The rookie Groupchat

Lucy's little Secret P2

L:Okay, I did it. I took the test.

A:And? What did it say?

N: Don't leave us hanging Chen

Tam : Is it positive?

L: Its... Negative. False Alarm

A: Really?

N: So, what are you feeling?

N: Sad? Disappointed? Happy? Relieved?

L:I... don't know. Honestly, I feel a bit of both. I mean, I wasn't expecting it, but now that the possibility was there... I guess it got me thinking.

A:Thinking about babies with Tim, huh? You guys would make cute kids, you know that, right?

L:Oh God, please don't start. I'm already feeling weird enough as it is. I don't need more pressure.

Tam:Come on, Lucy. You can't tell me you didn't think about it, even for a second.

L:Fine, maybe I did. A little. But that doesn't mean I'm ready for kids. Tim and I are... we're still figuring things out.

N:"Figuring things out," huh? You've been doing that for a while now. So, what's holding you back? You two are solid. This would be just another step.

A:Exactly. You've already got the partnership, the chemistry, the unspoken connection. Having a kid would just be a natural progression.

L:Yeah, but it's not that simple. We're both so focused on work right now, and with everything going on, a baby would be... a lot.

Tam:True, but you and Tim? You two can handle anything. You've proven that a hundred times over.

L:Thanks, Tamara. I just—ugh, I can't believe how much this messed with my head.

N:It's understandable. A pregnancy scare can make you reassess everything. But hey, you're not pregnant, so you've got time to figure out what you really want.

A:Exactly. You've got time to plan for it, talk to Tim, and see where you two stand on the whole kid thing.

L:Yeah, the talking to Tim part. That's going to be fun. How do you even bring that up? "Hey, by the way, I thought I was pregnant, and now I'm kind of wondering if maybe we should have a baby someday?" Yeah, that'll go over well.

N:Oh, I'd pay good money to see the look on Tim's face when you say that.

A:He'll probably go all stoic and tactical, like, "Okay, we need a 12-month timeline and a checklist before we even think about baby stuff."

Tam:Yeah, and then he'll start researching baby gear like it's his next undercover assignment.

L:Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. Tim's all about the planning. He'd probably have a color-coded spreadsheet for baby names.

A:I mean, it could be worse. At least you know he'd take it seriously.

L:Yeah, you're right. But still, I don't even know if I'm ready for that conversation yet. This whole thing caught me off guard.

N:Look, Lucy, you're allowed to take your time. There's no rush to figure it all out right now. But when you do, you've got a good partner in Tim. He'll be on board, whatever you decide.

Tam:And if he freaks out, you've got us to back you up. We'll make sure he doesn't get too in his head about it.

L:Thanks, guys. I really appreciate you being here for me, even when I'm freaking out over nothing.

A:It wasn't nothing, Lucy. It's a big deal. And you handled it like a pro.

N:Yeah, besides, now you've got some practice for when it does happen. Because let's be real, it's only a matter of time with you two.

L: Don't jinx me!

Tam:Too late! We're already planning your baby shower.

A:And picking out cute little detective onesies. It's happening, Chen. Just accept it.

L:You guys are the worst.

N:Nah, we're the best. And you know it.
