the hospital

But I love you so deeply, with such incredible strength that, despite my illness, I will find a way to come back to you, I promise you that.

-"bambina hurry, we're gonna be late" Carina was in the hallway. She wasn't usually the one to be early.

-"But I hate going to this hospital."

- "I work there, I remind you..."

- "that's really the only advantage I see for going there"

- "don't pout!"

- "do we really have to?"

- "yes..."

- "I don't like needles and all that goes with it..." Said she as she came into the hallway finally dressed, wearing jeans, her navy blue bombers, a khaki tank top underneath and her sneakers.

-"I feel like I have a vision..." She did, trapping her lip with her teeth.

- "I don't like doctors."

- "Okay..." Said she pretending to be offended.

-"You're the only doctor I like" she said as she came closer to kiss her.

-"You're making up for it..." She replied as she tilted her head and pulled her back just as early, before their lips touched, slapping her wife's buttocks with her palm to get her to move forward and through the doorway.

The drive to Grey Sloan was quiet enough. It had been a year since Maya had avoided the floors of the hospital, just coming to the emergency room, not even coming to see her wife at work, and only going up when necessary, like today. She had spent enough time in the hospital to last a lifetime.

-"For someone who works in the medical field you are anything but brave when it comes to yourself."

- "I don't understand how you can stay working here... Andrea, then me for months, then a second time, then ..."

- "this hospital didn't take away the love of my life... And I miss you... I loved it when you came to see me... Before... And I don't just mean before your coma... I hope you get over your fear of Grey Sloan... Eventually."

- "I'm not afraid of the Grey Sloan!" she said as if her wife had said the stupidest thing in the world.

- "so you mean your heart's not pounding, your hands aren't sweaty...."

- "it's my wife's beauty that triggers all these reactions"

- "Maya..." She made her wife understand that she was not in humor mode, but she was trying to talk seriously with her.

-"Carina..." she answered in the same tone, accentuating the tone a little more.

- "Today is important"

- "yes I know..."

- "we're finally going to know if the treatment worked... If all these injections have served a purpose, all these medical appointments, these hours of panic... The fights and the fatigue... Today we're going to be fixed."

- "what if... What if... It didn't work?"

- "what if it did?"

- "I don't know if I'm ready... I'm scared."

-"Maya, you know that no matter what happens, I will always love you? Without or with..."

- "always?"
