So With All The Complication Talks Going Around. I Am Kinda Scared For Chenford. They Have Been Through

I want The Rookie to give us the "Queen Charlotte-ish" drama that we deserve!!!😭

Daily Info

‘The Rookie’ Season 6 Episode 5 ”The Vow” Preview: A Chenford Mystery Unfolds

In the latest developments from ABC and series creator Alexi Hawley's "The Rookie," featuring Nathan Fillion, Eric Winter, and Melissa O'Nei

This scene will never not make me cry. Tim's vulnerability in here and the way he just melts in Lucy's embrace!😭

My only complaint about this year’s documentary episode:

WHERE.

WAS.

SMITTY.

I am not expecting much. I will be happy if we finally get Chris and Lucy break up which is long overdue!😏

Okay, this view of mine is a tad bit controversial and super unpopular-

I am one of those who doesn't want the Rookie showrunners to make Lucy's character pregnant anytime soon. I guess 3 accidental pregnancies are enough for one show. I know that those storylines were included because Alyssa and Mekia were pregnant in irl. So, more power to them and it was very progressive of the Rookie to include their pregnancies rather than hiding. But those two characters were quite settled career-wise when they got pregnant. On the other hand Lucy is just trying to find her footings. She needs to move forward in her career before she starts a family and she is pretty young, maybe 30. And only because she and Tim have a very active sex life doesn't mean she would get pregnant accidentally. I mean we live in the 21st century with access to proper protection. Also, I see Lucy as a planner so it will be very OCC of her.

Moreover, I also want Chenford to have a proper beautiful wedding with no mishaps and then a romantic honeymoon before they take up the responsibilities of a child. I want them to discuss and plan having kids which is definitely going to ensue plenty of comedy and teeny tiny angst.

However, it's just my view and most of us live in a free world where everyone is free to express their own views. So, please don't hate me for mine.

Thank you.😊

Ain't no one here to have fun. It's a job. That's what everyone keeps saying. Except so far, it's just been the world's lamest bachelor party.

| ANATOMY OF A SCENE - CHENFORD EDITION 5.01 - Double Down

What. A. Scene… And to think that it was merely the beginning! Their body language here is completely insane. The way Lucy just comes to sit on Tim's armchair, his arm draping around her right away so his hand can lay on her thigh… The casual way they play with each other's hands, almost caressing, intertwining their fingers… It's so natural, almost instinctual. There's no hesitation whatsoever, no sign of awkwardness. They're simply at ease. And in some ways, it's even bigger than the kiss. It's extremely intimate. It just shows how comfortable they are with each other… and for two people who are not even that affectionate with their respective partners, it says a lot. They are so tactile with one another, using their persona as an excuse to be this touchy. Only that wasn't really for their cover… It was for them. That's the irony of this : all this display was absolutely unnecessary. If anything, it actually pissed off the bad guys - although those guys should count their blessings coz they wouldn't have survived the real Sava and Jake… These two took their usual shorthand and built up from there, playing off each other perfectly, adding all these physical touches, as if it were a regular occurrence… Part of it was to ground each other… But mostly it was because they wanted to. And the fact that they didn't even have to rehearse or practice this part makes it so much more genuine and real!

This trio can kill us all with just their looks!!!🔥🥵

Chenford + Lucy's apartment

I will never get over the fact that Tim went from not crossing the threshold of Lucy's apartment to possessing a key of his own for the same.🥹😍

PS: They have such beautiful scenes in her apartment. Domestic Chenford in Lucy's apartment is just 🤌

Chenford + friends with benefits

Hi Anon! Hope you will like this. This is my first time writing a Tumblr prompt. I tried to do this prompt justice, and hopefully, you will like it.

"Babe, let's watch Friends with Benefits, a 2011 rom-com. This is one of my guilty pleasure movies," Lucy says as she curls up on her couch and covers herself with a quilt. It was her third day following her last UC assignment. After her and Tim’s much-needed sincere conversation, a long bath, and a 24-hour long sleep, Lucy finally feels like herself. Sergeant Grey has given Tim and her a week off, and they've spent the last one and a half days having their desired sexy time all over the apartment as Tamara is on a weeklong study tour with her classmates. As much as Lucy adores Tamara, she needed this week alone with Tim, especially after such an adrenaline-charged week.

Tim appears from the kitchen, holding a bowl of popcorn, and kisses Lucy on the forehead before settling down next to her. This causes her to melt into his gentle kiss. She scoots towards him and rests her head on his shoulder as he takes his seat next to her." He quips, "Yeah, we'll have to make do with it since you have already watched the new season of Top Chef without me, and that too after you made me promise not to watch it alone." She swats his chest and squeals "no" as she raises her head from his shoulder. She looks incredibly cute doing so. Too irresistible for him, who is still in a haze after their mid-evening sexy time. So, he simply puts the bowl of popcorn on the table and takes her face in between his palms, kissing her passionately. It is filthy and has the potential to turn into another couch sex session, but Lucy stops and says, "Babe, nah, I wanna watch this movie now, and later we can continue this in the bedroom after dinner. Furthermore, this caramel popcorn smells too good to waste. So, Bradford, keep your mouth and hands to yourself." Tim takes a breath and makes an effort to school himself, but he holds onto her nonetheless, drawing her even closer.

Lucy looks up into Tim's eyes and asks in a fake stern voice, "So, are we watching this movie or what?" while still in Tim's embrace. He says, "Yeah, yeah, play your movie," making a conscious effort to focus on something other than her large, exquisite brown eyes. She smiles and presses play, wrapping Tim and herself in the quilt as she snuggles next to him, and Tim wraps his arms around her shoulder. They become engrossed in the film once it begins. She observes that the film appears to have succeeded in eliciting some laughs from Tim. He laughs throughout the scene as he watches Mila Kunis' Jamie and Justin Timberlake's Dylan negotiate the terms of their arrangement before having sex. During the flash mob scene, she also notices Tim rolling his eyes at the screen. But as the credits start to roll, a smile spreads across his face.

