Lucy has been doing stuff to herself, but will Angela find out? And will they both find out they secretly love each other?

Two strangers meet on Cliptalk and fall into something real-but one of them is already taken.

Best friends. Hidden feelings. Dangerous jealousy. Lucy has no idea... but Angela is already losing control.

Tim and Lucy have 3 year old twins named Sophie and Max. Tim and Lucy alway's dreamed of having a big family. They have been trying for another baby. Lucy was slowly losing hope after all those negative pregnancy tests. Angela and Lucy are half sisters. Wade and Luna are like their parents. And their kids grandparents. Angela and Wesley have a 3 year old son named Jack. They are debating to have a second baby or not. They are all really close and see each other often.

Tim Bradford doesn't believe in distractions - which is exactly why Sergeant Lucy Chen is becoming one. She transfers in polished, composed, and entirely unimpressed by his reputation, meeting every dry remark with a steadier one of her own. He doesn't go easy on people, but he doesn't go hard on her either, and that line between professional and personal starts to blur in the quiet moments - shared patrol cars, lingering eye contact, the kind of teasing that sounds harmless until it isn't. She carries herself like someone who has more waiting for her than just the job, and Tim tells himself he doesn't need to know what that is. He just needs to remember she's his partner - and nothing else.

A The Rookie fanfiction - Lucy Chen & Tim Bradford Set immediately after S8x10 "His Name Was Martin"

I'm still recovering from episode 18 of season 8 of The Rookie, the season finale and a very traumatic cliffhanger. This story directly follows the events at the end of the episode and writing it will help me get over the trauma and wait for season 9.

"Tim and Lucy Bradford are two years into marriage stronger than ever, but also more vulnerable than they'd like to admit. They've built a life of quiet understanding, shared routines, and unspoken support until Lucy is suddenly asked to return to training duty. Her new rookie, Rowan Smith, is everything she used to be impulsive, idealistic, and desperate to prove himself but twisted by arrogance and ego. As Lucy struggles to earn his respect, Tim watches from the sidelines, torn between trust in his wife's strength and his instinct to protect her. When the line between professional and personal starts to blur, both Bradfords must learn that love, like police work, demands boundaries and sometimes, breaking them is the only way to survive. It's a story about marriage, partnership, jealousy, growth, and the kind of love that doesn't fade it fights."

Lucy is Tim's Boot. Lucy lives with Jackson. Jackson and Tim are both very overprotective over Lucy since after Caleb.

During a routine call gone catastrophically wrong, Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford are taken hostage by a desperate, volatile suspect. Trapped together with no backup and no way out, they're forced to watch each other be threatened, pushed, and hurt-Lucy bearing the worst of it. As the situation spirals and survival becomes uncertain, the emotional walls between them finally crack. In the space between fear and loss, they're forced to confront what they've never said out loud-and decide if they'll risk everything on it... if they survive.
