Authors note: I was inspired to write a quick little fic after seeing this gifset: post/56438304840/maura-yoga-4x05-anon-request.
I haven't really written much fanfiction but felt the urge to write this one. I hope you enjoy it :)

Maura felt like crap. There was no other way to put it. She hated to use crass words but today was kicking her in the behind. At just over 13 weeks pregnant the morning sickness had hit her hard. It was a small reprieve that her stomach was okay during the early hours of the day but by mid-afternoon all she wanted to do was curl up in a ball and wallow in her self-pity. Thankfully she'd discovered that yoga seemed to ease the nausea slightly when it was at its height.
Maura had her head resting on the mat when her wife entered their yoga room upon returning home from work, already knowing that this is where she would find the honey blonde. Unfortunately, twisting her head to the side to watch Jane step out of her heels caused another wave of nausea to roll across the doctor. Once again focusing on her breathing, she sensed when Jane had dropped down to kneel on the padded floor beside her.
"Another rough afternoon huh?" the detective murmured as Maura eased herself into an upright position.
"Yeah" she breathed out before taking a swig of her water.
"You didn't get to witness Frost and Korsak jaws drop as they saw me enter in a skirt today"
A small smile emerged on Maura's face as she pictured this in her mind.
"They'll drop even further when we tell them our news on Sunday" she replied.
This produced a similar smile from Jane as Maura continued to stretch, feeling like the worst of the nausea had finally passed for the afternoon.
"I love you" Jane whispered, leaning over to kiss her wife's soft cheek.
"Love you too" Maura answered without hesitation. Although this pregnancy was currently making her afternoons unpleasant, she wouldn't change it for anything.
