When Maura walked into the room she found Jane crying. Not just the tears running down your cheeks crying – no – proper hiccupping kind of crying.

''Oh my God Jane are you alright,'' Maura rushed to her side.

''Where were you?'' Jane just about managed to ask. It didn't sound like an accusation. It came out more like 'I was running out of air to breath how could you have walked out with my oxygen tank'.

''You were asleep Jane I didn't want to wake you,'' Maura stood a little helplessly beside the bed. ''I had just gone to check on the kids. Are you alright Jane?''

''No,'' Jane burst out crying again, and Maura could see it on her face; Jane was in absolute agony.

The detective fancied herself a brave woman. And she was, no argument there. But some things are just not worth testing. It was the fourth day in the hospital. Jane had been deemed fit enough to go home the previous day, but she sure as hell wasn't leaving her babies behind. So she had moved into the room in NICU where Maura had been residing. The two were going to stay there for at least two weeks until Theo and Mia were hopefully going to be discharged. Benjamin would have to stay a couple weeks more they had been told.

''Jane it's alright, just focus on breathing please.'' She was getting breathless. It was their first morning and things were going wrong already.

It was her fault.

When they said she was alright, and they took off the metal staples on her C-section wound, she felt like she was invincible. Thing is, Jane hates to feel like an invalid. She'd always been like that, nothing new there. So when she moved into the room the previous afternoon she had stored away her bunch of pain medication stating she didn't need it. ''I feel like an addict always doped up on these pills. I hardly have the strength to hold my babies,'' she had said. Maura didn't argue because she knew her wife. The best way she could learn was through her mistakes.

''Here, take these,'' Maura opened the bottles handing Jane the three pills she needed to take, before going to the kitchenette and bringing her a glass of water.

Jane was in that much pain, she didn't even argue.

''Come on, let's have a shower.'' Maura helped Jane stand up. Any action requiring the use of her stomach muscles was the worst. They went to the bathroom where Maura helped her take off her sleeping shirt and turned the shower on to warm up. They had argued about this two days ago. Jane needed help cleaning up, and she hated that fact. Maura had quickly listed all the possibilities of infections and just about everything else that could go wrong from not cleaning and taking care of herself properly. It was enough to shut Jane up and accept help – it still didn't make her like it though.

''I'll just grab the conditioner,'' Maura said knowingly, walking out of the bathroom for a minute. Jane was bleeding as expected, and had to have a pad on. What she didn't like was Maura watching all this. The blonde looked at it from a medical perspective, saying it was alright and only natural. To Jane, it was plain disgusting.

Two minutes later Maura walked back in, and as she anticipated, Jane was already in the shower trying desperately to clean herself quickly. Maura put out a pair of clean 'grandma' panties and a pad out for Jane, as well as a long dress. That was another hurdle they were going to have to pass. Jane was like a child sometimes.

''Mia and Theo were asleep,'' Maura related as she massaged shampoo into Jane's hair.

''And Benny?''

''No he was awake. But quiet, no crying today''

''Mmmmm,'' Jane moaned at Maura's movements. As much as they argued, they were quick to get over it. And by the time the doctor was done with Jane's hair, they had fallen into each others arms and were kissing. ''I can't believe this is our first time of complete privacy in four days,'' she panted when she pulled away.

''It is indeed,'' Maura smiled a naughty smile.

''Sorry about earlier''

''You don't have to do that Jane. I told you to stop apologising''

''I was in so much pain Maura, and I wanted to get up but I couldn't. It hurt so bad I needed help. And then all this bleeding I desperately needed a shower''

''I shouldn't have left anyway''

''No. I should have been patient and waited. And I should have taken my damn pills last night.''

Maura laughed and then pulled Jane back to her for another kiss. ''I had missed you so badly,'' she moaned. ''I had missed just having you this close, and alone, and-'' But those words died out again as Jane slid her tongue into Maura's mouth. It was a real battle, as they both took what they'd been missing for so long. The air was already charged, and they both felt their nipples tighten with arousal as the water cascaded over them.

