Cop Cuties (chenford/the rookie) stories

Babysitters❤️pt.2

AN: i have no fucking clue how old the kids are so let's say Sadie is almost one and Jack is 2 ish maybe 3. Don't come at me because i don't care.

Kids were infact NOT easier when they couldn't run away from you in the station. Turns out they could do a lot worse things. Like, throw blueberries at you. Or scream, for hours, for absolutely no reason. OR (and this was personally Lucy's least favorite) they could shit in you. Projectile shit. While you were changing their diapers. And no matter how much you coddle them, or how many extra paw patrol episodes you say yes to, they just seem to fucking hate you.

"We're pretty good at this?" Tim asked, while wiping some carrot baby food off of his henley. (Sadie had decided she would rather go full hulk mode than eat it). "You jinxed us babe!"

Lucy looked up at him angrily, storm clouds in her eyes. Lucy had not just gotten carrot food on her shirt, it was also in her hair, on her face and all over her hands. "Don't make me hurt you," The three hours of sleep she had gotten, along with the mess, had brought her from happy and loving to pissed and plotting his murder. He raised his hands in the air and turned back to cleaning up the mess in the kitchen. There seemed to be cheerios everywhere, in places cheerios shouldn't be. Like, his socks. Why were there cheerios in his socks???

Lucy bent back down to Sadie, who was wailing in her high chair. "come on sadie, please eat your dinner," she wiggled the spoon of orange goop towards Sadie's mouth. "here comes the airplane!" Sadie just screamed and thrashed her head away.

Tim couldn't help it, he wiped his finger in the carrot food and squatted down next to Lucy. Facing Sadie, he looked the baby dead in the eyes, and licked the carrot food off. Oh my god.
He had meant it as like a 'show em how it's done' thing, but instead he just commiserated with the poor baby. He gagged, turning to the sink and slamming the water on. He stuck his mouth into the stream to rinse it out of his mouth. Lucy, was bellowing laughing.

"Oh my god Tim," She said, bringing her hand to her mouth. It felt good to see her smile again, it had been a LONG three days since Angela and Wesley had left.

"God, we feed KOJO better than that," He said, retching. It was the grossest thing he had ever tasted. Worse than mushrooms, somehow. He turned to the fridge and slammed it open, then the freezer. After some digging, he found a little tub of vanilla ice cream. He dug around in the drawers for a spoon, and put the tiniest amount on it. "Sadie, i don't blame you for flipping out," He held the spoon out to her, and gave three baby the tiniest taste of ice cream.

Lucy was still laughing. "genius," she said.

Sadie seemed to like the ice cream, because she stopped screaming. Jack on the other hand, was screaming still. He was sitting on the couch in the living room, in front of the TV. "I got Sadie," Tim said, and Lucy took off to go deal with Jack.

She climbed on the couch next to him, and clicked the TV on. "Movie night?" she asked, and he crawled up next to her, laying his head on her lap. She pulled a blanket up over them, and clicked on the paw patrol movie. The screaming had ceased, thank god.

"Who's your favorite?" Tim asked, climbing in next to Lucy. He held Sadie in his arms, and he had a little bowl of blueberries. 'Thank you' she mouthed to him and he nodded.

Jack looked up at him "Marshall,"

"The firefighter?" Tim asked. Shocked.

"what about chase?" Lucy asked. She was pushing it but, LAPD vs LAFD beef ran deep, and there was no way her makeshift nephew would be a traitor!

"cop dog like mommy," Jack said, and Tim and Lucy smiled. "But Marshall red, I love red!" Lucy smiled, also Jackson's favorite color.

"Chase wears blue, like blueberries!" Tim said, still hopeful.

Jack frowned. "Shhhh movie time,"

"Right, sorry buddy,"

All was calm, finally, and the second that the dogs were on screen, dealing with random catastrophes... Lucy was out cold. Tim smiled, and pulled out his phone, snapping a pick to text Angela.

Tim-This kid likes the firefighter dog 😔 Otherwise, all is well.
Angela-I know, Bailey did that when she and John were over. Still mad! Also, cute pic! Lucy looks exausted though!
Tim-We both are, but honestly Lucy's amazing at this.
Angela- aweeee Timothy you love bird
Tim- ok ok,how's napa?
Angela- Amazing! You have to bring your girl up here! The wine is 🧑‍🍳💋
Angela- Maybe... good proposal spot?
Tim- Haha i'll keep it in mind
Angela- (typing...)

He slid his phone back in his pocket and grinned, he grinned while watching the stupid dog movie.
