A/N: Thanks to all of my reviewers your kind words mean so much to me.


Chapter 20

Present Day

"Janie, you have an absolutely perfect baby boy. I think he gets prettier every time that I see him." Anna bounced Hank in her arms. The infant in question looked up at her with a huge smile on his face. "You know how adorable you are, yes you do." She cooed at the baby.

Jane finished running a towel through her hair. Getting in a shower had helped to relax her from the stress she had gone through today. "Anna, you keep telling that boy how good lookin' he is and I will send the first girl whose heart he breaks to your door." She tucked her long sleeved SWAT t-shirt into her cargo pants.

"You don't get to bitch at me right now. You have turned my house into some kind of command post." Anna stared daggers at her niece.

"It couldn't be helped." Jane shrugged like there was nothing that she could do about it.

Gia walked up and slapped Jane on the back. "Janie, don't let her fool you. We are happy to keep you, your wife, and your son safe for as long as we need to." She got to work setting up a playpen for Hank.

"Dare I ask why you had that on hand?" Jane arched her eyebrow.

Gia tried her best to look innocent. "I may have made sure to get this when I found out that you were pregnant. I wanted to make sure that I had everything I needed to take care of my future nephew if I had to."

Maura gasped and put a hand over her chest obviously touched at Gia's admission. "We would be honored to have you watch our son every chance that you can."

"Maur, don't give her a bigger head than she already has. I know that she is pathetic when she gets soft, but don't fall for that." Jane laughed softly.

"She really is a big softy. You have no idea how excited she was when she found out you were gonna have a baby she would get to bond with. She wants to turn Hank into another you." Anna chimed in.

"I know how Gia is." Jane replied with a knowing smile on her face.

Gia glared at her wife and niece. "Enough about me. I think it's time that Janie and I get with the boys and plan out how we are gonna bring in the guy who took Hank."

Jane couldn't fault her aunt for her logic. "Are the boys from SWAT here?"

"Yeah, let's go see what we can work out." Gia put her arm around Jane's shoulders and led her into the other room.

"Anna, make sure that you take care of Maura and Hank while I'm busy working. I know that you are able to chase off the bad guys almost better than I can with that attitude of yours." Jane looked over her shoulder.

Anna made a shooing motion with her hands. "Just go work with Gia and your boys. I've got Maura and Hank safe here with me no matter what anyone thinks. My wife has spent a lot of time with me on the gun range to make sure that I'm able to protect our family. Maura and your son are part of our family and I will do everything within my power to keep them safe." She wanted to make sure that her niece knew she had her back no matter what.

"Gianna, get your first born child and take her in the other room." Anna pointed at her wife sternly. The running joke in the family was that Jane was Gia's first child because of how much she was like her aunt. "Hank, please don't be as much like your mama as I think you're gonna be. Be more like your mommy." She kissed her nephew's forehead.

Gia put both her hands on Jane's shoulders. "Ok, Janie, let's go in there and plan out how we are gonna find this guy. The sooner we have a lead the sooner we can bring him into custody." She steered her niece into the basement where everyone else was gathered.

"Well, Vince, has Casey's mom in interrogation right now to see if we are gonna have a full scale mob war on our hands. If it were up to me, we would throw the old bitch in lockup and leave her there for the rest of her miserable life." Jane stomped down the steps while she bitched about Hank's sperm donor's mother. She wouldn't trade her son for anything in the world, but she wished she would have picked someone better than Casey to father her son.

"What are we going to do if there is a war between the Doyle's and the Flanagan's?" Gia sat her niece down in a chair to keep her from working off her nervous energy by pacing for as long as she could.

Jane bounced her leg up and down. "I'm not gonna let it get to that point. I have a card I can play after we find out what Vince gets out of that old harpy." She chewed on the side of her thumb nervously. She had a lot of energy that she needed to get out. She wouldn't be able to fully relax until she had Hoyt's latest apprentice who had dared to take her son. The card she had to play came from the fact that Hank was Maura's son.

"What if we leave now and get to the old bitch before Korsak and Cavanaugh can?" Gia raised one of her eyebrows in challenge.

"Let's stop sitting around and doing this then. Let's get our time in with her before Vince and Sean beat us to it. There is no sense in doing this if I don't get to put the fear of God into that woman myself." Jane more than rose to the occasion.


Even though Jane had promised Casey that she wouldn't bring his mother into Hank's case, she still felt the need to put the fear of God into the meddlesome old bitch. She needed to make sure that the woman knew not to cross her when it came to her family ever again. She had brought Gia for backup hoping that she would be able to keep her from killing an old ass woman. It was more than enough for her that Vince and Sean were going to bring a case against the old bat, she just needed to speak her peace.

