Still Eight Years Ago, don't worry we are close to the present
Waiting rooms seemed to be the new thing she did. She waited at the doctor's office all the time. Now she was waiting in this one. At least this one didn't smell of recent cleaning agents but more like aged wood. When the woman came out of the room and called her name she smiled and got up walking into the smaller office.
The woman who called her in gestured to a chair across from a really fancy desk. Jane sat down feeling so out-of-place and fiddling with her phone. She was not calling her Ma again. She had told her Ma that it was a scare. She didn't want to disappoint her with a grandchild she could never hold. So no calling Ma.
A different woman walked in. The woman looked sweet enough. Her light brown hair waved around her face in a very pretty way. She held out her hand and Jane stood up. "Hello, I'm Suzette Alexander. I'm your representative today."
Jane took her hand shaking it. "I'm Jane Rizzoli the non responsible adult tryin' ta do the right thing." She sat down when gestured to and started flipping her phone in her lap again. She heard the chuckle from the woman and was pleased she did something right.
She heard Suzette open a folder. "Right, Miss Rizzoli. The father he knows and is ok with this?"
Jane nodded her head to that question and only glanced up. "Yes, we talked and he will sign whatever paper you need. He is a surgical resident so he had no time for a child either. Not if he like me want to get to the place we want in our careers."
Suzette nodded and wrote on the paper she then asked another question. "Well what exactly are you hoping for in an adoptive family."
Jane looked up into those very blue eyes, they almost looked grey. "UMm... gosh I don't know. I want'er to be well takin' care of. Smart, believe in college. A.. Would I get to meet the family?"
Suzette wrote things down as Jane talked and nodded her head. "Yes, during the pregnancy you will see them regularly but we only do closed adoptions here to protect the new parents. So after the child is born that would be the end of contact."
"Oh.." Jane replied to that news and looked at her phone. She didn't know if she liked the thought of not being able to see the kid. She knew she would want to make sure the child was ok. It was her job to make sure the kid was ok. How could she do that if she could never see it again. How would it know she was trying to do the right thing and that she cared. "Right, well.. Thanks for your time."
Jane stood up and shook the woman's hand. "I.. I think I'll keep looking." She walked out of the office
Jane was unlocking her apartment door when her phone went off. She put it to her ear. "Rizzoli." She said to it as she kicked the door shut and moved towards the kitchen part of her studio apartment with her groceries. She heard the familiar male voice on the other end say hi.
"Well if it isn't the baby daddy. What'cha need? I thought we had this talk. Your free ta live your life. I'll handle it and send ya papers. It's really ok." She pulled the milk out of the bag and put it into the heard Gary's laugh on the other end of the phone and him say. "No, Jane I think I found you the solution to our problem. I know you had that interview today with that adoption agency but one of my families friends are looking to adopt. I know them personally and they are really good people. I talked to them and they would be cool doing this private. So.. I don't know thought it might help."
Jane set the box of cereal back down and blinked a bunch of times. "Seriously that might be amazing I just got back from there where the creepy woman was all and after you have it your cut off. Really? That is crazy I can't do that. Be cut off."
Gary chuckled again and she could almost hear his smile on the other line of the phone. "They wouldn't do that. They assured me to tell you. Pictures every so often if you wanted. Visitations at least once a year would be cool. They said we could be the cool aunt and uncle. But when the kid was old enough they would tell it."
Jane smiled at that and felt a little better. "So I getta meet them right? Soon maybe?"
"Yea, of course. I will set up a dinner or something just give me your days off." Gary replied gave him the info and hung up the phone staring at it. Well now she just had to hope they were not huge weirdos in their free time.
