The car ride over to the cafe was completely silent. No one wanted to say what was on their minds. When they arrived, Jane stepped out of the car and opened the door for Maura. Hope had already come around and was standing at the door of the cafe.

Stepping inside, Mrs. Betty looked up as the bell sounded. "Well, if it isn't my two favorites. Hello Jane, Maura. Free from the kids tonight?" She smiled as she hugged each woman.

"For the time being yes, but my sister is at Mass General so we decided to get dinner close by" Maura says, smiling at the older woman who has become an extended member of their family.

"Oh my, is she okay?" Mrs. Betty gives Maura a worried look..

Maura sighed but before she could answer, Hope spoke. "Cailin has Leukemia, today was her first treatment." Mrs. Betty quickly wrapped Hope in a hug.

"I'm so sorry to hear that. Please send her my regards. You three have a seat and I will send out your usual along with something special for you to take back to Cailin." Mrs. Betty quickly disappeared into the kitchen.

The three women found a somewhat secluded booth where they could talk without interruption. Mrs. Betty returned a short while later with coffee for all three. She gave them their coffee before giving Maura a small white take out box. "I know that's Cailin's favorite, triple chocolate cake."

"Thank you Mrs. Betty. That will definitely lift her spirits", Maura says with a smile.

"So Mrs. Betty, how's my ma treating you?" Jane took a sip from her coffee, closing her eyes at the taste.

"Oh your mother has been amazing. Selling this place to her was the greatest thing I could have ever done. Now that I'm not running it all, I have more time to spend with my grandkids, not to mention my husband and I have been able to return to taking our Sunday walks together."

The smile on the older women's face was enough to make everyone at the table share in her happiness. "Plus, I still have plenty of input. She treats me more like a co owner than an employee."

"Well I'm glad she's not working you to the bone, but if she ever gives you a hard time you let me know and I'll have a talk with her," Jane says, giving Mrs. Betty a wink.

"Oh honey, that's sweet of you but really, she's been wonderful. I'm going to go check on your orders, enjoy the coffee ladies."

After Mrs. Betty was gone, Maura turned her attention to her mom. They were silent for a bit, the awkwardness thick in the air. Finally Maura speaks. "Well, I'm waiting."

Hope takes a deep breath as if she is garnering all the strength in her. "Maura, I don't think it is likely you will be a match for Cailin."

Maura stared at her mother in disbelief. "What exactly are you saying mother? Is Cailin not my sister?" Maura's voice shook and she began to cry as the words came out of her mouth.

Jane shook her head. "Don't be ridiculous Maur. You can look at you two and tell you are sisters."

Jane shoots Hope the dirtiest look she can muster. "Don't screw with her emotions Hope. Just come out with it already."

Hope nods. "It's not that she's not your sister. You are not her half sister though. You are full blood sisters.

Maura stares at Hope as the realization of Jane's words hit her. "So you are saying that Paddy is Cailin's father?"

Hope nods. "That is what I am telling you."

Jane could immediately see the anger hit Maura as her face flushed a deep shade of red. "You told me you broke it off with Paddy after I was born."

"I did Maura," Hope said in defense. Maura scoffed.

"So Cailin was conceived by what mother? Immaculate conception?" Maura began to rub her temples as a headache was quickly approaching.

"Paddy and I, we ran into each other years later. It was one night. When I woke up the next morning he was gone. I was with Jason at the time.When I found out I was pregnant, I did the math. I wasn't sure if Cailin belonged to Jason or Paddy. It was too close to know for sure."

Hope fidgeted with her coffee cup, not daring to look at her daughter who she knew for sure was looking at her in disappointment. When Maura didn't interrupt, Hope continued.

"When Cailin was born, I had a DNA test done. When the results came back is when I realized she belonged to Paddy. I made a decision that day that I would never tell anyone.Jason passed never knowing the truth. It was for the best. Paddy did not know about Cailin. I only contacted him now in hopes that he has another child out there. Maybe a half sibling to you and Cailin. If he does, they would have a better chance of being a match than you are."

" So what mom, were you just going to call him up and say oh by the way you have another daughter. She's dying but while I have you on the phone, do you have any other children? This is so fucked up," Maura says as she buries her face in her hands.

"You have to tell Cailin Hope," Jane remarks. "Stop all the bullshit and come clean with her. She's starting the biggest battle of her life. Your daughters deserve for you to be truthful so if there is anything else you are hiding you need to get it out right here, right now because I will not watch you destroy your daughters anymore with untold secrets."

