Warnings mention and description of death, domestic abuse and self-harm.
Note: I've been working on the next part of The Dating Oddessey while listening to some music. 50 Ways To Say Goodbye by Train came on and gave me this idea. Didn't quite turn out how I wanted but its still pretty funny. Also you could take this to mean either Eddie or Buck has feelings for you. Not how I intended it but it's how it came out.
Tumblr media
...
Today you had finally done it. You had finally worked up the courage to break up with your horrible excuse for a human ex Bradley. You made sure to break up with him while he was working so you had witnesses. The last thing you needed was him gaslighting you back into the relationship like last time. With witnesses, it was harder for him to say the breakup never happened. 
Today had been planned out for weeks. Your best friends, Eddie and Buck, had been helping you slowly remove your stuff from his house for the last month and taking it to your Dad's place. You did have much, after all, Bradley didn’t allow you to have much. He had to control everything from the furniture to the decorations and even the food kept in the house.
Outside Bradley's workplace Buck and Eddie were waiting for you in Eddie's truck. Your Dad, Bobby, was their boss and had given them the day off to play bodyguard for you. When you walked out the front door with Bradley storming after you both boys were fast to jump out of the truck and jog towards you. Eddie wasn’t going to let him hurt you anymore and Buck didn’t want what happened to his sister Maddie to happen to you for that reason Eddie had hidden a lot of what Bradley had done to you from all your friends and even your Dad. Eddies had been the house you would hide in for days at a time while waiting for bruises to heal. Eddie had been the person to give you that final push you needed to leave. 
“What if next time he kills you y/n? Did you think of that?” Eddie slammed his fist onto his kitchen counter as you held a bag of frozen peas to your soon-to-be black eye. “Do you have any idea what that would do to me? To Chris? Hell, think about your father and Athena. The rest of our friends. We all love you y/n and yet you keep allowing yourself to be treated like shit. You know what if you're going to go back to him this time then I don’t want you in my house, take your things and leave” Eddie had left the kitchen, leaving you standing there shocked to your core. It scared you. More than the beatings. You didn’t want to lose Eddie as your friend, you didn’t want to hurt him or Chris, your family, your friends. Eddie was right enough was enough. 
After that night you had come clean with everyone about what was happening. Athena was quick to offer up their spare room for you and Bobby wouldn’t take no for an answer. Eddie and Maddie had to keep Buck distracted at all times until your items were moved out of Bradley's house because he threatened to kill the guy if he laid eyes on him. So when Buck and Eddie saw him coming up fast behind you screaming at you Eddie made sure to direct Buck to get you out of the way. Buck was quick to slide an arm around your waist and guide you quickly to Eddie's truck. Eddie blocked Bradley from coming any closer to you. You couldn’t hear what was said between the two of them but whatever Eddie said had Bradley ducking back into his building quickly. Eddie waited until the building doors closed behind Bradley before walking back to the truck. He didn’t speak once he started the truck nor did he speak for the entire trip to your Dads. His white knuckles gripped the steering wheel the whole drive there. Their conversation was something that had pissed him off. Once at your Dad's, you excused yourself to go lay down. The day had left you physically and mentally exhausted. 
“It’s okay baby you go rest, your Dad wants to cook you something special for dinner so I’ll come get you when his home and cooking, okay” Athena gave you a loving smile. 
You made your way to the spare room and quickly made yourself comfortable on the bed. As you lay there you could hear Athena talking with Buck and Eddie. 
“She’ll be safe here, trust me if that guy comes anywhere near this house he can consider himself arrested” Athena said
“How long does it take for someone like him to just leave a person alone?” Buck asked 
“Some give up after a few days, some a few weeks, months, years, some never quit” Athena sighed “But this guy I’d say as soon as he has a new target he’ll leave her alone” 
“Athena…” Eddie was cut off by someone banging on the front door. Before anyone could move to open the door what could only be described as a stampede echoed through the house. Heavy boots took staircase steps 2 at a time until the fanfare came to an end in the kitchen where Athena, Eddie and Buck still stood in shock at the interruption.  Stood before them in full uniform fresh from a call were Bobby, Chimney, Hen and Ravi. 
