After a long shift, Carina entered Joe's with Amelia and Teddy and glanced around for her wife. She noticed the blonde firefighter with the rest of the station's personnel over by the pool table. Maya appeared to be in the middle of a fierce game with Andy, Vic, and Dean, while Carina stood there watching as the blonde laughed when Vic made a poor shot that completely missed the target. The three medics pushed their way through the mob to the group. Maya's big smile appeared on her lips as soon as she saw Carina approaching.
"Bambina, ciao." When they were close enough, the brunette gave her wife a brief kiss.
“Hey.” Maya placed her hands on Carina's cheeks to prevent her from pulling away and drew her in for a longer kiss. "I've been missing you," the blonde said with a smile.
"Bella, it's been less than 24 hours." Carina laughed.
"It's just. "Didn't you notice I was gone?" Maya teasingly pouted.
"Of course I did," says the speaker. The Italian gave her one last short kiss before stepping back and removing her coat, which she hung on the back of a chair at the high-top table Teddy and Amelia had claimed. "I'm going to have to make a confession." "Caution," the Italian said.
“Okay?” Maya's eyes narrowed, suspiciously.
"I required a consultation for one of my patients, and Dr. Robbins, who used to work at Grey Sloan, is the finest person for the job."
“Okay?” Maya was perplexed, unsure what the confession was about.
"There was a time when we were a thing."
"Is there something?"
"Before she came to New York, we dated for a while."
"You're collaborating with your ex?"
“Si. This morning, she arrived... I kind of... invited her out for a drink."
"Did you invite her?" Now?” Maya inquired, her brows furrowed.
“Si. Andrea is accompanying her. Is that all right?" That Italian inquired, his gaze fixed on Maya's.
"It's a little late now." From the other side of the table, Amelia scoffed. "She's already on her way here," says the narrator. The neurosurgeon looked at the couple with amusement as they both narrowed their eyes and turned to her.
"Does she know you're married now?" Maya returned her attention to Carina while ignoring Amelia.
"She is aware that I am married." Carina laughed and patted the blonde on the cheek. "Bela, you have nothing to be concerned about."
"All right, then... "I'm going to be alright." Maya mumbled something unconvincing, and Carina noticed her two friends looking suspiciously over the blonde's shoulder.
"Are you certain?"
“Yeah!” Before clearing her throat, the blonde's voice became a little higher-pitched. “Yes. "Everything is OK." Maya turned and scowled at Amelia after she laughed.
"We're simply going to get a drink," says the group. Shepherd got up and dragged Teddy over to the bar.
"It's fine," Maya admitted once they had left.
“Okay.” Carina rose to her feet and kissed the blonde on the lips. "Do you want anything?" "I'm going to fetch a glass of wine."
"Please, another beer." Carina nodded and headed to the pub with her pals. As she moved through the crowd, Maya's gaze followed her.
“Hey. "Stop looking at your wife's buttocks." Vic, who was standing behind her, called out. "Now it's your turn," says the narrator.” With a scowl back to her buddies, Maya grabbed the cue Andy was holding out for her.
"So, do you mind if Carina's ex-boyfriend joins us for a drink?" As he watched the game from his place in 19's booth, Travis inquired.
"Of certainly," she says. Maya shrugged as she took her stroke, striking the ball a little harder than she had been before her wife arrived, but she still managed to get it in the pocket.
"You're not going to be envious in the least?" Andy stated, his tone tinged with mistrust.
"I'm not the jealous kind," she says. As soon as her entire crew heard what she said, everyone burst out laughing. “What?” She tried again, but this time she just missed.
"Are you serious?" says the narrator. Travis was taken aback. "You don't think you're the sort to be envious?"
"I'm not," she says. Maya's voice had a guarded tone to it. "I've never been."
"Perhaps not until Carina showed up." Andy burst out laughing.
"You remember when Davidson on b shift didn't know Carina was your girlfriend," Travis chuckled, "you walked in on him flirting with her, and just the look on your face scared the snot out of him." Others burst out laughing.
"You tormented him for weeks, and he eventually transferred to another station." Jack went on to say.
Maya rolled her eyes and said, "He transferred because his wife obtained a job in Tacoma, not because I scared him away."
"What about the guy who asked Carina out while we were here a few months ago?" Andy inquired, a playful grin on his face.
"You were on the verge of breaking his arm!" Maya was attempting to claim she didn't remember it, and Andy exclaimed, laughing disbelievingly.
"He was inappropriately touching her!" Maya made an attempt to defend herself.
"He was leaning against the back of her chair!" Vic was adamant.
