A/N: There's a song in this. I highly recommend listening to "For Two" by Kat Edmonson. It's available on Spotify.

Jane sat in the waiting room and alternated between making silly faces at her daughter and anxiously bouncing her knee. The six week mark had arrived and today could be the end of the, what was it now, two and half month dry spell? Ok, it wasn't all dry, she'd relieved herself a few times and more recently in front of her wife, but it wasn't the same. It wasn't the same as feeling Maura against her, beneath her, inside her, around her. She missed the sounds that escaped her wife's lips, the way her body moved and reacted to even the lightest of touches. She wanted that intimacy back. Not to say it didn't exist currently, it just wasn't the same. As much as she wanted it back, part of her felt guilty to assume that Maura would be ready just because the doctor's gave her the go ahead.

Thankfully, Jane was rescued from her thoughts when Maura emerged from the exam room. Jane stood up, greeted her with a smile and wrapped her hands around Maura's waist.

"So?" Jane said as she squeezed her wife's hips. "How'd it go?"

Maura smiled at her wife before placing a chaste kiss on her lips.

"All cleared for active duty, detective."

Later that day, Jane found her girls in their yoga/boxing room. She couldn't help but smile at the sight: Lu had her back to the mat and was looking up (and smiling) at her mommy who was in a downward facing dog pose above her. Maura leaned in and gave her daughter kisses all over her tummy and cheeks.

Jane could practically feel her heart melting. She made her way into the room and laid down on the mat next to them, happy to watch as Maura continued with a few more kisses before she moved into child's pose while her hands tickled Lu's feet. Maura tilted her head to the side in a silent greeting to her wife before she repeated the set of poses. Jane closed her eyes and smiled, content with listening to sounds of her baby gurgling and the smooching noise Maura made with each kiss.

When she opened her eyes again, Maura was hovering above her, mimicking the actions she had just completed with her daughter. Maura kissed her sweetly before she lowered herself on top of Jane, straddling her hips.

"What brings you here?" She asked as she reached over to grab Lu and laid her down on Jane's chest. "Are you here to do yoga with us or did you just want some downward doggie kisses?" She asked in a voice reserved only for her baby.

"Both?"

"Yeah right."

Jane laughed and brought her hands up to rest on Lu's tummy, tickling her. Lu grinned up at Maura.

"Is mama making you smile?" Maura cooed and leaned in to rub her nose against Lu's. She moved her hands to poke at Jane's sides, which caused her to squirm.

"Alright, alright, you got me!" Jane said through her laughter. "I didn't come in here for either of those things, but the doggie kisses were a nice surprise."

Maura stopped her actions and kissed Jane's cheek before sitting up again.

"I came in here to ask if you'd like to go out tonight. Just the two of us," Jane said and noticed Maura's mouth open. Jane continued after she sensed the question Maura was about to ask, "I already asked my Ma and she's more than happy to have some gramma time. I just thought maybe it would be nice to get out of the house and have some time together. It's been a while. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love every moment of this," she said, gesturing to the three of them, "but I kinda miss you," she said with a blush.

Maura smiled down at her, what a softie. "I kinda miss you, too. I would love that, Jane."

"Yeah?"

"Yes. A date night sounds wonderful. What did you have in mind? Nothing too fancy I hope? I don't know if I have the energy to get all dolled up."

"Maura. Have you met me?"

"True," she said with a laugh.

"Nothing fancy, maybe a step up from casual, but that's all I'm gonna tell you."

"Why am I not surprised?" Maura said. "How much time do I have?"

Jane looked down at her watch. "About two and a half hours."

"What?!"

"Oh come on, Maur. That's plenty of time!"

"Maybe pre-baby it was, but now, not only do I need to get myself ready, I need to feed Lu, pump, make sure Angela has everything she—"

"Relax. This night is not supposed to be stressful, ok? It'll be fine," she replied and slowly sat up as Maura moved to get off of her. "You go shower, I'll put Lu down for a quick nap and get a bag ready for my mom, alright? And besides, you know she lives behind us? She can come in here if she needs anything."

"You're right, you're right," Maura said. "Thank you."

"Of course. Now go," Jane replied and grabbed Lu as Maura stood to make her way to their bedroom.

An hour and half later, after showering and applying her makeup, Maura rested against the headboard, her robe opened just enough for Luna to latch onto one breast while she tried to figure out the best way to pump from the other.

"Jane?" She called.

"Yeah?" Jane yelled back from the bathroom.

"Can you… do you think maybe you could help me?"

Jane emerged from the bathroom in dark jeans and dark t-shirt.

"Of course," she said and plopped down in front of Maura on the bed. "What can I do?"

Maura looked down at the manual breast pump in her hand before looking up at Jane. "Pump me?"

"Thank god you are holding that thing, otherwise I would've gotten the wrong impression," Jane replied with a smirk.

