Chapter 4

Maura's P.O.V

"I love you" I hear Jane murmur as she falls asleep again.

Does she truly mean it or am I mistaking her murmurs for something else said.

"For being a detective, Jane, you are oblivious. I have been in love with you since we first became friends. I have no idea how you didn't realize it. I have been unintentionally blunt, to say the least. When you told me about Dean, I knew he wouldn't intentionally hurt you, but I still didn't like him. Then when you shot my father for him, I knew you thought he was "the one". I had actually forgiven you for that earlier than I had let on. You were there for me every time I got into any kind of predicament, good or bad. You were there when we almost died in that reservoir, even though you almost didn't go. When Hoyt attacked us in the hospital, you were there, when I found out Ian was running from the law, when Dennis had tried to kill me, when Hope wanted to meet with me, you were there to pick me up, dust me off and help me feel better. You care about people more than you give yourself credit for. You are so good with TJ and the orphan we delivered at the spa. I was kind of surprised how well you were with them. No matter how much you don't believe in your ability to be mother. Besides, I will be there for you every step of the way. Forever and always."

I stand up and kiss her forehead. Then I turn around and see Casey in a wheelchair in the doorway.

"How much did you hear?" I ask him

"Hear about what?"

"Never mind." I notice flowers in his lap and ask him "Do you want some alone time with Jane?

"No, you can stay if you want to." I grab Jane's chart and go sit on the chair in the corner of the room.

All her vitals looked fine and I see a copy of her ultrasound in there, but there were two different ultrasounds with her charts.

"Oh, my, god." I accidentally blurt out.

Casey looks up nervously and asks "What?"

"Nothing." I say and Casey goes back to looking at Jane. I flip through Jane's chart for the amnio results. I find them and see that there isn't anything chromosomally wrong with the babies. I wait to see what gender the babies are until Jane wakes up. I close Jane's chart and close my eyes, listening to what Casey was saying.

"… and I have always loved you. I should have let you in. I fucked up and I'm sorry. You wanted to help and I should have let you help. I saw how much you wanted to help and I didn't let you. I was conflicted on whether I would let you help or not. I was afraid, afraid that you," He pauses for a minute looking for the right words, "that you wouldn't love me if I was a quadriplegic. That you would leave me because I wouldn't be able to give you children, that you would think I was too burdensome for you to be able to handle. I love you Jane Rizzoli. Never forget that." And I hear Casey moving so I open my eyes in time to see him put the flowers on her nightstand and wheel himself out the door. He stops before he is completely out of the room and turns his wheelchair around so it faces towards me says, "Tell her I say congratulations on the bun in the oven." And wheels himself down the hall.

After a few seconds I hear a half mumbled "Is he gone?" from behind me.

I turn around surprised and see Jane awake. Jane sees her chart in my hand and says "Hey doc, am I going to be okay?"

"All your vitals look okay and the babies look like they are growing normally and" but Jane cuts me off saying " Why do you keep saying they and talk in plural when you talk about my baby."

I grab Jane's file, pull out her ultrasounds, and hand them to her. She looks at them and a look of doubt, followed by worry and then fear all crossed over her face. She slowly puts the ultrasounds down and looks up at me.

"How am I supposed to take care of two babies if I can't even remember to get groceries every week?"

"Jane, you know that I will always be here for you, just like you have with me…"

"Picking you up, dusting you off , and making you feel better. I woke up around that part."

"What else did you hear?"

"That my babies and I are in the middle of a complicated love triangle between you and Casey. By the way, are you ever going to tell me if I need to paint their room pink or blue?"

I open up Jane's chart, find the karyogram, and look down at the bottom.

"First of all, you won't be painting anything. The paint fumes are bad for the babies. Second of all, Tommy and Frankie are going to have to paint their rooms both colors. One of your babies is a girl and the other is a boy, both of which I can spoil, and will help you raise, no matter what you say, I will be there for them either as mamma or aunt Maura. I don't care which, well I kind of wish I was mamma, but I will be there for your babies."

"Get over here." Jane says.

"Are you okay?"

"Just get over here."

As I walk the four steps to get to Jane I'm worried. She has a mischievous grin on her face. I don't like the look in her eyes either. She sits up slowly and her face gets closer to mine. Her head raises as she presses her lips against mine. At that moment I hear the door open and gently break away from her. I look towards the door to see it was only Addison standing in the doorway.

"Hey, do you guys want me to come back later?"

"no, it's okay." I say.

"Did Maura already tell you what you're having?"

"why didn't you tell me I'm having twins?"Jane asked the redhead angrily.

"often, ob's don't see the second embryo until it's big, or they hear another heartbeat during an ultrasound. I didn't realize it until I got two different sets of chromosomes in the karyogram."

"so what caused Jane's fainting spells because there was nothing abnormal in her chart." I ask, hoping it isn't what I think it is.

"She has preeclampsia. In her case it is very, very mild, compared to how bad it usually is with twins. We wouldn't have caught it until it was much more serious. The fainting was just because you haven't been eating enough calories for all three of you. You are a police officer, correct?

"Detective with the homicide unit."

"with preeclampsia and twins, your pregnancy is very high risk. No field work. For now you can work on cases from headquarters and do interrogations. Be careful around chemicals in the morgue and the lab. Maura" she directs her gaze and words in my direction. " I trust you to kick Jane out when the chemicals may potentially harm her fetuses. You know what is hazardous to a growing fetus.

"so for the next 6 months I will only be working on cases from the precedent right?"

"for now. Soon you will have to go on maternity leave. With preeclampsia you will also have to change your eating habits and lifestyle big time. Maura gave me a detailed description of how you live. To keep your babies healthy and manage your preeclampsia. Obviously no coffee or alcohol. Eat healthier, more green vegetables, at least 9 glasses of water a day, less red meat, plenty of sleep, that means no more working for 3 days straight on a case with half an hour of sleep. Your babies can't take the amount of stress that you had before." Addison checks her watch and says "I gotta go, I have a surgery in a half an hour. When the IV finishes, you are free to be discharged. I will have a nurse bring in your discharge papers."

After Jane signed the papers and her drip finished we left. I pull my Prius around and take us to the Dirty Robber but instead of heading into the bar area like we usually do, we head to the restaurant area.

Once we are seated, I tell Jane, "You need to eat something. I know you didn't really eat at the hospital…" Jane cuts me off.

"The food is disgusting." Jane whines.

"Yes I know it's disgusting but you are whining like your children are going to. I can tell you really love them though"

"How?" Jane asks confused.

You were talking about them in your sleep. I could tell that you have a strong maternal bond with them already."

"Okay?" Jane says, confusion evident on her face.

The waitress comes by and takes our orders. When she leaves I look excitedly at Jane and ask "What are you going to name them?"

"I don't know. I have only known that there were two of them for less than 3 hours. I haven't been thinking about what to name them. I've been more worried about how I'm going to take care of two kids on my salary and work schedule. How am I supposed to work and spend time with them?" she pauses when our food comes.

While we eat we talk about random, insignificant things and cold cases. When we leave I drive us to my house and tell Jane, "I was wondering if you would move in with me?"

Jane pauses for a minute, looks at me surprised and says

"If you want me to. I could give my apartment to Tommy and TJ."

Angela comes flying in the door, grabs Jane and gives her famous 'Angela' hug.

"Why didn't you tell me you were in the hospital again?"

"How did you know?"

"The hospital bracelet around your wrist."

"Right. Guess I forgot to take that off. Ma, I have something to tell you."

"What?"

"You are going to be a grandmother."

Angela just stares at her shocked.
