Bishop-DeLuca One Shots

3. A Little You

A/N: Just a small take on 5x07, with some added snippets from my perspective. Enjoy!

"Mmm...I did not say that!" Maya says in protest, making the move to stand up and walk to the refrigerator.

"You did!" Carina responds back, poking her fork into some more cake from the plate.

"I did not!" Maya disagrees.

"You did!!" Carina points back, "And you did it that Maya way" then eats another strawberry.

"Maya way? What way is that??" Maya questions in amusement- opening the fridge to get the chocolate sauce.

"When things are not in order, you get all stiff- like you're trying to control every muscle in your body" the Italian says, all the while imitating the way Maya would do just that.

"What? I make that face?" Maya asks in disbelief as she watches her wife.

"Oh yes! The face is the best part!" Carina then does her best attempt of a stone cold face, "I'm Maya Bishop"

Maya begrudgingly walks back to sit herself in front of her wife again. "Oh my god...I'm gonna be the strict mom, aren't I?"

Carina laughs and nods, but only in slight agreement. The Italian knows that Maya is tough when it comes to her job, but really she's a softy on the inside.

The OB sighs in thought. "You know, I've spent my whole adult life bringing babies into the world and then watching them getting rolled away. I never get to see how they turn out, or what kind of mothers my patients will be-"

Maya tilts her head attentively, taking in her wife's words.

"I just- I just, 'welcome little one, bye-bye, have a nice life!'" the OB continues on, impersonating herself doing her day job.

Maya glances at her wife, "You want to be the one who carries..." the blonde realizes.

Carina is caught off guard, not realizing what Maya concluded was true. "We can talk about that- I know that you're an athlete, and you might want to experience...."

"No it's you" Maya quickly interjects. Saying it like it was the most obvious thing in the world that should happen.

Carina is taken a back at how quickly Maya was able to come to that decision. "And for the egg, we can do IVF-" the OB suggests, but Maya once again is quick to interject.

"Nope. It should be yours" Maya says in a definite manner as she stands up to face her wife at eye-level, looking into those brown eyes she loved so much.

Carina just sits there in disbelief but attempts to continue the conversation- wanting Maya to feel a part of the process too. But before she can get another word in, once again, Maya interrupts her, bringing both hands to hold the Italian's face.

"I want to hold a little you" Maya says sincerely.

Carina stares into her favorite pair of blue eyes, feeling her heart overwhelm with so much love at her wife's words. Never in her life did she feel more at home than she did in this very moment. Maya was her home- a home that truly cared for her and loved her unconditionally in a way she had always hoped for but never seemed to find until the blonde came into her life.

"I want them to have these eyes" Maya continues on to say softly, "and this nose" leaning in to touch her nose with the Italian's, which causes Carina to laugh bashfully at the gesture.

"And this freckle. I want to have another version of you that I can count my blessings on" the blonde tells her wife with pure honesty.

To stop herself from getting overly emotional- because god knows that she was so in love with her wife, Carina pulls Maya in for a kiss. "And I-" the OB says as she takes a breath to recollect herself. "Have some ideas..." Carina then grabs the chocolate sauce off of the table, "of some places" she then gestures towards the chocolate bottle, "to put this chocolate sauce" giving her firefighter wife a knowing smirk.
