At the Hospital:

Maura's contractions were lasting sixty seconds and coming every four minutes. Her water had broken over ten hours ago, now her contractions were harder than before! Each contraction grabbed her complete attention and required the kind of managed breathing that she'd been practicing from Lamaze class. Unfortunately, it wasn't working.

The baby was right on schedule and Jane sat by Maura's side, holding her hand. Stroking the swollen belly to help relax her and when the next spasm hit, Jane was ready.

"Deep breaths, baby! You got this!" Her wife encouraged in a soothing tone. "Now… take it slow, love!" The brunette coached Maura through her respirations before lifting the doc's hand to her lips, kissing her palm just as Dr. Hartley and two nurses walked into the room dressed in matching dark blue scrubs.

"Okay Maura, let me check your cervix to see how far you have dilated." The doctor said before lifting the blue sheet covering Maura's lower body and giving her a quick vaginal exam. "It's finally time! You've dilated to ten centimeters." She informed Maura while changing out her gloves and walking over to check the fetal heartbeat monitor.

Jane Rizzoli waited and watched as they prepared her wife for the birth of their child. One of the nurses helped Jane dress into the same colored scrubs and Maura couldn't help but notice the brunette's wince in pain. "Be careful, Jane!" She told her wife just as another contraction hit, this one harder than ever! Screaming bloody murder, Jane was immediately at her wife's side once again, and assisting her through the discomfort.

"Okay Maura, on the next contraction I need you to push!" Dr. Hartley instructed her patient.

On the next hard contraction, Maura sat forward; pushing with all the strength she had remaining, screaming in pain.

"Hold on to me and push!" Jane yelled over Maura's screams. "That's right, honey! Push!" The brunette coached the laboring doc, letting her wring her fingers like spaghetti. At least the expectant mother's grip on her hand helped take the security specialist's mind off the pain of her recovering abdomen and lower belly!

"I can see the head now, Maura! You're doing fine… the baby's crowning!" Dr. Hartley stated, helping the baby make its way into the world, by performing an episiotomy, to prevent the rupturing of tissues. "Come over here, Jane, and have a look!" The brunette released her wife's hand to let her labor alone only for a moment to stand near the doctor.

Jane Rizzoli saw the first glimpse of her baby's dark, bloody head as it continued to crown, emerging from the mother's body. "I can see it! And it has dark hair Maura!" Jane yelled, taking her wife's hand again. "It's beautiful!" Her voice conveyed in wonder.

"Okay, the head's out! I need you to stop pushing for a moment while I clean the nose and mouth of any amniotic fluids." The doctor gently instructed. Maura managed to lie still as the OB-GYN worked in suctioning the baby's mouth and nose with a small bulb syringe, removing additional fluid.

Once she was done, Dr. Hartley looked back up at Maura. "Okay, on the next contraction, I need one big push, and we can meet your baby!"

Taking a deep breath and momentarily holding it, Maura Isles-Rizzoli closed her eyes and sat forward once again. Summoning all remaining strength she possessed, the honey blonde pushed hard, and could feel the baby slipping out… hopefully into Dr. Hartley's waiting hands!

"It's a girl!" The doctor squealed, holding the baby up above Maura's parted legs for the parents to see. The exhausted mother released a sob and fell back against the pillows. The brunette kissed her wife's dry lips before the Dr. Hartley called her over and Jane Rizzoli cut the umbilical cord. A nurse carried the precious burden off to be cleaned with Jane close behind her while Dr. Hartley continued to work with Maura a bit longer.

Helping her colleague deliver the placenta, the doctor started to repair the incision with a few stitches, that would end up dissolving as the body healed itself. The red headed doctor continued explaining everything she did to Maura's body and also cautioned that the incision might hurt for a few weeks — especially when walking or sitting. Dr. Maura Isles-Rizzoli understood all of this while she continued to rest, exhausted beyond imagination.

When the nurse laid the newborn under the warm heating light, she first released a little choked, struggling cry and the nurse resumed suctioning out the tiny nostrils and mouth. After a deep breath, the baby girl let loose a real scream, similar to her mother's when in the throes of labor. And the same mother heard it.

"Jane!" Maura cried out, fearing something was wrong.

Now wrapped in a soft pink blanket, Jane carried their baby over to meet her mommy. Smiling bigger than she'd ever seen Jane smile in her life, Maura relaxed even further as her wife came up alongside the bed. Laying their daughter up against Maura's breast, the blonde smiled the biggest smile identical to her wife's. The new mother gently touched and stroked the baby's damp, dark curls.

"Meet your Mommy, little Faith Alexandra Rizzoli-Isles!" The brunette whispered while carefully and gingerly kneeling by the head of the bed.

