Just want to start by saying this is NOT a full chapter update. Because many of you requested it, and I was feeling incredibly loved after all the kind reviews I decided to do a little piece about Amelia and Frost's night together!
I really hope you all will enjoy it!
Happy reading! -J
Chapter 24- A Girl and her Frostie
Frost didn't truly know what he was agreeing to when he volunteered to babysit Amelia for Jane and Maura. The young Detective knew only that he wanted to help his friends have a much needed night to themselves, and that he loved Amelia, who was always such a fun, cute kid.
Arriving at the Rizzoli/Isles household, Frost relieved Angela of her Nanny duties for the night, Amelia greeting him with a big hug and an excited squeal. Though when they had first met, Amelia had been rather quiet and reserved she had since opened up to Frost and loved whenever he visited.
"Frostie I picked out all my favourite movies for us to watch," Amelia told Frost in excitement. "I wanna watch Beauty and the Beast first. It's my very favourite. Janie says that I'm just like Belle," she rambled, talking fast. "Do you know who Belle is?"
"Well I can't say that I do, but I can't wait to find out," Frost grinned, ruffling the little blonde's hair. "I brought you a real treat for dinner. Jane said it's one of your favourites but we can't tell your Mom that I brought it okay? You don't wanna get me and Jane in trouble," he said, revealing a McDonald's bag from behind his back. "Our secret okay?"
"I promise!" Amelia was fast to agree holding out her hands to accept her treat, jumping up and down. "Mommy never lets me have this! Only Janie does!"
"Trust me I know," Frost laughed. "How about we put your movie on and have a picnic in the family room? That way we don't make too much of a mess. How does that sound?"
"Yes!" Amelia shouted her reply, quickly leading Frost towards the family room, excited.
Settling in and starting their dinner after putting the movie on, Frost thought he was in for a rather easy night, even though he wasn't crazy about the movie choices. It wasn't until Amelia had finished eating that he realized just how wrong he was, as the little blonde was on her feet as soon as she ate her last chicken nugget.
Amelia had watched Beauty and the Beast several times since Jane had first shown it to her, and it was obvious as soon as Amelia began to sing along to the movie. Dancing around the family room, Amelia didn't seem to have a care in the world, not even noticing Frost who was laughing softly, loving seeing the little blonde acting so happy.
It wasn't until Amelia's favourite song came on that she ran to pull Frost up from the ground, begging him to dance with her. Deciding to be a good sport, and wanting to please Amelia, Frost decided to play along, allowing the young Isles to lead him around the room; the pair's hands linked together. As there were no other adults around, Frost let go of his self-consciousness, laughing along with Amelia, who couldn't be happier to have the young Detective dancing with her.
"Frostie can we play dollies?" Amelia asked when the movie was over. "I wanna play dollies and watch The Little Mermaid. Please? Pretty please?"
"Oh well…yeah okay," Frost agreed with a sigh, unable to resist the young girl's wide, begging eyes. "You go get your dolls and I'll put the movie in for you," he said, Amelia taking off towards her room before he even finished his sentence. "Playing dollies. Man Jane owes me big time," he muttered to himself while putting in the new DVD. "God I hope nobody finds out about this."
"Frostie I brought you Stephanie. She's one of my favourites," Amelia called as soon as she returned, handing Frost a doll with blonde hair and blue eyes before taking his hand in hers. "Come on. Let's sit on our picnic blanket and play. Stephanie and Ellie love The Little Mermaid!"
"Oh…good," Frost smiled, sitting down with the little girl, feeling slightly unsure of himself, having no idea how to 'play dolls'. "So uh what do I…how do…what do we do when we play dolls?" He finally asked, feeling a little silly.
"We pretend," Amelia answered like it was the simplest thing in the world. "Mommy says pretendin' is good for me. Our dollies are our babies. You have to hold them like this," she said, showing Frost the proper way to hold the doll, giving him an expectant look as she waited for him to follow. "You can be the Daddy and I will be Jane."
As it turned out being Jane consisted of a lot of allowing the babies to play and a lot of dancing, while being the Daddy meant doing whatever Jane asked of him. And while at first he felt uncomfortable, Frost eventually found himself enjoying this game, amused by the stories and scenarios that Amelia came up with.