''Jane,'' Maura panted. ''Perhaps we should stop'' she was getting too far into it and knew it was probably too soon for Jane.

''Perhaps we shouldn't,'' Jane finished her words off by leaning against the wall for extra support and sliding two fingers over Maura's clit. It felt so good - for both of them – it had been a while.

''Ja-'' she didn't even get to the end of four letters because Jane circled her fingers over her wet clit and her whole body convulsed with need. ''ahhhhhh''

''This shouldn't take long,'' Jane smiled against Maura's mouth and her long fingers entered the blonde. Maura held onto Jane's shoulders while the brunette thrust into her, going deeper and quicker. For sure it didn't take long, because Maura came undone with a quiet cry shortly. Jane swallowed the last of her moans in a searing kiss as she slowly slid her fingers out.

''Are you ready?'' Maura asked.

Jane felt like she was, but wasn't sure.

''Just oral, no penetration,'' Maura said, shutting the water and stepping out of the shower. ''You're tired Jane, you need to lie down,'' Maura answered the unasked question when she saw Jane's perplexed face.

They didn't bother drying themselves as Jane got on the bed and Maura crawled over. The blonde resumed kissing her, relishing the feeling of finally having intimacy. Her deft fingers made their way south towards Jane's centre as she gently pulled her lips away. She had to be careful, the last thing she wanted was hurting Jane while having sex. How embarrassing would that be to explain to the doctor who'd have to attend to Jane.

''Fuck,'' Jane let out the instant Maura's fingers found her.

''Keep it down,'' Maura whispered, giggling like a school girl.

They felt rebellious. What with having sex before authorisation and all.

Just like Maura, Jane didn't last long either. The blonde was careful not to penetrate her and not to add any unnecessary pressure. She simply stimulated Jane's clit until the brunette came apart in her arms.

They were going to have to clean up again.


''Oh wow,'' Patricia said the second Jane walked into the kitchen.

''God I knew it. I look like a complete idiot'' Jane huffed as she carefully sat on the kitchen stool.

''It's just a dress Jane, will you stop whining''

''I would if everyone didn't look at me in shock''

''You can't even put on a pair of pants on your own, because it hurts too much. And you are too proud to accept my help each time. So you are going to have to wear dresses till you can manage on your own…or you know, till you can let me help,'' Maura smiled.

They had a quick chat with Patricia about how everything was getting along at the house. The woman had since moved in and had already started with the cleaning and laundry – transporting Jane and Maura's as well as the children's clothes to and from the hospital. Angela was also staying there for the moment so Pat wouldn't be lonely in the huge house all by herself.

''So I'll see you tomorrow,'' Patricia said minutes later as she headed out of the house.

''Sure. Thank you,'' Maura closed the door after her, and went back to join her wife in the living room.

''You know, if I knew we were going to wind up here I would have left our earlier escapade for now''

''Well it's not like we knew Korsak was going to suggest meeting up here to talk''

They both turned sombre, but before more could be said the doorbell rang. Maura briskly went to answer it, albeit on shaky feet. Before her stood an anxious Korsak and nervous Frost.

Maura's heart sank. This can't be good, she thought.

She ushered the pair in, where they quickly exchanged unnecessary pleasantries with Jane, purposefully neglecting the reason for their visit for a few moments more.

''So uhhh we haven't looked into your case,'' Korsak began seriously.

''You haven't,'' Maura unconsciously moved to the edge of her seat.

''Not really''

''What do you mean, not really?'' the blonde asked.

''There is something we have to look into first, before we take this further - you know, with the sperm bank and all''

''I don't understand. Is there a problem we should know about?''

