You guys are awesome, here's more of the story, I still got ideas which I'm always excited to share with you all.
There was a change in Jane's daily schedule the next couple of weeks, the twins started school so she had to drop them off in the morning, and since Maura was busy at work usually Jane had to pick them up, except on Wednesday when Tommy and Frost were both free and able to pick them up and take them out to dinner. Wednesdays were probably the best day for Jane, the one that seemed less stressful and busy. Maura was always home around four. She gave Kent more hours at night during the week so she could be home and help Jane around the house.
They started to get into a good rhythm of things by the third week finding out what was the best thing around the whole situation. The fall weather was quickly approaching as October hit. Maura and Jane were sitting outside, enjoying the air and the fact they were both able to relax, or try to at least.
"You know Jane, you've been very stressed with things around here lately. You really need to relax, I don't think it's very healthy and we have that check up in a couple of days we don't want the doctor to know you're so stressed," Maura looked at her wife in concern.
"Yeah, I know Maura, but there's a lot going on, can't really relax except during moments like this, but not when you start to talk about stress. It doesn't help you know," Jane tugged at her beanie hat, covering half of her face. "Can we just lay out here and enjoy the quiet fall atmosphere?"
"Sure Jane, I'm just..."
"Worried, I know Maura, you tell me this every single day. I get it, I do."
"Just remember Jane, you're the one who insisted on me staying home today," Maura got up from the lounge chair and went inside, slamming the door behind her, a little more force because the wind decided to help shut the door.
Jane lifted up her hat and sighed, "Dammit," she got up from the chair and went inside. "Maura, I'm sorry."
"Are you though? It's been the same thing everyday this week, I show a little concern and then you snap at me. I'm just trying to help."
"I know Maur, I'm sorry, I really am, I hate being worried about, you know this."
"But it's different Jane, it's not just you anymore I'm also concerned about the well-being of our child."
"Worry does nothing but cause more stress Maura, you want a stress-free environment for me then stop stressing me out even more. You're worse than my mother sometimes," Jane muttered the last sentence, but Maura heard it, she grabbed her jacket and slid on her shoes.
"If you don't want me stressing you out I'll just go then. Wouldn't want to sound like your mother," Maura shook her head.
"Maura, wait... where are you going?" Jane asked, immediately regretting her words.
"For a walk, enjoy the quiet house," Maura left out the front door.
Jane cursed, throwing her hat off her head before plopping down on the couch in the living room turning on the television. She turned it onto sports watching a documentary about the Red Sox and their journey as a baseball team. Jane knew the Red Sox were probably going to the World Series and she was more than ready for it. She even heard about the wager Kent and her brothers made about getting a tattoo on their ass if their world series pick were to lose.
Jane was only left alone for a few minutes when she heard the front door open she turned and seen Maura limping slightly. "Maura, what the hell happened?" She got up to help her wife to the couch.
"Don't worry about it, just get me some ice," she grumbled and put her leg up, foot on pillow. Jane came back moments later. "I'm still mad at you, but thanks." She hissed at the coldness of the ice.
"You tripped over that sidewalk piece that's raised didn't you?"
"Well I was mad started my run and wasn't paying attention and then there I was on the ground, like Kate was the other day on her bike."
"Well at least you're okay," Jane moved to sit underneath Maura's legs, patting her leg. "I'm sorry for getting upset over you just being concerned, and I'm sorry you tripped over the evil sidewalk want me to go get a sledgehammer and kick him to the curb?"
Maura smirked, shaking her head, "Taking the sidewalk to the curb, clever."
"I got you to smile," Jane poked at her dimple. "I am sorry about comparing you to my mother, really sorry. She's a thousand times worse than you when it comes to being concerned."
"Thanks I guess, so we are good then?"
Jane nodded. "Well I think that's up to you you're the one who was slamming things."
"I just want to help and sometimes you're so damn difficult."