"Fine." Maya surrendered by raising her hands. "Perhaps I used to be a little..." she trailed off, unable to recall the word.
"Possessive."
"Territorial."
"Jealous."
"Protective!” Before any of her pals could say anything else, Maya stated with an exasperated expression on her face. "However, we're now married, and I'm really happy in our relationship."
"Are you trying to claim you haven't been envious since you've been married?" With a teasingly lifted eyebrow, Vic said.
"Exactly." Maya defiantly nodded her head.
"So you were absolutely cool when her previous sex companion Gabriella arrived to town a few weeks ago?" Vic's gaze was drawn to jack. "You didn't rush over to your ex-sex buddy and act envious."
"Did you tell her about it?"
"I'm sorry! I didn't intend to!" When Jack noticed his captain's expression, he swiftly moved to the other side of the table, putting some distance between him and the blonde. "I may have let slip that you had arrived, and she nearly interrogated me until I explained why." She could give the CIA a run for their money, I guarantee."
Vic burst out laughing. "You're simply a knucklehead, Gibson."
"You used to be-"
"Okay!” Maya shouted over the din, and Jack proceeded to counter-argument. "I'll admit that I'm a little envious if you people don't stop talking about it." She came close to begging.
"Fine." Vic was going to continue her mocking, and Andy wanted to put Maya out of her pain, so she said quickly. "We'll call it a day now. Now it's your turn, Miller."
Carina was having a similar conversation with her pals at the bar.
"Are you sure meeting Robbins is a good idea for Maya?" After getting their drinks, Amelia inquired as she sat on a stool.
"Yes, of course. Maya is going to be OK." Carina shook her hand and walked away.
"Oh, I'm not concerned about Maya. It's Arizona, after all. Remember when she was on the verge of breaking that guy's arm?" As she remembered that night, the doctor exclaimed with delight.
"Okay, that was a miscommunication." As she accepted her drink from the bartender, Carina heard Teddy scoff. "She isn't all horrible." She made a feeble attempt to defend her wife.
Teddy took a sip of her drink and added, "She kind of is."
"Remember when she found out I wanted you to team up with Link and me for a threesome?" She hasn't spoken to me in two weeks!"
As she reflected about those two weeks, Carina hid a faint smile under the rim of her glass. The gleam in her friend's eye caught Amelia's attention.
"Oh my god!" exclaims the speaker. the brunette burst up laughing "You enjoy it, don't you?" Maya, you like jealousy." Carina pauses for a second, her cheeks turning a slight shade of pink as she avoids her friend's stare.
"Well..." she trailed off as she sipped her wine.
"Does it have anything to do with sex?" Amelia inquired, her face lit up with anticipation. "Does she become possessive and assertive?"
"Amelia! No... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no it's…" Carina became a little agitated.
"Ha! That is, without a doubt, it. It's all about the sex. By the way, thank you for that mental image." As Carina slapped her on the arm, Amelia laughed.
"Did you purposefully invite Arizona tonight?" Teddy inquired, his brows furrowed.
"No. She wanted to catch up with everyone because it was her first night back. However, that will be a wonderful addition." With a grin on his face, the Italian said.
"You sneaky little shit, Dr. DeLuca," Amelia exclaimed. Teddy watched Arizona and Andrew walking in with Andrew and the three of them chuckled.
"Oh, they've arrived; we should get back to your wife," says one of the men. Just like Andrew and Arizona, they all walked back through the mob and found the group from 19.
When Arizona spotted Carina, she gave her a brief hug before greeting Amelia and Teddy.
"Wait a minute as I introduce you to my wife." Carina responded, smiling brightly, that it still made her ecstatically pleased.
Maya stood behind them, her back to them, as Andy fired a shot. Carina put her hand on the small of her back to grab her attention when she was behind her.
Maya turned to face her as she finished her beer and said, "Bambina." "I'd like for you to meet-"
Maya choked on her drink, and Carina was cut off. To keep herself from spitting out her beer, the fireman clasped her palm over her mouth.
*Arizona." Maya exclaimed, her eyes wide, once she'd gotten the choking under control.
"Maya Bishop," she says. Robbins replied with a tiny grin and a note of tenderness in her voice. Carina shifted her gaze between the two blondes standing in front of her.
"Are you acquainted?" She inquired, observing her wife's expression of surprise.
"I suppose you could say that." Arizona's grin morphed into a grin.
"Um, we kind of... uh, we..." Maya gave her wife a wary glance.
"The two of you..." says the narrator. Carina made a move between them.
