Mia stared up at Derek in confusion. "What are you thanking me for?" "For giving me a family and making me the happiest man alive." He said.

Mia felt tears swell up in her eyes and grabbed his face, smashing their lips together. She kept her forehead pressed to his. "I'm happy you followed me that day into the music room." She said quietly, her eyes shone with love as she stared at the man she loved. A/N: There will be no Paige. Seasons (3-4)

Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford fell in love with eachother at the age of fifteen. They both had complicated lives at home and found peace with eachother. And on Tim's sixteenth birthday their relationship took a step that would change their lives forever. That night was the night they both felt safest in their entire lives and one thing lead to another. About a month later Lucy found out she was pregnant and she tried her best to hide it from her parents for two months but her body started changing so she broke down and told them. She thought they would be supportive and help her through it but instead they started yelling. After a few days of arguing, they agreed to let her keep it so for the next six months Lucy hid her pregnancy from everyone except her parents and Tim. But when she gave birth, her parents kept Tim out of the loop and didn't tell Lucy their plan. They had put Lucy's baby up for adoption and we're taking Lucy and moving to D.C. For years Lucy completely ignored her parents presence and their relationship shattered, especially since they refused to tell her anything about her daughter or let her contact Tim. For years Tim thought Lucy had chosen to keep him from his daughter and that resulted in his permanent horrible mood.

He only ever smiled around his friends, Mom and sister, but even then it was always like he was forcing it. Until Lucy transferred to his station from D.C. Over the next five years they got back together, got married and had a daughter who they named Addy and that grumpy cop nickname disappeared.

(The Rookie) When Lucy Chen faces an unexpected pregnancy, her life splits in two directions she never saw coming. Years later, fate brings her back to Tim Bradford - the man she once loved and lost - and the truth they share forces them to confront heartbreak, healing, and the fragile hope of a second chance. Together, they learn that family can be rebuilt, trust can be earned, and love can return in the slow, steady ways that matter most.

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."
