Angela is in the kitchen, when Maura returns from work. Angela stands over a pot of boiling water. Maura places her purse on the island, and takes a seat on a stool, in front of the island.

"How was work, today?"

"Work was fine."

"You look exhausted."

"I am."

"Did you take any vitamins, today?"

"Yes. However, I have been informed that I am going to have to increase my vitamin intake."

"And why is that?"

Maura sighs. She digs into her purse, and pulls out some black and white photographs.

"I went to the doctor today," Maura reveals.

"How did it go?"

"You should see for yourself, I am still in disbelief," Maura admits, waving the sonogram pictures.

Angela takes the pictures from her. She studies the first picture carefully.

"Are there two of them?"

Maura nods, "Yes. Apparently, I am having twins."

"That's wonderful."

"I..."

"You what?"

"I am going to go for a walk."

"Don't go to far, dinner will be done in twenty minutes or so."

"Ok," Maura nods, in agreement, as she heads for the door.

Maura only makes it as far as her car. She climbs in. She turns the car on, and begins to drive. She finds herself at Jane's apartment. She knocks on the door. Jane opens the door.

"What?"

"Can I come in?"

"You look like a spider monkey, on crack, what's wrong?"

"If that's your way of saying I look anxious, I am."

"It is. Have a seat," Jane points to the couch.

"Ok," Maura agrees.

"What's wrong? Are you still freaked out about having twins?"

"Yes."

"That's why you're here?"

"Yes, and no."

"Ok. What's going on?"

"I need to tell you something."

"Ok," Jane takes a seat on the arm of the couch.

"I did something, and..." she trails off.

"And what?"

"I made a mistake."

"We all make mistakes."

"I don't want to do this on my own. I don't know if I can."

"I know. It's scary."

"Jane... I'm going to need a lot of help, all the help that I can get."

"I'm sure my mother has already offered her help."

"She has."

"And I'll be glad to help you, although I have no clue what I'm doing."

"That's the thing, I'm afraid that you won't want to."

"You're my best friend. Why wouldn't I?"

"Because you don't know the whole story."

"Ok?"

"I haven't been entirely truthful with you."

"About what?"

"There is a reason that I didn't tell you who the father is."

"I just assumed that you were protecting him."

"I was... I was protecting me."

"From what?"

"Your wrath."

"My wrath? I don't understand."

"I betrayed your trust."

"Maura, what are you talking about?"

"You asked me not to sleep with your brother."

"I remember."

"But, when I promised that, I already had."

"You slept with my brother?"

"Yes," Maura admits, guiltily.

Jane locks eyes with Maura. She feels the pit of her stomach twist into knots, "You're pregnant," Jane swallows hard.

"Yes," Maura nods.

"With twins," Jane adds.

"Yes."

"My brother's twins?"

"Yes."

"I can't believe you. I can't believe that you would sleep with my brother, after I specifically asked you not to."

"I didn't. It happened before."

"Why?"

"It's not like you think."

"He used you. He uses everyone in his life. But, you should have known better."

"It's not like you think."

"Really!" Jane replies in outrage.

"It wasn't just a one night stand. It was more than that," Maura reveals.

"It was more than one time?"

"It was, more."

"More?"

"We were dating."

"Dating? You were dating my brother? Are you freaking kidding me? Didn't you think that I had a right to know?"

"I wanted to wait, until I knew it was going to work out. There was no need to upset you, if it wasn't going to work."

"You're pregnant!"

"I ended it. I realized how much it would hurt you, if you knew, so I ended it," Maura telsl her, with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Are you crying?"

"No," Maura lies as a tear trickles down her face.

"You are. Why are you crying?"

"You're the only friend I have," she answers.

"That's not why you're crying."

"I..." Maura tries to wriggle out of the situation.

"You love him?"

"It doesn't matter, now."

"You love him, but you broke it off with him, because you were afraid that you would lose me as a friend?"

"I didn't know. I thought I would get over it."

"Have you?"

"No," she shakes her head.

"Does Tommy know?" Jane wonders.

"Yes," Maura confirms.

"I'm going to kill him."
