-"I only told the truth. Maya is my wife." 

/Flashback/

«-"he didn't really want to hear about you... But everything else was... Everything every girl ever wanted from her father. He was perfect, exemplary. Yesterday and today it was a dream come true. He was the father I always hoped for."

-"And so, what's your decision? Because if you're telling me all this, there must be a reason..."»

-"I haven't made a decision yet. But whatever that choice is, I think we both need to talk about it, I just need to think about it a bit on my own before we decide..."

- "I need you to think about something too..."

-"What?"

Carina had risen to her knees, she was naked and Maya had pulled herself up, leaning on her elbows.

- "marry me"

- "what?!" Asked the captain as she came to raise herself, leaning on her elbows.

-"Maya, I love you. I love you and I want to be your wife and you to be mine. I'm not asking you to marry me so you'll stay in Seattle or reconsider anything. I just... I love you and I want to marry you, even though we've only been together for... Five months. And if you want to go to LA, we'll go to LA... Just... Just... Marry me first. I'll become Liam's stepmother or mother in due course, but I don't want to wait for you to be my wife."

- "yes" Maya smiled, tears in her eyes, her voice trembling.

- "yes? Really?" Carina replied, smiling back, her eyes watering, with a tremolo in her voice.

- "yes amore mio, I want to become your wife" said the captain again, placing her hands on her cheeks and kissing her before leaning back so that she could lie on top of her again.

-"Wait... I've got a ring..."

- "after..."

/End of flashback/

- "wait what?!"  Vic asked.

- "we weren't going to tell you, you already had to keep it a secret that we were together... When you can't keep a secret."

- "I think I've proved that I can, on the contrary"

- "just because they both scare you" replied Travis.

- "Well, that's a very good remedy! So I would have kept them married".

- "I knew it" replied Miranda, startling the whole table.

- "And you didn't tell me?!" Ben asked.

- "professional secrecy..."

- "why did Bailey know?" Jackson asked.

- "when Maya was rushed to hospital... I had to tell her... How could I explain how serious Maya and I were, without telling her we'd gotten married... And healthcare is so expensive in this country, so if I could give my wife the benefit of the insurance I have and my advantages as a doctor at Grey Sloan... I might as well take advantage of it..."

- "wait... How long have you two been married?" Travis asked.

- "three weeks... We got married between my dad's visit and the ball... Carina has..." She had smiled.
"She asked me to marry her."

- "and nobody knows? Did you do that between yourselves?" Andy asked.

- "they had to have best man" replied Andrew, smiling.