Jane knocked loudly on the front door in front of her. She had absolutely lost whatever manners she had out of irritation. She frowned deeply when she saw who had opened the door.

"Jane, what are you doing here?" Casey's jaw dropped and he tried to block her view of the room.

Jane glared at him harshly. "Out of my way, Jones, I need to have a word with your mother." She shouldered her way into the house. She didn't have the time or the patience to play nicely right now. She stomped her way into the living room where Helen was sitting.

"It's best to just hang back and let her get it out of her system." Gia counseled the soldier before following after her niece. She didn't put it past the younger woman to do something rash in the moment that she would end up regretting for the rest of her life.

Helen slammed her cane down on the ground and used it to get up from her chair. "What is the meanin' of you stormin' into me home ye little skinny dyke?" She questioned the detective hotly.

"If you knew what was good for you, you would sit down and shut the fuck up right now. It's not your turn to talk. I have some things I need to say to you to make sure you are clear on boundaries." Jane towered over the woman, but tilted her neck so that she could stare her down.

To her credit Helen had sense enough to be cowed by Jane's show of force. She shrank back and sat down in her chair. "Say whatever it is that ye have to say to me then get the hell out of my house."

Jane swiped her left hand across her bottom lip before she replied to the old woman. "I don't want to be in your house anymore than you want me here." She crossed her arms over her chest and shot a glare at Casey's mother. "You went out of your way to sic dangerous people from my past and from Maura's past into taking our son. You committed way more crimes than you ever knew when you set about plotting to get my son taken from me. From this moment forward you will have no contact with Hank and you will forget that he is related to you by the man who donated his sperm to make him. If you break this agreement, then you will be in prison for as long as I can get a judge to sentence you to. I let your son talk me into not pressing charges against you, but that doesn't mean I will hesitate to if it means that I am able to keep my son safe. You can take that offer or leave it. If you choose not to take it then I will make sure that you will not rest until I have chased, you to the ends of this earth."

Casey looked on in disbelief. Even he was intimidated by the stance that Jane had taken against his mother. "Jane, you promised me that you wouldn't go after my mother for this thing. You can't do or say anything that will upset her now that I have her calmed down."

Jane glared harshly at her former flame. "I need her to know what will happen to her if she crosses the line when it comes to my son." She pushed her right hand against his chest to keep him back from the confrontation that was going on between her and his mother. "You will stay the fuck away from my son and you will stay the fuck away from my wife. I don't care what you think you're entitled to, just because he shares some DNA with you. He is nothing to you and it will always be that way. Your son chose to deny my son and now no one in your family has any claim to him. If you do anything that puts him in danger ever again then I will put you into the ground and no one will ever find your body."

Helen batted her arm in a dismissive manner. "Bah," She tried her best to give Jane a dirty look. "Ye, will not be tellin' me what I can and can't do when it comes to my own grandson."

Jane jumped and got into the older woman's face with a harsh look on her face. "He's not your fuckin' grandson!" She yelled at her.

Gia grabbed her niece and pulled her back before she did something that would hurt the old woman. "Janie, it's ok. I've got you. I promise you that I won't let her do anything else that will hurt Hank. That boy is my nephew and you know that I will always love him as much as I love you." She tried her best to make sure that her niece had the reassurance that she needed.

"Ye, can't change the fact that it is my son's blood running through your boy's veins. You can keep him away from us all ye want, but we will always be his family." Helen yelled in Jane's face as loudly as she could.

Casey grabbed his mother by the shoulders and forced her down into her chair. "Mom, you need to back the fuck off. If you don't drop this whole thing, then that detective who is threatening you will make good on those threats. The only reason that you aren't in jail right now is because she let your crimes against her son go as a favor to me."

"Fine," Helen sighed loudly and crossed her arms to show her displeasure at the turn that events had taken. "I will make sure that I stay away from my own grandson in order to to keep myself outta jail." She finally relented. There wasn't much else that she could do right now. She just had to trust that the members of her family that were in the Irish mob would be able to get her grandson home to her if they were given enough time.

Jane gave her a deep long hard look to make sure the elderly woman understood that she meant business. "I will take that for what it is." She said before she turned on her heel and marched out of the house with all of the authority that she had in her. She wanted to get out of there before her boss and her partner showed up to drag the shrew down to the station.


Helen Jones sat in a chair in the conference room. Vince and Sean Cavanaugh both sat across the table from her. It had only been about five minutes after Jane and Gia left that the other pair had shown up.

