Summary
A routine domestic call changes everything when Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford find a three-year-old girl alone in the middle of chaos. While they wait for CPS to respond, Lucy volunteers to care for her temporarily. But “temporary” has a way of turning into something more, and Lucy quickly realizes she’s in over her head—with parenting, with balancing the job, and with the man who’s always at her side.

Summary
In this heartwarming Chenford AU, Lucy Chen is a dedicated single mom juggling life and motherhood when she reluctantly joins a gym.

Their connection sparks during training sessions, but it deepens unexpectedly when Tim runs into Lucy and her outspoken two-year-old daughter Emma at the grocery store. A casual run-in turns into an invitation for coffee—marking the beginning of something new and unexpected for all three of them.

Summary
There are probably few people as diametrically opposed as Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen in the city of Los Angeles.
Roughest training officer at the Mid-Wilshire station, Bradford lives by control, routine, and rules that leave little room for anything else.
Lucy Chen, owner of a small library, finds peace in quiet spaces and the steady rhythm of books.
They were never supposed to meet, but somehow, they keep crossing paths anyway.

Summary
Bradford takes a turn, pushing the door to the stairwell open, "you're leading the ASD today. Let's see what you've got. A fellow's real skills or the name of Patrick and Vanessa Chen's daughter."
Lucy takes a deep breath. That moment, she resents the assumption that doors were opened for her because of her last name, that a path was written for her by Patrick and Vanessa Chen, that her way here was basically guaranteed all because she was born into a family of surgical legends.
