Lucy and Aaron watched Angela and Tim leave and shut the door to clean outside.
"Okay. I know you and Tim fucked last night" Aaron states.
Lucy looks at him with wide eyes.
"Okay." She says simply, Aaron frowns.
"okay?" He asks curiously.
"you are correct we did." She says picking old gift wrap trash and putting it into a trash bag.
"Hah I knew eventually you will!" Aaron claps his hands happily.
"It was a mistake Aaron, don't get your hopes up" Lucy rolls her eyes and Aaron chuckles.
"You said that last time, the whole practice kiss and stuff when you two went undercover. Yeah Lucy I'm not falling for that again" Aaron chuckles and Lucy sighs turning to him.
"Aaron it's a mistake, me and Tim don't work" she says, aaron grabs a trash bag and also starts to pick up trash.
"No you guys do." Aaron corrects her and Lucy clicks her tongue.
"No we don't, we broke up" she replies and Aaron sighs.
"You guys broke up because Tim had to save his kids from that abusive bastard. Look fair enough we were all mad at him for it, and he did some shitty things to get into that position..but come on Lucy- he's been back several months and everyone's forgave him. He's proved he's a good man, and he's an incredible dad. He even jumped in front of a bullet for you..like come on" Aaron says while picking up trash.
Lucy didn't respond, so Aaron took the opportunity to ask her the question.
"Do you love him..like in love?" He asks and Lucy thinks for a while.
"I suppose" she admits.
"Well fucking tell him woman!" Aaron throws his hands in the air frustratedly.
Lucy couldn't respond because they both noticed Tim storm out of the garden gate through the patio doors, both of them looked at eachother wide eyed and ran over to angela and Tim.
"Where are you going Tim?!" Lucy snapped and Tim didn't answer he jumped into his truck and sped off.
"angela?!" Lucy asks angrily and angela sighs
"He knows about Ryan" angela states and Lucy covers her face with her good hand and her cast.
"Knows what?" Aaron asks and Lucy shakes her head.
"About Ryan breaking my wrist" she admits and Aaron steps back in shock.
"That was him?! I thought it was a sex injury" Aaron replies, receiving looks from the two women, he shakes his head "sorry" he mumbles.
"What on earth is he doing, it's the twins birthday- he won't do anything to ruin the rest of the day" Lucy shakes her head and Angela looks down at the floor.
"He isn't in a good mind frame Lucy, he hasn't been all day. Ashley sent him a letter saying when she gets out she's going to fight for custody. And that she was pregnant with his kid again but she aborted it" Angela explains and Aaron's and Lucy's eyes widen.
"What are we waiting for then?! We need to stop him from what ever he is going to do" Lucy snaps.
"No, me and Aaron will. You're staying with the twins." Angela stops Lucy and Lucy didn't argue, she knows that it's probably best as it's got something to do with Ryan.
Angela and Aaron check to make sure they have their guns and badges before taking Aaron's car and driving off.
Lucy groans and covers her face, she had to keep distracted, she decided to finish tidying the aftermath of the kids birthday party, who knew it would be so messy. It looked like a bomb went off.
She was picking up a few streamers off the floor when arlo comes in.
"Oh hey buddy I didn't see you there, is everything okay?" Lucy asks softly.
"Thirsty" he mumbles tiredly.
Lucy nods and goes to the fridge and pulls out a bottle of water and pours it into a sippy cup.
"There you go kiddo" Lucy says softly.
"Thanks miss lucy" he replies taking a few sips of the water.
"hey did you have a fun party?" Lucy asks him and he nods adamantly.
"It was awesome!!" He replies happily jumping on his feet
"I'm glad you enjoyed it, you and Avalynn are so big now" Lucy says happily.
"We are nearly as big as daddy, and daddy is tallllllll" arlo says.
Lucy chuckles "he is tall isn't he" she replies and arlo nods.
"can I tell you what my wish was?" Arlo asks now becoming shy, Lucy raises her eyebrows
"Sure if you want too.." she replies softly.
"I wish for you and daddy to be special friends" he replies cutely, Lucy softened and kneels infront of him and ruffles his hair.
"that's a good wish isn't it" Lucy smiles at him and he nods.
"You make daddy happy. Mommy didn't make daddy happy, daddy always was sad, but you are his happy place." Arlo says innocently
"He's my happy place too kiddo" she replies.
"daddy is my happy place too..where is daddy?" Arlo asks and Lucy shrugs.
"He is taking angela and Aaron home, he should he home soon. It's getting late why don't you go back to sleep huh?" Lucy asks and arlo nods but then glances at Lucy's broken wrist.
"Does it hurt?" He asks and Lucy shakes her head.
"Not really" she replies and arlo nods his head and looks at it curiously.
"You can sign it if you want?" Lucy asks and arlo jumps on his feet and nods.
"Yes!!" he claps, Lucy walks over to the pile of gifts and pulls out a colouring pen set and gives arlo a pen.
Arlo draws a smiley face with his initials 'AJB'
"Thank you kiddo" Lucy laughs
"your very welcome" he replies innocently, then he yawns.
"Why don't you go back to bed yeah?" She says and he nods and toddles off.
-
Aaron and angela gets into Aaron's car.
"Lucy told me she still loves him" Aaron says as he drives, angela pulls out her phone and tracks Tim's phone.
"Tim told me he loves her too" Angela replies and Aaron smirks.
"What, why you smiling?? Tim's literally threatened to kill someone" angela asks and Aaron shrugs.
"I bet you 50 dollars they'll be together with in the next week or two" Aaron says and Angela nods.
"And I bet they are together by the end of this week" she says and they shake on it.
They pull up to where Tim is and run inside..
