After what was supposed to be a lovely few family portrait photo takings, which turned stressful with a cranky newborn baby, Maura finally unlocked the apartment door and walked in with Jane pushing the stroller, containing a finally sleeping Justice, into the small place behind her, shutting and locking the door behind her.
Jane turned back to see Maura un-buckling Justice from the stroller and very gently picking her up.
"I'm just going to put her to bed," Maura informed her in a soft whisper and pressed a light kiss to her lips.
"Okay," replied Jane with a yawn and sat down on the couch after watching her lover carry her new daughter toward the bedroom.
Being so exhausted after the long first night at home with baby, Jane laid down, which she only planned just relaxing, but she ended up falling asleep.
Maura walked back into the living room to find her girlfriend asleep, causing her to smile. Not wanting to wake her, she tiptoed into the kitchen to make a late lunch. It would have to be quick though because Gabriel Dean was due to come and see Justice in just over hour.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-
With Jane's favourite sandwich made, Maura placed it on the coffee table before she leaned over and placed a kiss on the side of Jane's forehead.
Jane stirred. She stretched her arms down and cracked her ankles but she didn't
wake.
"Jane? Baby, wake up," whispered Maura, gently shaking her shoulder.
Unhappy at being disturbed, Jane groaned. But upon opening her eyes and seeing her girlfriend, she smiled."Hey... You okay? Is Justice okay?" she asked, sitting up.
"Yeah, I'm okay, sweetie. And Justice is still asleep. She'll probably wake to be fed soon though," Maura assured her and picked up the plate from the table. "I made you some lunch." She passed it to Jane. "Unfortunately Dean is due in an hour. So you might want to eat then feed Justice. Okay?" she said, caressing Jane's cheek.
Sighing, Rizzoli nodded. "Thanks," she said softly and began to eat. Although she wanted Justice to be able to know her father, she couldn't help but hate the fact that it was Gabriel Dean. And hate the fact that he hadn't just stayed away. She was happy with Maura. Happy with the little family which had formed. Herself, Maura and Justice. Why did Gabriel Dean have to come and ruin it?
As soon as Jane stepped into her bedroom to feed and change her daughter, she heard someone knock on the front door, causing her to sigh. She bit her bottom lip and walked over to the white bassinet, which contained her whimpering baby. If she wasn't quick, those whimpers would turn into screams of hunger fast.
"Hi, sweetie," Jane cooed as she picked up the child, still dressed in her tiny black skirt and purple top. "It's okay, Mommy is about to feed you now," she assured Justice as she sat down on the bed and got comfortable enough to nurse her.
Hearing the knock on the wooden door, even caused Maura to sigh as she got up to answer it. Her thoughts were mostly the same as Jane's. But she also thought why he had only just surfaced, just hours after Justice's birth. Jane had tried to call him multiple times up until the week before Justice was born. Jane had tried to hide it from Maura but Maura knew, she just decided to ignore it, being that Gabriel was the source of the sperm that helped Justice to now exist. But if he tried to take that beautiful baby girl from her mother, then there would be Hell to pay. Maura would make sure of it. And being Chief Medical Examiner, she'd know how to do it without being caught.
She opened the door to see Gabriel dressed casually in dark blue jeans and a gray tee. "Jane is just nursing Justice. So you'll have to wait a bit," she informed him as she reluctantly let him into Jane's apartment.
Agent Dean furrowed his brows as he walked in. "She's only breastfeeding. Why can't I go in there?"
Opening her mouth, Maura went to respond but the sound of Jane's voice bet her to the punch.
"You can come in, Gabriel!" Jane called, just loud enough for them to hear her from living room. She didn't want to upset a feeding Justice so she couldn't call too loudly.
Dean smirked at Maura and headed into the bedroom, in which, his and Jane's daughter had been conceived. Upon reaching the door, he couldn't help but smile at the sight of Detective Jane Angela Rizzoli breastfeeding. He never thought that he would see the day.
Rubbing her daughter's back as she continued to suckle sustenance from her breast, Jane groaned. "Pick up your damn jaw and stop starin' would ya?"
Gabriel cleared his throat and walked up to the bed, sitting at the foot of it, by Jane's feet.
The room was silent for a few moments except for the sounds of the newborn's suckling, until Jane spoke up.
"Why now?" she asked, refusing to look up at him from their child.
Dean replied, "What do you mean?"
Finally Jane looked up. "You know exactly what I mean, Gabriel. I tried to call you numerous times. I could never get a hold of you. Then suddenly you come the day after our child is born, the day I bring her home from the hospital. After you heard it travel around Law Enforcement offices. So I ask again. Why now?"
Gabriel sighed and leaned over, running a hand softly over Justice's silky black downy hair. "Cause I wanted to see you... Meet my child..." He heard Jane sniffle and he continued. "Don't worry, Jane. I have no plans on taking her from you. Just please let me see her occasionally. Let her know who I am... Let me give her presents. Maybe take her to the zoo or something on her birthday."
A small smile crept up on Jane's face. "You have a deal. But I want it written on a legal document. Signed by both our lawyers. I don't want to get fucked over. Not that I'm saying you would," she said, taking a sleepy and full bellied Justice away from her breast. "Wanna burp her?"
"Sure," replied the agent. "But then I have to go. I'll be in touch with lawyer and get back into contact with you... Okay?" He took his daughter and looked her over before she began to cry out in discomfort. He put her up to shoulder as Jane fixed herself up and placed a burp rag on his shoulder. "She's so beautiful, Jane. She looks so much like you... We did good," he whispered, rubbing and patting the infant's back in an attempt to bring up the gas.
Jane smiled. "We did. Now Maura and I are going to do good raising her. But I promise you, she'll know you as Daddy. But she'll live with Mommy and Momma," Jane whispered back and watched the father of her baby girl burp her. Even though she was happy in this moment, she couldn't wait to cuddle up with Maura, with Baby Rizzoli laying on her chest. She just had to wait for Justice to burp, so Dean would past her back to her, then he would leave.
A weight had been lifted off her chest. She just hoped he was telling her the real deal.
