Today was a though day for Lucy Chen. The anniversary date of Jacksons death. She and Angela was usually mostly quiet on this day every year but this was something special. It had been 5 years. 5 very long and though years without their best friend. But that also ment it had been 5 years since Angela was kidnapped so the whole Lopez-Evers house had a quiet morning too.
Tim had memorised the date ad to him it was almost as important as Lucys bithday, and the 9th of december. The days when she needed to be appreciated the most but also needed someone there for her. This was one of the days where she needed him by her side.
The morning started of by a long tight hug. Tim knew that she would really need all the comfort in the world so by starting off a hug would be nice. He had his hand on her back drawing circles. Placing a kiss on her neck every once in a while. She had her face buried in his chest slightly crying. He could feel her tears dripping on his soft skin. He never wanted to leave this safespace and neither did she, but they still needed to go to work. After more than 30 minutes of cuddling they decided to take a shower.
They left the apartment 20 minutes earlier so they would have time to stop by the graveyard and see Jackson before work. Tim had called Angela the night before and asked her to be there too. She thought if was a wonderful idea and she had also planned to see him today.
It was a beautiful morning with the sun shining making the whole sky pink. It gave kind of a Jackson vibe of it. Lucy had bought flowers in all different kinds of flowers to put by the grave. Tim had helped her pick out a card and she wrote a short life update. How she and Tim had moved on in the relationship, how much she missed him and other important matters that she would have told him if he was still alive.
They met up with Angela and talked for a while before entering the station.
T- See you in roll call?
L- Yes, see you there
Lucy and Angela walked in together and sat beside on another with Tim on the other side of Lucy. Even though Angela was a detective she usually joined them in roll call to see if she would be able to help with anything during the day. Nyla joined them sometimes too but today she had a case and needed to visit a CI in prison.
Srg. G.- Be safe out there!
L- I'll get the warbags and you bodycams?
T- Let's switch it up today. You get us coffee and I'll set up the shop including our cams.
L- Sure
Lucy went to the break room where she met Smitty sitting on the couch as usual.
L- Hey Smitty
S- Hey Chen, patrol?
L- Yes, Smitty, and that is what you should be doing right now too.
S- I'm not really a fan of doing that but if you get me a slurpee I might agree.
L- Sure, continue what you were doing and I'll see you later
She left breakroom and wandered off to their shop with two coffees in her hands.
???- LUCY CHEN!
Not that voice. She froze compleatly together with the whole station who turned their heads to see what was going on. Srg. Grey looked up from his desk to see what all the matters outside his window was about.
???- How dare you continue working in here!?!!?
L- I i- d
???- Answer me!!!
L- Look I do not have time for this right now Vanessa!
V- Don't talk to me like that!
L- Well since you disowned me I have no reason to call you mom, Vanessa.