''In a way, yes. Well probably not a problem as such, but more like…a…situation''

''Korsak, you are going to have to be very specific about what you are referring to''

Maura and Korsak seemed to be having the conversation on their own as Jane and Frost sat quietly watching the two like one would a tennis match.

Korsak scratched his head. It was a lot easier when he suggested doing all the talking, now that he was actually here it seemed impossible.

''Whatever it is, sooner or later you are going to have to say it. You might as well just get to it,'' Jane's raspy voice broke through the air. ''What do you guys know that we should know?''

''When you explained to us the circumstances surrounding the…conception, it brought a few events to light. For Frost,'' Korsak gestured to the silent detective beside him. ''Turns out, the weekend before your insemination was that weekend, Jane, when Frost told you what happened between him and Amanda''

Maura immediately turned to Jane, ''what weekend? What are they talking about Jane?'' she half frantically asked her wife.

''Frost slept with Amanda that weekend, and he believes he was drugged,'' Korsak explained to Maura.

''I'm sorry but I'm not following. Frost was what?...and what does that have to do with this?'' she wasn't getting it.

Korsak sighed. ''He slept with Amanda, he has blank patches of the night, the following week Amanda helps you get pregnant, she disappears, and now you have three biracial babies,'' he spelt it out for Maura as simply as he could.

Maura turned back to Jane, and the look of understanding on her wife's face puzzled her even more. ''Do you understand any of this? Do you believe it?''

Jane and Frost were looking at each other, completely unreadable features marring their faces. Korsak nudged Frost a little bit and all the young detective could do was look at his shoes.

''Son of a bitch!'' Jane blurted.

''Jane,'' Korsak quickly intervened. ''This is all speculation at the moment. We think it's best to first run a DNA test before we get ahead of ourselves here.''

Jane bitterly chuckled. ''I cannot believe this''

''You actually believe this Jane?'' Maura stood up. Jane's 'cannot' translated to 'can'. ''Why would Amanda do such a thing? In any case, I picked up the sperm myself and when Amanda got here everything was all set up.''

''Can you hear yourself Maura?'' Jane's bitter words stopped the blonde dead in her tracks. ''Just stop and think for a minute ok. She came in here and went to the bathroom to prepare. Where you in the bathroom with her?''

''No but-''

''She knew exactly when we wanted to do this, and she waited that particular weekend to sleep with Frost. Who coincidentally remembers jack shit about that night''

''Korsak was right,'' Maura said calmly. ''The best thing is to first do a DNA test and pick things up from there''

''Can you just not be naïve for a second okay!'' Jane shouted.

''Hey!'' Frost barked back. Those were the first words that left his mouth since entering the house.

''No YOU don't get to fucking say anything,'' Jane pointed an accusing finger at him. ''Your recklessness is what's got us in this mess – getting piss drunk that-''

''Don't you dare act as if you didn't get drunk with us too,'' the younger man retorted.

''Yes I did. But I didn't go dishing out my sperm…or eggs or whatever to everyone,'' she flailed her hand.

''I was tricked into this Jane. You think I wanted this?''

Both Korsak and Maura wanted to interject but found themselves still and unable to speak.

''Bullshit Frost. You should have used better judgement''

''I tried to tell you how I felt that day but you brushed me off''

''You should have just gotten to the fucking point to begin with''

''Look. You are as much of a victim as I am ok. You are the one who told us what happened and you needed our help to solve this''

''I needed your help to find out what happened. I didn't need a father for my children''

Korsak and Maura had still not uttered a word.

''You know what. Fuck you,'' Frost pointed back accusingly at Jane. ''How do I know that you and Amanda where not in this together huh?''

''Excuse me?''

''I said, how do I know that you guys didn't plan it and I'm the blind one in all of this?''

''How could you even think that?'' Jane's face was almost red with anger as she forcefully shot out of her seat.

''GET OUT!'' Maura suddenly yelled at Frost. But then everyone went still in that instant as Jane crumbled to floor - unconscious.