"Hello, Little One!" Maura softly greeted her daughter, gently placing a sweet kiss to the baby's soft, wrinkled, and red forehead. At the sound of her voice, Baby Faith opened her little eyes wide, gazing up at Maura. She smiled, turning her attention back to Jane, who looked on.

"She has your eyes, Maur!" Jane stated and the baby started looking around to find the other voice in the room.

"She's gorgeous... perfect combination of us both, my love!" Maura told her wife as Jane continued to smile. The brunette carefully leaned over the small bundle, and found her wife's mouth with her own.

Later that same day:

Jane and Maura's parents had just left with Jane having to practically push Angela out the door in order to give Maura some peace! They all promised to come back later to another visit. Soon afterwards, Frankie and Nina Rizzoli arrived.

"I think that's a wonderful name for her." Frankie told Maura as he and Nina learned of their niece's name.

"Faith, it suits her." Nina said while sitting on the edge of the bed beside her sister-in-law, tightening the embracing arms around her.

Jane and Maura had talked about baby names for a boy and a girl for months once they found out they were going to be parents. Joseph Lucas for a boy and Faith Alexandra for the girl. Well, they got their Faith. There was a small knock on the door and a nurse pushed it open with Jane walking in with Faith cradled in her arms.

"It's feeding time!" Jane announced. "So, the nurse let me bring her to you, sweetie." The brunette gently placed the baby into Maura's arms.

Nina and Frankie exchanged smiles. "Who would've thought that you two would tie the knot and have a baby all in one year!" Frankie remarked.

"It's a long story." Jane stated dismissively, watching her daughter open and then closing her mouth, frowning when all she got was air, making Jane laugh.

"Who would have expected it?" Maura said, knowing precisely what her baby girl wanted.

"I did." Nina and Frankie said simultaneously, causing everyone in the room to laugh.

"She's so beautiful, guys!" Nina spoke, cooing quietly at the now fussy baby while softly touching the tiny fingers.

"I think we should have one, Nina." Frankie said firmly, standing behind his wife.

Nina grinned back at him. "All right, how about in seven months?" She chuckled as Frankie's brown eyes widened and all eyes were on her smiling face. The younger Rizzoli looked wishful.

"You mean... we're-?"

"Yes." Nina confirmed.

"Congratulations!" Jane said giving Frankie a hug while squeezing Nina's hand, who then bent to give her goddaughter a kiss on the forehead. Baby Faith made a low cry, letting Mommy know she was still hungry.

"Ma is really going to be over the moon about this!" Jane enthusiastically stated. Angela Rizzoli Cavanaugh always wanted grandchildren, now she was getting them threefold!

"Now let's go so Maura can feed Faith!" Nina stood up and took her husband by the shoulders. "And we can discuss it without disturbing mother and child." She led him out of the room after saying their good-byes.

Jane helped Maura prepare to feed their child, who was whining to be fed. Once the tiny mouth attached to one rosy nipple, the detective stood back and watched her daughter take her meal.

"Man, she's really hungry, isn't she?" Jane asked.

"She'd always ready for a meal!" Maura said fondly, looking down at the little dark headed girl while she sucked. "She gets that from you!"

"Why does she have to get the bad stuff from me?" The brunette asked, as the baby's tiny fist held on tightly to one of her fingers. "She's got a good grip!" Jane added with a laugh, trying to pull her finger free.

In a few minutes, Maura detached the baby's mouth from her nipple at the requisite time to transfer her to the other breast. The infant immediately released a loud scream, enraged for having her meal taken away. She only quieted down as the other rosy tipped nipple entered into her waiting mouth.

Jane gingerly bent over to kiss her daughter's cute little cheek while also brushing her own cheek against Maura's soft breast. She heard as well as felt the gasp and shiver that went through her wife's body. Funny how she could turn the doc on from just this simple act.

"How long do you go on breast feeding her?" Jane asked, kissing her soft flesh.

Maura moaned, loving Jane's soft lips on her skin. "Well into her first year," she answered. "Why?"

"Because I was just wondering what it tastes like!" Jane stated huskily.

Slowly she took Maura's free nipple into her hot mouth and sucked hard, coaxing the milk to flow again! Maura gasped, then moaned at the sensations Jane was evoking inside her! She lifted her free hand to stroke the long, curly hair. The feel of her mouth around the blonde's nipple pricked her skin. Once Jane's mouth was fill with Maura's milk, she pulled back.

"Sweet!" she moaned when lifting her head. "I knew you were made of sugar and spice and everything nice!" The security specialist said teasingly, taking Maura's lips into her own in a passionate kiss.

Dr. Isles felt the answering stab of desire deep inside of her! However, she knew that it would be a while before they could physically make love again, but the feeling of Jane warmed her all over!

Nestling closely, the detective knew what she was thinking and whispered. "I love you, Mrs. Maura Isles-Rizzoli." Then and there, Jane Rizzoli truly knew that she had found "Someone to Love" who truly loved her back!