Sean had stepped in to question Casey's mother with his Sgt. He did it out of loyalty to his new Sgt. If this was a thing that he could take off Jane's plate he was more than willing to do that for her. Sean wouldn't admit it to just anyone, but Jane was the best detective he had ever worked with bar none. There was no doubt in his mind that she was the future of the department. There was nothing holding her back from reaching the top.

"Mrs. Jones, did you know what you were doing when you activated the Flanagan's? Did you know that it might trigger a war with the Doyle family?" Sean asked the woman. He didn't trust Vince to be able to keep his cool when it came to his grandson.

"The better question is did the Doyle's know what they were doing when they claimed a Flanagan as their own? Paddy Doyle can claim my grandson as his as much as he wants. Young Henry is my grandson and nothing can change that." Helen flung both her hands in a dismissive manner.

Vince shot up out of his chair and banged both his fists down on the table in front of him. "Hank is my grandson! You're lucky that I'm a damn cop. I wanna wrap my fuckin' hands around your throat and squeeze until you take your last breath. My profession keeps me from acting on what I really wanna do to you." His nostrils flared as he glared at the woman across from him. He wouldn't hesitate to find a way to put her behind bars if it meant keeping his grandson safe.

"Calm down, Vince!" Sean popped up from his seat and put both his hands on Vince's shoulders from behind. He forced the other man back into his seat before speaking again. "Don't do something stupid, Vince. We have her on conspiracy and nothing she can do or say will change that. We aren't leaving this one up to Rizzoli, she is too kind when she doesn't need to be. We are gonna charge this witch with everything we can to make sure she is never a danger to Baby Rizzoli ever again." He spoke lowly and softly in Vince's ear so that he knew what the plan was in this situation.

"I'm sure that Jane has a plan for this and we just need to wait to hear from her." Vince knew that his partner was capable of more than anyone thought she was. She had an aptitude for the job that hadn't seen in any other detective he had ever known or worked with.

Sean chuckled silently at that. "She was born with instincts that can't be taught and we will be lucky if she teaches other detectives to be like her." He nodded his head in agreement with that statement. "If we are lucky she will be able to teach the next generation of detectives what she knows. I think we both know that one way or another she is going to be both our bosses one of these days. It's only a matter of time before the brass finds a way to give her my job. They know that she is the best of all of us as well as we all do."


Jane marched into the private room that had been arranged for her to talk to the inmate that she needed to talk to. She knew that her friends on the inside would do the best that they could do to keep word of this meaning from leaking out.

The door to the room opened and a guard led in the person who Jane was waiting for. He sat the prisoner down on the opposite side of the bench from the detective. He cuffed the detainee's wrists to the table before stepping out of the room to let the other two people talk over the business that they had with each other.

"Rizzoli, I can't say that I'm surprised to see you here." Paddy spoke up after a couple minutes. "I just hope that you have news for me about my grandson." He let the cop before him know that he was in the loop with what was going on.

Jane stood up from her chair and unlocked the handcuffs that were around Paddy's wrists. "You shouldn't be surprised at all. I know that you are the one who helped with getting us the information to find Hank. You can't be shocked that I'm here to see you now that we've gotten him back."

Paddy did his best to keep his face from betraying what he was feeling. He wasn't going to let the detective know how well she could read him. "He's my grandson. I will do whatever that I can do for him. When my daughter came to me and asked me to help her find her son there was no way in hell that I was gonna fail her when it came to this situation. I couldn't do what I wanted to do for her when she was younger, but I can spoil her the way I want to now."

"I know that you show up for family." Jane looked him up and down. "How much do you want to get out of here and be a part of your daughter's life? Instead of serving life in prison you could be a part of a family." She would offer him whatever she could if it meant keeping her family safe.

Paddy stared into Jane's eyes intently. "I would be willing to sell my soul to be a part of Maura's life. I mean Maura and the other two daughters that Hope and I have together. If there is even the glimmer of the chance that I could have a chance to be with the love of my life, then I would be willing to risk laying down my life."

"Good," Jane slapped a legal document down onto the table for the enforcer to sign. "I don't care if you think signing this makes you a rat, if you want to have a future to try to make a life with your family you'll do it anyway." She put a pen down on the table too. If she knew the part of him that was in Maura, then he wouldn't hesitate to sign the document. "I managed to get you immunity and the ability to stay in Boston without seeming like a snitch.

Paddy read the document over before he looked back up at Jane. "What exactly do I have to tell you to get this deal?"

"You just have to give us information on the Flanagan family and that will get you the deal as long as you don't try to strike back against them for taking Hank." Jane informed him.

