Jericho Part Two

Maura had been pacing for hours. Not a word on Jericho nor Jane.

"Maura," Angela spoke, reaching out to her, "come. Sit. Please before you put a hole in the floor."

"How are you so calm right now? Jane-" "Is going to be fine. And if he takes on after his Ma, I know he will too."

Angela took Maura's hands into her own.

"Jericho." Maura said. "Huh?"

"His name. Jericho Frost Rizzoli." Maura smiles briefly before looking down.

"Family of Jane and Baby Boy Rizzoli?" A doctor says.

Maura got up and went over to him.

"They're both gonna be okay. Baby Rizzoli was a little bit too high and the contractions weren't helping Jane breathe. She's still sleeping, but I can arrange for him to come to the room so you can hold him."

Maura smiles, "Thank you Doctor Martin."

"You're welcome, now go meet your son."

*****
Jane woke up to the sound of Maura's voice. She was singing something.

" I'll grow when you grow
Let me loosen up the blindfold
I'll fly when you cry
Lift us out of this landslide"

Maura was rocking Jericho back and forth.

"Wherever you go
Whenever we part

I'll keep on healing all the scars
That we've collected from the start
I'd rather this than live without you
For every wish upon a star
That goes unanswered in the dark
There is a dream I've dreamt about you

And from afar, I lie awake
Close my eyes to find I wouldn't be the same

Without you. Without you."

"That was really pretty." Jane said, voice still full of sleep.

"Hey gorgeous." Maura kissed Jane's forehead, "How are you feeling?"

"Okay for having another near death experience...all to bring him here...may..." Jane lost her words as Maura handed him to her.

"Oh Maur.... he's beautiful...how did we manage?" "You did all the heavy lifting... I bet his father would be proud."

"Yeah..." Jane looked At Jericho...he had his father's eyes.

He was the last of Frost she had left.
