Chenford AU Fic Teaser (currently without name)
Lucy knew she lived in a terrible building. It was hardly her fault that it was the best she could afford when she had to move to LA. However, she never thought that it was bad enough that sheād end up having to shelter a cop in her apartment, when some idiot decided to shoot up the place.
She also hadnāt realized that her desire to be helpful apparently was stronger than her own self-preservation until sheād found herself opening the door amidst the sound of gunfire and letting a police officer take shelter in her apartment.
It had seemed like a good idea at the time.
Then again, sheād also convinced herself that the pain sheād been feeling all morning had been Braxton Hicks, and not real labour. The rush of wetness she now felt running down her leg had her thinking she might have been wrong about that as well.
āHey Officer Bradford, was it?ā she said to the man holding a gun by her apartment door.
āWhat is it maāam?ā he replied, barely glancing back over his shoulder to look at her.
āWhat are the chances weāre getting out of this apartment anytime soon?ā
āThe armed gunman currently working his way through your building has already killed one person and shot at multiple cops, and you think itās a good idea to leave the building? What could possibly be so important?ā
āMy water just brokeā she replied in a soft voice.
That got his attention. The uniformed officer briefly lowered his weapon and turned to face her. āAre you sure?ā
Lucy chuckled. āPretty sure.ā
āAny chance you can hold it?ā
Lucy looked at him in disbelief. āYou did not seriously just ask me thatā.