Paddy looked down at the document and then back up at Jane. "I can agree to everything that is on that document as long as I get to be free and have another chance to make things right." He reached out and shook Jane's hand. "I promise that I won't break this deal." If he had to snitch on a couple of people, then it would be worth it to get to be with his family. He signed his name where it was indicated that he should. He didn't his lawyer look this over to know that Jane wouldn't sign off on anything that would screw him over since like it or not they were family.

"Well, Rizzoli, I will say this for you. You are damn sure able to get people to do the things that you want them to do without any argument." Gia had tagged along with her niece to talk to the mob enforcer.

Jane shrugged her shoulders in a show of false modesty. "Hey, I can't get what I want if I don't just go for it, Rizzoli." She smirked at her aunt. They were both cops so they referred to each other by last name when they were on the job.

Paddy stood up and put both his fists on the table knuckles down. "Rizzoli, get me out of here so I can help you do what you need me to do."

"We are on it right now, Doyle." Gia told him. She was doing her best to keep Jane from going off the rails.

"Look, the only thing that I care about is protecting my grandson from any threat that might be thrown his way." Paddy ran his hands over his face and sighed deeply. "He may be a Flanagan by blood, but he is a Doyle by love. If you let me send the message, I want to send then he will never have to worry about the criminal underworld coming after him."


Hank let out a plaintive cry from Anna's arms. She looked around for someone who could take him from her while she was cooking until she laid eyes on her first born son. "Jacob Rizzoli, you come wash your hands." She called out to her kid in the other room. She had Maura helping her in the kitchen while Jane was out doing other things.

Jake jumped up from the couch and went to wash his hands in the kitchen sink. He dried his hands off on a dish rag before he walked over to his mother. "My hands are clean; I think that it is safe for me to take him now."

Hank fussed a little bit more to show his displeasure. "Jake, take your cousin. He needs you right now." Anna thrust the infant into her son's arms without another thought. Hank had already been fed, burped, and changed, she knew it was safe to give him to her son.

"Shh, shh, little dude, Uncle Jake has got you. You're safe with me." Jake held Hank under both his armpits so that he was looking his baby cousin in the face.

Hank looked at the older man curiously and smiled widely.

"Oh, yeah, you can tell how much that Uncle Jake loves you, little boy." Jake kissed both of the baby's cheeks. "I know that you don't know what to make of me." He laughed softly when he saw the confused look that Hank was giving him.

Cailin walked up behind Jake and put her hands between his shoulder blades. She had come over to the house along with Hope. "I'm pretty sure that he thinks that you look like his Uncle Frankie. That is why he is looking at you that way."

Jake laid Hank over his shoulder and chuckled. "I don't know about all of that."

"He definitely thinks that you look like his Uncle Frankie, but you have a little bit of a beard. That is why he is looking at you like he doesn't know what to make of you. He is just like his mama and he has a certain face makes when he is trying to figure out a mystery." Maura informed the man she now knew was her nephew.

"Aunt Maura, I just want him to feel comfortable with me." Jake patted Hank's back gently. "You are my Aunt Janie's wife and I hope that you think of me as your nephew from now on."

Maura hugged Jake from the side and kissed his temple. She totally understood why he called her girlfriend Aunt Janie even though she was technically his cousin. She had a far enough age gap with him that it made more sense for the younger man to refer to the woman she was set to marry as an aunt. "I am so proud to be your aunt, Jake. I'm honored that you refer to me as that even though I'm not married to Jane yet."

"Aunt Janie is my godmother and if you are with her that makes you my aunt even before it is made official." Jake bounced Hank softly in his arms. "Trust me she would get on my ass if I didn't treat you like you're my aunt."

"I understand Jane better than anyone else can ever hope to." Maura hugged the younger man tightly and kissed her son's head. "Hank, be good to Jake. He loves you so very much."

Cailin rubbed Jake's back affectionately. She thanked her lucky stars that there was a Rizzoli her age that it would be feasible for her to be with. She ran two fingers gently across the top of Hank's head. "Mo, there is nothing to worry about. It is obvious that Hank loves Jake." She couldn't help defending the newest Rizzoli.

Jake leaned back into Cailin to enjoy her hand on his back. This hot girl had fallen into his lap and he was going to do everything in his power to get her to stay with him.

"Hank, go with Uncle Jake and Aunt Cailin. The two of them will keep you safe for right now." Maura grabbed her son's little hand and held on to it.

Hank grinned widely up at his mommy. He was as under her spell as his mama was.

