I got this idea from the episode I kissed a girl when Maura say's it was like dressing a squirming six-year-old.


Maura sighed in frustration.

"Why don't you pick three outfits you like?"

The little girl smiled and started looking at the several racks of clothing.

"Is that your first outfit?"

Maura asked as the girl pointed to a shirt and a pair of pants.

"Yes, but can I get a pink shirt instead of blue?"

Maura nodded and found a pink shirt like the blue one.

"No dresses?"

Maura didn't turn around nor did she even register who was behind. She just answered.

"I've tried she doesn't like to wear dresses."

That's when Maura turned around.

"Hi Jane, what are you doing here?"

Maura asked stepping in front of Jane hoping she couldn't see the little girl.

"Tommy sent me here to get"

Jane glanced down at her list.

"Tear free shampoo, diapers, wipes, and baby food. Ma asked me to get stuff to make lasagna and a tummy time gym for T.J.'s birthday, whatever that is."

Maura laughed.

"Basically it's a mat that baby's play on."

Jane shrugged and put the list back in her pocket.

"What are you doing here?"

Maura bit her lip.

"Mama can I get this too."

Maura turned around looking at the little girl holding up a denim jacket.

"Sure, Sarah now hurry up and pick two more outfits out."

"So I'm assuming she's your daughter?"

Jane asked Maura.

"Yes, she is my daughter."

"How old is she?"

"Six and super picky."

Maura said watching Sarah look through cloths.

"I've been to your house a million times how did I miss her."

"She likes reading in her room and your mother is a great babysitter."

Jane looked shocked.

"My mother know's Sarah and kept her a secret?"

Maura nodded.

"Mama I'm ready to go get lunch."

Sarah said handing Maura two more outfits.

"Sarah this is my friend Jane."

Maura said introducing them. Sarah looked at her mother.

"Meme's daughter?"

Maura nodded glancing at Jane.

"Would you like to come have lunch with us?"

Maura asked Jane.

"Dose lunch involve kale?"

Sarah made a 'yucky' face.

"No, kale nasty. Pizza is better."

Jane smiled.

"We'll I can't turn down pizza can I?"

Maura shook her head.

"No you can't turn down pizza."


The three of them sat waiting for their pizza.

"So Janie, Meme said you catch bad guys."

Jane smiled.

"Yep I'm a detective."

"Is it true you duck taped your brother to a chair?"

Sarah asked taking a bite of her pizza. Jane gave Maura a glare. Maura put her hands up in surrender.

"Angela told her that not me."

Sarah finished her pizza.

"Sadie's house now?"

Sarah asked Maura.

"Who's Sadie?"

Sarah smiled.

"My best friend."


This will be a two shot.
