Part 3

"Tim called me and said you wanted me to come. What happened?" Angela asks Lucy. "Uh, Elle bell I'm going to talk to auntie Angela for a minute and be right back." Lucy says to Ellie. "Okay mommy." Ellie says. "So when she say Tim she freaked out because of everything with Chris." Lucy continues. "And I had Tim leave and call you to come see her while I talk to Tim about it. But I think she's okay now. I talked to her but I will ask her if she wants to meet him ofc." Lucy finishes. "Ok, you go talk to him and I'll stay." Angela says. "Ok thanks." Lucy says about to walk away.

"Hi, is Ellie awake?" A doctor asks coming towards Lucy and Angela. "Yea she is." They say. "Ok we need to do some tests then she can go home in an hour." The doctor says. "Ok no problem." Lucy says and walking into Ellie's room. "Hey baby, the doctors will take you for another test then you can go home. Auntie Angela will wait right here for you and I will come back in as soon as your back." Lucy tells Ellie. "Ok mommy. I can't wait to go home." Lucy laughs and walks out the room.

Lucy walks into the waiting room where she sees Tim. "Hey, is Ellie okay?" Tim asks. "Yea she's fine, getting one last test done. But u want to talk." Lucy says to Tim. "Ok yea ofc what's up." Tim says sitting down next to Lucy. "Well you know how I said I used to date Chris right." Lucy starts. "Yea and then you guys broke up." Tim says. "Well me and him dated for a bit and during that time he would hit me and abuse me. I never told anyone because I was scared. Then I got pregnant with Ellie." Lucy says wiping tears from her cheeks and Tim holds her hand. "He continued to abuse me throughout my pregnancy and after that it stopped for a bit. It picked right back up after we left the hospital and went in until Ellie was 3." Lucy says hiding back tears.

"She saw a lot of the abuse to me and yelling. She got yelled at sometimes too but never got hit. One day I had enough and locked myself in Ellie's room and called 911. He got life in jail and now Ellie is afraid of most men that are around me or talking to her or me. She just gets protective of me and gets scared easily." Lucy finishes fighting the urge to cry. "I'm so sorry Lucy." Tim says pulling her into his chest. "Thanks. But I'm going to try to introduce her to you if she wants so we can go see now before we go home." Lucy says reaching for Tim's hand. "Ok, sure. I would love to." Tim says grabbing Lucy's hand back.

They walk over to Ellie's room and stand outside. "Ok I will go in. You stay here and I will come get you if she says yes." Lucy says walking into Ellie's room. "Hey, Elle bell. How was your test." Lucy asks standing next to her bed. "It was like a spaceship." Ellie says. "That's so fun. Elle bell, do you feel comfortable meeting Tim now? He's outside and I can go bring him in?" Lucy asks Ellie. "Sure mommy. He makes you happy so I want to meet him." Ellie says smiling at Lucy. "Ok baby. I'll go get him. Then we can go home." Lucy says walking into the hall. "She said yes so do you want to meet her?" Lucy asks Tim. "Yea I do. If you're okay with that." Tim's says. "Ofc I am. Let's go." Lucy says grabbing Tim's hand.

"Hey, I'm heading to the station to talk to Grey. Let me know if you need anything." Angela says walking away. "See ya." Lucy and Tim say. "Ok, Ellie, this is Tim. Tim this is Ellie." Lucy says abs steps back. "Hi Ellie. It's nice to meet you." Tim says. "Hi. Nice to meet you to Tim." Ellie says and Lucy smiles. "What's so funny mommy?" Ellie says. "Yea, what's so funny Luce?" Tim says copying Ellie. "Hey, don't copy me." Ellie says. "Oh, I'm so sorry." Tim says smiling at Lucy. "I just love seeing my two favorite people getting along." Lucy says still smiling big.

"Ok Elle bell, are you ready to go home?" Lucy asks her. "Only if Tim can come too." Ellie says. "Well you'll have to ask him." Lucy says looking at Tim. "Ofc, I would love to." Tim says smiling at Ellie and Lucy. "Perfect. Let's go now. Can you go pull up your truck to the front?" Lucy says to Tim. "Yea see you in minute." Tim says. Lucy picks up Ellie and takes her downstairs to Tim's truck. Lucy puts Ellie in the car seat Tim got from Lucy'a car and put her in it. Lucy climbed in the passenger seat. "Ok, let's go." Tim says starting to drive.

"You have a really big truck Tim." Ellie says trying to look out the windows. "It's not that big." Tim says looking over at Lucy and smiling. "Well to a 5 year old, it is." Lucy says. "Exactly." Ellie says. They finally got back to Lucy's apartment and they went inside. "What would you like for dinner, miss Ellie." Tim asks. "Ummm, McDonald's." Ellie says. "Ok, what would you like." Tim asks. "I want a happy meal please." Ellie says. "I'll just have my usual. Thanks." Lucy says smiling.

"Ok, coming up." Tim says. "Elle bell, do you want to call auntie Angela and tell her your home?" Lucy asks Ellie. "Yea. Oh and mommy." Ellie says. "Yea, what's up." Lucy says holding her phone. "Tomorrow is take your child to work day and I wanted to come to your work?" Ellie says. "Ummm.. are you sure you will be comfortable?" Lucy asks Ellie. "Yea mommy, because you will be there, auntie Angela will be there, Tim will be there and Jack will be there." Ellie says.

"And who told you this?" Lucy asks knowing it was Angela. "Auntie Angela. She says she would call you and ask but I wanted to first." Ellie says. "Ok, I will talk to her after dinner." Lucy says. "Speaking of dinner. The food is here." Tim says handing out the food to Lucy and Ellie. "Thanks you." Ellie says. "Your so welcome." Tim says. "Thanks babe." Lucy says and Tim looks up at her and smiles. They all sit and eat together and then finish. "I'm so full." Ellie says. "Good, go ahead and brush your teeth and get ready for bed." Lucy says to Ellie and she runs off to the bathroom. "Your a great mom Luce." Tim says starting at Lucy. "Thanks. You will be a great dad one day too." Lucy says staring back at Tim.

They hear the bathroom door open and step away from eachother. "Ok ready for bed?" Lucy says going to open Ellie's door. "Can Tim come tuck me in too?" Ellie asks Lucy and Tim. "Ofc I can, let's go." Tim says following her into her room. "Mommy, I have a question." Ellie says leaning over to whisper to Lucy. "What is it?" Lucy ask leaning close to her. "Can I call Tim daddy, or just Tim?" Ellie asks Lucy. "You can call him whatever you feel comfortable with." Lucy tells Ellie. "Good night mommy, I love you. Good night daddy, I love you." Ellie says. "I love you too baby. I'm going to go call auntie Angela now." Lucy says and walks out. "I love you too Ellie." Tim says and kisses her on the forehead and turns her light off and closes her door.
