At the Hospital

Everyone's there looking at the baby.
Cindy's taking pictures.

Jill: You know the media's not allowed to take pictures up here.

They look at her.

Jill: I'm just saying.

Claire: Don't let us stop you.

She takes a picture of Jill holding the baby.

Jill: No one ever sees that picture.

Lindsay: Oh, come on. You look adorable.

Claire: This little girl looks like she's about ready to go home.

Cindy: Wherever that is.

Jane walks in.

Jane: She belongs with her grandparents.

Grandma: Sweetie. Oh, my gosh. Oh, look at her. Oh, sweetie.

Cindy: Excuse me. Would you mind if I took a picture?

Grandma: You are so beautiful. Sweetie.

Claire: You done good.

Grandma: Oh, sweetie.

Jill: A murdered father, mother in jail-She's gonna have a lot to deal with growing up.

Jane: She's got two people in her life who care more about her than anything. I'd say that's a good place to start.

Maura: I'm guessing you need a drink.

Jane: After this case- yes, I do. How about you? Are you okay?

Maura starts crying and shakes her head no. Jane hugs her, picks her up and starts crying too.

Jane: (crying) Come on.

Jill: Are you guys okay?

Jane: No. (clears throat) Uh, why don't you guys meet us at the house. We'll explain everything there.

Cindy: You sure?

Jane: Yeah. We'll meet you there.

Jill: Okay.

They all walk out.
