This idea was given to me by messermonroeforever125 a zillion years ago. But, since I seem to be on a one shot writing kick, I'm finally going to make it happen!

It's inspired by the song 'Hey, Kid' from the new musical If/Then. The musical is brilliant and I hope to see it once day because holy shiiiiit everything about the show is great. Give the song a listen!

Enjoy!

"Hey, kid," Jane whispered, eyes flicking up to Maura's face to check she was still sleeping. "So, your mommy is sleeping so I gotta whisper but I hope you can hear me in there," she continued, placing a gentle kiss to Maura's swollen stomach. "You've got about a week left in there but, oh boy is everyone excited to meet you."

Jane reached up to grab her pillow from the head of the bed, placing it under her head so she could continue her conversation with her child. Maura stirred slightly and Jane froze, praying her wife would remain asleep. When Maura settled and make no noise, Jane breathed softly and pressed a few quick kisses to her stomach.

"Whew," Jane smiled. "I thought mommy was gonna wake up and be a gumpy pants," Jane laughed softly. "I know that sometimes it doesn't seem like it, especially when mommy is crying or I'm complaining about the lack of junk food in our house, but we're all so excited that you're gonna be here soon. But kid, I gotta tell you that I'm a detective so I've met lots of bad and scary people in my life but if I said I wasn't scared of you, I'd be a big liar. I'm all macho and tough but inside I feel like I'm about to lose my shit."

"Watch your language around our child."

Jane's head snapped up, looking at Maura who still appeared to be sleeping.

"Hey," Jane greeted nervously. "I didn't mean to wake you. I just wanted to have a little one on one with our kiddo. I try to have a conversation with them every day."

"You didn't wake me," Maura said sleepily. "Your child enjoys playing soccer with my internal organs."

"Can I feel?" Jane asked excitedly.

"Of course," Maura smiled, loving her wife's excitement.

Jane placed her hands on Maura's stomach, moving them around until she felt the distinctive feeling of a small limb pressing against Maura's stomach followed quickly by another.

"Kid, you're really goin' to town in there," Jane laughed as she placed several kisses all over Maura's stomach. "But if you really wanna stick around for the next eighteen years, you better calm down."

The call came in while Jane is driving her and Frost back to the station after visiting a victim's family.

"Cailin, hey," Jane greeted.

"Jane, don't freak out, but Maura and I are at the hospital."

"What?" Jane asked, turning to Frost and mouthing Maura's name. "Cailin, is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine," Cailin explained. "I came over early this morning because I've got microbiology exam coming up and Maura was helping me study. Her water broke around 10am but going to the hospital right away would only stress everyone out. So we kept track of contractions and everything until it was time to get here. We're at Mass Gen, 4th floor, and your wife would really appreciate your presence."

"Yeah, of course," Jane said as she pressed down harder on the gas. "I'm gonna drop Frost off at the station and then get my ass to the hospital with lights and sirens. You tell Maura that I'm on my way, alright?"

"Alright," Cailin replied. "Drive safely, Jane."

"Always do," Jane replied before hanging her phone up and looking to Frost. "Her water broke this morning and they'd been keeping track of contractions until time. I'm gonna drop your ass off and then go get ready to meet my kid."

"Aw, man. The gift I ordered your kid hasn't come in the mail yet," Frost sighed.

"Frost, I don't think the kids gonna care that Uncle Frosty didn't give them a gift," Jane laughed as she pulled up in front of the station. "But her mommy will care if mama isn't there so get outta my car!"

"Give the doc my best!" he called, scrambling out of the car just before Jane peeled away from the curb.

Just as she promised, she turned her lights and sirens on and made it to Mass Gen as quickly as she could, running up the stairs to the 4th floor and quickly locating her wife.

"Hey," Jane said as she entered the room, watching Cailin help coax Maura through a particularly tough contraction, her hospital gown highlighting her swollen stomach.

"Hi," Cailin greeted, wincing as Maura gripped her hand tightly before letting her hand drop to the bed.

"Jane Clementine Rizzoli," Maura stated, turning to face Jane. "This is all your fault."

"Oh, boy," Jane sighed. "All the books said she was gonna be a grump and have gas but I've been here 10 seconds and this isn't even the worst part of labor," Jane chuckled as Cailin stood from her chair and motioned for Jane to sit beside her wife.

"This is your child I am about to push out of my body," Maura pointed out harshly, although she still laced her fingers with Jane's and gave a gentle squeeze.

"I know, baby. I know it's my egg that make our kid," Jane smiled. "But you wanted me to knock you up and that's kinda what we did. I totally accept that this is my fault but, Maur, we're gonna have a kid soon. A little, itty bitty human being who will be all ours. I'll gladly take blame for that."

"Soon?" Maura huffed. "Labor can last for hours, Jane."

"My mother says she was in labor with me for 18 hours," Cailin piped in.

"Really?" Maura asked, turning to face her half-sister. "Hope told me she was in labor with me for 18 hours, as well," she smiled.

"18 hours? Oh my god, kid, move your ass!"

Although doctors would brush it off as coincidence, Maura was in labor for 18 hours before she felt the body of her child pushed out of her and heard a wail fill the room.

"Jane," Maura gasped, sinking back against her wife who had been sitting behind her, acting as an anchor and comforting presence just as her pushing began.

"You did it," Jane beamed, kissing the back of Maura's head and anywhere else her lips could reach. "I'm so proud of you, baby. So, so proud of you. You're officially a mommy," she soothed the exhausted woman in front of her.

