Chapter 8 :

As they planned Maura and Jane spent the rest of the morning swimming, and enjoying the sun on their private beach. Around 1 pm, it was time for them to get some lunch.

"You know I'm not really hungry for food right now." Jane whispered kissing the back of Maura's neck while gently caressing her bare belly.

Jane felt so much better after finally talking about her pain with Maura. Also she felt so happy to see Maura in her swimming suit, enjoying herself without being preoccupied by what people would say.

"I can imagine that, I interrupted you earlier…" Maura smirked feeling shivers down her spine.

"It's ok , we needed to talk, but right now, I don't really want to talk, so we can either take this to the bedroom or I can take right here right now on the kitchen's table." Jane said moving her hands towards Maura's inner thighs.

"How about if we wait until our wedding night?" Maura suggested scared of Jane's reaction.

They just started physically reconnecting and she was asking her to wait more…

"Would you really like that?" Jane asked rising her eyebrows.

"I think I want our first time with my new body to be special, but I would understand if you refused, we hadn't had sex in weeks …."

"No it's alright, I told you I would wait for you to be ready, it actually makes sense . "

"I feel like I'm being selfish again." Maura said looking down.

"You're not, I want this to be perfect and I want our wedding night to be perfect so why not combine the two?" Jane said holding her tight, her arms around her waist.

The truth was Jane was really in need of some action, but she couldn't refuse anything to Maura. Actually she was never able to refuse her anything, all Maura needed was to look at her pouting to make her do anything she wanted. Now that Jane had almost lost her she was even more unable of refusing her anything.

"Thank you, this mean a lot to me …"

"You're welcome." Jane smiled kissing her forehead.

"So, now that we're talking about our future there are a few things we need to discuss." Maura said putting her serious face on.

"Alright, but can we please do it over lunch, if I can eat you up, I still need to feed on something." Jane joked reaching for the fridge.

"I think we have some rest of take out from last night."

"Yes we do, go settle down outside alright. I will take care of it."

"Alright thank you."

A few minutes later came out with their dinner worried about all the ideas Maura probably already had regarding their wedding. She knew that Maura would probably want a princess wedding, that would take months to plan and would cost a small fortune, but again, all she wanted was to make her happy.

"Thank you gentleman." Maura said as Jane brought her lunch on the table.

"You're welcome, so tell me, how painful is planning this wedding going to be for me?"

"Well before we talk about the wedding I would like to ask you something."

"Alright."

"Do you want to us to have children?"

"Yes, of course, I would like at least two, you know as much Frankie Jr annoys me, it's great to have a sibling ."

"I know I always wanted to have a big sister to give me advice. I don't know how to ask you this…" Maura says bitten her lower lip.

"You're wondering if I would prefer to adopt or to have one of us carrying it right?"

"Yes, I always imagined that you wouldn't carry it because your line of work is dangerous…"

"Yes, I wouldn't want to take any risk, and besides seeing you pregnant might just be the most incredible thing I would ever experience."

"About that, you know that cancer is genetic, I'm sure if I check my biological mother's family, if only I knew her, I would find a numbers of cancers, with my aunts, cousins…"

"And you're scared to pass the gene to our child." Jane continued reaching out for Maura's hand.

"I am, I'm sorry Jane, I mean I know how much you would like see me pregnant but I don't know if we can afford to tempt faith like this."

"You're right I would love to see you pregnant, to see your belly getting bigger and and to feel our child growing inside of you. It must be a very fulfilling experience and I'm sorry that having cancer is going to keep you from experiencing it."

"Well, I never said I couldn't get pregnant. I really want to experience it, you're right feeling our baby growing inside of me, carrying her or him for 9 months, having you treat me like a princess until I give birth would be the most incredible experience of our lives. "

"Are you suggesting that we take the risk to have a girl and to pass the gene to her?"

"No, I wouldn't want to take that risk, but we could use another's woman's egg…"

"Egg donation?"

"Yes, that way I could carry the child but because the child wouldn't be linked to me biologically ,which of course doesn't matter to me , I wouldn't pass any bad genes to him or her ."

"It doesn't matter for me either, as long as the child is healthy we can either adopt or use someone else's egg like sterile couples do I guess."

"Well we could use one of your eggs, so the child would be yours..."

"That would be great sweetie, but remember, you're still recovering, we have all the time in the world to think about having children. I want you to be completely healthy before you get pregnant alright?"

"Alright..."

Jane and Maura enjoyed their lunch talking about the wedding. Actually Maura was doing all the talking, Jane was thinking about having kids . Before Maura got sick they never really discussed getting married or having children, but almost loosing her made her realize how important she was for her and that she couldn't waste anymore time. Jane smiled at the thought of Maura carrying her child. At first she found that idea a bit strange, she actually didn't care about being genetically related to that child, but she was grateful Maura asked her.

2 months later, Maura and Jane got married on that beach right in front of their Hampton's house.

Unlike Jane was expected Maura actually planned a small and intimate wedding, no fuss, just their parents and close friends.

After everything they went through together getting married felt like that most natural thing in the world. Obviously they didn't need a piece of papers or rings ro know they were going to spend the rest of their lives together or that they were soul mates. After the intimate ceremony the couple flew to hawaii for their honeymoon where they spent 15 days enjoying the sun and the beach, making love and drinking cocktails.

As Maura had required they waited until their wedding night to make love and it was worth it. Jane did everything she could to make Maura comfortable, which wasn't easy. Even if Maura knew Jane loved her unconditionally it was still hard for her to be naked in front of her wife. So Jane always made sure to turn off the lights and not to touch Maura's chest too much which made things slightly better for her.

About a month after returning from their honeymoon Maura decided to go back to work, and of course Jane was delighted to have her around again, not that she didn't like the new ME, but it was definitely not the same.

About a year after getting married Jane and Maura decided to try to have a baby. As Maura had suggested it they decided to use Jane's eggs, and about 6 months later after 2 IVF procedures Maura got pregnant and 9 months later she gave birth to a baby girl, Lilla Jane Rizzoli.

Looking at their daughter everyday Maura and Jane felt like the luckiest couple in the world. Thinking that Maura almost died made them realize how short life was and that they had to live it fully.

Maura never got the reconstructive surgery, she considered it several times, but decided not to go trough with it.

Maura Isles- Rizzoli had always been very careful with her appearance and and would have never imagined living with one breast. But being with Jane, hearing her telling her how beautiful she was day after day, Maura started to pay less attention to her physical appearance. Obviously she was still shopping in the most expensive stores in the country, but her appearance wasn't as much important as it used to be.

At first being naked in Jane's arms was difficult for her, it was actually quite painful, but after hearing Jane telling her how sexy and attractive she was every time they made love, Maura, small by small started to feel more confident and comfortable with her missing breast. After a while non of them even paid attention to it, or to the scar, it just became part of Maura.

Maura never felt the need to have the surgery because for the first time in her life she didn't care about what other people said. The only thing that mattered was that Jane found her beautiful. It gave her the confidence she needed to accept herself and once she did there was no need for her to change. As Jane always said : Why mess with perfection?
