Hey guys! So I read some of the reviews and there was a huge mix up involving the last chapter. It is completely my fault because I didn't word it correctly at all. Now I can see why you're all confused. But I did clear all of it up in this chapter and I hope you enjoy it!

"Pause. Back it up." Maura said with her hands in the air not knowing if she should strangle him or herself.
"I don't.. I.. Wait. Stop talking."
Frankie stood there with a confused look on his face. He wasn't saying anything. But he wasn't going to interrupt her because he knew she would go crazy.
"I'm not pregnant. She didn't show signs of pregnancy.. FRANKIE FREAKING RIZZOLI JUNIOR YOU DID NOT!" She said in sudden realization of what he told her. "You told her that I was pregnant. With YOUR child?!"
"You look pretty." He said trying to stall, although he genuinely thought that she looked just a tiny bit sexier when she was mad.
"Frankie this is serious." She blurted out in a very serious tone.
He stood there with a sorry look on his face. "You are going to go and tell her that it was all a lie because if I run into her and I don't have a belly, then we're both in very big, BIG trouble." She said as she laid herself out on the couch, crossing her arms and leaving them on her stomach. "I don't even know what you were thinking!"
"Do you want to know exactly what happened?" He asked hoping the answer would be a firm no. But to his surprise, she said yes.
"You're going to want a drink first." Frankie said walking over to the kitchen area grabbing a glass of wine. A really big glass. "Frankie it's 3 o'clock.."
That sentence didn't stop him from pouring. "If you want to know the truth, you will also want a glass of wine afterwards."
"Oh God.." Maura let out as she took the glass from Frankie, still lying down. She could tell it was bad from the start but she wasn't thinking it would be that kind of bad. He picked her up and put her onto his lap hoping that it made the situation a little easier.
"After the situation in the bathroom, I ran downstairs to get Clare and leave. The ride home was torture. I got so made at myself for just walking out on you like that.. Without saying a thing." He began as he played with her hands. "Frankie you don't have to-"
"No let me finish. We got home and all I wanted to do was sleep. I wanted to let everything go and just sleep it all away. But instead, as soon as I walked into the door, she pinned me against the wall and kissed me." The thought of Clare's lips on Frankie's lips made both of them cringe. But it made Maura even more furious than anything really.
"I pulled away as soon as I could but then she grabbed my head and everything was a mess. I closed my eyes in the beginning because I didn't really want anything to do with her at that point. But then something told me to open my eyes. When I did I was so.. Surprised. I didn't see the brown hair and green eyes.. I saw blonde hair and and blue eyes.. I thought that I was making love to you. But when it was all over and Clare opened her mouth, I just. I couldn't do it anymore. I know it was cruel to do right after sex but when you're imagining someone else during it.. I couldn't stay. I didn't have the patience to wait any longer because I finally put the pieces together. I had to tell her."
A look of shock and terror was displayed across her face. "What did you tell her?"
He could feel his face get tense and his cheeks turn pink. "I told her that we ran into this way too fast. She disagreed and I told her that I wasn't ready. Which was the truth! I wasn't ready. I proposed because I thought my time was running out.. I scared her a little bit by telling her that I wanted a lot of kids. But she said that that was okay. I couldn't tell her that I fell in love with someone else." That was all she needed to hear from him. She could tell that he was having a hard time confessing what he had done.
"Then it occurred to me, I came up with the idea of telling her that I had slept with you two months before because I told her about that scare with Lily! She said that she wouldn't know how to handle the situation if I was a dad and that she wanted kids of our own. She said she would have loved Lily but probably not as much as our own. I know I was wrong and you don't even have to talk to me."
They say there in silence for a couple seconds. Both wondering what their next move was. But Frankie already knew his before Maura did. He set her down on the couch, and headed for the door. "I'll give you some space. Maura.. I am so unbelievably sorry. If I could take back what I did. I would. I totally would."
She had heard enough. She ran towards the door before he stepped foot outside. She slid her body in between the door and him. Causing her back to be against the door and very close to Frankie, her hands on his chest. "Okay. We will fix this. We will make this right and we will fix this. It'll be okay. We'll be.. Okay."