"Let me make it up to you," Jane leaned down to kiss Maura on the mouth, nipping at her lips. Maura placed her hand on the back of Jane's head pulling her closer, deepening the kiss. Jane groaned in delight their tongues fighting for dominance, she moved her hand to lay it on Maura's thigh, giving it a squeeze.
Maura shifted to begin trying to straddle Jane's lap, forgetting about the pain of her leg until she heard the bag of ice hit the floor. She pulled away from Jane's mouth, breathing hard. "Um maybe we should take a break..."
Jane licked her lips, "You're such a tease Maura," she smirked moving to help Maura lay down as she stood up, grabbing the bag of ice, placing it back on Maura's ankle, "You should probably get some rest, that shit looks pretty swollen. I'll go make you some tea."
"Thanks Jane for being here, being worried it's okay you know."
"Yeah I know, I am sorry for sounding like an ass."
"All's forgiven," Maura flashed her wife a reassuring smile and Jane grinned, going to put on some water to get started on tea making.
As she went to put the hot water in mugs there was a knock on the door. Jane groaned, going to greet whoever was going to interrupt her day. She opened the door to her mother and Julian who she was pushing in the stroller. "Uh hey Ma, what are you doing here? Where's Korsak?"
"He's at home, may your mother come in?"
Jane nodded stepping to the side and letting her in, "Yeah sure, Maur and I were just about to have some tea..." she stopped noticing her mother carrying a bag, not just a diaper bag on her shoulder but a piece of rolling luggage as well. "Ma what's with the bag?"
"You can never be too sure how much Julian decides he wants to spit up, the other day I had to change my shirt three times," she shrugged. "Hey Maura."
Maura turned to the voice and nodded, "Good afternoon Angela I would come to greet you but I had a little accident."
"What kind of accident?"
"She had a fight with that sidewalk, and lost. Pretty sure she sprained her ankle, could be worse by how much it's swelling."
Angela frowned, "Oh my God Maura, you have to be more careful."
"Yeah I know, it's what I get for not paying attention," Maura shrugged. "May I hold Julian?"
Angela nodded, "That'd be great actually," she took him out of the stroller and went to hand Julian to Maura. "Geez Maura, your ankle looks horrible."
"Come on Ma, leave her alone," Jane grabbed her mother by the arm walking with her to the kitchen. "Why are you here without Korsak, he always comes with you."
"Just because I'm married to him doesn't mean I can't do my own thing," Angela snapped. "Can't I just come to see my daughter?"
"Yeah Ma, of course you can. Something's wrong though, isn't it? Is everything okay at home?" Jane asked, finishing making the tea.
"Things are just fine Jane," Angela sighed.
"Doesn't seem like it to me. Talk to me Ma."
"Go give your injured wife her tea," Angela sat down and Jane nodded, going to give Maura her mug of tea.
"Are you going to be able to hold Julian and your tea?"
"Yeah, got to get used to having my hands full," Maura smiled, "I'll be alright."
Jane nodded, going back to the kitchen, sitting on the stool next to her mother. "So care to share to me how things are fine? I can see right through you Ma, I've had years of practice."
"Vince doesn't want me to go back to work," Angela sighed, there was no reason for hiding it from Jane.
"Oh, well I thought you liked being a stay at home mom. That working at the Robber was just temporary."
"That's exactly what he said. The thing is Jane, I can be a mother and have a job, sure I enjoyed being home with you and your brothers growing up, but just working somewhere makes me feel like I have purpose."
"Ma, you do have purpose, you're a mother, plus it's not such a bad thing to not have to work long shifts. Endless hours on your feet, I get why you want to though. Not being a detective anymore it's well, it's difficult and to be honest I kind of miss it. I know I'm the one who made this decision to change but it was part of who I am... well who I was. If working makes you feel like you have purpose I say by all means go for it. Do what you think is best for you, Korsak will just have to deal with it."
