Chapter 49
Jane left Cavanaugh's office, still unhappy to be on desk duty but pleased to be able to return to work. Checking the time she noticed it was Maura's lunch hour. Punching the button for the morgue Jane decided to surprise her wife.
Maura sewed the last of the stitches for her morning's autopsy, an older man found face down on the pavement while walking his dog. Everything Maura suspected about this autopsy was correct: the 79 year old man died of natural causes. Fortunately his dog stayed by his side. The animal was now in the hands of the family members grateful that a tragic situation was not made more so by the beloved pet darting into traffic. She heard the elevator doors open and looked up to see Jane walking toward her.
"Hi, why are you here?" Maura asked. Jane grinned.
"That's a lovely way to greet your wife," she answered. Maura frowned.
"I didn't mean it that way, silly. I'm just surprised to see you."
"The doctor told Cavanaugh I can resume light duties, mainly desk duty. We had a meeting and when I noticed the time I came down here to take you to lunch, then home."
"Home?" Maura asked, quizzically.
"Yep. Home to rest for the afternoon. I checked the morgue schedule and you have nothing going on. Barring a new case you're free for the rest of the day."
"I'd love to go home with you," Maura pressed against Jane.
"To rest, M, you know? Like take a nap," Jane was firm.
"If you nap with me," Maura said seductively. Jane groaned.
"You're not making this easy, are you?"
Instead of answering Maura gazed into Jane's chocolate brown eyes and smiled before placing a languid kiss on Jane's lips. Jane returned the kiss, deepening it. Breaking away she glanced down at Maura then took her hand.
"Come on, we need to eat. You do, anyway. If we stand here kissing we'll be here all day."
"We have leftovers in the fridge, Jane."
"Ma left manicotti and lasagna with a green salad for you, Dr. Death."
"Please don't call me that, just because I'm a coroner and advocate healthy eating. You could do more of that, you know."
"I'll eat some salad with my manicotti, okay?"
"You'll nap with me?"
"Yes, ma'am," Jane replied, buckling Maura into her seatbelt. Maura reached up and stroked Jane's cheek.
"You take such good care of me, Jane. I love you," Maura said and promptly burst into tears.
Jane opened the front door and escorted Maura inside. "What kind of salad dressing do you want for your salad?" she asked.
Instead of replying Maura tugged on Jane's hand, and then when Jane turned around, grabbed the lapels of Jane's jacket. Jane found herself backed up against the wall.
"Wha-?" she managed to ask before Maura's mouth attacked hers.
"You said it was lunchtime, Jane. I'm having dessert first." Maura replied as she unbuckled Jane's belt and slid her hand inside.
"Maura, I brought you home to rest, remember?" Jane asked, beginning to hope Maura didn't stop.
"You want me to stop?" Maura pouted.
"No," Jane choked out.
"I'm only finishing what you started last night, Jane." Maura stroked the outside of Jane's folds while Jane struggled out of her jacket.
"You fell asleep after drinking your smoothie, M."
"After you gave me two toe curling orgasms, Jane, I didn't get to have you."
Jane managed to shuck off her jacket and remove her shirt. Maura reached up and pulled off Jane's bra and began massaging her breasts.
"Who am I to argue with a pregnant woman?"
"Exactly. It could be detrimental to your health, Jane. I am the chief medical examiner. You could die a natural death by unnatural causes."
"Then I guess it's a good thing I am whipped when it comes to you, M."
"Yes, Jane, I agree. Bedroom now, please."
"At least you said please."
"This time only, Jane. I'll have you begging soon enough."
"I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that statement, Maura."
"I love you, Jane, and I plan to make sure you know it, by the time I'm done with you."
A delicious shiver ran through Jane at Maura's words. She led Maura into the bedroom. As she closed the door Maura turned her around and backed her onto the bed. Jane's pants were on the floor before she knew they'd been removed, the rest of her clothing following. She grinned at Maura as she scooted up the bed.
"If I didn't know any better, M, I'd say you were an animal about to eat its prey."
"Eat you? Hmm, yes that's an apt description."
Jane felt her legs being opened and she spread them to admit Maura's body. She noticed that Maura's growing belly was hard and pushed against her own belly; Jane's arousal grew. Maura pounced on Jane's body, busying her tongue on one breast while her hand massaged the nipple of the other. Jane's hands began to clench the bedclothes beneath her.
"Oh, God, M," was all Jane managed. Maura released Jane's breast with a pop and lovingly bathed the other breast with her tongue. Maura abruptly stopped and looked at Jane with a feral look in her eyes.
"Now for my dinner and dessert," she declared. Sliding down Jane's body Maura settled between Jane's legs and allowed her tongue to start slowly bathing the outside of Jane's opening. Jane groaned. The bedclothes were bunched in her hands.
Maura smiled to herself. She loved making Jane come undone. She stopped her tongue and blew a long breath. Holding Jane open with her fingers Maura used her tongue to enter Jane and began thrusting with it. She felt Jane's hips thrust beneath her and knew her wife was close.
Inserting two, then three fingers, Jane clenched around Maura and her orgasm shot through her body. Pulling herself even with Jane Maura held her as she came down. After a minute Jane opened her eyes.
"Seriously, Maur? You're going to kill me one of these days."
"At least you'll go pleasantly," Maura replied.
"Give me a minute and I'll reciprocate."
"No need, I'm fine. I wanted you last night but I fell asleep. I'm good." Jane watched Maura curl up against Jane's side. Maura's hand reached out and lazily stroked Jane's stomach and abs.
"I love your musculature. I hope at least one of our babies looks like you."
"I want a little girl who looks just like you, M. Lovely golden hair, shining hazel green eyes and your brain."
"I hope neither of my children take after me, Jane. I was a lonely child when I grew up. I don't wish that for anyone."
"Your children, my lady, are going to be loved to death. Ma is waiting anxiously for their birth, Frankie is ecstatic he's going to be an uncle again and Tommy is happy he's around for their birth."
Maura continued to stroke Jane. "You're a wonderful woman, Jane, I'm glad you'll be raising them. They'll be exposed to your sense of right and wrong."
"You have the same strong sense of justice, Maur. That's why we work together."
"You stand up for the bad guy."
"So do you. You're going to be a wonderful mother, Maura. Your babies are lucky to have you."
"My babies, Jane? What, do you expect to dump them on me and run out the door each morning for work, leaving me up to my neck in diapers and not knowing what to do?" Maura sat up, enraged. Jane sighed.
"No, M, I will be there with you at all times. They're our babies. I love them already, more than you know."
Maura visibly calmed. "I need another smoothie, Jane."
Jane swung her legs over the bed. "I'll make you one. Same as last time?"
Maura nodded. "Thanks."
"No problem, sweetie, anything for my love and our babies."
Maura smiled at the words. Jane walked into the kitchen, frustrated.
If the mind-blowing sex didn't kill her Maura's mood swings might.