"Oh my god," says the speaker. Amelia's voice could be heard behind her by the Italian. As Teddy and Andrew saw the whole thing unfold in front of them, the neurosurgeon stood next to them. Andrew appeared to be practically repulsed, while the two women appeared to be amused.
"Yeah." The blonde nodded, knowing she didn't need to say anything else.
"Right." Carina expressed her inability to digest the facts. This evening had taken a surprising turn.
"I've got to confess, I'm a little surprised you remember me." Maya couldn't help but chuckle as Arizona took a seat at the table, remembering how she used to be with men and women before Carina came along.
"Well, I can honestly say you're the only Arizona I've ever met; it's a name I'll never forget."
"Ah, so you just recognize me by my last name?"
"Well, maybe a few other things as well," Maya stroked the back of her neck. She kept a wary watch on her wife. Carina just stood there, wide-eyed and mouth slightly agape, watching the two of them.
"Wait a minute." Andrew took a step forward, his brow wrinkled. "Maya reminds me of my younger sister-"
"I'm older than you," she says.
"Maya is like my younger sister," he added, entirely disregarding the blonde, "and you're saying you've slept with her too?"
"Yeah, kind of." Arizona murmured, a mocking smirk on her face. "You were actually living with me at the time." Andrew's pupils dilated. "It had been about a month since I had last seen Carina. In fact, you almost collided with her. Maya snuck out of the house just as you were getting ready."
"No." Hearing this new revelation, Andrew's expression became absolutely distressed. Maya stroked Andrew on the back and tried to offer him a compassionate smile, but she couldn't help but chuckle. "I definitely need counseling now if I didn't need it before."
"I believe you made a remark about how noisy we were the next morning." It was a lie; Arizona couldn't recall Andrew saying anything the next morning, but it was entertaining to tease him.
"Do you mind if I take this?" Carina went to Teddy and snatched the drink from the blonde's grip before she could respond, gulping it down whole.
"This is fantastic." Amelia giggled as she pushed by the Italian and took a seat at the table next to Arizona. "Robbins, you're in a pretty unique situation. So, who's better in bed?" I have one essential question for you. Her chin rested in her palms as the doctor spoke.
"Ah, that's not a simple question." She was amused by Amelia's eagerness. "While Carina have the knowledge, Maya possessed the stamina." Andrew let out a groan and buried his head in his hands.
"Right now, I'd kill to be you." Amelia was yearning for more questions.
Carina moved closer to Maya, pressing her against her side and wrapping her arm over her waist. Maya couldn't stop herself from giggling. It wasn't often that she got to witness Carina's envious side. Maya never felt threatened when people flirted with the firefighter since the Italian was highly confident and not insecure in the way Maya might be. To be honest, she couldn't blame them for trying because her wife was extremely attractive.
"It's kind of backfired on you, hasn't it?" She teasingly whispered into Carina's ear. The Italian simply rolled her eyes, a smirk forming on her face.
"I just don't like it when another woman compliments my wife's endurance." Carina struggled to conceal her jealousy .
"How did you meet Maya?" says the narrator. When Carina heard Teddy's question, she suppressed another eye roll and pursed her lips. Maya's shoulders shook as the blonde next to her chuckled.
"Actually, it was right here..." Carina clinched her mouth as Arizona continued to tell her two friends about how Maya had approached her. Maya had picked up other individuals at Joe's before they met, but the pub had taken on a life of its own for them. She didn't like hearing about Maya flirting with another lady here because it was where they had met.
"This is fantastic." While Arizona continued to speak, Maya said quietly. "The men were just talking about how jealous I am and how I'd become possessive if your ex showed up, but you're the one who's jealous."
"Stay zitto," says the narrator. Carina grumbled and pressed her hand against Maya's cheek, turning the blonde to face her and kissing her hard on the lips. Carina slid her tongue over Maya's lower lip as the blonde parted her lips, and she felt the blonde grab the bottom of her blouse. Carina raised her other hand to hold the back of Maya's neck as she tilted her head and intensified the kiss. She grinned a happy smile on the blonde's as she heard her let out a faint whimper.
When Carina pulled back and saw the blonde's eyelids still closed, she smirked and kissed her on the cheek before returning her gaze to the table. Andrew's head was dangling from the table top in front of them, and the other three women were staring at the two of them. Teddy had an uneasy expression on his face, Arizona smirked and raised an eyebrow at them, and Amelia smiled brightly.
"Please don't bother us. Keep going, you guys."
"If you keep acting like this, you'll both have to start paying for my counseling." Andrew muttered as he lifted his head from the table, relieved that they had finally come to a halt.
