Somewhere

Okay, because I can't wait until Monday or Tuesday, here's the next part!

It was close to about four thirty in the morning when Cristina and JD finally made it up to the waiting room.

They found everyone, but Maura asleep. She looked as if she had been crying as her red eyes shone brighter than the dark circles under her eyes. She looked up before shakily standing and walking over to them.

"We had a fight earlier as she tried to come out of bypass by herself. We lost her for about eight minutes before getting her back. We've got her in a room right now on a vent to give her lungs a break.  She has a long road to recovery, but she'll be okay." Cristina took Maura's hands into her own.

Maura let out a sob, causing everyone to wake up. They rushed over to Maura, asking a million questions.

"Alright! Alright! HEY!" JD yells, causing everyone to quiet down, "She's alive. She's gonna be okay."

"We have her in a brand new wing that opened not even a week ago. It's like the CCICU, but there is an intern or a nurse that stays in the room and doesn't leave unless it's to use the restroom or a shift change. She'll be heavily monitored, but she's alive." Cristina said.

"Where's Doctor Shepherd?" Angela asked. "She's up there right now checking for any brain swelling before going to sleep." JD yawns.

"We'll take all of you right now." Cristina tries to fight the yawn that was on coming.

The group went up to the fourth floor and down the hall to Jane's new room.

Maura was taken aback by how peaceful it was there. The room was large and warm. An instrumental of "Somewhere" from West Side Story began to play as the room wasn't too bright, but not too dark.

Maura collapsed in the chair next to Jane as Amelia finished adjusting the bandages around Jane's head.

She gave a smile to Maura before excusing herself.

"I think we should give your mothers some privacy." Angela told the children. "No, it's okay. They can stay." Maura yawned.

"It's okay Mom," Abree squeezed her Ma's foot, "We'll come back in a little bit. Right guys?" The triplets nodded.

"Okay, come give me a hug then go get some more sleep." Maura said.

"Make sure you get some rest too Mom." Brady hugged her. "I will, baby." Maura smiled.

Once they left the room, Cristina checked on Jane's heart and JD gave the nurse the last chart from the end of the surgery.

"Goodnight Doctor Rizzoli-Isles." JD yawns before heading off to an on-call room.

"Anything happens, and Rosie over there will call us and we'll be here as soon as possible." Cristina smiles, "And get some sleep before I admit you myself."

"I will. Go get some rest, you deserve it. Thank you so much." Maura wiped a tear from her eye. "You're welcome. Good night." "Good night."

Maura turned back to Jane. Jane was nearly skin and bones as Maura could see her ribs move from the force of the ventilator helped her breathe. "Oh Jane." Maura whispered as tears began to build again.

She closed her eyes as the music played. "We danced to this song years ago at our wedding. You were so hell bent on it since it reminded you of the time we watched this film together. You told me that when you've got love in your heart, and someone you care for by your side, anything is possible. I still believe that."

She began to cry as she remembered that dance ad how Jane had softly song in her ear:

"There's a place for us
A time and placе for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway therе
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow
Some day
Somewhere..."