"Ha. Ha. Ha."

"Give it to me," she said as Maura handed her the object. "What do I do?"

"Just put your thumb here," Maura instructed, "and squeeze." Jane tested it out a couple of times. "You can go faster than that if you'd like. It doesn't hurt."

"I hope no one's listening in on the baby monitor," Jane said with a laugh, "this sounds like a bad porno or something." She adjusted her voice to go as high it would (which wasn't very) and said, "Pump me, baby. Faster! Just put your thumb right there and..."

They bursted into laughter and continued until they were both crying. By the time they were able to compose themselves, Luna was asleep and a full bottle of milk was procured.

At seven on the dot, Angela arrived to pick up her grandbaby, eager to shower her with kisses. Even though they lived a foot away from each other, Angela insisted on setting up a room in the guest house just for Luna, complete with every little thing she might need. Totally unnecessary, but once Angela Rizzoli had her mind set on something, it was almost impossible to talk her out of it.

"There's pumped milk in the fridge and a bottle or two in the freezer as well. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call us, ok?"

"Maura, honey, I've had three babies of my own. I think I can handle it, sweetheart," Angela reassured her.

"Hey ma, give her some slack alright?" Jane said as she entered the kitchen. "It's our first time leaving her with someone aside from each other, we can be a little a nervous. Even if it is you."

"I promise. I'll call you if I need anything, but it's not likely, alright? Now go! Enjoy yourselves!" She said over her shoulder as she made her way to the back door.

"Wait!" Maura yelled and Angela turned around with Lu in her arms. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell. I just… let me say goodbye?"

Angela sighed, but couldn't help but smile. "Of course," she said as she handed her granddaughter over.

"Goodbye, sweetheart," she said in a soft voice, "I love you so much." Maura kissed the top of her head before handing her back to Angela.

"Aw, Maur. Don't," Jane said when she noticed Maura get all teary-eyed.

"I know, I know! I can't help it," Maura replied as she dabbed her eyes.

Jane smiled and walked over to kiss Luna's cheek. "Bye peanut."

"We should be back by 11," she said to her mom.

"Oh don't be silly," Angela replied. "I'll keep her overnight. You two enjoy a night of sleep."

"What? Oh no, Angela, we couldn't possibly—"

"Please, dear. I insist."

"But—"

"No buts."

Jane and Maura exchanged looks.

"At least let me feed her when we get back?"

"Deal."

"You look sexy," Maura said playfully as they both got out of the car. She had just noticed Jane's outfit choice: dark jeans, black boots and a leather jacket. So sexy.

"Why thank you," Jane replied. "As do you," she said, taking in the sight next her. Maura was wearing a simple black v-neck dress with quarter length sleeves, matching flats and a decorative scarf. Jane couldn't believe this woman had given birth just six weeks ago.

"Thank you," Maura said as she reached out to hold Jane's hand. "Will you tell me where we're going now?"

"Nope."

They continued walking down the street and turned a corner before Jane stopped in front of their destination.

Maura gasped when she realized where they were. She turned to her wife and squeezed her hand excitedly. "We haven't been here in years."

"I know," Jane replied with a smile, "That's why I thought it would be the perfect spot."

They made their way through the entrance and walked down a flight of stairs until they reached the restaurant. It was a little hole-in-the-wall basement venue with amazing food and, on the weekends, turned into a little jazz lounge with local artists. The lighting was dim and the atmosphere was energetic. The couple used to go there quite a bit when they were still dating, partly because they wouldn't run into anyone they knew, but mostly because it was so much fun.

The two were seated at a small, rounded booth with a perfect view of the stage where the next group was setting up to perform.

Maura snuggled up next to Jane's side and whispered, "This is perfect, Jane. Thank you."

Jane smiled and kissed the top of Maura's head. "You're welcome. I'm glad you like it."

A few hours had passed, appetizers, entrees and desserts devoured. The two were cozied up in their booth as they watched the the band play.

"This is really nice," Jane said and squeezed Maura's hand.

Maura moved her head from where it had been resting on Jane's shoulder and looked up at her wife. She kissed her before saying, "It is. I didn't realize how much I missed just being with you. Like you said earlier, it's wonderful when we're having mommy and baby time, but it's not the…" her voice trailed off as the beginning notes of the next song started to play.

"Is that…" she trailed off again as she looked toward the band.

"What?"

"Shh."

Jane also turned to look at the band and listen to lyrics.

And as they talked the hours away
They knew. They knew.

It was their song. The first song they danced to as a married couple.

"Did you plan this?" Maura asked as she turned her attention back to Jane.

And as the night became the day
They knew. They knew.

"I wish I did," Jane replied with a smile.

"Dance with me?" Maura asked as she gently tugged on Jane's arm. If it were any other song, Jane would've put up a fight, but with the look on Maura's face and the song pulling her back to their wedding night, she couldn't resist. She let Maura lead the way to the small dance floor.

