"I'm not leaving her," she hears Jane's voice beside her, "I'm not leaving her ma," she feels a tug on her hand and her eyes flutter open.
"Jane?"
"Maura!" Her hand's being held, by Jane, "Hello, Maura!" Jane's smiling at her.
There's a woman behind Jane, and she has her hand on Jane's shoulder, and the woman is smiling at her.
She smiles.
She breathes.
Her hands aren't burning - Jane's holding them, Jane will be okay.
Her head isn't hurting.
She smiles.
"Hello Jane," she squeezes the hand holding onto hers, "Thank you for being my friend," she smiles as the woman nods and kisses the top of Jane's head.
"Is she your mother Jane?" She asks as she tries to sit up, her head isn't hurting, but there's a bandage around it.
The woman smiles as Jane pulls her closer to the bed, "Ma said she'll make you more cookies Maura, and you can have as many as you want this time. She's making more cookies, just for you and me," Jane's climbing onto her bed, and the woman is sitting down on her bed.
"Hello Maura," the woman lightly shakes her hand, "My name's Angela, do you want me to get your mothers in here?"
She smiles as a way of greeting, at the woman named Angela.
"My mothers?" She doesn't understand.
"Constance and Hope I presume?" Angela is shaking her head at Jane who is tugging at her hair.
"Yeah Maura, you have two mothers! You were calling for your mommy before you fainted, and so I told ma that you wanted your mommy," Jane's resting her head on her shoulder, "But ma told me that you have two mothers! Two Maura! You must have many cookies!" Jane's smiling at her.
"I want my mommy and you," she mumbles the words she remembers.
"See ma! I told you she said it!" Jane holds onto her hand, "I'm not leaving her, because she wants me and her mommy!" Jane's grinning at her.
She rests against Jane who's whispering words to her.
She laughs a little.
Angela smiles and stands, "I'll get them Maura, and Jane, she needs rest," Angela kisses Jane's forehead and hers. She smiles up at Jane's mother.
Jane keeps whispering jokes to her.
She laughs as Jane tickles her.
"Jane?"
"Yes Maura?"
"Thank you for being here, for being my friend," she holds onto Jane's hand as Jane compares their fingers.
"You're my best friend, and I'm protecting you," Jane smiles as Jane's hands cover hers, "You are there for me too Maura. Thank you," Jane holds onto her hand just as the door opens.
"It's okay to want both mommies Maura," Jane whispers, and she smiles.
