"Why has it taken me this long to think about this?" Maura asked herself. "The father, who's the father?" Maura strained herself and her memory trying to think about the last time she'd seen any signs of sexual release in Jane.
She leaned up against her desk in her office. "It's no use my memory doesn't stretch back that far." Maura said taking a deep soothing breath.
And as though on cue Jane walked in; "I'm hungry, again; this pregnancy thing is gonna kill me."
"Not until labor will your life ever be in danger." Maura educated her. "Well I still need a second lunch, you wanna come?"
"Fine but answer me something." Maura said as she crossed the room joining Jane. "Ya anything." Jane said heading out the door. "No come back in, I doubt you'd what anyone else to hear."
Jane's eyes widen; "Now I'm seconding guessing my answer." Jane said backing up slowly into Maura's office. "The father, it's eating at me; who is it?" Maura said quickly.
Jane dropped her head and eyed her feet and then began twiddling her fingers. Maura knew she just asked a touchy question. Jane sat down on Maura's couch; keeping her eyes away from Maura's.
"Casey, you know the soldier."
"Yes, the one you knew in high school."
"Yeah, well he had a short weekend leave about three months ago."
"Casey is the father."
"Yeah and now he's back in Afghanistan."
"Does he know?"
"Well you know how we 'slept' together." Jane asked using her fingers as quotation marks on the word slept. "Well there's a reason we've been rather distant." Jane whispered.
"You told him?"
"Well I wasn't gonna allow him to go back and possibly get killed with out in Afghanistan without him knowing he's going to be a father. Maybe he'll be more careful or something, not step on mines or barge into terrorist infested building." Jane said finally meeting Maura's eyes.
"What was is reaction once you told him."
"He was shocked I guess, he just stared at me and asked if I was kidding."
"But once he really knew then what'd he do?"
"He just watched me then my mother barged in. And I really don't want to talk about it due to the fact I'm starving!" Jane softly shouted and stood up.
