A/N: I'm back my lovelies! I have a brand new story for you, although it is a sequel with our favorite ladies from Maura's Confession. I really hope you enjoy this one and as always let me know your thoughts.
Disclaimer: I don't own R&I or the characters, I only borrowed them for fun, no profit is made.
"Lucas, honey, will you please eat your food." I ask my son, desperately trying to get him to eat his macaroni and cheese. This was proving to be a lot harder of a task than I had anticipated though. He outright refused each spoonful I tried to give him, already refusing to eat it on his own like he normally does. Instead he just runs his hands through the mess in front of him and squeezes several noodles between his little hands. Suddenly he takes his handful and throws it off to the side and down on the floor.
He giggles after the food lands on the floor with a splat, causing me to become even more aggravated. "What do you want baby boy? Tell mommy what you want and I'll get it for you." I say in a sweet voice. All Lucas does though is start talking to himself and smear his hands around in the rest of the mac n' cheese on his tray. I sigh in frustration and hang my head. Lucas is only a year and a half and he's already as stubborn as his mama.
Speaking of which, I turn around and spot Jane sitting on the couch, her laptop in her lap and papers strewn about the coffee table. She has a determined look on her face. I hate to disturb her, but I need her help with Lucas.
"Jane, sweetie, can you come here please?" I ask sweetly, and wait for her response, but it never comes. She must be very engrossed in her work. I'm about to ask her again when I feel something hit the back of my head, followed by exuberant giggles. I slowly reach behind me to touch my head and feel gooey wetness. Bringing my hand back I see my fingers covered in yellow sauce with a few noodles added in.
I can't help the frustrated half scream that comes out of my throat or the glare I send my son's way.
"Jane!" I yell, startling little Lucas, who lets out a small wail of fright. "Come get your son!" I yell again before I get up to head over to the sink. I grab a rag and start cleaning the macaroni and cheese out of my hair. Lucas is fully crying now and Jane rushes over to him, taking him in her arms as he cries for his "mama".
"What the hell Maur?!" Jane says to me as she tries to soothe our son.
"He wouldn't eat!" I say as I rinse the rag out in the sink.
"So you start yelling then just leave him in his chair?" she asks, and I can tell she's upset with me.
Lucas has calmed down by now, nestled in Jane's neck as she rubs his back soothingly. I sigh and hang my head, my behavior from earlier causing me to feel guilty. I look up and see sympathy in Jane's eyes.
"Listen, I know this is tough sometimes, there's no doubt he's a Rizzoli, but you gotta be more patient babe. He's just a baby, learning the world around him." She says to me in a tender tone.
A lone tear makes its way down my cheek and falls to the ground. "He doesn't like me Jane. We've done nothing but butt heads since he stopped breast-feeding. He doesn't respond to me like he does to you." I say sadly, multiple tears making their way down my face.
Jane makes her way over to me and wraps me up against her side, kissing my temple. "Oh Maur, of course he loves you, you're his mother." She says and I scoff.
"You wouldn't think that if you saw us together. He looks exactly like you Jane; he even acts just like you. You might as well have carried him for 9 months." I say, unable to help the bitter tone from escaping my mouth.
"Stop Maura, you're being ridiculous. He may look like me but he is your son. He has your beautiful hazel eyes, and your genius mind. Just give it time, pretty soon he'll absolutely adore you and hate me. That's just how kids work." She says the last part with a wink and I can't help but smile slightly.
She pulls me against her tighter and kisses my head again. Lucas suddenly reaches out and lays his small hand on my cheek.
"Mom." He says, and I pull away from Jane slightly to look at him. He grins and reaches out for me so I scoop him into my arms immediately. Once he's situated he hugs himself to me tightly. Jane still has one arm around me, and she gives my waist a squeeze. "See, he loves you." She says with a big smile on her face.
"Mommy's sorry Luke. I love you so much baby boy!" I say as I hold him tight to me. His little hand is patting my back and I can't help but chuckle. He breaks the hug to look at me curiously. I lean in and give him a kiss on the cheek, making him blush and giggle.
"Told you. This little man loves you, he just likes to test you and see how far he can go. You cave way too easily already Maur. I don't even want to know what it's gonna be like when he gets older." Jane says with an incredulous look on her face.
I swat her arm playfully before giving Lucas a kiss and handing him back to her. "I'm going to go clean the mac n' cheese out of my hair, you're on mess and baby duty." I say, turning towards the stairs to head up to our bathroom.
"What? No, Maur, I have work to do. I don't have time to clean up his mess. Frost has tasked me with details on the Hedgemond case and I need all the time I can get." She complains to me. I turn around and shrug at her.
"Jane, I have macaroni in my hair. It needs to come out. You can handle the mess. It won't take that long to clean up. Just set up Elmo for Luke and keep an eye on him while I get clean and changed." With that I turn and head up the stairs to get clean. I hear Jane growl momentarily before speaking to our son.
