Frankie Stone Detective Large
Baby Files PArt 3 All was Quiet
The next few months flew past for Frankie who went back to work. With her sister around to check on Bianca daily before her rounds at the hospital she felt more secure in leaving her now eight months pregnant wife alone. The kids went back to school starting up in the fourth grade.
Bianca went in to work one day and was told to go home and not come back until the twins were on the outside of her. She thought she'd be okay she'd have the chance to catch up on her reading. However her mother had other ideas such as the addition of another set of rooms. Frankie agreed and now instead of peace and quiet she was met with round the clock hammering and power tool noises which were unfamiliar to her. She couldn't even take an afternoon nap without being disturbed.
The pregnant buisness woman rolled over on her side and covered her head with a pillow. So she never heard the tapping on her bedroom door. Or the footsteps which followed shortly after.
"Bianca?" The woman said loudly enough for the sleeping girl to hear.
Still she did not answer. "Bianca!" The voice tried again.
This time the person lifted the pillow gently off the woman's head. "Hey Bianca." Greeted the voice in a friendly manor.
The woman who had been driven insane the last few weeks at the sound of the construction crew rolled over and faced her harrasser. "If it's not Maggie Stone the blood pressure and sugar sargent. How may I help you today?"
"Ouch Bianca I'm hurt we're getting catty in our late stage of pregancy. I'm only here because Frankie asked me. " Maggie furrowed a brow at the last part of her sentence. "It's still weird that my sister is alive is that weird?"
Bianca pushed herself up toward the head of the bead in a setting position. "No, believe it or not it's still weird for me that I'm married to a 'dead' woman. So what first today the finger pricking or the arm bruising?" She asked tiredly.
"Neither actually I brought lunch and I had this time off today anyway so I thought we could share." Maggie answered waving a paper bag in the air.
"I don't know Maggie I don't want Frankie to get the wrong idea..." Bianca said unsure of what to do.
"I brought an extra large order of chili fries and a chocolate shake..." Maggie taunted with a grin.
Bianca grabbed the styrofoam beverage cup and sucked the straw until it filled her mouth with it's cholatey goodness. "Mmmm..." She uttered through closed eyes. "Alright lunch but don't get the wrong idea Maggie this is strictly between us as friends."
"Okay Frankie must be really jealous I was never so..."
Bianca rolled her eyes shoving a chili fry into her mouth. "Please Maggie don't start that contest with me. You were so jealous when we were together the maid couldn't smile at me without it being some big deal."
"Well can you blame me I wanted to keep you and we both know that you're gorgeous Bianca how was I supposed to compete with that?"
"First off you cheated on me and secondly there was never any competition to compete against Maggie you had me and you lost me plain and simple. But thank you for flattering me even though I'm the size of an oxen right now." Bianca retorted sipping her shake.
"Well you've got me there..Someone's enjoying their chocolate." Maggie said with a chuckle.
"Mmmhhmm...You know Frankie brought me one of these things everyday when my cravings first started. I haven't had one in awhile though thank you Maggie you will make someone very happy someday."
"You really mean that or is it the shake talking?"
Bianca smiled warmly at her ex now friend. "Yes I really do. We just weren't supposed to be that doesn't mean that end had come and then Kelly well so it didn't work when you find someone you'll both work to make it work I know...I know that's a song but it still applies. Don't give up she's out there. So what's next for you after you're done babysitting me that is?"
Maggie shook her head. "I was going to take the offer in New York but i'd have had to take a cut in my salary and I barely make ends meet as it is. So when my residency is through at Pv General I might try San Francisco or Seattle I really wanna work with kids AIDs patients Cancer patients I don't care I wanna make a difference."
Bianca took another forkful of chili fries into her mouth and once they were swallowed. "Ugh...I couldn't do that too much heartache though I hold applause for anyone who can. So have you spent much time with your mother?"
"No that's Frankie she can see the good in there somewhere but all I can see are the years of abuse she put us through with her 'habit' I don't think I'm that good of a human being yet." The twin replied.
While Bianca and Maggie were having lunch...
Frankie was doing nothing but paperwork all day long when a fellow officer hankered over her desk casting a large shadow.
"Can I help you?" She asked without looking up to see who it was.
