Maura woke up to an empty cold bed but that didn't stop her from smiling. She probably went to get us breakfast. She did mention maybe going to pick up doughnuts in the morning last night when we were falling asleep.

She'd just finished getting ready when she heard the door open. "Jane?" Maura called from her bedroom.

"Yeah." She heard Jane reply, her smile widened. But she contained her glee and walked to Jane who had just set down a box of doughnuts and two cups of coffee.

"Hey. You weren't in bed this morning. I missed you." Maura said standing on her tiptoes to kiss the detective gently. Jane kissed her back for a moment but pulled away rather quickly then blushed and stared at Maura.

"Are you alright Jane?" Maura asked.

"I… What… what just happened?" Jane asked looking at the ground. "You kissed me. Why did you kiss me all of the sudden?"

"What do you mean? We've been dating for awhile now. You proposed." Maura couldn't stop the sinking feeling in her stomach. "I think I'm going to be sick." Maura said when she realized what was happening. "None of that…" Maura lurched. "None of that happened. And I just… Oh god. Oh god please don't be angry at me Jane. If I'd known it was all just a dream I would've never..." It hit Maura like a brick. She couldn't stop the tears from falling even if she had tried. It was all a dream everything that happened in the last month was a dream. Oh god. I can't believe this is happening.

"Do I look upset?" Jane asked gently. Maura looked at Jane though she could hardly see she could tell from her tone that she wasn't upset so she shook her head. "I'm just confused. I've had feelings for you for a long time now." Jane admitted rather easily but she couldn't keep herself from turning a light shade of pink. "So tell me about this dream."

Maura took a deep calming breath."Well… I just got back to work and you were apologizing again for everything and I kissed you…"Maura smiled a little at the sweetness of it. She couldn't help but compare it to the kiss they'd just shared. "We were going to forget about it at first but both of us decided we didn't really want to. So we started dating. It was wonderful really even though our first date got interrupted by a homicide."Jane chuckled. "And we kept getting caught fooling around. Your mother caught us kissing and groping each other 'like a couple of horny teenagers' is a phrase she might have used while she was lecturing us." Maura laughed even though she still felt sad.

"Was she disappointed?" Jane asked. She sounded worried even though she knew it was Maura's dream version of her mother and not really her mother.

"Of course not. She was just disappointed we took so long to tell her. Tommy was angry. But I think he would've come around eventually. And you.. you proposed to me… and… and we went to bed together and you mentioned maybe having doughnuts in the morning." Maura blushed. "And I guess that's when I woke up."

"Sounds like a lovely dream."

"It was wonderful," Maura said softly. "But it was just a dream."

"Well why don't we go about making this dream real." Jane said softly staring at Maura with a gentle loving look. "After all you went through so much trouble dreaming up that reality. The least I can do is try and make this one better."

"What?"

"Look I already said I've had feelings for you for a long time. I might not be as good at expressing myself in real life as I am in your dreams. But I do know that I love you. That is real. And obviously if you're having dreams like that about me and you're kissing me you must feel something for me. So… we'll make it work."

"You're not teasing me are you?" Maura asked seriously.

"I'm not teasing you."

"So…we're going to go out on dates? And kiss and have sex." Maura asked not sure if she could really believe what she was hearing.

Jane turned a bright shade of red. "We can kiss. But let's see how the first few dates go before the sex."

"We can wait for as long as you want if you're serious about giving a relationship a chance." Maura laughed.

"Good. So no more tears right?"

"No more tears." Maura confirmed.

"Great. Now let's eat these doughnuts. And if you're feeling up to it we can go for a walk in the park. We have to get you walking more. I mean you aren't limping anymore which is nice. But you can't go back to work until you're fully healed." Jane smiled.

"Was the garden real Jane?" Maura asked softly. "What was real and what was a dream?"

"let me think. I left work early to come over here because you seemed lonely. So we ordered in for lunch and dinner and we watched movies together when you fell asleep, So I carried you to your room and I stayed in the guest room. The day before that you spent most of the day in your yard planting flowers and I brought you dinner that my Ma made. Any of that sound familiar?"

"Yes. So it was all real until the movies? I didn't tell you to stay in my room with me then?"

"No I think I would've remembered that detail if you had. You were out."

"And we didn't talk about me going back to work today?"

"Nope that conversation didn't happen, although I am very opposed to the idea if you were wondering. You're not fully healed yet maybe two more days."

Maura couldn't help but smile. "No wonder it seemed so real." Maura chuckled a bit. "I got you exactly right."

"Yeah well I hope I'm better than a dream in the long run." Jane said with a smirk.

"Jane you're a dream come true." Maura said softly.

Okay so that's the end of this little Fic. Thank you SO much for reading and please don't be mad for making almost all of it a dream. That being said.
