Multiplying
Maura and Jane celebrated their one year wedding anniversary . It was a memorable anniversary night for the couple. Jane had made a reservation at the most popular and expensive Italian restaurant in the city "Dono del Cielo".
Jane and Maura promised one another to not be extravagant with their gifts for each other. Both loving the thought that was put into the gift rather than the price tag on it was what mattered most to them.
Jane was liking the idea , that was until she had to figure out an anniversary gift for Maura . Jane had spent a month going around asking everyone. She even occasionally asked perps for suggestions on what to give Maura. Their lewd pornographic answers were causing her to ram most of their heads into walls. Jane gave up asking because the suggestions were getting more and more lame with every person she asked.
The anniversary night arrives finally . Jane is getting nervous she is still with no present for Maura. Jane had no idea what so ever what to do. Jane hadn't even noticed Maura didn't have a present either. But they both got dressed and headed out to the restaurant.
They pull up in front of restaurant Dono del Cielo. Jane takes her ticket from the valet then jogs over to Maura's side taking her hand in hers.
Maura looks over the outside of the new restaurant and is very impressed "Jane I've never been here before , have you?"
"Yes, well no. I know a waiter here. We went to school together. I met him here for lunch, in the kitchen last week. The food is great , authentic Italian cuisine."
"Oh Italian? Sounds wonderful Jane." Maura points to the sign of the restaurant "Okay now can you tell me what the translation is?"
Jane fake mocks surprise putting her hand on her chest "You mean you the genius doesn't speak Italian?"
Maura laughs then play smacks Jane's arm. "Jane I know a few languages but Italian isn't one of them. Can you translate for me please?"
Jane nods then proudly puffs out her chest a little. She looks up and points to the sign . In her best fake Italian accent she says " Dono del Cielo translates to mean, gift from heaven. That's why I brought you here Maura you are my gift from heaven " Jane lowers her head blushing from getting all romantic in public .
Maura wraps her arms around Jane's neck pulling her down for a kiss. She pulls away and whispers in Jane's ear "I love you more every day."
They walk into the restaurant and are seated. Maura nervously begins rearranging the utensils on the table. She is realizing she hasn't thought of a gift for Jane yet. Jane watching Maura starts fidgeting and rubbing her hands together. She too is worried she will not think of a gift for Maura.
They both look up at each other. Jane smiles with glassy eyes as she looks adoringly at her wife. Jane reaches across the table for Maura's hand. She places it in her hand and starts caressing it .
Maura crooks her head to the side trying to figure out what Jane was doing. "What ? What are you thinking about Jane?"
Jane bends her head down to Maura's hand kissing it. She looks up at Maura smiling "My wife."
Maura still confused half smiles " Yes, I'm your wife and you are mine. Is there something wrong? Are you afraid to tell me something? Jane you're making me nervous"
Jane squeezes her hand chuckling "No, no Sweetie , nothing like that... You've been" Jane puts her hand to her chest to emphasize her point "my ...wife for a year now...me of all people" Jane throws her hand out to Maura "to you...I'm just" She starts tearing up more overcome with emotion. Jane desperately trying to think of something to express her love for Maura. But she still has no gift for her. She hears a baby cry in the back of the restaurant. And for the first time isn't aggravated by the sound. She is struck with the idea for the perfect gift to give Maura.
Maura was getting worried she got up moved her chair beside Jane's . She gently rubs her hand up and down Jane's arm trying to comfort her.
"What is it Jane ? You know you can tell me anything Baby please you're scaring me?"
Jane turns to Maura still choked up and full of raw emotions her voice raspy tries to tell Maura what she wants to give her. "I...we have been happy this year ..right?" Maura nods and smiles moving the stray hair away from Jane's face with her hand. "Good ...okay well I've never been so happy in my entire life...my heart." Jane struggles for a way to explain what she is feeling.
Maura kisses her on the cheek "It's okay take as long as you need to tell me Jane."
"My heart has grown bigger I think." Jane looks at Maura knowing she wants to correct her. "I know , I know Sweetie, it's not physically possible to get bigger."
Maura restrains herself from medically speaking it is possible but knows that's not what Jane is trying to tell her. So she just nods at her.
"It just feels bigger because of all my love for you...I want to give you something that I think you want. I mean we've talked about before but not with me." Maura looking even more confused. Jane says "..um I'm not saying this right." The baby cries again. Jane turns excitedly and points "That Sweetie ,I want to give you that." Jane smiled at Maura thinking she would understand her now.
Maura shook her head trying to understand "You want to give me that woman's baby? Jane I don't think that's legal,besides .."
Jane frustrated but looks at Maura's adoring face looking at her. Jane laughs throws her head back looks at the ceiling. "Maura I want to give you a baby, a child ...you know start the family we've talked about having someday...Well Maura today is someday" Jane looks away from the ceiling and down at Maura.
Maura has tears rolling down her cheeks finally understanding. "But Jane … you said you didn't want to carry our child. I thought I was going to carry our child for us."
Jane holds Maura's hands in hers "Sweetie you can have a baby too if you want ."
Tears still falling "After you have a baby, I can try and have one?" Maura looking up sadly at Jane.
Jane smiles wiping the tears off Maura's face. "Maura you can... Hell we both can try to get pregnant together if you want?"
Maura started smiling through her tears "Really Jane ? Oh really? Yes I've always dreamed of doing that with you. ...but you said you didn't want to carry a child. What has changed your mind ?"
Jane kisses Maura then jokes and hands her a cloth napkin . "Here blow your nose ."
Maura takes it and wipes her nose as ladylike as possible. She hits Jane's arm "I'm not going to blow my nose in here . Tell me ? What changed your mind about carrying a baby?"
