Lucy was sitting on the floor of her bathroom waiting for the results of the pregnancy test she just took. She kept on thinking on what she would do if it was positive. She's on her way to becoming a UC. She's in a good relationship with Tim. She keeps thinking "what will I do?". Her thoughts are interrupted by Tamara pounding on the door
Tamara: Hey! You almost done in there?
Lucy: Almost, give me another minute!
Tamara: Are you ok?
Lucy: yeah, I just need a minute!
Tamara: ok
Tamara finishes getting her backpack ready for school. The timer goes off and Lucy looks at the test. It's positive
Lucy: oh shit
She whispers to herself and Tamara comes back to the bathroom
Tamara: what was that?
Lucy: nothing
Somebody starts knocking on the door.
Tamara: I'll get it
She answers the door and sees Tim
Tamara: Your boyfriend is here!
Tim: hey Tamara
Tamara: get your girlfriend out of the bathroom cause I gotta be at school in an hour and I'm only half ready
Lucy: I'm coming!
Lucy puts the test in her purse and washes her hands and comes out of the bathroom
Tamara: finally
Tamara rushes into the bathroom
Tim: you ready to go?
Lucy: yeah, lemme just grab something to drink
She grabs a water from the fridge
Lucy: let's go. Bye Tamara!
Tamara: bye!
Tamara turns on the shower and they leave
They head over to the station and Lucy rushes over to talk to Nyla
Tim: we'll bye babe
He goes to his office for metro
Nyla: hey Chen
Lucy: hey, could I talk to you about something?
Nyla: sure
Lucy: a little more privately
Nyla: sure
They go talk in the locker rooms
Nyla: what's going on?
Lucy: I have a hypothetical question for you. So if you happened to be pregnant right before your UC career started, what would you do?
Nyla: I would keep going straight. I mean nothing really has to change until later on in your pregnancy
Lucy: ok
Nyla: why? Wait are you pregnant?
Lucy: maybe. I'm gonna make an appointment to check with the doctor for tomorrow
Nyla: did you take a test?
Lucy: three this morning. 2 were positive and one was negative
Nyla: that's a pretty good chance that you are
Lucy: yeah, but I'm just gonna go to the doctor to double check
Nyla: that's a good idea. Is that all?
Lucy: how would you tell your partner?
Nyla: flat out. That's what I did with James and Donavan
Lucy: ok. Thanks for advice
Nyla: yep. Now let's get to roll call
Lucy: yeah
They go to roll call. Lucy is on her phone for most of it trying to get an appointment setup
Grey: Chen. Can you repeat what I just said?
Lucy: you just said, Chen, can you repeat what I just said
Grey: very funny. You'll be riding with Aaron today
Lucy: got it
Grey: he can fill you up to speed. That's all for today
They all get out of the room and Aaron meets up with Lucy
Aaron: hey
Lucy: hey Aaron
Aaron: what's going on? You never space out during roll call
Lucy: nothing, just got stuff on my mind. I'm good
Aaron: ok. Well I've got today. Grey assigned me to you so I could get a partner again
Lucy: yeah I wasn't really paying attention
Aaron: well we're going up against a major drug cartel today. Half of the unit is being out on this
Lucy: ok
Aaron: did you even hear me?
Lucy: yeah I did
Aaron: seriously, what's going on?
Lucy looks up from her phone
Lucy: it doesn't concern you
Aaron: we'll of your gonna be distracted today, then we both could get killed and that thing won't be important anymore
Lucy: I'm just making a doctors appointment for tomorrow. Go load up the shop
Aaron: got it
Nyla goes over to Lucy after Aaron leaves
Nyla: hey Chen
Lucy: yeah
Nyla: I can take him for today if you need me too
Lucy: no it's fine
The front office calls Lucy down
Lucy: I wonder who that could be
Nyla: yeah
They both head down there to check it out and they see Tamara there panicking
Lucy rushes over to Tamara
Lucy: hey what's going on?
Tamara: I found something in your trash. I don't know if you know, but
Tamara hands her one of the pregnancy tests
Lucy: what were you doing in the trash?
