A/N: First of all, I'm back with Book 5 of the Protege Series. Holy crap, thank you for loving Kris. This took me forever to write because I got sick and I have school but I got it down finally. Second, if you never read 'Protégé', 'Adventures of Kris Marx' or the other 'Protégé Series' then you mostly likely will get lost. This story is filled with family, friendship, Rizzles, drama, hurt/comfort, angst,and of course, FLUFF.

Disclaimer: Obviously, I do not own Rizzoli and Isles. If I did, I would have sent Pike all the way to the janitors a long time ago. However, I do own Kris Marx and the storyline.

In memory of Lee Thompson Young. Thank you for being Frost, crunking the trunk, and also saying that an action figure is not a doll. This first chapter is dedicated to you.

Ch. 1: Surprise

I walked into the house before I turned around to see the family gathered. "Kris," I suddenly noticed Judith approaching me.

I smiled widely at her hugging her tightly. "I didn't expect you here today and don't you have stuff to do for med school," I questioned her immediately.

Judith shook her head, "Nope. I actually got most of my work done and ya know me. I have you to tutor me or I can even have your mom help me. Her letter was very helpful in getting me into med school."

"Speaking of my folks, I better go say hi."

"Yeah, yeah," Judith smiled before giving me a light shove and walking away.

"So what's with the huge gathering," I inquired to Jane and Maura as I approached them. I hugged them and kissed their cheeks before I rested against the counter top in the kitchen. "Is it someone's birthday," I questioned, knowing that only Maura and my birthday had pass so far.

"No, it's no one's birthday," Jane assured me.

"Good, I don't have to worry much." I looked around seeing Frost and Korsak talking with Tommy and Frankie. TJ was running around the house with Nonna watching over him while Judith was chatting with Lydia. It was nice to see everyone here or at least, everyone was here except for one person but I wasn't really in a mood to see him.

I looked back at Jane and Maura as I gestured to the people, "So what is it then?"

"Well, it's a surprise," Maura informed me.

I raised an eyebrow, "You did not tell Nonna correct because somehow the surprises are always spoiled if you tell her." Suddenly I felt a harsh pinch toward my back causing me to jump, "OW!"

"Watch your mouth, Kris Marx," Nonna scolded me. "You maybe eighteen years old but you still act like a child."

"I do not act like a child," I argued back before I frowned slightly. Maura released a small giggle while Jane rolled her eyes; I looked back at them and inquired again, "Come on, what's the surprise? The suspense is killing me."

"You are so nosy. Why don't you go call your boyfriend," Jane retorted back trying to change the subject. I frowned and looked down which caused Jane and Maura to notice immediately. Jane touched my forearm gently and softly asked, "Hey…something up between you two?"

"He's a bit distant. I think it's the college stuff and everything," I answered softly.

Maura kissed my forehead, "Don't worry sweetie. He cares about you." I hope that he still cares. I released a small sigh before I smiled at them then shrugged. Maura hugged me softly then Jane before I heard Maura whisper, "Maybe we should tell them now." Jane nodded in agreement before I pulled back and joined Judith on the sofa.

"Okay guys, Maura and I have an announcement. We talked about this for a while and we also discussed it a bit with Kris who approves this," my eyes widened immediately. My head seemed to go fuzzy and I could hear my heart bounding at my ears immediately. I knew what the announcement was going to be. Jane wrapped her arm around Maura's waist and smiled at her before they announced, "We are having a baby."

I felt my hand gripped onto the sofa while I took in a deep cleansing breath. It was shaky but I was going to take it now because it felt my lungs were tightening. I then heard a loud voice echo in my head as I leaned against the sofa. "How does it feel to be the older sibling at a young adult age, kid," the voice sounded so familiar and as I rested against the sofa while everyone else was approaching my parents to congratulate them.

It was wonderful news, yes! Now, I was going to be the older sibling. I was going to look out for this little life and be a role model to them. Oh shit, that's a lot to take in, my mind immediately told me. I could feel my hands slightly shaking and my breathing getting heavier.

