Hello again! I know I left it in a bad way before, my bad. This is only a short chapter but it should straighten things out a little. Thanks to all reviewers, keep 'em coming guys :D

I did ask and no, I still don't own them. Meh.

'Hey Maura, you got those results in yet?' Jane called out, stifling a yawn. After working all day with Dr Pike, she wasn't sure if the fact that she would have Maura tonight made up for the fact that she was back at work two hours after she had left. It must be a full moon.

She almost wished Maura hadn't gone in. She had had to deal with enough that day without working as well. The blonde had hardly said a word whilst investigating the scene. Jane wanted to hold her tight and make everything better for her but she knew that it wasn't going to be that easy. It didn't exactly come as a surprise to her when she didn't get a response, but she was certainly surprised when Maura was nowhere to be seen.

'Maura?' Jane called again, heading through to her office. 'Maura, are you in here?'

As she opened the office door, she heard the faint sound of crying but she had no idea where it was coming from. She looked around and realised that it was coming from the bathroom that joined onto Maura's office. Jane's heart sunk.

'Maura, sweetie, it's me. Can you open the door?'

A few seconds later, the door opened to reveal a puffy-eyed, slightly dishevelled Maura.

'Oh God.. Sweetie, come here..' Jane pulled Maura into her arms, not letting her pull away. 'It's going to be fine. Cassie and James will calm down soon, it's not your fault. You never know, they might even give it another shot-'

'Jane, you don't understand..' Maura stepped back as soon as Jane's arms relaxed and picked up a pregnancy test that had been resting on the sink. 'We did it. I'm pregnant.'

Jane's eyes widened and her face broke into a grin. 'Really?'

'Really.' Maura wiped her eyes as more tears of joy spilled down her cheeks. 'God, I have to call Cassie..'

'Yeah, of course. Listen, you sort yourself out here and then meet me in the lobby. I'm taking you home.'

Maura smiled and hugged her friend. 'Thank you.'

'No problem.'

'No, really. Thank you. For everything.'

Jane felt a tear spring to her eye. 'You're welcome.' She kissed Maura's shoulder lightly before leaving her in the bathroom. The case could wait; Frost and Korsak could hold the fort for now. This was more important.

'Ma, we're home!' Jane called out as she closed the door behind herself and Maura.

Angela flew down the stairs. 'Hey, you two. You're not normally back so quickly.'

'Yeah, well.. I wanted to bring Maura home.'

'Of course. How you feeling, sweetheart?'

'She's fine,' Jane smiled, speaking for her friend. 'But you know what it's like out there. So dangerous this time of night. And we can't have pregnant women roaming the streets at this hour, can we?'

Jane and Maura grinned, waiting for Jane's words to sink in. They soon knew that they had..

'You're pregnant?! But the test-'

'It must have been faulty.'

'God, I hope you're not going to try and return it..'

Maura chuckled at Jane's words as Angela pulled her into a tight hug. 'This is amazing. Have you told Cassandra yet?'

'No, I haven't. I should probably call her.'

'Yeah, maybe.' Jane said sarcastically. 'Every potential mother longs for the day that her friend calls her up and tells her that they're pregnant.'

'I admit, it's not exactly the conventional method for someone to find out they're going to have a baby but I don't really see an alternative. She's going to get the news one way or another and I'd rather she got it now over the phone than later in person.' Maura pulled her phone out and dialled the number quickly. 'God, I don't think I've ever been so excited to make a phone call.'

'It's not exactly the kind of thing you do everyday though. Just be calm.'

Maura nodded and smiled as Cassandra answered. 'Hello?'

'Cass, it's me.'

'Oh, hi.. Maura, listen..'

'No, no, no. Let me speak. After you left, I.. Well.. Cassie, we're pregnant.'

There was silence from the other end of the phone. 'Cass? Cass, are you still there?'

A loud whooping noise told them she was, as was James. 'We're having a baby? We're really having a baby?'

'Yeah, you're having a baby. The test that I took earlier must have been wrong.'

'Oh my goodness.. Oh Maura, I love you..'

'I love you too, Cassie. Want me to let you go?'

'I'll call you back in the morning, honey. Thank you so much, Maura. We both love you and we'll see you as soon as we can. If you need anything, call us. Oh my God, we're pregnant!'

Maura smiled as Cassandra hung up. 'I think we just made her day.'

Told you it would be okay :P
