Winging It: Baby Overload ~ {A Rizzoli & Isles Fanfic}

Doggie Style

Bret's POV

Sittin' in the back of the ambulance, there were a lot of questions goin' through my mind. I sat there and watched Maura hold Jane's hand, wonderin' what the hell was going on. I mean, I've never had a baby before- what do I know? I don't know the signs of labor or what it feels like- I was pretty scared for Maura. It made me feel good knowin' that she had Jane there for her as well. Jane's had a baby before so she can help with the coachin'. I will be there for support.

When we got to the hospital, they brought Maura back into an examination room. The friggin' doctors told me and Jane to wait in the waiting room and they will call us back when she's ready to deliver. Jane sat there pretty calm as I was pacing 'round the whole room. "Bret, just relax. She's fine!" she told me.

"I'm the friggin' father. I should be back there with her. I promised her I will be." I replied.

"They will call the both of us back there when she's ready. This is a good sign that they're not coming out. The baby isn't ready yet."

"Are you sure?"

"Am I sure? I had a freakin' baby, of course I'm sure."

I sat down, taking Jane's word for it. Within a few minutes, the rest of the clan got here. Angela was frantic and pacing around with me. Everyone else stayed mostly calm, sittin' next to Jane. How the hell is everyone so calm? I don't get it!

"Bret, will you calm down? She's going to be okay!" Jane hollered again.

Before I could respond, the doctor came out to talk to us. "You guys all here for Doctor Maura Isles?" he asked us. At this point, Jane immediately stood up and joined Angela and I as we were talkin' to the doctor. "Yea," I told her.

"Alright, she is in labor, but her water didn't break yet. She is in a room right now if you guys would like to go see her," the doctor told us as she led the way to Maura's room.

As I walked into the room, I saw Maura in a hospital gown layin' on the bed. She was sittin' up and eatin' ice out of a plastic cup. When I saw on the chair next to her, the rest of the gang came in. "Maura, sweetie, how are you feeling?" Angela asked her.

"Agh, I'm feeling fine for now. Jane, I'm so sorry that I ruined the party," Maura said.

"You didn't ruin the party, Maur..." Jane spoke as she paused before continuing, "...the baby did."

Maura chuckled and replied, "I'm still sorry."

"Don't worry about it, sweetheart. It's just the baby's time," Angela whispered.

We all sat there silent for a little bit. Korsak, Frankie, Tommy, and Cavanaugh went back out in the waiting room after making sure Maura was alright. In the room with us was Jane, Angela and Lexi. The two babies were out playin' with Tommy and the other men. Man, I wish I was out there with them instead of being here listening to "girl talk" and what not.

They were talking about the cervix, cramps, and their women parts tearing during birth. Three things that I did NOT want to hear. There was a point when Maura turned to me and laughed, saying, "I'm sorry honey."

I kinda just shook it off and pretended to ignore their conversation. But what any man can tell ya is that these things are extremely difficult to ignore. Just when I thought the subject was finally about to change, Maura said, "...and I haven't waxed in months..."

At this point in the conversation, I felt like I was going to get sick. "I uh... I think I'm going to go get a drink of water," I told them as I got up from the chair. The four of them started laughin' at me as I made my way out of room.
