Maya had been wrestling with the twins for twenty chaotic minutes trying to get them ready for nursery. They ran around laughing, underwear on their heads and shirts as capes. Maya, though frustrated, couldn't help but smile and snap a few photos, sending them to Andy. Eventually, she convinced them to dress properly.
Later at the station, Maya slumped onto a desk, exhausted but smiling. Andy, curious about the sudden shift in mood, checked her phone and melted at the superhero photo. Before they could chat more, the sirens blared and they rushed to a call.
After the shift, Maya cleaned up, picked up the boys, and headed to the hospital to get Rustle's cast removed—hoping, but not expecting, to see Carina. To her surprise, Carina was the one waiting to help. Though not an orthopaedic doctor, she explained she was trained in general practice and could remove the cast safely.
Maya, Max, and Carina comforted Rustle through the process. When it was done, he declared his arm sweaty and gross, prompting laughter from both women. As they wrapped up, Maya thanked Carina, who teased that hospital appointments were just an excuse to see her.
With a blush and a smile, Maya invited Carina to stop by the station sometime. As they left, Carina handed superhero stickers to both boys—prompting excited cheers of "Superheroes!" and leaving Maya's heart full.
