I have nothing

Hush-a-bye Mountain/"I remember"

It had been several months, and Jane still couldn't remember.

She started to learn everyone's names and starting to get them right, but she still had issues trying to remember her wife's.

She had been told so many times, it was hard to remember.

She was dragged out of sleep when a voice kept saying, "Mama. Mama. Mama."

"Huh?" Jane asked.

"Sorry Mama, I didn't mean to wake you." Said Brady.

"S'okay." Jane said rolling to her back, "Where's your Mom?"

"She was called into work." "Huh... it's midnight. Why are you out of bed?"

Jane heard the crash of lightning and not even a minute later, Kate and Tony ran into the room.

"We hate thunderstorms." Brady said.

"What about Abree?" Jane asked.

"She sleeps through anything. Mom says that she gets it from you." Tony said.

"Can we crawl into bed with with you?" Kate asked.

"Sure." Jane said.

After some shifting around, the triplets we're in bed.

Another thunder roll occurred and the kids burried themselves into Jane.

"Hey. It's okay... uh..." Jane thought for a second before she started to sing an old tune.

"A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mountain

Softly blows o'er lullaby bay.

It fills the sails of boats that are waiting--

Waiting to sail your worries away.

It isn't far to Hushabye Mountain

And your boat waits down by the quay.

The winds of night so softly are sighing--

Soon they will fly your troubles to sea.

So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain.

Wave good-bye to cares of the day.

And watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain

Sail far away from lullaby bay."

She fell asleep after the kids.

Maura walked into the room and saw Jane and the triplets fast asleep.

She smiled and kissed Jane's forehead. Jane stirred.

"Sorry." Maura whispered.

"S'okay." Jane said. She looked around, "I don't think I can move."

Maura chuckled.

"Time is it?" Jane asked.

"Three...are any of them on your stitches?" Maura asked.

"Nah. They're fine...are you sure that two of them came out of me?" Jane asked.

"Yep. Tony and Kate. We adopted Brady." Maura sat down at the edge of the bed.

"What about Autrie?" "Abree and I had her."

"Damn," Jane said, "you and Abree I mess up your names."

"It's okay." Maura said.

"No it's not. I can't remember. How am I supposed to be here and take care of you and the kids if I can't remember. God, Melissa, I love you, but it's just too hard." Jane said.

"I can tell you are making progress." Maura said, "What can you remember today?"

"I remembered a lullaby from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang." "That's good. What else?"

"I remembered Abree's name earlier." Jane said.

"Let me go write that down." Maura said.

"Wait Maura!" Jane said.

Maura stopped and put a hand over her mouth. She tried to keep her tears at Bay.

"Maura?" Jane asked.

"Yes Jane?" Maura said.

"I remembered something." "What?"

"I remembered your name. Maura. I also remember that I met you in a hospital. I remember meeting Abree. I remember having Tony and Kate. I remember adopting Brady. I remember."
