Lucy Chen survived the worst day of her life. Healing, though, comes in unexpected forms. Sometimes it looks like quiet evenings after tough shifts, soft clothes borrowed from Tim's closet, and letting herself be small in the one place she feels completely safe. A series of interconnected Chenford age regression oneshots. © PARE1D0L1A (jinxxd), 2026

Tim Bradford runs LA's biggest real estate empire and after a brutal, public divorce, he's decided love isn't worth it. He doesn't do soft. He doesn't do coffee. Then he meets Lucy. Nineteen, broke, working the counter of a shop two blocks from his office, completely unbothered by his reputation. He starts showing up every morning for coffee he doesn't even like. She starts looking forward to seeing him more than she'll admit. An empire built on control. A girl who won't be handled like one of his deals. A seventeen-year gap neither of them can outrun.

Sergeant Wade Grey, 48 years old a sergeant/ Watch Commander at Mid-Wilshire station. At the station he is strict but at home with his loving wife and daughter he is completely soft, caring and loving until.... Lucy Chen 23 years old a p2 at the same station as her father Wade Grey. Is falling for....... And when her dad finds out about she is dating him he is not happy! Sergeant Tim Bradford 32 years old, dating Lucy Chen the daughter of the Watch Commander what he didn't know at first and at a day when they where at Lucy her home....

Tim's mouth was on her neck before she even got her jacket off, Lucy's back hitting the wall of the hallway as she tugged at his belt. "She'll be home in thirty minutes," he muttered against her skin, and Lucy just laughed softly, already wrapping one leg around him. "Then we'll be quick." It was almost mechanical at this point - familiar and practiced, like they'd done this a hundred times before because they had. Tim hitched her up, and Lucy's fingers dug into his shoulders as she guided him exactly where she needed him, no hesitation, no fumbling. She'd stopped feeling guilty months ago; now it just felt like routine, like something built into both their schedules that neither of them questioned anymore. He was rougher than he used to be - less careful, more impatient - and she didn't mind. When he pushed into her she let out a breath that was more relief than surprise, her head falling back against the wall. Twenty-eight minutes, she thought, and then stopped thinking altogether.

For two years, everything seemed perfect. A shared home. The same uniform. The same future. Tim and Lucy. What connected them was more than love-it was trust and the belief that shared goals are strong enough to withstand any challenge. Until one decision changes everything. When Lucy becomes unintentionally pregnant, she makes a choice that feels unavoidable to her. Her career is just beginning, her future within reach-and she is not ready to give it up. For Tim, however, the unborn life is already real. Hope. A future. Something he cannot let go of. What follows is an argument. A battle between love and conviction. Between the right to decide over one's own body and the desire for a shared future. Even though they still love each other, it is no longer enough. The separation comes without many words, but with final consequences. New cities. New relationships. New roles. And yet something remains unresolved. Guilt. Loss. Unfinished feelings. Months later, it is the next step in their careers that forces them back together-at Mid-Wilshire. Professional. Controlled. Distant. But when a joint undercover assignment forces them into close proximity, those boundaries begin to falter. Old wounds reopen. Feelings that never disappeared demand their place once more. They know they are going too far. They know they are breaking promises they made to others. They know that sometimes love is not enough to forgive. And yet they find themselves drawn deeper and deeper into something they once believed they had lost. Because what if you can't escape love? What if some decisions destroy everything-except what you feel for each other?

In desperation of not falling harder for Lucy, Tim decides that she will not be his gopher anymore. Before he breaks the news to Lucy his plan is to enjoy one last shift together, but it doesn't go as planned and he ends up in the hospital. In worry Tim's mom comes to the hospital and Lucy needs to act like her and Tim are dating when that is definitely not the case, they are just friends, at least that's what they tell themselves. Set around season 4.

But everything shatters when someone she thought she'd escaped returns, threatening the fragile peace she's created. As her world crumbles, Tim becomes the one steady place she can turn to, and together they begin to discover what it truly means to build a family.
