Wanting to do the right thing, Tim opens his home and his heart, hoping to build a new bond. Zoe looks just like him, and at first, she seems like the well‑behaved, polite child any parent would be proud of. But as the days go by, small changes begin to appear. Remi, usually the easiest, happiest little girl, starts to withdraw, growing quiet, sad, and unlike herself. Tim and Lucy are left confused, wondering what has happened to shake their world.

Based on the rookie TW: WILL CONTAIN SMUT Lucy Chen thought she knew exactly who Tim Bradford was: tough, strict, no‑nonsense, and all rules - the kind of officer who kept everyone at arm's length and let nothing soften his edge. But when she starts seeing glimpses of something more, she discovers he's been hiding two beautiful secrets all along: Charlie and Remi, the children he loves more than anything, and a painful, complicated past he's spent years trying to keep buried. Behind the stern exterior lies a man who was trapped into fatherhood, betrayed by the woman who was supposed to stand beside him, and left to build a life out of nothing but love and duty. As Lucy steps further into his world, what begins as a quiet understanding grows into something deeper - she learns that family isn't defined by blood or perfect beginnings, but by who stays, who protects, and who chooses to love through every broken piece. Behind the badge lies a devoted father, a man who was betrayed and left to build a family out of nothing. Lucy Chen didn't just learn who he really was - she became the home he never thought he'd find. Together, they face old wounds, shocking truths, and the return of the woman who once tore their lives apart. But through it all, Lucy finds the real Tim: devoted, gentle, and stronger than anyone ever knew. And in the end, she doesn't just fall for the man - she becomes part of the family he worked so hard to save.

Based on the rookie The Bradford family has always relied on two things: each other, and the unshakable protection of Sergeant Tim Bradford. But when a stranger steps out of the shadows and targets their baby girl, Remi, their carefully built world is turned upside down. What begins as a moment of fear quickly spirals into a battle for truth and safety. Faced with lies, a twisted claim of kinship, and a system that demands proof, Tim and Lucy must stand firm - even when the only witness is their tiny, two‑year‑old daughter. With only her voice, her drawings, and the unbreakable bond of their family, they have to fight to stop a threat that refuses to stay locked away. In a story of courage, loyalty, and fierce love, they learn that innocence may be small - but it is never weak. And the truth, no matter how simply told, is always powerful enough to set them free.

Based on the rookie TW: WILL CONTAIN SMUT! Lucy's spent four months telling herself it's enough. Chris is kind. He's steady. He's... fine. But fine doesn't keep her up at night wondering what she's missing. Fine doesn't explain why every time they're together she has to pretend - pretend she feels something she simply doesn't, pretend the disappointment isn't crushing her every single time, pretend size doesn't matter, that effort doesn't matter, that being left wanting every single time doesn't slowly hollow you out inside. It's not his fault, she tells herself. He's just... small. In every way that counts. And Lucy - quietly, achingly - is tired of settling. Tired of faking it. Tired of leaving every encounter feeling empty and unseen. Until the night she finally walks away. Until the night everything changes. Until the man she's loved longer than she's been willing to admit shows her exactly what she's been craving all along - passion, depth, intensity, and a connection so overwhelming it leaves her breathless and completely, utterly satisfied in a way she never even dared to imagine was possible. For the first time in her life, she doesn't have to pretend. She doesn't have to lie. She doesn't have to settle. But when morning brings more than just happy memories - when a sudden, terrifying realisation changes everything - Lucy is left wondering: was it worth it? Or has she ruined the best thing she's ever found, before it even truly began? (IF U CAME FROM MY ONESHOTS CONTINUE FROM THE CHAPTER NAMED ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK)

Based on the rookie TW: will contain smut!! Tim Bradford and Ashley have been together for almost three months, and a trip to Hawaii was supposed to be their perfect fresh start - sun, sea, and a future together. But there's one thing neither of them can ignore: Remí. Remí is Sergeant Grey's little niece, barely two years old - tiny, gentle, and still carrying so much heartbreak after losing her father, Tim's best friend, in the line of duty. With her mother unable to care for her, Remí has become a huge, beloved part of Tim's life: the little girl who calls him her best friend, who clings to him when she's scared, and who he would move heaven and earth to keep safe and loved. Ashley has never hidden how much she dislikes children, and the thought of sharing their holiday - and Tim - with Remí fills her with nothing but frustration. But Remí isn't just a responsibility to Tim; she's family. And when things fall apart, it's Lucy - his oldest, closest friend, the one person who has always seen every part of him - who steps in, not just for him, but for the little girl they both already love. If Ashley can't make space for the people who matter most to him... then where does that leave any of them?

(Based on the rookie with Tim and Lucy and their 2 year old daughter Remi!) When an undercover operation stretches far longer than planned, Tim and Lucy find their lives turned upside down - forced to play a happy family with a stranger, while their own baby girl begins to mix up what is real and what is just a lie. Locked inside a gilded penthouse, lines start to blur. The woman pretending to be Tim's wife begins to act like it, their daughter calls her "Mama," and Lucy is left watching from the sidelines, feeling invisible and forgotten. But beneath every act, every smile, and every secret touch, the truth remains: their love is stronger than any cover story. Between the pressure of catching criminals, the confusion of their daughter, and the temptation of the role they have to play, they'll have to hold onto each other tighter than ever - because when the masks finally fall, only what's real will be left standing.
