chapter sixteen
the dreaded morning had come, the day rosa went back to work. the couple had decided that rosa would go back first and then in a few months time, when isla was around eight months, gina would return back too.
the sergeant woke up and got ready for her day, careful not to wake the other three in the apartment. she kissed her sleeping girlfriend's forehead, 'love you gi.' she whispered before leaving the room
as she was waiting for the coffee machine to make her coffee, the latina heard a pair of feet running towards the kitchen. 'morning iggy,' rosa smiled. 'i gotta go to work soon, you want breakfast before i go?'
iggy nodded and made her way over to the cereal cupboard, handing rosa the box of frosted flakes for her to pour it into her bowl.
'milk or no milk?' rosa asked. iggy shook her head in reply. 'you want some apple juice?'
'no, momma's drink.'
'you can't have coffee princess, apple juice, pineapple juice or milk?'
'iggy want pineapple please,' she said, taking her bowl out of rosa's hands.
'go sit on the couch and i'll bring it to you okay?' iggy did as she was told, managing to put Paw Patrol on as she did. rosa finished making her coffee, then got the rest of iggy's breakfast ready and gave it to her. 'i love you ig, be good for mommy.' the latina kissed her child's cheek
'iggy love you,' she giggled before shoving cereal into her mouth

the day was going slowly for rosa. on top of missing her two girls, gina wasn't at her desk as she usually was, there were no real cases for her to work on, everyone except hitchcock, scully and holt were out in the field and she had virtually no paperwork to do. she was just sitting there for most of the morning until her lunch break finally came. as if on cue, her phone dinged
gina <3: hey
rosa smiled before replying
rosie <3: hey
gina <3: i missed you this morning
rosie <3: i've missed you all day
gina <3: aww cute, you won't have to for much longer tho
just as rosa read the message, the elevator doors opened and iggy came running over, followed by gina with isla in her arms. 'momma come to the park?'
'i gotta work princess,' the ravenette told her.
'we're not going to the park anyway, we came to drop off your lunch because i know you didn't pack anything this morning and then we're going shopping.'
rosa whispered something in iggy's ear and was met with an extremely enthusiastic 'YEH!' as a reply
'only if you're good okay?' rosa kissed the girl's cheek and stood up, sitting iggy down on her chair.
'i missed you,' gina leaned up and kissed her. 'how's work going?'
'it's not... i have literally nothing to do. i can't even look at my hot girlfriend from my desk because she hasn't been here all day.'
'i can only imagine the pain you're in,' gina joked
rosa smiled, 'i love you gi.'
'i love you too babe.' she looked down at her daughter who was spinning around on rosa's desk chair. 'you ready to go now ig?'
'iggy press the buttonnn!' she yelled as she ran over the elevator, before she decided to run back to rosa.
'you okay?'
'iggy love you,' she gave her mom a hug
'i love you too ig,' rosa picked her up and the child wrapped her arms around the woman's neck. the latina put her daughter down eventually, sitting back at her desk to eat her lunch when the three left the precinct to go shopping.
—————
'mommyyy,' iggy whined. her bottom lip was quivering and she looked like she was about to cry.
'what's the matter ig?' gina asked as she picked her up. 'did you hurt yourself?'
'where momma?' she asked, her eyelashes wet with tears.
'she's at work remember princess?' the redhead rubbed her back.
iggy put her head on gina's shoulder and began to cry into it, her mom comforting her whilst also making sure their food didn't burn
'she'll be home real soon okay?' gina said, just as the lock turned in the front door. 'i think that's her.'
'hey,' rosa called out into the apartment. 'i bought cookies and ice cream,' she wandered into the kitchen to put them away when she was stopped by the sight of iggy crying on gina's shoulder
'she just missed you loads.' gina handed the child over to rosa so that she now had her face buried into the latina's shoulder rather than the redhead's.
'i missed you too princess,' the ravenette left the kitchen and sat her daughter on her knee on the couch.
'momma not go to work anymore.'
'if i don't go to work i can't buy you ice cream or birthday presents or take you on holiday... and if i don't work, you can't go to nursery and see lucy.'
iggy hadn't been to nursery for a few months since she said she wanted to stay at home with gina while she was home, but now she could go back whenever she wanted.
'lucy?' iggy had stopped crying and was now looking at her mom. 'iggy see lucy?'
'yeh soon,' rosa smiled. 'now are you gonna eat all your food so we can make ice cream sandwiches later?' iggy nodded and smiled, wrapping her arms around rosa's neck again.
—————
the family were now sat at the table with ice cream and cookies in front of them.
'do you want vanilla or chocolate ig?' rosa asked, ice cream scoop in hand
'iggy have chocolate please,' she giggled
the sergeant scooped chocolate ice cream onto a chocolate chip cookie and topped it with another cookie before handing it to iggy on a plate
'what do you say ig?' gina asked
'please?'
'no, the other one.'
the girl thought for a second before shouting, 'THANK YOU,' when she eventually got it. the redhead smiled at her
'does isla want some ice cream?' rosa cooed at the baby. 'wait she can have ice cream right?'
'yeh, i gave ig stuff like mash and mushed up normal food when she was a little bit older than isla.'
the baby gave excited giggles from her high chair, moving her hands all around the tray in front of her.
the ravenette spooned a small amount of ice cream out into a bowl for her to feed to her daughter before scooping herself some onto a cookie whilst gina made her own ice cream sandwich.
'hey babe, what's that?' rosa asked as she pointed to the window
both gina and iggy looked away which gave rosa the opportunity to take a bite of her girlfriend's dessert.
when the pair turned back, gina just looked at rosa and laughed. 'you got it on your nose.' gina leaned over and acted like she was going to wipe it off, before grabbing the spoon out of the ice cream tub and wiping it on her nose at the last second. 'now you've definitely got it on your nose.' she laughed before her two children joined her.
'hey bab-' rosa started again before she was interrupted
'don't even try it diaz.'
'i was gonna say i love you.'
'i love you ro, i love you more with ice cream on your nose.' gina giggled.
