Chapter 67

*The nurse comes back with a wheelchair*

Nurse : So, the doctor explained everything to you
Tim : yes
Nurse : great, I will help to get on the wheelchair

*The nurse and Lucy help him*

Lucy : let me help you put your sweatshirt on
Tim : thanks

*The nurse hangs Tim's IV on the wheelchair*

Nurse : everything's good, you can go out
Tim : finally, thank you
Nurse : you're welcome, I'm sorry I gotta go, I have other patients to see
Tim : no problem

*The nurse leaves*

Tim : let's go
Lucy : wait a minute, let me put my shoes on
Tim : you're so slow, come on, hurry up Luce
Lucy : yes yes, I'm coming
Tim : hey don't worry I'm kidding, take your time, we're not in a rush
Lucy : okay I'm ready, we can go

*Lucy pushes Tim to the small hospital garden*

Tim : *inhales* some fresh air, I missed that
Lucy : where do you wanna go ?
Tim : can we just sit in the grass and enjoy ?
Lucy : of course we can

*Lucy helps Tim get out of the wheelchair and sit in the grass*

Lucy : how do you feel ?
Tim : happy, and you
Lucy : me too, I'm happy to see you like that
Tim : *lays down in the grass* I missed these simple little moments spent with you
Lucy : *puts her head on Tim's chest* yeah me too
Tim : last time we had a moment like this was just before...
Lucy : no Tim... No... There's no need to remind this moment
Tim : thank you
Lucy : for what ?
Tim : being there the whole time
Lucy : you were there for me too when I was...
Tim : I'll be there for you everyday, every hour and every minute, anytime you'll need me, even if you don't know it
Lucy : I love you Tim
Tim : I love you too Lucy
Lucy : Do you think we can go back on patrol together when we go back to work? I don't feel like patrolling alone
Tim : you don't have to patrol alone, you go on patrol with Aaron or John
Lucy : yes but that's not the same, I miss patrolling with you
Tim : wait, did you just say that you miss patrolling with me ?
Lucy : yes
Tim : but I made you go through hell when you were just a rookie
Lucy : yes and I wouldn't be the cop I am know without you. I was too weak.
Tim : and now you're a very good cop
Lucy : there's one thing I thought about for a few months and I wanted to have your approval
Tim : for what ?
Lucy : it's about my career
Tim : you know that you don't need my approval for your career, you can do anything you want
Lucy : yes, but I still need your approval
Tim : okay, for what ?
Lucy : I want to pass the detective exam
Tim : really ?
Lucy : I know it may be a bad idea but...
Tim : no don't say that, you'd be great
Lucy : you really think that ?
Tim : yes of course, and Angela and Nyla could help you, you'd work with them
Lucy : so you're not mad ?
Tim : why would I be mad ?
Lucy : it means that I'll have to work more
Tim : yes but that's not a problem, we could try to take our days off at the same time
Lucy : yes
Tim : did you tell Angela and Nyla that you want to become a detective?
Lucy : not yet, I wanted to talk with you first
Tim : Lucy, I need to tell you something
Lucy : what ?
Tim : don't let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't do, not even me, it's your career, it's up to you to decide
Lucy : thank you for supporting me Tim
Tim : that's what boyfriends are supposed to do
