Summary
July begins with a bang. The bang is followed by another one, and another, and another; and before Santos knows it, she is stepping into the blindly bright sunlight of a summer day, cutting across the street to the construction site, looking for a way to unplug the monstrous drill splitting the ground open and keeping her awake.
“Hey! You cannot be here” is shouted on cue only for Santos to come face to face with a Latina. The most beautiful woman she has ever laid eyes on. Who is glaring at Santos with a look vicious enough to have her lose any human ability of forming a coherent thought.
“You need to get the hell out of my site”.
Santos isn’t in the business of staying firm when spoken to by drop-dead gorgeous, condescending women. But she hasn’t been home for more than three hours after a brutal shift and so she snaps;
“I’m an R2 stuck in an ER’s night shift. What I need to do is get some fucking sleep”.
Or
Yolanda Garcia is the architect overseeing a project’s construction. Trinity Santos lives right across the street.

Summary
Yolanda stands back up, flipping over the test without hesitation. She freezes when she sees reads the result, staring down at the piece of plastic.
"What does it say?" Trinity asks nervously, standing up when she doesn't get a reply. "Yolanda? It's negative again, right?"
Yolanda shakes her head, pushing the test over the counter closer to Trinity. "No, it's not."
The two black lines are aggressively strong, and Yolanda feels as Trinity stares at it in disbelief, a mirror image of her own posture.
"Oh my god," Trinity breathes out, leaning her weight on the counter, dragging her eyes from the test up to meet Yolanda's own. "What the fuck. We're having a baby."
"Yeah, we are," she says, pulling the shorter woman in for a crushing hug, nothing filling her head except Trinity Trinity Trinity as she breathes in the green apple smell of her hair and rubs one hand over the curve of her waist.
or: five times people watched trinity and yolanda adjust to becoming parents, and one time they didn't

Summary
If Trinity thought her blood pressure had spiked when she saw the knife, the feeling that she gets when she sees Izzy in the doorway to the room Trinity had left is akin to the worst case of hypertension she's ever seen. She wouldn't be surprised if the veins in her eyes are bursting, sending ribbons of red spilling out across the whites.
Alex is beginning to speak again, his voice shaking but his tone firm and unrelenting. "I have to go—"
Trinity reaches out instinctively, unable to think about anything other than keeping Izzy out of his eyeline. "Alex! Don't—"
She doesn't see him pull out the knife. But a split second after he moves there's a sharp pain in her left arm, blood immediately welling up out of a slash across it. She presses onto it with her other hand, shying away from him in pain, her basic animal brain telling her to protect the injury.
This is the wrong move.
or: it turns out that, for trinity at least, getting stabbed makes you rethink a few things. among these things is included your ex-situationship-turned-tentative-work-friend-turned-awkward-avoidanceship (yeah, it's a mouthful. maybe quicker to just call her garcia)

Summary
In both of their defenses, it wasn't like they planned it.
Blame it on intern/R2’s brains on hour fourteen of their shift. Maybe Trinity had, the same urge to protect, god protect them that she’d had earlier that day with every other kid who ended up in this place as she sang a lullaby. Maybe it was all those farm nights, sleeping in Amy’s spare room and getting up to feed Theo a bottle. Wearing the pajamas of a dead man and holding his kid, Dennis remembered similar nights in Nebraska where everybody would pitch in with his nephew’s feedings while his sisters-in-law slept.
Maybe it was a lack of faith in the foster-care system. It wasn’t like Trinity would be able to make sure she was safe. Maybe Dennis over-empathised with whatever other soul was finding shelter in a hospital room.
But the point is, they’ve had Jane for a week.

At the end of the day shift, Baby Jane Doe is still in Paeds. Turning around halfway down the highway, Dennis Whittaker makes an unlikely choice. Funnily enough, Trinity Santos is making the same one when he gets there.
Or: Dennis, Trinity, and a baby is three.

Summary
After the shift from hell, Trinity Santos has no intention of going home alone.
So she invites Mel King out for drinks, picks the angriest karaoke song she can find, and sends Yolanda Garcia one petty photo from the bar she knows Garcia will recognize.
She does not actually expect Garcia to show up.
