Maya wiped her forehead as they wheeled a gurney into the hospital. "Twenty eight year old female, six months pregnant. Obvious trauma to the head and abdomen from a pile up on the freeway."
"Got it." Teddy yelled. She was covering the emergency room for Owen. "Someone page OB and Arizona Robbins." She moved over to help Maya push the gurney. "Trauma one."
Maya followed behind her, waiting until she's told to help move the woman to a hospital bed.
"On my count." Teddy said, grasping the blanket under the patient. "One, two, three."
The patient was transferred from the gurney and into the trauma exam table.
"Let's get this gurney out of here." Teddy said.
Maya grabbed the gurney and began moving it out of the room. She wasn't really concentrating on where she was going and bumped right into someone. "Oh god, I'm so sorry."
Carina smiled sweetly. "Do not be sorry. I was not looking where I was going."
"You?" Maya said.
The brunette nodded her head. "Yes, hello again."
"Hi." Maya said.
"Hello." Carina repeated. "I need to get in there and see my patient."
Maya scurried out of her way.
Carina moved into the room.
Maya watched her before jumping in surprise when her boss's voice came through her radio.
"Bishop, let's go." Sullivan said calmly.
Maya pulled her radio from her suit. "Yes, sir." She turned to leave.

Later that night Maya joined Andy and Vic at the bar across from the hospital.
"Hey." Andy said.
"Hey." Maya said, ordering a beer from Joe, the bartender.
Andy shifted beside her. "Hot doctor heading over."
"What?" Maya frowned, handing Joe the money for her drink.
"The brunette from this morning." Andy responded just before Carina reached them.
Maya looked confused for a moment then she sipped her drink.
"Hello, do you mind if I join you?" Carina asked softly from behind Maya.
"Hey. Yes, sit down." Maya said, fumbling over her words.
Smiling, Carina sat down beside her. "Thank you."
Maya smiled. "No problem."
The brunette ordered a white wine.
Maya sipped her drink.
"America is so different from Italy." Carina said after a moment.
"Is it?" Maya asked.
Nodding her head, Carina shifted slightly. "Very much so. You have words I do not understand."
"Like what?" Maya asked.
"In the shack?" Carina mumbled, meaning 'shacking up'.
Maya chuckled softly.
The brunette frowned in confusion. "Did I say it wrong?"
Maya shook her head. "It's shacking up. It means you're living with someone and having sex with them without being married."
Carina nodded her head slowly. "Thank you."
"Anything else?" Maya asked.
Carina bit her lip which Maya got distracted by. "Can I buy you a drink?"
