Hey, sorry for another brainworking, but this has been in my head for a while now. This one is abouit our beloved Chenford and their future as married couple and future parents. This is gonna be little longer so I'm sorry but I think its worths to think about it.
I suddenly started to see a lot of AI pictures of pregnant Lucy on almost every social media I have. I know we wanna see Chenford happy family but man.
Here's the thing, I guess we all kow that everytime characters became pregnant on the show, Angela and Nyla, it was because atresses, Mekia and Alyssa, became pregnant in real life. Plus I think everytime fans or interviews aksed if Lucy is prenant, her actress, Melissa, said shes not (ergo, Melissas not pregnant). And thats where I've starte thinking.
Do you remember in The Rookie 4x05 Halloween episode Lucy said her mom (who I still hate) paid for Lucys eggs to be frozen and stored at a fertility clinic. Now we still don't know if she actually did it, but honestly, I think she did. Sorry but A: after soo many accidental pregnancies, and not even in THIS show, I dont want Chenford to be th same cliché, and B: Alexi said in s5 Tim and Lucy were very sexualy active and, lets be honest, after s7 and s8 I think they've kept going, so if they'd really became a cliché it would be already done, or Tim is just really really careful (someone needs to be, right Wesley, right James?). And since they already discused baby names (7x15), I think it would be nice to see them having an actual serious convo about starting a family together, and not that akward like Nolan and Bailey.
And Idk how about you but can pisture it pretty well: Tim and Lucy in their living room/ bedroom, talking about having a baby, going to the clinic, if she really got her eggs frozen and maybe started trying. And unlike other actresses, if Melissa won't be pregnant in the future, they could fake the pregnancy belly like they do in the movies of other shows ya know?
But, BUT, if they don't and they really making characters pregnant because actresses became pregnant, then I would really love to see another option for them, which is adoption. I've been imagining Tim and Lucy adopting a child that desperatly wants home and family, maybe not a baby but mostly older kiddo, and it was to cute and bautiful picture to not want this version of family. I still can't decide if they would have adopoted girl or boy, mostly girl 'cause I wanna see Tim as a girl dad. But then I remembered s7 when Nolan and Baile wanted to adopt, but the social worker they should have a meeting about that told them with such a dangerous history and experiences they have, no adoption agancy will ever let them adopt, which is really sad. And thean there is Chenford: Tim as former military, Lucy been burried alive, now both of them kidnnaped and I hate to go to the fandom and see "unknown" as their status. After that I've strted to be pretty much sceptical about them adopt kid when Nolan and Bailey couldn't.
I was kinda sad, because we prob not gonna see this kind of picture, but on the other hand I was happy because we prob not have to go through the same thing over and over again, ya know? So I think that maybe Tim and Lucy could get pregnant with Lucys frozen eggs and the show can have an actual planned pregnancy, or if she didn't do it, 'cause we still don't know for sure she did it or didn't, it would be nice to see them trying. Plus I kinda miss the s5 horny Chenford vibes. BUT, if Alexi can change mind, or script, and in the show they could make an exepton and Tim and Lucy would really adopt I would love to see that too.
