This month is going to be super busy for me since tomorrow is my birthday and it appears this entire month I have plans but I will try to update as much as I can! So enjoy this update!
Maura walked around Boston showing her new friend the sites of Boston, but now they sat at a café eating sandwiches and drinking teas.
"Two kids, wow! Well congratulations you look great for having two!" Natalie said amazed causing Maura to chuckle and accept the compliment.
"Thank you, with Sofia I didn't gain a lot of weight but with Loren I did but I lost it rather quickly." Maura smiled back.
"I've always wanted kids but I'm not going to have that chance." The response through Maura as she saw Natalie's head hang low finally getting it Maura felt herself wanting to comfort the other woman.
"There is always adoption or your partner could carry them or find someone that already has children, just because you can't have them physically doesn't mean you can never have them. I was adopted so see there are other options." Maura took Natalie's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze which was returned with a squeeze of the hand and a smile.
"Thank you, I mean I know all of that stuff but sometimes I get discouraged."
The two continued to talk until Maura's phone rang give an apologetic look Maura took out her phone from her purse and sighed when she saw it was Jane, accepting the call Maura went to speak but was interrupted.
"Maura, where does Loren usually put his bear I can't find the damn thing anywhere and he is crying up a storm and Sofia won't talk to me!"
"Hello, to you as well he usually puts in three places in his bed, somewhere in the living room or in my bed." Maura responded.
"Okay, got it!" Jane replied and before Maura could speak the line went dead showing the call had been disconnected, sighing Maura turned her phone off and put her head in her hands.
"You know from what you have told me about Jane I don't think her not saying thank you doesn't mean it isn't there, besides she sounded frustrated." Natalie replied trying to comfort the woman in front of her.
"That is true, she is never going to find that bear! I have to go, I'm sorry if you want you can come along or if you don't want to I understand." Maura stood up and paid for the lunch and started to gather her things.
"I'll go besides I haven't seen that side of town much especially when I am going to be living near it might as well get it out of the way!"
Pulling up to the house Maura shook her head when she saw Jane's car and all of the lights on, getting out of the car Natalie followed Maura to the door a bit nervous now upon realizing she'll be meeting her friends kids and estranged wife. Natalie took a step back upon entering the home it was very nice but at the moment a mess. She saw a tall woman with wild black hair run past them then stop mid stride, turning around the taller woman had a look of a deer caught in headlights.
"Maura, um I swear the house was clean an hour ago and I can't find that damn bear anywhere!" Jane replied with a flail of her arms.
"Did you check under the beds?"
"Um, well…not exactly." Rolling her eyes Maura went up the stairs followed closely by Jane, Natalie heard the two bickering all the way up the stairs breaking from her trance she saw two little kids who could only be Sofia and Loren looking at her.
"Who are you?" Sofia asked.
"I am Natalie; I am a friend of your mommy's and you must be Sofia and you must be Loren your mommy has told me so much about you two." Before Sofia could respond the sound of Jane and Maura arguing could be heard.
"Mommy and momma do that a lot, want to watch a movie?" Sofia asked but before Natalie could respond the two Rizzoli-Isles kids had both of her hands and were guiding her to the couch to watch the movie that was on the T.V. which happened to be Toy Story.
The movie finished and Toy Story 2 started up Sofia, Loren, and Natalie sat eating popcorn, drinking juice boxes and eating a box of cookies that they found hidden away that is how the three were found when Maura and Jane walked into the living both obviously not happy with the other. Maura smiled at the scene, Jane looked at Maura then looked at what was in front of her instantly not liking some mystery woman enjoying watching her and her kids favorite movies.
"Sorry, for the delay we can go back to site seeing now." Maura replied, Natalie looked up and smiled.
"Okay, this is almost over!" Natalie grinned and went back to the movie while putting a handful of popcorn in her mouth and taking the last cookie out of the package and breaking it into threes, Sofia and Loren took their respected piece and quickly shoved them into their mouths. The movie ended and Natalie stood up and stretched, walking up to Maura and Jane she extended her hand in a handshake.
"Hello, I'm Natalie." Jane took the hand and shook it not really wanting too.
"Jane."
"It's nice to meet you." Natalie smiled as their hands parted ways; Jane nodded and smiled with a strain to it. Maura had gone over and was hugging on Sofia and Loren who were talking excitedly.
"Momma, Momma! Can we go with Mommy and Natalie they were going to go the Science museum next!" Sofia begged with Loren right behind her.
"If it is okay with your mommy, and with your mommy's friend Natalie." Jane put a lot of emphasis on friend for which Natalie picked up on and took a small step back.
"I know we said you would get them this week but would it be okay I've missed them and they can stay the night with me since it'll be late." Maura smiled and had a pleading look in her eyes; Jane knew Maura had missed the kids.
"Yeah, they've missed you too why don't you two go up and pack a bag and in a bit we'll come up and check them." Jane replied causing Sofia and Loren to jump happily and run towards their rooms leaving the adults alone. Silence settled until Jane couldn't hold it in anymore.
"I'm not blind what is going on between you two?"
