Saving You.

Saving You; Chapter 7.

Time passed quickly and it had already been a year that Jane and Maura decided to become an item and Jane to move in with Maura.

Jane arrived home at Maura's at 4:40pm. She climbed out of her truck to see Maura's car parked on the drive in front of hers. Jane locked her truck then unlocked the front door with the key Maura gave her when she first moved in.

"Hey beautiful" Jane smiled as she looked at Maura sitting quietly on the sofa.

"Hey stranger" Maura replied with no expression.

"You okay?" Jane asked concerned as she kicked the door shut behind her and dropped her bag by the door then walking over to sit with Maura.

"I got a call..." Maura said as Jane sat next to her.

"Okay? Don't you usually get calls?" Jane smiled as she put an arm around the back of Maura.

"It...It was my mother." Maura replied as she turned her head to look into Jane's dark eyes.

Jane's smile faded as she met Maura's eyes. Jane moved closer to Maura and wrapped her arms around her waist pulling her body closer.

"What did she say?" Jane asked kissing Maura on the forehead as Maura turned to face her.

"My father...He's...He's ill" Maura said trying to swallow the lump in her throat.

"Oh Maur, Babe I'm sorry" Jane said sadly.

"I need to fly out to them. I need to be there Jane." Maura said whipping a tear that escaped her eye.

"Okay..Ill go with you" Jane suggested.

"No, Jane you need to stay and finish school" Maura demanded.

"Maur im not letting you go alone? You need me there with you" Jane said.

"Jane. Will you please just stay? I need someone to take care of the house and Bass." Maura said sadly as she cupped Jane's face in her soft hand.

Jane closed her eyes to embrace the touch of her girlfriend then opened them to look at Maura.

"Okay.." Jane murmured.

"I fly out tonight..At 10pm" Maura said as she looked away from Jane.

"What?! I don't even get to sleep with you before you go?" Jane teased.

Maura let out a slight smile then cuddled into Jane's chest closing her eyes.

"He will be okay Maura. If he is anything like you..He will be strong." Jane said as she squeezed Maura in tightly when she felt her sob against her chest.

"And if he's not?" Maura sobbed quietly gripping tightly to Jane's forearm.

"Don't think like that babe. Come on lets go pack your stuff.." Jane said reassuringly and she lifted herself up still wrapped around Maura.

Jane stood up and held Maura's hand pulling her to her feet. Before walking to the bedroom Jane picked up both of Maura's hands and locked their fingers together then kissed Maura's knuckles and pulled her in for a hug.

"You want me to walk you in and stay with you until your flight is called?" Jane asked Maura sitting in the driver's seat of her black truck.

"No..Go home Jane get some sleep. You've dine more than enough" Maura smiled sadly from across the seats.

"You will call me?" Jane asked.

"Everyday" Maura replied and she leaned over to place a long passionate kiss on Jane's lips.

"Im gonna miss you baby" Jane said.

"I will miss you too." Maura replied.

"If you need me call me and ill fly right out to you okay" Jane said as she looked into Maura's sad eyes.

"Thankyou" Maura replied as she squeezed Jane's hand.

Jane could see the tears filling up in Maura's eyes and lifted her cheek up with her spare hand.

"Hey...If you need me.." Jane said.

"Ill call you..I promise" Maura replied looking up.

"Okay. I love you" Jane said cutely.

"I love you too" Maura sighed before she let out a few tears then hugged Jane and got out the truck dragging her suitcase with her.

Jane wound down her window as Maura walked towards the airport doors.

"Call me!" Jane yelled.

"Bye" Maura shouted back as she turned to look at Jane.

"I love you" Maura lip spoke to Jane.

"I love you too" Jane said back then waited until Maura had vanished inside before pulling away.
