My Two-cents On The Breakup

My two-cents on the breakup

I've finally pushed myself to rewatch 6X06 again. I often rewatch a rookie episode multiple times a week, especially on weekends (yes, I know, no life). But this rewatch was really, really hard. I know Chenford are endgame, and this breakup is just a bump in the road, but it still hurts.

However, my issue with the breakup is why did the writers spend over five years building this beautiful love story just to tear them apart? Haven't Tim and Lucy been through enough already? Did they really need more pain? Drama is one thing, but is a breakup the only way to create it?

Lucy and Tim have been shown as two people who healed each other in more ways than one, thus it becomes more difficult to see how Tim walked away from Lucy giving her a new trauma for life. This trauma is definitely leaving a scar on her for life as she is someone who often struggles with self-doubt, spiraling thoughts, and a lack of validation from her parents. Thus, losing Tim, the one person who made her feel good about herself, will wreck her in devastating ways. How will she ever cope? How will she trust anyone ever again? How will she survive losing the man she considered home?

Hence, I think bringing them back together this time will be tough for the writers. They've complicated the whole journey back to each other quite difficult if not impossible.

When Lucy is pregnant (not anytime soon) maybe in season 7 or 8. Post her fairytale wedding and dreamy honeymoon and of course a minimum of 2 golden tickets. I want a scene where Celina walks to her and says, "I can see a soul protecting you and the little one growing inside you. A soul with the brightest smile, calming presence and who is the bravest of all."

Celina says this to Lucy even before Lucy has told anyone about her pregnancy, not even Tim.

Then the same night she dreams of Jackson and they have a talk.

OMG!!!! I am gonna turn this into a fic soon.😍

I feel Tim will be one of those husbands who will not have anything that his wife (Lucy) won't be allowed to have while she's pregnant with their baby.♥️

Tim will let go of alcohol, sushi, deli or cured meat, caffeine etc to be supportive.😍

Tim will also be the kind who will give Lucy daily foot rubs at night, talk to her belly, and wake up in the middle of the night to bring whatever she craves.❣️
