the ultimatum

morning before meeting Ashley

The next day Tim and Lucy and the twins were eating breakfast then tims phone started ringing.
"It's wes, I need to answer it" Tim tells Lucy picking up his phone and leaving the room.

"Hey wes" Tim answers.
"Hey man, what time is your visit tomorrow? " he asks and Tim thinks.
"9:45 in the morning" Tim answers.

"Okay. I'm booking flights for today and a hotel, it'll be so much easier than driving for hours down or getting up early hours in the morning" Wesley says.
"Should I request for half a shift?" Tim asks
"You still finish early at 4 dont you? For the twins?" Wesley asks and Tim agrees
"Yeah, me and Lucy finish at four" Tim replies:

"I'm right now booking a flight for 7:20PM, we should get there at 9:30pm tonight, I've paid extra as it's a last minute flight, and first class as there isn't any buisness class seats left, and we have a hotel room booked too. Meet me at the airport at 6 tonight" Wesley says as he books the flights.
"Have you told Angela?" Tim asks and Wesley sighs
"Nope" he replies
"And you were the one who told me to tell Lucy?" Tim scoffs and Wesley sighs.

"I'm telling her now, don't worry. I will see you at 6" Wesley replies and hangs up, Tim places the phone back in his pocket and walks into the kitchen.

"so?" Lucy asked eating a peanut butter sandwich.
"I have to meet Wesley at the airport at 6 tonight, we are going tonight as it save me getting up early hours to go" Tim explains and Lucy nods.
"okay." She replies simply.

"okay you guys, we can't be late today. So quickly get your shoes on" Tim tells the twins , they both leave to put shoes on.
"Are you okay?" Tim asks Lucy pulling her close to him, sensing something was up.
"I'm fine babe" she replies, but Tim wasn't convinced.
"what's wrong babe? Is it the baby? Is it Ashley?" Tim asks and Lucy sighs.
"No it's not Ashley..I Just have cramps, and I'm exhausted..and I feel extra nauseous but I'm fine Tim I promise don't worry about me" Lucy replies softly and Tim frowns.

"Maybe you can get checked out Lucy?" Tim asks and Lucy grabs his hand and rubs it with her thumb.
"It's fine Tim it's normal, don't stress." she replies and bringing him down for a kiss.
"if your sure..but if anything isn't right please get checked out"he replies hesitantly, Lucy rolls her eyes and sighs.
"okay we have to get to work" she replies picking up her bag and slipping on her shoes.
The twins run out and Tim chuckles
"Avalynn your shoes are on the wrong feet, what are you like?!" He laughs and bends down infront of her and helps her switch them around while Lucy helps arlo in the truck.

Avalynn and Tim now get into the truck and drop the twins off at school and head straight into work.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Tim asks Lucy and Lucy nods and winces as she gets out.

They walk in the station hand in hand then head to their respective changing rooms to change.

-

Wesley gets off the phone to Tim and books and pays for flights to san Francisco, he also pays for a hotel room.

He then heads into the living room where Angela was handing Jack a bowl of cereal.
"Hey baby" Wesley says bringing Angela in for a kiss.
"Hey" she replies kissing him back and picking her laptop up and sitting on the couch looking at wedding venues?

Wesley frowns and sits next to her.
"Why on earth are you looking at venues." Wesley frowns.
"I gave Lucy no choice to allow me to plan their wedding, so I'm planning it" Angela replies and Wesley chuckles and wraps a arm around her shoulders and looks at the laptop screen.

"hmmm what about a beach wedding?" Angela says and Wesley sighs
"I swear Tim hates the beach" Wesley mutters
"He takes the twins and Lucy all the time, it's probably one of his now favourite places" Angela shrugs.
"So he isn't a control freak anymore?" Wesley asks and Angela shakes her head
"Since he's been a dad he..he's different" she shrugs.

"He's a great dad though" Wesley states playing with a curl on Angela's head.
"He really is, them twins are so much more polite than Jack" Angela laughs and looks at Jack who was now frowning at them from across the room.

"no, jack just has Angela Lopez attitude, I wouldn't have it any other way" Wesley says kissing his wife's head.
"maybe they will like a barn wedding" Angela asks and Wesley bursts into a laugh

"Absolutely not, I can not see Tim wanting to do that" Wesley replies.
"Tim's a party pooper" Angela grumbles.
"I feel like a beach wedding is probably the best option at the minute, then we can hold the reception a hotel" Wesley suggests and Angela shuts the laptop and places it down.

"hmm I'll look into it more later, I need to speak to see what Lucy would want anyway" Angela says getting up to pick up jacks dish.
"Tim?" Wesley asks following his wife.
"who cares? Tim impregnated Lucy, she wants to get married while pregnant so one day of these 9 months going to be special for her" she says now cleaning Jack up and changing his shirt as he spilt milk all down it.

" I think we should have more consideration for Tim..it's his big day too" Wesley shrugs feeling abit guilty for Tim.
"oh well. Anyway. Why haven't you left for work?" Angela frowns and Wesley sighs.

"I've agreed to go with Tim to see Ashley, we have flights booked for tonight" Wesley says and Angela frowns.
"Okay. Has he told Lucy?" She asks and Wesley nods.
"Yeah he has" he agrees.
"I'm glad he's taking you for support. I knew he didn't want to take Lucy but I didn't want him going on his own to see the women that nearly ruined his whole life and career and the women who abused him and his kids"Angela replies now getting ready to walk out the door with Jack.

"Yeah. Well we should be back tomorrow night. I'm meeting him at the air port at 6 tonight" he says as they get into the car.
"So Lucy is getting left with the twins?" She replies as she fixes her mascara in the car mirror.

"yep" he nods as he drives in the direction of the school.
"Okay I might ask Lucy if she wants to have the kids over to mine and we drink wine" Angela says happily and Wesley frowns.
"She's pregnant" Wesley reminds Angela
"Oh shit I forgot already, I mean me, me drink wine and Lucy drinks decaf coffee" Angela chuckles.

"That sounds like a good idea actually, then you can see what kind of wedding Lucy wants" Wesley suggests.
"I know! We are geniuses Wesley!" Angela claps and Wesley laughs.
"We are geniuses because you suggested to have Lucy over to start wedding planning?" Wesley asked dumbly and Angela nodded, Wesley shook his head at his wife and laughed at her attitude.

"That man still needs to buy a ring. Wesley gets that man to buy a ring and get him to propose again. Lucy's been through hell she needs everything perfect" Angela demands her husband just as she was getting out the car to take Jack into preschool.

Wesley drops Angela off at work and he heads straight to the office.
