Lucy's POV

Yeah. I hadn't exactly expected a different reaction to what I had just told Tim. He had taken my virginity. I could expect him not to be mad that I didn't tell him that he did that.

But I knew he wouldn't have done it otherwise and I was ready. I guess I never wanted to wait for marriage, just for the right guy. With Emmet even though we were married I refused. Deep down I knew he wasn't the guy for me.

I just let Tim sulk. I knew he would be sad for a bit, then we would be fine.

I stood on the balcony, it was summer so the air was warm. Tim came over after a few minutes and hugged me from behind.
I kissed his chin. God I wanted to marry him. We had been dating all of two months and I wanted to marry him already.
I could imagine it already, Tim down on the  ground and holding out a ring asking me to marry him. My white dress as I walked down the aisle. Apparently I had started crying and I felt Tim place a tissue to my cheek.
"Tim?"
"Yeah baby?"
"I want to tell them on Monday"
Tim toyed with the idea
"How about Wednesday? You'll be a P2 by then?"
I nodded reluctantly and rolled my eyes at Tim.
"So, um what do we tell them? They're going to know we've been dating while you were me TO"
"We tell the the truth, they can see that I hasn't interfered in our work that we haven't been distracted. Worst case scenario one of us has to move to another department so I'm out of your chain of command"
I nod. I really don't want either of us to be fired over this.
I kissed Tim happily.
"I love you so much you know"
Tim just kissed me in response, his hand slowly trailing up my thigh.
I softly pushed it down again.
"Tim I have work later and after yesterday I couldn't walk. I kind of need to walk to do my job."
I chuckled and Tim slowly moved his hand away, looking jokingly sad.
"But we can continue this the second I step back into the apartment"
I winked and went to shower to get ready for work. I hadn't gotten much sleep yesterday so going in was painful but as a rookie I hadn't gotten many sick days so j had to go in. Tim however had called of so I was riding with Angela and Aaron today.

At the station
"Hey Angela, Aaron'
I exchanged pleasantries with everyone before roll call. Somehow Tim had gotten another few kisses out of me before I left my apartment so I barely had any time before roll call began.

I was indeed paired up with Angela and Aaron. Ever since Jackson had died Angela had Aaron as her new rookie. No one disliked, him quite the opposite, he fit in well, but we were all still saddened over Jackson's death and it felt like he was being replaced by Aaron.

I got into the shop feeling slightly dazed from my thoughts, mostly about Jackson.
"Lucy?" Angela snapped her fingers in front of my face. "You ok I've called you three times already"
"Yeah Ange I'm fine, just thinking about things"
Angela left it at that thankfully.
Shift that day was mostly uneventful. Angela mostly talked about Wesley and Jack. It was nice, hearing how happy she was. My godson was adorable, at two years old he was just starting to string togather sentences. He called me Lulu, a name I hoped would stick around even when he could pronounce 'Lucy'.

"Jack started running around properly yesterday, he's so cute I practically burst into tears wth him running at me for the first time" I was happy for Angela, truly I was but even my fake smiles didn't betray that I was unsure about a lot of things. Mostly hearing about a baby made me unsure.

Maybe that was what I saw I'm my future. Tim and I, with a baby or two of our own. Maybe that was what I wanted from my life. A family. With Tim.
I snapped out of it. Somehow I had started daydreaming about Tim again. Even after we had both insured that it wouldn't impact the job. I focused on the job again.

Angela's POV

I noticed Lucy continually spacing out in the backseat. Aaron was driving today so it gave me ample time to talk. Jack was finally running and it was so adorable. Sometimes I just wanted to hug him so tight he popped.  But hugging someone to death was illegal, and I was a cop. So I settled for the world's biggest bear hugs as Jack ran up to em after every shift was over. Every single time he was meant to be in bed. Every single time he refused to go to sleep until mummy got home. It was absolutely adorable. I loved him and Wesley so much.

As I said all of this to Aaron and Lucy neither seemed to be paying that close attention. Aaron was driving so I understood, but Lucy just seemed distracted. "Hey Lucy you ok?"
She seemed to snap back to reality, I wondered what she was thinking about.
"Huh, oh yeah Angela I'm good, I'm glad Jack's running now. Can't wait to see him next weekend"
Maybe she was paying attention?
Or maybe I just talked about Jack way to much?

The rest of the shift passed uneventfully, a missing child found at the park nearby, some low level drug dealing, an attempted carjacking and a few speeding tickets. I went back to the station, getting changed and heading home to Jack and Wesley.