Jane was angry but she knew Maura needed her to keep her head and not go flying off the handles.

Hope narrowed her eyes at Jane."How dare you judge me. Do you think I wanted to keep the truth from Cailin? I didn't have a choice. Just like I didn't have a choice when I had to give Maura up. I wasn't willing to give up another child so I did what I had to do to keep her with me while also keeping her safe. I did what I had to do to protect my girls. You wouldn't know anything about that would you?"

Now it was Jane's turn to narrow her eyes. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"Do I need to remind you that you brought a drug addict into your home? One that tried to attack both of my daughters if my memory serves me correctly."

Maura dropped her jaw down in disbelief at the words that had just come out of her mom's mouth. Feeling Jane's leg bouncing next to her, she put her hand on her leg in an attempt to calm her , knowing she was on the verge of blowing.

"I can't believe you mother. Jessica is your granddaughter and she has done a damn good job of putting the past behind her. She also thinks the world of you. What the hell is wrong with you? "

"Yes Maura, she has cleaned up her life but you and I both know it could have gone the other way. Jane can't be over there acting like she deserves some kind of parent of the year award putting her family in that situation."

Jane quickly stood, her face bright red in anger. "I'm going for a walk Maura.I don't have to sit here and listen to this bullshit." Without another word, Jane quickly exited.

Maura stares at her mother, still not believing what just unfolded. "Mom, Why would you say that? You know Jess has come a long way from where she was five years ago. Yes, the situation could have ended badly back then but it didn't. I love my wife for the huge heart she has and I don't regret for one moment bringing Jess into our family. Also, if you must know, it was my idea to bring Jess into our home. Jane wasn't so sure but she did it anyway because that girl was lost mom. She needed us and I think we needed her just as much. That was a low blow. You know, if you were anyone else Jane would have laid you out but she didn't. Do you want to know why? Because she loves and respects you, no matter your past, and she respects me enough to not do that to my mother."

"I'm sorry Maura. I lost my cool. I shouldn't have said that." Hope buries her head in her hands.

"You're damn right you shouldn't have said that. Jane would give her life for me or any of our kids and you know it. You had no purpose behind that little stunt other than trying to hurt her and it worked."

"I wasn't thinking. You think she didn't hurt me making that remark she made? I love Cailin Maura. Do you think it didn't eat me up every single day? By the time I got those DNA results back, Cailin was six weeks old. I couldn't do it Maura. I couldn't kiss another baby goodbye. Don't you understand ? What if I came to you when Maddy and Abby was six weeks old and said you have to give them away. Would you not have done anything to figure out how to keep them? "

Maura paused for a moment as she processed her mom's words.

"What about me?"

Hope looks at Maura with confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Why didn't you find a way to keep me?" Maura stared at Hope as the tears began to flow freely.

Hope sighed. Her heart was breaking for her daughter. She reached out and took Maura's hand in hers. "I would have given anything to keep you Maura. Anything. Paddy's father had already found out about you though.He did not approve of our relationship and he told Paddy he was going to kill you and I both. Once Paddy and I dropped you off with your adoptive parents, he told them to give you a new name. That way you could never be traced back to us. Then he told me to leave and never look back. I didn't have a choice with you Maura. It was too late."

Maura stared at her mother blankly for a moment. "Wait, you didn't name me Maura? I thought you did." Hope shook her head. Your name was Caitlin Marie.When Cailin was born…"

"You didn't want to give her my name so you named her Cailin instead." Maura shook her head. Cailin was right. She did have to live her life in my shadow."

"Did Cailin tell you that?"

"Yes mom, she did. It was years ago when we first met. I don't think she feels that way now but she did. She didn't feel like she could ever be enough for you. Jeez mom, you couldn't even give her her own name. The one thing that makes her HER."

"I wasn't trying to do that Maura. It was just my way of having a small part of you with me."

Just then, Jane returned, not saying a word as she resumed her place at the table.

Hope turned her attention to Jane. "Jane, I…"

That was the only two words Hope could get out before Jane held up her hand. "Hope, do me a favor and do not talk to me right now."

Maura placed her hand on Jane's leg, gently giving it a squeeze. "Will you at least hear her out love, for me? There is no excuse for what she said Jane, but she is trying to apologize."

Jane took a deep breath and looked across the table at her mother in law.

