Rafael was sitting in his suite. Enjoying a drink, and his last moments of freedom before he went to the authorities. When

there was a banging on the door. He was startled. He opened the door and there were the police. "Rafael Solano?" One of

the men said in a gruff voice. "Yes?" Rafael answered tentatively. "You are under arrest for lying to police and obstructing

a police investigation of Emilio Solano." "I was about to turn myself in, I don't understand." "Looks like someone beat you

to it." The police officers put Rafael in cuffs and escorted him out the door. He hated to admit it but his first thought was Michael. That guy was always in the way. He knew he had it out for him. He was threatened. He was afraid that he would steal Jane away from him again. Part of him didn't blame him. He did still love Jane, but he knew he had to move on.

As he walked down the hall he noticed Scott lurking in the corner watching him. He felt silly about blaming Michael. He

knew it wasn't him. It was clear that it was Scott his Ex assistant. He didn't exactly know how, or what his motive was but he

knew.

Jane's POV after the dinner with Bruce and Tess.

"Thanks for doing this Jane" Xo said while washing the dinner dishes

"It's fine mom, it wasn't terrible" Jane lied.

"Oh really? What dinner were you at?" Xiomara joked.

"Well it's over now." Jane took the dishes from her mom to dry them.

"I know you're not the biggest fan of Bruce."

"Honestly no, I'm not, but I just want you to be happy Ma and I can tell that you are."

"I am hun. He's changed I promise."

"It's been my experience that people don't change." Jane countered.

"They can though. Just trust me on this." Xo pleaded.

"I just don't want you to be hurt again. I was there for you every time he broke your heart."

"I know. And I appreciate that you were."

"Anyway. Mom I have some news."

"News? Like what?" Xo raised her eye brows.

"Michael passed his LSATS" Jane squealed.

"Oh my god he did?! That's amazing!"

"I know!"

"So what happens now?"

"He has to apply to law schools."

"That's exciting!"

"It is. "I'm so happy for him."

"I'm so proud of the both of you. I love you Janie"

"You haven't called me Janie is soo long."

"You better call your dad tell him the news."

"We're having him over for breakfast tomorrow Michael wants to see him."

"That's sweet."

"I know, I love how well they get along even if it was a little weird at first."

"It's nice. Trust me it's way less complicated when all of the in laws get along."

"You thinking about Glamma?"

"Yeah, but I don't have to worry about her anymore." Xiomara looked sorrowful.

"You okay?"

"Yes, It's just.. sometimes I miss Rogelio."

"I know. It's hard. And believe me I would love for you two to be together but having kids is such a huge sacrifice if you don't want them."

"And I don't."

"And he does." Jane stated.

"Right. So it is what it is."

"What about Bruce?"

"What do you mean? What about him?" Xo asked confused.

"Does he want kids? More kids?"

"You know what I don't know. We haven't gotten that far yet."

"Might be a good idea. You know to find out now instead of later."

"You're probably right."

Later that evening Jane and Michael are in bed.

"Rafael is going to jail." Jane tells her husband.

"Jail? What why?"

"Something about his dad. Or Emilio I mean."

"Oh you mean the hiding evidence?"

"You knew?"

"I suspected."

"You never said anything." Jane accused.

"What could I have said? I think he's lying about knowing what his father is up to?"

"That sounds pretty good!"

"I didn't know for sure, and people would have just thought I was doing it because I didn't like the guy."

"Well. Can you blame them? You're not exactly shy that you are not his number one fan."

"Can you blame me for disliking him? You left me for him." Michael sounded a bit hurt.

"I know. I'm sorry. I thought we were passed this?"

"We are, we are. I'm sorry. It's just hard sometimes." Michael admitted.

"I know, I can't even imagine." Jane hugged him close.

"It's the past. I know you love me."

"I do."

"Besides, He's going to jail so now I don't have to worry about him." Michael half joked.

"Michael!" Jane playfully slapped him.

"Sorry sorry I had to."

There was a harsh knock on the door. The couple looked at each other.

"Are you expecting anyone?" Jane asked Michael.

"No? You?"

"No.. Her voice trailed off. They knocked again harder.

Jane! I know you're home."

Jane could hear babies crying.

"It's Petra." Jane said plainly. "I got it."

Jane opened the door to a clearly distraught Petra holding two car seats with screaming babies.

"Petra." Jane simply states.

"I don't know what I'm doing I need help."

"What's wrong?"

"Can't you see? They won't stop crying."

"They are babies, they cry sometimes."

"It's been hours. I'm going crazy."

"Are they wet? Did you feed them?"

"I tried. They won't eat."

"Come in." Jane takes one of the babies from her.

She rocks the baby and coos at her.

"Make some bottles, I'll feed them."

"Jane.." Petra begins. She needed to thank her in some way. But she didn't know how.

"It's no problem." Jane assures her as if she knew what Petra was thinking.

The next morning. Jane woke up early. she looked over at her sleeping husband. He some how slept through the screaming babies. She checked the baby monitor. Mateo was still sleeping. She was still tired last night was a long night. She finally got Elsa and Anna fed, cleaned up and fast asleep. She assured Petra several times that she could do it she just needed to give herself some time. It was a long night but she knew Petra could do it. she told her she had to because it was her only choice.