Tamara: well you didn't hide it very well
Lucy: yeah that was on me
Tamara: so are you and Tim having a baby?
Nyla turns to look at Lucy
Lucy: I don't know yet. I mean it could just be a false positive
Nyla: Chen, you said two out of the three tests were positive
Tamara: two?
Tamara stands up
Lucy: yes two. But I made a doctors appointment for tomorrow to see
Tamara: ok. I actually didn't just come here to confront you
Lucy: ok
Tamara: I heard gunshots from a couple doors down in the apartment before I had to leave for school
Lucy: we'll get some people to look into it. You need to get to school
Tamara: yeah about that
Lucy: you can ride along with us. Me and Aaron will drop you off at college
Tamara: thanks
Tamara and Lucy head to the shop
Nyla: Chen
Lucy turns around
Nyla: I'll be here for you whatever the result is
Lucy: thanks Harper
They go to the shop
Aaron: where have you been? Oh hey Tamara
Lucy: we're dropping Tamara off at college
Aaron: what?
Lucy starts getting in the shop
Lucy: are you getting in or what?
They both get in
Aaron: so Tamara, how's college going?
Tamara: it's definitely going. I mean some of the classes are relatively easy
Aaron: that's good
Tamara: I guess. I just thought it would be more challenging
Aaron: the challenges will come soon enough. Just gotta be patient
Tamara: I get that
They get to the college
Lucy: bye T. Do you need me to pick you back up after work?
Tamara: I'm staying at a friends house tonight
Lucy: ok
Tamara gets out and starts walking towards the building. Lucy starts driving off. A boy comes running up to Tamara and hugs her from behind and they kiss
Aaron: I don't remember Tamara having a boyfriend
Lucy looks back
Lucy: yeah me either
They get a call and respond. They get back in the shop afterwards
Aaron: so how's that guy know you?
Lucy: from my undercover experiences
Aaron: and you got involved in a drug cartel?
Lucy: I didn't get into the drugs. I'm not like Isabel
Aaron: Isabel?
Lucy: Tim's ex wife. She was a UC and got too deep
Aaron: addict?
Lucy: yeah
Aaron: so what happened this morning?
Lucy: Tamara said she heard gunshots in our apartment before we left, so we're gonna go check it out
Aaron: you were a little off before that
Lucy: I was just a little distracted.
Aaron: ok
They head over to the apartment. Lucy checks her texts and sees that Tamara told her to check room 327
Lucy: we'll check out 327
Aaron: shouldn't we call for backup?
Lucy: good idea. I'll go check it out and you'll be on my six. And call for backup
Aaron calls for backup and they head over to the room number. Luv pounds on the door
Lucy: LAPD! Open up!
Lucy looks at Aaron and he nods. He kicks open the door. They see a body on the floor of the living room. They also see bloody footprints leading to the bathroom. Lucy sends a signal to Aaron to back her up
Lucy: open up!
Aaron kicks open the bathroom door
Lucy: this doesn't look good
Lucy runs over to the trash and pukes. Aaron walks up behind her
Aaron: Lucy, are you ok? You've never thrown up at a crime scene before
Lucy: there's a first time for everything. I'm gonna head back to my apartment for a second
Aaron: don't we need to wait for backup?
Lucy: it's down the hall. I'll be back in a minute
Aaron: ok
Lucy heads over to her apartment and gets sick. Aaron calls on the radio
Aaron: what's the time on backup?
Radio: eta 2 minutes
Nyla comes rushing up
Aaron: Harper
Nyla: where's Chen?
Aaron: she said she had to head over to her apartment for a minute. She puked in the trash can here
Nyla: Nolan's coming up now, wait here for him. Im gonna go check on Chen
Aaron: what's going on with Chen?
Nyla: it's not my business to tell you
Aaron: ok
Nyla heads over to Lucy's apartment and sees the door wide open. She goes inside and sees Lucy sitting on the bathroom floor
Lucy: is it too late to take you up on your offer?
