————————-

They went home after leaving Angela's. Tim, Lucy and the twins cuddled against eachother watching a movie, the twins missed Tim so much.
"Have you had food?" Lucy asks her fiancé.
"no, I'm not hungry. My stomach is still turning off this hang over" Tim admits stroking Arlos hair.

"I can't believe you threw up all over the airport floor" Lucy chuckles and Tim sighs and looks at avalynn who was still asleep from Angela's, then glances to Arlo who was too preoccupied watching the movie, and then  tim glanced back at the tv.
"I didn't throw up everywhere..just infront of me" he replies.
"you must of been in a really wasted state." Lucy replies pointedly
"Yes. I was. Okay. I get the fucking point. I was being pathetic, getting drunk wasn't the answer. I get. The. Point, I've heard it from everyone, including you multiple times. God Lucy just leave it" he snaps.

"excuse me!?" Lucy scoffs, Tim shakes his head and slowly moves the twins softly out the way and gets up.
"Where you going daddy? Don't shout at mommy" arlo frowns crossing his arms.
Tim shakes his head "just need to be alone buddy." He replies softly and grabs his jacket and slips some shoes back on.

Lucy groans and gets up "where on earth are you going Tim?" She asks, not very pleased at all.
"need some space." He says and leaves, Lucy throws her hands in the air and shakes her head and sits back with the twins.

Tim storms out the house and he just walks, he was planning on just walking. He knows he's done wrong. He ruined things again, all he does is ruin everything good in his life, he's just left his fiancé with his children while he has a meltdown.

The next thing he knows he's out side of Sargent greys house..he didn't even know how he ended up here. He presses the doorbell and Dominique answers the door.
"Oh hi..Sargent Bradford" she smiles confused why her father's Sargent has appeared to her home at this time.

"Hey Dominique..is it a good time? Is your dad here?" Tim asks awkwardly.
"yes, he's sat watching the game. Come in, come in" she says opening the door fully.
"Thanks" Tim nods and follows her in.

"Dad you have company" Dominique says softly walking Tim into the living room, grey turns around from where he was facing the tv and looks at Tim.
"Oh isn't it Sargent drunk mess. Come on take a seat son, dom go and grab Tim a beer" grey smirks and Tim sighs and takes a seat and Dominique grabs Tim's beer and head to her room.

"What brings you here? Shouldn't you be with your pregnant fiancé and your adorable little babies?" Grey asks and Tim shrugs.
"I keep messing up wade. Everything good I have..I just ruin it" Tim says playing with the beer label, grey frowns and grabs the tv control and turns the tv off and sits facing Tim.

"What's happened." He asks.
"Lucy was only playing, she was kidding but she was laughing about what happened at the airport. And I snapped. I keep snapping at her and ruining everything" Tim mopes.
"give your head a wobble, reset your self. It's been a lot for you too, and you haven't had a break. It's been everything with the abuse with Ashley, being framed, Laura, then Laura and Ryan, the twins party, Lucy pregnant, then going to hospital with out you knowing, your still settling in with the twins, work, then you had to deal with Ashley again, then yesterday, Tim it's completely understandable why your acting out like this." Grey says reassuringly.

"But- I've fucked everything up with Lucy." Tim sighs taking a long swig of beer.
"Tim, she's made it clear that she's not getting rid of you again, you're the one pushing her away- hell you're pushing everyone away." Grey states looking at the younger officer.
"I'm not." Tim shakes his head and grey scoffs.
"As if Tim. You haven't spoke to anyone about your feelings, you keep having anger outbursts..maybe letting people in.." grey says and Tim shakes his head.

"I'm fine" he responds and grey rolls his eyes, the whole time he's known Tim, Tim has never asked for help, or admitted he's struggling.
"Look Tim, I get you want to put a brave face on and act strong around your family..but you're falling apart. And if you shatter and completely fall apart that is where you will lose Lucy, so for all of our sake Tim ask for help, speak to anyone- me, Lucy Angela..a therapist?? It's a huge brave step asking for help" grey says softly and Tim turns his head away from Grey, his eyes water..maybe it's about time to ask for help. He can't promise and vow anything to Lucy on their wedding day if he can't even help him self.

"You're right." Tim sighs.
"can you repeat that? Or can I get that in writing" grey laughs and Tim rolls his eyes.
" thanks. I better get going" Tim says hesitantly knowing he isn't ready to go back yet, grey must notice:
"Son stay, watch the game. We get take out. I'll call Lucy and explain everything. You're not in the right state to go back there..not now" grey says and Tim nods.

"Thanks." He nods.
"You're welcome tim." Grey says and gets up and leaves the room to call Lucy.

-

Lucy's phone started calling and she just put the twins down into bed, she didn't know what to do. Tim is starting to go all reckless..

She expects the phone call to be Tim but it's Sargent grey..she frowns and answers.
"Sir?" She answers.
"Your fiancé is with me, he's fine. He's turned up at my door needed a man, to man conversation. He's going to give his head a refresher and return to you and the twins. Don't take it hard on him Lucy..he just needed to realise some stuff." Grey spits out in one go, Lucy sighs in relief, glad that Tim is somewhere safe.
"Thanks sir..make sure he comes back in one peice, tell him I love him" Lucy says softly and hangs up.

Grey smiles softly, and goes back into the living room.
"She's fine Tim, she understands. Promise, she loves you so much you know" grey says sitting next to Tim.
"Yeah I love her too..I still need to buy her a ring. She wants to get married in a few months and I've got nothing" Tim sighs.

"okay. I'm not allowing you to go to work tomorrow, and not until you buy a ring Tim. Buy one. Plan a perfect proposal. And marry that girl. But during all of this, get help, go to therapy." Grey says and Tim nods taking in the elder man's advice.
"I'm going to go to town first thing. Then..I'll look for therapists."he sighs.
"Great, now let's watch the game" grey responds clasping his hands together and turning the tv back on and smiling.