"Jane, I'm sorry. What I said was completely uncalled for. I know you love my daughters and would never purposely put them in harm's way. You've done more for both of my girls then I ever have and I should be thanking you instead of being bitter for the choices I've made. I'm sorry." Hope wiped away at her tears as Jane sat silent.

"I don't just care about your daughter's Hope," Jane said, her face softening. "I care about you as well. You all are a part of my family now. Maura let out a sigh of relief and smiled at her wife while giving her hand a squeeze.

"Does that mean you forgive me?" Hope asked, hoping the answer would be yes. Jane gave the older woman a slight smile.

"Yeah I forgive you BUT because that was such a low blow you get to pick up the tab for dinner." Maura and Hope chuckled. They knew that this was Jane's way of saying I forgive you, but don't ever let it happen again.

After everything was out in the open the three women enjoyed their dinner before heading back to the hospital. As they headed out of the cafe Hope's phone began to ring. She pulled it from her purse before quickly silencing it. Maura knew it had to be Paddy calling because of her mother's actions earlier.

"It's okay mom, answer it." Maura wanted to take the phone from her mother and yell at the man who was calling but she knew it would not make anything any better. She and Jane walked off and stood by the car while Hope picked up as her phone rang again.

Jane leaned against the car and pulled her wife into her arms. "Everything will be okay Maur. Maybe we won't need his help. Maybe I can get tested for a match or Frankie." Maura smiled up at her wife, hazel green locked onto brown.

"You would do that?"

"I would, and do you know why?" Maura shook her head no. "I would do it because you and Cailin are my family and in this family we do whatever we can for each other. I would get every test, give any part of me to Cailin, if it meant she would get better faster and you nor she would have to see that asshole."

Maura pulled her wife closer and hugged her tightly. "I don't know how we got to be so lucky to have you in our lives but you, Jane Rizzoli-Isles, are the most amazing woman. I love you." Jane kissed the side of her wife's head before tilting the blonde's face to look at her. The brunette gently stroked her wife's cheek with her thumb before leaning in to kiss her again.

Pulling away slightly, Jane spoke again. "I love you too Maur but there is one small thing I don't agree with." Maura looked at her wife confused.

"What's that?"

"You guys aren't the lucky ones, I am." The women smiled at each other before sharing another soft kiss. Hope watched the two and smiled as she was pulled back to the man on the phone.

"Hello? Hope? Are you still there?"

Hope brought her attention back to Paddy. "Yeah. Sorry, I'm still here."

"I received the pictures you sent me Hope. They are both beautiful, just like their mother."

"Yes, they are Paddy." Hope hesitated for a moment before continuing. "I didn't mean to be so forward but you haven't answered my question. Do you have any other children? Maura informed me that this entire situation is fucked up and I would have to agree but our daughter's life could depend on it. She's my priority right now."

Paddy cleared his throat. "Although this is a conversation I would rather have in person I understand the urgency. To answer your question, yes I have another daughter."

Hope's face lit up. "Do you think she would be willing to be tested?" Hope hated how desperate she sounded.

"It's not that simple. I would have to find her first. I have an idea of where she is. Listen Hope, I really think we should meet and discuss this in person."

Hope scoffed at the request. "No Paddy. I know how you work. You are not getting to me this time."

"Hope, it's important. There are some things you should know before we move forward with this."

Hope groans. She knew Maura was not going to like this at all. "Fine, it needs to wait a few days though. Cailin is going to be in the hospital the first few days of her treatment. Let me get her home. She doesn't even know about you yet."

"Okay. A few days then." Paddy paused. "Hope, I want you to know, I have never stopped loving you."

Hope blinked away tears at the emotions that stirred within her as Paddy's words resonated in her mind. "I've got to go Paddy. I'll be in touch. Maura is waiting for me."

She wiped away a tear as she hung up the phone. She collected herself before walking over to Jane and Maura. She took a deep breath and decided to just come out with what she was just told.

"Well, apparently you do have another sister out there. He said he has to find her."

"Well, at least that means she is not connected to him," Maura said, with more hatefulness than she intended.

Hope nodded. "Listen, Jane, Maura, I know I have to tell Cailin the truth. I would like to wait a few days though. I don't want to break this news to her while she is in the hospital. At least let us get her home first."

Jane and Maura nodded.

When they returned to the hospital, they walked into Cailin's room, carrying dinner for the girls and Cailin's treat from Mrs. Betty..As they opened the door, Maura let out a gasp. "You have got to be fucking kidding me!"