They were the only couple dancing and neither of them cared.

That nothing would be the same
And nothing would ever change
And everything they'd ever do
Now one would be for two

Maura draped her arms around Jane's shoulders and rested her head against her chest. Jane hugged her close around the waist and closed her eyes, letting her mind fill with memories of their wedding.

They said the words the day they wed
I do and I do
And understood the words they said were true
So true

"I love you," Maura whispered, her voice shaky with emotion.

Jane pulled her closer (if that was even possible) and kissed her head. "I love you, too."

That nothing would be the same
And nothing would ever change
And everything they'd ever do
Now one would be for two

And everything they'd ever do
Now one would be for two

Now one would be for two

They continued dancing until the very last note echoed through the room. So caught up in their own little world, they didn't notice the clapping and cheering as they kissed.

Pulling back, Maura looked at Jane and said, "Take me home."

xxxx

They stumbled through their front entrance and Jane gently pushed Maura back against the door to trail kisses down her sensitive neck. Maura couldn't help but gasp at the sensation. It had been far too long.

Jane returned her attention to Maura's lips and slid in her tongue. They both moaned and Maura pulled her closer.

After a few minutes, Maura pulled away. "Wait, wait," she said out of breath.

"What is it?" Jane asked.

"I need to feed Lu."

Jane let out a frustrated noise before she nodded and said, "Yeah, yeah. You're right," and reluctantly let go of her wife.

"But we're not done here!" She yelled as Maura walked to the back door.

Maura shot a glance over her shoulder. "Twenty minutes. Bedroom," she replied with a smirk and headed out the door.

Jane was giddy with anticipation. She ran up the stairs two at a time.

After feeding her daughter and reminding Angela that there was extra pumped milk in the freezer, Maura returned to the main house and discarded her scarf on one of the hooks near the door. She quietly made her way up the staircase, feeling both excited and nervous about the night ahead of her.

When she reached the bedroom, Jane had removed her jacket, jeans and boots and was sitting back against the headboard in nothing but a t-shirt and underwear. She smiled when Maura walked in.

The bed was freshly made and the lights were off, except for the two on the nightstands. These two didn't require any mood setting.

Maura made her way over to bed and hopped on top of Jane, straddling her waist. Jane leaned back against the headboard and looked at Maura, gripping her hips.

"Now where were we?" Maura asked in a low voice as she leaned forward and resumed their kissing.

They continued on for a while, slowly getting reacquainted with one another. Getting used to the sensation of their tongues touching, teeth biting, hands roaming. Jane moaned as one of Maura's hands gently tangled in her hair, the other slipped under her t-shirt and caressed the warm skin of her abdomen.

Jane's hands had both slid up Maura's thighs and found themselves on her ass. She squeezed roughly and Maura let out a gasp. Jane took the opportunity to latch her mouth onto Maura's neck and sucked on that specific spot that drove her wife crazy. She squeezed harder when Maura made a noise, something between a whimper and a moan. Damn had she missed that sound.

Her mouth traveled lower until it reached Maura's collarbone. She bit down gently and Maura rolled her hips. Jane removed one hand from beneath Maura's dress and brought it around to her back. Her fingers quickly found the zipper and she pulled it down slowly.

Before she could slide it off her wife's shoulders, Maura stopped her.

"Wait," she said as she tried to control her breathing, "maybe we should turn off of the lights? And get under the covers?" Her voice was shaky.

Jane stilled her hands and dropped them down to Maura's waist. She rested her head back against the headboard and studied Maura's face. They never turned the lights off.

After a while, she reached up and gently tucked Maura's hair behind her ears before grabbing Maura's hands, giving them a comforting squeeze.

"Hey," she said in a soft voice, "what's wrong?"

"I…" Maura bites her lip and looks down at their hands. "I'm nervous," she admits in a soft voice. "I mean, I'm ready. I want this to happen, but…" she paused to sort out her thoughts, "things are… different. My body doesn't look the same as before. I've only just started up again with yoga and—" she stopped when Jane kissed her hand.

"Honey," Jane said in a voice she only used for Maura, "You're beautiful." The words left her mouth like they were the truest and easiest thing she'd ever said.

Maura's head quickly tilted up to look at her. Something between disbelief and gratitude on her face.

"You're so beautiful," Jane repeated, "and you just had a baby. Our baby." She paused to smile at Maura and to place her hands on her stomach. "Your body made a baby, Maur, and that's beautiful."

"Jane," Maura whispered, her voice full of emotion.

"Maura I love you, stretch marks and all. Let me see you, please? Let me remind you how incredibly beautiful I think you are, ok?" She asked as she rested her hands on Maura's cheeks.

"Please?" She asked again.

