Chapter Text
Maeve Chen-Bradford, daughter of Lucy Chen-Bradford and Tim Bradford. Daughter of both sergeants, the one who leads the Mid-Whilshire station. Behind their normal life is a life nobody knows.A life hidden from the people who thought they knew them. A life behind laws and protocols.
“Maeve, did you attend your class?” Lucy said while she was preparing for their breakfast.
“I did, mom. Are you tracking me? You know I don’t like that.” She replied while rolling her eyes, Tim saw it.
“I saw that, Maeve. You know that your mom and I were just protecting you, princess. People gossip, people track. Little did we know our life is already in danger.” Tim explained while he was approaching his wife and kissed her cheeks.
“Good morning, my Lucy.” He smiled at her.
“Good morning, hon. How’s your sleep?” Lucy said while staring at her husband. Maeve got a little cheesy.
“Stop flirting in front of me.” Maeve acted like she was disgusted by it, but she was indeed happy about it.
“You know, Princess, that I cannot do this at work, right? Everyone thought your mom and I were single. As much as we want to flaunt our relationship to everyone, we cannot. We have to protect our family.” Tim explained again. Maeve nodded with full understanding.
“But aunt Angela knew about us. We all know how a yapper she is.”
“But she knows how to keep a secret. And we have been friends since we were kids. She’s like a sister to me aside from your aunt Genny.”
“Stop with that curiosity, as long as we are safe here, we’ll stay here.” Lucy said softly.
“Aye, mom.” Maeve replied, and jumped out of her chair and went to her room to prepare for her first class.
Maeve is 18, and her parents allowed her to have her own car.
“Take care,princess.” Tim bids his goodbye and kisses Maeve’s temple.
Lucy and Tim were left all alone at their home. After seeing Maeve drive away her car, Tim grabbed Lucy’s waist and kissed her deeply. As their kisses deepened,Lucy was pushed towards the counter, and Tim found this as a great opportunity to lift his wife to the countertop. Soft moans went out of Lucy’s mouth.
“Tim… Fuck. I want you.” Lucy whispered. Tim just got hardened with Lucy’s plead. Lucy can feel how hard Tim is right now.
“Let’s continue this in our room, my wife.” Tim said, smirking. He carried his wife in a bridal style towards their bedroom and softly lay her down.
“Tim…” His name echoed through the room.
“Patience, Luce.”
He touched her all through her sensitive parts of her body, and all Lucy could do was to moan and whimper due to the amazing pleasure he gave her.
“I want you inside me… now… Tim.” She begged again. And without a doubt, Tim inserted himself between Lucy’s thigh with her folds completely wet, making it easy to swim into her.
Soft moans filled their room, taking their time to make love.
“Fuck.. I am cumming.” Lucy arched her back as pleasure took over.
“Come inside me.” Lucy begged and Tim respectfully obeyed. He came inside her.
They were out of breath, panting all over the room.
“Best sex we ever have, isn’t it?” Tim lying on top of Lucy, kissing her neck,and Lucy letting out a soft moan as Tim continued to give her pleasure.
“ Making love.” She corrected.
“ Indeed.” He agreed.
“I love you.” He whispered again. This time it was not just pleasure that Lucy felt, it was love and belongings from the man she truly loved.
“I love you more, Tim.” She responded between moans.
After making love, they went to a short sleep and savoured their day off.
They slept for hours so that they didn’t notice it’s time for dinner already.
“Wakey wakey, my beautiful wife.” Tim kissed her cheeks with their sheets laid over them.
“5 minutes, babe.” Tim showered her with kisses to fully wake her up.
“Maeve is coming home in an hour, honey. We really have to get up and take a shower.” Tim explained.
“Fine.” Lucy said, opening her beautiful eyes, and stared at the man who was begging her to get up.
“You are lucky you are handsome and I can’t resist it.”
They jumped out of their bed and proceeded to their bathroom, they took a shower, and after taking a shower they went to the kitchen and cleaned up all the messes they made earlier. Tim started preparing for their dinner. While Tim was cooking, soft arms from behind embraced him. He held her hands, swaying, while he was cooking.
