Lucy Chen knows how to read people. It's part of the job. What she doesn't know- is when she stopped reading Tim Bradford as just her partner. One dinner. One conversation. One moment that shifts everything. Suddenly, the lines feel blurred. The silences feel louder. And the things that were always easy... aren't anymore. Because some feelings don't arrive all at once. They build. Quietly. Subtly. Hidden in plain sight.

"We're not doing matching outfits," Lucy muttered, glaring at the floral shirt in her hands. Tim leaned on the doorway with a smirk. "Says the woman who just married me in front of three agents and a box of Krispy Kremes." "Fake married." "Fake hot for me, too?" She threw the shirt at his face. "Don't flatter yourself, Bradford. I only pretend when I have to."

Tim Bradford thought he already knew exhaustion, heartbreak, and responsibility-until he became a single dad to a five year old girl still asking why mommy doesn't come home anymore. Starting pre-k was supposed to be simple. Drop her off. Pick her up. Repeat. Then she met Miss Chen. Warm, patient, and somehow able to get his daughter to smile on the very first day, Lucy Chen slowly becomes the one person both Bradford girls can't stop talking about. And for the first time in years, Tim starts wondering if maybe broken things can heal.

The man in the corner-the guard assigned by our families to ensure the union is 'properly consummated' watches us with dispassionate eyes. It makes my skin crawl, but then Tim shifts his hips, and a sharp gasp tears from my throat, drowning out everything else. I bury my face in the crook of his neck to hide from the guard, inhaling the scent of sandalwood and expensive whiskey. My fingers dig into his shoulders as the rhythm builds. "Tell me something about you," he murmurs against my hair, his voice ragged but clear despite the exertion. "What?" I moan, confused and dizzy, pressing my lips to the damp skin of his neck in a desperate attempt to anchor myself. He slows his pace just enough to force me to focus, pulling back slightly so he can look me in the eye, even as his body remains connected to mine. "I want to get to know my wife."

Everyone had known that Tim and Lucy have been together since that uc mission that was 5 years ago but what they hadn't known was that Lucy has gotten pregnant two times and they are now living a private life with a 5 year old son and a 3 year old daughter.

Lucy Chen, a gorgeous, young, kind ER nurse, with an overbearing, yet loving family, has been single for years, never thinking she needed someone or wanted someone. She's had a few short-term relationships since high school, but she never felt that spark with any of them. Her family has been trying to set her up since she was 20, but every single date never had a sequel. As the youngest of 5 kids, she had always been behind her older siblings; Aria, Tyler, Rose and Reese, but all her siblings were at least engaged by 28, but Lucy is 27 and never even had a serious relationship. Her parents, Vanessa and Patrick Chen, have always told her that when she finds "the one," she would know. Then Lucy meets Tim Bradford at a mutual friends birthday party and they just...click. •♥︎-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♥︎• Tim Bradford is a sergeant and the watch commander at Mid-Wilshire Police Station. He recently got divorced from his wife, Isabel after she got addicted to drugs, and his best friend, Angela Lopez, has been trying to set him up again. During Tim's marriage, he hated everything about it, not because she was controlling, not because she cheated, not because he and Isabel argued constantly, all though the latter two were true, its because he never truly loved her. The only good thing Tim got from his marriage was his son, Oliver, who he got full custody of when the divorce was final. Tim has avoided dating since the divorce, not wanting to make Ollie think he was replacing his mother. Even if Isabel was a horrible person, she was still the mother of his child. But when Tim meets Lucy Chen at his friend Bailey's birthday party and actually feels... something, he decided to ask her out on a date. Despite feeling something, Tim doesn't expect their relationship to go anywhere, so he doesn't tell Lucy about Ollie. But over time, Tim realises he's falling for her...hard. And now he's in love with a girl who doesn

Lucy is going through a tough time and she thought Tim would help..but

Tw: this story includes emotional abuse and manipulation Before she wore a badge, Lucy Chen learned to be perfect. Quiet, graceful, obedient-never loud, never messy, never enough. In a home ruled by expectation and silence, love was earned through flawlessness, and tears were seen as weakness. She was born bright and full of feeling, but raised to hide every part that didn't fit. This is the story of the girl before the strength the world now sees. This story is vaugly based off of Billie Eilish's song, Blue, from the part where it goes 'you were born bluer than a butterfly, beautiful and so deprived of oxygen' This story is my own original idea, only Lucy and her parents are canon, and maybe I'll bring in Jackson and John later, idk, other than that, the characters are my own.