Angela smiled, "I mean Frankie and Susie already offered to help watch Julian at night if Vince and I are both working. I think they like helping out with him, ever since that day at that you're pregnant party I could see how comfortable they were with him. It's nice seeing Frankie so... domestic, he really lucked out with Susie, they really seem to fit, plus I know Frankie with someone makes Tommy not have doubts that Frost will leave him eventually. I'm glad that whole mess is over with."
Jane nodded, "Me too, it was an absolute mess, and now all your kids are happy."
"That they are, everyone is finally where they're supposed to be. And maybe one day I'll be blessed with even more grandkids."
"Yeah, always been a dream of yours, having tons of little kids to watch after. You haven't been bugging Frankie about it, have you? I know how much you've pestered me about giving you grandkids."
"No I haven't been bugging him, then he'd not help me out with Julian so willingly."
Jane smiled. "See you're learning Ma, I'm so proud of you."
"I'm proud of myself too, and I'm very proud of you and what you've become. My Janie's going to be a real mother and I couldn't be happier."
"Yeah, it's going to be very interesting indeed. Did you want some tea or something, I'm kind of hungry," Jane got up from the stool.
"Jane, you sit, let me take care of you and your wife, it's what I'm good at."
Jane nodded, sitting back down, "You sure are Ma and I love you for everything you do."
"It's good to finally feel appreciated."
"I always appreciated you Ma."
"Well you sure had a funny way to show it," Angela shook her head with a smirk.
"What can I say I'm very stubborn and independent. Sorry if I ever made you feel unwanted."
"That's water under the bridge sweetie, no harm no foul. You make me feel good now these days, and that's all that matters." Angela looked at her daughter before giving her a hug, she was so proud of the woman she's become.
Maura was told after going to the doctor for her ankle later that day to stay off of her feet for the next couple of days and that she should feel better in no time. She was even wearing a boot and she hated it. She hated not being able to wear heels, she even disliked how Kent insisted on her staying at her desk while she was at work.
"You know Maura, if you stayed home you wouldn't have to be stuck at the desk," he had his arms crossed, leaning against the door. Jane used to do that when she worked here. Maura sighed.
"I'm fine Kent, I have tons of paperwork that I still need to take care of. Plus I already plan to leave early, Jane is coming to pick me up and we're going to the doctor to check up on her pregnancy."
"How's Jane doing with the pregnancy anyways? She doesn't really stop by as often as she used to."
"Well she has other jobs to do, she's quite occupied, sure I'd love if she could visit, but we have all the time we want together when we're both at home, like when I was there on Wednesday."
Kent nodded, "You mean when you hurt your ankle?"
"That was just bad timing and I wasn't focused on where I was going. Anyways, it's sort of peaceful here, so I don't mind. I should get back to work though Kent. Thanks for checking up on me."
"Not a problem, it's what I here for Maura," he flashed her a smile, "If there's anything you need, just let me know," he added before he turned on his heel and went back to autopsy.
Maura rubbed the sides of her head, putting the papers in a stack that she was looking at. She dug through her drawer and found some headache medicine, taking a sip of her water to help the pill go down.
The hours dragged by for Maura, it felt like a decade before she seen her wife.
"Hey Maura, you okay there?" Jane glanced at her wife in concern.
"I feel like hell, I take it that it's finally time to go to the appointment."
"Yeah, just got done on a walk with Frost around the block. He seems really odd today, and he just needed some company of his best friend. Why do you feel like hell exactly?" she asked, sitting on the corner of her desk.
Maura sighed. "Feel like I'm getting a migraine, I took medicine for it hours ago, doesn't seem to want to go away."
"Hmm. That sounds like Kent was here."
"He checked up on me a few times, it's sweet but quite excessive."
Jane nodded, "He's worried about you babe. Are you sure that you just don't want to go home, I can take you there and just go to my appointment with Ma."
Maura shook her head, "I want to go with you Jane, to all your appointments. I'll be fine," she stood up and groaned, suddenly feeling dizzy.
"Maura..." Jane went to hold her by the arm.
"I'm fine, just got a little dizzy is all. Good thing we're going to the doctor's, right?"