“What in the world are you lot doing in my kitchen?” Athena asked frustration lacing her voice
“Did you get y/n?” Chimney ignored Athena looking straight at Eddie and Buck
“y/n is trying to rest which she won’t be able to do with you lot acting like a bunch of zoo animals” Athena crossed her arms over her chest looking at them all like a disappointed mother. 
“So what's the plan from here how do we keep her ex from intimidating her back into a relationship with him” Hen asked keeping her voice just above a whisper partly to keep from disturbing y/n but mostly to appease Athena. 
“Well, to start Maddie and I are going to take her out for the day tomorrow, take her mind off all this” Athena motioned around the room. 
“Then starting the day after I’ve adjusted our rosters so someone can be here with her around the clock in case he shows up here” Bobby spoke up
“Unfortunately, someone here invited him over for dinner so he knows exactly where we live” Athena threw an accusatory look at Bobby. 
“Maybe she should come to stay with me he has no idea where I live” Eddie offered up. 
“No she’s safer here with Athena” Bobby said “Any sign of trouble and Athena can have the entire LAPD on our doorstep” Bobby smiled at Athena. 
“A Mumma has to protect her babies” Athena smiled back at Bobby. “And besides, he knows all of us and he will likely stalk all of us to get to her”
“So what are we supposed to do just wait for him to lose interest” Buck spoke up frustrated with the situation “I mean you said it yourself Athena it could take years” 
“Or days or weeks or months, the only guaranteed way to get rid of him quick is if y/n died, it’s the only way I’ve seen his type leave their victim alone for good” Athena said. The 118 shared a look, a look of mischief, of a united thought on how to get rid of this threat to their family. Athena knew immediately what they were thinking and quickly began shaking her head and looking between them. 
“Don’t you even think about it” Athena pointed a stern finger at each person standing in her kitchen. “You’ll be causing more problems than what you’ll solve”
Despite Athena's warning the 118 decided as a family that if ‘the asshole’ as they affectionately dubbed him showed his face to any of them they would warn him to back off and if he wouldn’t listen they would tell him y/n was dead. It seemed like the perfect plan until it wasn’t. 
The first person to meet him face to face was Chimney. It was 4 days after Eddie and Buck had taken you to live with Bobby and Athena. It was Eddie's day off. He had taken you out for lunch, then you picked Christopher up from school before heading back to Eddies to hang out. Eddie asked if you wanted to stay for dinner and a movie. Christopher who overheard the offer from where he sat in the dining room doing his homework practically begged you to stay. You called Athena to let her know you were going to be out late with Eddie and that he was going to drive you back when the movie ended. Christopher was old enough after all to stay home alone for the 20 minutes it would take Eddie to drop you home. 
Because of this, it was Chimney who got stuck working late at the firehouse. He was the last to leave after finishing off all the small boring end-of-shift jobs like making sure all the dinner dishes were done and the ambulance restocked for the next shift. Bradley had been parked across the road from the station all day watching the team come and go. Your little stunt at his office had cost him his job. He was going to make you pay and he had all the time in the world to make it happen. He waited and counted off your friends as they left. He wanted to make sure that he followed the last person to leave because he knew if he risked following anyone else the rest of your friends would know and his plan would be ruined. He noticed after the first three calls of the shift that one of the guys he had seen you out the front of his office with wasn’t on shift today. He decided it was likely that guy's fault you left him. You’d probably been seeing him behind his back all along. He’d make him pay too. He counted them out one by one as they left the firehouse, first, it was the other guy he’d seen at his office and some Middle Eastern-looking dude. Then that black woman he’d seen you hang out with left. Next was your father. He almost forgot to wait to see him. He wanted to chase him down and run him over with his car but he held it together. He knew there was one more person left. The little Asian guy. When he hadn’t come out after 30 minutes he almost thought he went home earlier and he’d missed him. That was until Chimney walked out of the 118 firehouse almost 45 minutes after his shift had finished. He was talking away on his phone not paying attention to his surroundings creating the perfect situation for a stalker. 
