Chapter 54

Friday 2nd May, 2014.

After spending time in the entertainment room with the children, Erica climbed the stairs and headed for the nursery. She found Jane in there changing Benjamin's nappy and humming.

Nearing the table, she draped an arm around Jane's midriff and placed a kiss upon her left shoulder, "Hey honey."

"Hey yourself, how was your day?"

"Full on with warrant issues and sorry about not being able to call you."

"That's okay and I have a surprise for you," replied Jane while picking up the baby and passing him over to his momma.

Blue eyes sparkled, "Oh you do, do you?"

"Yes. I have expressed enough milk for three days and you and I are leaving for a weekend getaway once you change out of uniform. I have packed our bags and your mother is taking care of the kids. No doubt ma will visit and lend a hand too and I have a feeling Maura is leaving Isabella with Constance so her and Ian can have a weekend alone before she returns to work on Monday."

"Why are you telling me about Maura and Ian?"

With a coy grin, Jane clarified, "They are joining us for dinner on Saturday. I have booked a table at the Artisan Bistro and plan on dressing up for you."

"Goodness, I like the sound of that." Erica pecked their son on the temple, "I love you with all my heart Little Man, but your mommy could do with a full night's sleep."

Yawning, Benjamin closed his eyes and nestled into the side of Erica's neck.

Jane tapped the blonde on the butt, "I am hoping for a night of sex with my beautiful wife and have a sleep in in the morning."

Stunned by the comment, Erica asked, "Are you telling me you have your sex drive back?"

"If you hurry up and get ready, I will show you," teased Jane as she took the baby. "I'll take Benjamin downstairs to Claire and say goodbye to the kids."

Erica didn't reply; she was out the door running.

-o-

Opening the door to the Executive Suite of the Ritz Carlton Boston Common Hotel, Jane stepped to the side and allowed Erica entry, "I wanted to treat you to a no children break. I know work has been hectic the past two weeks and you need to recharge."

Looking around the elegant rooms, Erica took in the city view in the background and turned to her wife, "You are right and this was an excellent idea honey."

Closing the door, Jane advanced on Erica's position in the living area with a look best described as predatory. It caused Erica to gulp and a warm feeling permeate her lower region.

She didn't have time to think before Jane smashed her lips to hers and pushed her past the French doors and into the master bedroom. With the back of her knees colliding with the king size bed, Erica cling on for dear life and let her wife take the lead. She was more than willing to follow and way beyond ready to make love with the woman who was her everything.

Jane groaned as she gripped the hem of Erica's tee shirt and pulled it upwards. Reluctant to end the kiss, she nevertheless leaned back for a brief moment and discarded the item of clothing to the floor. A lime green bra soon joined it and Jane whimpered when her hand cupped a firm breast.

In response, Erica deepened the kiss and commenced stripping the shirt off Jane. She stood in awe when fuller breasts majestically presented themselves and her hands automatically cradled the heavier mounds. There was a loud growl as mouths slammed into one another and hands fondled, squeezed and kneaded pliant flesh.

Both women took their time to familiarise themselves with every inch of skin on offer before Jane reached for the pop stud of Erica's jeans. Swiftly she unzipped the pants and they were pushed down before Erica could react.

Placing her hands on Erica's shoulders, Jane pushed her back onto the bed then grabbed the legs of her jeans and pulled them off. Black socks were next and Erica was a puddle of wetness when Jane rolled down her lime underpants.

Straightening up, Jane smiled at the sight in front of her. Her wife was swollen, moist and ready. Giddy with desire, Jane quickly divested herself of her remaining clothes before putting a hand on each of Erica's knees and gently prising her legs apart. "I love you so much," she declared prior to kneeling and kissing her way along Erica's right inner thigh.

"I love you too honey," whimpered Erica as another gush of fluid oozed from her centre. Her hands went to the top of Jane's head as a warm mouth covered her core and a tongue glided between the folds of her labia. "Oh goodness, that feels so good," she groaned while twirling fingers around raven locks.

