The Rookie - Sister

Part 8

He carries the food into the bedroom on a tray, setting it aside on the nightstand. Tim sat on the bed next to Lucy.

Tim: "Luce, it's time to wake up. We need to get ready for work." Lucy slowly started to wake up.

Tim: "Morning baby."

Lucy: "Morning Timmy." She sat up and saw the food.

Tim: "I made breakfast, you can chose what you would like and there is no pressure to eat all of it." He passed the tray over to Lucy to allow her to choose what she wanted to eat.

Lucy: "Thank you." They eat breakfast, Lucy ate almost all of her plate. Lucy stole a pair of shorts and a hoodie of Tim's to wear. Tim puts a shirt and pants on.

Tim: "You look so much better in that than I do." Lucy smiles. They head to the station and walk in.

Angela (shouted): "LUCY!" Lucy looked over to she her sister running over to her. They hug and pull away.

Lucy: "Hey sis."

Angela: "Have you eaten? Also did Tim take care of you? If not I will kill him."

Lucy: "Ang, Tim took great care of me. He made me dinner and ensured that I ate something."

Angela: "Ok, that's good. Thanks Tim." He nods, Angela then spots a hickey on Lucy's neck.

Angela: "Omg, you guys did it didn't you?" They look at each other.

Angela: "Luce, your neck."

Tim: "Fine, we did do it. I promise to make sure that Lucy was comfortable the whole time. I never did anything that she wasn't comfortable with."

Angela: "As long as you take care of my sister then we won't have a problem." Tim nods.

Tim: "I'll let you too catch up, I'll see you later." They say bye and he leaves.

Angela: "So, you and Tim?"

Lucy: "Yeah, he's so caring under that tough persona. He was so gently and would always check on me making sure that I was okay."

Angela: "Yeah, I want you to be happy and I can already see how happy you are."

Lucy: "I'm just a little worried that he will get sick of me and leave. He'll realise that I'm just a weak girl that isn't able to care for herself."

Angela: "No, I see the way he looks at you. He isn't going to leave you, let's go and talk to him." They headed to Tim's office, Lucy held Angela's hand. Angela knocked on the door.

Tim: "Come in." They enter, and Tim saw the fear in Lucy's eyes. She had her head down so he couldn't see her emotions.

Tim: "What's wrong?"

Angela: "Luce is worried that you'll leave her once you know what's it's like to be with her." He slowly approached the girls.

Tim: "Hey Luce, like I told you last night, I'm not leaving you. I'll be by your side through everything."

Lucy: "Are you sure? You sure you want to be with someone who can't even afford her meds?"

Tim: "I'm positive, I'm staying with you."

Angela: "How's your insulin supply going?"

Lucy: "I'm almost out again."

Angela: "I'll go get some for you."

Lucy: "Ang, I know you want to help but I can't keep having you do this for me. I'll be fine."

Tim: "How about I help you pay for it?"

Lucy: "No, I couldn't ask."

Tim: "I'm not asking, I'm offering. I know we just started going out but I know that I have strong feelings for you and care about you so deeply." Lucy still didn't accept the offer and didn't want to be a burden to anyone. But, Angela and Tim both told her that it's okay for get help.

Lucy: "Okay."

Tim: "We can then talk to Grey and see if there is anything we can do to help you out." She agrees.

Angela: "Why don't you hang out here with Tim? He seems to make you feel safe when I'm not around."

Tim: "It's okay with me, but you don't have to if you don't want to."

Lucy: "Okay, I'll stay."