Rogelio Jane and Michael were enjoying a pleasant breakfast.

"So dad we have some exciting news we want to tell you." Jane began.

"Oh my god your pregnant!" Ro shouted.

"No dad we're not pregnant."

"Darn. I really wanted another grandchild. Not that i don't love Matelio. I do."

"I passed my Lsats I'm going to Law school." Michael told his father in law.

"That's wonderful news Michael! I personally have always wanted to play a lawyer on TV."

"Right, so we just wanted to tell you that." Jane told him.

Ro was still staring at Jane like he was waiting for more.

"I'm not pregnant!" She told him.

"Just curious though you are going to have a kid together right?" Rogelio asked eagerly.

Jane and Michael looked at each other.

"We both want at least one together yes. but not right now or really any time soon."

"Don't wait too long Jane."

"I am young I have plenty of time. We have a timeline."

"That's fair. So Michael what Law schools are you applying to?"

"Pretty much all of them in Florida."

"Are you guys thinking about moving?"

Jane looked at Michael. "Are we thinking about moving?" She asked him sternly

"Well, no. Not right now. I'm hoping to get into the university of Miami which is only 20 minutes away but i had to apply to a lot just to be sure."

Michael I don't want to move."

"I know. and we probably won't have to."

"I love this house."

"I do too Jane."

"I'm sorry you two I didn't mean to start a fight."

"No, dad you did nothing wrong you were just asking a question."

"Maybe I should go."

"Don't be silly you haven't finished breakfast. Stay, please." Michael insisted.

"Okay I will."

They continued to eat and were able to go back to polite conversation but Jane would not forget to pick up this conversation with Michael later. She knew it was important to apply to a lot of schools, but how could Michael consider applying to schools that were hours away without talking to her about it first?

"So Jane how is working for that publisher?" Ro asked breaking the silence.

"It's going. I'm basically just her errand girl for right now but it's a step in the right direction."

"You're going to get something good out of this I can feel it." Rogelio told his daughter.

"Thanks dad, which reminds me I really should start to get ready for work."

"Right I've got to be at the set soon anyway. I'll see you later."

One week later.

Jane had settled into a nice routine at work. Bring Chloe her coffee, get bitched at for it not being right even though she had no control over how it was made. Hand

her in materials and research from writers. Get bitched at for bad quality writing even though she was not the one who was writing the bad material just editing it.

cancelling and rescheduling appointments when she was told to do so then being bitched at for cancelling them. Basically she was just being bitched at all day. So it

was always a relief to be home with her mr. sweet face and her husband. Jane had been given the idea by one of her co workers who had previously heard about the

artificial insemination ordeal and was encouraged to write a novel loosely based off her life. At first Jane was hesitant about the idea. But one night just for fun she

decided to try and right out a chapter and before she knew it she had written three. Because it was her own life it was so easy to write about, with taking a creative

license on it of course. even if this never saw another persons eyes it was still fun to write.

Michael and Jane had worked out their issues about moving and they agreed that neither of them wanted to move, or be a long distance married couple. They were

banking on Michael getting into the university of Miami. Jane had gone to her abuela and they prayed about it together. They were waiting on the mail every day to

find that big envelope that meant he was accepted. They had decided that if the college was more than one hour away that he wouldn't go. In the mean time Michael

was home everyday with Mateo. and he had a new respect for stay at home mom's and dad's

"You know he called me daddy today." Michael told jane.

"Aww he did. This is what i was afraid of with Rafael leaving. What did you say to him?"

"I showed him a picture of him and Rafael told him that was his dad."

"And?"

"He called me daddy again. I'm not going to lie it felt kind of nice."

Jane and Michael were snuggled on the couch catching up on their novellas. Michael would never admit this but he was kind of hooked too.

"What are you thinking Michael?"

"I was thinking maybe we could move up our timeline."

"Really?"

"I mean, maybe. we could at least think about it."

"It is a nice thought, but I just started my new job, you're going to be swamped with studying. I don't think its the right time for us."

"You're right jane. its just sometimes. I really wish Mateo was mine."

"As far as im concerned he is yours too. Maybe not biologically. but you are his step dad."

"I never really thought of that. I am Huh, I am a step dad."

"why don't we just see what happens? If Mateo continues to call you dad, well he's not totally wrong."

"You think we could do that? What about Rafael?"

"He chose to leave. He knew this was a possibility and he still did it."

"Actually. he didn't exactly choose after all."

"What do you mean?"

"Dennis told me, someone turned him in before Rafael had the chance."

"Really? Who was it?"

"He doesn't know. It was an anonymous tip."

"Wow. Poor Raf."

"Well, I mean he was going to do it anyway right?"

"Yeah, but what does this mean? Will he face more time now that he didn't confess?"

"Probably not, it's a light offense."

"I really hate to ask this but.."

"What?"

"Well.. its just um.. you didn't by any chance turn Rafael did you..?"

The look on Michael's face made her instantly regret asking...