"You're a mama," Maura sighed.

"Detective, would you like to cut the umbilical cord?" the doctor asked.

"Can I cut it?" Jane asked Maura. "Or did you wanna do it?"

"You go cut it," Maura smiled. "I want you to be the one to tell me if we've got a boy or girl."

"I love you," Jane said excitedly as she managed to slide from her post behind Maura and walk to where the doctor was holding their child. "Oh, my goodness gracious," Jane said as she saw the infant in the doctor's arms.

"What is it?" Maura asked, attempting to prop herself up to see what Jane was talking about.

"Uh, it's just…Kinda disgusting to be honest," Jane admitted. "I mean, all goey and squirmy and stuff. I don't see the charm but, well, I know that you're alright," Jane said, her voice softening as she was handed the proper tools to cut the cord from her child. "There ya go, kid," Jane cooed as she cut the cord. "You're officially a big kid now."

"Jane," Maura said. "Daughter or son?" she asked hopefully.

Jane took one last glance at the squirming infant before the doctors whisked them away to be cleaned and clothed, quickly moving back to the bed to sit next to Maura and wrap an arm around her shoulders.

"A little girl," Jane whispered in Maura's ear, pressing a kiss to the side of Maura's head.

"Does she-"

"Have two eyebrows unlike her mama did when she was born? Yes," Jane smiled. "And lots of dark brown curls on her little head."

"Oh, Jane," Maura smiled. "Do you think she'll have your eyes, too?"

"I dunno. The donor dude had hazel eyes so maybe some sorta science voodoo will happen and she'll have eyes like you," Jane smiled.

"If she does, you're in trouble," Maura laughed. "You'll be putty in her hands."

"I think I already am," Jane admitted.

"Maura," a woman came in, carrying a purple bundle in her arms.

"Jennifer," Maura smiled as her long-time OB/GYN walked into the room. "Is that her?"

"This is your daughter," the red-head smiled. "All clean with ten toes, ten fingers, and wrapped in a special blanket courtesy of the best new mothers in Boston," she said as she handed the bundle to Maura. "I'll come back later with birth certificate stuff but you ladies are free to get to know your daughter."

"Thank you," Jane smiled as the woman slipped quietly from the room. "Oh, Maura," Jane said when she turned to look at her wife and daughter. "You look so good with her," she beamed. "So good."

"She's so perfect," Maura whispered, running a finger gently over her daughter's cheek. "Oh, it looks like your mama is gonna be in trouble," she said to the small infant when she opened her eyes, revealing hazel orbs.

"She's gonna own a pony by the time we get back to our house," Jane laughed. "What're ya thinking for her name?" Jane asked.

"Eleanor," Maura said, laughing when the small bundle in her arms made a gurgling noise.

"I think she likes it," Jane smiled. "Huh? You like the name Eleanor?" she asked her daughter. "You wanna be Eleanor Alexandra Rizzoli-Isles? It's quite a mouthful but I think it suits you."

"Eleanor Alexandra," Maura smiled at the name. "I think it suits her just fine."

"You did so good, Maura," Jane repeated. "I love you and I love her and I'm so proud of you."

"Would you like to hold her?" Maura asked. "She'll most likely want to at least attempt to nurse in a short while but I think she would like to meet her mama."

"Yeah, okay," Jane said, suddenly nervous to hold her daughter. "But, uh, gimme a hand here," she added. "Like, help me hold her until I get the hang of it."

"Okay," Maura smiled, turning slightly to gingerly place the purple bundle in Jane's arms, adjusting the detective's strong arms slightly before looking at her wife's face. "Seems you got the hang of it rather quickly."

"Seems like it," Jane said softy. "Hey, kid," she whispered to her daughter, staring off their first in person conversation the same was she started the conversations she'd had while the child was still inside of Maura. "It feels like I've known you forever," she smiled. "Like I've dreamt of you and wanted you all along," she continued, smiling wider when she felt Maura rest her head on her shoulder. "I promise you that whatever happens in this world, I'm gonna watch you and I'll protect you and we're all gonna be okay."

"We'll be better than okay," Maura said softly, scooting to snuggle deeper against Jane.

"Yeah, we will," Jane chuckled. "God, I just wanna scream and ring a gong or bang a drum," she laughed. "I'm so excited that you're here and I'm so excited to see all the things that you're gonna become. I know you're new to this whole life thing but your mom and you and me are gonna have so much fun. This life is what you make it, kid. And with your mommy, oh man. You're gonna be able to make life everything you want."

"Don't act like you're not already wrapped around her finger," Maura teased.

"Oh, shush mommy," Jane laughed, though she pressed a kiss to Maura's head. "Kid, my dear Eleanor, it makes my life to know that I helped make you. As a mama, I may not have a clue what I'm doing, but your mommy and I are gonna muddle through. We'll keep on trying until we make sure that you're the happiest daughter on the whole planet. If my idiot father can help raise 3 relatively normal kids and mommy's two daddy's helped make her, then we're gonna be just fine. In fact, we'll do better than they did. Ya wanna know why? Well, cause, my kid-"

"Our kid," Maura interrupted with a smie.

"Our kid," Jane repeated, a beaming smile on her face as she kissed her daughter's forehead and whispered. "I love you."

Certainly not my best work but it was more challenging than I anticipated. I hope at least one person enjoyed this!