Jane nodded, "Yeah, I do hope that you're going to be okay," she kissed the side of her head, going to grab Maura's crutches. "Feel okay enough to use these safely?"
"I would hope so," she sighed and the slowly started their trek to Jane's car. Jane helped her in and soon they were on their way to the hospital.
"Did you eat anything today?" Jane asked as she tried to find a parking spot.
"I had my usual salad and Susie gave me half of her sandwich," she answered. "I feel a little better than I did." Maura took off her seat belt when Jane finally found a spot. Jane and Maura went into the doctor's office to sign in.
They sat in the waiting room only for a while before they were called into the OBGYN room. Jane couldn't stop glancing at Maura, she did look better than she did at work. Maura insisted that she was fine now and they could just focus on checking up on the baby.
"So how are you this afternoon Jane?" the doctor asked.
"I'm doing pretty well Doc. Ready to get this cold ass gel on my stomach and see the progress of the baby, I've been throwing up less this week, almost the end of my first trimester."
Maura smiled proudly at her wife, "She's been doing great at keeping track of things. I'm very proud of her."
"Thanks Maura."
"I mean I'm always proud of you," Maura told her, mostly to distract Jane from the gel being placed on her belly. Jane hissed at the cold feeling, laying back against the chair.
"Doc, I swear it feels colder each time," Jane turned to look at Maura. "I'm so very lucky to have you and to be having this baby. We really lucked out huh?"
"Uh yeah... we lucked out alright..." Maura turned to the screen, she looked surprised and Jane took notice, "Um Doc, am I seeing this correctly?"
"Yeah that's exactly what it looks like."
"Maura, come on don't make that face, something's wrong isn't there? Now I'm not sure that I want to look," Jane frowned, focusing her attention on her wife.
"Jane, there's nothing wrong per say it's just, a tad surprising is all, just look at the screen," Maura grabbed Jane's hand. Jane sighed, before turning to look at the screen.
"Uh what the hell is that?" Jane asked, tapping at the screen.
"That Jane is an image of two amniotic sacs," the doctor told her. "You're having twins."
"Did you just say..." she turned to her wife, "Maura tell me I'm hallucinating and he did not say that we... we're having... twins."
Maura sighed, "Jane, you heard him correctly, you're having twins, the proof is right there," she nodded towards the screen, still in shock herself.
"But twins... Maura we wanted one kid, not two, not at the same time. I am not physically or mentally prepared to handle two..."
"I'll leave you two alone for a moment," the doctor took off his gloves and left the room to give them some privacy.
"This is crazy Maura I can't... we can't possibly take care of two sets of twins..." Jane groaned, running fingers through her hair in frustration.
"Hey, calm down sweetheart. It's going to be alright."
"How can you sound so calm at a time like this?" Jane asked, sounding defeated.
"Maybe because I don't want to make my headache worse, maybe because I'm still in shock at the fact you're pregnant with twins. It's definitely a lot to take in but... you're still going to be an amazing parent, and we're going to get through this together... remember I'm not going anywhere and remember how proud you were of Camille for being able to handle raising twins on her own for four years. How strong she was as a person, how you admired her like she was your little sister. There's nothing Jane Rizzoli-Isles can't handle," she kissed Jane's hand.
Jane sighed, feeling herself calm down at Maura's words, "You're right, Camille was able to raise two amazing kids and they are pretty mature for their age. I bet she was freaked out when she found out she was having twins. I don't know how long it'll take until this shock wears off."
"It could take a while, but you got me and everyone else to help out. We'll find a way to manage this I promise."
"Thanks Maura."
"For what?" Maura asked quietly, as she kept glancing at the screen, even though it was blank now.
"You know exactly what to say and that you insisted on coming, I'm so glad I didn't tell Ma to come, she'd be so excited she'd embarrass me."
"Like I said Jane, I want to go to all of your appointments. We're a team, you and I and whatever happens I'm always going to be by your side."
Jane smiled, "I love you Maura."
