What if...
Set in the episode where Tim is exposed to the toxin.
"I'm going out on my own terms, im not letting this take over me" Tim shakingly said through the door holding the gun in his hand against his knee.
Lucy's heart sinks, with her back against the door she wipes the tears falling from her eyes, trying not to let out a sound so her TO doesn't hear. It's at this moment Lucy realises the feelings emerging from deep down for Tim.
Just as Lucy was about to respond to Tim Sgt Greys voice crackled through the radio. "Bradford, Chen, we've got the antidote time to come out". A breath of relief flew out of her mouth, she stood and headed for the door.
Lucy's out first the fresh air as she opens the
door hits her like a tonne of bricks, she wiped the sweat dripping from her face as she leaves the house, not realising how hot and flustered she actually was she steps further out and turns as she sees Tim getting the Injection.
They both lock eyes, for only a moment but feels like an entire lifetime they stare at each other, Lucy takes a step forward and is about to run to Tim for a hug before Tim drops to the floor infront of her. "I need a bus NOW" Lucy screams as she drops down and rolls Tim to his back.
They scoop Tim onto the gurney and load him into the back of the ambulance, Lucy jumps into the back and stays with Tim to the hospital.
Tim is drifting in and out of consciousness gasping for air between each breath, his eyes are rolling back but some how he still stares deep into Lucy, she's panicking trying her best to hold back the tears " Tim I'm here you've got this". Holding his legs down whilst the paramedic struggles to hold his arms and
shoulders back as he fights the oxygen mask..
Arriving at the hospital Tim is rushed straight inside, Lucy holds back standing in the back of the ambulance watching Tim being rushed away. She took a big deep breathe and walked in behind.
Pacing the corridor back and forth stopping at the sight of every doctor that came out the doors behind her.
Every emotion and feeling was rushing through her body.
Hours had passed when the doctor came out "he's going to be fine, it was touch and go for a few hours whilst we controlled the fitting, but there seems to be no long last effects from the antidote, more like an alleric reaction , his symptoms have subsided and after we keep him for observation tonight he can go home tomorrow".
"Can I see him?" Lucy blared out.
"Yes of course" and with that Lucy burst through the door into Tim's room.
"Don't you ever say that again to me?!" Lucy shouted at Tim sitting himself up in the bed.
"Woah woah calm down what do you mean?".
"Don't ever say goodbye like that again, I can't lose you like that do you hear me" Lucy wiped the tears from her eyes panting in anger still still staring at Tim.
Tim didn't know what to say or how to react he sat there speechless for once, is this how Lucy really feels about him?, he's never had someone care as much as Lucy has since Isabelle left to go undercover, all the feelings that he never knew he had for Lucy all came flooding to him, "I, I'm sorry Lucy, I mean I, I didn't know how you felt about me".
Lucy turned and walked out, knowing what she wanted to do to Tim would affect his and her career as police officers, especially in a hospital in her uniform.
She headed back to the station and clocked out, headed for the locker room, she changed
and drove home.
She immediately went straight for the fridge and for a bottle of wine.
After a few hours of drinking, Lucy is ready to climb into bed, she heard a knock at the door, thinking it might be Jackson checking in on her she opened the door "did you forget your Key" she laughed, she opened the door to see Tim stood infront of her.
Speechless she muttered "Tim you should be at the Hospital.
Tim took one breath before grabbing Lucy by the back of her hair and pulling her in for a meaningful kiss.
She stood back staring at Tim, trying to comprehend what just happened, was that real or is this the wine making her dream.
What felt like a day had passed, Lucy came too and reached back up grabbed the back of Tim's neck and went back for another kiss, Tim shuffled Lucy forward kicked the door behind him and continued to lock lips with each other...