Pressing lips onto the puffy surface, Jane suckled gently and moved towards the hidden bundle of nerves at the apex of Erica's shaft. Once she reached her destination, Jane blew air across the stiff node and smiled when her wife shuddered in response. Wanting to thank Erica for her two months of patience, Jane wrapped her lips around the tip and hummed against the stiff protrusion.

Erica held on tighter as her hips instinctively rose off the mattress, "Oh Jane … so good."

Lifting up with the blonde's movement, Jane flicked her tongue over the end then down along the base. She derived immense pleasure in her wife's reactions, both physical and verbal and her own arousal pecked several times before crashing down around her when Erica's frame tensed then relaxed. Jane's greatest reward was the copious amount of liquid now coating her tongue and face. Rather than cease her actions and bask in the afterglow of their shared orgasm, Jane continued to stroke the hardened clitoris until Erica once more rose to the top of the chasm and tumbled headfirst into the next blissful liberation. Jane was right there with her and orally coaxed the last of the tremors from her body before the blonde was still.

Silence filled the room while Jane stood and joined her lover on the bed. Snuggling into her flank, she draped an arm over her stomach and pressed her saturated lips onto her left shoulder.

Taking her time to find her voice, a sated Erica rolled onto her side and grinned at a smiling Jane, "That was fantastic and well worth the wait. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did."

"Mmm, it was so intense and I could never grow tired of doing that to you. You taste divine and I have really missed you."

"Needless to say, I missed you too and once I get my breath back, I will take great pleasure in showing you just how much."

Bringing their lips together, Jane kissed Erica passionately and reached for her right hand. Dragging it across her body, she guided it downwards then pressed Erica's fingers into the wetness that had accumulated between her folds.

"Shit honey," mumbled Erica while pushing her index and middle digits along the stiffened clitoris. "You are incredibly wet."

"It's what you do to me and can you please take me."

"I certainly can," replied Erica as she began a slow rhythm of strokes up and down the silken shaft. "Tell me if I hurt you and we can stop."

"You won't hurt me babe, I am fully healed and more than ready for you to fill me."

The words sent a shiver of arousal down Erica's spine and straight to her core, "I love you." Sliding her fingers down, Erica teased the opening for a few seconds before Jane kissed her again.

Penetrating her wife, Erica groaned when ribbed muscles clutched at her digits and pulled them in further. With eyes wide open, she stared at her beautiful partner when she ended the kiss, "That's it honey, you set the pace."

Brown orbs shone and Jane smiled, "You feel really good babe, just keep doing that."

"I'll do whatever you want Jane."

"Lick my nipple please; I want to feel your lips on me."

Needing no further requests, Erica lowered her head and sought out Jane's left teat. Knowing suckling was off the menu, she tenderly flicked her tongue over the full expanse of the nub then made circular motions around the base and surrounding areola.

In response, Jane pushed up into Erica's fingers and moaned, "Deeper babe, I can take it."

Going all the way in, Erica felt tears prick the back of her eyes as her wife's tight channel was filled. She raised her head and locked onto Jane's eyes, "All those pelvic floor exercises have paid off; you are back to normal."

Increasing the thrust of her hips, Jane replied, "Yes and I am about to come."

Curling her fingers and twisting them, Erica assisted Jane as much as she could.

"Oh god babe, just … about … there … love you … so much."

Feeling the inner muscles clamp then release around her fingers, Erica returned lips to Jane's nipple and she pulled on it with her teeth. It was enough to send the brunette into a flash of bright lights and climax.

Arms grabbed at Erica's shoulders as Jane continued to jolt and secret warm fluid. Overcome with desire, Erica retracted her digits and stroked her lover's clitoris until she rolled into another orgasm. By the time Jane came down from the natural high, Erica's hand was awash with essence and she greedily licked it from her palm.

The gesture sent a bolt of stimulation through Jane and she straddled her wife's hips, "That just makes me want to come again."

"Go right ahead honey. What would you like me to do now?"