He followed Chimney from the firehouse to one of those 24-hour corner stores. He followed him in close behind, waiting until Chimney was alone in the back of the store. As luck would also have it there were no security cameras in sight. While Chimney was distracted looking at the small selection of diapers the store carried, he took his chance. Before Chimney could respond, he had grabbed him by the shoulder and had him pinned against the diaper shelves he was just looking at. 
“Where is she?” He asked aggressively.
“Who?” Chimney asked shocked but trying to remain calm. He knew exactly who he wanted. 
“Y/n” He held back from yelling in Chimney's face. 
“Y/n? You…you mean you haven’t heard?” Chimney tried his best at putting on a distraught face even willing a few tears to fall. 
“Heard what?” He loosed his grip on Chimney. 
“I’m sorry man, she… she's dead” Chimney said softly trying to lace his voice with sadness. 
“What no! What happened?” He aggressively slammed Chimney back against the shelves. 
“The night Eddie and Buck picked her up from your place she slit her wrists in Bobby and Athena's bathroom” Chimney made himself sob. 
Bradley shook his head in disbelief and ran from the shop. Once out of sight, Chimney let a massive grin break out on his face and he let out a proud chuckle. He grabbed diapers and practically skipped to the counter with them. He was so proud of himself and his lie. He knew if Bradley went looking to see if it was true he would see there had been a call out to Bobby and Athenas that night. It hadn’t been for you thought. Buck being the massive cluts that he is had managed to get his foot stuck in the bin beside the toilet while changing out a light bulb in the sconce above the sink which had stopped working while he was using the toilet. While trying to get the bin off his foot he slipped on the bath mat and fell smacking the back of his head with a loud yet hollow-sounding thunk on the sink, Luckly for Buck he has a thick skull and came out of it with a sore bum, ankle and head and a bruised ego. They still had him taken to the hospital because even though the injuries weren’t that bad he still needed to be cleared of any major head injury before returning to work. 
2 days later by chance, he ran into Hen. It was her day off and she was about to come pick you up to go out to the movies but first, she had to run some errands. Bobby wanted to have a barbecue at his place to celebrate family and new beginnings. She was grabbing a few things to take with her when he spotted her. She was about to walk into the supermarket when he walked out. Seeing Hen he decided to take the chance to confirm what Chimney had told him. He grabbed Hen who was distracted by the shopping list on her phone and pulled her to the side of the door. 
“What do you think you're doing? Get your hands off me!” Hen snapped. 
“I’m sorry I just want to talk” He sighed. 
“What do you want?” Hen asked crossing her arms over her chest,
“Is it true?” He asked. 
“Is what true?” Hen asked. 
“Is she dead?” 
“I’m afraid so” Hen dropped her head.
“No, no it can’t be” He looked at the ground. 
“If it means anything she didn’t suffer” Hen put a hand on his shoulder. When he looked up at her confused Hen was quick to drop her hand back by her side. “There was nothing anybody could do for her. I can assure you she died the second the car made contact with the semi, she wasn’t even aware of the fire” 
“A car accident?” He stumbled backwards. He ran away from Hen and made his way into the parking lot. The groceries he had brought were abandoned on the ground. Hen passed a confused look to the parking lot, shrugged and continued with her day. She knew if he went looking he would find a two-vehicle collision between a truck and a car. Y/n was nowhere near the accident but the 118 had responded to the accident so if he looked it up he wouldn’t be able to accuse them of lying. 
