Work Text:
Jane crept downstairs, eyes and gun sweeping the area for an intruder. She saw movement in the kitchen and silently made her way there.
"Boston PD! Hands up!" Jane barked.
The intruder turned
"Jane?"
"Ma?"
"Ma, what are you doing here at 1 in the morning?"
"I couldn't sleep and thought I'd come over and get something to eat. I could ask you the same thing."
Jane panicked "Ah...Maura and I were...ah...working on a case. It got late so I am staying over."
"Mmhmm"
"Mmhmm? What do you mean 'Mmhmm'?"
"Janie, do something with that gun!"
Jane had lowered that gun when she realized the intruder was her mother, but was still holding it.
"I've seen the way you two look at each other. I'm not stupid, you know."
"I know, Ma. How long?"
"Have I known?" Jane nodded "For a few months. Seeing you at work together and seeing how you are here...I just knew."
"You're not freaked out?"
She looked behind Jane as Maura entered the room and smiled.
"No. She's good for you, and you're good for her."