Nyla: no. I'll stay with Aaron for the rest of the day. You should go to the doctor today Chen. Don't wait
Lucy: I will. Just in a minute
Nyla: I'll get Nolan to take you. He doesn't need to know anything
Lucy: Harper
Nyla: Chen. Let me help you. Let Nolan take you to the doctor
Lucy: ok. Thank you
Nyla: you need it Chen. I'll send Nolan back to you and tell Aaron the new plan
Lucy: ok
Nyla goes back to 327 and sends Nolan back to her apartment
Nolan: hey what's going on?
Lucy: can you just take me to the doctor?
Nolan: yeah of course
Nolan takes Lucy to the doctor
Nyla informs Aaron that she'll be riding with him the rest of the day
Aaron: is Chen ok?
Nyla: she just needs the rest of the day off
Aaron: ok

Back with Lucy and Nolan
They get to a clinic
Receptionist: how can I help you?
Lucy: hi I was supposed to have an appointment scheduled for tomorrow but I'd like to see the doctor today
Receptionist: your in luck. She just got done for today
Lucy: ok
The doctor comes out
Doctor: Lucy Chen?
Lucy: yeah
Doctor: follow me
Nolan gets a call so he heads out
Doctor: what seems to be the problem?
Lucy: I took a test and I just wanted to double check
Doctor: that you are pregnant?
Lucy: yes
Doctor: ok. Lie down on the bed for me please. I also need you to put this gown on
Lucy: ok
Lucy puts the gown on and lies down on the bed. The doctor checks her and hears a heartbeat
Doctor: your test is right. You are pregnant
Lucy: how far along?
Doctor: 8 weeks
Lucy: so two months?
Doctor: yes.
The doctor pulls out the vitamins
Doctor: here are the vitamins you'll need to take
Lucy: thanks
Doctor: now I can discuss with you the options that you have
Lucy: I know my decision. I'm gonna keep the baby
Doctor: ok. Your next appointment is in four weeks
Lucy: ok
Lucy heads out to the waiting room. She texts Nolan and he says he'll be back in five minutes. She sits down and goes on her phone for five minutes researching pregnancy advice. Nolan comes in with Bailey
Bailey: hey Lucy
Lucy: oh hey Bailey
Nolan: yeah her chief sent her on leave for a couple of days
Lucy: why?
Bailey: he said I needed to get some rest
Lucy: you do look kinda tired.
Bailey: you look pretty tired yourself
Lucy: that's because I am. I'm just ready to get home
Nolan: oh yeah. Let's get you home
They take her home
Bailey: are you sure you don't want us to stay?
Lucy: I'm sure. I'm probably just gonna go take a nap and relax. I probably need it to be honest
Nolan; ok. Well we're only a phone call away if you need us
Lucy: noted
Lucy goes to her apartment and locks the door behind her
Lucy: finally, all to myself
Lucy goes to her room and lies down. She scrolls on her phone looking for pregnancy tips at 8 weeks. Tamara and her boyfriend rush in
Tamara: oh my god
Jackson: yeah that rush was crazy. Who knew you could get such an adrenaline rush from that
Tamara: not me
They go to her room and start messing around. Tim comes over and starts pounding on the door
Tim: LUCY! I know your in there luc!
Lucy opens the door
Tim: what the hell?!
Tamara comes out of her room with her jacket on
Tamara: what's going on?
Tim: Lucy never came back from her call
Lucy: did Nyla not tell you?
Tim: not until I had to confront her about you not coming back
Lucy: did she tell you why?
Tim: no
Lucy: I'll tell you in my room. Go back to your room Tamara, it's all good. And your gonna need to introduce me to your boyfriend later. I saw you two together earlier when we dropped you off
Tamara: I knew you were gonna see something
Lucy: and I heard you two come in. Luckily I didn't hear anything else
Tamara: did you ever investigate the gunshots?
Lucy: we will talk about this later, but yes
Tamara; ok
Tamara goes back to her room and Tim and Lucy go to Lucy's room
Tim: what's going on?
Lucy pulls out the test from her bag
Tim: your pregnant?
Lucy: yes. Tamara found one of the tests earlier in the trash. I puked at the crime scene which is why Nyla filled in for me.
Tim: is it mine?
Lucy punches him
Lucy: who else would it be?
