Bradford and Chen

Too much too soon? Or just the right amount?

Tim rolled over in bed his arm going to Lucy's side it was cold he squinted sitting up he looked at the window. The colder morning meant the sun was bright he looked over at the alarm. 5:34am

Lu he called he sat up fully and rubbed his eyes when he saw the post it note. Stuck to her pillow

Gone for a run love you xx

He looked at his phone
A- is there anything i can do to make it easier for Lucy today ?

He replied

T- she's pretty good at managing it. She's in control don't worry if it's too much we will go. She's a little nervous I think.

Tim scrolled through his phone at his pictures. He smiled at the photos of Lucy and Tilly.

He looked up when he heard the door shut he looked at the time 6:40am god how long had he been scrolling for.

He smiled when he saw her morning he said she smiled morning. Nice run he asked mm-hm Lucy nodded. Tim could tell she was nervous.

He stood up and followed her into the bathroom her hair was in a pony tail he looked at her.
Breathe he said she shook her head I'm fine her voice shaky.
I know you are but I also know you. Come here he said he pulled her in. Tim I'm really sweaty she said laughing. I don't care he said she breathed him in grateful for the hug.

I'll get breakfast on you have a shower. She nodded and started undressing.

Tim walked to the kitchen thinking how much she had thrown into her exercise and work recently. Her figure had become more toned and she had lost any left over baby weight.

He made scrambled egg on toast with a smoothie each. She came out with her pjs on and hair wet. Tim studied her every time he looked at her he melted there was something about their two souls that was so right. Lu he said she looked up smiling mm she said her mouth full of toast. I love you she munched and smiled swallowing she said I love you too.

The pair got dressed she did her makeup she put on jeans and a black top a necklace with a star on it and her rings. She had dried her hair her curls shiny and soft bounced when she moved. She sprayed herself with perfume and looked at herself in the mirror. Tim was getting dressed babe do you know where my gray top is. She turned around to see him standing in his jeans.

I mean I personally think you look good like that she said laughing. He came up behind her laughing something tells me Lopez won't let me in Lucy giggled and pointed to the top draw it's in there. Smiling he put it over his head.

She went to put her shoes on are you ready Tim called. Nodding Lucy bent down and picked up her bag and the present. Tim took her hand do you want a code word Lucy looked at him all the memories of their code word came flooding back.
She quickly shook her head no if i have to go I'll just go. Tim nodded and his face looked at hers she was looking pale.
We don't have to- tim started but Lucy ran to the bathroom and vomited he knew it was coming it always happened when she was nervous.
Baby i don't think we should go I'll text ange.
Lucy looked up no don't Tim i can't hide from this forever.

Lucy nodded.

In the car lucy was silent and twiddled with her thumbs. As they pulled up he took her hand in the car she remembered being here for his 1st birthday. Closing her eyes she took a deep breath in.

Tim and her stood out the car Angela saw them from the window it was already so busy her house filled with lots of people. Nyla walked up to ange what you looking at she asked. Angela pointed to Tim and Lucy Nyla stood next to her.

Tim rang the doorbell. Lucy could hear all the children inside. She looked at Tim. He offered a warm smile.
