“What the hell do you mean you want a divorce?” Vince exclaimed after he jumped out of bed and started to get dressed.
Jane finished buttoning up her shirt and went to get a pair of socks out of her top drawer. “I mean exactly what one means when they say they want a divorce. We need to quit kidding ourselves Vince this has been coming for a very long time.”
“After last night you seriously want to end a ten year marriage.”
Jane laughed humorlessly tying her shoes. “Last night is what helped me come to this decision Vince.”
Vince glared at her. “Yeah well you seemed to think differently while you where moaning beneath me.”
Jane’s laugh was cut short as she met her husbands death glare with one of her own. “Then damn Vinny I must be a better actress than I though because I most certainly didn’t get any enjoyment out of that! I didn’t even cum Vincent but I guess you wouldn’t notice since you’re always so wrapped up in yourself or what the fuck ever her name is.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about Jane I’ve been completely faithful to you.” Vince said and Jane had to give him credit he was pretty good at lying but she was Jane and he was Vince she knew this man probably better than he knew himself.
Another humorless laugh escaped her lips and she threw her hands up in frustration. “I’m a fucking detective if I didn’t know you were screwing anything and everything in a skirt I would be pretty shitty at my job wouldn’t I? So let me ask you this Vincent… was she worth it? Was she worth loosing your wife and son?”
Vince crossed his arms over his chest. “I don’t know Jane I could ask you the same thing about that medical examiner “friend” of yours.”
Jane’s jaw dropped her eyes widening how did he know? How could he possibly know about what happened between her and Maura?
“Yeah… Janie I’ve known for a while now like you said I wouldn’t be good at my job if I didn’t know now would I.” He crossed the room in a few quick strides and got impossibly close to Jane invading her personal space she brought a hand up to firmly push him away from her but he grabbed in roughly and yanked her against him.
“If you divorce me Jane I will take everything from you. I promise you that much dyke.” he let go of her arm pushing her with such a force that she fell against the wall her head hitting it with a loud thunk. Jane couldn’t even react as he left the room, he had never once done anything remotely violent like what had just transpired. He had never even threatened her, he didn’t even condone spanking Jaxon. As Jane slid down the wall into a seating position she found herself wondering what the hell happened to the sweet guy she married.

Jane steeped into the elevator subconsciously pulling down the sleeves of her shirt to cover the dark purple bruise that formed on her wrist. After what happened in their bedroom Vince left before Jane could recover enough to give her a piece of his mind as well as a few bruises of her own. Jane took a long gulp from her coffee cup and closed her eyes tightly. When had she become this woman? The one who doesn’t beat the hell out of a man who laid a hand on her. The old Jane would have had Vincent on his knees in a matter of seconds.
“Wait! Hold the elevator!” came the unmistakable voice of Maura fallowed by clicking of heals. Jane put her hand out just in time to stop the doors from closing The blonde stepped in out of breath. nodded her thanks to Jane and turned her back to the other woman closing her eyes tight. If she would have known Jane was in this elevator she really wouldn’t have tried to get on it. Being in such close proximity to the detective was never a good idea.
Jane took a deep breath, she was going to tell Maura that her and Vince were getting a divorce and that they could be together for real this time.
“Maura I-” Maura turned around swiftly and stopped Jane from getting out the rest of what she had to say as her lips crashed against Jane’s forcefully her hands found her hips and slid up over Jane’s flat stomach. Jane breathed deeply through her nose as she deepened the kiss by nipping on Maura’s bottom lip. How nice it was to kiss Maura again, to feel her hands all over Jane’s body. The elevator dinged and Maura ended the kiss just as quickly as she had started it and left Jane shocked and breathless without a word.
Jane was having none of that though she recovered in time to pick up her coffee cup that she dropped and slide out of the closing elevator doors to fallow Maura into the morgue. When Jane entered Maura looked up at her expectantly like she hadn’t just kissed and groped Jane in the elevator.
“Is there something you wanted detective?”
Jane stared at her open mouthed, she shook her head. “I… Tell me that just happened and it wasn’t my very over active imagination.” Jane said though she knew it wasn’t true she could taste Maura’s chap stick on her lips.
“If you are referring the that kiss we just shared than yes Detective it did just happen, and I am very sorry. I have no idea what came over me.”
Jane rolled her eyes in frustration. “Stop calling me detective.”
Maura tilted her head to the side and wrinkled her nose in confusion. “Why? That’s what you are isn’t it?”
“Well, I mean yeah I am but you haven’t called me that since your first week here. I’m your friend Maura.”
“Jane you haven’t spoken to me about anything other than work for the past month. I think it’s safe to say that we are nothing more than coworkers now.”
