43 and 67 for Marina please :)

Thank you for the prompts! This one is for prompt 67, I hope you like it. I seem to be falling into a pattern of writing domestic!Marina, please send help. 😜

>>>>>>>>>>

They fall into a new routine when they move into their house.

Most of it centres around Liam, of course. Six o’clock rolls around and they bathe him, a competition to see who can make him giggle more as they splash the water around him. Once he is wrapped up in his towel, they share the cuddles as the other reads him a bedtime story, before dressing him in one of his many onesies and settling him in his crib.

Their evenings are spent tidying and doing laundry and making lists – what some people would find mundane, but fills Maya with happiness that she gets to do this, when she so nearly lost it all. On the nights when there are no chores to do, they pour over the plans drawn up by their architect, choosing what kind of open plan kitchen-diner they want, whether the walls should be tiled or painted, and what kind of colour scheme they want.

Sleep is still interrupted by Liam’s night-time feed for now, although Carina is convinced he will soon start to ween himself off them. Maya is the first out of bed on the nights she is home, knowing that Carina has to carry the burden alone during her night shifts.

Liam never wakes early, a good sleeper like his mamma, and Maya doesn’t rush out of the door for an early morning run any more, knowing that the quiet hour between 6.00am and 7.00am is typically reserved for just the two of them, before Liam’s whimpers drag them out of bed.

Their mornings feel more frantic these days. Their house, nestled within a small family-orientated community on east side of Seattle, is a fifteen minute commute into the city on a good day, usually longer – not taking into account the diversion they do when Liam is spending the day with Peggy and Dayna.

Their favourite mornings are the days when their work patterns align and neither one of them has to work. They bring Liam into bed with them, watching as their comforter becomes a playground for his toys and books and music.

On days like today, when Carina is the only one of them heading to work, Maya watches from the bed as Carina sits at her new vanity unit to fix her hair and apply her make-up, with Liam on her lap as she soaks up his cuddles before she has to leave. Maya listens as Carina chats away to him in Italian, determined that he will learn her native language as he grows up. She smiles as Liam looks up at his mamma with adoration, enraptured by her voice, his little hands grasping her dark brown hair. She can’t blame him, Maya is just as enamoured by her wife.

“Amelia said she would babysit on Friday night,” Carina says, interrupting her thoughts. “I thought we could try out the new Korean place by the water, what do you think?”

“Sounds perfect,” Maya says with a smile. “Do you think she’d want to have Liam overnight too?”

A wiggle of her eyebrows tells Carina what she is thinking and she watches as Carina’s chest rumbles with laughter, eliciting a giggle from Liam too.

“Maybe next time.”

Maya intends to hold her to that. A ping from the bedside table distracts her and she reaches for her phone, pulling up a message from Andy. Her heart sinks when she reads it. The wildfires that they thought were receding have grown stronger, making their way towards Seattle with vengeance and Maya is pretty sure it will only be a couple of days before 19 is called out to assist in the efforts to contain it.

She thinks back to the wildfires in Los Angeles that they fought a few years ago. It was a time she doesn’t think of often these days: when Sullivan was captain and the team was grieving the loss of Ripley; when Andy had only just forgiven her for hooking up with Jack and Travis was in a police cell for getting into a fight at Joe’s.

When Pruitt was alive. And Dean. And Ryan.  

Before Carina, when talk of marriage and babies would have made Maya scoff and laugh, brushing it off as something that other people did.

Before she came to terms with the traumas of her past, when she believed in her father’s lesson to embrace the pain and found comfort in the clouds.

Before her priorities shifted and she realised what was truly important to her.

It feels like a lifetime ago, yet the memories remain vivid. She remembers the way her skin felt sticky and hot, and how her lungs filled with smoke, and the panic she felt when Andy and Sullivan were lost outside as the flames took over the house they were seeking shelter in. It was a time when a hero’s death didn’t scare her the way it does now, the fear of leaving Carina and Liam and the possibility of a baby growing in her wife’s belly constantly on her mind.

She shakes it off, refusing to let it plague her.

“I was going to pick up tickets for the zoo for next weekend,” she says instead. “I thought Liam might like to see the lions and tigers, since he loves watching next door’s cat so much.”

They both know he’s too young for the experience but they have a pact to make as many happy memories as possible, to fill photobooks to show him when he is older.

Carina smiles. “I love that idea.”

Maya swings her legs out of bed and pads across the room, pulling out some clean clothes from the dresser.

“I’m gonna jump in the shower before you head out.”

As she passes them, she runs her finger across Liam’s cheek, grinning when he reaches out to wrap his tiny fingers around it. She lets him hold it as she dips her head and draws Carina into a kiss, pressing her lips hard against Carina’s mouth, as if trying to leave an imprint.

“I thought I’d have another go at making lasagna for dinner,” she says when she pulls back.

“Hmm, should I tell Teddy that I’ll be sick tomorrow?” Carina teases.

Maya pokes her shoulder playfully as she pretends to be offended. “Ha ha.”

She is half way into the bathroom when Carina calls out her name, her question making Maya pause in the doorway.

“Maya? Every morning you kiss my forehead before I leave for work, why was it my lips today?”

Carina is looking at her with such softness that Maya feels her stomach flip. She doesn’t want to tell her about the wildfires, not yet; doesn’t want to burst this bubble they are living in. She gives a little shrug instead.

“Because I wanted to. Because your lips are my favourite thing to kiss.”

She looks at the small boy in Carina’s arms.

“Sorry Liam.”

He doesn’t look bothered, more interested in fitting his small fist into his mouth. When she looks up, Carina is holding out her free hand, encouraging Maya closer.

“Then you should come back and kiss them again.”

