Jane sat at the hotels bar and nursed an orange juice. Most of her colleagues had gone out to party hard before they would return to their normal lives the next day. It was funny how everybody felt like a conference was an excuse to teenager like behavior she thought, and she really didn't want to know how many spouses or husbands had been and were going to be betrayed during this time.
Her mind travelled back to the call home, which had been earlier than usual so that she could talk to Julia and Sophie. A smile touched her face when she recalled the excited voices of her kids.
"You look beautiful." A tall blonde woman said, taking the seat next to her.
"Thank you." Jane replied taking a sip from her juice.
The blonde ordered a dry martini and sat in a way that Jane had a good look at her cleavage.
"You're pregnant." The woman stated and smiled at Jane while her hand was reaching towards the brunette's belly. "You know what they say about pregnant women. The have a certain look. I like that look on you." The blonde said bluntly and forward.
Jane who had sat in silence so far, turned to face the woman. "I'm sorry uhm…"
"Dawn." The woman said with a seductive smile.
"Yes. Uhm, I'm sorry Dawn, but I'm married, and I fought long enough for this relationship. I'm very happy and I don't feel the need to betray my wife." The brunette stated, taking the last sip of her juice before she slipped of her chair to leave.
"Shame, this could have been good." Dawn sing songed but Jane ignored it. "I don't think so." She mumbled. No one could give her what Maura gave her. There hadn't even been a second during their short conversation where the brunette had felt the need to flirt with this woman. Not even for fun.
Once back in her room she settled comfortably onto her bed, shaking her head in laughter. Somehow, she had thought to be safe after almost three days of no one hitting on her. She hadn't expected this to happen on her last evening. "Oh boy, at least we have learned a lot about legal justice over the past days, right?" Jane mumbled to her baby, which she supposed was sleeping because there was no kick.
She grabbed for her thriller and read a few pages before plugging in her earphones to listen to some music. Maura had uploaded some stuff to her iPhone before she had left and she hadn't once listened to the playlist yet.
The first song was one of her favorites. Janis Joplin was singing Mercedes Benz. As Jane went on listening, she noticed that despite putting on some strange yaya songs or meditation songs as she would have expected from Maura, the blonde had chosen only her favorites.
Oh yeah, she sighed. She would be a damn idiot to do anything which put this marriage into trouble. The blonde was her person and she felt touched because of the blonde's thoughtfulness.
I love you, Maur. She typed and added a music note emoji to let her know that she was listening to her playlist. They must have hit the sent button at the same time because two messages appeared simultaneously on the screen.
Good night, Jane. I love you. Xx M
Good night, babe. See you tomorrow. Xx Jane
R&I
The plane arrived in Boston on time. Janes heart jumped in joy as she was going to see Maura soon. Excited she glanced around when she walked through the exit of the terminal. It took her a while to spot the blue Prius which was waiting in lane.
She dropped her suitcase to the pavement as it started to weight heavy in her hands. Maura was too far away to walk with her luggage over to her car. The brunette waited patiently until the blonde was close.
The sun was shining, and Maura wore some sunglasses. She pulled them down as Jane climbed into the car after putting her suitcase into the trunk.
"Hey babe." She greeted and leant over to kiss her wife's cheek. She took a moment to inhale this beautiful smell of hers and as Maura turned her head their lips met. "Uh, I've missed this." Jane groaned, pausing. "I missed you. You look beautiful today."
Maura smiled. "I missed you too, Jane. Its unbelievable how hard it is to sleep without you."
They shared one more kiss before Maura focused onto the street again as the convoi started moving. After a cars length the traffic stopped again, and Jane used the opportunity to take Maura's hand. They laced up fingers, sharing another kiss.
"Uh, someone wants to say hello to you." Jane cringed briefly, untensing as the kick was gone. She led Maura's hand to her belly and made it rest on it. Baby Rizzoli kicked again, and Jane felt her heart beat go faster when an incredibly beautiful smile took possession of Maura's face.
"I definitely see why you think that its going to be a soccer." She chuckled happily.
"the baby is very active. Especially at night when I'm supposed to sleep." Jane smirked playfully towards her belly. She felt a peck to her cheek. "I love you." Maura whispered and they smiled at each other. "I love you too, Maur. And thank you for your playlist. It saved my life yesterday."
The blonde glanced towards her. "I had a hard time falling asleep because of the activity in my belly." Jane elaborated shrugging her shoulders.
"I bet you expected me to put on some meditation music, didn't you?" Maura nudged her side slightly with a teasing voice.
"You surprised me a bit maybe." Jane admitted with a grin. "It was a good surprise."
It took them one more hour in stop and go mode until they were finally able to leave La Guardia behind. They didn't mind though, spending the hour talking and catching up. Exchanging sweet kisses and holding hands.
There was no rush because the kids were safely guarded by Frankie and Nina. This was a good opportunity to go for dinner at their favorite French restaurant. Jane still didn't understand the menu although Maura had translated her several times over the years, but she ordered the same meal there every time anyways. She found their steak just delicious.
"You look just beautiful, Maur." Jane complimented the blondes black dress, feeling underdressed at the same time. Maura replied the compliment seemingly not minding Janes slightly wrinkled suit.
"Do you think Frankie would mind if the kids stayed till tomorrow?" Maura wiggled her eyebrows over her glass of red wine.
Jane laughed. "I actually had just the same thought. Let me text him." She took her phone out of her pocket quickly typing a few words.
The reply came back immediately, and Jane sighed. It said: yes. She told Maura that it was okay, and they decided to go for some dessert. Afterwards they walked hand in hand to Maura's car, stopping occasionally to exchange kisses and caress each other.
The Kisses got deeper and passionate once they were back at their home.
"I have to admit that this sex phone thing turned me on. But I still prefer the real thing." Jane chuckled laying sideways because it had become the most comfortable position to her. She bent down to Maura who was laying on her back and placed soft kisses onto her mouth, her nose and her forehead.
Their hands were laced up together and Jane comfortably rested her head on her popped up arm. "Me too." Maura said and let her thumb caress over Janes scars. "Me too." She whispered again.
She looked at jane when the brunette cringed because she had gotten kicked again. "It really is quite night active." Maura laughed, freeing her hand to touch the bare skin over Janes stomach. "Told you so." Jane grunted in surprise when another kick hit her insides.
"Hey, what do you think if we set up the nursery this week?" Jane asked, resting her hand on Maura's on her stomach.
"It's a great idea." Maura mumbled and Jane could see her getting sleepy. There was one last thing she finally wanted to know before they would close their eyes for the night.
"Have you seen the gender? Will we need pink or blue?"
Maura glanced at her, rolling into the same position as Jane was to face her better. "I don't know. First, I thought that it was going to be a girl. But I'm not sure after the last ultrasound. But I would prefer yellow in any way."
"Yellow is perfect." Jane smiled as she tugged a strand of loose blonde her behind Maura's ears.