Jane looks around seeing some people staring at them . "I'll tell you when we get home. We got an audience in here."
Maura looks around seeing half the restaurant watching them "Oh okay, let's go now."
"Maura we haven't had dinner yet?"
"Do they deliver?" Maura jokes and then laughs at her own joke.
Jane chuckles "You think your joking but I know people . I can get it delivered. Wait here a minute."
"Jane wait order some leafy greens ..oh and strawberries, British ones if they have them for Bass and Clemmy (Bass's tortoise girlfriend). For Jo Friday find something special too."
Jane stands up smirking says "The things I do for my wife." She walks to the kitchen to order their food to be delivered by Jane's school friend.
They drove home in silence smiling lost in thought. Once home they walk in and see the house is a mess. Things are knocked over and turned over on the floor. Jane thinking that they've had a break in and pulls out her cell phone. As she's about to call it in she sees Bass out of the corner of her eye.
Anger building Jane yells at him "Dammit Bass! You scared the hell out of us. Where is your girlfriend?"
Maura goes over to Bass who is now cowering in the corner. "Oh Bass what have you done? Are you alright honey?" Maura pets Bass's shell.
Jane shakes her head at Maura "Is this how you're going to be with our kids. Just let them to do what they like?" Jane picks up her thong that Bass had drug out from their bedroom. "See he is still a pervert."
Maura smiles at Bass "Honey you know Jane doesn't like that. I gave you an old pair of Jane's boy shorts . Didn't you like them?"
Jane flash backed on all the times Bass had stolen her clothes. "Maura your turtle is still a pervert . Please don't encourage him by giving him my underwear. I think we need to get a new girlfriend for him. Clemmy ain't cutting it. And I don't want him going back to humping me and everything I own again."
Maura smiling walks over to Jane wraps her in her arms. "Tortoise not turtle and Baby we aren't replacing Clemmy. Bass loves her . I love her and I know you do too."
"Well why did the..." Jane struggles to say it right "tortoise ...tear up our house?"
Maura laughs "Hmm I don't know maybe Clemmy and Bass are fighting again. Let's go check on her okay?"
Jane shakes her thong in front of Bass's face as they walk by him "These are mine. Leave them alone perv."
Bass follows behind Maura as they walk to the new tortoise pen they had built for them.
Jane leans over the fence looking for Clemmy. She spots her as dirt is flying out of a new hole that Clemmy is digging.
"Clemmy come here girl. What are you doing? Bass already dug you guys a nice big hole over on the other side of the pen."
Clemmy ignores Jane and keeps digging her hole.
Maura watches as Bass sneaks back in the pen and goes to his hole he dug. Jane and Maura both laugh . Maura says "See they're fighting about something. C'mon let's go back in . Let them work it out for themselves."
As they walked back in the house Jane's cell rang. Jane scrunches her face upset thinking it was work calling and interrupting their anniversary.
"Rizzoli."
Megan the tortoise handler from the breeding farm they got Clemmy from is calling to give Jane and Maura the results from the latest vet's check ups on Bass and Clemmy.
Jane smiles as Maura watches knowing thankfully it's not work .
"Hi Megan , how are you?"
Maura has always been jealous of Megan . She feels Megan flirts entirely too much with Jane. Maura goes over and takes the phone out of Jane's hand. Jane smiles she loves jealous Maura being all protective of their relationship.
"Hi Megan this is Maura...yes I'm fine. Jane and I are celebrating our year anniversary. So this isn't a good time to call ab...oh test results?...yes...well thank you for calling...Yes tomorrow we will be expecting you." Maura clicks off the phone and hands it back to Jane.
Jane curious asks "Well what tests? And why is she coming here tomorrow?"
Maura leads Jane over to the couch to sit down. She knows Jane isn't going to like the results.
Maura grasps Jane's hand in hers "Jane ,Bass and Clemmy aren't fighting. They are nesting."
Jane was confused "What ? Nesting? What are they turning into birds? What the hell are you talking about Maura?"
"Clemmy is pregnant." Jane's eyebrows shoot up. "Now Jane that's why she is digging a hole. She is going to lay her eggs in it. I think they can lay 35 to 40 eggs at a time. Isn't this great . I'm so excited little baby tortoises. Aren't you excited too Jane?"
Jane is shocked she's picturing 35 to 40 tiny Bass Jr's running around annoying her.
Jane throws her face defeatedly into her hands and says " Maura ….Bass is multiplying!... I just can't...I can't."
Maura hugs her laughing. "It's going to be fun I promise Jane. Now let's go finish celebrating our anniversary. We can finish talking about having our own babies too."
Maura gets up takes Jane by the hand and leads her into their bedroom. Maura was taking off her dress slowly and seductively as they walked. Maura was completely nude by the time they entered the bedroom. Jane smirks as Maura starts undressing her.
The doorbell rings they both look at each other. Jane smiles "Our dinner is here?" Jane quickly buttons up her shirt. She gives Maura a quick kiss "I'll go answer the door. You want to meet me in the kitchen?"
Maura smiles shakes her head. "No I'm not hungry for that kind of Italian. Throw the food in the fridge and come serve me what I'm hungry for. Your Italian self in our bed." She turns and walks to the bed and gets in.
Jane is frozen watching Maura. The doorbell rings again. Jane runs answers the door.
She grabs the food from her friend says "Thanks man I owe you , bye."
She pushes him out and slams the door in his face. Runs to the kitchen throws the food in the fridge. Then sprints to the bedroom.
She sees Maura laying in bed waiting for her. She starts hurriedly undressing . Jane says vibrating in arousal and smirking " I believe you ordered one hot Italian?"
Maura smiles nodding admiring the Italian's naked body.
"Yes , very hot . Now get over here before it gets cold Jane ."
