I wish life wasn't so complicated so that I could update more often, I apologise for the lack of updates lately - I haven't been coping well with the news that my nan is going to die.

Also apologies for any spelling mistakes in the last chapter (I found one) I hadn't read through it before I posted it.

Chapter Six -

After the doctor and nurses had left the room, Jane slowly walked over to the bed with a huge grin on her face.

"I missed that smile." Maura spoke softly.

"I missed you so fucking much, Maura," Happy tears fell down Jane's face. "I love you baby, don't you ever, EVER do that to me again."

"I'm sorry I got stabbed." Maura smiled and looked at her fiancée with glassy eyes.

"Did Maura Isles just attempt a funny?"

"Mm," Maura laughed. "So we have a son."

"We do," Jane sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed. "He isn't doing to well Maur."

"I want to meet him, the nurse gave me this photo," Maura showed Jane a photo of Harper in the incubator. "But I want to see him in person, they said tomorrow. Do we have tomorrow?"

"I-I don't know."

"Then get a wheel chair and take me to see our son." Maura's voice was demanding.

"You need to stay here, babe you just woke from a coma, you were stabbed a few days ago, you had a cesarean, and you can't just get up and walk around when the doctors have told you otherwise."

"I didn't say I was going to walk, Jane. I asked you to get me a wheel chair," Maura pulled herself up in bed, using all her strength in her one good arm. "Please?"

"You're so damn lucky I love you Maura Isles, I am so not happy with you but I want you to meet Harper." Jane walked into the corridor, looked around and quickly snatched a wheel chair and went back to Maura's room.

"So we went with Harper then?" Maura raised her eyebrow.

"Oh, well," Jane fumbled with her hands. "You said you liked it."

"I love it." Maura carefully unhooked what she knew she was able to unhook without setting off any buzzers. Jane carefully helped Maura to the wheel chair and checked outside for any doctors or nurses who could stop them in their tracks. "Hold on to your IV, we're off to meet our baby."

"Oh Jane," Maura placed her hand to her mouth as tears welled in her eyes. "He's so beautiful, so small."

"I'm so glad you're here meeting him babe. He's wonderful," Jane sat on the chair next to Maura's wheel chair. "He looks like you."

"And he has dark hair like you," Maura beamed as she edged closer to the incubator where her tiny son fought for his life. "We did a really good job with the sperm donor!"

"I love how you're so awake now." Jane had no other words to describe how Maura was.

"Not all people who come out of coma's are in a terrible state afterwards, and aside from a sore head, shoulder and stomach, I am fine. There's nothing medically alarming to worry about."

"You flat lined babe, more than once."

"I did, there was too much stress on my body and on my heart, I'm okay now, I've survived and there will be no more talking of me, this time is now Harper's." Maura was firm with her wife-to-be when she needed to be. Their son needed them.

"Would you guys like a photo with him?" The nurse who was looking after Harper offered as she held the camera in her left hand.

The new mums agreed and Jane was quick on her feet to help Maura stand for the photo, Maura placed her finger in Harper's hand and tears formed as his tiny hand grasped around her finger. Jane walked around and stood on the other side of the incubator and watched the two loves of her life sharing a precious moment, a moment she couldn't miss out on. She followed Maura's actions and placed her finger in Harper's free hand and bit her lip to prevent crying as he grasped onto her finger. Maura looked over at Jane as the nurse took a few close up photos of Harper holding their fingers.

"And now for one of the three of you," The nurse aimed the camera and told the mums to smile. "Beautiful."

Mama M and Mama J spent some time down in the NICU - the nurses had found out where Maura had gone and while they weren't happy they allowed her to slide under the circumstances.

"I can't believe Mr. Daniels was responsible for all of this," Maura took a sip of the coffee in her hand as she snuggled close to Jane as the pair sat in chairs watching their son. "When he approached me on the way to the bathroom, his voice was desperate, he looked scary. I thought he took no for an answer, I had no idea he was going to follow me into the bathroom."

"He's lucky that you were in here and Peanut, because I swear I want to kill him," Jane held her fiancée closer. "That bastard did this to our family."

"He's behind bars now; we just need to focus on getting Harper better and having him home." Maura turned her head and kissed Jane's cheek.

"Maur, how serious is Intraventricular hemorrhage?" Jane's voice was nothing but a whisper.

"It's very serious Jane, I-I don't know if he's going to survive, his stats aren't good." Maura spoke with no emotion in her voice as she stared at Harper.

"He's a Rizzoli-Isles, he will survive," Jane wished she believed her broken words. "He has to."

Maura watched Harper as Jane slept peacefully in the chair next to her.

"His breathing is pausing a lot," Maura looked over to the doctor as he monitored Harper. "His blood pressure has been going up and down ever since we've been in here, his heart rate was too but it's been low for the last 20 minutes."

"We're doing everything we can." The doctor looked over to the fragile mother in front of him. "We started a blood transfusion to help improve his blood pressure and cell count."

"You started that over an hour ago, his blood pressure still isn't stable," Maura continued to speak with no emotion. "It would have helped by now if it was going to."

The doctor nodded sympathetically toward Maura. She knew what she was talking about.

"He has a weak suck, decreased muscle tone and reflexes," Maura was quick to wipe the tears from her face. "Have you officially diagnosed him?"

"We're awaiting the results; they should be back any minute."

Maura looked to the sleeping detective by her side and looked back to the doctor. "What stage? 2?"

"Ma'am, we're still awaiting the results." The nurse chimed in.

"3," The doctor looked to the nurse. "She's a doctor and she knows what she is talking about."

Maura nodded and chewed on her lip as tears began to flow; she sobbed loudly, causing Jane to wake.

"Babe? Maura? What's wrong? Is it Harper?" Jane shot up and put her arms around Maura.

"He's not going to make it, Jane." Maura sobbed into Jane's shoulder.

Jane looked toward the doctor who was reading what she assumed were results regarding Harper. "What do you mean he's not going to make it?"

"The results have come back and show that your son's brain is swelling and that there is bleeding on his brain."

"Well what do you do to control it?" Jane's heart pounded in her chest as she held her crying fiancée close.

"You can't" Maura choked out into Jane's neck.

"Unfortunately there's no way to control or stop the bleeding associated with IVH."

"So you're just going to let him die?" Jane's voice was loud and rational. "I mean there has to be some way out of this; he has to come out of this. Maura?"

Before Maura was able to answer her broken fiancée, the sound of machine's going off was heard through-out the NICU.
