"Maura, let's go!" Jane yelled at the top of the stairs when entering their home in order to grab the bags left to load the car.
"Don't worry Jane, we're coming." Maura calmly said while walking down the stairs with their son, James.
"What took you so long? You were ready when I started loading the car." Ever since their first vacation together, when Jane had to wait 30 minutes in the car for Maura, she now knows to wait until Maura announces she's ready to start loading the car.
Maura looked at their son and, after making sure he was busy with the straps of his backpack, stepped closer to Jane and whispered "He got nervous when he couldn't find his favorite shirt."
Her comment made Jane look at him and notice he was wearing the personalized Red Sox jersey she gave him as a gift for the first time they went to see a game. It was also clear how he couldn't seem to stand still, always fixing his backpack or looking at his shoes.
It was only after a bad reaction and refusal to go on a field trip to the beach, that his fear of the ocean became clear to both, Jane and Maura. They decided to come up with a way to help him and, after weeks of thinking, this trip finally came to mind.
She looked back at Maura and found herself looking at Maura's "do something" face.
"Looking good my man." Jane teased him, receiving the smile she was hoping for.
"You think Momma? Mommy said people at the beach don't wear things like this." He said looking for approval.
Jane faked a gasp, looking at Maura and then back, saying: "Don't listen to her, a Red Sox jersey is appropriate for any time."
"Jane!" Maura half chuckled half complained, but didn't comment any further, knowing no matter how close she and James were, and they were, his bond with Jane was instant and unbreakable from the moment he was born. He looks up at her in a way no one would ever major up.
"Go put your things in the car, okay buddy?" He nodded, running to the car.
Jane stepped closer to Maura, wrapping her arms around her waist smiling when Maura's arms instinctively went around her neck.
"Babe, he's nervous about this trip as it is, we have to make him as comfortable as he can be, okay? " They both knew she was talking about the fact that, ever since they told him they were taking him to Constance beach house, he had been a little clingy and quieter than usual.
"I know, I just don't want him to think he can start using that jersey for our annual pictures or Christmas photos." Maura pouted a little.
"I promise when we get back we'll have a talk about specials events clothes and comfortable clothes, okay? I'll even let you take him to that fancy store you've been meaning to take him." She reassured her wife with a peck.
"Okay. Ohh Jane, I'm so nervous" Maura admitted tightening her grip on Jane's neck to ground herself."Everything will go smoothly on this trip, right? We won't make things worse?"
"I promise. Everything will be fine. Even if he doesn't go into the ocean, we'll show him that's okay too and we'll support him no matter what." Jane answered, leaning her forehead against Maura's.
Maura showed her gratitude by moving in for a hug, taking comfort in the way Jane's strong arms wrapped around her.
She broke their hug a few moments later, moving towards their car while Jane finished locking up their house.
Jane opened the driver's door to see that both, Maura and James, were already bucked up and ready to go. As the car exited their driveway, she felt Maura take her hand and, in response, she smiled, placing a kiss in Maura's hand.
"Mommy?" James called from the backseat.
"Yes, honey. What is it?" Maura turns into her seat to look at him.
"When we get to grandma's house, will everyone else be there?" He asked, moving his hands and legs anxiously.
Maura squeezed Jane's hand tight and seeing the reassuring nod, answered him.
"No, sweetie. It will be just the three of us. Your grandma is out of town but, if you want, before we get back we can call your uncles and nonna, and have them join us. We can have a cook out. Do you want me to call them, baby?" She caressed his hair in a smoothing way, grabbing his attention.
"No!" He nervously exclaimed. "I want just us there. Is that okay?" He softly said looking back and forth between Jane and Maura, wanting to see if he had made them upset.
"Of course it is." Jane was the one to answer him. "I want nothing more than to spend this time with my two favorite people." She said winking at him through the rearview mirror, getting a small smile in return. "And your Mom agrees with me."
He turned his attention to Maura who immediately answered "Yes! I think nothing is better than to have both of you all to myself." She said while turning her body in order to fill his face with kisses, making giggles and joyous cries of "Mommy" be heard in the car.
He moved his arms around her neck, wrapping Maura into a hug and whispered into her ear "What about Momma?"
Maura turned her attention to the road and after noticing they were about to stop in a red light, took advantage, repeating the same actions on Jane, getting laughter from the whole family. She stopped only after hearing a honk and seeing that the light had turned green.
Jane smiled, loving how, after having James, Maura got a playful and softer side. She knew it was something Maura showed only around James, or both of them. And seeing how both his and Maura's spirits were better, Jane didn't miss the opportunity to place a kiss on her wife's lips before driving, whispering, not intending anyone to hear "It's going to be a great weekend."
But as she caught a glimpse of Maura's beautiful smile, she knew she was heard.