Judith glanced over her shoulder, seeing me resting against the sofa still. "Kris, you okay," she questioned me. I did not answer which caused Maura and Jane to look over at me too. The room was spinning even more and I think I saw Bass have three heads while there were multiple Jo Fridays.

"Kiddo?"

"Kris, sweetheart?"

My knees suddenly buckled while I heard a loud voice shouting, "She's going down!" Then everything just went black.

Kris' POV: Several hours ago…

My name is Kris Marx Rizzoli-Isles or formally known as Kris Gabriel Leo Marx. I am an eighteen years old former protégé. My parents, Detective Jane Rizzoli-Isles and Doctor Maura Rizzoli-Isles, adopted me about two years ago. It's been about a year and a month later since my parents were married and it's been nothing but bliss. Now at the legal age of being an adult, I was preparing for a lot now.

My boyfriend, Aaron as well my best friend, Judith with her boyfriend, Steven were all entering college while I was still working at BPD's Homicide Division. I was considered an important asset of the Homicide team now as the researcher in the group. However, I was not allowed to investigate murders but because I was only two years shy from entering the Academy that I was allowed to be there to observe more. It was like a ride-along that I could do all the time but I was still limited to what I was allowed to do.

Also, another thing that was different was that, Jane and Maura were thinking about having another child. Oh yes, that was a shocker indeed especially from my standpoint. It was something that caught me off guard as much as the time my deceased serial killer father escaped. I didn't show my shock when the conversation popped up a while ago.

Flashback…two months ago…

"Kris," I heard my name being called. I stood up from my desk in my bedroom and exited out of my room to see Jane and Maura both sitting in the kitchen. Maura smiled at me immediately, "Can we talk?"

I nodded, "Of course." I took a seat beside her while Jane sat next to me as I looked at both of them. "So what's up," I questioned them.

"Kiddo, bear with us when we ask you this," Jane told me. I nodded in agreement then I noticed Jane awkwardly look down and gestured toward Maura, "You ask her because I'm not sure how to ask her."

"Will someone just ask me the question?"

Maura rolled her eyes but clasped my hand into hers. She rubbed my scar on my right hand then asked softly, "How would you feel if we had another child?"

An eyebrow went up, "You want another kid?"

"We've thought about it, Kris. I think it would be nice to have another child around but it's only if you are okay with it. Your Ma and I agreed that we wouldn't do it if you are not okay with it."

That was a lot on me and as I looked back from Jane and Maura. I could see that in both of their eyes is that they wanted me to say yes. I could not stop my parents from having another child and yet, they wanted my opinion.

All I did was nod.

My parents didn't go into detail on how the procedure was going to work or when it was going to happened. I noticed when they went to the doctors and I did not ask him about it. The details about this…child were along the lines that it was going to be a Rizzoli child with an anonymous donor. I wasn't sure who might be pregnant but I was still…what's the word? Surprise about it.

That's all I was, just surprised.

R&I

It was an early September morning, I was up at my usual time of eight but there was something different. I looked around the living room as I stepped out from the hallway by the staircase while placing my leather jacket on. I looked over to see that Jane's keys were still here unlike Maura's. It was mostly likely that Maura was doing an early autopsy.

I glanced at my watch before I shouted loudly, "Ma, where are you? Mom is already at work!"

Suddenly I heard the loud sound that was similar to someone barfing their guts out. "Ma," I called out again the barfing sound continued. I followed the sound to my parents' bedroom where I entered and followed the sound to the bathroom. I knocked on the bathroom door, "Detective Jane Rizzoli, we are running a bit behind."

"Go ahead, Kiddo. I'll meet you at…." then the barfing sound came back. I cringed a bit as she gasped saying, "I'll meet you at work."

"You okay?"

"Just some food poisoning."

"We had the same food last night."

"Kris, just go before I decide to send Bass at you."

So demanding as usual and she threatened me with a tortoise, I rolled my eyes. "Okay, I'll see you at work," I walked back down the hallway then down the staircase. I grabbed the keys to my motorcycle before I walked out of the house.

