I  left Antonio at my house. I sorta feel guilty but than I don't.  my best friend needs me and she will always be looked upon by me. It won't matter if I am in a relationship, married etcetera.  This is what good friends do for one another.  I park Jane's SUV in the doctor's parking lot and pull out my placard and place it around Jane's mirror. The one of a few being a doctor and the medical examiner.  The staff know me here. I lock up Jane's vehicle and head upstairs to her room with my bag. I  enter Jane's room and they both are asleep.  The staff knew I was returning and brought in a second recliner and Jane has her own room which I insisted.  I place my bag in Jane's closet and hook up my ipad and lap top to charge. I text Frost, Nina and Korsak to inform them about Jane. I look at Jane and she is slightly snoring which brings a smile to my face. i know she is sleeping well than and her body is exhausted.  Even though she and others don't blame me,  I still feel guilty.  I pray out loud. God please look over my bestie and her loved ones. Help us help her get through this set back and please help me too with my guilt feelings. Amen
"Maur thank you for praying but its not your fault. I am thirsty. " I hand Jane some ice chips with water and hold it for her while she drinks.  "Thank you mom for the assist. GET up here with me.  I  need my docs cuddles." I place the cup down and remove my shoes and jacket and climb onto the tiny bed with her and my extra pillows and blanket.  I don't need the blanket but Jane is always cold in hospitals. "Maur thanks for coming back and dropping my brothers off so they could sleep. The last time those two shared a room is when we were all kids.  MA made them share a room even though we had extra rooms. She wanted them to be close and it worked." "Of course it did.  mother's always knows whats best." Angela smiles at Jane. "Maur I heard your prayer. I already told you don't feel guilty.  Don't make me have to get up and hit you behind your head to knock some sense into you." Jane and I chuckle. " MA don't make me laugh. it hurts."  We all talk about Jay and Antonio. "So my two girls both seem to have found two special guys you cradle robbers. My girls still have it. Sorry Jane." Angela apologized because we both started to chuckle again. "Jane tell me more about this young fine looking man." " Jane at least we know Angela still has good eye sight."  " Well, Jay owns Regal realty  and started up at a young age. Both of his parents are realtors too, but they have their real estate business in New York. Jay wanted to start his own business and not be under his parents thumb being compared to them all the time. He took his license test in Boston and passed. His friend Cindy Wade grew up together. She encouraged him to move and start his business here which he did. He said Cindy and her husband at the time helped him make the right connections. Cindy is a widower like Atwater. Her husband was well known in the business world in advertising. Her husband did the advertising for him and with their connections Jay's business flourished quicker than if he would of done it on his own.  He said he didn't mind the Wades help. He just didn't want his parents to help. He owns his own home but we haven't spent much time there. We are taking our sex life slow and get to know one another first.  He is a die hard Celtic fan. He likes baseball but doesn't have a favorite team. He gives back to the community alot and goes to church alot or more than me at our old parish, St.  Michael's  Catholic Church..He enjoys sports and outdoor activities.  He is a phenomenal cook which I am slowly learning. He is younger but treats me like a princess. That about covers. ONE more thing,  he is scared of me being a cop but supports me."   "Sweetie he seems to be a nice guy.  Once you get better, invite him over to the Rizzoli Sunday dinner." We eventually nod off.
Its morning now and our last day for dinner before we have to head off tomorrow back home.  Today was mine and Maur's day to cook.  I  get up and start the coffee. I began peeling the potatoes to make hashbrowns,  eggs, bacon and fresh squeezed orange juice."Morning Antonio.  what can we do to help?"   "Frankie you and Tommy can set the table up. I just have to finish with eggs which won't take long.  Also help with toasting the bread."

Everyone is up and we eat the breakfast Antonio and Jane's brothers make. "Aye can one of you guys take me to a florist and the grocery store. Maur took Jane's SUV.  I have no wheels.  I want to make her a fruit basket."  "Jay Cindy can take you in my truck to the grocery store and florist. We all can go visit her together or Cindy can drop you off and pick you up."  " I would like to spend sometime alone with Maur and Mrs. Rozzoli."
"Jay start calling our MA Angela before she corrects you.  She prefer that over Mrs
Rizzoli.  Otherwise you make my MA feel old " says Frankie. "Jay we will text MA and Maur to go stretch their legs and we will make them lunch which will give you time alone with her.  Once you get back,  we will visit her for awhile and come back to make dinner with Antonio.  By the way, what are we making and do you have everything we need to make it with?" "No Maur and I were going to go to the farmer's market ro get the fresh ingredients and buy the rest at the grocery store." We help Antonio clean up and head out to buy the ingredients for tonight's dinner and their lunch for Jay to take to them.
Cindy left with Jay.
