Jane frowned deeply and looked at the Wall. "Susan had her boyfriend Chad, why didn't' we find anything about him?"

Frankie looked over his shoulder. "Maybe Chad doesn't exist?"

Jane rolled her eyes and shook her head. "He does exist, don't you see?"

Frankie shrugged. "Or maybe the relationship didn't exist."

"You mean they said they were in a relationship because their parents are like Ma?"

Frankie shrugged again and smirked.

Jane got up and grabbed her jacket. "Let's go and have a little chat with Cha ... "she was cut off by her phone. She read the message and frowned. "Crap, I forgot that Maura and I have an appointment at the Doc's. Would you mind going with Masterson and talking with Chad? "

Frankie shook his head and frowned. " You and Maura are okay? "

Jane put on her jacket and frowned too. " Yeah, why? "

Frankie shrugged one more time and smiled. "Because you don't ever go to a Doc, voluntarily."

Jane rolled her eyes and left without an comment.

Jane had a deep frown on her face as she stared at the monitor. "Hopefully the tots are okay."

Maura had her head on her left arm while she laid with her back on the examination table. " Alexis turned out alright, didn't she? "

"She's okay ", Jane replied and smiled.

Maura raised an eyebrow and smiled. " Just okay? "

Jane smirked and nodded. " She's alright. "

"Do you think Angela said the same about you when she was pregnant with Frankie or Tommy?' Jane is okay ' "

Jane wrinkled her nose. " I'm her only daughter. She loves me ... "

Their gynecologist smiled and looked at Jane. "Your babies are doing just fine."

Jane covered Maura's eyes with her hand before she got a look at the ultrasound monitor and frowned again. "You can't look. I don't wanna know what sex they are. "

Maura sighed and frowned too.

Maura pretended to be asleep as she felt her wife's eyes on her. Then she made the huge mistake of sighing.

Jane's head shot up, "Maura?"

Maura turned on her right side, away from her wife and wrinkled her nose.

Jane raised an skeptical eyebrow. "Maura, I know you're awake."

Maura sighed again. " No, I'm not. "

" Yes, you are. Because you react to what I say and then you sigh. "

Maura rolled back onto her back and closed her eyes. " What is it, Jane? "

Jane looked long at her wife. " Do you love me? "

Maura's eyes shot open and she looked questioningly at Jane. " Of course I love you, Jane. Why do you doubt that? "

Jane blushed crimson and " Because ..."

Maura raised an eyebrow skeptically. " Because what? "

Jane cleared her throat and let her eyes roam over Maura's covered body. " Because it's been a while and I would like to ... "

" Since when did you turned into a teenage boy? ", Maura cut her off.

Jane raised her eyebrows and smirked. " I would like to touch you. "

" Are you asking me if we can have sex? "

" I guess so. "

Maura grinned and kissed her wife passionately. "I thought you'd never ask."

Jane carefully rolled on top of her wife and kissed her neck. "Sometimes I love you being pregnant ", she murmured against Maura's skin and Maura moaned deeply.

The next morning Jane sat at the dining table while she read the newspaper and her daughter ate breakfast.

Maura came into the kitchen and looked skeptically at the peaceful sight. " Is this the lull before the storm? "

Jane looked up with a confused frown. " Huh? "

Maura rolled her eyes as she poured herself a cup of coffee. " Normally the two of you argue about breakfast. "

Jane sipped her coffee and raised her eyebrows. "Al, show Mommy what you're having for breakfast."

Alexis did as she was told and stuck out her tongue to reveal a mouth full of half chewed up cereal.

Jane chocked on her coffee as her daughter did so and had to suppress her laughter.

Maura's eyes were wide and her mouth hung open. " Alexis! ", she warned her daughter and glared at her wife. " That was not funny, Jane. "

" No. ", Jane said with a way too high voice and chuckled. " Maybe a little bit. "

Maura huffed and turned away.

Jane chuckled and took a deep breath as she looked at her daughter. "Baby, I meant that you should show Mommy what you have in your bowl instead of sticking your tongue out at her."

Alexis looked at Maura and frowned guiltily. "Oh, sorry, Mommy."

Maura sighed and sipped her coffee. "It's okay, Alexis. But don't do it again. We raised you better."

Alexis nodded slowly as she chewed.

Jane sighed and put down the newspaper. " I'm sorry too, Mommy. "

Alexis smirked and Maura rolled her eyes.

Jane grinned and drank from her coffee. " When do we tell the others? "

Maura followed Jane's eyes which had landed on her stomach. She raised her eyebrows and shrugged.

Now it was Jane's turn to roll her eyes. "You know with the two tiny tots in there it will be obvious sooner rather than later. And you know how Ma can be. "

Alexis looked at her mother. " Who is in where? "

Jane smiled down at her. " Tots are in Mommy's belly. "

Alexis furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

Maura rolled her eyes and sat down at the dining table. "You know that I want to be sure that nothing is wrong or goes wrong before telling the others."

