"I love you" Carina whispered into Maya's ear before they sat down to finish their dinner.

"Fuck Carina" Bishop moaned as her wife caressed her torso after giving her morning sex. Their wedding was nearly 7 months ago now and Maya was still getting treated like a woman on her honeymoon. Carina knew just how Maya liked everything. How did she manage to bag someone who knows what gets her off, how she doesn't like certain foods on her plate touching, and who knows what kind of a day she's had depending on how she walks into the apartment. Carina was her everything before, but these last months, Maya was waiting for the other shoe to drop...and it hasn't. 

Carina lay in their bed, drifting into a sleep when Maya slipped out of bed to make Deluca breakfast. She'd even learned to cook! Since Andy and Vic got her professional cooking lessons from Carina's favourite Italian cooks as her wedding present.

"MAYA" The blondes heart dropped and she rushed back through to the bedroom, dropping the bag of flour onto the island, a white cloud showing itself in the kitchen.

"What's wrong?!?" Maya stared at Carina who was staring at her phone. 

"I GOT THE GRANT" She gleamed like Maya had never seen before. 

"You mean the half a million grant that will send our imaginary kids to Harvard??" Bishop had just as warm a feeling in her chest knowing how much Carina had wanted this. And she'd beat out every other doctor that had applied. And you know Maya loves a competition. And to be the winner.

"Yes the half a million" Deluca got out of the bed, phone loosely held in her hand, and danced silly around the room. Maya ran up behind her and danced with her. Cuddling her face into her hair in the process.

"What else comes with it?" Maya asked.

"I don't know I haven't read it all only the first line of the email" Carina laughed.

"Go read it" The fire caption unseriously scorned her wife making her laugh more.

"Okay okay mi amore" Carina let her head rest on Maya's chest as she opened her phone up again.

While the doctor squinted to read the email, Maya didn't let her eyes leave the sight of Carina's face. She just loved staring at her and thinking about how lucky she is to have this insanely smart incredible woman as hers. "I'm so proud of you."

Carina smiled, turning her head and placed a kiss to Maya's lips. "I love you" She said as her lips were still touching the blondes.

"You'll love me even more once I make breakfast" Maya took a step back and made her way back to the kitchen.

"I most definitely will" Deluca smiled before focusing back on her emails.

"Ah shit" Maya stopped and looked at the mess she'd already made before even cooking anything. Yes she might know how to cook without poisoning her wife, however cooking efficiently? she wasn't quite there yet.

"Carina breakfast" The blonde said shoving a mouthful of scrambled eggs into her mouth.

"Just a minute" Carina said unsteadily. Not that Maya noticed as she was fully indulged in her breakfast.

Her wife walked through slowly, she had acquired a blanket as it was always cold in the mornings. 

"What's wrong, where did crazy Carina go?" Maya placed her fork onto her plate.

"Maya." Carina looked down.

"What is it, do you need to fly to the moon to get the grant?" The blonde joked.
