The Officers Obsession (Slow Updates)

Chapter 3 || Leaving

Lauren

She leans her head on the window, as she watches the trees pass by. She gazes at the sky, as the birds fly free in the light blue sky. As she stares out, she sees her reflection and her unwanting expression.

But is this something her conscious is telling, or what? She doesn't know, but she do know that this is for a better life, and a possibly better future for her husband and child. She guess sometimes in life, people wants what's best like her husband. But what do she wants? What are her intentions about this? Do she even agrees on this fully? Of course not.

She always have second thoughts about this...and for some reason she doesn't want to leave that small part of her behind, at the only place she's ever lived. So many memories she's shared in this city, and now it comes to something moving 'them' away.

She loves going to new places, but some places are meant for home like hers and her family. She's surprise that she hasn't even cried, for she knows that's a sign of weakness. She never wants to feel weak, or sadden in the slightest bit of way. That's why she became a cop in the first place to begin with. To be strong and encouraging, and showing no sign of failure whatsoever. To be a real person with heart and show no emotions when it comes to taking down her enemies.

Lauren is a woman with heart, not hate. Even with all the things that's happend to her in her past, she always finds a way to get over it, and forgive and most likely to forget. That's just who she is. A tough understanding person. That's the only reason why she's going through with this whole move. Because she wants her husband to be happy, to be proud. She doing this for him, and only him.

She loves him that much to go through with this whole thing. She's putting so much effort into this, its actually hard to see that she's not getting so upset about it. Maybe that's why she has so much courage in her, because she's a tough person basically. She goes through a lot at her job, as she takes down criminal's and other insane people.

She already knows this is for best and not just some joke. This is now her decision, and she's not gonna change that.

"Mommy, are we there?" Lily asked as she yawned.

"Not yet baby, we still have more miles to go until we get to Gerogia." Lauren says as she looks up at Lily from the car mirror.

She watch Lily give a frown. She sighed and reach behind her to give her her teddy bear.

"Just hold teddy until we get there okay? Don't you think teddy wants someone to keep him safe, throughout our journey?" Lauren says to try and keep Lily distracted for awhile.

Lily took the bear and snuggled up to it, as she put her thumb into her mouth. This made Lauren smiled as her daughter was on her way to sleep. She turned back around once that was settled to look back out the window.

"You're better at handling her then I am." Dave said as he kept his eyes on the rode.

Lauren turned her head to look at him. "Babies always love there mommies."

"What's that suppose to mean?" He was smiling now.

"Means mother's have more power." She chuckled.

"Ouch." He pretended to place a hand over his heart, as if he was heartbroken.

"You know I'm just kidding." She reached over to place her hand on his lap in reassurance.

"I know you are hun." He said as looked over at her and flashed her a quick smile.

After that, they both sat in silence while Lily was fast asleep. Lauren soon went back to laying her head against the window. The sky was now pitch black, as there only light source was the car head lights. She just knew it was going to be a long way before they even get where they're going. She closes her eyes a bit as she ponders her thoughts. She glanced over at Dave and saw him dozing off a bit. This worried her.

"Do you want me to drive?" She whispered to him.

He gently shook his head. " No...I'm good. Just a bit tired. I just need some coffee."

She reached in her cup holder, and handed him her half full cup of coffee.

"Here."

She watched him quickly take the cup in his hands. With one hand on the wheel, he brought the cup to his mouth and drunk the coffee. Before she knew it, he drained the whole cup, until there wasn't another drop. He gave her back the empty cup and let out a loud sigh.

"Gosh, I needed that." He says more awake then before.

Lauren just laughed lightly. "You're not you when you're sleepy."

"And you're not you when you're hungry." He joked.

She hit his arm playfully, before leaning over and kissed his cheek.

"You know if I wasn't driving right now, I'd show you a real kiss." He bit his lips.

"Dave, don't forget Lily's in the back." She gave him a serious look.

"She's asleep Lauren. She's not gonna hear us."

"Just drive." She tried to hold back a laugh.

"Ugh...you're lucky I love you." He said in a playful voice.

"And you're lucky I married you." She shot back.

They both laughed, until they both sat in silence again. She don't know how long it was, but before she knew it she fell asleep.
