Hey, guys. As I said, I can't stop writing about Liz and Adam. This is the sequel of You'll Never Walk Alone, and I hope you'll like it. It might start slow, but I have a idea where to go with this. I hope you'll join me.
T73.

Liz Rizzoli-Isles is sitting at the kitchen island of her parents and is blinking a couple of times as she is looking down at the plate in front of her with indefinably food on it.
Jane is rolling her eyes now and places an hand on her hip. She isn't sure why her daughter is suddenly acting like this and sighs. "Don't be so coy. Eat."
The younger woman swallows hard and smiles wryly, pointing at the meal. "What exactly is … this?"
Jane's eyebrows shoot up and the older woman is pursing her lips. She has asked herself the same question as soon as she lifted the lid from the container and she is sure that her wife could name every single content in there.
She narrows her eyes and smiles innocently. "Yummy stuff that is good for your pregnancy."
Liz is nodding skeptically and tilts her head to the side. "Uh-huh, do you wanna join me for lunch?"
Jane turns to the fridge so her daughter can't see that she is gagging and opens the door of the device. "Um, I'm good, thank you." She says and smiles as she hears the scoff of the younger woman. "And I am not pregnant."
She is surprised that she is handling the fact that her only daughter is pregnant for three months now and that Maura and she are trying as good as they can.
Liz is shoving the contents with her fork from one side to the other. She wrinkles her nose and shudders. "Can't we just order a pizza?"
"God, yes." Jane sighs relieved and the two women starts to laugh heartily. She looks long at Liz, whose body still haven't changed much, and braces herself on the island. "How are you doing, Liz?"
Liz is getting her phone in her hand and wiggles her eyebrows. "Still as good as thirty minutes ago."
The older woman is rolling her eyes once again and smiles softly. "No, I mean how are you really doing? Adam has told me that you are more working more at your desk then in the field. I know that something like that always drove me crazy and then I drove others crazy."
Liz is chuckling amused and nods approvingly. "I know." She says and looks up with a smile. "Somehow, I am okay with it. I mean, it is for the good of my unborn child, but at some days I really do miss being out on the streets."
"I never hear you complaining about it."
"I swallow down my pride, and it's not like I am just sitting around now. I still go to crime scenes, Ma. The only thing I don't do anymore is chasing the bad guys, literally."
Jane is about to say something, but then she stops herself. She furls her eyebrows and tilts her head to the side. "So Adam is running after them all alone?"
"He and Leslie." Liz answers with a grin.
The older woman raises her eyebrows and smirks. "Oh."
Liz wiggles her eyebrows again and turns her head as soon as the front door opens. She smiles broadly as she looks at her husband, but then she furls her brows when he rolls his eyes. She can see that he is tired of going on errands with Maura and is glad that she has turned the idea of her Mom down. Thank you, pregnancy, she thinks to herself.
"I think I am broke." He says and gives his wife a peck.
Jane snorts amused and her eyes are landing on her own wife, wo is entering the house now. "No matter how old you get, some things will never chance."
Maura sticks her tongue out and laughs with her wife.
Adam is flopping down on the chair next to Liz and makes a disgusted face as he spots the meal. "What is that?"
Liz only shakes her head and heaves a sigh when Jane takes the plate finally away. "What did you got today?"
"Gray hair," he simply answers and Maura swats his arm huffing. He chuckles and takes a deep breath. "The rest of the interior fittings for the nursery."
Liz is nodding slowly and smirks at Maura who is shrugging. "I hope you bought neutral stuff."
"I did," he answers and is thanking Jane as she hands him a can of soda.
Maura is eyeing Liz and her husband and furls her eyebrows. "You don't wanna know the gender of your child?"
The younger brunette is hesitating for a moment and shrugs. "Not now, no. You know, I am glad that the first trimester is over with any complications. I don't care if the baby is a boy or a girl."
Jane nods slowly and looks at Adam who is unusually quiet. "And what about you, Adam? Do you wanna know the gender of your child?"
Adam knows that she is asking him because she is thinking that he doesn't have the same opinion like Liz. "I don't care if we are going to have a boy or a girl, all that matters to me is that our baby is healthy."
"Okay, then." Jane says and nods once again. She ducks her head as someone is ringing the doorbell and sees how her wife is rolling her eyes. "That has to be the pizza."
"Jane." Maura groans but smiles in the same time.
"You have ordered the pizza, haven't you?" Adam whispers into Liz' ear and he can tell that he has been right with his suspicion as he sees the smirk on her lips.
Liz isn't smirking because he is right, though. She is smirking because a chill ran down her spin as soon as he has whispered in her ear. It's something that didn't happened side a couple of weeks and she places an hand on his thigh.
He is looking down at the hand and arches an eyebrow, swallowing hard.
She is playing it cool and thrusts her chin at her mothers. "So, are you staying in Boston for the weekend, or are you going to drive away?"
Jane is getting skeptically and looks briefly at her wife, who has the same expression than her. "We are staying in town for the weekend. Why are you asking?"
The young woman purses her lips and shrugs. "No real reason."
Maura presses her lips together to hide her amused smile. She knows exactly what is going on in the body of her daughter and she knows exactly why Liz is asking that question.
Jane is scrutinizing Liz and points at her warningly as she is carrying the pizza to the kitchen island. "The two of you are not going to have sex in every single room of this house."
Liz is shrugging again and opens the lid of the box. "That's fine by my, because I have been planning on having sex in every single room of our own."
Unfortunately, Adam is sipping his soda in the same time and he is spitting it all across the room.
Jane makes a face and drops her chin to her chest. "Why do you have to put that picture in my head, kid?"
Adam sees the warningly look of Maura and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. "I … I am gonna mop that up." He stutters and gets up from his chair.
Liz is laughing amused and wiggles her brows as she holds her Ma's glare. Then she gets a slice of pizza out of the box and takes a healthy bite from it.
Jane sighs dramatically and Maura is laughing heartily.

