"Daddy!" Logan and Lila yelled running into the room.
"Hey guys!" Tim said matching their energy as best he could.
"Daddy are you sick?" Lila asked. Lucy and Tim looked at each other for a second not knowing how to answer the question.
"Yeah baby daddy's sick." Lucy answered for Tim.
"Mommy when is daddy coming home? Logan asked looking up at Lucy. A tear slid down her cheek.
"Im not sure baby. Soon hopefully." Lucy answered while Harper and Angela walked in.
"Hey Bradford." Harper said. Tim winced trying to sit up some more. Lucy looked at him worried. She stood up.
"Hey guys how about we go find something to eat?" Lucy asked the twins.
"Yeah!" They responded. Lucy looked at Tim.
"I'll be right back I promise!" She said leaning down to kiss him gently.
"Come on guys." Lucy directed the twins toward the door. Lucy took them to the cafeteria to get some food.
"Mommy can I have a cookie?" Lila asked, pulling on Lucy's arm.
"Of course baby. Do you want one too Logan?" Lucy asked. Logan nodded but didn't say anything. Lucy squatted down to Logan.
"Hey. Is everything alright?" She asked.
"Is daddy going to be okay?" He asked. Lucy got a panicked look on her face.
"Of course! Daddy is going to be just fine." She told him. "Now who wants a cookie?"
After they finished eating, Lucy took the kids back to Tim's room. Upon entry, she noticed no one was there and Tim was asleep.
"Come here guys. How about we take a little nap until Uncle Grey comes to get you and take you home." Lucy whispered, walking the twins to the couch. They got settled in and were asleep soon after.
Lucy went backed over and sat in the chair by Tim. She grabbed his hand and fell asleep too.

"Hey Bradford." Sergeant Grey said as he entered the room. He walked over to the twins and gently woke them up.
"Hey sergeant." Tim replied.
"Who's ready to go home?" Grey asked the kids. Both smiled and raised their hands.
"Daddy, is mommy okay? She was crying a lot earlier." Lila asked. Tim and Grey looked at each other for a moment before answering.
"Yeah. She's just really tired. She will be okay." Tim said, squeezing Lucy's hand a little.
"Bye daddy!" The twins yelled as they left the room. Lucy stirred in the chair as Tim sat still, knowing she needed this sleep. He couldn't even begin to think the amount of stress he put her in.
