"Momma!" Ava whined from her bed during a thunder storm, as she was scared of the noise and all the flashing light.
"I guess one of us should go and see her." Jane said, whilst they were both downstairs enjoying some wine and some time to themselves which they didn't get all that much of after having a daughter.
"I'll go." Maura responded before going up the stairs to see her 3 year old daughter. "What's up sweetheart?" Maura asked warmly after getting up to Ava's room and sat down on the side of Ava's bed.
"I'm scared." She sobbed.
"Of the storm?" Maura asked.
"Yes Momma." Ava answered.
"Do you want a cuddle to make it all better?" Maura asked.
"Yes." Ava whimpered and let Maura lift her up into her lap where she hugged her and reassured her constantly until she fell back to sleep around half an hour later at which point Maura decided to tuck her back up in to bed, being very gentle to ensure that Ava wasn't woken again before going bac downstairs to continue her evening with Jane.
"Is she okay?" Jane asked when Maura came back down the stairs.
"Yes. She's just scared of the storm." Maura told Jane. "She's gone back to sleep now though so if you want we can have our together time now." She answered, hinting at the fact that she really wanted sex, and she knew Jane also wanted it by a certain glimmer in her eye.
"Okay Maura. I want that." Jane agreed and smirked.
