Trouble Waters

54

I got home early from work and figure to surprise Maur for dinner with a candle light dinner.  I know yesterday session wasn't easy for her. She still is functioning but Jefferson Warren is still bothering her.

J what is this? Dinner. I know that but candles.  I wanted you to know that I love you and that romance is not done in our relationship.  I know you needing this too. Thanks J. I love that I don't always have to be the romantic one.  J what can we do for Yilena your buddy.  There really is nothing we can do but be there like everyone has been there for me. I am am Frankie is okay now knowing it's Yilena.  Yes, she has already stirring the forces upstairs which is way over do. The temporary sheriff was horrible. I think I am going to get along well with her. Babe I love you care about others but tonight is about us. Sorry.
J pulled out my chair and poured me a glass of merlot with the lobster tails she made with cheesy biscuits, asparagus and Jasmine rice for dinner.  J you went all out. Yup and I made everything to myself. Wow, your skills are on it tonight.  Well eat up babe. Okay.
We ate and enjoyed the conversation.
Babe no messes on my top. Dang it spoke too soon.
It's okay J take it off and I will put some spray and wash on it it wash it by hand than we can drop it off tomorrow at the cleaners. Besides you being in only your bra at the table is a dessert to me. Oh doc.
I removed my top and Maur worked on getting the stain out and it worked.  She than hung it up in the laundry room so it wouldn't get funky before we dropped it off.
My wife and I enjoyed our dinner and as always I always enjoyed looking at J with clothes on or off. 

Babe am I going to be your dessert? Why do you ask that? The way you are looking at me now.
Maur starts to laugh.
J I wish I could but my menses started while I was at work. Don't worry I will get you another day for this dinner.  I know that.  We can cuddle babe. You know I am happy with that.  As long g as we are in the same bed, I am happy.  Thanks sweetie.  I will help you clean up. Nope you sit down to relax or go to your office to do some work.  Yeah. I do need to work on my therapy assignment. Okay you go do that then. 
Maur left and I went and did the dishes just dressed as I am.  I made her a banana split with fudge, since I know she craves chocolate. 
Babe here is a snack.  Just call me when your done. Oh this is hitting the spot love.
I leave to finish up and work on some files.  I ended up nodded off and Maur woke me up.  I logged out of my laptop and changed for bed.  I cuddled with Maur in her pajamas and fell asleep.

Dang I hope this is my last move.  At least they packed and unpacked my stuff except for my kitchen.  I ran the dishwasher and finish eating my dinner and went to bed.

The following morning I was looking forward to seeing my friends I missed so much.   I got up and did my work out, ate, took a shower and got ready for work.
I had a meeting with the department heads this morning which includes Dr. Isles.

I started my car and back out of my garage and close it.

My alarm was set and the house locked up. I arrive a little late because of traffic.  I thought Miami traffic was bad.  I would have to start leaving earlier.
Morning everyone. Sorry still getting use to the traffic here and when it's the best time to leave home. I have all the departments here so we can address more of what the memo I sent out yesterday. I want our sheriff's office to work well within house and with other agencies.  If you are not willing to do that, please resign so I don't have to fire you.  If you need help with some of the employees , please let me know so I can nip it quickly.  Please start from left to right and tell me a little about yourself and what department you oversee and what your goals for your department.

This took close to 2 1/2 hours to do. I told them a little about myself and my goals for the sheriff.  I thanked everyone for coming and I would make my rounds to meet people in their departments. I started with Dr. Isles department.
I am getting off elevator and hear a raising her voice at Dr. Isles.  I walk quicker and see baby girl and another lady.
Dr. Isles may I use your office for a few minutes? Yes Dr. Rizzoli.  Thank you.  Your a doctor Avery? Let's go in here so we can talk.

Dr. Isles are you okay? Yes. Who was with baby girl? One of her new associates at the firm but not sure for how much longer. Wow. Baby girl looks all grown up in business attire.  Yes she does.  I wanted to meet your team but will wait until I find out what Avery is going to do.

Jessica we don't speak to people we work with in that manner. What does it matter? Why would you say such? She is a lesbian.  Yes she is a fine educated one at that. Jessica when you applied for a job with my aunt and I did you bother to look into anything about us? No. I just knew you were both a reputable law firm.  Yes we are.  She is a lesbjan and I won't tolerate being around such. I am sorry to hear that.  Please give me your keys and identification pass card. My aunt who is Dr. Isles girlfriend and my aunt. Parker the lady who waved to yesterday is my wife. I didn't know Avery. You do now. Please don't fire me.  Sorry your check will be waiting for you in the lobby along with your personal belongings.

Jessica handed me the items I requested.  She exited the office upset.  She told me she still feels the same way. Jessica took the stairs because the elevator was taking too long.
Maura and Yilena enters the office while I am on my cell.

Please have our associate Jessica belongings brought to the downstairs lobby and have human resources ready with her pink slip and check. She is not to be allowed to be on the premises anymore. Please inform my aunt of such and I will fill her in later.

So you fired her baby girl? Yes. She had no clue you were aunties girlfriend nor Parker was my wife. She doesn't like lesbians and cannot stand to be around lesbians. I didn't like how she spoke to you to start off when when realized you were a lesbian.  How did she know, I am not sure.  Dang she was a good attorney too.  Baby girl you did the right thing. I know Yilena.  Now give me my hug. Of course. Yilena.   Maura you know why I came instead of my aunt.  Yes. I have the information for you once you give me me legal court signed documents. Here they are. Yilena I wish I could stay and talk more but Jessica took up too much of my time.  It's okay I  will see you and your wife later.  A wife baby girl. Yes. We can discuss it later or better yet Maura can update you. 
Gotta go to court.  Thanks Maura.  See you two later this evening.

I am glad baby girl got rid of her. We don't need to be hassled while we do out jobs.  I totally agree with you Maura.  So who is this Parker gal besides her wife.
Let me introduce you to the team first then we can go get lunch and I will update you. Sounds perfect.

Everyone this is our new sheriff. Yilena Salas.  Sheriff this is Kenny and Christina our lab technicians.  Dr. Pike who also does the autopsies. We have two more lab technicians. One is on their honeymoon and and other is out sick with the flu.  It was nice meeting you all. My door is always open.  Thank you. It's refreshing to hear that.  I am what you see Christina.  Good to know.
Dr. Isles lunch. Yes.

Yilena and I took the stairs the elevator was taking too long.

Parker is a professor at the Sacramento state as an English literature professor.  She use to date Jane until Jane and I hooked up. Okay. You get along with her? Yes, we got closer after they got married. Your aware she shot Angela? Yes. We don't bring that up to her anymore.  She still is struggling with it. I can only imagine. She had no choice Yilena.  It was either myself or Kiki who was going to get shot by Angela.  Wow. Sorry for you all.You know about us having anthrax.  Baby girl called me when she returned from a conference and came back vomiting and with a temperature. I went there and when she puked again I smelled it.  I called all immediately before I passed out. Avery had it to for being exposed by Parker.  Parker had it the worst. Maura I am sorry to hear  that it was your ex. Yeah. I am still struggling with it.
Yilena in regards to death.  I am sorry to hear about your mother and brother.  If at anytime you need to talk at work or at our home or anything els,call come by or text.  Thank you.  Did Frankie tell everyone? Yes. Good than I don't have to tell them.

We ate our food and discussed the golf courses,  good fishing spots and Jane's cabin in Tahoe.  We finished lunch and Yilena left back to the precinct while I was called out to a homicide scene.
