Work Text:
the quiet clink of a teaspoon hitting the sides of a mug, the smell of tea filling the breakroom of mid-wilshire station. lucy hums a tune she heard on the radio earlier that morning, a smile spreading on her face as she takes a sip of her warm tea.
“what’s got you smiling?”
lucy turns to see her friend and co-worker, john nolan walking in, she hands him a granola bar from where they reside beside the coffee machine. he nods a thank you. lucy replies, “nothing, just a normal day.”
“mmhm..” hums john. lucy raises her eyebrows, pretending to be offended by his questioning tone. “you seemed rather eager to leave the bar last night, what was that about?”
lucy shrugs, “just wanted to get home, long week y’know?”
nolan nods, “right. well i’m heading off to find celina before lunch, so i’ll see you later.” lucy hums and waves, sipping her tea. she makes her way to the seats, placing her tea down and immediately pulling out her phone. 2 messages showed on her lockscreen, a picture of her, tim and kojo. kojo sat in between the couple whilst lucy pecked a kiss on tim’s non-shaved face. she adored the scruff he’d gain after a few days, it looked adorable on him, well at least she thought so and that is all that mattered to him.
she opens her messages, seeing it was tim.
tim
hey luce, think i’m gonna be late tonight. don’t stay up too late 😉
i love you
lucy giggles at his small remark and began replying.
lucy
you know we’ll be waiting for you anyway babe, hoping we get lucky this time.
stay safe i love you too
lucy sighs, motioning her hand to her stomach. although her stomach looked and felt like a boulder, she was excited. terrified, but excited. “let’s get going, huh?” she whispers softly to her unborn baby girl, smiling as she kicks.
