So this one was supposed to be a funny one, whether or not it turned out that way is another matter. Enjoy :D

Yeah.. I still own nothing :/

'Maura, do you think you could-? My God, it's freezing in here!'

Maura sighed and looked up from her laptop. 'What do you want, Jane?'

'I want you to A, stop being so grumpy and B, turn the heating up in here. It's like, minus 500.'

'Okay, first of all, the average human being can only survive in temperatures as low as minus thirty and only for a few seconds, although there was a case once of a girl who could withstand-'

'Maura, please. Spare me the lecture.'

'You asked for it.' Maura turned back to the report she was typing up. 'The temperature is staying where it is, though. It's me that has to be down here all day, not you. And to answer your first request, I'm not grumpy, I'm merely hot and full of estrogen and progesterone. So if you don't mind-'

'Okay, okay. I'm backing off. You got a blanket laying around?'

'Unless you want the sheets that I cover bodies with, no. But there's a towel in that cupboard over there. Grab me one too, please.'

Jane did as she was told and threw Maura's across the room, an action she regretted when Maura sent a scowl her way.

'Thanks.'

'Sorry. You okay?'

'I'm fine, never better. I'm going to take a shower and change out of these scrubs. Can you get me a glass of water while I'm in there?'

'Why don't you just drink out of the shower?'

'Why don't you piss off?'

Jane almost choked. Maura never used language like that, not directed at her anyway.

The worst Jane had ever heard her say was 'crap'.

'Calm down, I was only kidding.'

'I know, I'm sorry.' Maura half smiled and headed out to the bathroom next to her office. She had never been more grateful for having a full bathroom installed.

Jane smiled as she left. She could forgive Maura's snappiness just by seeing the adorable lop-sided smile on her face. The detective was about to leave when she heard Maura's melodic voice call out to her from the bathroom.

'Hey Jane!'

'Yeah, Maur?'

'Any chance you could grab me a chicken salad wrap?'

'My wish is your command, oh pissy one.'

Jane left quickly, a grin on her face, just in time to miss the string of obscenities being shouted at her.

Jane returned fifteen minutes later to find Maura already back in the room, washed and changed, her damp hair hanging loose around her shoulders. She wore a tight blue dress that finished halfway down her thigh and complimented her complexion perfectly. It showed off every curve perfectly, including a curve that Jane hadn't seen before..

'Oh my God, look at you..'

'Yes, I'm fully aware that I look a mess. Thanks for rubbing it in.'

'No, seriously. Maura, you're showing.'

'Really?' Maura looked down, trying to see what Jane saw. 'It doesn't look like it.'

'That's because you see your body like that everyday. Honestly, Maur, you've got a bump.'

'It's only a little one.'

'Yeah, but still.'

'Well, great. Can you see it anywhere else too? You know, have I got a double chin as well? Chubby ankles? A huge ass?'

'Maura, no, of course not. You're still beautiful and you've got an amazing figure, anyone can tell that.'

'Really?' Maura's doleful eyes looked up into Jane's amused ones.

'Really. Now, can we start being a bit more agreeable?'

'Me? I wasn't..' Maura's attempt at arguing was cut short by Jane's raised eyebrows.

'Alright. I'm sorry, Jane. Can I have my wrap now?'

'I thought we were being agreeable.'

'Please?'

'That's better. There you go.' Jane handed over the packet, placing the glass of water on the bench at the side of the room. 'Geez, fourteen weeks. You've been pregnant for fourteen weeks.'

'Yes.'

'That's three and a half months.'

'Yes.'

'So in another five and a half..'

'I'll be giving birth.'

'Yeah.'

'I know.'

'Scary, huh?'

Maura looked up from plastic she was struggling to open. 'What have you got to be scared about? You're not the one who's going to be pushing a human being out of your-'

'Thank you, Maura. I just meant it's scary to think that you're having a baby.'

'Well, it's not like I'm taking it home at the end of the day.'

'I know, but..' Jane sighed. 'You want me to open that for you?'

'Yes please.' Maura handed over the wrap and rubbed her forehead. 'I'm just tired and hormonal. I don't mean to snap like this.'

'I know, sweetie. It's okay. I forgive you. Here, eat this. It'll make you feel better.' Jane passed the packet back to her.

'Thanks.' Maura took a large bite of the wrap. 'Mmm, that's.. Is that..? Crap..'

'No, it's a wrap.' Jane grinned, but the grin faded when Maura dropped the packet on the table and sprinted to the sink.

'Hasn't your morning sickness stopped?' She said softly, rubbing her friend's back.

'It has.' Maura sighed when she'd finished, grabbing a tissue from the box on her desk. 'But apparently the baby now hates mayonnaise.'

'Would low fat be better?'

Maura chuckled and leaned against the bench. 'Please tell me you're not being serious.'

'No, of course not. Come on, let's go get some proper lunch.'

'Will it have mayonnaise?'

'Not if we threaten my mother to leave it out.'

'Ooh, can we have Doritoes too?'

'Of course.'

'Chilli ones?'

'Anything you want.'

Maura grinned and grabbed her bag from the desk. 'Will you let me pay?'

Jane rolled her eyes. 'Depends on how much you're going to eat.'
