Thanks for all the new adds and comments.
As always, I do not own Rizzoli and Isles, just my very literal mind.
Ch 14 pt 2
"You're doing so well, Love. Just breathe and we'll get ready to push again." Jane encouraged.
Maura, blew out a large puff of air in response. Her face flushed, hair slightly mussed but, Jane felt she was more beautiful in this moment than she had ever been.
"Alright, Maura, this is a big one. I can see the head." Dr. Gomez instructed.
Maura looked to Jane for some encouragement and was rewarded.
"You've got this, Maur. You're the bravest, smarter, most beautiful and capable person I know. I could've been given a million years to come up with the perfect person to build the perfect family with and I would've never even come close to you." Jane effused.
"I feel the exact same way. I could've never put it as succinctly as you just did. I love you more than I could've ever fathomed was possible and we're about to add to that love." Maura expressed.
The room was filled with the love Jane and Maura just professed to each other and it was damn near impossible to find a dry eye of all the participants. Dr. Gomez's nurse had to dab her tears away. She had delivered an impressive amount of babies in her career, seen the look of love in couples but, what she just witnessed had the feel of something that said theirs was a love unmatched and lasting.
Dr. Gomez cleared her throat to instruct Maura to give one last big push.
"Okay. Here goes..." she gripped Jane's hand tighter than she had before and let out a loud shriek from the recesses of her mouth, showing all the way back to her molars and uvula.
Jane gave a small shudder at the sound but, absorbed the pressure of Maura's squeeze and held at her back, giving all her support.
After the push, Maura callapsed back into Jane's body breathing heavily.
"Congratulations mommies! You've got a beautifully healthy baby girl. You did amazingly Maura." Dr. Gomez announced.
"Please, Jane, go check on our little girl." Maura directed to her beloved Jane.
Jane performed all of the traditions involved with child birth, counting of the fingers and toes, as well as, cutting of the umbilical cord before she was sent to get warmed up, cleaned up and tested.
Given the all clear by Dr. Gomez, the newest edition to Jane and Maura's family was passed to Jane. Jane accepted the tiny creature in her arms with a gasp. Atop her head, sat the darkest of curls, skin fair with the slightest olive under tone, and puckered lips.
"Jane, how is she? How is our baby?" Maura's question brought Jane out of her trance and she took the few steps to deliver their child to her other mother.
Maura took the little angel in her arms and was taken aback, much as Jane had been. This was their daughter.
Maura look in Jane's eyes and Jane did the same with Maura.
"This is our baby!" Jane stated with the biggest smile to date. Maura had noted.
"Yes she is." Maura agreed.
In between salty tears and sweet-lipped kisses, Jane and Maura had thanked each other for the life and love they set out to create and brought to fruition together. Neither knowing just how much love something, or someone, rather, could elicit in an instant.
"Sorry to interrupt this precious moment but, have you got a name for this little one? For the forms." Dr. Gomez asked.
They had been vacillating between Ava Rose and Sophia Anne for weeks. But, as soon as they had their first real look at their little girl there was no question.
"Sophia Rose." They crooned in harmony.
