*Maura is pondering.*

The young doctor twiddled her thumbs then she trusted them down in frustration. "Huh fidgeting, I never fidget." She whispered to herself.

"How are we doing?" Jane's trauma surgeon asked. "I was wondering why Jane still has a bullet fragment in her."

"Well the gun was only fired once but oddly the bullet slightly spread the main bullet went straight through her, but a fragment turned to the right and got logged next to the fetus. It's simply to close to the fetus we'd lose the baby if we tried to take it out." The surgeon explained sitting up in Maura's bed; rubbing her bare back.

"So it's the fragment that's causing her pain; right?"

"Yep pretty much."


*Maura goes to Jane's apartment*

The blond knocked on the door of her friend's apartment door; but instead of Jane answering, her mother opened the door. "Oh, hi is Jane home?"

"No, she left to go get groceries, but I want to talk to you." Angela said rubbing her hands on a towel.

"Ok sure what about?" Maura said entering the apartment as Angela stepped aside.

"What's wrong with my daughter?" she asked tossing the towel on the couch.

"Uh…"

"Don't kid with me I know she'd tell you first, now tell me."

Maura shook her head. "That's between you and Jane, I shouldn't." But Angela interrupted her. "This is my daughter I need to know what's wrong with her!" Angela pushed.

"But it doesn't involve me!" Maura shot back trying to get out of the awkward situation. Angela shook her head and looked down to her shoes. "You're right sorry I asked."

Just then the door swung open and a tall brown haired detective stood in the doorway with a bag of groceries in each hand.

"Are we having a party?" Jane asked; "You know that the couch isn't broken right you can sit down." Jane continued.

"Jane we were just talking about you; here let me help you." Maura said rushing forward and grabbing a bag from one of her hands.

As both women walked towards the kitchen Maura whispered to Jane. "You mom knows something's wrong with you."

"Shit!" Jane cursed.
