"Gines, seriously, I gotta get up," Rosa groans playfully as she tries to loosen herself from Gina's embrace.

They lay together in Gina's bed in the dim light of the early morning sun.

"Roro, just stay," Gina whines. "It's still so early, and I want you here."

"Gines," Rosa groans again.

"Fine," Gina rolls her eyes. She kisses Rosa's face softly before releasing her arms from around her body.

Rosa climbs out of the bed and makes her way to Gina's bathroom.

"Linetti!" Rosa yells two minutes later, shaking Gina awake from the sleep she had just drifted back into.

"Get in here!" Rosa calls again.

Gina pulls herself out of bed and stumbles into the bathroom. Rosa glares at her as she enters.

"The hell is this, Linetti?" she grunts, pointing at a dark spot near her collarbone.

Gina blinks and takes a step closer.

"Rosa, is that a hickey?" she laughs at the realization.

"Yes, it's a fucking hickey, Gina," Rosa says sternly. "How did it get there?"

"Well, I should hope I put it there," Gina smirks, still laughing.

"Gina, be serious," Rosa grunts. "What am I supposed to do?"

"Relax, babe. I can cover it up. Let me go get my concealer," Gina responds, turning to leave.

"Gines, we don't have time for that. I need to get home."

"Roro, just stay and I can give you some clothes and drive you to work and--"

"I need to get home," Rosa repeats firmly.

"Okay," Gina sighs. "I can cover up the hickey at the precinct if you want. Downstairs bathroom?"

"Yeah, that's good. Thank you, Gines."

"Yeah. See you at work." She gives Rosa a kiss before leaving the bathroom and returning to her bed.

Later that morning, Rosa enters the restroom to see Gina admiring her own reflection.

"Hey, babe," Gina turns around. "Come here."

Rosa walks over to Gina and leans against the sink. Gina turns to get her makeup from her purse then looks back to Rosa.

"Is this mine?" Gina asks holding the material of Rosa's top between her fingers.

Rosa had taken the crimson, fitted turtleneck from Gina's apartment that morning.

"Yeah," Rosa shrugs. "I needed something that would cover the hickey. I would've asked but you were asleep."

"It's fine. It looks good on you," Gina grins, making Rosa blush.

Gina rolls down the fabric of the turtleneck and begins to conceal the blemish.

"Oh, just so we're clear, you're never giving me another hickey," Rosa says.

"We both know that's not true, Roro," Gina chuckles.

"Linetti, I'm serious."

"Can't stop me, Diaz," Gina grins.

She reaches up and tenderly kisses Rosa's jawline.

Rosa sighs softly as she leans into the familiar feeling of Gina's lips on her neck. She is swept up in the quiet surrounding her and Gina as they touch.

Suddenly, the silence falls away with the creaking of the bathroom door.

Rosa's body freezes as she breaks away from Gina and sees Amy standing across the room.

"I..." Amy says quietly, her eyes widening.

"Amy," Rosa says quickly, standing herself up.

How could they have gotten caught? Wasn't the point of using a bathroom on another floor to avoid being seen by anyone on the squad? And why was Amy there anyway?

"I'm so sorry...wait what?" Amy asks, realizing what she's seen.

"Amy, it's--"

"We're dating," Gina cuts in, a small smile on her face.

Rosa blushes and smiles sheepishly at Amy.

Amy's eyes light up. "But how did this happen?" she questions. "I thought.."

"I'm the greatest woman Rosa has ever met," Gina responds confidently. "I'm not with Milton anymore, so it just made sense."

"We've been together for two weeks," Rosa adds.

"I'm so happy for you guys!" Amy says smiling widely. She reaches out to pull Rosa and Gina into a hug.

Rosa holds a hand out, stopping Amy.

"Hold up, why are you even down here?"

"Oh..." Amy looks down. "I...think I'm pregnant. But I haven't taken a test or talked to Jake yet, so whenever I feel sick I just come down here. Could you just...not tell anyone?"

"Yeah," Rosa nods. "And don't tell anyone about our thing."

"Yeah, of course. Thank you," Amy sighs.

"And I'm happy for you. If you're pregnant. We both are," she tilts her head to Gina.
