Can't Get That At Home 5/?

But does she love you Like she loves me?
Does she think of you When she's holding me?

Maura leaned against her desk , trying not to think, trying her best to forget. It had been a month since she had spoken to Jane about anything other than dead bodies. The detective had been going out of her way to avoid Maura. There was no teasing or flirting over whomever she happened to have on her autopsy table, no drinks at the dirty robber. Not even a friendly lunch. Maura found herself missing her friendship with Jane more than her sexual relationship with the other woman. Sure she still woke up at night aching with need after a very dirty dream, but she missed the friendship much more.

Frost came down to the morgue for lunch almost everyday to keep her company and while she enjoyed the friendly presence it wasn’t the same, not by a long shot. He was carefully not to tease her to much , so he wouldn’t hurt her feelings. Jane had never been like that she teased to no end and then apologized if it hurt Maura’s feelings. She knew he meant well though.

She heard her doors slide open and for a moment her heart rate picked up a little thinking that maybe it was Jane but when she looked up she smiled sadly at Frost who was carrying a large brown paper bag and two bottles of water. He smiled brightly at her and held up the things he was carrying setting them down on her desk.

“What’s up doc?”

“Good afternoon Barry.” She replied trying not to sound to disappointed. Frost raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything about her tone. He handed her a salad and took a seat in the extra chair that was normally occupied buy Jane.

“She’s just as bad off as you, just so you know.” he said simply looking Maura in the eyes. Maura nodded once and brought something else up as they continued to eat their lunch. She didn’t want to talk about Jane anymore Frost brought her up a little to often for her liking. They talked about Frost’s girlfriend for a bit, Maura could tell he was smitten with her by the way he smiled and how his eyes shined when he talked about their weekend spent together.

She had to change the subject from his girlfriend pretty soon as well. Maura was a little more than jealous over how happy her friend was. She knew it wasn’t rational but if she had learned anything during her time with Jane it was that emotions rarely held any rationality. When they were done eating Frost stood up, said his good byes with a promise to bring lunch tomorrow and then left Maura alone in her quiet morgue. The rest of the day drug on since apparently murders were taking a holiday and she didn’t have any bodies to autopsy she spent the better half of the afternoon online shopping.

Finally at six she decided to call it a day packed up her things and left. Like she had most nights she went out of her way to walk past Jane’s desk just to catch a glimpse of her but the other woman was already gone.

“Mommy!” Jax yelled as Jane walked through the door before she could even sit her stuff down Jax launched himself into her arms. Jane laughed quietly and hugged him close to her savoring his warmth it was moments like these that it really hit her how much she loved her son, of course she always knew she loved him but sometimes it snuck up on her kind of like a tidal wave.

“Hey buddy.” Jane smiled for the first time in what felt like forever. “Where is your daddy?”

Jax shrugged and pointed at the back door. “He said he’s firing up the grill to make some bitching hamburgers.”

Jane laughed and shook her head at her son, thinking about how bad they really needed to watch what they said when he was in earshot. “Don’t say that word Jax.” She scolded him

“Don’t say what?”

“Bitching.”

“Why?”

Jane let out a huff of hair and looked down at him. “Because if you do Nonni Rizzoli will wash your mouth out with soap.”

“But you and daddy say words like that all the time.” He pointed out

“That would be because we are adults when you get big like us you can say all the bad words you want.” She explained as she stepped out the back door to find Vince at the grill he looked up from what he was cooking a grinned at her.

“Hey sweet cheeks.” he leaned over and kissed her on the lips Jane raised an eyebrow at him for the kiss and the nickname he hadn’t called her in years but he took no notice to it just flipped the burgers while whistling.

“How was work today?”

Jane sighed and fell into the chair closest to her husband. “Jax why don’t you go play?” She asked him gently he nodded and ran off to his swing set.

“That bad huh?” he asked Jane nodded.

“We aren’t any closer to finding this surgeon guy. I’ve just I don’t know what to do.” Jane said looking up into Vince’s dark eyes wishing they were the Maura’s hazel ones. Jane wasn’t entirely comfortable talking to Vince about her work or anything at all really. There had been a time when she could share anything in the world with her husband but he was, as her coworkers often joked about, the enemy. He briefly looked up before switching the grill off and walking behind Jane. She jumped a little when she felt his hands on her shoulders.

“Jane relax for a minute I’m not going to bite you.” he laughed while he rubbed her shoulders. Jane did as he asked but not completely and stiffened up almost immediately when he dropped a kiss on her neck. He must not have noticed Jane’s reaction because he kissed her again.

“How about after dinner we put Jax to bed early and have a little fun.” He asked

Jane tried her best to smile up at him this was after all what she wanted right? She wanted her husband to take an interest in her again and here he was doing it… so why was it that she felt like she wanted to throw up a the mention of sex with him?

Jane didn’t sleep at all that night so when her alarm rang at six in the morning she immediately turned it off and rolled over in bed so that she was facing Vincent and waited for him to wake up. After only a few moments his eyes fluttered open and a sleepy smile appeared on his face he tried to pull her to him and kiss her but Jane put a hand to his chest to stop him.

“Morning.” He said his voice gravely with sleep Jane pursed her lips and studied him for a long time before she opened her mouth to speak but closed it again. She knew that what she was about to say would change everything maybe for the best but maybe for the worst either way Jane didn’t know but she couldn’t go throughout life not knowing.

“I think we should get a divorce.” Jane said before she rolled out off bed and started getting ready for the work.

He kissed my lips, I taste your mouth, oh!
He pulled me in, I was disgusted with myself
'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night

A/N: Happy now? lol finally she asks for a divorce I wonder what Vince's and Maura's reactions will be!? Ah well guess you're going to have to comment to find out sooner.

But seriously sorry for the wait I found out I have a sister the other day and my mind has been on finding her and not writing... I also have a job now. but I will get the next chapter up asap!