"Why did you have to mess up mommy's hair? You never mess with her hair dude. That's something you'll learn right quick." I chuckle at Jane's words as I get to the top of the stairs. Shaking my head I make my way to my room and shut the door.

Half an hour later I return to the living room, clean and freshly dressed. Jane is back in her spot on the couch and Lucas is sitting on the couch, giggling and watching Elmo, which is playing on the TV. I walk up behind Jane and wrap my arms around her neck, planting a kiss on her cheek. She jumps at first, but relaxes once she knows it's me.
"Mmm, you smell good." She hums, leaning in and kissing my neck. Instantly I get goose bumps and a shiver runs down my spine. I moan as Jane starts to nip at my neck and suck on my pulse point. I reach to tangle my hands in her hair when I hear a screech. We both pull apart and look over to Lucas who is standing, bouncing on the couch, looking at us with a huge smile on his face. He holds his arms in the air.
"Mom!" he yells at me and I chuckle before heading over to pick him up. "Hello little man. How's my boy doing?" I ask in a baby voice, something I can't help doing with him.
He starts talking in baby gibberish, something I find absolutely adorable, and reaches up to touch my cheek. I smile at him sweetly and go in for a kiss. As I do he whips his arm back before bringing it forward and smacking me right in the nose.
"Oh shit!" I hear Jane say behind me, and she takes Lucas from me right as he's about to hit me again.
"No Luke! You don't hit your mommy." She scolds him. I look over at her, holding my nose, and she gives me an apologetic look. Lucas has tears in his eyes at being reprimanded, and he reaches up to cover his eyes with his hands.
The sight breaks my heart and I reach out to him before realizing that I have blood on my hand. I look down and a drop falls from my nose and hits the floor.
"Shit, Maur, you're bleeding." Jane says as I rush over to the sink, not wanting to ruin my clothes or get more blood on the floor. Seconds later I feel her hand on my shoulder and she hands me a rag, which I put on my nose. I look over and see that Lucas is back on the couch, bouncing and watching his show.
I can't help the tears that fall from my eyes, and it's not because of the pain in my nose. Jane sees this and wipes them away before pulling me to her, wrapping both her arms tightly around me.
"Shh, baby it's okay, I've got you." She whispers in my ear soothingly. She gently rocks me back and forth for a few minutes until I pull away. The bleeding in my nose has stopped and I go to the sink to rinse out the towel. I use a clean part of it to clean my face and am about to go clean the floor when I realize that Jane has already done it.
"You didn't have to do that. It's my blood." I say to her and she shakes her head. "It's my blood too babe. Now stop, it's done." She walks up to me and loosely wraps her arms around my waist. She plants a small kiss on my lips before pulling away.
"Now, I want you to go upstairs and relax, do whatever it is that you want. I'll feed junior and make dinner. Once it's done I'll put him to bed and we can have a nice meal together. What do you say?" she asks, and I just want to kiss her deeply. She's so good to me.
"You're so amazing. Yes that sounds wonderful." I say before kissing her. She hums at the contact and pulls me to her tighter. I rest my check against her chest after the kiss breaks, just relishing in the feel of her.
"Are you sure you don't want help with him? I feel bad that you have to take care of him and dinner. What about your work?" I ask, pulling away to look at her. She brings her hand up and brushes a strand of my hair away from my face.
"I'm sure honey. You go rest and I'll come get you when it's time." She says finally, and kisses me one more time before guiding me towards the stairs. She swats my butt as I go, causing me to squeal playfully. I hear her chuckle as she walks away.
I make my way to the stairs, contemplating what I want to do while I wait. I've already showered so that's not an option. Suddenly I remember my book I haven't had the chance to read in quite awhile so I head over to my bed, curl up under the covers and open my book to start reading.

"Hey." I hear Jane say, startling me as she heads into our room. "Little man is down for the count and dinner is ready." She says with a smile, sitting down on the edge of the bed next to me. I mark my page and close the book before setting it down on my bedside table. Jane helps me up and pulls me into a kiss once I'm standing.
"Thank you for all that. It was very sweet of you." I say, looking into her deep chocolate brown eyes.
"It was my pleasure. I love kissing you." She says playfully, so I swat her softly on the arm. "That's not what I meant, although I do appreciate that as well." I say with a wink and Jane chuckles.
She leans in for another kiss, which I reciprocate willingly and hum in content. It's been awhile since we've been intimate and we're both feeling the effects of that. We used to have sex constantly, but ever since Luke was born we've had to tone it down drastically. On top of that Jane has been very busy at work lately, and its gotten in the way of our love life. Hopefully tonight we can fix that.
Jane breaks the kiss and looks down at me. "We better get down there before your kale salad gets cold." She says, taking my hand and leading me out of the room.
"You made kale salad?" I ask incredulously. Jane never makes healthy food when it's her turn to cook. I scowl at her when she starts to laugh.
"No silly, do you really think I would make that awful stuff? The answer is no, I didn't. I heated up Ma's gnocchi that she brought over this morning."
