A heavy rainstorm had come up during the evening. It wouldn't have mattered as the party was still going on, if it hadn't been for the fact that Nina's water broke that evening.

While Jane was still trying to cheer up TJ, she noticed how somebody called Maura's name. She looked up and saw that Frankie made his way to her through the crowded room to the corner where Maura was standing and chatting with Korsak.

The brunette noticed that Frankie was nervous and decided to walk over to meet him with Maura. The blonde nodded as her brother whispered something into her ear, and Jane changed her direction when she saw how Korsak, Maura and Frankie vanished into the back room of the bar. Unfortunately, she was slowed down by her plaster and the crutches.

By the time she arrived there she found the door closed. Frankie opened slightly and peeked out, when she knocked. "Are you having a private party or what?" she chuckled. There was sweat on Frankie's face, he pulled her into the room without speaking.

Jane knew that Korsak had a little room there with a bed, in case it got late, so that he could sleep there. She also knew that he had never used it. Nina was lying on the bed and Maura was by her side, talking to her.

"Her water broke. None of us has service and there is a heavy rainstorm." Frankie whispered, looking all nervous and worried. "Its going to be okay." Jane said calmly, checking her phone to see if maybe she had a signal. Unfortunately, she hadn't.

"I don't know what to do Jane." Maura whispered, when she met her wife in the corner of the room, while Frankie had made its way to sit with Nina. "I have never done this before." There was clearly panic in her voice, like back then, when Jane had begged her to help Frankie who had been shot. Back then, when she had shot herself in order to safe Frankie and Maura. Jane bit her lip at that memory. But she knew exactly what to do from the situation.

"Listen, honey. Calm down. Breathe with me. We both know that you have all the information you need in this brilliant brain of yours. Its just the amygdala which kicked in and that blocks the memory. So, you need to close your eyes and to breathe with me."

Maura's hazel eyes were wide, but she nodded. She must really be in panic Jane mused as Maura had missed her hint to the part of the brain which took over if one was way out of his comfort zone and pnicked. The blonde did as she was told. When they stopped Jane started to ask her questions, which were immediately replied by the doc. "Good, see. You have all the knowledge." The blonde nodded again, walking back to the bed, pulling out some latex gloves from her purse and started to examine Nina.

"I need towels, hot water if possible." Her voice mouthed the orders. It wasn't exactly a piece of cake from then on, but it was going nicely. Everybody did as he was told, while Frankie got his hand crushed by Nina during the process.

Jane who couldn't crouch, stood next to Maura, assisting, handing her whatever she demanded. At first, she hadn't dared looking at the spot between Nina's legs. But as soon the head slowly appeared, she couldn't turn away. Mesmerized by the wonder of bringing a new life into the world.

Her memory was working an extra shift when she recalled giving birth to Julia. How badly she had wished for Maura to be there and help her through it all. She would have really cherished Maura googlemouthing and distracting her and wondered if Maura had felt the same about her when giving birth to Sophie. Had her husband been there? If they had talked about it, she couldn't remember as she continued shifting between her memories and reality.

This was going definitely faster than Julia's birth she thought, watching how the tiny body of a baby boy struggled its way into the life outside the womb. Once he had made it, he was silent as were all people in the room. It was just the blink of an eye, where nobody moved, spoke, and everybody held their breathes. All eyes were on the tiny face, which suddenly twitched as a loud cry cam out of his mouth.

One could feel some tension leave the room when they realized that he was okay. Maura softly put him onto Nina's breast, so that he could bond. When they lay skin on skin the boy got silent again. Frankie glanced at Jane, tears of joy shining in his eyes, together with pride and awe.

She nodded as she didn't trust herself to speak, being close to tears too. And then the siblings shared a smile. Janes eyes turned back to her wife, who was examining Nina's body, giving Frankie and Nina some privacy to share that special moment.

"Now?" she asked Maura silently who exhaled loudly.

"Now we wait until the second one decides to make its way into the world. This can be in a few minutes up to an hour." She shrugged, looking up at Jane who took one of the towels to softly wipe away some tear and sweat stains. Then she bent over to leave a soft kiss on the blonde's mouth.

"God, I love you." She whispered and Maura smiled. They were interrupted when Nina started to stir again. Jane wondered at first how it came that none of the other party guests heard the screams as they appeared to be so loud in her own ears, but she assumed that it was due to the music which was very loud too.

The second child turned out to be a girl, and Jane who had carried the boy, during the birth of his sister now laid him next to his sister onto Nina's chest. She watched how two tiny hands somehow moved towards each other, the little sister laying hers over her brothers.

Jane took out her mobile to take some pictures as Frankie asked her too. She found her hand shaking and the task a bit difficult. Maura stood, a strand of hair loose from her ponytail and hanging into her face. They silently moved into each other's arms, finding comfort in the warmth of the other ones embrace. The brunette could tell that the blonde was kind of exhausted. And when pulling apart she also noticed that Maura's expensive blouse was ruined. As she mentioned so, Maura just shrugged again. "Never mind. It wasn't my favorite. I'm glad that the two are well and alive."

When Jane pulled out her phone again to take more pictures, she noticed how she had service again now. The EMT was there in a quarter of an hour. They did some examination of mother and children, talking to Maura, before wheeling the patients out to the car. Frankie tossed Jane his car key, to drive with his family.

When they reemerged into the bar room, all eyes turned to them. Angela was standing at the front of the crowd, a questioning looks on her face. It was then when Jane realized that Maura and her, still wore a quite serious face.

"A boy and a girl. The doctors say that they are all healthy and fine." Jane spoke up her face breaking into a grin while the family and friends were just cheering and hugging each other. Jane felt her mother give her a tight hug. "Thank you!" she said. But Jane replied that she hadn't done anything but assist.

"Still thank you, Janie. For bringing your family to my birthday. For always being where you are needed." Jane blushed at her mother's words; she didn't quite know what to say. But she also felt that no more words were necessary, and her mother moved on to hug and thank Maura too.