"So, did you like the movie?", Lucy grins and inquires. "You call this a movie! Really? We just squandered an hour and 48 minutes of our lives watching this when we could have watched classics like It Happened One Night or Breakfast at Tiffany's," Tim says with mock disdain. This, however, does not fool her, as she remarks, "Huh, stop lying, Grandpa; you know I can read you. Right? And we've already seen those movies, and we like them, but you liked this as well," she said, raising an eyebrow and tickling his side. He finally gives up and lets out a hearty chuckle before saying, "Okay, okay, okay. I agree that it was not nearly as bad as I had anticipated, and I had a good time. However, it might have just been you; perhaps your adorable popcorn chewing made the movie bearable."

They've been dating for almost nine months, and yet a single compliment from Tim still makes her cheeks flush like a rose. She then scrunches her nose in a cat-like manner and gazes into his eyes. She gently pushes Tim away as he is about to pull her in for another round of couch make-out and says, "Neah. We'll watch No Strings Attached now. Okay, time for some trivia: Did you know that this movie and Friends with Benefits were both released in the same year and essentially share the same plot? Additionally, the No Strings Attached actor Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis from Friends with Benefits are married in real life. Another interesting fact: In real life, these two began as friends with benefits and fell in love within months. Exactly like in the movie!"

Tim scoffs and says, "Fools, they already did these two movies and still tried something stupid like this. Seriously, actors are just dumb people." Lucy furrows her brow and mocks, "Tim, by your logic, no one but the cops are intelligent. Isn’t it?" Tim says, "Damn straight," in an earnest voice and straight face. Lucy titters and exclaims, "Babe, you're hopeless!"

"Okay, tell me, do you think we could have ever been friends with benefits?" Lucy asks before Tim can respond. "Nope," Tim says, popping his P. "So, you're saying that if we weren't in this relationship and were both single, and I offered you to be my friend with benefits, you would have declined?" she inquires, a little perplexed. Tim nods and shakes his head, signaling ‘yes’. "You found me attractive before we started dating, right?", with a perplexed look on her face, she asks as she turns entirely to face Tim."I mean, yeah, of course, you did. The way you ogled at me at Lopez-Evers' first wedding! You did lust for me, didn't you?" she continues, speaking more to herself than to Tim. “Okay, to answer your questions chronologically: First, yes, I did find you attractive even then. To be completely honest, I liked you before it would have been appropriate for me to. Second, come on, I was just checking you out respectfully. The third and most importantly I have never merely lusted after you. And that's why I'd never been your friend with benefits," he replies, pressing his lips together in a line to hide a smile.

Lucy's now puzzled, so she stands up and asks, "So let me get this straight: you were attracted to me, and that's why you didn't want to fuck me? How does it add up, Sergeant Bradford? Could you please elaborate? Sir, just enlighten me with your seer wisdom." She continues after recalling what John had said to her after their first run-in with the Feds about Tim's hook-up with a CIA agent: "And don't you dare pretend as if it were some moral code or something, because I know about your little hook-up with Katie Hall during your army days." "Nolan and his big mouth!" Tim mutters under his breath. "Huh, what did you think just because you sent me back under the guise of assisting Lopez? I won’t get to know. We still diss our TOs. And when I say ‘still," I mean "STILL NOW." Lucy almost yells the last part with a combined expression of mischief and exasperation on her face.

Tim extends his hands and tugs Lucy into his lap on the couch, and in a very serene voice, he says, "Officer Lucy Chen, this Sergeant of yours was always awestruck by your enchanting presence. And no, it has nothing to do with my morals or honor; instead, it is entirely about you. I knew after our first hug that if I touched you intimately, there would be no going back. If we had crossed the line, I would have made sure that you were mine and mine alone, so I could never have remained just your friend who occasionally fucks you. I've always known that once I touched you, I'd kill anyone who even considered doing so. Lucy Chen: I had fallen in love with you long before I realized it."

Lucy looks up into his eyes, tears welling up in her own. They have both been aware of this since their first failed date, if not earlier, but they haven't had the courage to acknowledge it out loud yet. She doesn’t know how to respond because Tim proclaimed it with such nonchalance. So, she closes her eyes, cups Tim's face in her palms, and kisses him while stuttering, "I... I... love you too, Tim." As she opens her eyes, she drags a deep breath, and through her sobs, she declares in a whisper, "God, I'm not sure from exactly when, but maybe from the day I woke up with you reading Teen Rebel by my hospital bed," against his lips.

Tim gets up from the couch with Lucy wrapped around him, lifting her along as if she were a weightless bundle of clothes, and says with all the love in his voice, "Lucy, you have bewitched this hardass TO of yours since the day you set foot in my chaotic life. You brought me peace and stability. Baby, you made me a better person. And now I can't imagine going a single day without having you by my side." Tim then kisses her cheeks, wiping her tears away, and whispers, "Baby, now if you'll let me, I'd like to show you just how much I love you. Would you please allow me to worship you?" As the heat rises in her lower belly and her cheeks begin to flush, Lucy nods and gestures 'yes.' As Tim carries her into the bedroom, she thinks about how she never imagined that watching a mediocre rom-com would lead to a love confession. However, she simply closes her eyes and thanks the universe that it finally happened.

Happy international women's day to the amazing women of TheRookie & us all! 💜 Let’s pledge to channel their strength, resilience & power—on & off screen—into our lives too! ✨🫶
