-This oneshot takes place after the events of 4x6 in my version!-

•••

The coldness hit her as soon as the front door opened. The familiar smell filling her nose. This is home;being in this house is now her home.

She looked around at all the objects that were still left in the same spot untouched like always. She glimpsed inside the kitchen for a quick second and was surprised to see different pots sitting on the drying rack knowing that he at least had been cooking.

"Andy" Robert said from behind her, breaking her from her trance.

"Oh sorry" Andy said apologetically trying to take her big duffel from him but soon noticed he wasn't giving in to pass it to her.

"It's fine babe. What's wrong?" he asked, noticing her pale look.

Andy looked around once more and ran her hand against the couch and then looked up at him and smiled.

"Nothing is wrong Robert I'm just glad to be back here with you." she replied leaning up to give him a kiss.

"Today's been a long and tiring day so how about we head upstairs and take showers and then order in and sip on some wine and talk for a little" Robert said softly against her ear making her body run warm.

Andy then moved away from him and ran upstairs and into their bedroom collapsing against their neatly made up king sized bed and inhaled the familiar scent of fresh laundry soap that she loved oh so much.

"Andrea seriously;no outside clothes on the bed" Robert whined dropping their overnight bags by their closet.

She quickly sat up and got off the bed knowing she too didn't like that then went into their bathroom and started up the shower and pulled out two new towels and washcloths and began undressing himself.

"Whoa okay mr hot stuff" she gasped walking into the bathroom.

"My body is taking away your breath like that" he whispered seductively.

Before Andy could even say anything he went into the shower and closed the door behind him leaving Andy there standing in front of the mirror trying to recover. She looked around the bathroom noticing a couple of new decorations in there and seeing that he refilled all of her toiletries.

"You know you didn't have to do what you did. I could've gotten it for myself eventually" Andy stated coming in behind him.

"Well when you have nothing else to do besides wait around for your beautiful wife to come back home;you do stuff like that besides Andy it's just shampoo and conditioner and body soap and those makeup wipes you love along with some extra gifts that I have waiting for you in the closet."

Andy laughed at that and began washing her body and her hair. After their joint shower they changed into something comfy and began unpacking their bag.

"That's a lot of stuff,I didn't even notice you took all of that with you." Robert said looking over to Andy who had a pile of clothes sitting out from her bag.

"Well after the mention of our 90 day separation I just thought to bring almost enough of everything seeing that I knew you would stay here and since I now live here too I didn't want to run into you or nothing." Andy said folding up the cleaned clothes and bringing it back over to her dresser.

Robert watched her in silence not knowing how to bring out the long awaited conversation that he's been holding in. Instead of waiting like a statue he went downstairs and took the food from the delivery carrier and went into the kitchen.

He dished out two plates of food and grabbed two wine glasses and a bottle of white wine from the fridge and brought it upstairs.

"Ready to eat love" Robert said, putting the plates on his nightstand and handing her the rest.

"Smells nice, I haven't had Chinese in a while or a date night actually" Andy stated suddenly remembering her choices of meals during their separation.

Robert noticed her change in expression but once again decided against bringing it up at this moment.

"So tell me what happened after I dropped you home after you were discharged?" Andy said, starting the conversation.

"Well I made myself a protein shake and then I came upstairs with caution to take a shower of which I kind of struggled with but it wasn't excruciating painful like before and after that I sat in bed read a book, looked at pictures of us, remembering my life and wondering if I was even going to have a job after recovery." he answered truthfully avoiding eye contact with Andy.

"I wish I could've helped you with your recovery process."

Robert released a deep sigh trying not to relieve the empty moments of her not being there since they both already moved on and forgave each other from it.

"Andy I promise I was fine, I took my medicine, I did my meetings and I did my daily workout stretches. I could walk you know?" he stated which made Andy realize he didn't want to talk anymore on this.

"Yes Robert but I know you even though we've been together for a pretty short time I know you. You can have pain and not show it you're good at that and I know that going from here to the bathroom or even maybe downstairs could've been uncomfortable so that's why I am asking but sure we'll drop this" Andy said sipping her wine.

"Andy I know you're trying but this whole thing isn't easy to talk openly about especially with the way of how it went down." Robert said, finishing the last bite of his meal.

"Sweetheart you don't have to hide your feelings from me. You can shout,curse,cry, do anything you please when you're around me and I'll be here I won't run away"

Robert already knew this though. He knew Andy was a good confident and he knew that if someone needed help she would be quick to offer but still at moments he knew that he could be closed off and that was simply just in his nature.

"I'm fine now and I was fine when I left the hospital." He said ending the conversation because all in all that was the truth. He was better after he left then when he went in and he had little to no discomfort.

"Can we talk about you now?" he asked, itching to know what she did over the lost time.

"Well since I still had shift and didn't see it fit to stay in a hotel,I stayed in my bunk of which I hid out in when I wasn't on shift and I sat there looking at pictures of my dad and Ryan and of us. I also watched a lot of movies and tv shows on my laptop and I ate a ton of crappy cereal, protein shakes and canned fruits and veggies that I had brought from the grocery store and of course group meals and TV to think of it I was a complete mess" Andy said pausing shortly and laughing.

"Did anyone notice you staying there?" Robert asked.

"I don't know. If they did they just never said anything about it except Maya but that was just recently. Can I just say that staying in a firehouse isn't an ideal place to meditate,shower, or sleep."

Robert looked over at her and noticed she was just staring up into the ceiling telling him all of her late night stories and some of the calls they went on and how she even picked up shift one night with C shift.

"You know you could've sneaked up to my old office. It's pretty peaceful up there and it's currently available." He responded snuggling closer into her.

"I did just fine Robert. I'm grateful for everything because it could've been nothing."She said kissing him.

They sat in silence for a short minute before Robert got up and went into the closet and took out a big black gift bag with a huge red bow on the front of it.

"This is for you and it's a collection of things I did while I was both in the hospital and here at home. It might take some time to read through but I hope you read it well and don't take it to the station or leave it in your locker because well it's a lot of private things" He stated which caused Andy to raise her eyebrows up at him.

"No, no not that kind of private. I meant it in a way of like cheesy heartfelt things that were funny to me"

Andy started laughing,secretly hoping that her husband wrote her a bunch of sexy love stories. She opened up the bag and pulled out a journal type book, a relationship card game, an adult coloring book with color pencils, a few paintings and a bunch of cards.

"I love everything and I can't wait to do quarantine activities with you after shifts since we are still in a global pandemic" Andy stated running her hand against his cheek and smiling.

Andy sat there reading through each card tearing up at some while laughing at others giving Robert sudden glances every once in a while. When she finished reading them through she placed them all into the bottom draw of her nightstand.

"Your paintings are so beautiful"

"Don't say something that's not true. That was just created out of boredom"

"I'm going to put the small one in my locker tomorrow and you're going to hear all about the attention your fine work of art gets." she stated turning off the lights and snuggling back into bed with him.

"I missed you so much," he mumbled against her neck.

"I missed your nice and firm body, I missed sleeping next to this luscious view, I most definitely missed this bed where all of the dirty filthy magic happens. Mayas house was good for those few days but this is home." she said lying against his chest.

"This is home;we're complete again" Robert said, lifting her face up to meet his eyes.

"We're complete again" Andy responded, laying back down and falling asleep in his warm embrace.
