Friday the Rizzoli-Isles family boarded the private jet of Maura's parents, as the blonde had insisted on it. Even if this meant that she had to swallow her pride and ask her father, who didn't seem to hold as much of a crunch towards her than Constance. But Jane knew that their relationship wasn't good either at the influence of the elder Rizzoli. She suspected somehow that she told her husband what to think or do. Having betrayed her when Maura was a child, he agreed on almost everything out of guilt.

But he had managed to arrange their flight to Boston and home behind Constance's back. Jane leaned on the crutches Maura had bought her so that she could move around, and watched the kids hop around in excitement. Maura was talking to the pilot. When it was safe for them to board the plane, the blonde waved them over.

Jane almost tripped when Julia crossed her path because the girls were chasing each other. Maura walked over to her. "Are you all right, honey?" she softly asked as the brunette took a deep breath. In her eyes another crucial sign that she was older as this incident had almost given her a heart attack.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She smiled after some deep breaths. "What?" she smirked when Maura started to laugh. The blonde quickly pressed her lips against Janes. "You chase a guy who has a gun which he already used against an officer boldly. But you almost get a heart attack when Julia almost make you fall. I don't get it. But its very sweet. YOU Jane Rizzoli are very sweet."

Jane grunted as she gave it a thought. Hell, Maura was right. "its because I'm not trained for such dangerous situations in my private life like I'm trained on the job to chase a bad guy." She muttered under her breath as she followed Maura who now held the kids firmly by their hands to the plane.

Once in the plane she stretched her legs and sighed. Glancing towards the blonde she silently thanked her wife for organizing the private jet. The flight wasn't long, but she would have died with the plaster. Maura shot her a quick smile before returning her attention to Sophie and Julia who asked tons of questions, some of which even Maura couldn't answer.

"I never saw you speechless, dr. googlemouth." Jane teased her, when the girls had fallen asleep due to the tiredness after the excitement.

Maura blushed briefly, as if it was a horrible mistake not to know everything, but then she remembered that it was just Jane teasing her and that it had a different meaning than if her mother did say the same.

"I told you so. But you never believed me." she stated matter of factly.

"The scientist in me has proof now, that you are right. You don't know everything. But it wouldn't matter because I love you either way." Jane teased. They approached their faces to share a kiss.

After a short flight the plane made it safe to Boston, where Frankie was already waiting for them. Jane quickly glanced towards the restaurant she had been waiting for her brother almost a year ago. She recalled how Maura and she had met there for the first time in a long time. How Maura had asked if the seat was taken. And everything that followed. It had felt strange to walk into a house which had once been her home back then. It felt strange again, to walk into it as if it was her home.

Frankie took his time to greet Julia and Sophie. He received lots of hugs and wet kisses and grinned from ear to ear. Then he gave Jane a firm hug. "Good to see you, Janie." He said with a big smile. "And of course, you too, Maura. Ma is going to be so happy about your surprise coming."

"I hope so. But its also good to see you and Tommy and the rest of the gang too."

"So, on what kind of date did you go this time?" Frankie teased and pointed to the cast on Janes leg. A mischievous grin was playing around his mouth.

"Maura has nothing to do with it this time." She paused to wiggle her eyebrows and continued more seriously. "It happened at work."

"Did you at least get him?" her brother asked as they all climbed into his car after loading the luggage into the trunk. "You can be sure of it. That son of a… uhm… you know."

Maura who was seated in the back with the kids rolled her eyes but smiled. Sometimes she missed Janes swearing and stubbornness. Well of the last she had gotten much more over the last week, since Jane hadn't been able to move around. Then she had been picky concerning the food. But Maura kind of loved if she was that way. It made her laugh, and knowing that Jane knew, she assumed that the brunette did that on purpose sometimes.

"I'm sorry we're almost late. Do you still wanna go and change?"

Jane denied, they had calculated this in, unfortunately they hadn't been able to fly earlier without Constance getting to know what was going on. "We're fine. Where is the party?"

"Its at the dirty robber. Tommy, Nina and I did our best. I think that if it weren't for Nina, this whole operation wouldn't have been a success." They spent some time talking about Nina and their relationship. And the little baby Rizzoli that was on the way.

"Don't mention words like fat, pickles or talk about birth. She doesn't take it as a joke." He instructed them before they rushed into the bar. There was a great hello, as they made the round to greet everybody. Jane was astonished about the size of Nina's belly. Now she understood why the woman wouldn't like hearing the word fat, even if it was in other relations than her body.

For a moment she tried to remember if her belly had had that size when she had been pregnant with Julia. She didn't think so, but maybe she had pushed this memory away out of awkwardness.

"Twins." Frankie whispered as he gave her a beer. "Nobody knows yet."

