Woz walked back into his office to see Gina asleep on his couch. He got down on his knees to wake her.
"Gina, babe," he let it out without thinking, "It's time to wake up. We have a job to do," he changed his tone back to a professional sound.
Regina shook her head as she slowly woke up, "Woz, was I asleep? I'm so sorry," she began hurrying to sit up, which he helped her do, steadying her.
"Don't worry about it," he shook off her apology, "You needed it. Listen, we're making an arrest tonight, are you up for some police work?" he asked, moving to sit next to her.
She nodded, "Always," before she leaned toward him, taking his hands into hers, "Are you doing ok? We haven't spoken in a while, and I've watched the world start coming down on you. You can still talk to me," she offered, her eyes tender as she looked into his, filled with confusion.
"You don't have to worry about me anymore, Gina," he answered, keeping her hands even though he knew he should let go. "Thank you, but I will figure this all out. I always do," he reassure her.
Regina nodded, "I know you do. Just don't forget that we all love you, and we're here for you too. Nothing can ever change that," she added, leaning forward to place a small kiss on his cheek. She let go of his hands, and stood grabbing her ginger ale. "I'll be waiting for the go signal," she left his office without another glance. Her defenses were weakening and she wouldn't jeopardize what he was doing for his family for her own needs.
Woz gave the signal and the entire team, he brought them back, moved into the streets to make Stahl's requested arrest.
Harlee moved next to Regina as they buckled their vests, "You shouldn't be going into these missions anymore," she whispered.
Regina shook her head, "Harlee, I'm like four weeks pregnant. I think I have a while before I have to sit out our job. The vest will protect the area you're concerned with, which I appreciate, by the way."
"I know," Harlee agreed, "But, we haven't had a baby in the unit since my Christina was born. It's exciting, especially given everything else going on. It's hard not to be protective,' she admitted.
"Thank you," Regina smiled, "I promise to listen to you, though. There will come a point when I should ease back, and I know I won't want to."
"Always stubborn," Harlee laughed, "That's what makes you and Woz so good together," she glanced his way, getting his attention inadvertently, "Someday, you two will make it work."
Woz moved closer to the women, "Are you two ready to work or do you still have gossiping that needs to be shared?" he teased, but he'd been watching their entire interaction thanks to his concern for Gina after her incident. He noticed Harlee's concern for Gina, adding to his own.
"Sorry boss," Harlee apologized, "You know how we get when we work together," she joked back, though they weren't allowed to work together because their friendship was a distraction.
He waved away their chatter, "Let's go get this guy and hope it ends our affair with Stahl."
