not upset. I am glad you hit him." Maura stopped. Jane smiled.

"Because he tried to take something that belonged to you." Maura blushed. Jane caressed her cheek with her uninjured hand. "Thats okay. I like belonging to you. As long as you belong to me." Maura smiled. They met in a tender kiss.

"I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine," Maura whispered against her lips.

"Amen," Jane replied. They laughed. "Lets go to lunch." Maura hummed her agreement.

"While we're out we can start talking about the wedding." Jane smiled.

"Anything you want. We'll do it. I'm just there for the bride." Maura smiled.

"Well it's OUR wedding so you will be helping me decide." Jane smiled.

"Yes, honey. Whatever you say." Maura playfully smacked her arm before stepping away to grab her bag from her desk.

"Come along." She said as she headed for the door. Jane followed happily. She was whipped and it was great.

That evening was the engagement party. Angela had taken the day off and with Constance'd help, they set up the whole thing. Jane stood off to the side. She looked over to find Maura speaking with a few of her lab workers. Maura turned, sensing her gaze. She smiled when their eyes met. Jane smiled back. Her attention was diverted when a strong hand landed on her shoulder. She turned to find her brother and partner standing next to her.

"You got it bad, Rizzoli," Frost said. She playfully punched him in the arm.

"You're just jealous." Frost looked back at Maura who was one again talking to her people.

"Just a little. I don't have someone like that. To love like that. You're damn lucky." Jane nodded.

"I know. Trust me I know." She smiled at her fiance.

"Janie," Tommy called from across the room. She turned to see her little brother walking with his son. She went over to them. She hugged the adults before taking her nephew into her grinned.

"Hey, you good if I go grab something to eat," he asked. Jane nodded. TJ was getting so big. He stared up at his aunt with a huge grin. She tapped his cheek gently.

"You are a hansom boy, aren't you." Maura walked up to her side, placing a hand on Jane's lower back. She looked at her with a smile, which Maura returned. They turned back to the boy. He grinned up at both of them. "Soon Maura is going to officially be your auntie." She kissed his cheek. Maura cup the back of his head gently.

"He is so beautiful," she said. "I can't wait to have our own children." Jane froze. That was something they never really talked about. Maura noticed her tension. "Jane?" Jane looked at her.

"I"m good." She turned to fully face Maura. "It's just...we never..." Maura smiled as she cupped her face in her hands and kissed her.

"We can talk about it later, ok. We'll work everything out. I'm sure your mother will be more than happy to help with that." Maura couldn't help the laugh caused by the shift in her lover's face.

"No. She'll have us both pregnant at the same time." They both laughed. TJ gave a squeal of laughter as well, recapturing his aunts' attention. "Speaking of grandma, we should take you over to her before she pitches a fit," Jane said to the infant in a baby voice. Maura laughed. She took Jane's free hand and they crossed the room to Angela.

Jane stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped only in a towel while drying her hair, to find her lover and future wife sitting on the edge of their bed. She looked totally lost in thought. Maura looked up at her. She gave a half smile. Jane went over and sat down next to her. She took her hand in her own.

"What's wrong?" Maura shrugged. "I love you," she said.

"I love you, too," she said quietly. Jane grinned.

"Well don't look so happy about that," Maura laughed, leaning into Jane's side.

"I am happy. Happier than I have ever been."

"Then what is it?" Jane kissed her head.

"I'm not unhappy. I just had a moment." She paused for a long second. "I want to carry our children but I'd also like to adopt at least one child." Jane nodded.

"Ok. How many kids were you thinking?" Maura looked at her.

"How many have you thought about," she countered. Jane shrugged.

"Two or three so there are siblings. I really loved growing up with Frankie and Tommy. And I know you didn't like growing up alone." Maura nodded.

"I like the thought of three. One will be adopted." Jane smiled.

"A little girl. A little irish girl. Maybe after our first child. So she will never think she wasn't enough." Maura smiled at her.

"Sounds good." She leaned in and kissed her tenderly.

"It's a nice feeling," Jane said. Maura looked at her confused.

"Kissing?" Jane smiled.

"Those are great but I meant this feeling. I'm not afraid anymore. I know who and what we are. I know our love is the greatest thing I've ever felt." Jane caressed her cheek. "You make me not feel afraid." She leaned forward and kissed her soon to be wife. Maura was smiling when she pulled back slightly.

"We've come so far. And now we're going to be married," Maura said happily. They kissed again. Maura moved to straddle Jane's lap. Jane's hands came to rest on her hips. She squeezed gently as Maura deepened their kiss. Maura used gentle pressure to guide Jane to lay down, breaking their kiss. Jane looked up at her lover as she removed her shirt. She smiled, reaching with her left hand to cup a bountiful breast. Maura sighed as she squeezed gently, her eyes slipping closed.

"You are so beautiful," Jane told her. Maura leaned down, capturing her lips once more. Heat built between them as they kissed. Maura worked Jane's towel open and they met skin to skin. Their kissing intensified. Jane tangled her fingers in Maura's silky hair with one hand while the other gripped her rear, squeezing in rhythm with Maura's gentle thrust. Maura rolled them over so Jane was on top of her. She laughed when she was slapped with falling, wet hair. Jane laughed too.

"Sorry," she told her. Maura just pulled her down into a kiss.

"I need you Jane. Please," she whispered against her lips. Jane groaned at the need in her lover's voice.

"I'm here, baby." Jane slipped her hand between their bodies, touching Maura through her yoga pants. She gasped at the pressure provided. Jane smiled as she kissed her again. She rubbed her gently, teasing her. Maura's breath became shorter as she worked her up.

"Jane...please..." Jane kissed her again. She then set up on her knees to remove her shorts and then Maura's yoga pants. Maura pulled her close once they were both naked. They both moaned.

"God, baby. You feel so good," Jane muttered. She buried her nose in Maura's hair. She inhaled the intoxicating scent of her lover as she caressed her until she was squirming with need. Then she kissed her way down the lean body, paying homage to her breast for a long moment, before removing the yoga pants along with the lacy thong beneath. Maura watched with mouth agape as Jane brought her thong to her nose and inhaled.

"Oh, god, Jane. Please." Jane threw the thong over her shoulder with a wide grin. Maura smiled back. Jane surged forward to claim her lips. She gripped Maura's thighs and pulled her close. Maura whimpered as her center met Jane's flesh. Jane thrust her hips forward, causing her beloved to cry out. She set a steady but slow rhythm. She attacked Maura's neck as Maura got louder. Her own pleasure built with each thrust and cry of pleasure. She breathed heavily into Maura's ears.

"Jane," she said breathlessly. "So close, baby..." She pulled Jane into a kiss. Her arms wrapped around Jane's shoulders. Her nails began to dig into Jane's back. The pricks of pain pushed Jane to go harder. Soon they were both crying and grunting as the came together.

No to much later they lay under the covers, wrapped in each other's arms. Maura's head was tucked under Jane's chin. She played absently with Jane's hair. Jane was tracing circles on her back with a finger. Everything was perfect. They were together. Jane kissed Maura's head. Maura placed a kiss where Jane's heart beat. There was nothing to say. There was no more fear. They were complete. Anything else was just gravy.

Thats it. Thanks again for reading. You've all been great.