"I love you too babe, forever and always, me and you plus two," Maura leaned up to give Jane a kiss, Jane kissed back for a moment feeling more calm than she was previously. Maura was right they would be able to handle this, just like everything else that had come in their way. At least they had each other and they always would. "So did you want to get people together and tell them the news?"
Jane shrugged, "Or we can just call them individually."
"Here's what we can do, contact our families and just invite them over for dinner, those who come will get to know first, and I'm sure Angela will happily tell whoever missed out on the news," Maura suggested.
"You know I guess we can handle that, a small get together, I can already probably tell who won't be able to make it."
Maura sighed, knowing exactly who Jane meant, "Yeah, well it'll be worth a shot, she did show up to that lunch Angela put together, she might show up for this. There's honestly no telling with her, plus it's short notice."
Jane squeezed Maura's hand, "I'm sorry how often you feel neglected by Constance, it's really not fair."
"It is what it is," Maura shrugged, the doctor came back with a few papers in his hands.
"Did you have enough time to handle the news?" he asked. "I got some pamphlets on twin pregnancy and other things you might need to know, plus your latest sonogram photos."
"Thanks Doc, still a little in shock about the twins, but I'll definitely read these," Jane smiled.
"Any more questions that either of you have?"
"Uh yeah, just one, when will we be able to find out what kind of twins I'm having."
"Well, you're only on week 12 now, so in about 6 weeks more, if they're in a good position to be able to see them properly."
Jane looked at Maura for a moment and nodded. "Thanks, see you in six weeks then, unless anything else were to happen."
"Let's hope for no problems," the doctor smiled, "You ladies have a good day, alright?"
"Yeah Doc, you as well," Jane got up from the chair, getting Maura's crutches as they headed to their car. The car ride back home was spent with Maura texting the family and seeing all who was available for dinner. She wondered if everyone else would handle the news better than they both did.
They decided that instead of making dinner because of the time, they would go pick up some pizza, Jane was sure her brothers and the twins would enjoy some.
It was about an hour later when Jane's family, and Hope came to the house, she brought her man friend Ron. The boys and the twins already devoured most of the pizza. Angela was feeding Julian while Ron and Korsak were watching television, Hope and Maura in a conversation as Jane was talking to Frost asking how he was doing, since he seemed off during their walk.
"I'm alright Jane, just sometimes when I'm doing stuff I lose focus, work is proving to be very difficult, I was actually thinking about taking some time off. You were right when you said I was going back to work too early, it's more than I thought it would be."
Jane nodded, "You do need rest Frost, it's good for daily functions and I'm sure that yoga might help calm your mind and help you relax. Maura's a great yoga partner, and honestly maybe that can be something you both do together."
"I don't know Jane, yoga seems kind of..." he stopped, trying to think of the word.
"I never liked yoga at first either Frost, but I did end up having a really nice view when Maura and me did yoga alone, but don't you look at my wife's ass when you participate."
Frost chuckled, "Even if I did stare at your wife, she just doesn't do anything for me, so you wouldn't need to worry," he patted his arm. "So are you going to tell us all why you and Maura invited us over?"
"I seriously almost forgot about that, wow and here I thought that would be all I would be thinking about, gather everyone in the living room, alright Frost?"
"Yeah of course," he nodded and Jane went to go into the dining room where Maura and Hope were talking.
"Hey Maura, it's time for our announcement. Everyone is joined in the living room"
Maura looked at her mother, "Mind going to join the others, Jane and I will be right there."
"Alright sweetheart, I'm really interested in what's going on," she kissed her daughter's cheek, giving Jane a smile before heading into the living room, sitting down next to Ron.
"So Constance finally got back to me, she wants to meet us up for lunch tomorrow, you up for it?"
Jane shrugged, "Yeah, I don't see why not, she's making time to see us, so that's a plus."
"I'd like to think so," Maura linked her arm with Jane's, Jane helped her walk to the living room, more like hobble, neither of them could wait until she got that boot off. Jane held onto her wife as they stood in front of everyone.