"So, tonight, you're going to be the possessive, controlling one?" Maya coughed on her beer for the second time that night when Amelia whispered something suggestive to Carina while wriggling her brows.
For the following half hour, things stayed pretty much the same, with a lot of taunting directed not only at the pair, but also at Andrew, who was becoming increasingly uncomfortable as the night progressed. Carina also kept a careful eye on Maya throughout the night, with a touch on her thigh or an arm around her waist.
"Hey, cap!" says the narrator. Travis emerged from behind her. "Do you want to play another game?" As Vic and Andy joined them, he inquired. He didn't want to play another game of pool, but the three of them had concocted an excuse to find out what was going on with Carina's ex-boyfriend. "Hello!" says the speaker. Travis pretended to be astonished to see a new face at the table, but Maya saw right through him. "My name is Travis Montgomery, and I don't believe we've met."
"Arizona Robbins," says the narrator. Travis extended his hand to the blonde, who shook it. Then Herrera and Hughes gave their introductions.
Vic then took a step behind Maya and put her hands on her shoulders. "Sorry if Maya here is being a little... protective," Maya said, glaring at her, "she's actually a pretty sweet person... most of the time... until you get to know her really well."
"Hey!"
"Actually, Maya is being extremely pleasant." Arizona burst up laughing.
"I appreciate it." Maya replied, pulling Vic's hands away from her shoulders.
"Carina is the one you need to be concerned about." The three firefighters exchanged puzzled looks with Amelia. "It turns out your captain and Dr. Robbins spent a night together before Carina and Arizona were a thing."
"How did this happen to you again?" says the narrator" Have you slept with all of Seattle's women?" When Amelia observed Maya's affronted expression, she burst out laughing. "I'm not saying it's a negative thing; I'm just offended that I'm one of the few ladies in town who hasn't had the pleasure of spending the night with you." When Carina frowned at her and reached across the table to strike her in the shoulder, Amelia laughed even more.
"So, wait a minute, Carina is the one who is envious? Isn't it Maya?" Travis inquired as to what was going on, fully expecting to discover Maya wreaking havoc on Carina's ex. Teddy and Amelia exchanged nods. "I don't believe I've ever seen you jealous. " Vic was ecstatic.
"This isn't like that!" exclaims the narrator. Maya retorted angrily.
"Again?" Carina inquired, her brow furrowed.
"Dean brought his new girlfriend to meet us all a couple years ago," Vic recounted, "and it turned out Maya had already slept with her." With a wry grin, Carina turned to Maya.
"This isn't the same as before."
"I'm not envious at all." Carina stood up for herself. "I'm just... taken aback."
"Wow, that wasn't very convincing." Arizona said with a grin of amusement.
"It's all right. Fine. "Can we now put this out of our minds?" The Italian was almost whining.
"Yes, please come to a halt." Andrew added his two cents.
"Fine." Travis expressed his reluctance. "However, I do have one more question?" Maya and Carina both drew in a breath, expecting Travis to inquire about some shady dealings. "Do you play pool, Arizona?"
"Err, not very well," says the narrator.
"That will do. Come on." He took the blonde's hand and pulled up from the table. "Doctors Vs firefighters. Let's do this."
"Oh, you want your asses kicked again Montgomery?” Amelia said as she stood up and took her jacket off.
"Please. That was a one off, never going to happen again." He argued.
Maya and Carina stood back as the others all started their shit talking and got ready for what would be a very competitive game.
"You know, I don't think they would notice if we left now." Carina said to Maya as they watched on in amusement. Maya turned to Carina with a smirk.
"You want to take me home and show me your skills," says the narrator. As she moved closer to her wife, her tone became more abrasive.
"Only if you let me put your stamina to the test." Carina's gaze fell to Maya's lips, and she took a step forward.
"Guys! I'm now seated." Maya looked over Carina's shoulder to see Andrew still seated at the table, and they heard his disappointed groan.
"Andrew, my apologies. I didn't notice you." Andrew rolled his eyes when she failed to appear at least a bit guilty.
"Clearly. Please just leave so I don't have to hear any more." Carina seized Maya's hand in hers and snatched her coat off the back of the chair as they both dashed out the bar .
"Where are they going?" says the narrator. Teddy inquired as she watched the couple go away.
"Please don't ask that question," says the narrator. Andrew sighed with exasperation.
"Carina will show Maya who's in charge." With a grin on her face, Amelia said.
"Please, Amelia," says the narrator. "Please don't put these images in my head." Andrew sighed.
The End !