Maura smiled and nodded her head before she leaned in to kiss her wife. "I love you so much, Jane."

"I know," Jane said between kisses, "I love you, too."

They kissed for a few minutes longer before Jane's hands settled on Maura's thighs. She looked to Maura once again for approval before she slowly pulled the dress up and over her wife's head. Maura nervously watched Jane's eyes as they roamed over her body. Even after Jane's heartfelt words, she couldn't fight the hint of nerves that still lingered.

Jane's hands gently trailed up her back and paused at her bra.

"Do you want to leave this on?" She asked, knowing how tender and sore they could be.

And in that moment, the fear that Jane would judge her, or somehow feel disappointed, disappeared. This woman was the love of her life. How could she be so silly to think that Jane would ever look at her with anything but love and respect? She couldn't help the tears that trickled down her cheeks at the thoughtfulness.

She nodded.

"Ok," Jane said with an understanding smile and gently repositioned them until Maura was lying flat on her back with Jane straddling her waist.

Jane lifted her own shirt up and over her head before she looked down at her wife. She rubbed her thumbs over Maura's tear stained cheeks.

"Are you alright?" She asked.

Maura nodded. "I just love you so much and I feel very lucky to have you."

"Me too," Jane replied simply and honestly before she leaned in for a kiss.

The rest of her movements were slow and sweet and gentle. She took her time as she kissed her favorite freckles, watched goose bumps form on Maura's chest when she nipped at her collarbone, listened to the breathy sighs of pleasure that escaped Maura's lips when her tongue trailed along the expanse of her neck. She smiled into another kiss before she slowly moved down her wife's body.

She shifted herself down the bed and settled between Maura's legs. Jane placed her right elbow next to Maura's hip and rested her head against her palm. Maura watched her curiously as Jane reached out with her left hand and to softly traced her fingertips over every stretch mark. Most of the them were light and blended with Maura's skin, some were different shades of pink and Jane could feel the small ridges beneath her fingers.

"So beautiful," she whispered before she kissed the area around Maura's bellybutton.

Maura, as hard she tried, couldn't keep her tears at bay. She let them roll down her cheeks as her wife continued on a sweet exploration of her body.

Several moments later, Jane crawled back up Maura's body and rested on top of her. She propped herself up on an elbow. They kissed and Jane slowly rolled her hips against Maura's thigh.

Jane's left hand traveled down Maura's torso and stopped just as her fingertips touched the fabric of her underwear. She paused and pulled away from their kiss when she felt Maura flinch against her touch.

"I'll be gentle, I promise," Jane whispered and kissed the corner of Maura's mouth.

Maura nodded and replied, "I trust you."

With that, Jane slipped her hand beneath the fabric. She was surprised at what she felt. Or rather, what she didn't feel. She looked at Maura.

"What?"

"Nothing, it's just…"

Maura slipped her own hand beneath the cotton barrier and noticed the problem.

"Jane I'm sorry," she said softly. "It's not that I'm not aroused, it's just that breastfeeding and hormones can sometimes affect the body's...natural lubricant," she said, knowing the term would make Jane cringe. But it didn't.

"Shh. Maura, honey. It's okay," she said with a smile. "You don't need to apologize. We don't need to go that far tonight."

Maura was in awe (yet again) at her wife's understanding.

Jane kissed her cheek and moved her fingers to rest on Maura's bundle of nerves. "Is this ok?" She asked as her fingers started to gently move in a circular motion.

Maura gasped and nodded her head; her hands wrapped around Jane to hold her closer as they kissed.

Jane continued to work her fingers as her tongue slid against Maura's and her hips rocked forward. It only took a few more motions of her hand before Maura cried out in pleasure. Jane collapsed next to her and pulled Maura close.

It wasn't the most mind-blowing orgasm Maura had ever had, but it didn't matter. That wasn't what it was about. It was about being close again, letting Jane see her and touch her. It was about trust. It was about love.

Jane felt a tear drop roll down her chest as Maura sniffled against her.

"Thank you," Maura whispered, "for being so gentle and understanding."

"Of course, Maur. I love you."

"I love you."

xxxx

Eight hours later, Maura was the first to wake up. She wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry at the feeling of being well-rested for the first time in months. So instead, she did neither and opted for a better way to start her morning and utilize the energy she felt. She quietly slid beneath the covers, removed an article of clothing and peppered kisses along the inside of Jane's thighs.

"Mmmpf," Jane mumbled and, still half-asleep, shifted her legs to give Maura more room.

Maura took the opportunity to run her tongue along her center.

That got Jane up. She quickly pulled the blanket off of her and moaned at the sight of her wife between her legs.

Maura laughed against her, the vibrations causing Jane to thread a hand through Maura's hair.

"Fuck," she panted.

"Good morning," Maura replied smugly before continuing her actions.

"Great morning," Jane sighed.
