As A Person Who Wears Glasses 24/7, Ive Never Related More.

As a person who wears glasses 24/7, I’ve never related more.

Reid: Isn’t it weird that we pay money to see other people?

JJ: Plane tickets?

Garcia: Concert tickets?

Emily: Prostitution?

Reid, holding up his broken frames: Glasses

DAY 2: “Are you really flirting with me right now?”

Maddie frowns and crosses her arms as she glares at the man lying in the hospital bed in front of her. “Are you serious right now, Howie? This is the second time in a week I’ve had to meet you here.”

At least Chimney has the sense to look sheepish, Buck thinks, as he silently observes his sister yelling at her boyfriend and the father of her child. “I’m sorry, okay? But it’s no big deal.”

“No big deal? Buck told me on the phone that you couldn’t move.”

Chimney turns his head to look at Buck, who immediately starts looking elsewhere to avoid his annoyed look. “Your brother exaggerates too much, okay? It’s just back spasms.”

“Okay, then you’re on bed rest for a week.”

“What? Maddie, I have to work.”

Maddie fixes him with a stern look on her face until Chimney has no choice but to relent. “Fine. For what it’s worth, you look even more gorgeous when you’re angry.”

Maddie tilts her head. “Are you really flirting with me right now?”

“Is it working?” Chimney wags his eyebrows, hoping to improve his girlfriend’s mood. Maddie thinks about it before a small smile crosses her face. 

“Sure.” She leans down to give him a kiss on the lips.

The tension diffused, Buck laughs. “Boy, my sister has you wrapped around her finger, doesn’t she, Chim? Bed rest for a whole week. I couldn’t do it.”

“Oh yeah, pal? Next time you get hurt, I’m gonna sick Protective Maddie on you.” Chimney gets a smirk. “Now that I’m going to be in bed all day anyway, maybe Nurse Maddie could really comfort me in the proper way.”

“And I’m outta here,” Buck says, not wanting to hear anymore of Chimney’s flirting. 

Chimney & Maddie laugh. “That’s a good way to get rid of him,” she says.

first of all, who let me get so emotionally invested in a television show

One of my favorites!

Day 1:

“You’ve never looked more beautiful.” 

    Maddie & Chimney were exhausted and they looked the part of new parents. Both were dressed in sweatpants, Chimney hadn’t shaved in ten days so he had a little stubble growing and there was spit-up on Maddie’s shirt. She was trying to rock their new-born daughter to sleep, a little desperation in her voice as she knew she had only two hours left to prepare for the big 118 dinner that was being hosted at the station by Bobby & Athena in honor of their daughter’s birth. 

    “Come on, my sweet girl, you want to go to sleep for Mommy, don’t you?” Maddie had told Chimney to go take a shower, so that at least one of them started getting ready. The baby continued to look up at her mother with wide brown eyes that reminded her of her father’s, and her desperation softens into adoration for the little life that her and Chimney had created.

    Maddie looks down at herself and thinks that there’s no way that Chimney would ever be attracted to her in her current state. She thinks that she should be making more of an effort to be groomed while taking care of Amelia. Her hair’s a mess, there are dark circles under her eyes and she’s wearing old t-shirt and sweatpants. But she’s just so tired all of the time. He deserves better. 

    When Chimney emerges from the shower, he spots a sleeping baby in Maddie’s arms. He frowns when he sees tears in his girlfriend’s eyes. “Maddie, what’s wrong?” He asks softly, bending down in front of her and taking her hands into his own.

    “I’m a mess, Chimney. I should be handling this better. I haven’t been to work since a few weeks before Amelia’s birth, so I know it’s putting pressure on you. And we haven’t been close to each other for weeks. I mean, how can we when I look like this?”

    “Hey,” Chimney’s voice becomes stern, as it rarely does. “You’re not allowed to think that way, okay? You really think that I’m not attracted to you, Maddie? I’m more attracted to you than I’ve ever been. I think you’ve never looked more beautiful. You know why? Because motherhood has brought out this new sense of joy in you that I’ve never seen before. And that joy and happiness on your face makes you look like the most beautiful woman in the world. 

    Yes, we haven’t been intimate in a while. But that’s because we’re taking care of our little girl. Once we become more used to our new routine, I’m sure we’ll carve out some time for each other. Alone, doing things that we can’t in front of her. But don’t think I’m holding out because I’m not attracted to you because that’s the farthest thing from the truth.”

    Maddie blinks away her tears as she looks lovingly at the man who holds her heart. “I love you so much.”

    “I love you, Maddie. And I love our baby girl.”