Jane's POV

After puking my guts for another fifteen minutes, I finally arrived at work. I entered the elevator immediately and pressed the down button to the morgue. I leaned against the elevator wall as I rubbed my stomach before the doors opened causing me to straighten up. I walked out, looking around before I approached Maura's office, knocking on the door.

I peered inside to see Maura working hard on her computer. I knocked again and when she heard the knock, she looked up and gave me a beautiful smile. God, that smile still gives me butterflies and we've been married for over a year. I smiled back at her and approached her, kissing her lips softly before I pulled back touching her cheek as she greeted me, "Hello Detective."

"Hey Doc," I greeted back.

"You still have a hint of your toothpaste," she informed me.

I backed away and sat down in one of her weird and uncomfortable chairs. I released a sigh before I mumbled, "I puked like three times this morning." I noticed Maura immediately frowned but I placed my hand up and assured her, "I drank tons of water but I know for a fact that every time I try to eat something, it comes back up."

"I'm sorry, honey."

"It's fine but Kris noticed it and I lied saying that it was food poisoning." I heard a soft laugh causing me to narrow my eyes at her. I crossed my arms over my chest, "It is not funny."

"We are talking about Kris who observes everything."

"Kris does observe everything. She observes so much that I told her that I would send Bass after her," I pointed out. I ran my hand through my hair releasing a loud sigh, "We'll have to tell her soon."

"I already invited everyone for family dinner tonight so she'll know tonight," Maura told me. She stood up, closing both doors and locked them then she went over to her window, shutting the blinds before she walked over to me, straddling my waist. "But right now, I just want to spend sometime with my wife that I happened to not see this morning," she smiled coyly.

I smirked a bit, running my hands along her thighs. I then lifted my hands to her cheeks, gently pulling them as I whispered softly, "Well hello, Doctor Rizzoli-Isles."

R&I

"Frost, as I say before, we do not discuss what takes my Ma forever at the morgue," I heard Kris stated when I stepped off the elevator. I raised an eyebrow before I approached the door then peered in to see Kris sitting at my desk.

Frost eyed Kris with a playful smirk. Kris rolled her eyes while I suddenly heard Korsak say, "She's busy getting-"

"You finish that Korsak, I will come after you," I suddenly stated as I jumped into the room. Kris jumped, falling backwards in the chair landing on her back while Korsak and Frost quickly went back to the work on their computers. I walked in and looked over at Kris who was lying on the ground; I placed my hand out to her with her grabbing it. "You okay," I asked her.

Kris stood up, cracking her back before rubbing it. She smiled an embarrassed smile as she answered, "Peachy."

"That's good."

"Are you okay," she questioned back.

Frost looked up form his computer, "She wasn't okay this morning?" I shook my head while Kris nodded causing him to laugh. "Is it yes or no," he questioned.

Kris quickly covered my mouth while she answered, "It's a 'yes'. Her guts were coming out of her. The poor toilet was a victim of Rizzoli barf."

"Janie, why didn't you call in sick," Korsak questioned.

I tried to open my mouth but Kris immediately answered, "Vince, we are talking about Jane Rizzoli-Isles, the most stubborn woman in the universe." I immediately hit Kris in the back of the head making her flinch immediately; "Ow…" she rubbed the back of the head before she looked at me, "What I am saying is true. You would rather go to work sick as a dog then stay home. You have ants in your pants."

"I do not have ants," I argued back.

"No more like Maura," we both heard Frost mumbled. Kris and I instinctively turned around, glaring at him, which caused him to quickly get up and walk away.

Kris looked over at Korsak who was suddenly busy on his computer. "Vince, do you wish to make a comment also," she inquired to the sergeant detective. He shook his head while Kris let out a small laugh before she heard the sound of her desk phone ringing. She walked over and answered, "Intern Kris Marx."

I took a seat at my desk, feeling my stomach acting bad again. "Aaron, can we talk about this later," I heard Kris exasperated. I turned my chair toward Kris whose back was toward me. Kris had been with her boyfriend for about two years but lately, it seemed I saw less and less of him. I would ask but I learned that Kris would try to handle the problems on her own before she would try to talk to anyone else.