Jane frowned deeply. "How big are the chances that something ... "she paused as she looked at her curious daughter, "goes wrong at this stage? "

Maura sipped her coffee "Eighty percent of all miscarriages happen in the first three months. Approximately ten to twenty percent end in miscarriage. So you could say eight to sixteen percent of pregnancies could go wrong in the first three months. Certainty the numbers are not completely right, however, they're probably even a little higher, since many pregnancies end very soon and are completely unnoticed in a miscarriage because the woman didn't know she was pregnant. But I already told you that when I was pregnant with Alexis. "

Alexis turned her head to the women. " What's with me? "

Jane rolled her eyes and turned her daughter's head back to the bowl carefully. "Eat your food and close your ears", she looked back at her wife. "But you're a Doctor and we go to every single appointment we have. What could go wrong?"

Maura opened her mouth to answer the question just as the back door flew open and Angela came into the main house.

Jane rolled her eyes and sighed loudly. "What the ... "she stopped herself before the wrong words could leave her mouth.

Angela looked at both women and stared them down. "When were the two of you going to tell me?"

Panic spread in Maura's eyes as she looked at her wife. She opened her mouth but closed it again.

Jane frowned as she looked at her mother. " Tell you what, Ma? "

"That Maura is ..." Angela said and her eyes roamed over her daughter in law.

Now Jane felt panic began to rise in her chest. " That Maura is what? "

"That she is sick ", Angela finished the sentence.

Jane kept on breathing in relief while Maura started to chuckle.

Angela eyed the couple skeptically. " What? "

Maura stood up and put her cup to the sink. "Angela, I am not sick."

Angela rolled her eyes. "Just because my daughter thinks she's unshakable, it doesn't mean that she has to drag you to work if you feel ill. You're also just a human being. Contrary to what Jane thinks. "

Jane stood up too and drew her eyebrows together. " What I think, Ma, really? Do you think that I would let my wife work even if she's not feeling well? "

Angela just shrugged and Jane answered the gesture with a low growl.

Maura laughed and took an apple. "Angela, I am totally fine. No one force me to go to work. "

"Nonna? Alexis suddenly said.

Angela looked down and switched her attention to her granddaughter. " Yes? "

" Do you have tots in your belly too? "

Angela chuckled and shook her head. " No, honeypie. You remember that Mommy and Mama told us that you're going to have two little siblings? "

Alexis nodded slowly.

"That's what your... Angela eyed Jane. " your Mama meant. Because before they're finished they stay in your Mommy's belly before they come out of her. "

Alexis had eyes as big as saucers. " Mommy, you poop them out? "

Maura chocked at her coffee and frowned. "No! "

"But they're in your belly. And everything that's in a belly has to come out. "

Jane suddenly buried her nose back into the newspaper.

Angela rolled her eyes. "Well, sweetheart ... they come out after a certain time ... after nine months ... But ... not out of the …. "

Alexis looked at her hands to figure out how long nine months were and held up seven fingers. "In this time?"

Maura smiled and put up two more tiny fingers before she kissed her daughter's knuckles. " This is nine, honey. "

"That's not long," Alexis said with a frown.

Maura cupped her daughter's cheek with an hand and smiled softly. "You know when your birthday is? "She asked and Alexis nodded. "A little after that your siblings will be here with us."

Alexis had big eyes again. "Whoa ... that's long. ", she said à la Jane Rizzoli," Your belly must hurt bad than. "

Angela laughed and kissed Jane's cheek.

Jane chuckled and shook her head with shining eyes.

Maura beamed and nodded slowly. " Yes, it does. But just for a little while, baby. "

" Did your belly hurt too when I was in there? "

"Yes, but I forgot it as soon as I held you in my arms."

"After you ... pooped me out?"

Angela rolled her eyes as she poured herself a cup of coffee.

Jane really had a hard time as she suppressed a laugh.

Maura sighed with a smile and raised her eyebrows. "You are really Mama's daughter, aren't you?"

Alexis grinned till her dimples were shown and nodded proudly. "Yeah."

Jane chuckled and gave her daughter high five.

Maura rolled her eyes, grabbed her wife's chin and kissed Jane's lips. "You explain to her how she came into world when she's old enough, Jane."

Jane rolled her eyes with a big smile.

Angela cleared her throat and frowned as she saw the roasted bacon. "What happened to your healthy diet, Maura?"

Maura frowned confused and looked at her plain yogurt. "Excuse me?"

Angela held up the plate with the unhealthy evidence. "You made bacon?"

Jane cleared her throat. "That's my plate", she mumbled at the paper.

Angela raised her eyebrows. "What did you just say?"

Jane was unfazed as she sipped her coffee. "I said it's my breakfast."

Maura bit her lower lip and rolled her eyes.

Angela sighed annoyed and glared at her daughter. "Really? Scrambled eggs and bacon and for Alexis cereal? Are you pregnant? "

Jane swallowed here coffee and frowned. " Well ... my wife is pregnant. I just ate what I like while I am not physically pregnant and Alexis won't be pregnant for the ... next thirty years. So my diet is alright. "

Alexis grinned. "I like cereal."

" Jane! ", Angela sighed.

" What? ", Jane asked unwittingly.

Maura huffed and walked back to the stairs without a word.

Jane's shoulders slumped and her eyes were big "Really? "

Angela rolled her eyes and shook her head.

Jane took a deep breath and exhaled loudly.
