"Do you really not see me as maternal?" Maura asked her.
"No, I don't," Jane told her.
"Do you think I'd make a bad mother?" Maura asked eyes watering slightly.
Jane's eyes widened realizing how what she said must have sounded to Maura. "God don't cry, Maur. Of couse you would make a wonderful mother. Any child would be lucky to have you as a mother. I just meant I never pictured you with a baby, I didn't mean to imply you would make a bad mother."
Maura smiled at Jane's words. "I've been thinking about it since the beginning of this case."
"Of what being a mother?" Jane said unlocking the door and opening the door for Maura and closing it for her before making her way to her side.
"Yes, and I've decided that I'm going to have a baby," Maura said.
Jane nodded before realizing what Maura had actually said then her eyes went wide. "Wait what?"
"I'm going to have a baby," Maura repeated.
"You can't just decide something like that Maura!" Jane told her.
"I didn't just decide. I have deliberated and considered the pros and cons and have come to the conclusion that having a baby would be a satifactory decision."
"So what you are going to find some random guy to come and knock you up so you guys can be a big happy family."
"Well no. I was considering doing it alone. I'm more than finacially stable and considering my luck with relationships as of late I don't know if I will find that person who can handle -my quirkiness enough for me to consider having children with them. Plus the higher in age a women is when giving birth the more risk the is for the baby and the mother."
"Maura, you are only thirty."
"The risk of a miscarriage after the age of 29 is one in three-hundred and eighty-five and the risk of down-syndrome is one in one hundred and seventy-five and the risks only get higher as I get older."
"So you want to do it alone. What about your job?"
"I don't needs my job and plus if I do want to work plus your mother told me she can keep the baby if I need her to."
"You told ma before me!"
"No I wouldn't discuss something that personal with your mother before consulting you. At the yard sale before I took her to the hospital we were talking about babies and I mentioned wanting to be a mother someday and she said that she was great with babies and would be more than willing to help with it. Plus seeing as I am considering becoming a single parent I will need all the help I can get considering the absence of a father figure. Statically a child does better in a single parent home when surrounded by a huge support system," Maura said giving Jane a pointed look.
Jane rolled her eyes, "Fine, Maur, if this is what you really want and you have really thought this over then you have my full support. Whatever you need I'm here."
"Do you really mean that?"
"Of course you're my best friend."
"Good because I have an appointment with a fertility specialist tomorrow and i want you to come with me."
