My New Assistant

"I saw Arizona today." Maya said as she ate her lunch with Carina while Gio was helping Vic with some office stuff.

"I didn't even know she was here... What did she say?" Carina said looking up at Maya.

"She asked me how our relationship was going and I asked her if she was really that desperate to get you back. At first she played stupid but then she asked that if I was sure you loved me I shouldn't be insecure." Maya said with her head down.

Carina was pissed. Arizona had no right to be talking to Maya especially talking about thire relationship.

"Bambina... You know I love you and you know how much I love you... When Arizona was here and she had kissed me in my office she told me she missed me and how she regretted that she had left me... I told her I was happy that she did because if she didn't I wouldn't have the life I have with you now. What we have amore is magical and I wouldn't trade if for anything or anyone." Carina said holding Maya's hand making Maya smile.

"I know and I'm not worried about you doing anything with her it's just... I hate how persistent she is. She can't just take no for an answer and that..." Maya said already getting annoyed.

"Irritates you?" Carina said with a smile.

"So much that all I want to do is wipe that stupid smile off her face... I know it shouldn't let it get to me but she already kissed you once..." Maya said taking a deep breath.

"I'd be concerned if you didn't feel a certain way when Arizona is around me." Carina said making smile.

When they got home Carina started preparing dinner while Maya and Gio went to Maya's place to pick up some more of her clothes since she would be spending the night with Carina again.

"Maya... Do you and mamma have to be married for you to live with us?" Gio asked as she put Maya's shirt in her bag.

"Not necessarily babygirl. Why?" Maya said as she looked up at Gio.

"Because you should live with us. I mean if you are going to marry mamma then you can live with us right?" Gio asked looking up at Maya with a smile.

"I can...Maybe soon." Maya said as she gave Gio a wink.

"Why not today? You already sleep there everyday you just have to bring all your clothes over. Maybe if you come live with us you and mamma can get married sooner." Gio Said making Maya laugh.

"Me and mamma have to talk about it before we do anything like that babygirl. I promise I'll talk to mamma about it though ok?" Maya said looking at Gio who nodded excitedly.

Back at home Carina was just finishing up plating dinner when Gabriella walked in to the kitchen.

"I'll tell Andrew tonight when I see him." Gabriella standing next to Carina.

"Look Gabi I didn't want to push you to do it but he needs to know." Carina said looking at Gabriella.

"I know which is why I decided to tell him. He should know at least that I'm getting an abortion. I realized that I was being stubborn without wanting to be so I told him I needed to talk to him  about something important tonight." Gabriella said looking down at her hands before Carina pulled her into a hug.

"If you need me to be there with you when you tell him let me know? I'm sure Maya wouldn't mind staying with Gio." Carina offered.

"No it's ok. I'll let you know what happens after." Gabriella said giving Carina a slight smile.

"Ok I'll keep my phone near just in case you need anything."  Carina said before they heard the front door open.

"Mamma! I helped Maya pack her clothes." Gio said as she ran up to Carina with Maya right behind her.