"Alright so to start off this announcement, Maura and I had my appointment to check on how me and the baby have been doing, and let's just say the good news is nothing is going wrong with the pregnancy," Jane started, and Maura continued for her wife.
"While we were at the appointment, we did get some pretty unexpected news though," Maura took out the picture of the sonogram, "As you can tell there are two amniotic sacs and two fetuses forming inside of Jane."
"Did you say fetuses?" Tommy asked, looking at the picture in Maura's hand. "Wait does that mean?"
"Yes, Jane is having twins," Maura nodded.
"Twins?" Todd and Kate asked at the same time, smiles on their faces.
Jane's face fell slightly, "Um yeah, I'm having... twins," she spoke and then everyone congratulated them, Angela of course had tears in her eyes more than anyone else.
"My little Janie is giving me two grandbabies? Jane, you don't know how happy that makes me," she gave her daughter a hug, Korsak going for a shoulder pat.
"You excited there Jane?"
"Thrilled," Jane spoke in a low tone, pushing her mother away from the hug. "Ma, can you try not to squeeze me?"
"Oh my God Jane, I'm sorry, I'm just... this is amazing."
"I can't believe you're going to have twins Jane," Hope looked up at the taller woman, "You don't seem too enthused, neither of you," she looked between Maura and Jane.
"We're just a little in shock about the news, but it's a relief seeing you guys react okay. I was hoping it'd be like that," Maura admitted, not knowing why she was concerned that the family wouldn't take the news well.
"Well I just know both of those babies will have so much love and attention," Hope kissed both of their cheeks. "If you ever need help with anything at all, just let me know, I'd love to help."
"Thanks Hope, that honestly means a lot, I think we're going to need a lot of it," Jane nodded, giving her a side hug. "We're going to need help from everyone, that's for sure."
"You girls are both pretty strong though, I know you can both handle anything. If you put your minds to it," Hope grinned and Angela nodded.
"I couldn't have said it any better myself. You might not be so excited by the news at the moment, I'm sure it's a lot to take in, and your minds must be filled with so many thoughts..."
"Ma, you're not really helping," Jane sighed, looking over at Maura. "I think it's time for our guests to go about their days, don't you?"
"If they want, I mean they don't have to go if they don't want to..." she started, but Jane gave her a look and Maura nodded, "Um, I mean if you want to go get some rest... you can, I don't mind having the company over for a little longer."
Jane shrugged her shoulders and nodded, "Alright, but warning you now, I might be sleeping the time you come up to bed," she kissed the side of Maura's head before saying her good nights to everyone and heading upstairs. Maura sighed watching her wife, she really hoped that Jane was going to be alright.
The next couple of days were going pretty okay for Maura and they were better when she was able to take her boot off, sure there was still pain but not as bad as before. Sometimes she had a few dizzy spells but she insisted that nothing was wrong and that she just stood up too fast. She didn't want to worry Jane, especially when Jane was still in shock about the whole being pregnant with twins situation and she seemed kind of depressed.
Sometimes Maura found her wife standing in front of the mirror, a frown on her face as she observed her body. She found Jane muttering to herself about how she wouldn't be able to do this, how maybe wanting to get pregnant wasn't all it was cut out to be. Maura had to reassure Jane that it was going to be alright. Jane always just nodded, got dressed for the day and went to work. Jane was in her makeshift office in the guest house more often then not.
Maura knew that Jane would bounce back eventually, even if not for the pregnancy at the moment, there was always the fact that the Red Sox were going to the World Series and that was something Jane always enjoyed focusing on, her love for sports distracted her from her pregnancy, even though you could see her growing stomach.
Jane was currently in the living room on the couch, deciding to join her brothers, Frost and Kent in watching the first game of the World Series. The twins were at Angela's and Maura had gone shopping with Susie. Jane didn't want to go shopping for maternity clothes, Maura was sure to measure Jane's waist this morning so they could get the estimate on what kind of clothes she needed to fit comfortably.