"Put your fingers back inside and let me ride them in this position."

Erica did just that and Jane was a shaking, trembling mess moments later.

-o-

Erica collapsed back onto the bed and took Jane with her. With limbs tangled together, Jane burst out laughing while managing to unravel herself from Erica's legs. Turning herself around, she flopped beside Erica and continued to giggle.

Trying the steady her erratic breathing, Erica softly slapped Jane on the left hip, "Why are you laughing?"

"When you suggested we attempt a sixty nine while standing, I had no idea how much fun it would be. Wow, that one is definitely added to our repertoire of bedroom activities."

Joining in the hilarity, Erica pressed her lips to the cleft of Jane's chin, "It was a whole lot of fun and next time, you get to hold me up."

"I can do that and I think it is safe to say we have both recovered physically."

"I'm glad you are feeling so much better honey and the scarring is minimal."

"I put it down to the cream Gail prescribed for Benjamin and me."

"We will have to keep a jar on hand in the medicine cabinet for all the scrapes and bruises that four kids are bound to experience over the next ten years of so."

Cuddling in closer, Jane let out a soft sigh, "I am incredibly happy right now. We have so much to be thankful for and sex with you is better than ever."

Tittering at her wife's words, Erica drew lazy hearts over her shoulders with an index finger, "Honey that may just be as a result of waiting so long."

"I admit to having pent up energy, but seriously, we both had our freak on and I am ready to go again."

Falling back against her pillows, Erica whined, "Holy crap woman, you are insatiable."

With her dimples in full deepness along with the cheesiest of grins, Jane raised up on her right elbow, "Only when it comes to my wonderfully talented wife."

The tiniest of smirks played along Erica's mouth, "Goodness, you are full of praise tonight, but I need food before I pass out." Glancing at the bedside clock, she added, "It is ten past midnight honey. I am going to order room service then take a bath in the spectacular marble bathtub."

"Okay, I guess we could benefit from some food."

Sliding off the bed, Erica collected the Hotel booklet and opened it up to the in-house menu, "I am having a turkey avocado club on rye with a side order of potato salad and cape cod chips."

"Sounds good babe, I'll have the same."

Walking over to the phone, Erica placed the order then returned to the bed, "Food will be here in fifteen minutes, so the bath is on hold."

Settling on top of her wife, Jane purred, "Plenty of time for me to make love to you again."

Erica replied with a deep chortle followed by a feverish kiss.

-o-

The next day, Jane surprised Erica with a picnic in the Public Garden including a ride on the Swan Boats before a leisurely walk through the Common. Returning to the suite, Jane called home and checked on the children while Erica drew them a bath.

After making love in the tub, the couple dressed for dinner and met up with Maura and Ian in the Hotel's bistro.

Jane noticed her best friend was very attentive to her husband and during dessert, she asked, "Is there something you wanted to share with us Mau?"

A smile broke out on the honey blonde's face and she blurted out, "Ian and I are pregnant."

Jumping out of her chair, Jane embraced the Medical Examiner, "I am so happy for you two. Congratulations."

Erica followed, "Wow, well done and I couldn't be happier for you."

Ian squeezed his wife's hand, "The little bugger was totally unplanned, but we are overjoyed."

Maura noticed her friend's puzzled look and grinned, "Don't ask, the doctor is blaming it on a faulty condom, but we are not complaining at all. I was due to recommence the pill a week after inception, which in now a moot point and our original plans have been brought forward."

"You could say that Mau, and Constance must be thrilled."

"She doesn't know yet; we only had the pregnancy confirmed this morning. I am five weeks along and all is well."

Jane sat back down, "You certainly look well."

"I feel wonderful and Ian's parents are flying in tomorrow, so we plan on sharing the news at the next Sunday dinner. I believe we are hosting it this time around."

"You are," established Erica. "And we won't tell anyone."

"Stay away from ma or she will figure it out," advised Jane with a chuckle.

The comment brought laughter to the table and the conversation stayed focused on babies until the couples bid goodnight an hour later.

