"I'm sorry.." Maura said as they walked hand in hand on their way back home from the cafe. Confused, Frankie replied, "Why?"
"Because I broke up your engagement. I know you want a family and I don't know if-" She was stopped by his lips. His hands had grabbed onto her cheeks trying to pull her in even more.
"Slow down. We don't need to talk about this right now. I came here to be with you because I wanted to. I don't care about the consequences. Yes having a mini Maura running around would be amazing. But right now, all I really need is you." He said as he gazed into her eyes telling her the truth.
"Well no. You need water, air, shelter, food, and a bunch of-"
He laughed at her so called Google Talk which made her smile. "No more Google talk." He said as he chuckled.
"Let's go back to my place and watch a movie." She suggested.
:) :) :) :) :) :) :)
"So you never really explained to me what happened with you and Clare.." Said Maura as they sat down to watch tv. "Not that it matters but I just-"
"You want to know that you didn't just have really great sex with an almost married man. I understand." He said as he put his arm around her. She snuggled in and put her ear against his chest near his heart and played with his other hand.
"It was great wasn't it?" She said as she laughed. He felt the vibration against his chest and nodded in agreement. "Oh yes." Frankie replied before he planted a kiss on her forehead.
He tried forgetting about the topic at hand and just looked into her eyes. The truth would hurt. Although he did break up with Clare, the way he did it was not very logical. She wouldn't let him go. So there was only one thing he could say to stop her.
He looked into her eyes and saw their future together. Two futures. One if he did lie and one if he told the truth. "I can't lie to her.." He thought. How do you lie to someone you're in love with.
Maura sensed something was wrong when he looked away. "What?" She said worried. "You didn't break up with her did you.."
"What? No! Of course I did. But what does it matter? You know I'd never cheat." He said trying to assure her that he did break up with Clare. "If you didn't cheat then I don't see the reason as to why you're not telling me!"
"It's just she wouldn't let me leave unless.." He said fading away. Intrigued, she took the front of his shirt into her palms and sat up. She was terrified about what he was going to say next. Truth be told, so was he. "Frankie." She said in a stern voice. "Please.."
He took her hands in his and looked into her eyes. Trying to find the right words. The best way to say it even though there was no best way.
"Okay but you really have to understand that I did what I did to be with you. I did this because she wouldn't give me an out to the relationship unless I said those words. I love you Maura a lot. Please don't get upset.."
"Okay. Was the lie towards me or to her?"
"What?" Frankie said in a very confused tone. She could get all of that by just listening to me?
"Did you lie to me or to her because I can't be going out with someone who's still engaged." She insisted. She wasn't going to go out with Frankie if he were still engaged, that's the truth of the it all. But regardless, she longed to be with him. She wouldn't know what to do if he did lie to her.
"I didn't lie to you. I would never lie to you like that. Honey what do you take me for?" Frankie said trying to distract her from her thoughts. But it wasn't working. She just gave him the I'm not Stupid look that she so rarely gave. "Mhmm" she said as she nodded her head.
"Fine. You want to know? I'll tell you. But you really cannot get upset about this. She wouldn't let me leave the house unless I gave her a really really good reason." He said trying to enlighten the moment. Something that would change the both of them.
"Frankie. Please just tell me already."
"We're having a baby!" Frankie said with the most reddest cheeks that has ever appeared on this face.
