Chapter Text
“You what?”, Andy almost screamed in surprise at what she had just heard. Maya, Vic and her were alone at the captain’s place once Carina was at work.
“Wait, really?”, Vic’s mouth dropped
“Yes, guys”, Maya confirmed her previous words, “I want to ask Carina to marry me”
“Holly fuck”, Vic cursed still in disbelief, but soon got through it, “is it going to be in Italy? I’ve always wanted to go there, it looks so beautiful. Will you pay for our tickets?”
“Okay, hold your horses”, Maya pleaded, “I haven’t even proposed yet”
“Are you sure about this?”, Andy questioned camly, wanting to make sure her friend wasn’t jumping into something she wasn’t ready for
“I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life”, Maya confirmed with a smile
“It’s been three years already and I have never gotten used to the fact that Maya blushes every single time she talks about Carina”, Andy decided to mess with her friend a little
“Have you already thought about how you’re going to do it?”, Vic was curious
“Yes, I have everything planned out”, Maya revealed; the blonde had been thinking about it for a while now. She knew Carina was a romantic person, yet she also knew the Italian was not very fond of big, public gestures, facts that were all taken into account in Maya’s plan, “but I need you guys to keep quiet. No one else knows about this besides the three of us”
“You want me to keep a secret?”, Vic almost yelled; she wasn’t very famous for knowing how to do so, “why do you hate me?”
“Oh, you’ll be just fine, you have improved a lot and I’ll make sure you keep your mouth shut”, Andy reassured Vic, “but, Maya, if you have already planned everything and you need this to be kept a secret, why exactly are you telling us?”
“Because you’re my best friends”, Maya explained wholeheartedly, “besides, I’d literally die of anxiety if I didn’t have anyone to talk about this”
Maya walked the two other women through all her plan, she really had it all figured out. Her and Carina had talked about marriage a couple of times; however, all those conversations were superficial once the doctor didn’t want to push it once she didn’t know if Maya was ready or not. The only thing Carina didn’t know is that not only was Maya ready, she wanted it more than ever. The firefighter worked on her past traumas with such dedication, her therapy sessions were now only twice a month. She was well and she was deeply, crazily in love with an Italian woman.

“You’ve been acting so strange lately”, Carina sleeply commented with her girlfriend as they were both laying on bed, her head on Maya’s chest. The day Maya wanted to propose was getting closer and her nerves were all over the place.
“What do you mean?”, Maya tried to play it cool. In the past week, she had been trying to arrange all the details for the proposal as well as to make sure to keep it a secret.
“I don’t know”, Carina said, “you’re jumpy and umpatient”
“Impatient”, Maya corrected the other woman with a little laugh
“I’m sorry, how many languages do you speak again?”, Carina was playful yet snarky
“Hey, I tried to learn italian”, Maya defended herself, “but I’m sorry if I can’t roll my tongue in certain ways”
“Oh, I think you can roll your tongue just fine”, Carina flirted, squeezing her girlfriend’s stomach from where her hand was resting, “but seriously, is everything alright?”
“Everything is perfect”, Maya guaranteed truthfully, “now give me a goodnight kiss”
Carina did as asked, their lips connecting in a soft and tender kiss. The doctor fell asleep soon after, but Maya stayed awake. As she looked at the woman sleeping tangled to her, a small smile appeared on her lips as she thought that that would be last night they were going to sleep as girlfriends.
Hopefully.
