Before you read this fic I just want to say this is the first time I have actually written a Rizzles fic and I sort of have an idea of where this story is going to go but at the moment I'm still a little unsure. I'm trying to make it as close to who they are without taking away from it too much. BUT THERE IS NO CASEY (there may be mention of him but he won't be present) thank you for giving this story a go!
ENJOY!
Bolting upright in my bed I clenched my stomach before rushing to my bathroom, I hardly ever got sick so this really stunned me. Possibilities ran through my head from the common flu to more serious viruses and diseases, the possibility that didn't register was one that turned out to be one that should have been the first thing I thought of. Jane knocked on my door at 0700 for our morning run and when she saw me still in my dressing gown and nightie she cursed, I felt my face crumple and tears threaten to fall
"Oh jeez Maura, I didn't mean to make you cry" she said helping me into the lounge and handing me a tissue once I was on the couch
"Are you alright?" she asked concern evident in her features and voice
"I don't think so" I said and she tilted her head as if questioning me or trying to figure out if I would actually answer
"What do you mean?" she questioned when I didn't give her a theory
"I think I might have a cold or something" I answered hesitantly and she shook her head
"No you don't, you think that its something more" she paused and then gasped
"You don't think your pregnant do you?" she asked and I sat rooted to the spot in shock, it hadn't crossed my mind that I could be pregnant I mean the last time I actually was involved with someone was over a year ago and that wasn't a likely scenario but then I remembered something that happened over ten weeks ago where I woke up in a completely unfamiliar room with a completely unfamiliar man lying naked next to me
"It is a possibility" I whispered and Jane's jaw dropped, it would've been hilarious if I wasn't so shocked
"How can it be a possibility Maura? You either know or you don't" she said and I sighed
"Not that simple" I said and she looked at me
"Come on Maura" she said and I frowned
"Ten weeks ago we went out and celebrated our case remember?" I asked and she nodded
"Of course, we'd just solved a triple homicide and caught a serial rapist" Jane answered and I nodded
"Right well do you remember that when you left I didn't follow, you said you needed to go home and sleep" I said and she nodded remembering so I continued
"I remember meeting someone, I have no idea who he is or what he looks like now but he took me back to his apartment and the next thing I remember is waking in his bed the next morning Jane" I explained and she nodded her head slowly
"Right well I guess a paternity test is out of the question then, can you remember anything from that night?" Jane asked and I shook my head
"Nothing really after you left, I just remember waking up naked in an unfamiliar bed with a stranger next to me" I said and she nodded
"Ok Maura, its going to be alright. I'll look after you I promise" she said and I nodded my head biting back the sob that threatened to escape.
After my confession Jane sat with me for a couple of minutes before she offered to cook breakfast, insisting that I take that time to go upstairs, shower and change. So I did, when I was getting dressed into one of my dresses for the day ahead I stood in front of my full length mirror, my hand over my torso, I turned side on and saw a slight bump, one that wasn't there a couple of weeks ago. I smiled rubbing my hand up and down my stomach, before I heard my name being called from the kitchen. I rushed downstairs and into the kitchen where I saw Angela sitting at the breakfast bar conversing with Jane and I smiled, this was a sight I could get used to seeing
"Morning Angela" I said and she turned toward me a smile on her face
"Good morning Maura, how are you feeling this morning?" she asked and I looked at Jane who was shaking her head and making a motion across her throat. I frowned and said
"I'm not feeling very well I think I might go to the doctors and find out what is wrong" I said and she nodded, the smile on her face seemed to have lost some of its spark.
"I'm sure its nothing Angela, just a little tummy bug or something but I need to be sure" I tried to reassure her and she nodded her head
"Well if you need me to I can stay at home and watch over you" she offered and I smiled
"That's very kind of you Angela, but I honestly can't ask that of you, you have work and its your busiest day. I'm sure Stanley won't be to happy if you don't show up" I said and she nodded
"Your right Maura, but if you need anything don't hesitate to call" she said getting up and heading toward the door, grabbing her purse
"Goodbye girls, have a good day" she called before she closed the door behind her.
Jane put a plate down in front of me, covered in streaky bacon and scrambled eggs, I smiled
"Thank you Jane" I said sitting in the bar stool and she turned from where she was standing piling her plate with bacon and eggs a huge smile on her face
"Your welcome Maura" she said before making her way around the table to sit next to me.
"You know if you want me to go to the doctors with you, I'll go" Jane said and I looked at her a smile on my face, and I grabbed her hand in mine
"You don't have to" I said and she frowned before shaking her head and tried to hide the hurt that I had caused
"Jane I'm sorry that was harsh, I was just meaning that you don't have to run around after me, I can't have you doing that. Especially since Cavanaugh gave you the day off" I said and she placed both her hands on my arm, looking me dead in the eye and the most serious look on her face
"Maura when I told you I would look after you I meant that, and if that means starting with taking you to the doctors then so be it. Your my best friend and have been for so long now that I would do anything for you" she said and I smiled feeling the tears threatening to fall again. Jane quickly wrapped her arms around my waist, trying to soothe me.
