Unfreezing the papers

Sorry for any error. English is not our first language.

This story is the result of our imaginations about what will happen to Andy and Robert (from the Station 19 series) after episodes 05x07 and 05x08, in which Andy told that she slept with Captain Beckett and that the divorce documents are kept in the freezer at the house of Maya and Carina.


It was Andy's day off. She took advantage of her free time to visit her friends at Station 19.
Entering the door, Andy met Robert, who was sitting at the station's reception desk.

Andy: Hi Robert.
Robert: Hi Andy... hum... good see you. I was going to look for you today. We need to talk.
So, they walked to a private room.
Robert: My old boss in Montana called me. He knew about my situation here, that I lost my career and went back to being a recruit, and he told me he wanted me to rejoin his team. He needs a new Captain.
Andy: And... did you accept?
Robert: Seattle no longer has anything to give me a reason to be here. I lost my position and I lost you. There is no reason for me to refuse this offer.
Andy shifted his gaze to the window so he wouldn't let him see her disappointed expression.
Robert: Andy, I asked my lawyer to prepare the documents for the sale of my house. He asked me complete our divorce process, so that I can start a new life without pendency here in Seattle
Andy: So... it's really time for our end?!
Holding tears in the corners of her eyes, Andy began to process in her mind everything this news she had just received meant.

Before Robert could respond, the warning bell at the station rang and Robert had to go out for a call without ending the conversation.
The Captain of 19, Beckett, was walking down the hall when Robert quickly exited to the call. Then, he saw Andy alone and crying. He entered the room and said:

Beckett: Herrera, once again crying because the Fire Zaddy? I know a way to get those tears off your face real quickly.
Andy: Captain, like I told you before, we're not going to have anything else, okay? ... Please, I need to be alone. Can you come out?
Beckett: I know you're chaming ...Everyone left for the call. The dorm in my office will be a perfect place for you to de-stress.
Andy walked towards the door, ready to leave the station. She couldn't stand to hear the Captain's voice anymore, especially after the conversation she'd had with Robert a few minutes ago. She just throug: "where was my head when I slept with his man?"
But, Beckett still insisted:
Beckett: I'm waiting for you in my office. Anytime you want, just enter.
Fury consumed Andy and she needed to be harsh with him.
Andy: I already told you that I don't want to and I won't get involved with you anymore. It isn't about Robert. It is about me not wanting anything to do with you. Did you understand? Do I need to be more clear?
Andy didn't even want to hear the answer. She turned his back and walked away.

Andy returned to Maya and Carina's house, where she was living. She looked into the freezer, took a deep breath and walked over to it. She opened the door and looked at the divorce papers that were stored there. She knew the time had come to get them out of there, but she just couldn't.
She remained looking at the papers, while her mind kept thinking of allthe times they were together. Her eyes began to fill with tears and she lacked the strength to act.
The door to the house opened. It was Carina coming home from work. She saw Andy frozen in front of the freezer, while cried. Carina then took her out of there, took her to the couch and said:

Carina: You know what the frozen papers respresent, don't you?
Andy: That I'm putting off what I shoudl have done.
Carina: No. It isn't that. Freezing the papers was way you found to freeze the feeling you have for Robert. That feeling has never died, it's just paused. If that feeling no longest existed, you would not hesitate to proceed with the divorce.
Andy: But now we've truly come to the end. Robert informed me that he's moving to Montana and asked me to complete the divorce process.
Carina: And then you realized that you're going to lose him forever. And that's why you're crying in front the freezer.
Andy couldn't answer, but she looked down, thinking about everything Carina had been saying.
Carina: Andy, your look already tells you what you need to do . I was already in your place, when my visa expired and I needed to return to Italy. I can guarantee you, I don't regret having backtracked on my decision and agreed to get married. I didn't want to get married, but more than that, I didn't want to lose Maya. If necessary, step back and try to get along with the love of your life.
Andy: I need to create courage and truly open up to Robert.
The conversation between the two ended, leaving Andy's head racing even more.
She went to her bedroom. Now, in her mind, Carina's words merged with images of the frozen divorce papers and everything she'd lived with Robert.
Lost in thought, Andy heard her phone ring. On the other end of the line was Maya.
Maya: Andy, there was an accident during work.
Andy: Are you ok? Did you get hurt?
Maya: It's okay with me, but... unfortunately, Sullivan isn't okay. We're taking him to Grey Sloan.
Maya had a moment of silence trying to think of how to tell Andy what happened. But she coudn't to think of a way to break the news over phone.
Maya: Andy, meet us at Grey Sloan and... he's really serious.
Andy took her bag and left desperate towards the door. Carina worried and decided to go along.

Andy and Carina arrived at the hospital a few minutes later. At reception were Maya and Ben. So, they started to tell what happened.
Maya: We were on a call. A teenager had climbed onto the roof of his house, above the second floor. He was threatening to jump due to a fight he had had with his parents. I stayed downstairs trying to calm the parentes, Ben dispersed the curious and Robert went up to remove the boy. He was having sucess in the operation. He had already calmed the boy down and managed to get closer. But, when he went to remove him from the edge of the roof, the boy became enraged again and pushed him away.
Andy still didn't know how Robert was doing, but from her experience, she already guessed that the fall would likely have caused serious injuries . Andy's heart was pounding and she was already afraid of what she was going to hear.
And the one who continued to tell about the accident was Ben
