Sick

Lucy woke to her alarm blaring in her ears and instantly feeling the exhaustion of last night, she didn't sleep till around 3. This was due to her being lost in her thoughts, she felt so guilty she had caused all that stress. She knew Angela would still be annoyed, as well as Nyla.

She tried to make herself look presentable, putting her hair in a low bun and doing some light makeup. Lucy picked out her outfit choosing a plaid shirt and some black jeans. She made her way to the kitchen dreading the day ahead.

"Morning." Lucy mumbled.

"Lucy don't even." Angela replied rolling her eyes.

"Angela I'm actually sorry." She pleaded

"Lucy I don't have time for this conversation, I need to leave." Angela grabbed her bag and left saying a quick goodbye to Wesley and the kids.

"Guess I better get going too then." Lucy muttered, hurrying out of the house.

She arrived at the station, she hated work at the moment. It used to be so fun and something she looked forward to but since everything with Tim it's not been the same.

As soon as she walked through the doors she heard her name being called by grey.

"Yes sir?"

"Chen my office please."

Lucy walked into the office, not expecting Nyla to be sat there.

"Sir?" Lucy questioned.

"Your riding with Harper today."

"But.."

"Lucy I know what happened last night, and I don't care your still riding with Harper."

"Whatever." Lucy walked out the office straight into the locker room. She quickly got her uniform on and went into role call.

She sat there listening to Grey waffling on about stuff that didn't even matter, all she could focus on was the eyes of Nyla burning into the back of her. Lucy knew this was going to be one long day.

As role call came to an end Lucy approached Nyla.

"Why'd u feel the need to tell Grey?" Lucy demanded.

"Get in the damn shop Lucy."

Lucy could not be bothered to argue at the moment so set up their shop. She slumped into the passenger seat and waiting for Nyla to get in.

"About time." Lucy murmured as Nyla finally got in, coffee in hand.

"Hm what was that?"

"Nothing."

"Yeah that's what I thought."

"I'm going to ask u again. Why did u tell Grey?"

"Because I knew u would come in today all miserable and that means u won't be preforming at ur best."

"Right."

"Lucy, do u not understand how bad it is to smoke while pregnant, especially with how far along you are it wouldn't be that big of a deal if u was only a few weeks but 3 months."Nyla's tone had calmed.