Adam is carrying the last bags of the shopping spree with Maura into their detached house in Chestnut Hill in which they had moved in a month ago. He knows that Maura must have pulled a few strings and he doesn't mind it a lot. He has learned that it is in vain to take issue with Maura or Liz when they set their minds on some things. He now knows what Jane has meant as she said that she is knowing how he is feeling sometimes. Liz and Maura do have a certain standard of living that they are not willed to give up, but he knew that already when he married Liz.
Liz is following him into the soon to be nursery and is leaning against the door frame while her eyes are wandering around in the area needing improvement.
Adam turns around and frowns. "I am going to start soon."
Liz is smiling broadly at him and reaches out. "We still have time, Adam."
He pulls her against his body and smirks as she starts to giggle surprised. "I know, and you are going to say it the next couple of months, but I like to get things done before our little one is born."
She is looking deep into his eyes and shakes her head. "I don't know why I deserve you."
He places his hands on her hips and pulls her even closer. "Well, you love me."
"That's all it needs?"
"I'm a simple man."
"Yes, you are." She chuckles and wraps her arms around his, but then she turns serious again.
He is holding her gaze and sways them slightly. "What?"
Liz is taking a deep breath and decides to tell him about the things she has been afraid the last few months and what she has been expecting. "I thought that you would freak out after the news about has settled down in your mind. That you-"
"That I would cheat on you like Chaz did after he got to know that he is going to be a dad?" Adam asks as his wife is trailing off. He frowns when she shrugs and shakes his head. "I am thrilled about the fact that we are going to have a baby, Elizabeth. The though of cheating on you have never crossed my mind. I can control my needs."
"That's why you needed forty minutes in the bathroom instead of twenty," Liz asks with a knowingly smile.
Adam scoffs and wiggles his brows. He knows that he doesn't need to feel embarrassed that he take sometimes a extra time in the bathroom and it isn't the first time that she broaches the subject. "That's the better option than to sleep with other women."
"Very true." Liz says and pulls his head down. "Let me take care of you tonight." She whispers and her eyes are dropping to his lips.
He takes a deep breath and clenches his teeth. "Liz -"
"Adam, I want to." She says and furrows her eyebrows.
"Not in here."
"No, in our bedroom. Let's go."

Liz is still not used to the new surroundings and needs a couple of minutes every time she is opening her eyes. She is stretching her arms over her head and isn't surprised that she isn't finding Adam in their bed. Since they have moved in into this house he is up early and unpacks the moving boxes, but she never has heard strange voices in the house like she is doing in this moment. She is sitting up and furls her brows, she decides to get dressed in a pajama bottom and pulls a tank top over her head.
She opens the door and rolls her eyes as soon as she hears the muffled laugh of her cousin Sam and has to smile herself. She walks down the hallway and down the stairs, and the house suddenly becomes quiet.
"Did we wake you?" T.J. is asking from the living room and is holding a book in his hand.
She is smiling and shakes her head. "No. What are you guys are doing here?"
"Arranging your house." Sam answers and is waving with the wooden spoon in his hand.
Liz is looking around and is scoffing. "Well, I can see that."
"I make my special omelet for ya." Sam informs her with a smirk and she chuckles.
"Do you want us to go?" T.J. is asking nervously and frowns.
She shakes her head and takes a deep breath. "No, please stay. Have the two of you seen my husband?"
"He's in the backyard," Tommy answers and nods at the glass door. "He mumbled something about installing a swing."
Liz is nodding once and makes her way out of the glass door. She smiles broadly as she watches Adam struggling with the already mentioned swing. She wraps her arms around her middle and chuckles as he looks at her. "Do you need a helping hand?"
He frowns and shakes his hand. "No. I told the boys to keep their voice down."
"It's my time to get up, Adam. Did you ask them to come by?"
"Nope, they showed up shortly after I came back from my run."
Liz is rolling her eyes and her eyes are never leaving his as he comes up to her. "Welcome to my family."
Adam places his hands on her hips and pulls her closer. "Don't worry, I knew that you have a strong bond with your family when I married you. It's not scaring me away."
Liz opens her mouth to reply something.
"Liz, your omelet is waiting for you." Sam calls out.
"You phone is buzzing non-stop, Adam." T.J. is calling out as well.
Adam takes a deep breath and shrugs. "I guess you are going to have breakfast to go."
She is pursing her lips and nods before she starts to walk.
