Maya had returned to work on September 7th. In the middle of the week. She would start with two days and take a full week the following week.

Carina made a point of accompanying her on her first day. They had brought her breakfast. Today, the B team was on duty.

As it wasn't the A team, the Italian wasn't going to stay, as she had less affinity with them. Today, Jack was still there, just long enough for Maya to do some paperwork. The next day he'd be away for the weekend.

Before leaving, the brunette spent some time with him and Maya in the blonde's office. He had the little one in his arms, explaining a little to his captain about the interventions of the last two weeks, as they hadn't been back since the time with Gabriella.

They liked to have men like Jack, Ryan or their brothers in Jordan's life, so she could have outside contacts and not just with women.

Jack had left when the alarm had sounded and Carina had stayed for another two minutes. Maya had taken her daughter to give her a hug. This would be the first time they'd been apart for so long since she'd been born. After a hug for their daughter, a hug for her wife and a kiss, the Italian had gone home.

It was the first day Carina had spent alone with their daughter. She had sorted out her things, cleaned the whole house, read five stories to Jordan and had a nap; then she looked at the clock.

Amore: I've probably never had such a productive day as today, and I look at the clock and it's only three o'clock. It's torture.

Baby: Is Jordan giving you a hard time?

Amore: she's a sweetheart... But I feel that even in thirteen years I haven't missed you as much as I do now. We literally spent six weeks together
Amore: together
Amore : together
Amore : and now I have to get used to the idea that it's over ... Until our next child.

Baby : we can do them now

Amore: we can practice...

Baby: I'll be home soon, my love.

Amore: I can't wait. And if not...
Amore : ** photos attached **

Carina had sent over thirty photos to her wife, of her and Jordan, of Jordan alone, of the two of them and Ford, of Jordan and Ford.

Baby: oh my god.
Baby: I miss you too much.
Baby: Your face is the greatest work of art in the world.
Baby: Zita is so beautiful. She looks just like you, and I'm falling more and more in love with her.
Bébé: And you... I won't even mention it.
Baby: I hope my good boy is behaving.
Baby: Now all I want to do is go home and hug you for five hours.
Baby: minimum.

When Maya came home that evening, Carina had made a table as if there were a dozen of them eating.

-"amore? Did you invite anyone?"

- "that... You see... This is when I miss my wife. It's all for you... Well, for us."

- "Reassure me, you won't be cooking for the next three days?" Maya asked, wrapping her arms around her waist.

- "That depends on how much I'm going to miss you" Carina replied, coming over to kiss her.

-"You know you're going to miss me... Very, very much..."

-"stop... Do you really think I don't know that?"

Carina had caressed her wife's cheek.

- "You really do have the most beautiful face on earth... I've missed you too in ways I'm not supposed to."
