Chapter 17

Lucy woke with a start and was confused by her surroundings. When she felt someone move next to her, for a split second she froze, but the moment Tucker reached out and touched her, she breathed out a sigh of relief.

“Are you okay?” Tucker asked, as he sat up in the bed and looked at Lucy with concern. She just turned to him and smiled before she leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips.

“I couldn’t be better,” she said, looking up into his eyes. “It just still feels weird not to be waking up in my own bed back in New York. For the last six years, I have woken up, looking at the same walls, always on my own. This is all very new to me. It will take a little getting used to.”

“Well,” Tucker said as he leaned over and kissed her bare shoulder. “I could get used to this very easily.”

Tucker suddenly sighed as if he had thought of something.

“What is it?” Lucy asked. “What’s wrong?”

“I need to talk to the chief,” Tucker replied, and Lucy couldn’t help but smile.

“He means a lot to you, doesn’t he?” She said as she reached up and touched his face. This was all so new to her; she never imagined she would feel so at ease touching someone, much less them touching her, but she loved to touch Tucker. It was like she had come home.

“The chief is my only real family, Lucy,” Tucker replied honestly. “I don’t even know when the last time I talked to my mom was? I called her on her birthday; I think that was the last time we spoke.”

“Well,” Lucy said leaning in closer to Tucker and pressing her forehead to his. “For what it’s worth, I think it’s her loss because I think you are pretty damn awesome.”

Tucker smiled before he kissed her tenderly on the lips.

“I have to go to the station this morning,” he said, looking into Lucy’s eyes. “But I will stop by the hospital later and talk to your dad, and tell him I am falling for his beautiful daughter.”

Lucy’s smile faded.

“You know, he is as upset about what happened between you two, as you are,” Tucker said, knowing what it was that Lucy was worried about.

“It’s funny,” Lucy sighed. “For the last nine years, everything between us has been perfect. We never argued, never disagreed, but since I came back here, it’s like we have become two different people.”

“That’s not true,” Tucker quickly replied. You are still you, and the Chief is still the Chief. These things have always been there, you finally coming home has just made the both of you face them.”

“Do you think we can get past this?” Lucy asked sadly.

“Of course, you can,” Tucker said, then kissed her bare shoulder. “But you both need to talk honestly to each other.”

“I guess we will,” Lucy smiled, then pressed her lips to his once more.