-o-

As discussed, Ian and Maura announced the impending birth of their second child halfway through Sunday dinner. Constance burst into tears and Angela swiftly followed. Their behaviour led to an interesting bedtime conversation between Jane and Erica once they retired to bed for the evening.

Jane had just snuggled into the crook of Erica's left shoulder after putting Benjamin to bed when Erica asked, "How would you feel about me trying for a baby before next year?"

Sitting up, a stunned Jane looked down into watery pools of blue, "Is this about Maura and Ian?"

Scrunching up her nose, Erica replied, "Kind of. I know we planned on waiting until next May, but I'd really like you to consider bringing it forward."

Filled with excitement and a small measure of trepidation, Jane dragged her fingers through blonde strands, "Are you sure? You've only just gone back to work and would have to ride a desk for most of the pregnancy."

Nodding, Erica caressed the left side of Jane's face, "I was thinking about it during dessert and would like to start the ball rolling as soon as possible."

A slow grin covered Jane's lips, "I don't see why we can't and I think our family will be complete with five children ahead of schedule."

Dragging Jane back into her embrace, Erica planted a lingering smooch onto the crown of raven curls, "Unless I carry twins."

"Oh crap! I totally forgot about that possibility. Six is a nice even number babe, so it will be good either way."

A deep husky chuckle escaped from Erica, "Lucky for us that we added the extra floor to the house."

Drawing circles around Erica's exposed navel, Jane purred against the shell of her ear, "I can't wait to see you glowing and radiating more beauty than you already do."

"Are you attempting to seduce me Missus Rizzoli-Campbell?"

"Is it working?" retorted Jane prior to laying small pecks along the full column of her wife's lean neck.

"You know it is my wondrous temptress," returned Erica while turning her head to receive Jane's waiting lips.

Wednesday 6th August, 2014.

Holding onto Erica's left hand, Jane stared at the sonagram monitor then glanced at Doctor Huffman with an expression of pure delight, "Oh dear god, I can see the gestational sac. Holy hell Erica, we are having another child."

Squeezing her spouse's hand, Erica boasted, "See I told you the little swimmer made it through to the other side."

Overcome with joy, Jane leaned down and captured the blonde's smiling lips. Tears flooded her eyes and they absconded down her cheeks the second she let go and straightened up, "I love you so much."

"I love you too," countered a weeping Erica before looking to Doctor Huffman, "So that makes me four weeks along Doc and due date is around the seventh of May?"

Wiping away gel and placing the transducer back into its holder, Gail answered, "You are spot on."

"Is it too soon to tell if I'm having twins?"

"Your next scan at twelve weeks will tell us more, but your Human Chorionic Gonadotropin levels were slightly higher than expected, so you may be carrying twins. At this stage, let's not get ahead of ourselves until we are certain."

Jane's eyes glazed over as she swiped teardrops away with the back of her left hand, "Shit babe, there could be two little angles." Taking a deep breath, she reasoned, "Okay, that is fine and this stays between you and me until we are know for sure and are ready for ma's hysterical onslaught. She is so freaking not going to be at our doorstep every alternative morning like she is with Lydia and Maura. She is way too over enthusiastic with their pregnancies and will be totally unrealistic with yours."

Rolling her eyes, Erica scoffed, "Good luck with keeping our brilliant news from her."

Finishing up, Doctor Huffman interrupted the friendly banter, "I'll see you two in eight weeks and Erica, if you feel any discomfort, don't hesitate to call me."

A beaming blonde rearranged her tee shirt and jumped off the exam table, straight into Jane's arms, "I won't and thanks."

"You are welcome. I'll leave you the room until you are ready to go."

Two smiling expressions greeted the comment and once the doctor and nurse had departed, Jane smothered Erica's face in tender kisses. By the time she stopped her eager display of happiness, Erica took her by the hand and ushered her to the reception counter to make an appointment.