“I asked him for a divorce Maura.” Jane said trying her best to ignore the cold tone Maura’s voice had taken on.
For a second Jane thought she saw a flicker of hope pass over Maura’s expression but she blinked and it was gone later she would wonder if she had just been making things up. After a few long moments when Maura didn’t answer she continued.
“It means we can be together now. I mean really together Maura. I can take you on dates and kiss you in public.”
Maura looked over at Jane and pursed her lips. “Come back when you have signed the papers Jane.”
“Maura… I miss you. I miss your presence in my life, I miss you always being there. I just miss my best friend.”
“I’m sorry Jane, I’m really sorry for kissing you. I shouldn’t have done that. I don’t want to kiss you again until your divorced so. Come see me when you’ve taken care of that.”
Jane gazed sadly at Maura as she turned her back to her, she knew she had been dismissed but she couldn’t bring herself to leave.
“Jane… please”
She nodded, though Maura couldn’t see it and left. She arrived in the bullpen at the same time as Korsak who was caring two cups of coffee. “Please tell me that one of those are for me.” Jane all but begged her ex partner.
Korsak nodded and Jane reached out for the cup completely forgetting the concealed bruise on her wrist. Her shirt sleeve pulled up just enough for him to get a glimpse of it. Jane jerked her hand back and pulled the sleeves down.
“What was that?” he asked narrowing her eyes at her. He took her hand and pulled up the sleeve of her shirt before Jane could stop him.
“Did Vince do this?” Korsak asked his voice laced with anger.
“Look he didn’t mean to. That was the first time anything has happened and it won’t happen again okay? I’m divorcing him, when I told him he grabbed my arm end of story.”
“You need to tell someone.”
Jane snatched her arm away. “I will not be a victim got that Korsak? I tell someone that my husband did this and instantly this reputation I’ve built for myself is gone. They will all think I’m weak, I will not have that! So please don’t say anything. I have it under control.”
“Okay Jane but if I see anything else.”
“I’ll understand.” Jane said softly she ran a hand through her hair and sighed. “Look I’m going home for a bit I’ve got to set some things in order. Call me if we get anything?”

It only took Jane all day to get all of her and Jax’s things packed up. She loaded everything she could in the trunk of her cruiser making sure she had enough clothes and toys to keep Jax entertained until she could get the guys to help her move the rest of her things. She could do it herself but she really didn’t want to be alone with Vincent again. It wasn’t that she didn’t feel like she could handle him alone because she knew that she definitely could but she didn’t want to give him the chance.
She didn’t really want to go back to her parents but she didn’t have anywhere else to go. Frankie certainty didn’t have enough room for her in his two bedroom bachelor pad that he shared with one of his cop buddies and Maura made it clear where she stood when it came to the two of them. So she swallowed her pride and knocked on her parents door. Angela answered the door and smiled brightly at her daughter.
“Jax is in the living room watching some movie with your father he’s been so-” She stopped short noticing the suitcase in Jane’s hand.
“What happened?”
“I’ll tell you about it if you let me in. Can I stay with you for a while until I get my own place?” She asked as she pushed past her mother.
“Yes of course Janie.” She said patting Jane on the shoulder. “You can take your old room and Jax can have Frankie’s.”
Jane nodded and headed up the stairs to put her stuff away. When she got back she sat at the kitchen table across from her mom.
“Okay explain.” said Angela as she sat a glass of water in front of Jane.
“Ma’ there is nothing to explain we’ve been fighting a lot lately and…” She trailed off looking down at her hands.
“And you’ve been sleeping with Maura.”
“Ma!” Exclaimed Jane.
“What you have been haven’t you?”
Jane groaned in frustrated. “Did everyone know?”
“Your father doesn’t.”
“I didn’t cheat first… And I’m in love with her Ma’” Confessed Jane. Whatever Angela was about to say was cut off by Jane’s phone going off.
“Rizzoli.” Jane answered.
“We’ve got him Jane. Lady said she saw a man fitting the guy’s go into her neighbors house about two hours ago.”
“Why the hell didn’t we find out about this sooner he could be gone!” Jane exclaimed snatching her keys up from the countertop.
“I don’t know… I’m texting you the address if you get there before me do not go in without back up.”
“I won’t.” Jane answered shortly.
“I mean it Rizzoli.”
“I said I won’t.” Jane snapped, closing her phone. She kissed her mother on the cheek. “Tell Jax I’ll be home as soon as I can okay?”
Angela nodded and watched her daughter leave with a frown. For some reason she had a very bad feeling about Jane leaving.