Maya’s smile widens and she complies willingly, dropping her clothes on the bed before accepting Carina’s outstretched hand, letting herself be pulled back into the cocoon of her family. She cups Carina’s face and kisses her again, feeling the soft moan that escapes from her wife as she runs her tongue over her bottom lip – another happy memory etched in her mind.

2 and 63 for Kacy please :)

Thank you for your prompts, Sam! ❤️ I wrote something that combined your two prompts, I hope you like it!

>>>>>>>>>>

The apartment is dark by the time Kate finally arrives home, the moonlight shining in from outside and glinting across the hard wooden floor, a path guiding her towards the bedroom. A heavy sigh escapes from her as she kicks off her shoes and drops her keys on the kitchen counter along with her bag, exhausted by work.

Her shoulders are full of tension and she rolls them down and back, hearing her muscles pop. It has been a long two days as her team have tried to track down a city banker who has gone missing, here on the island for a golfing vacation. It turns out he has a drug habit that led him to the not-so-nice parts of the island on the last day he was seen by his family. That kind of money pulls in favours with the brass and Kate’s team is under pressure to find him.

Her body aches for the comfort of a hot shower, her comfortable mattress, the high thread count sheets, and the warmth of her girlfriend’s body curled up against her.

But first, her stomach grumbles at her, reminding her that she skipped lunch.

She immediately notices the post-it note pinned to the refrigerator telling her that there is leftover pizza inside for her. Thank God for Lucy’s sixth sense. Kate pulls the door open, grabs the pizza box and sets it on the island. She takes a slice and is about to bite into it, when she hears the bedroom door open.

“Kate!”

The call of her name makes Kate jump, the cold pizza slipping out of her hand and falling onto the floor. She curses under her breath as she turns to see Lucy storming across the apartment, dressed only in a hoodie.

Kate’s hoodie, to be more precise, the red one she picked up at the Hyperdrome a few weeks ago. It is way too big for Lucy, swamping her tiny body and sitting just above her knees. If she wasn’t glaring at her with so much annoyance, Kate would have told her how adorable she looks. Instead, she shoots her an apologetic look.

“Sorry, did I wake you?”

“Where have you been?” Lucy demands to know.

Kate’s eyebrows quirk, a mixture of confusion and amusement.

“Uh… at work?”

Lucy huffs as she climbs up onto one of the stools on the other side of the island.

“I called you,” Lucy says. “Like, a hundred times.”

“You did? I’m sorry, Luce, I…”

“Why didn’t you answer your phone?” Lucy continues, unperturbed. “It was an emergency!”

Kate’s heart drops and she scurries around the island, spinning Lucy in her seat and looking her up and down, checking for injuries.

“An emergency?”

“Yes! I needed to tell you I loved you.”

Kate pauses, her mouth twitching. “You needed to tell me you loved me?”

“Yes,” Lucy says, like it was an obvious answer. She huffs again. “You never ignore my calls.”

“I know,” Kate says softly, tugging at the strings of the hoodie. “I’m sorry. My phone broke.”

She still remembers the look of surprise on Curtis’s face when she had launched it across the room in frustration as their investigation had stalled, the image of the missing man’s fourteen-year-old daughter haunting her.

She pushes those thoughts out of her mind, preferring to focus on her girlfriend. She hooks her finger under Lucy’s chin and lifts her face, running her thumb over Lucy’s lips.

“I love you, too.”

Kate watches as Lucy’s pout turns into a small smile, her hands sliding around Kate’s waist as she pulls her closer. Kate lowers her lips to meet Lucy’s, kissing her and feeling the tension melt from her body.

“You okay?” Lucy says when they part, picking up on Kate’s low mood.

“I…” Kate sighs, struggling to find the words. “It’s been a tough couple of days.”

Lucy responds by reaching out and taking Kate’s hand, squeezing it gently. “What can I do?”

That makes Kate smile. “Pizza and a hot shower and bed sounds pretty good right now.”

Her eyes drop, looking Lucy up and down. “And my hoodie back.”

Lucy feigns innocence. “This old thing?”

“It’s not old,” Kate points out. “And I want it back. Even if you do look cute in it.”

Lucy grins. “But I like it, it’s cosy.”

“It’s mine,” Kate points out. It has quickly become her favourite hoodie, the one she always reaches for when the temperature drops. The one she has been thinking about putting on all day.

She grimaces as Lucy reaches for a slice of pizza.

“Hey! Don’t get grease on it,” Kate says.  

Lucy’s eyes narrow playfully and she puts the pizza back into the box. “Okay.”

“Okay?” Kate is immediately suspicious of how easily she relents.

Lucy shrugs nonchalantly. “Okay.”

Kate takes a step back as she slides off the stool, watching as Lucy takes the bottom hem of the hoodie and lifts it, pulling it over her head and holding it out towards Kate.

“Here you go.”

Kate ignores the gesture, frozen to the spot as she stares at Lucy, who now stands in the middle of their apartment dressed only in a black, lacy lingerie set that Kate is pretty sure she has never seen before. Her words get caught in the back of her throat and all that escapes is a low growl.

“You okay there, darling?” Lucy asks.

“I, uh…” She shakes her head. “Oh god, how can you manage to switch from cute to sexy in under a second?”

Lucy laughs, her eyes sparkling with mischief, revelling in the way that Kate’s breath hitches when she takes a step forwards.

“How about bed, then shower, then pizza in bed?”

Kate licks her lips and nods dumbly.  

“Yeah?”

Forgetting about the pizza and her empty stomach, Kate scoops Lucy up in her arms, letting out a much-needed giggle as Lucy wraps her legs around her waist.

“Most definitely yes.”