At the mention of my mother-in-law's famous gnocchi my mouth starts to water. I end up pulling Jane down the stairs and into the kitchen as fast as I can. Jane is chuckling the whole way behind me, but I don't care. She knows I love this particular dish, and I'm sure that's why she cooked it for us.
"Easy there tiger, let's enjoy this meal together. It's not often that we have time like this. Honestly I'm surprised Lucas went down as easily as he did. It's a miracle." She says, pulling my chair out for me.
I sit down and give her a smile as she makes her way around to the other side of the table. She has everything already set out, food on our plates, wine poured in a glass for me and a bottle of beer opened for her. There's a small candle lit in the middle of the table and the lights are dim, giving the room a very romantic feel.
"This is beautiful Jane, thank you. You didn't have to do all this." I say in awe of her efforts.
"I wanted to love. You deserve the best, especially after earlier with Lucas. I'm so sorry about that baby. He really does seem to be getting worse and I don't know why." Her words bring with them a deep sadness. It's true what she's saying though; he has been getting worse with the way he acts towards me.
"I don't know either Jane. All I know is that it's very hard for me. He's my baby, my little boy, and as each day goes on I feel less and less like his mother and more like some random woman trying to get on his mama." I say and Jane starts laughing.
"Why are you laughing at me?" I ask, slightly annoyed with her.
"It's 'get with' not 'get on' Maur, and I don't think that's the case. We haven't made love in what feels like forever."
"That's the problem Jane! I miss having intercourse with you." I whine.
"Ugh, don't call it that, you know I hate when you call it that." She scoffs at me.
"Well that's what it's called Jane." I defend myself.
"Can't you make it sound better, like 'make love', or even 'have sex' would be better. Geez Maur!" I roll my eyes at her before taking a bite of my food. I moan out as the flavors burst on my tongue.
Jane follows my actions and soon I hear her moaning as well. I suddenly find myself becoming very aroused and I start eating my food faster, wanting to be done so I can ravish my wife.
As soon as I finish I take a few sips of my wine and get up to head around the table. Jane seems to have followed my lead, just finishing her last bite as I approach her from behind. I wrap my arms around her shoulders and start sucking on her neck.
Instantly she moans, but this moan is different than the others, it's deeper and carries a different emotion behind it. Jane is very aroused, as am I. It's been way too long for the both of us, so I won't be surprised if this doesn't last long.
Jane grabs my arm and pulls me around to sit on her lap. I move to straddle her and tangle my hands in her raven locks and we kiss with an intense passion.
"Oh god baby, I want you so bad." Jane husks against my lips, causing a shiver to run down my spine. I feel her hands make their way up under my shirt, running over my stomach before coming to rest on my breasts, giving each a firm squeeze. I moan out at the contact.
"I want you too Jane. Take me baby, take me now!" I cry out and Jane literally growls. She just barely gets her hand inside my pants when we hear a loud cry come from upstairs. I sigh in frustration and drop my head to Jane's shoulder. She removes her hand from my pants and I make a sound of protest. However, it's drowned out by Lucas' ever growing cries coming from his room.
I remove myself from Jane's lap and adjust myself back to normal. Jane starts to get up but I rest my hand on her shoulder, stopping her movements.
"I'll get him." I say before making my way to my son. He's standing up in his crib when I enter his room, face red and tears streaming down. He holds his arms out for me as I approach. I scoop him up and he instantly clings to me, burying his face in my neck.
His cries start to die down as I make my way out of his room and down the stairs. When I get to the kitchen Jane already has his Sippy cup with juice ready. I take it from her, mouthing 'thank you', before I turn and head towards the couch. Once I sit down Lucas pokes his head out from my hair and smiles when he sees his juice. "Juice!" He says happily before taking the cup from me and eagerly bringing it to his mouth.
He rests his head against my chest again, one hand holding his Sippy cup, while the other tangles in my hair, something he's loved to do since he was born. I start to rub his back soothingly and Jane comes to sit down next to us. She wraps her arm around me and kisses my head before gently rubbing Lucas' head. He's fast asleep now, the Sippy cup hanging loosely from his mouth.
Jane reaches over and slowly takes it from him. He stirs when she does but doesn't wake up. Instead he tangles his other hand in my hair and snuggles closer. "You two are so cute. I'm so lucky to have you." Jane says lovingly, and kisses me on the cheek.
"Yes, you are." I respond teasingly, and she pinches my arm. "Owe!" I say, and flinch when I feel Luke stir. Thankfully he doesn't wake.
"Tomorrow, ask your mother if she will watch him please. I want to take you to a resort and ravish you. It's been way too long Mrs. Rizzoli-Isles, and I'm not waiting any longer." Jane's eyes almost bug out of her head when I say this and I chuckle.
She hops off the couch quickly and heads for the phone. She picks it up and dials and I can't help but laugh when I hear "Hey Ma, would you be interested in babysitting tomorrow night?"
Okay there is chapter one. I had a blast writing it, but I want you all to let me know if it's worth continuing. Hit that review button and let me know.