Jane looked at Frankie during a commercial, while Kent went to the bathroom and the other boys went to make some food in the kitchen, "So how's it shacking up with Susie? She annoyed by any of your habits yet?"
"Actually Jane it's going pretty well, insanely well, you know she lets me walk around in just my boxers with no complaints. She still wants to be fully dressed herself, says I would be too tempted otherwise if she just wore a robe."
"Yeah that's great," Jane rolled her eyes. "I wasn't asking to hear about that though. You guys are safe though, right? Trust me you don't want to slip up and end up... in my predicament."
"Of course I'm safe Jane, we both are, plus helping Ma out with Julian is all the baby I think we're going to need for a while. Doesn't mean we don't enjoy doing things. At least we aren't as bad as those two," he nodded towards their brother and Frost making out in the kitchen.
Jane shook her head, "Yeah not as bad as those two my ass, Maura told me about your make out session with Susie just outside the lab the other day," she seen her brother's face flush. "Yeah all of us Rizzolis are bad about control of our sexual desires." Jane grabbed a pillow from the couch and tossed it at Tommy, hitting him right in the back of his head.
"Jane, what the hell?" he turned to face his sister glaring at her, rubbing the back of his head.
"If you two want to do that, go home."
"We're just waiting for the food to finish Jane, it'll be done in a minute, promise," Frost explained, his hand up in surrender.
"I got my eyes on the both of you."
"What'd I miss?" Kent asked, sitting back down next to Frankie.
"Tommy got in trouble, nothing new," he chuckled, leaning back on the couch, placing his feet on the table just as Maura and Susie came in.
"Frankie Rizzoli, get your feet off of the furniture," Susie scolded and Jane laughed as Frankie quickly sat up acting like he was doing nothing wrong.
"Yes dear," Frankie nodded, Kent snickered.
"I see who's the one in charge."
"Oh shut up," Frankie slapped his friend in the arm before getting up to greet Susie with a kiss on the cheek. "Did you have fun shopping?"
"Yes Maura and I had an absolutely wonderful time. I got you something actually," she pulled out a hat and put it on his head. "It's amazing the lack of Red Sox gear you have, and you call yourself a fan, but I did get one to match," she smiled, grabbing another one from the bag, putting it on her own head. "It's not too much, is it?"
"Not at all, you look adorable," he smiled, "Come join me on the couch to watch the game."
"Yes dear," Susie went to go join Frankie on the couch sitting next to Kent as Maura was showing Jane all that she'd gotten for her.
"They had a lot of stuff, I kind of gotten carried away, tons of stuff was on sale, who knew there was a maternity clothes season."
"And none of it looks tacky, I'm impressed."
"Why would I even buy anything even remotely close to being tacky. I'm a lady of fine taste remember."
"Oh don't I know it, my fine lady," Jane winked and Maura grinned. "Wanna join the Red Sox watch party?"
"With you, of course, is there even space?" Maura looked over to everyone in the living room.
"I know exactly how to fit us both, come on," Jane took Maura by the hand and they sat together on the recliner before Jane lifted the footrest so her and Maura could stretch their legs. "See, perfect amount of space," Jane kissed the top of her head. "I'm glad you came back, too much testosterone in this house."
"You are feeling better right? I could tell you were a little distant and depressed the past couple of days."
"Yeah I feel pretty good, being surrounded by family really helps than being alone, even if I was alone by choice."
"Well I'm glad you're feeling well," Maura rested her head on Jane's shoulder, snuggling close to her, enjoying the way Jane relaxed against her.
Well there you have it Maura and Jane are having twins, I loved writing their reactions, surprised as hell. Jane is a tad bit depressed, and Maura is having on and off dizzy spells. Not to mention their argument at the beginning (is it bad I sort of enjoyed it?) Let's hope both of our girls will be okay. And poor Frosty is still struggling since his injuries, but it gives Jane and Frost good friendship scenes. Family bonding time always has it's moments too, I love writing Jane and her family almost as much as I enjoy writing Rizzles.
