Wasn't expecting to see you, Captain.
Well, I heard you needed a ride.

Copy that, -L- .

ATHENA: What's this?
We wanted to celebrate
your first day back at work.
Oh, what a nice surprise.
Turns out, you were the
one with the real surprise.
You know, so much for desk duty.
I almost had a desk fall on my head.
BOBBY: All right, well,
these are almost done.
I just need to grab a
salad from the kitchen.
Uh, I got it.

ATHENA: How are you doing?
We both had a hell of a day.
Yeah, it was crazy.
I thought I knew what expect, but...
It takes its toll.
I wish I could say it gets
easier, but it doesn't.
You know, no one would fault you
if you decided to walk away.
Especially after the day you had.
You think I'm going to quit?
- That I can't hack it?
- I know you're capable.
I just hoped you come to your senses.
I know you don't understand why.
You're right. I don't.
You were looking forward to USC.
You were gonna major in
prelaw, maybe journalism.
You had plans.
Then all of a sudden...
You got hurt.
Plans changed.
(sentimental music)
I took the job because of you.
- What?
- This last year.
Dad's brain tumor, you almost dying.
Then everything else in the world?
I couldn't control any of it.
And the thought of you
going back out there
- on the streets?
- May.
I've been a cop for years.
I know how to do this job.
You do not have to worry about me.
But I do.
You take crazy risks with your life.
I'm a police officer. It
comes with the territory.
And that's why I took this job.
So when you go out there,
you'll never have to be alone again.

So what are you doing here?

I'm home.
If you still want me here.
I do.
But why now?
I mean, nothing's changed.
The world is still the same.
Yeah, but I think maybe
what needs to change is me.
You make me so happy.
You and this baby.
Maybe a little too happy because...
See, I've been so worried

I can pick him up tomorrow

Is everything okay with David?
Okay, you don't have

Okay, I know you think

Well, look, it just... it felt right.
You know, no wasting time.
That is not what I meant.
