"Have you lost your damn mind?"
Sitting on the hospital bed she knew she was in trouble. Lucas had been silent since he'd come into the room shortly before the doctor had come in to tell her that she was going to have to wear a brace for her knee and ankle. When the older man had left the room to get her care instructions Maya held her breath and looked at the silent blonde who was still in his uniform and hadn't said a word since coming into the room.
She watched as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath before rubbing his face with his open hands.
"Have you lost your damn mind?" He asked now looking at her.
"No I haven't. One of the kids in my class needed a coat and the only one I saw was on top of the cabinet so I climbed," she countered.
"Maya we've talked about this. You can't climb cabinets especially when you're wearing heels and it's winter and there's melted water everywhere. You could of broken something or gotten seriously hurt. It's a freakin' miracle you just over extended your knee and ankle," he countered as he helped her get off the bed.
"We have this so backwards don't we?" She asked laughing as she watched him help her put on the boots she had brought with her for the walk to and from the school.
"Are you sure you didn't hit your head because that makes no sense," he asked straightening up.
Before she could answer the nurse cane in with Maya's care instructions and left with a smile.
"I mean your the cop here so I should be getting called into the ER for you not the other way around," Maya explained as Lucas gathered their stuff and handed her her jacket.
"Well that's a weird way to look at it," Lucas commented as he wrapped an arm around Maya's waist to help her walk.
Laughing at his comment Maya and Lucas carefully walked out of the ER and took a cab bank to their shared apartment where she spent the weekend trying to convince Lucas that she could walk just fine and he didn't have to take off work and carry her around.
