A/N: I would say this is set around 3 years into the future from now, Maura and Jane have now adopted a daughter who would be 2 and her name is Ava as you'll find out from reading.

"Maura!" Jane screamed as she blacked out in her morgue. "Oh god Maur!" She exclaimed and kneeled next to her wife wanting to stay close to her as she called for an ambulance. Jane knew Maura hadn't been feeling well. She'd been complaining of a stomach ache and she'd been vomiting but she thought it was just the bug that their adopted daughter Ava had recently and that Jane was also unfortunate to come down with a couple of days before.

Maura came too just before the ambulance came. "Jane?" Maura asked groggily.

"I'm here sweetheart." She answered.

"I think I have peritonitis." She told her wife.

"What?" Jane asked, not being a doctor herself.

"I think my appendx is ruptured." She answered.

"Jeez Maur! That's serious." Jane responded, panicking even more now and not feeling greatly relieved when the ambulance arrived.

"She thinks her appendix is burst." Jane told the paramedics to give them some guidance.

"Okay, thank you." The paramedic responded. Before talking to Maura. "I'm going to apply some pressure on your lower right abdomen you need to tell me if it hurts more when I release it.

The paramedic checked to make sure Maura understood before applying the pressure onto her abdomen and releasing it. Maura tried to yelp in pain but couldn't because it hurt so much. "I think your right it is her appendix." The paramedic told Jane before moving quickly to get her to a hospital, knowing this was a medical emergency.

Jane hopped into the ambulance with them, wanting to stay close to her wife.

Upon arriving at the hospital Jane was reluctantly sent to the waiting area for family and friends as Maura needed to be immediately rushed into surgery. Jane paced around and phoned Frankie to tell him where they both were.

"Jane what's up?" He asked, answering the phone.

"I'm at the hospital with Maura, she's been rushed into emergency surgery."

"Is she okay?" He asked worriedly.

"Burst appendix." Jane answered pausing for a split second. "I'm so worried about her."

"I know. Anything I can do to help?" He offered.

"Can you ask ma to pick Ava up from daycare?" She asked.

"Of course I can." He answered. "How long will it be till Maura's out?" He asked.

"Anywhen upwards of an hour." Jane answered. "It depends on how severe her case is though."

"Do you want me to come and keep you company?" He asked.

"No. Keep working on the case." She answered. "I'll be fine here. And call with updates because I could use the distraction."

"Okay Jane. Call when Maura's out."

"Will do." She answered before saying goodbye to Frankie and sitting down in one of the seats hoping her wife would be okay.

After 3 hours the surgeon finally came out and told Jane Maura was out and the surgery was a success. This relieved Jane greatly and she went into her hospital room, sitting beside her until she came to.