She had Jane drop her off to Headquarters where she finished her shift four hours later. Meanwhile, Jane having taken a personal day, returned home armed with groceries and a grin firmly plastered on her face.

-o-

Erica was playing on the jungle gym with Emma and Braxton while Jacqueline was contently mucking about in the sandpit with Jane and a plastic spade. The brunette glanced over at her wife and smirked. As the sun slowly set, it cast a golden haze around the statuesque blonde and Jane found absolute peace with her surroundings.

Her heart was overflowing with love for the woman who had brought so much into her life and was now carrying the child who would complete their family. Her idyllic serenity vanished when Claire approached carrying a crying Benjamin.

"Someone just woke up and is hungry," the older blonde stated. "I've changed his diaper, but he needs his mommy."

Getting to her feet, Jane brushed her sand covered hand on the legs of her shorts, "I'll swap him for Jac."

Trading places, Jane took her son into the house then up to the nursery. She was rocking in the chair when Erica stuck her head past the doorjamb three minutes later.

"Would you like me to bathe him when you are done?" she asked.

"Yes please and I will have a shower." Jane noticed the manifestation of hope on her wife's face and inquired, "Do you want me to wait so you can join me?"

"Yes thank you very much, I am feeling a little frisky after having you perve on me outside."

"Oh, you were aware of my observation?"

"I certainly was and you looked so happy."

"That's because I am and there is no other place I would rather be then right here with you and our little clan."

Choking up, Erica neared and glided fingertips through the black curls of their son's head, "You are going to make me cry with all that sweetness."

"I've turned into a romantic softie," confessed Jane before chuckling.

"I promise not to tell anyone and I'll meet you in the bathroom when you are finished."

"I appreciate you working in with me."

"Together honey, that's how it is with us."

"Very true babe and you can take Benjamin now, he has stopped suckling."

Leaning down, Erica picked the baby up and placed him over her left shoulder for the purposes of burping him, "Wow, he is putting on weight Jane."

"That's because my boobs deliver the good stuff."

"I can't wait to taste them again."

"You won't have too long to wait, I am producing less milk now."

Benjamin let out too short belches then a long one.

Erica grinned at the sound, "He so sounds like you."

"We will be able to have contests when he is older," joked Jane while standing.

"Geez, something to look forward to," bemoaned amusingly Erica as she headed out the room.

"Us Rizzolis are pure class babe," quipped Jane before following. She nearly collided with Braxton as he ran down the hallway. "Whoa, slow down, what's the hurry?"

"Can I have a bath with Benjamin? I want to help."

"Of course you can, so grab some toys and let's get moving."

"Yay for me!" cheered the youngster before taking off down the stairs.

"Just don't splash me," warned Jane, knowing full well that would not happen and adult shower time with her wife would now be delayed.

Stopping mid-step, Braxton gave her a megawatt grin, "No can do." He continued on his way laughing and Jane joined in.

Life in the Rizzoli-Campbell household was extraordinary and Sergeant Jane Rizzoli had certainly left behind her independent ways and lived for the now and the people she loved. She let the future take care of itself and never gave the "what ifs" a second thought.

Wednesday 8th October

With the olive skin of her face turning pale, Jane stood by the exam bed and ogled the monitor. So many thoughts were racing around her brain and crashing into each other that she couldn't form any words. Her silence filled the room for a second before three distinct heartbeats echoed off the walls via the Doppler system cruising over her wife's rounded stomach.

Erica was too stunned to speak, so she just gripped Jane's left hand and held on for dear life.

Jane felt the increased pressure on her hand and finally snapped out of her stupor, "Mary mother fucking Margaret, there are three of them."

Trying not to laugh, Gail replied, "Yes there are and if you are ready, I'll do the sonogram now?"

The words shocked Erica out of her almost catatonic state, "I am not pushing three out of my vagina; it will never be the same again."

Seeing the funny side, Jane quipped, "You said the same thing about mine and it more than recovered."

A sly grin washed over Erica's lips, "Oh honey, it sure has and Gail, I am already opting for a caesarean birth."