"Yeah, I'm gettin' ready to head to the gym and none of these sissies will spar with me." He said extra loud so that the listeners in could get their earfull. "So what do ya' say detective Stone wanna be my sparring partner?"
Frankie finally finished her last folder of paperwork for the day and looked up. "Vito! Are you here harrassing all the female detectives or am I your chosen one for this question?"
The large Italian man smirked and scratched his shaved head. "You're the only one for today. But you know I'm getting promoted so soon I'll be able to harass the women in this department as much as I want. So what do ya' say think you're up for a friendly fight?"
The detective grinned and rubbed her hands together. "I think I can handle it let's go loser buys the winner a hot dog."
"You're on Stone."
A few minutes later in the sparring ring.
Frankie had changed into her basketball shorts and a tank she laced up her gloves and put her helmet on.
"Come on my granny could do this faster and she's got replacement hips Stone. I might have to order back to basic training if you keep up this pace." Vito taunted having already thrown on his boxing shorts and taken his shirt off revealing his six pack abs and muscular physique. He was gloved up and ready for a fight.
Frankie was ready after having an issue with her helmet strap. "Ready!"
"Finally." Vito replied sarcastically.
They entered the squared circle and began tossing punches at each other both missing at first.
Then the match heated up Vito got his opponant in the gut with a right jab. Frankie came back with a hit to the officer's shoulder. He shot at her with a hit to the face wich she barely missed by swaying to the left. Then before he could form an attack she sprung up and punched him in the eye knocking him back.
"Ya' know if you'd have worn a helmet that wouldn't have happened.." Frankie added with a smirk to the large man's already bruised ego. She offered a gloved hand to help him up. But he waved her off and stood on his own lunging at the detective awkwardly and falling on his face doing so.
Once he regained his footing Frankie slugged him again with an uppercut to the chin. Which knocked him out cold. The short woman hopped out of the ring and ungloved then removed her helmet. She turned to one of the rookies who's jaw was on the floor with shock. "You might wanna get him some ice he's gonna need it."
"Yes ma'am! But how did you..."
The short woman grinned. "It's not the size of the dog rookie." She simply answered and made her way to the locker room showers.
Later making her way out to her car Vito ran up to her with an ice pack on his eye. "Hey Frankie?"
"I see they finally restored your life signs...What can I do for you officer?" Frankie enquired still trying to hide her smug grin.
"I was wondering a bunch of the guys and well me we're all goin' out for the game tonight you wanna tag along?" He asked politely.
"Let me think about it I got a pregnant lady at home who's about two weeks away from her due date. If she's alright then I suppose you can count me in." Frankie replied.
Vito smiled happily. "Then I hope the kids are stayin' put so you can come later.."
"See ya'." Frankie said with a half wave sinking down into her car.
At home..
Bianca was standing over the stove happily stirring away at dinner well at least one part of it that is. When the oven timer sounded off with a loud ring. "Brady!" The busy woman yelled.
Moments later footsteps pounded down the steps. "Yes Mama Bianca?"
"Brady can you help me get something from the oven please?"
"Sure it smells good what is it?" The boy asked.
"Italian chicken now here put these on and I'll open the door for you. All you have to do is pull the pan out and set it on the counter." Bianca explained helping Brady get the large oven mitts on his small hands.
"Yeah."
"Okay here we go." Bianca pulled down the oven door and noticed a slight twinge in her abdomen but thought it was just from not using alot of her muscles in the last few months and shook it off. Watching the little boy carefully lift the pan and set it onto the island counter.
"Thank son."
"You're welcome." The boy nodded.
As it happened little Adam was spending the night having befriended Brady as well as his sister. So when Bianca's eyes went wide and Brady panicked and yelled for the other kids to come quick Adam was the first down the stairs taking them two at a time.
"What's up?" The other boy asked non chalantly.
"I don't know her eyes went wide and now she's bent over the counter." Brady replied.
"Oh no why does this always happen...Why am I always around when moms decide to have a baby?" Adam asked without getting an answer.
"Mom!" Miranda exclaimed and ran to the woman. "Help me get her over to the chairs?"
"Right." The boys both responded.
About that time Frankie came through the back door. "Mmmm...Dinner smells...Bianca!" She exclaimed.
