The Rookie (OC x Lucy) (Fan Fiction)

Chapter 16: Greenlight

With Wesley

Wesley, Lucy, and Zoe were in the middle of their usual morning routine. Lucy and Zoe were busy with the babies, while Wesley was in the kitchen, whipping up breakfast.

As he flipped the last pancake, Wesley glanced over his shoulder. "Uh, did one of you remember to call the babysitter?"

Lucy paused, bouncing one of the little ones on her hip. "Oops, I didn't. Sorry about that."

Zoe looked up with a calm smile. "No worries, I took care of it."

Wesley let out a relieved sigh. "Perfect. I forgot. Thanks for covering for me, honey."

Zoe grinned, teasing him. "You've always been a bit forgetful."

Lucy nodded in agreement, a playful twinkle in her eye. "He is. Very forgetful."

Wesley chuckled as he set the plates on the counter. "I swear, it's never intentional."

As he finished plating the food, Wesley called out, "Breakfast is ready!"

Lucy walked over and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for making breakfast. I'm starving."

Wesley smiled warmly. "It's the least I can do. You're handling our little ones, so it's only fair you get to relax and eat, Boot."

Lucy returned his smile. "I thought I was helping because I'm your girlfriend, but the food is a nice bonus."

Wesley leaned in, his voice soft. "You are, and I love you."

She kissed him again, her voice full of affection. "I love you too," she said as she grabbed her plate.

Wesley watched her with a contented grin as she sat down. "Mm-mmm."

Zoe, noticing his gaze, raised an eyebrow. "Are you watching her sit down?"

Wesley laughed, a playful glint in his eye. "Can't help it. She's beautiful, just like you are."

Zoe blushed and waved him off with a smile. "Oh, stop it, you flirt."

Wesley leaned in to give her a quick kiss before she grabbed her plate and joined Lucy at the table.

Lucy looked back at him, a knowing smile on her face. "You can admire me any other time, but right now, come sit down, baby."

Wesley chuckled and grabbed his plate, sitting down with the two women he adored.

After they finished breakfast, a knock at the door interrupted their morning.

Wesley stood up and walked over to answer it. When he opened the door, he smiled warmly. "Hey, Melissa."

The young girl stepped inside with a cheerful greeting. "Hi, Mr. Wick."

Wesley nodded toward the living room. "You ready to handle the twins for the day? We've got to head out to work."

Melissa gave a confident smile. "Absolutely. I've got this, I promise."

Lucy walked over, carrying her bag. "Just remember, if you need anything, don't hesitate to call us, okay?"

Melissa nodded. "I will, I promise. If anything comes up, I'll reach out right away."

Wesley pointed toward the kitchen. "Good. Our numbers are on the fridge if you need them."

Melissa gave a thumbs-up. "Got it."

With everything set, Wesley, Lucy, and Zoe gathered their bags. They each waved goodbye to the twins, who were playing nearby, before heading out the door, trusting that Melissa had everything under control.
