Some months later ...
Jane stood im the room and frowned. She had expected many things but not that. Frankie elbowed Korsak and both men started to chuckle in amusement. Cavanaugh grinned amused at Angela. Angela herself rolled her eyes with a smile. "Be aware.", Cailin laughed and Tommy joined her as Jane's frown deepened. Hope laughed at this. Maura rolled her eyes and smiled. "She has this frown on her face the whole time." "Why are you so surprised, Jane?", Angela chuckled. Jane exhaled loudly as she stared. "She is suppose to be blond or black haired. But she's not supposed to be a redhead. That is just wrong. Look at him. He is right." "He is right?", Korsak laughed as he lifted up the new born boy. "And your second daughter is ... what? A weirdo?" "She is a redhead." Jane whined with big eyes. Maura mumbled something and took her new born daughter from her wife. "Stop complaining. She is just fine. And in the case you have forgotten ... my roots are irish." Jane licked her lips and slowly looked at her wife. "How could I forget that fact? No offense, Hope." Hope just waved the statement away and took her granddaughter. "It's too bad that Constance can't be here." Maura sighed and shrugged. She pretended that it hadn't bothered her that Constance wasn't here to welcome two new lives to their family and rather stayed in Oslo. As Jane called her second mother in law to inform Constance that Maura was in labor, Constance told her that she was in Europe and that the children surely could wait for her until she would be in Boston. They couldn't have known how wrong Constance was. It had taken thirty-eight painfully long hours and almost a c-section and a hell lot of swearing from the normally very composed Maura until the twins had decided to show up. But it bothered Maura. It bothered her very much. At least she wasn't alone. She had Jane. She had Angela, Alexis, Frankie, Tommy, Cavanaugh and Korsak. And she knew she also had Cailin and Hope. She wasn't alone at all. Suddenly a broad smile appeared on her lips. Jane smiled too and kissed her wife's forehead. "What's the matter?" Maura looked in her favorite pair of brown eyes and sighed happily. "I love you." Jane grinned. "I love you too. And I love Alexis and Damian and even Sophie. Even though she's odd." Maura playfully slapped Jane's arm and drew her eyebrows together. "She is not odd." Jane looked down at Maura and smiled. "A tiny little bit." "Jane!" Maura said admonishingly, but smiled. Jane took Sophie again and grinned proudly as she looked at the new born. "Yes, you are a little bit odd, but in a very good and cute way. Just like your Mommy." Angela laughed and kissed Maura's forehead and sighed. "Go to sleep, honey. You gave a very exhausting birth to two very stubborn babies. Just like their Mama." "I'm still here and I can hear you." Jane said in sing song while she swayed Sophie with a very happy smile. "I know." Angela replied also in sing song as the others started to laugh."And I don't mind." Maura smiled as she felt the weight of her new born son on her chest when Korsak handed Damian back. She looked back at her wife and put a hand on her very patient daughter Alexis who wasn't normally this patient.. "How do you feel, honey?" Alexis just shrugged. "Tired." That statement made everyone laugh. Jane raised her eyebrows. "Why are you tired?" "Because I waited so long to meet my siblings." Alexis replied. Maura laid her head back onto the pillow and smiled. "So, you are happy." Alexis scrutinized the boy with a frown but then smiled broadly. It was all Maura needed for an answer and caressed Alexis' cheek. "Me too, baby. Me too." She was happy and fulfilled. And she couldn't understand why she jeopardized it when Masterson was still around and no one knew that he was a serial killer. Why did she almost throw it all away? Maura sighed and took Jane's hand. Jane looked at her and smiled softly and full of love. Maura bit her bottom lip and smiled back before she closed her eyes and a peaceful sleep embraced her.
