Chapter 33

Antonio walks into the house hours later. Sienna is scrubbing the floor.

"Hallo Cinderella" He smirks at her.

"Shut up Dawson, and don't step on my floor with your dirty shoes."

"My shoes aren't dirty" He mumbles childishly but leaves her alone. He runs up the stairs to the bedroom and takes a shower. When he's done dressing in a fresh pair of jeans and a blue shirt. He goes down to the living room to find Sienna unloading the dishwasher.

"Alright, Cinderella, I'm off"

She rolls her eyes, "Call me Cinderella again and" she pauses and grabs a knife, "and I will slash your jugular with this steak knife"

He smirks, "Cinderella is violent"

Sienna warns him with her eyes as he wraps his arms around her, "I'm kidding baby, I'm kidding." He laughs, "I'm sorry I'm leaving you for the evening though"

Antonio is going out with Ethan; Connor; Matt; Kelly; Jay; Adam and Kevin. It's a boys' night out to some new club that opened up.

"I have already made cookie dough; I've rented the entire box set of The O.C; and the house is sparkling clean. I'm going to enjoy a girls' night by myself."

He pouts, "You sound so glad to be rid of me"

Sienna chuckles as she wraps her arms around his neck. "Aww honey, I don't ever want to be rid of you." She gives him a long kiss. "I love you handsome husband of mine"

He smiles cheekily, "I love you too Cinderella."

He hurries away from her, laughing loudly as she raises the knife in a fake warning, "I'm going. I'm going"

He comes back for a quick kiss and then leaves the house causing her to giggle.

Sienna spends the entire evening on the couch eating cookie dough while watching The O.C. There's a knock on the door causing her to groan. She gets out of her comfortable cocoon of her blankets and waddles over to the front door. She smiles softly at the pizza delivery man.

"That'll be $13 ma'am"

"Thank you" She hands him the money in exchange for the medium cheese pizza. Gabby appears out of the blue behind the pizza guy. He walks away a few seconds later.

"Hey sister" Gabby hugs her.

"I thought you had a shift at Molly's?"

She shrugs, "Otis and I changed shifts"

"Well come on in. I still half a bowl of cookie dough and this pizza"

She grins and the two girls get comfortable on the couch.

Their conversation leads to their history a few hours later.

"I can't believe you dated Jay" Sienna laughs as she grabs a slice of pizza. Gabby gives her a look, "I genuinely liked him"

Sienna grins like a Cheshire cat, "I'm trying to imagine you two together."

Gabby chuckles, "Did he ever say anything about me?"

"Just after they arrested than Arthur guy, Jay was undercover. I didn't hear from him until after Arthur was caught."

Gabby sighs, "That probably wasn't a good experience, hey?"

"No" Sienna sighs, "I was worried out of my mind, but hey, now I'm married to an undercover cop so I've got a little more experience"

Gabby laughs, "That is true."

"So how are things going with you and Casey now that you're back in the apartment?"

"We're better" She finishes a third slice of pizza, neither girl really cares that they're overeating on pizza and cookie dough. "The space really helped, plus Carlos is really helping us stay together."

"You should bring him by more. I miss him – Carlos, I mean. I see Matt enough" She jokes causing Sienna to laugh.

"How about babysitting tomorrow? Matt and I need one day just for ourselves before the next shift."

Sienna grins, "Sounds good. I'm working until 9 pm, but Antonio's off early. Where are you two going?"

Gabby beams, "Dinner, movie and a bit of...you know" She raises her eyebrows in a suggested manner causing Sienna to cackle. "You're the absolute worst."

"I've walked in on you and my brother more times than I wanted to see, and I'm scarred for life, so payback is just starting"

"The only reason you walk in on us is because you always unlock a lock door"

Antonio has the biggest bitch of a hangover the next morning when he wakes up.

"Hallo sunshine" Sienna grins cheekily as he groans with one eye opened.

"Lower your voice" He grumbles grabbing a pillow to put over his head. "Can you please shut the drapes?"

Sienna laughs, "Drapes are shut loser; I can't switch off the sun. Anyway, baby, I have work in three hours. You want to grab breakfast with me?"

"No" He whines, "I don't ever want to leave this bed"

"You have a shift today so you have to" She chuckles leaning down to kiss his forehead. "I'll bring you coffee and an aspirin"

He mumbles something incoherently as she walks downstairs to get him coffee and aspirin.

Antonio's still in bed by the time she gets upstairs. "Come on baby, drink the aspirin" She tells him handing him the coffee and pill.

He pouts when he's finished gulping down the medicine, "I'm off today"

"What, no?"

He nods, "Our free-time and furlough have changed. I'm off today and again on the 28th"

She frowns, "Our schedules don't match. I'm not going to have an off-day with you this month" She pouts.

Antonio completely forgets his hangover when he looks at his wife, she's not kidding right now. He walks up to her and hugs her, "It's fine baby, we can spend time together after work"

She sighs, "Yeah I guess. Will you please come to breakfast?"

Antonio gives her a small smile, "Of course" He quickly showers and dresses in jeans and a blue tight-fitting sweater.

Hand-in-hand they go for a breakfast run at Claire's Café.

He wraps his one arm around her as they eat their breakfast – waffle for Sienna and scrambled eggs and bacon for Antonio.

"This is nice" She presses a kiss to cheek, "I know you don't feel so well but thank you for having breakfast with me"

Antonio frowns as he turns her around to face her, "There's nowhere else I want to be than with my wife, alright? I'm sorry our off-days and furloughs don't match, but we are going to make the best out of our time together."

She grins and kisses him, "I love you"

He smiles, "I love you too."

Maggie's surgery is scheduled for this evening. It's been a week since she told Sienna about donating her kidney and now it's finally happening.

Sienna gets Connor to relief her for an hour before her shift ends so she can be with Maggie while the charge nurse gets her donation surgery.

She grabs Maggie's hand in hers, "You're doing a very brave thing Mags"

She smiles, "You'll be in the waiting room?"

"There's nowhere else I'd be."

**

"Sienna" Sharon smiles as she sits down next to her Trauma Chief. "You think she's making the right call?"

Sienna chuckles softly, "Maggie always makes the right call."

Sharon grins. The two wait in the living room for the surgeon to come out.

"I don't know what I'm going to do without Maggie; she's like the glue to the trauma ER"

Sharon chuckles, "Look at that, Maggie always tells me you're the heartbeat. I heard you telling April that you and Antonio's off-days don't match."

"Yeah, it sucks but it's only for this month"

"Have you guys thought of adopting?" Sharon continues to ask causing Sienna to chuckle, "Sharon Goodwin, are you asking me about my private life?"

Sharon laughs, "We're not co-workers at this moment, we're just friends waiting to hear news about our other friend."

She beams, "We haven't thought of adopting. We're both busy with work and Antonio has the gym, the right time hasn't come yet"

Sharon sighs, "The right time will never come if you don't decide it is."

Sienna looks at Sharon, "Thanks"

Sharon squeezes her shoulder, "You'll make a great mom Sienna. I can see that from a mom's perspective."

Sienna hugs Sharon, "You don't know how much that means to me."
