Chapter 3

All the Rizzoli's had slept great that is of course until Jane was awaken at around 5am. "Mama?" Trying quietly not to wake her mother. "What, is it bells?" Jane asked rubbing her very sleepy eyes." I got to go potty." Rolling her eyes and as quiet as possible she threw on a sweatshirt for her and Arabella. Shoes were added and once they had got finished it was very close to 6 and the sun was starting to rise. They got back to the campsite and back in the tent. Arabella was quickly fast asleep again. As soon as she had got back under the covers, Maura rolls over," Oh good your already up. Can you go start the fire again? I bet its cold out there." Taking a deep breath, "The things I do for you." She quickly got dressed for the day and did exactly as her wife asked. She starts the fire and thinks to herself, "They both are wrapped around my fingers." Going through the things Maura and her mother had packed she quickly smiles. Eyeing the instant coffee, "I will for sure need you today." starting a pot on the fire.

The family had decided to go on the ranger's hike for the day Angela and Lydia decided to stay at the campsite; they agreed they would fix lunch and that it would be ready when they returned. Maura sprayed Arabella and T.j. with bug spray and herself. The others didn't think too. Jane hoisted her daughter on her shoulders and they were off. After an hour they arrived at an amazing waterfall that was one of the parks attractions. Frankie and Tommy were playing with the kids so Jane and Maura decided to take some time alone. Wrapping her arms around her wife's waist and resting her chin on her shoulder they both were enjoying the waterfall." It sure is Beautiful." Maura spoke first looking at the fall. "It sure is." Jane agreed but she wasn't really looking at anything but Maura. Kissing her neck, Maura turned in Jane's arms, "You missed." Grabbing Jane's cheeks she kissed her and Jane undoubtedly kissed right back. They started getting pretty hot and heavy when they were interrupted by a screeching cry.

It wasn't just any scream it was their daughter's hurt scream. Running they found her with the others surrounding her. She was crying hysterically. Maura quickly became mommy and doctor all in one. Cradling her daughter and making sure she wasn't too hurt. "What happened?" Jane asked her brothers and nephew. "We were playing tag and T.J was it he was chasing her and she tripped over that rock sticking out of the ground. She feel and next thing we knew she was screaming. Jane it was an accident." Frankie being the responsible one explained what had happened to his little niece. "Tommy hand me the backpack I got a small first aid kit in it." Tommy just nodded and retrieved the bag. "Maur is she going be ok?" "Yes, Jane she's going to be ok a few scraps on her knees from the dirt and a bump on her head. Nothing a Disney Frozen band aid won't fix." Smiling at her daughter knowing it was her favorite movie. Whispering to Arabella as she applied the bandage," tell mama your ok she'll worry other wise." Kissing the bandage Arabella ran to her mama, "I'm ok mama. Can I piggyback ride back?" Jane nodded kissing her bump that was on her head. On there way back to the camp site it was as if she hadn't got hurt at all, running and jumping with TJ. T.j. being independent ran ahead of everyone else. They had finally caught up and Maura instantly knowing what he was standing in yelled at him," T.j. please get out of that, that's poison ivy." He jumped and started itching. Maura again retreated to her bag and started applying calamine lotion to her nephew.

Returning to the campsite Angela and Lydia were told the story of their day and why Arabella had bruises and T.j. was covered in pink lotion. They all then ate the lunch the two Rizzoli women had cooked. Deciding on relaxing a little Bella took a nap they guys fished while the girls including Jane this time played Canasta. Around 2pm Arabella woke from her nap wanting to know what they were going to do now that she was up. They agreed on the Junior Ranger course however T.j. refused not wanting other kids to make fun of him in pink lotion. So the other Rizzoli's stayed behind and Arabella was ok with that." I get to spend time with just my mommies." They walked with Bella in the middle holding hands over to the ranger's station.

Walking in they approached the ranger's desk. "Hi, sweetie. What's your name and how old are you?" The ranger asked. Looking up at her mommies they nodded and she answered," Arabella Rizzoli and I'm 3." "We'll you are too cute. Are these your mommies?" She nodded answering. The ranger introduced herself to Jane and Maura and showed them to the room where the 3 to 5 year old would have their course. Once they had settled in the ranger began to explain and teach them all about the nature and park they were staying in. They played games and drew pictures. They were to be asked one question that the ranger had answered threw the class and if correct they would be presented with a junior ranger badge and handbook about everything the ranger had taught. One by one their names were called. Maura noticing Arabella was shaking." sweetie you ok?" she just shook her head no. Eyeing Jane she knew it was mama to the rescue. "what's wrong peanut?" Arabella looking up at Jane," I'm nervous mama." " wWhy? There is no reason to be nervous." Arabella looked right into her mama's eyes, "I don't want to be wrong I want a badge just like you." The ranger then called her name she was last to answer her question. Walking to the ranger, Jane and Maura both looked at each other both thinking please don't be wrong." Ok Arabella are you ready?" The ranger asked. Nodding her head yes the question was asked," ok, Arabella what plant should you never touch?" She smiled so big even showing off her dimples. She sure was happy she had a very goofy cousin. She answered proudly," poison Ivy." She was handed her badge and handbook. Running back she was picked up by her mama and Jane just couldn't help but think looking at her wife and daughter how did I get so lucky.
