"Hey Maura; uh could you give me a checkup?" Jane asked as Maura cooked up breakfast for both of them.

"Sure what are your symptoms?" Maura asked; although Maura sensed she already knew some of the symptoms.

"Fatigue, nausea, headaches?" Jane listed them off. Maura then began to wonder how long it would take for Jane to take a pregnancy test.

"I don't know could be a number of different things." Maura said calmly. "Huh, uh Maura do um, my boobs look, I don't know, bigger?" Jane asked cupping her breast.

"I wouldn't know seeing as I don't study your boobs." Maura said sliding the scrambled eggs on the plate she'd set out for Jane.

As soon as the eggs hit the plate Jane immediately recoiled. "Oh my god, no offence but there's something wrong with those eggs they smell horrible!" Jane half shouted as she got up and moved to the couch.

In Maura's head she checks the 'aversion to certain foods' box off in her pregnancy list. Maura sighed and felt compelled to tell Jane but she worried about how Jane would react to the fact that Maura didn't tell her the first moment she could.

"You should probably go see a doctor." Maura called out as she threw all of the eggs on her plate. "Yeah probably should; maybe I'll suggest it when I go back for a checkup. Either way I gotta get back on the field." Jane said getting up to grab her coat.

"Well maybe that's not such a good idea; I mean you had a bullet go through you! I'd advise more time to rest." Maura said walking up to Jane slightly blocking her exit.

Jane looked at her funny. "Ok I know you're a doctor but I've been locked in this house for two weeks I want out." Jane replied grabbing the handle of the door.

Maura instantly smacked her hand away from the door. "Hey!" Jane said scowling at Maura. "What's wrong with you!"

"I don't want you to get hurt!"

"Maura I've been on the field with worse injuries than this."

"I seriously doubt that!" Maura said knowing that Jane's never been pregnant before.

Jane squinted at Maura "What aren't you telling me?

The moment of truth, Maura thought herself but she just shook her head. Maura couldn't do it. Even though in her head Maura wanted to scream 'Because you're pregnant!'

But it was that simple; Maura loved Jane like a sister but for some reason Maura couldn't manage to tell her.

"Excuse me." Jane said Maura stepped aside and Jane harshly threw open the door. "Mood swings." Maura whispered to herself.


*Jane comes back from the doctor; she knows she's pregnant.*

Jane walked in the door casually and tossed her coat on the couch Maura sat on couch sipping a glass of wine.

Jane curled her lips and stared at Maura. "What?" Maura asked slightly worried; had she lost the baby?

"I thought you were my friend."

"I am, unless that's changed."

"Well I'm starting to think that it has." Jane said strutting into the kitchen.

"Wait" Maura pleaded setting down her wine glass and following Jane out into the kitchen.

"I thought out any body you'd tell me first! But I guess not!" Jane yelled as Maura sat down across from Jane at her kitchen island.

"What are you talking about?" Maura asked even though she already knew.

"Stop playing that shit!"

"What are you talking about?"

"You knew I was pregnant and you kept your mouth shut! You're so lucky that I haven't been sucking down bottle after bottle of beer!"

"I wouldn't have let you!"

"So when exactly where you planning to tell me this bit of information? What about when you lied to me and said they took the bullet out?"

"Jane I'm so sorry." Maura said shaking her head slowly. "Me too." Jane replied. "But I've gotta know why you didn't tell me. I mean you knew and yet you were silent. It'd be different if it was just one kid but c'mon you thought it'd be funny to hide from me that I'm having twins?" Jane whispered calming herself.

Maura's head snapped up instantly "Twins?"

"Yes"

Maura smiled "Jane I didn't know you were having twins."
