Author's Note: So this just popped into my head as I have been re-watching the early seasons of Rizzoli & Isles. There are no spoilers for any episodes. This is an AU one shot. This is my first Rizzles FanFic. x
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I do not own Rizzoli & Isles (wish I did though.)
Maura sat in the small corridor and was quickly becoming bored and uncomfortable. She shuffled in her seat as much as her swollen stomach would allow. She was supposed to be seen twenty minutes ago. With her growing need to pee she decided she would wait ten more minutes before leaving.
"Mrs Rizzoli-Isles." A woman called her. Maura turned her head and found a woman around her own age with light brunette hair, looking around expectantly. Maura was that happy to finally be able to have this meeting and go home she didn't even correct the woman calling her Mrs and not Dr. She eased herself up and out of the chair, not easy considering she was seven months pregnant, and walked over to the woman. She slowly followed her through the door and took a seat opposite the brunette. Maura shuffled in the rather hard chair as she placed a hand over her baby bump.
"Hello, Mrs Rizzoli-Isles." The brunette greeted her. Maura smiled politely back at her sensing the other woman wouldn't appreciate small talk and that she had a point to make. Maura barely had chance to take the smile from her face before the brunette continued to talk. "I'm Ms Collins, Kate's teacher." She informed the pregnant honey blonde sat opposite her desk.
"It's nice to meet you. Kate talks about you a lot." Maura responded. Truth be told she felt like she knew more then necessary about her daughter's teacher. She has lost count of the amount of times Kate has come home ranting about everything her teacher had let them do that day.
Ms Collins smiled a little and nodded to Maura before briefly down at the papers on her desk. "Well, as I'm sure you know Kate is a very bright and bubbly little girl." The brunette teacher stated. Maura simply nodded again in response. "Kate has excellent grades and is always top of the class. She is also an excellent artist. But her drawing of her family has me more then slightly worried." She informed the mother.
Maura's brow wrinkled together in confusion to this statement. While she knew Kate loved drawing, she didn't know why her teacher would be worried. The pregnant honey blonde was handed a piece of paper from the desk and after another confused glance at the brunette and looked down. She herself couldn't find anything wrong with the drawing. In fact the accuracy surprised her.
Kate had drawn every one in proportion. A small figure in purple obviously representing Kate herself was holding hands with an even small figure in blue, which Maura noticed was supposed to be Kate's brother, Conner. Stood next to Conner was Jane. Taller then everyone else in the drawing with wild curly hair. Next to Kate was a representation of her. With yellow and orange hair and standing a little shorter then Jane with a large stomach, obviously pregnant.
"I'm afraid I don't understand" Maura started. While unusual for a child of Kate's age to know to draw using proportions she saw nothing in the drawing to indicate why the brunette opposite her was worried. "Why would this drawing worry you?" She asked. The expectant mother sat there and watched the disbelief and horror fall across the teachers face and she couldn't help but look over the drawing again. She was beyond confused and it wasn't a feeling she was used to or liked.
"You really don't see what's worrying in this drawing?" Ms Collins asked Maura. The mother simply placed the drawing on the desk and shook her head. She saw the teacher's eyes widen at this. "This is what worries me." She stated placing her finger next to something on Kate's drawing.
Looking down Maura noticed for the first time Kate had drawn Jane with a gun on her hip. She couldn't help but smile as she lifted her gaze to the teacher, raising her eye brow for an explanation. "Kate has drawn your wife with a gun. When I asked Kate about it she told me her ma told her she carries it for protection. To protect Kate and the rest of the family. Usually in these cases the child is being abused or..."
Ms Collins didn't get to finish her sentence. The first half of it was enough to make the pregnant woman's anger rise. Maura stood from her seat abruptly, grabbing the desk and leaning towards the teacher. "How dare you! I mean how dare you accuse me and my wife of such a thing!" The honey blonde all but shouted. "I don't suppose it occurred to you to ask my daughter what her ma does for a living while you were interrogating her?" The angry woman asked. Seeing she wouldn't get an answer she continued. "My wife is a detective with Boston Homicide. She is required to carry her gun with her and yes she has had it on her a few times when picking Kate up from school. When you have a..." Maura took a breath before continuing. "serial killer hunting you and you girlfriend down that gun is the only protection you have. And yes, when asked my wife told Kate she carried it for protection because that is the exact reason she has it." Maura stated.
Glaring at Ms Collins for another few minutes Maura decided it was best for her to leave before she lost her temper completely. Without another word to the teacher Maura grabbed her daughter's picture (because it really was amazing) and stormed out of the classroom. Heading to her car to go home to her family.
Author's Note: So I am considering this being a two or three chapter story but will leave the decision up to you guys. If there is enough interest I will add another chapter or two. Please review and let me know. x
