Being Single

12

The following morning I went downstairs to get some water and noticed a grand piano with photos up and my painting I did for my nani years ago when I was in med school.

I read a note Yilena left me.
Maura I knew you said you wanted to get a piano because you regretted selling yours. I hope you enjoy it. Also while, I was at work at returned home not feeling well and saw Jane had put up photos and a painting she told me you had done for your nani many years ago of the second light house home. You are lovely and very talented. Enjoy sweetie. Detective Salas. 😉

I started to cry and began playing the piano.
Maura I see you found your surprise gift. Yes thank you Yilena. Jane thank you too. I would hug you but don't want to get you gals worse especially you Jane since your pregnant.
Your welcome sweetie. Maur no problem. Why are you not in Bed? I got thirsty and ran out of water on whomever brought me some and supplies while I fell asleep. I noticed my blouse and skirt were gone. Maur I asked the cleaning staff to drop it off at the cleaners for you. I hope they can get the stain out of the skirt. Me too, since it is one of my favorites. Maura go back to bed. We will bring you some pho that Jane ordered for us all for dinner and some water. Thank you. Please bring me some crackers too. We will sweetie. Now get. Yes mam.
Jane warmed up the pho for us all and we took Maura's up to her with lemons, chili, crackers and water on the bed tray.

Thanks you guys. Jane I did my change of address but only HR KNOWS. Okay. Maur your fever broke. Sit here while we strip your bed and spray microban on your mattress and get you clean bedding and more wood for your fire place. Jane I am not cold anymore. Maura you still need to stay warm. I will under the blankets. I promise. I will change my pajamas too. Okay but the wood will still be here if you want a fire going. Just ask one of us. Yilena you came home too. Yes, I just have a cold not the flu like you two had so far that is. I cuddled up with Jane when I came home.

We finished stripping her bed and put new bedding including blankets. Maur changed into clean pajamas and begin to eat her dinner. We left her to take her bedding to be washed and to wash up to eat our dinner and drink water to stay hydrated.
Yilena went upstairs to get the bowl and other empty items. Maur had text me saying she ate it all and didn't want anymore except pineapple juice to loosen up her phlegm and several bottles of water and more toilet paper.
Yilena went upstairs to get the bed tray with a mask on again and sprayed microban on herself in the air and threw the mask out and came downstairs. I was going upstairs to bring her the pineapple juice with a straw, several bottles of water and a package of toilet paper. I put one roll on the holder and left the other on her counter.
Thanks Jane. We both will be sleeping in our bedrooms tonight with the doors open . If you need anything, call, text or scream for us. Okay.
Jane left and I fell back to sleep.
I removed my mask and walked through the mist of microban and threw my mask away in the trash outside her door.
Yilena was doing the dishes and finishing up when I returned. I washed my hands and we both went to our own rooms after I switched the laundry upstairs to the dryer and put in another load of laundry.

The following morning Yilena was feeling better but stayed home to make sure. The flu was going around the pd. Atwater had called me to tell me he and Antonio were home now and they were eating the breakfast that Izzy. My cousin's, Joey's wife.

I was feeling better and went to work after I checked on Maur.
I drove to work work went directly to human resources to complete my change of address on all the forms. I still haven't told my family I moved.

It's been now three months and I and I are both showing. Maur finally told everyone who the her baby father was. Everyone was caught off guard but supportive.
Rizzoli I know you are tired of desk duty but being pregnant you know the rules. Yes but sheriff. No buts.
My wife looks at me and tells me to lower my voice that the entire floor heard me.

Jane hang in there. He didn't sleep well last night and woke up grumpy. I think he is coming down with the flu so stay away from him. Thanks Hailey. No problem. Here are the two cases we are working on. You could help me doing the computer work and phone calls. The things I look forward to. Oh Jane. Wow, Maura , you okay? These twins are on my bladder and I am in the bathroom every hour. I am sending pike out with you guys. Oh great thanks. Sorry Barry. It's okay. You just stay off your feet as much as you can. I am trying. Jane you up for turkey burger with pickles and peanut butter with fries with mustard? Maur yes on the fries with ketchup and a turkey burger with the works but no peanut butter. The twins are sure making you eat differently I know.