“I want this peace, Tim. I want this… forever.” Lucy said while she was hugging her husband from behind.
“Remember when we were young, 20 something? I promised you forever, Lucy. And I will live with that promise till my last breath.” Tim gives her an assurance.
“But we don’t know what will happen, Tim. We got Maeve, we were too young that time. We were naive, we don’t know what we are doing. I am scared that something might happen and break us all apart. You cannot stop me from worrying, Tim. We have those bad guys trying to catch us and break us.” Tim stopped what he was currently doing, and Tim placed Lucy beside him. He cupped her cheeks, and kissed her forehead.
“We might have had Maeve when we were too young, but she is our greatest gift. We had her while we were figuring out what to do with the life that we grew up with. But one thing for sure, I will make sure that no one will hurt this family. I will face hell and fire for the both of you. I will kill if I have to. Because behind the law and protocols, we are the Chen and Bradford, and this family doesn't let any criminals walk free.” Tim reassures his wife once again, Lucy nods, and reach her husband’s lips and place a soft kiss.
“I will do the same thing. For you and Maeve.” Lucy replied.She was about to turn her back to Tim when Tim grabbed her waist and slowly swept her hair behind her ear.
“Just promise me… You’ll come back home, safe and sound.” Lucy nodded.
“Safe and sound. Promise me you’ll do the same.” Tim nodded.
“I promise, my love.” They kissed softly and were about to get deeper when they heard the door open.
“Eww, gross.” Maeve uttered while she was staring at her parents.
“We are your parents, princess.” Lucy replied, and went to her daughter and embraced her. Maeve was clueless about what was currently happening.
“We love you, Maeve. We are so happy that we have you in our life, I will not change this with anything.” Lucy said and kissed her daughter’s cheeks.
“Since when did you get taller?” She asked, looking at her daughter like she was her world.
“I am 18, mom.” Maeve said trying to get away from her mother, but Tim inserted himself to them, and hugged them tight.
“She got your genes, Bradford.” Lucy teased him.
“I cannot breathe.” Maeve said. Tim and Lucy even hugged her tighter.
“Mom… dad… What is going on?” They let go of the hug and looked at their daughter’s eyes.
“Nothing. We are just so happy that we have you, and so grateful that God allows us to become your parents.” Tim said with his eyes being glassy.
The married couple both thought that life is too short, and anything can happen any time.
“Well, I am also lucky and happy that you are my parents. And I will not trade it with anything. So, let’s have dinner because I am so hungry.” Then Tim remembered that he stopped what he was doing earlier.
“Oh shit. Sorry Princess. I just got distracted with your mom’s beauty, I forgot that I was cooking earlier.” Tim said and ran to the kitchen and finished what he was doing.
Lucy and Maeve were just laughing.
“Dad loves you so much, mom. And I am very happy that he is my father and you are my mother.” Maeve said, looking at her mom with softness and gentleness.
“I hope when the time comes, you’ll find someone who will love you the same way your father loves me, and takes care of you the way your father takes care of you. We showered you with so much love so that you will not look for it in other people. Maeve, promise me… When life gets hard, you’ll run to us first, and we will come running to you.” Lucy said while helping her daughter settle down.
“Sure, mom. I promise.” Maeve replied and gave her mom a quick kiss on her cheeks.
The dinner went well. They shared laughter, and stories that only a few people could understand.
“So both of you are back to work tomorrow?” Both of her parents nodded.
“Yes. It was a well spent day off, next time when you don’t have school, let’s go travelling.” Both heads of the ladies he loved turned on him.
“Really dad?” Really babe?” They exclaimed in unison. And Tim giggled and nodded.
“Uh huh. Real and true.” Tim assured.
“We love you.” Lucy and Maeve said in unison showing Tim their hands forming a heart.
“That’s cheesy. Stop it.” Tim said while laughing.
Their night ended well. And tomorrow is a new day for the three of them. Little did they know that after this night, their lives will change.