"You know it's getting kind of late kiddo," Frost said, a little later, the movie almost over. "I think we need to start thinking about getting you to bed soon."
"But Mommy's not home yet," Amelia shook her head. "I gotta see Mommy and Jane before bed. I wanna stay up."
"Your Mom and Jane will come kiss you goodnight when they get home from their date," Frost replied. "But I'm betting it's already past your bedtime. Aren't you getting tired?"
"Not at all," Amelia looked very serious. "I wanna play some more. Please Frostie? Please?" She begged, sticking out her bottom lip in a pout.
"Okay one more game, but only for a little bit and then you gotta get to bed," Frost was quick to cave. "Deal?"
"Deal," Amelia nodded, shaking Frost's outstretched hand. "I know just what I want to do!"

"You know we really should have tried to get home earlier," Maura laughed as she and Jane made their way to the front door of the house, exchanging kisses along the way, the couple unable to keep their hands off each other after several hours spent on the dance floor. "We're really going to owe Barry for this. He's been with Amelia for hours."
"Yeah, yeah I'll buy him a coffee on Monday," Jane replied, kissing Maura's neck, making the blonde moan as her hand searched for the doorknob behind her, eventually finding it, causing the couple to stumble through the front door.
Laughing the pair were surprised to find the family room empty, not a sound heard throughout the house.
"Hmm maybe Frost got tired and decided to crash in the guest room," Jane shrugged, finally releasing her hold on Maura's waist, instead joining their hands together. "Come on, let's go check on the little munchkin and get to bed because I cannot wait to get you in bed," she grinned, leaning in for a kiss before pulling the blonde up the stairs.
"Careful not to wake her," Maura whispered when they reached Amelia's bedroom door, knowing if they woke the little blonde, they would have to stay and the blonde wasn't sure she would survive that; the sexual tension between her and Jane at an all-time high.
Slowly and quietly opening up the door, Jane was the first to poke her head into Amelia'a room, quickly clapping a hand over her mouth to keep herself from laughing out loud at the sight she found inside.
"Oh my God," Jane whispered, pulling Maura into the room and towards Amelia's bed, where her nightlight revealed both she and Frost fast asleep, the little girl's head resting against Frost's chest, his arm draped around her. Though the sight would normally warm both Jane and Maura's hearts, it was Frost's attire that sent both women into a fit of silent giggles. "Is that glitter?" Jane snorted, hardly able to keep her voice low.
With a pink boa around his neck and a crown on his head Frost appeared to have let Amelia give him some sort of makeover as he also had glitter covering his cheeks and eyelids.
"Do you think we should wake him?" Maura asked still chuckling.
"I think we should take a picture!" Jane laughed, pulling out her cell phone and immediately snapping a picture, the sound rousing Frost, who groaned as he squinted open his eyes.
"What…what the…" Frost's eyes widened as he realized Jane and Maura were in the room, remembering what he was wearing. "Oh man."
"You look good Buddy," Jane grinned. "You have a good time?"
"Great actually," Frost replied honestly, carefully moving the still sleeping Amelia and laying her down before crawling out of the bed. "Although your daughter is incredibly difficult to say no to," he turned to Maura.
"Trust me I know," Maura smiled, leaning over to kiss Amelia goodnight, leading Frost out into the hallway while Jane took her turn to say her goodnights. "Thank you so much for watching Amelia tonight Barry," she said as Frost handed the feather boa and crown over to her. "I'm willing to bet she had a great time with you."
"She's a great kid," Frost grinned. "And even though she just provided Jane with a huge amount of blackmail I had a good time."
"You bet she did," Jane laughed as she joined the pair, shutting Amelia's door. "The glitter's a real good look for you bud."
"Aw shut up," Frost rolled his eyes, giving the brunette a soft punch in the arm. "Alright I'm out of here. You ladies enjoy the rest of your evening.
"Thank you Barry," Maura called.
"Yeah thanks Frost," Jane added, Frost already halfway down the stairs as she turned to Maura. "I think this has seriously been the best night ever."
"You know I may have to agree," Maura smiled, taking a step closer to her girlfriend. "Though I think," she kissed the brunette's neck. "It's about to get even better."