"I was going to recommend it anyway," returned the doctor with a smile.

Kissing Erica on the mouth briefly, Jane retorted, "We are going to have seven bloody kids, who would have thunk it?"

"Not me that is for sure," admitted Erica while Doctor Huffman ran the transducer over her belly.

The tears cascaded from Jane's eyes when three foetal images side by side appeared on the screen. Erica was watching too and blinked before speaking, "No wonder I am the size of a house; three of the little buggers are in there jostling for space."

Concerned, Jane glanced at Gail, "Are they on track developmentally, they aren't too small?"

Typing in some commands on the keyboard, the doctor answered, "No, they are right on target at 2.11 inches from crown to rump. As you can see it is a tight squeeze, but they are sucking their thumbs and that is a good sign. You can also make out the kidney function along with finger and toe nails."

Moving in closer, Jane searched for all those characteristics and when found, she cried harder, "Oh babe, look at our beautiful kids."

"They are pretty amazing."

Gail changed the angle of the scan, "With triplets confirmed, I would like to monitor you more regularly Erica."

"Okay and I gather with multiple births, I have a higher risk of complications."

"Yes, but that doesn't mean something will go wrong. You will be more fatigued as the pregnancy progresses and will probably experience frequent urination, tenderness of the breasts and more bouts of morning sickness."

Erica nodded, "Already there Doc and as you know, I was concerned about the weight gain. I realised I was way past Jane's weight for the same stage and had the feeling we were dealing with twins. I certainly wasn't expecting triplets, but it's nothing we can't handle together."

In response, Jane pecked Erica on the temple, "You got that right and definitely no more babies after this lot otherwise we will end up with our own football team."

Giggling for a moment, Gail suggested, "I'd like to see you again in a fortnight Erica."

Blue eyes shone, "You will be able to ascertain gender by then, right?"

"As long as they are in the proper position I will be able to."

"Fine and shit, I am going to be the size of a house by the time they are fully formed," lamented Erica despite the humongous smile on her face.

Knowing how worried she was for her weight during her pregnancy, Jane was quick to quash her wife's doubts, "Hey now, I remember when you told me you would love me no matter what size I was, so now I am saying the exact same thing to you."

Printing out several copies of the images, Gail added, "Jane is right, the weight you have gained is all baby. You are only putting on the extra they require from you."

Sighing, Erica took one last look at the monitor, "Huey, Dewey and Louie better behave or I am upping their rent."

Jane and Gail both chuckled at the statement then the doctor inquired, "How did your families react to your news?"

Erica went first, "Mine were really excited and my grandparents even visited from Scotland for a week."

"My mother had to write down how happy she was on a piece of paper. She gets that way sometimes when trying to express her feelings."

The doctor's grin grew broader, "Did she turn up on your doorstep the next morning?"

"No, my darling wife had a quiet chat to her and told her our sister in-law and friend needed her more because we had live-in help."

"That's one way of dealing with it," noted Gail. "Well, we are done here until the next appointment. Erica, I know you have already gone to desk duty, but if you get too tired, I want you to leave work and go home to rest. I also recommend you consider going on maternity leave sooner than the eight months mark you'd planned on."

"I can do all that and my gorgeous wife can look after me."

The remark earned Erica a kiss on the mouth from Jane, "I look forward to it and we are really going to need a bigger house."

"We have a few issues to discuss honey," acknowledged Erica as she got to her feet.

"Mary, mother, Margaret, we will need a new SUV too."

"We better buy a bus at the rate we are going," taunted Erica while embracing Jane.

"And hire another nanny. Nelson will flip when we tell him the news."

Erica roared with laughter, "Damn, so many adjustments to consider. You better get your fat wife home and get your ass back to work."

"I may move into the Squadroom for the peace and quiet," quipped Jane before she took Erica's hand. "See you in two weeks Gail and thanks for everything."

"You are welcome and if you have any questions, bring them along with you."

"We will," promised Erica, still giddy from the initial revelation.
