Disclaimer: Not Mine.
A/N: So very sorry for the long delay. Seriously, having your elderly father move in with you is not something I would wish on my worst enemy. I have a 74yr old toddler who can drive. This is short, but the next part deserves it's own chapter. That will likely be published on Tuesday.

Jane called Korsak on her way to the hotel.
"You know what to do tomorrow, right?"
"Yes Jane. The answer hasn't changed since the last two times you called me." He chuckled. "Relax Jane, I got this."
Jane let out a breath. "Thank you. For everything."
Korsak softly asked, "Are you ok?"
"I am. Better than I have maybe ever been. Just..."
"Nervous?"
"Yeah. But ready."
"See ya in a bit."

Maura's House
Angela, Hope, Constance and Nina were all sitting in Maura's living room, wine glasses in hand.
"Thank you all for coming tonight. It means the world to me." Maura had pumped breast milk for Avery so she could have a glass of wine. "You all mean the world to me."
"To Maura!" Angela lead the toast and everyone joined in.
Constance took Maura's hand. "Are you ready for this? For marriage? To Jane?"
Maura nodded. "I am. Although it's really just a formality at this point."
The other women looked at each other before looking back at Maura. Hope nodded and Nina produced a wrapped shirt box.
"This is from all of us, but Cailin picked it out, from Harrod's in London."
"Oh I wish she could be here!" Maura began unwrapping the box and was speechless at what she pulled out. "Oh my, this is beautiful."
They all smiled as she pulled a short, midnight blue silk nightie and robe.
Angela was the first to speak. "I think you will look gorgeous in it, and I know Jane will love you in it." She laughed. "And out of it."
They all laughed as Maura blushed. Before she could say anything, Avery could be heard crying through the baby monitor. Maura stood and excused herself to go check on him.
As she was changing his diaper, she began talking to him.
"You saved me Avery. Mommy was about to be embarrassed until you cried. Yes I was!"
By the time she had gotten him changed and back to sleep, everyone had cleaned up and was getting ready to leave. She watched as they left one by one until only Angela was left.
"Angela..."
"Maura..."
Angela motioned for Maura to go first.
"Angela...are you really ok with this marriage?"
Angela took Maura's hands in her own. "Yes, I am. All I have ever wanted is for Jane to find love and happiness, and she has with you. That's all that matters."
"Thank you. I promise to love her for as long as I walk the Earth."
Angela nodded. "That is all any parent can ask." She hugged Maura. "I will be over in the morning to get Avery. Ok?"
Maura nodded and locked the door after Angela left.

The Dirty Robber
Frankie, Korsak, Kent and Jane were all finishing up the second and last round of beer.
"You know Jane, in Scotland it's..."
Jane was vigorously shaking her head. "Nope. No. Shut it Kent."
Korsak and Frankie joined in with Jane until Kent finally shut up.
As they were finishing up, Frankie hugged Jane.
"I am so happy for you, Janie. And Maura."
"Thanks Frankie."

Jury's Hotel
Honeymoon Suite
It was just after midnight and Jane had a sudden fear that Maura wasn't going to show up for their wedding.
Maura was giving Avery a bottle and rocking him when Jane called. They switched to video call so Jane could say goodnight to Avery.
Maura sensed Jane's unease.
"What is it Jane?"
Jane sighed. "Is it good with me, Maura?"
"Jane, nothing else, no one else compares to you. To what we have." She leaned in close to the screen. "And I am going to show every inch of your body just how good we are together."
Now it was Jane who blushed.
"We need to get some sleep, then."
Maura smiled. "Yes, we do. I will see you at The Dirty Robber in a few hours. I love you."
"I love you too."
Jane slipped between the covers and drifted off to sleep.
On Beacon Hill, a doctor and her son were also fast asleep, waiting to meet their destiny.