"Yeah, I…I'll talk to you later," she then hung up. She released a sigh and sat down before she looked over at me with a small grin then asked gently, "Now seriously how are you feeling?"

I smiled gently back. I rolled my chair over to her desk, patting her on the back and answered, "I'm fine. My stomach was just being mean." She nodded before looking back at her desk before I steadily asked, "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah," she answered quickly.

I wanted to question Kris but instead I nodded, turning back to my desk to do my work.

R&I

Present time…

"She's going down," Tommy shouted loudly.

Instinctively, I was ready to run over to Kris but instead Frankie caught her. As he supported her body, he asked loudly, "Where do I put her?"

Maura gestured for him to put Kris on the sofa. Frankie carried her to the sofa then laid her down. Maura and I quickly walked over to her while I heard Ma questioned loudly, "Why did Kris faint? Is she okay? Oh my god, Janie do something!"

"MA," I shouted causing her to close her mouth. I looked at everyone taking before I took in a deep breath and stated softly, "Listen guys, thanks for coming but Maura and I need to talk to Kris privately once she wakes up. So thanks for coming and Ma," I looked at her, "please stay at the guest house for now."

"But-"

"Ma, please. I'm the pregnant one with your third grandchild so please…"

"You're pregnant," Frankie questioned loudly.

"Yes."

"You're sure," Tommy questioned also.

I rolled my eyes, "Yes, I'm pregnant. I know huge shocker but guys, please leave so I can see what's up with my kid here."

Ma smiled and jumped up and down in happiness. Everyone began to leave the house, giving Kris quick kisses on the forehead except Judith who gave Kris' hair a quick mess, which Kris hated with a passion.

Maura sat beside Kris while I asked quietly, "Do you think it's from shock?"

"Most people faint from health issues or a psychological reason. We are talking about our daughter who is the healthiest person right now," she replied.

"So it's in her big head?"

"I believe so. Jane, you don't think…"

I shook my head, "She said yes…just let her wake up."

Maura's POV

A couple more minutes later, Kris began to move. She groggily let out a low groan, a sign that she was indeed waking up. She sat up, rubbing her temples tiredly before she asked quietly, "What the fuck happened?"

"You fainted," I answered. Kris looked over at Jane and me before she quickly sat up but groaned in pain. "Kris, take it easy please," I told her.

"I'm sorry, guys. I didn't mean to faint…it was…unexpected."

"Kiddo, what happened," Jane questioned immediately.

"I don't know," Kris answered. She continued to rub her head before she laid back down and looked at both of us. It seemed that she was still collecting things in her head. She was silent for a moment before she asked quietly, "So you guys are pregnant?"

I nodded, "Jane's pregnant. The procedure worked and we plan to see an OB/GYN to talk about the baby."

Kris seemed hesitant as she glanced at Jane. She stared then asked next, "How long?"

"About two months," Jane answered softly.

Kris nodded then sat up again before standing up. She began to walk over to the staircase before she gave a soft smile and stated, "Congrats…This is great!"

I attempted to smile back at Kris but I could see pass the façade. Kris was hiding something but she was trying to convince Jane and me that she was ecstatic. I watched her go up the staircase then I stopped her by asking, "Kris, where are you going?"

"I need to sleep off the major headache I have. I did not plan to faint and I believe you would agree, right Mom," Kris attempted to smile. I gave a small smile back and nodded in agreement with her resuming going up the stairs then disappearing.

I looked over at Jane who had a worried expression again. "I dislike it when she does this," I informed my wife softly.

Jane nodded and kissed my forehead. "I know, love but it's Kris. She processes news differently but she sounds happy," she informed me.

"Yeah she does," I agreed as I glance back at the staircase.

Kris' POV

Too much…in the head.

I rested back in my bed, staring at the ceiling. I glanced over the picture frames on my nightstand picking up the picture of Matthew, running my finger over it. "Am I enough for them because I don't know if I'll be good enough, Matt," I said softly.

I just don't know
