Angela's visit turned out to be a blessing for everybody. She spent a lot of time with her grandkids. And usually when Maura and Jane got up in the morning, coffee and breakfast was already ready. When they came home after their long and sometimes straining days, they found a delicious meal on the table.

"I'm going to gain so much weight." Jane complained playfully once when she sat on the couch in Maura's office. The blonde chuckled.

In reality she enjoyed these days with her mother. Not only because she cooked and took care of the kids, but also because of the talks, the hugs and her emotional support. Most of the evenings they sat on the deck in the pre summer warmth with a glass of wine and enjoyed each other's company.

Sometimes Jane was overwhelmed with the love and support from everybody in her family which showed in many different ways. Yet there were times when it was hard for her to accept this support.

One evening when Angela was gone again, she caught herself missing her mothers presence. Hell! She muttered and rolled her eyes playfully.

"I think we should start looking for a donor." She mumbled to Maura who shot her a surprised look. Its been two weeks since the doctor's appointment. Jane had needed the time; she had needed for things around Casey had cooled down. The investigation was done, the proofs were solid. Now they had to wait for the trial to start.

"I haven't forgotten." Jane smiled at Maura's surprised look and flashed her dimples.

"I never assumed that you would forget Jane. It's just that I thought that you might wanna wait until the whole thing is over."

"I still want the baby. And I still want it now." Her hands reached over the table to cup Maura's. Their eyes locked and she noticed how the hazel eyes were enlightened by the last sunrays. It hit her that she wouldn't mind being lost in these beautiful eyes forever.

"Let's go inside and check for some sperm banks. Shall we?" Jane whispered, patting Maura's knees.

R&I

It felt weird to flip through the stranger's files like through any online shopping portal. Jane, who was used to checking files of people had a hard time to adjust to the system of the sperm bank they had chosen. Maybe it was that her eyes were used to scan for criminal records and other stuff, rather then checking for height, eye colors and hobbies.

"I don't know, Maur. Maybe we should choose Kent after all." The brunette exclaimed, rubbing her tired eyes in frustration. "To me they all look the same!"

The blonde sighed and lifted her eyes from the screen towards Jane. "I know what you mean." She muttered.

It took them four more frustrating visits to the catalogue until they had narrowed down their list of potential candidates to three. All of them had hazel eyes and blonde hair.

"I'm going for the med student." The brunette stated one night determined. "And the turkey baster!"

Maura frowned slightly, feeling suddenly nervous and excited. "When?" she only asked, stunned and in awe. They had been monitoring Janes cycle for a while now and they knew that the next possibility to give it a shot – literally – was in 10 days. 10 days should be enough to mentally prepare, Jane thought and mentioned this to Maura.

The blonde hesitated to Janes surprise.

"Cmon, we are not getting younger." Jane chuckled softly, nudging Maura slightly.

Maura took a deep breath. "You're right. Let's do it in 10 days then!"

R&I

While Maura had calmed down over the last days, Jane started to become more and more nervous as the chosen date approached. Her desk reflected the chaos in her mind. Not that it had ever been clean, but this was different. Cases were piling up as they had a lot of cases to work.

The bullpen was buzzing with people and activity and everybody – Maura too – worked longer hours than usual. Of course, this wasn't the real reason why she was so nervous. She knew that she still had control over work.

She looked for her phone which had slid under a pile of papers when it buzzed, grateful for some distraction. It was a message from Angela who announced that she would be coming on Friday to pick up the girls. Summer holidays were just a few days away and they had agreed that Julia and Sophie would spend two weeks in Boston with the elder Rizzoli.

Both girls were already looking forward to it, as did their grandmother. "It will be so nice to have some life in the house." Angela raved about it all the time. Jane thought that her mother had no idea what she was getting herself into and smiled. Despite having raised three kids practically on her own, the girls could be quite a challenge.

She quickly typed okay as an answer and then focused back on the work. She didn't have to wait for the next interruption.

Come to the morgue, asap! – m

After checking the watch on her computer, the brunette decided that it was time to move a bit anyways and stood to make her way to the morgue, wondering what had prompted Maura to write her this message.

R&I

"What is it?" she asked after pushing the doors to the morgue wide open, walking straight to the steel table. Maura, who was dressed in her usual black scrubs glanced up from the body. Not another problem with a colleague Jane hoped as she saw angry eyes drilling into hers.

"There is something you need to see." The blonde took off her gloves and instructed her assistant to close the body on the table as they were already finished with the autopsy. Jane silently followed her wife into her office.

"Close the door." Maura instructed her and Jane did as she was asked.

"What is it, Maur?" she asked again once they could talk in private. Janes patience was wearing thin as she thought of the work she had left behind. But at the same time she was worried about what was going on.

Soon enough she understood the problem. They had a mole in the lab, leaking information to the press.

"I'll take care of it." Jane was now as angry as Maura. There was already a plan forming in her mind how to possibly find out who was responsible for it.

R&I

By Friday the situation had relaxed a bit and they were getting the luggage ready for the kids. They worked as a team. Jane putting the underwear into the suitcases lay open on the bed. Maura bringing the sox, followed by the t-shirts delivered by Jane again.

They were just done with packing when the doorbell announced Angela's arrival. "I'll take care of it." Maura announced, laughing at Jane who was sitting on Sophies suitcase in order to be able to close it.

Jane grunted first, and then cheered after completing her task. The brunette glanced mischievously at Julia's suitcase which was also cramped beyond reasonable. We need to buy more suitcases she thought as she walked over to the piece of luggage.

The air was cool after it had rained the entire day. Still the three women were sitting on the deck enjoying a glass of wine while the kids played in their room. Angela told them the plans for the next two weeks and gave them the latest news from Boston.

It felt good to catch up for all of them. Frankie joined them for a beer after work.

Jane took her time saying good night to the two little monsters. She sighed, realizing that she somehow missed them already. They could be monsters, but they could also be so sweet. "Good night sweethearts." She whispered one last time before leaving the room to Maura who also stayed longer than usual.

When she walked out of the room, she found Angela standing by the door, a soft smile was playing on her mothers' lips. "You two are great mothers." She said and hugged Jane quickly before walking into the guestroom.

Jane still wondered how her mother had changed. But hadn't they all?
