Chapter 8
It was Friday, Maura was in the kitchen with Sophia, waiting for Angela who would babysit while Jane and Maura where out.
When they decided they wanted to give their relationship a chance, Jane opted that they would need to have their first "real date". She asked Maura if she would like to go out with her on Friday and here they were. Jane had planned their date and said to Maura that she would pick her up around seven.
Maura already cooked for Sophia so she could spent her time with Angela for fun things before she would go to bed.
"So.." Sophia said scooping up another spoon of ice cream and putting it into her mouth "Everyone now knows about you and mommy?"
"Well I still have to tell my parents and Tommy is away for his job so we have to wait till Sunday before we can tell him, but besides them I guess everyone knows by now,yes" Maura replied, thinking back about the way everyone found out about their relationship.
It was the day after Angela caught them snuggled up on the couch. When Jane came home that night Sophia was already in bed, so they could talk about how they wanted to come out to the rest of their friends and family. Jane wanted to keep it a secret for a while, just to keep Maura a little longer to herself. Maura was in to that idea because they still had to figure out how they wanted their relationship to be and they shouldn't push themselves into doing this to fast. But they got caught by Frost the next day when they secretly kissed in the elevator.
"Yes! Frankie and Korsak are sooo gonna pay me for winning the bet!" Frost pumped his fist in the air.
"Yeah,, so I've heard you've been putting bets on when we would get together" Jane said while she grabbed Frost by the arm and started walking off to the bullpen.
"Oh come on Jane! We were just having a little fun, no hard feelings right?"
"Hmm... I guess when you give me half of the money you win I could probably forgive you" Jane looked at Frost with a huge grin on her face.
"So unfair..." Frost muttered.
They walked into the bullpen where Frankie stood next to Korsak. Jane walked up to them "Yes, you can give me half of Frost his winning money" and she hold out her hand to both men who were looking at her questioningly.
"She knows..." Frost muttered, sitting down behind his desk.
"But... Frost would only win the money when you..." Frankie started
"And Maura are together, yeah I know that" Jane stated.
"So?" Frankie said.
"So... You owe me money!" Jane still holds her hand out to her brother and partner.
"You and Maura are together then?" Frankie asked.
"We're taking it slow just to see where it will take us and because we have to think about Sophia, but yes we are together"
Jane felt butterfly's in her stomach when she talked about Maura and she couldn't wait to see her again. Frankie and Korsak watched the huge grin that came across Jane's face when she talked about Maura, the detective was definitely in love.
"Great to hear Janie" Korsak clapped her on the back.
"Yeah, good for you to finally act on it!" Frankie hugged Jane.
"Hey! Don't push it Frankie, we're still taking it slow. I've only told you about this because Frost caught us so we couldn't hide it any longer. Now will you give me half of Frost his winning money?! And you two will have to buy a lot of drinks to make us forget about you betting over us" Jane said while she took the money from Frankie and Korsak and walked up to her desk.
"Maura? Maura!" Sophia waved her hand in front of Maura's eyes to get her attention.
"Uh.. Yeah? Sorry Sophia I was caught up in my thoughts" Maura confessed.
"I asked you if you and mommy will get married" Sophia said.
"Married? Well... I don't know Sophia, we're just starting this relationship so I think that if we're getting married it will take a while, why?"
"I want to be the little bridesmaid when you do, I want to help picking out the dresses or maybe a suit for my mommy since she doesn't like dresses, and tasting the cake and throwing little rose petals when you'll be walking down the aisle and handing over the rings" Sophia started rambling about all the ideas she had for the wedding.
"That sounds great honey, but we'll have to wait for a while to see if this relationship goes well. But when it does and we get married I promise you that you're in on helping us setting up" Maura smiled at Sophia's happy face.
"And when you're married you'll have babies, right?" Sophia stated, making Maura choke on the little raspberry she just put into her mouth.
"Uhm.. I don't know actually... Why?"
"Amber's mommy got a new baby when she got married" Sophia frowned a little.
"Amber doesn't like having a baby sister?" Maura asked.
"Nah, the baby just keeps crying and everyone is always busy"
"Hmm... Yeah little baby's do need a lot of caring and attention, but that doesn't mean they don't love Amber anymore"
"I don't know... Maybe when you and mommy have a new baby you would forget about me too"
"I don't think that would happen Sophia, Mommy and I love you very much and I think you would be a great big sister,helping us taking care of the baby" Maura said, hugging Sophia. "But like I said, we're not even thinking about marriage or babies yet so no need to worry okay?"
"Okay..." Sophia said "But when you do, who would give you the baby? You need a daddy for that don't you? Maybe you could ask my daddy?"
Again Maura almost choked on a raspberry "No Sophia, I don't think that's a good idea"
"What isn't a good idea?" Angela asked as she came in through the back door.
"I told Maura that she could ask my daddy for a new baby when they want one" Sophia said.
"Oh..." Angela looked up at Maura "You already want a baby?"
"Not yet, I just told Sophia that first we have to see how this relationship goes" Maura said.
"But when it goes right you will have babies?" A grin was crossing Angela's face.
"I don't know,we haven't talked about it yet"
"Oh you should! I would love having more grandchildren!" Angela pushed.
"Well I think Jane and I should discuss this first, but only when we are ready and up to it"
"Of course Maura, I'm sorry, talking about kids gets me all excited! We'll stop this now so you can get dressed or you won't be ready when Jane's here!" Angela pushed Maura through the door to the stairs.
At seven o'clock Maura was ready. Dressed in a small blue dress and her hair hanging over her shoulders in small curls. She walked up to Jane who stood in front of her car.
"Hey" she said and she kissed Jane.
"Hey beautiful, you ready?" Jane asked her as she let her to the passengers door.
" Totally" Maura said "What have you planned for us?"
"Oh you'll just have to wait and see my dear" Jane grinned.
"I'm all yours" Maura smiled as she got into the car.
"I know" Jane smiled back at her "Let's go"
