Chapter Two
At Maya and Carina's
"Maya? You okay?" Carina asked, seeing Maya with a frown on her face.
"Just a hard shift. Had a rough call." Maya told her wife and started to walk to their bedroom but Carina quickly stepped in front of her.
"Maya, please talk to me. I don't want you bottling anything up." Carina gently rubbed Maya's arm.
"We just had a bad call. Andy and I were on aid car and we had to deal with an abusive boyfriend. He almost hit both Andy and me when we were trying to treat the woman. He got free from the cops." Maya explained.
"Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it?" Carina asked, pulling her wife into a hug. Maya shook her head. "How about you go get changed and then we can go to bed and I'll just hold you if you'd like." Carina offered.
"I'd like that," Maya said as there was a knock on the door. Maya furrowed her eyebrows and went to open the door. She saw her best friend and her husband and was even more confused. "Andy? Sullivan? What are you guys doing here?" Maya saw that Andy was trying to hide a grin while Robert kept a straight face.
"Can we come in?" Andy asked, grin growing into a smile. Maya nodded and the couple walked into the apartment. "So, I know this is random, but we needed to talk to you and I didn't want to wait to tell you and I figured you could use some good news right now." Andy ranted before being cut off by Robert.
"What she is trying to say, Maya, is that I met with Chief McCallister today." Robert watched Maya frown. "I talked to him about giving you another chance and if you still want the position, it's yours," Robert told her, a small smile gracing his lips. Maya looked shocked. She looked from Robert to Carina to Andy.
"Are you okay with this?" Andy's smile was still on her face but it slipped when her best friend was more concerned about her.
Andy let go of Robert's hand and walked closer to Maya, placing both her hands on Maya's shoulder. Carina caught a glance at Andy's engagement ring and had to bite her lip to stop her smiling when she noticed that Robert had a ring on his left hand too.
"Maya, I promise I am okay with this," Andy looked back at Robert. "Right now I want to focus on my marriage," Andy told her and Maya raised an eyebrow. "I'm serious, Maya. I'm more than okay with having you as my captain." Andy grabbed one of Maya's hands. "You and I are going to be running 19 together someday, remember?" Maya smiled and nodded,
"Is that really why you came over here?" Maya asked, eyebrow raised. "This could've waited."
Robert walked to Andy and wrapped his left arm around Andy's shoulder and shook his head. "Andy told me you two had a rough call so she wanted to try and cheer you up," Robert said, moving his left hand around, wanting to see if Maya would notice.
Andy could tell what her husband was doing and was starting to have a hard time keeping it together, especially when Maya asked Robert about it.
"Sullivan, you okay? What's going on with your hand?" Maya asked and Andy couldn't help it anymore, she giggled and then covered her mouth with her left hand and Maya's eyes widened when she saw the diamond ring her friend was wearing. "Oh, my God." Maya walked over to her friend and grabbed her hand. "It's beautiful, Andy. Sullivan has good taste." Maya looked at Robert. "You know, most of the station may not understand yet, but I see how much you mean to Andy. Thank you for making my best friend happy again, Robert." Maya said, shocking Andy and Robert himself.
"Wow," Andy said and looked at her husband. "Babe I think you got the seal of approval with Maya using your first name." Andy joked and Maya softly swatted her arm. "Anyways, we just wanted to come by to tell you before I email the team about it. Now if you excuse us, we gotta go home and finish our talk." Andy hugged Maya and then walked out of the apartment.