"Looks more like triplets to me." Maura stated in her typical serious manner before Jane could make a remark that Angela Rizzoli probably did know or at least suspect after having three kids on her own.

"Shhhhh" Frankie said and glared at her, but it was too late. Nina had heard it and smirked. "If these are triplets, I'm going to kill you Francesco Rizzoli. And I'm going to do it in a way that even your sister won't be able to solve the case."

Frankie rolled her eyes and stood still, while they waited. Angela would be here any minute. "Uhh, she's really not joking is she?" Jane whispered to him and gave him a soft nudge. "Nope. Not at all. I hope the babies are born soon. She is not the only one dreaming of the perfect murder." They chuckled, which earned them another stern look from Nina.

The little group didn't notice when Angela entered the bar. They only realized it, when everybody else started to shout: Happy birthday, Angela!

The elder woman acted surprised until she saw Jane and Maura, Sophie and Julia. Then, she was really surprised. There were long hugs and rubbing of their backs during the hugs. Happy faces. It was only later when Angela leaned into Jane and pointed to her leg. "Another date?" she chuckled at her joke and Jane knew that they would never get rid of this joke, which was clearly on them. After rolling her eyes dramatically she joined the laughter.

"We brought you a present, granny. Wanna see it?" Julia asked and tugged at Angela's chair. They had planned to give her the presents later, but Julia and Sophie were too excited. Therefore, Maura reached into the bag they had brought, and took out the wrapped gift. "Its to make pasta, Mommy said." Sophie said smartly, then quickly lifted both hands to cover her mouth, blushing.

"I'm sorry." she whispered as Jane pulled her closer to leave a kiss on her forehead. "It's okay, sweetie. This happened to all of us when we were your age."

"That's true." Angela confirmed with a stern look at the siblings who blushed. She unwrapped the gift and took out the pasta machine. "This is great! I love it!" she said and stood to hug the Rizzoli-Isles family. "I always wanted to have one. But they are so expensive. And aunt Talucci said, that …" Angela was interrupted by Julia who moved into her arms. "I missed you granny." She said and Jane noticed how a small tear made its way down her mothers' cheek as she pulled Julia and Sophie closer. " I missed you too."

Later when dinner was done, they stood and walked around to talk to all the guests.

"Boring?" Jane silently asked and nudged TJ who was standing alone at the bar. She lent on the counter next to him and took a sip from her beer. "One day I want to have what you have. Such a nice little family with kids. I bet your live never gets boring."

Jane followed his eyes and saw Julia and Sophie fooling around. "Nope. Can't say that I am bored one minute in my life. But its worth it. I never thought that this would happen. So, as your aunt, and a genuine Rizzoli, I can tell you, that you might have to wait. But it will be worth it."

"Yeah, you need to be a special person to keep up with the Rizzoli's and their madness." Nina confirmed joining the group.

"See, I told you. Look what beautiful and patient women we all found."

"The key word here is patient." Nina said, sipping at some alcohol-free cocktail. "I miss the times when I could drink alcohol though. It was much more fun back then." She smirked and Jane knew that it was half a joke.

"I missed drinking alcohol too when I was pregnant. But not half of how I missed coffee."

"Omg, coffee!" Nina groaned. "I would kill for a cup of coffee."

Jane chuckled, recalling the feeling when she wanted to destroy everything and kill everybody because she missed out on things and she felt just fat and grumpy because she couldn't even see her feet anymore.

"When are you due?" she asked wondering why TJ was still there. Must be deadly boring she thought, listening to two women talking about their pregnancies.

"It could happen anytime soon now. That's why Frankie isn't drinking too." She pointed to her husband who was just playing along with the kids. "He is going to be a great father." Jane said. "He was always great with Julia."

"I know. You Rizzoli's have that in you. Somehow you make one want to kill you, but you are all soft and kind at heart. I hope these" she touched her monster belly "are going to be more like your family than mine."

Jane smirked. "Be careful what you are wishing for." She joked.

It was later that night that Jane realized how TJ was walking along with her. She was his hero she thought. She did her best in giving him lots of hugs and touches, that he knew that he was appreciated and loved.

"So, tell me. How's it going at school?" she asked once they had found a quiet corner to talk.

The brunette watched how he fidgeted with his hands. "I got kicked out of school, because I uhm punched him after he called me a name. So, im working with dad now."

"I'm sorry to hear that. Can you go to another school?"

"He shrugged. Don't know. Don't even no if I ever want to see such a place anymore."

"But you were good at school. You could have gone to the BCU."

"Well I think its plumbing for me now." He shrugged. Janes heart broke when she saw how sad he looked.

"Would it be okay if I talked to your dad and Maura. Maybe we can work something out."

"Whatever." He said.

"Oh, come on. Life is full of ups and downs. There will come a time where the ride goes up again. Maybe there is a solution. Okay?"

"Okay."
