Lucy and Tim had been married for 3 years when Tim decided to be unfaithful
Disclaimer: I don't think Tim would ever do this but it's for the plot
~~~
Lucy woke up and looked at the empty side of the bed and sighed. She wished it was a dream but clearly it wasn't. She looked over at her phone *6 missed calls. 25 text* all from Tim.
She opened her phone to look at a few.
Tim:
Baby I'm sorry
Please let me fix this
It was a one time thing
I was drunk and I know that's no excuse but im so sorry
I never meant to hurt you
Please baby don't shut me out
***
Lucy sighed and decided to text back. "Where are you?" And he quickly replied with "Angela's" to which she replied "come here let's talk"
He said yes and with that she waited. Sitting there on the bed hand over her belly thinking about how bad last night was.
~~~
Lucy was laying in bed when she got a text from some random number. She was confused so she opened it.
RN: Hey girly, are you Tim Bradfords Wife?
L: Yes? How did you get my number
RN: He cheated on you and I grabbed your number when I saw you texted him. I did not know he was married so immediately I decided to text you.
L: Is he with you now? What's your name?
RN: Leah and No he left 5 minutes ago
Lucy: Thank you for telling me can I ask how many times and what y'all did?
Leah: With me just today I have no clue if there's been more. I met him at the bar last night. We just had sex and with a condom.
~~~
Lucy thanked the girl and stopped texting her. She could feel tears in her eyes and a huge lump in her throat. Once he got home he walked straight to their bedroom "Hey baby I'm gonna get in the shower wanna join me?"
You shook your head "No and after that shower you need to leave" you said firmly.
"What? Leave for what?"
A tear brimmed in her eyes "I know where you were last night Leah texted me"
His eyes went wide "baby.. I'm sorry I-" he said stepping towards you and you cut him off "No please get your shower and leave. Don't touch me we're done" with that you walked out and when you came back him and a small bag were gone.
~~~
You were snapped back into reality when you heard a door click. "Lucy?" Tim said and you walked over to him and instantly cried engulfing him in a hug.
You have zero clue why you just hugged him. Hormones maybe? You are 5 months pregnant but maybe you really do what to fix this. Maybe it's worth it.
He hugged you back "I'm so sorry baby please let me talk" Lucy pulled away and looked up at him and shook his head "Talk later right now I want you to fuck me better than you did her"
"Lucy... please let's talk first" Lucy scoffed pulling off from him "Now you want to talk. You didn't want to talk before you cheated. Why did you cheat anyways?"
He shrugged "No idea. I was completely blacked out drunk. I don't even remember the girl. I remember leaving the bar and waking up in the bed that wasn't ours. You have to believe me"
"One time thing?"
Tim nodded "yes"
"I don't know Tim. You've never done this before and now that I'm pregnant all of a sudden you do it. I know we haven't had a lot of sex but-"
Tim grabbed you "it is not that I promise"
Lucy sighed "I need to know how you're going to fix this and why you want to fix this. Most people cheat to get out of the relationship."
"Lucy I didn't do it to get out of our marriage. I really have no reason why I did it. I just did it. Also I will do whatever it takes to fix us even if that means couples therapy and I want to fix us for not only you and me but for him" he put his hand your belly "he deserves the happy and in love us"
Lucy nodded "if we go to couples therapy the first thing they're going to tell us to sleep in Separate beds until we love eachother again"
He put a hand on her cheek "oh Lucy I still love you. I promise you that. I never stopped loving you and I can give you the whole I was shit faced story but it doesn't matter because what I did was wrong"
"I could never stop loving you and yes I'm mad at you but I also am really jealous and I need you" she said slipping her hand down his jeans.
"Lucy..." he said biting his lip as he grabbed him.
"Don't tell me you're not going to fuck me but you can fuck that whore"
"I wasn't going to say that I-" he said peering down at her but she cut him off "Shut up and kiss me or get out" Lucy declared pissed off.
He immediately slammed his mouth against Lucy's shutting up like she asked.
~~~
*a month later*
Lucy and Tim had decided that they weren't really getting through their problems living together as they found sex as a way to ignore their words so he decided to stay with his sister.
They work together still but barely talk. Lucy tries to keep it to a minimum but today they had therapy so Tim decided to talk to her.
Tim walked over to her desk "How are you guys doing?" Lucy smiled softly she hated this separation but knew it had to be done. "We're good we just really miss you at home"
He shot her a crooked smile "I know baby I miss it too. We have therapy today so maybe we'll bring it up"
Lucy nods. She hasn't really moved on from the hurt more or less shut it away and Tim can't seem to find the courage to tell her why he was so drunk that night.
~~~
Tim and Lucy sit on the couch staring at the therapist as they do twice a week. Lucy was shocked when Tim actually showed up on time twice a week but in a way it proved he wanted to fix things.
Therapist : Okay so your plan when you came in here was to be ready to move back in together after a month. I have some things before we figure that out. Lucy do you have something you want to ask Tim?
Lucy nods "Why? Not why did you cheat but why were you so drunk that night that you don't remember anything"
Tim sighed "I was or I guess am scared. I'm scared to be like my father. I've always wanted to be a dad but what if I'm not meant to be and in-"
The therapist cut him off "Trying to not be your father you became your father"
Tim nodded "The next day I knew what I did was wrong and I haven't picked up a beer since or went out. I'm trying to fix this Lucy. I love you and I want this. We're married for a reason"
Lucy smiled softly and then the therapist asks "Tim do you have something to ask her?" He nods "why can't you forgive me?"
Lucy: I'm scared you're going to do it again. I forgive you and then I have him and then you go sleep with someone else because I won't sleep with you and then there I am alone with the baby when I thought we were in this together
Tim grabbed her hand softly "we are in this together. It was never about sex. I love you Lucy and I'm not going to fuck it up again"
*The end*
Maybe there's room for a PT2?
