Locklyle Broken Up? Nah

ch 9

3rs person pov
    
When they got back to Portland Row, Holly went to see how bad Katie's knee was, and Lucy layed Jacob down for a nap. Lockwood got an ice pack and went into the library, after a few minutes Lucy came in, and sat next to him on the couch .
    
"I can't believe you did that."
    
"Did what? I didn't even hit the asshole back, plus while Katie isn't actually a kid, Jake doesn't need to be exposed to violence like that."
    
"Exactly, you did nothing. And from the sounds of it, you did nothing for my kid's mentality." Anthony sighs.
    
"Luce, we both had messed up childhoods, I hate seeing it happen to other kids, and this one being your kid, I guess I fell like I need to do something." She pulls him into a hug, which he gladly returns.
    
"How's your jaw?"
    
"Still hurts a little, it's definitely going to bruise."
    
"Already is, but I know something that can make it feel better."
    
"I already took some Advil-." She reached up and kissed his jaw, just like she did when they were dating.
    
"Or I could just do that."
    
"And how is that susposed to make it feel better?" He raises an eyebrow.
    
"Well with kids, it's just to get them to shut up. With you, I know it'll make the blood rush elsewhere."
    
"Do you now?" He says smirking.
    
"We dated long enough, I figured that stuff out. But seriously though, the swelling might be part of the pain." She looks into his eyes, and he felt he might get lost in hers.
    
"You know, I still lo-" Anthony began to say but Holly walked in at just the wrong moment.
    
"You did a good job on bandaging her knee Luce." They break eye contact, but keep close to eachother, her eyes widden. "Oh I'm sorry, did I just interupt something?"
    
"Honestly not sure Hol." Lucy says finding her voice first.
    
"Y'know what, I'll just leave." She backed out if the room.
    
"You were saying?"
    
"Well the moment is kind of gone, but I was going to tell you that I still love you Luce, I always have."
    
"I think, I might still love you too Lockwood."
    
"Really?"
    
"Yeah."
    
"That's amazing! So do you want to..." he trailed off not sure if I could actually ask her.
    
"Go out again?"
    
"Yeah, like to a movie or something." She grinned her beautiful Carlyle grin.
    
"Sounds like fun, but I'll need someone to watch Jake." Her smile faded a little twords the end.
    
"Or we could find a family friendly movie, and take him with us."
    
"Well Incredibles 2 just hit theaters." (Not sorry)
     
"Perfect, that's what I wanted to bring you to anyway, seeing as the first one came out when we were little."
    
"You're just like a little kid." She said laughing at him, "Sounds like fun though." Just then they heard the front door close, and they seperated a little.
    
"Ok Zach's taken care of."
    
"What did you do?" Anthony asked.
    
"Took him back to our parents' house, told them everything, and they almost called the cops on him."
    
"Wow a 27 year old still getting told off by his parents, wish I could have seen that." Lucy said.
    
"It was pretty good, Luce my parents want pictures of their grandson, even though they won't get to see him-like at all."
    
"I'll send you some from when he was little and one from the other day with him on the monkey bars."
    
"Great, so did I miss anything here?"
    
"No, I'm just keeping an eye on Lockwood to make sure he doesn't have a concussion."
    
"He hit him in the jaw though."
    
"Yeah, but it was a blow to the head. It's less likely, but still possible."
    
"Okay, what ever. George figure out how to change her back yet?"
    
"I don't think so, I hope he does soon though, I'm not sure how I'm going to tell her family. But if it's fixed within 24 hours I don't have to."
    
"Well lucky for you he did find a way to fix my problem." Katie said walking into the room in her normal teenage form.
    
"Yes! I really didn't want to be the one to tell your parents."
    
"You don't care if i do then?"
    
"No, not really. If you look back in the papers, we've done some pretty stupid stuff before."
    
"And you admit to it?"
    
"It's kind of hard to deny burning down a house." Lucy chimed in.
    
"What?!?!" They smiled at how confused she was.
    
"In the first year we were established."
    
"How did you not get shut down?"
    
"Well I mean we were sued for £60,000."
    
"Also it was only the top floor and we landed in a bush when we jumped out the window."
    
"Oh, and I got ghost touched."
    
"Okay, so you at least got different forms of discipline."
    
"Well yeah, all that and Inspector Barnes' hatered."
    
"Okay, well I should probably head home and explain every thing to my parents."
    
"Okay, take tomorrow off if you need it, you've been through some weird stuff these pass few days."
    
"Thanks Mr. Lockwood." After she left, Lucy turned to me.
    
"Not used to hearing people that aren't adults add the 'Mr.' infront of the 'Lockwood' in your name."
    
"Neither am I half the time." He pulls out my phone and texted George.

Lockwood: Hey u guys changed her back

George: Cool, I'll send the ones who need sword practice back, but im keeping the otherz to do research on a few other cases

Lockwood: Ok cool, any sound good

George: Not sure, looking up stuff for a psychic hearing aid.

Lockwood: Y?

George: U'll see
    
"George is sending some of the kids back to work on feild work. You wanna hang out and teach them a thing or two Luce?"
    
"I haven't done like anything to do with being an agent sence I worked for you."
    
"Then go dowstairs and play around with a rapier for a while to get warmed up." She raised an eyebrow.
    
"You're seroius aren't you?"
    
"You know it." He gave her a wink. It was hard for him not to call her 'babe' sence that's what he used to do when they were together, but they are not even dating any more so the wink would have to do.
    
"Okay, well sence there is no way I'm getting out of this, I'll be in the practice room." She headed out of the room, and he hears the basement door close.
    
"Ask her out yet?"
    
"Actually yes, it won't be just the two of us, we'll have Jake, but it's a start."
    
"Well at least you asked her."
    
"Yeah, well after I've faught her ex and she kissed me jaw, I figured it would be okay to do."
    
"She kissed you?"
    
"I said that it still hurt so she was treating me like a little kid."
    
"So it was a pitty kiss?"
    
"Maybe a little, but she also said that she knew it would get the blood to go other places."
    
"That just means she knows how do turn you on."
    
"But it was the way she said it. And she seemed really interested in going out again."
    
"Good for you Tony, I'll be able to tell my parents that their grankid has a dad again then."
    
"Well let us go on the date first."
    
"You practically have. Your little day at the park with her today-"
    
"But I went to get Katie's energy out, I didn't know Luce would be there."
    
"What ever you say..." He walk out if the room.
