SOMETHING UNEXPECTED

Chapter 16

Tim's POV

The next morning I woke up before Lucy and went into the kitchen.
I started preparing everything for my famous pancakes.

When I was almost done with the pancakes, I felt her hugging me from behind. "Good morning sleepyhead" I said and turned around in her arms so that I could kiss her.
She returned the kiss and smiled sleepily at me. "Good morning,you didn't really let me sleep that much this night." 
I laughed and pulled myself out of her arms to flip the pancakes. "You were the one who couldn't get enough of me and I also won our bet. You probably made all the forest animals flee as loud as you were" I grinned cheekily at her and received a punch on the arm. "It was your tongue that made me lose it, you played unfairly in that bet" she defended herself. "Well, if my tongue bothers you, I can leave it in my mouth the next time" I shrugged my shoulders innocently and then distributed the pancakes onto the plates.
"You're only allowed to stop doing that thing with your tongue if you don't have a tongue anymore because someone has cut it off" she said laughing and then we sat down at the table for breakfast.

After breakfast, we tidied up the kitchen and got ready because Lucy really wanted to go hiking.
We walked along a beautiful hiking trail towards the lake.

We took a short break at the lake.
"Lucy, look, there's something by the water." I said and Lucy went very close to the water to see what was there.
I pushed her into the water.
When she resurfaced and swam to the edge of the lake, she looked at me grimly. "You're such an jerk Bradford. Be glad I love you."
"Sorry Luce but it was just too tempting at the edge not to do it and it's hot outside so I thought I'd give you a cool down." I said with a grin and held out my hand to help her out of the lake but she had a completely different plan.

Lucy grabbed my hand and pulled me towards her. I lost my balance and fell into the water to her. She laughed and I splashed her with water. After we had a water fight and spent some time in the lake, which was really good to cool off, we swam back towards the shore and climbed out of the lake.

I wanted to go back towards the cabin but Lucy stopped. I turned around "Are you coming now Boot? Or are you going to stay there until you sleep roots?"

"My shoes are full of water because of you." she said and I walked back to her. "So what, my shoes are full of water because of you too, then take them off and walk around barefoot." I replied.
"Can't you carry me back?" she asked me, looking at me with her big beautiful brown eyes. She knew that I couldn't deny her a wish so I took her piggyback and carried her back to the cabin.

When we arrived at the cabin, I dropped her off and we went inside.
We took towels and dried ourselves off. After we'd put on some dry clothes, I lit the fire in the fireplace while Lucy made us some tea.
I sat down on the sofa and Lucy came over with the two cups of tea.
She put the cups down on the little table in front of the sofa and lay down on the sofa with her head on my lap.
I put one hand on her little bulging baby bump and stroked it.

"Do you want to know the genders before the birth?" I asked her.
"Yes, I would be far too impatient to wait almost six months. Preparing the nursery and everything is easier if we know whether it's going to be two boys or two girls. Then we can think about names beforehand" she replied.
"Do you already have a few names in mind?" I asked her curiously as I had never thought about this name topic before.

"I was thinking of calling them Jake and Dim if they're boys. And if there are two girls, we could call them Sava and Juicy." Lucy looked at me seriously and intently to see my reaction. I think my jaw dropped when she mentioned those names.
I think she was serious with these names.

"Lucy, I have a question. Do you hate our children already?"
"No Tim, I already love our children more than anything."
So she really meant it seriously. "Then I want a divorce, Babe."
"What? We're not even engaged or married yet, Tim."
"Yes, but believe me, if you call our children that, there will never be a wedding. Then we'll just end up divorced before we even are married to each other.I won't let you name our children after our criminal doppelgangers and their stupid nicknames." I said with a straight face.

Lucy burst out laughing. "Did you really think I was serious with these names?" 
"No...yes... You looked so serious and... " I was speechless.
She had teased me again.
I felt exactly like I did on our last day as TO and Boot where she lied to my face and said she had feelings for me to prove to me that she had the killer instinct to work undercover.

Although I've always been sure since that day that she was at least a little bit honest with what she said about the feelings she had for me.
I was already head over heels in love with her back then but I never dared to tell her or to surrender to the feelings I had for her till after our undercover operation as Juicy and Dim. 
I couldn't resist her any longer after this time in Las Vegas. I tried but failed. Back then we were both in other relationships at this time but I only had feelings for her. I was glad when Ashley broke up with me and I was more than happy when Lucy broke up with Chris. I hated that guy. But I hated every guy I saw with her. But now I would never have to worry seeing her with other guys.

One day I would ask her to make it official that she belongs only to me by marrying her.