Hope looked between her youngest child and the young man she was sharing space with. "Are all Rizzoli's so charming that they pull people in their orbit that quickly?" she had noticed just how easy it was to fall under the Rizzoli's spell.

"The answer to that is yes. They are all so damn charming and it is impossible not to fall under their thrall." Anna joined in the conversation.

"Jake, take Hank into the other room for me please." Maura flashed a smile at her nephew. "And they are all just as good as sex as they look like they would be. I mean I'm only speaking from the perspective that I am in with Jane." She said once her nephew and sister had taken her son out of the room.

A sly grin lit Anna's face. "She's not wrong about that either."

"I mean they do all really look like they would be good in bed." Constance made her presence known.

"It is just amazing to me that people are so quickly brought into their orbit." Hope spoke up.

"I don't think any of them can help it. The charm just seems to be built into their DNA. Even Jake has it about him, obviously." Anna gestured with her head to where Jake and Cailin sat with Hank on the living room couch.

Maura poured herself the other three women a glass of wine. "I think that we are in for a very long night and we are going to need this to get through it."

Angela stomped over to the group grumbling. "Damn charming ass Rizzoli's they can talk a person into doing anything. The next thing you know he is getting you agree to marry him and give him three children who are just as frustrating as he is."

Anna put held her hand up in a sign for her older sister to stop in her tracks. "Whoa, what's goin' on, Ange?"

"What's goin' on is that I fell for Frank Rizzoli and bore him three kids who are just as damn stubborn and charming as he is. Now the oldest of our children has her son getting kidnapped from a plot between a serial killer and the damn Irish Mob." Angela placed her hands upon her hips. "That same daughter mind you also has a tendency to have psychos after her. She just had to be a cop and since her younger brother has to do everything that she does he also became a cop and now I have twice the worry that I should have." She couldn't help needing to air out her flair for the dramatics.

"Angela, I'm sure that this little escapade was Hank showing his mother how her usual antics make the people who love her feel." Maura tried her best to reassure her mother-in-law.

Angela sighed and shook her head. "I just hope that Hank doesn't end up wanting to be a cop like his mother is. I will do everything that I can to talk him out of it. I don't want to have to worry about my grandson working alongside my two hard headed children."

"Jane and the rest of the cops are working to make sure that they catch everyone who had a hand in taking my son. I think that we are better spent putting our worry on Hank's christening." Maura redirected the older woman's attention. She knew if she didn't then Jane would have to deal with her mother's ire when she finally got back and that was the last thing her detective needed when she was working on something as important as this was.

"We have every intention to start cooking on Saturday. That way things will still be warm for the after party." Anna was quick to speak up on the subject.

"I have the staff cleaning the house and getting the kitchen ready for the family to use. You'll be the first family members to cook in that kitchen." Constance informed her.

"We will make sure that we christen the kitchen right then." Angela assured the other woman.

Anna chewed on her bottom lip worriedly. "I hope that Gia and Janie are being safe. I know that they both have the tendency to take risks, but I would think they know better than that by now. I can't be sure of that though."

"If Jane knows what's good for her, she will be as careful as possible. She has been threatened with me going on strike for six weeks and believe me when I say she knows that I'm serious about it." Maura couldn't keep the smirk off of her face.

Jake walked around the living room while he softly bounced Hank in his arms. He made sure to keep his movements gentle so that he didn't disturb the baby in his arms. "Shh, Uncle Jake has you and you're safe, little man. Go on to sleep and I promise you that your mommies will be here to love on you when you wake up." He also swayed from side to side as he took care of the child in his arms.

Cailin stepped up and kissed her nephew's forehead softly. "Jake, you are doing a great job with my nephew right now. I have seen him in the arms of a lot of people, but you are one of the top people I have ever seen him this comfortable with."

"He probably thinks that he is with his Uncle Frankie." Jane walked into the room with the hip that held her gun cocked out to the side. "He loves his Uncle Frankie just about as much as he loves his mommy." She planted a wet kiss on her nephew's cheek. "He looks so much like Frankie that Hank could think that's who Jake is."

Hank turned toward his mama's voice and a smile lit his tiny face.

"Jane, you're back." Maura had the softest look anyone had ever seen on her face at the moment. "Cailin and I both said the same think about Hank thinking that Jake is his Uncle Frankie."

Jane strutted over to her fiancée and wrapped her arms around the shorter woman. "Of course, I'm back. We have plans to set in motion. Most importantly I'm not just gonna run off on you and our son in the middle of a crisis." She dropped a quick kiss to Maura's neck to show her everything was going to be ok.
