Parents

I really can't understand you

It was already 2pm so Lucy didn't have much time to kill before Angela would be off work seeing as she went in so early, Lucy started to drive towards the mall. She still needed to pick an outfit for hers and Tim's birthday party.

She already knew she was going to be a pirate, she made her way with Bea to the different clothing stores so she could pick everything she needed.
She started with a short white flowy dress with a brown corset from urban. She then picked out some chunky gold jewellery and a belt as well as boots and a hat.

She decided she wanted to match with Tim so gave him a quick call.

T- hey baby u ok? Ur on speaker with Celina.
L- yeah I'm good, so u know we r doing a fancy dress party.
T- yeah
L- would u like to match?
T- sure why not
L- ok would u like to know what we r going as?
T- go on then,
L- woah don't sound too excited

Lucy said sarcastically,

T- Lu I'm trying to work baby,
L- r u actually on a call then?
T- no we r patrolling,
L- so not very busy then
T- Lucy can u just tell me
L- why r u getting agitated with me?
T- I'm not, u know what ur doing
L- doing what?
T- screw the stupid costume then Lucy
L- screw the stupid costume then Lucy

Lucy mimicked Tim, she knew this really annoyed him

T- why r u being like this?
L- because ur in a mood.
T- I'm not in a mood Lucy I just am working,
L- well I would've probably still been working if u hadn't run to grey after our argument last night
T- let's think realistically now, u wouldn't have got this far through the day without ur meds.
L- so u think I can't live without them?
T- Lucy u know u can't, why r u deliberately being annoying?
L- I'm not, I'm just trying to speak to u.
T- and I've said I'm working,
L- then why r u still entertaining the conversation,
T- because I can,
L- not a good enough answer
T- that's a shame, right r u telling me the costume idea or not?
L- pirates?
T- ok sure, see was that really that hard
L- no but it was funny.
T- yeah right, r u buying my costume then?
L- can do,
T- right Luce I do really need to go now ok?
L- ok love u.
T- love u too.

Lucy grabbed some similar items in the same colours for Tim to wear, she hoped he would actually like the outfit. She found it funny trying to annoy him.

Once she had finished shopping she took Bea across the road from the mall to get some ice cream.

"U want strawberry?" Lucy asked softly,

Bea clapped her hands happily in response,

"Ok darling, u can eat it in the car on the way to auntie Angela's house ok?"

Lucy ordered the ice cream and gave it to Bea while they walked to the car. She then popped Bea into her car seat and let her start eating.

Lucy began the drive to Angela's house so they would be there for when she gets back from work,

It was now a few hours later, Angela was home from work and sat on the sofa cuddled up with Lucy and Bea.

"I wonder what time she's going to be picked up," Angela yawned.

"Probably not till late, u need to go to sleep Ange ur exhausted." Lucy ran her fingers through Angela's hair.

"I can't I need to start dinner in a bit, Wesley will be home with willow in about an hour."

"Go nap until 5:30, I'll sort dinner don't worry about it." Lucy insisted.

"If ur sure?"

"Yes I'm super duper sure."

Angela got up and went into her bedroom, Lucy got up and carried Bea to the kitchen. She placed her in willows old high chair so she could keep an eye on her while she cooked.
