Lucy's POV

Being with Tim again was a dream, even if now we had a toddler to deal with and interrupt our time together. Honestly I regretted staying away at all, whatever I was thinking was clearly wrong.

We had been back together for two months now, and my things had just started being moved back into the master bedroom again.

Tim was honestly the best boyfriend in the world, constantly making me breakfast, and taking care of Juniper, making sure I didn't hurt myself doing anything.
Not to mention practically forcing Grey to put m on desk duty after coming back to work two weeks ago, even if I still hated desk duty. Because that was who Tim was deep down, someone who cares about others more than he would ever admit.

"Moor peesies pwees mumma"

Juniper said from next to me, prompting me to put another half scoop of pees onto her plate, realistically knowing at least half of them would end up on the floor.
But that was life with a kid, a messy, prefect life that I wouldn't trade for the world.

After Juniper finished yet another helping of peas, I pulled her out of her highchair, picking up partially crushed foods from the ground around the table as Juniper ran to her room to pick out what pjs she wanted.

Next was bath time, watching my toddler splash in the bath and try to sink the play boats and ducks while I tried to keep the water and shampoo out of her eyes.
Then the inevitable crying as I took her out of the now lukewarm bath water and play ducks, even if it was to get changed into pajamas.

Tim would be home in a few minutes after his overtime finished and I knew there was no point trying to put Juni to bed knowing she would want to see her father as well so I put on an episode of paw patrol, where Juniper annoying favoured the fireman dog, clearly she has been spending to much time around Bailey.

Eventually we heard the keys in the door and Juniper bolted off the sofa to meet her father as he walked through the door.

Like usual Tim picked her up, cuddling her close to his chest and peppering both of us with kisses.

God I loved my family.

After that Juniper finally settled to bed, letting the tiredness of the day finally catch up to her.

Then I ate dinner, showered and lay on our bed, waiting for Tim so we could snuggle before I fell asleep.

Tim's POV

I was getting the last of Lucy's things from the guest room where she had been staying before everything happened.
It gave me flashbacks even being in the room, remembering Lucy so fragile and small curled up in the corner of the bed, not saying a word for days.

I pulled out the last box from under the bed, it was small and light although from the clattering sound as I lifted it I could tell something was inside.

Lucy's POV

I saw the light be replaced with shadow as Tim stepped into the doorway of the room.
I thought he would just continue into the bed next to me, but the shadow stayed.

"Tim, come to bed"

I called over my shoulder, not bothering to turn around. Tim's silence prompted me to turn around.
I saw Tim, standing in the doorway, staring at me with confusion and pain in his eyes.

I looked down to his hand.
The pregnancy test.
He knew.
Crap.