"I uh...Think it's time babe." Bianca said breathing through a contraction.
"Alright Brady get the suitcase out of the downstairs closet and put it in the backseat of the car. Miranda I need you to be a big girl for me and call the doctor on my cell." Frankie brought up the man's number and handed the girl the phone. "Tell him we're headed to the hospital now. Adam I need you to use your muscles and help me walk Bianca to the car can you do that?"
"Check." Adam answered taking Bianca's hand and putting it over shoulder.
"Right okay Bianca on three you're gonna stand and if you feel any pain lean on us. Ready one ,two,...three and go. Oh and everybody in the car. Miranda report?"
"The doctor is on his way he said he'd meet you there."
"The bag is in the car."
Once the brood got Bianca in the car they were off.
Minutes later at the hospital Frankie ran through the electronic doors and grabbed a wheel chair from the lobby for emergencies. Then wheeled her wife into the hospital and to the front desk. "Excuse me nurse."
The woman turned from viewing a file and glanced in the direction of the voice. "Frankie! Nice to see you again what brings you in?"
"My wife she's in labor this is her second birth and it's twins all of our insurance is on file. We've called the doctor he's meeting us here." Frankie said in one big sentence.
"Whoa slow down Frankie you've delivered babies before just relax and let's get your wife into a room while you wait. Okay?"
"Yes thank you nurse Stevens." Bianca said between labored huffs.
The doctor walked into the lobby and marched up to the desk about ten minutes later. "I've got a delivery to assist in Patients name is Bianca Montgomery Stone?"
"Yes doctor she's just down the hall in Delivery room one."
"Thank you nurse. "
The doctor came into the room to see Frankie holding Bianca's hand and helping her through her contractions like a pro. "I take it you've done this before Miss Stone?"
"I've delivered about a hundred babies in my short career span as a doctor. What about you?" The woman asked suddenly paranoid.
The man smiled. "I lost count at around two thousand now let's just have a look here shall we." The doctor replied putting on a pair of gloves and lifting Bianca's gown. "Oh, my well they certainly want out of there don't they. She's nearly fully dialated. I think we can start the process. Have you decided whether you want any drugs during the birthing process or is it going to be natural?"
"I had a natural birth with Miranda...I want something for this." Bianca replied sweat was already beading on her forehead.
The kids sat in the lobby and waited for news.
"So is your mom having two boys or two girls?" Adam asked making conversation.
"We don't know she said her and Frankie wanted to wait to find out." Miranda answered.
"Maybe she'll have a boy and a girl then I can have a little brother and a sister." Brady said excitedly.
"You guys are lucky you got each other to hang with now that mom has the twins at home she barely notices I'm around."
"Babies are alot of work mom says I was a twenty four hour job." Miranda replied.
Frankie walked out of the delivery room and took her mask off. "So do you guys want to meet your new brother and sister?" She asked the kids.
"We have one of each?" Miranda looked baffled and turned to her brother.
"I was right YES!"
"Come on this way." Frankie explained and moments later they were gowned up and holding their new siblings.
"What are their names?"
"Leo Michael Stone and this little beauty right here is Lyla Grace. You like'em?" Frankie asked watching the kids play with the babies tiny hands and feet.
"Yeah, they're so cute." Brady replied first.
"I can't believe I thought I'd be jealous of you guys. I love you yes I do.." Miranda cooed at her little brother.
The next day the paper read.
The Stone-Montegomery family Would Like to Welcome
Leo Michael and Lyla Grace to their family
Grandparents are Jack Montegomery and Erica Kane Montegomery And Cassandra Stone, The Late Frank Stone.
Siblings are Brady Stone and Miranda Stone.
Aunts and Uncles are Kendall and Zach Slater, Babe and Josh Martin and Maggie Stone. And many many cousins...
All of whom swarmed the hospital room that contained Bianca and the new babies. The next the whole family came back filling the room with balloons and flowers. Frankie got a set of cigars that read it's twins in pink and blue letters.
Bianca slept through most of the traffic leaving Frankie to play host. The kids were with The newly rehired nanny Olivia. Frankie had placed a late night call and the nanny was there within the hour.
Going home day next chapter.