The very next day Ravi saw Bradley hanging out across the street watching the fire house. Ravi would have run off and grabbed Bobby but he was at home spending time with you. Ravi took a quick look around but couldn’t spot any other members of the 118 to alert. Ravi decided that he was going to have to do something about it himself. He jogged across the road and stood beside Bradley's car. He positioned himself in such a way that if anything should happen anyone watching on in the firehouse would be able to see both Ravi and Bradley in the car. Ravi through a look back at the firehouse and then turned his attention back to Bradley. 
“Any reason you're watching the firehouse?” Ravi asked faking a smile trying to pretend that he didn’t know who the man in the car was. “Are you interested in working for the LAFD? I could get you some information if you want to come inside” Ravi motioned towards the firehouse with an outstretched hand. 
“Oh no, I was just hoping someone could help me get some information on a friend” Bradley put a fake smile on his face. 
“No problem sir if you want to come inside I can set you up in the captain's office and we can all have a couple of officers down to help you” Ravi never once let the smile on his face falter. 
“I don’t want to be a bother” If he stepped foot in the firehouse he knew he would be recognised by the other members of the 118. “My friends' name is Y/n Nash I believe you know her, she’s the fire captain's daughter” 
“Oh y/n, yeah I knew her, um the captain is actually off today, I guess you’re here for the funeral?” Ravi let his smile drop. He tucked his hands into his pockets, rocked back on his heels and looked at the ground. “I could get you the funeral details if you want” 
“No, no it’s fine, when did she die? How did she die? I mean last time I saw her she was healthy, she seemed happy” Bradley knew he was baiting Ravi. He’d already been told two different things. Either your whole team was messing with him or you were messing with them. Either way, he was going to figure it out and track you down. And when he found you he was going to make you pay. 
“Uh she…she was involved in a hit and run, Cap had to decide to turn off her life support. The doctors said she had almost no chance of recovery any way” Ravi looked up to the sky knowing if he looked Bradley in the eyes he might break and smile. 
“I’m so sorry to hear that, I was just in town and thought I would stop in for a minute but I wouldn’t want to be a burden, pass my condolences on to Bobby” Bradley gave Ravi a small smile and pulled away from the firehouse. When he was out of sight Ravi fist-bumped the air and jogged back into the firehouse. As far as Ravi was concerned that was the last time he thought any of you would hear from him. Bradley on the other hand had only gathered more evidence that the 118 was potentially lying to him. 
Early the next morning Bradley stalked Eddie to his usual running path. He waited until Eddie was on a particularly quiet portion of the track, hidden from the eyes of the public by bushes and trees. He blocked Eddie's path not allowing him to step around him. Eddie the second he laid eyes on Bradley wanted to punch his lights out but he held his composure. Eddie placed some distance between himself and Bradley before speaking up. 
“What the hell do you want?” Eddie said voice laced with anger. 
“I just want to know what happened to y/n” Bradley put his hands up in surrender. 
“You have no right to ask about her” Eddie snapped “She was so happy until you came along, you broke her down, you isolated her from us, you’re the reason…” Eddie choked on his words. A mixture of real and fake emotions was flowing through Eddie. He was so upset and caught off guard that he almost went off the script. “You’re the reason shes dead” 
“Now Edmundo I don’t believe that for a second” Bradley smirked at Eddie
“Look in my eyes and tell me I’m lying” Eddie growled, “I carried her lifeless body out of her parent's house after she blew her brains out with her mother's gun, I begged and pleaded with god and anyone who would listen to bring her back to me, to us.”
“No, no… you're lying!” Bradley yelled backing away from Eddie. 
“She killed herself because we wouldn’t let her go back to you, maybe we should have, maybe if we did she’d still be here” Eddie's gaze dropped to the ground. The next thing Eddie heard was the sound of someone running away from him. He looked up to see himself once again alone. A smile broke out on his face as he continued with his run. He couldn’t wait to finish up his run, get home, shower and get to work. The only thing that was going to top this was having dinner with you, Buck and Chris tonight. Bradley on the other hand was not so sure what was going on. He found himself confused. Everything Eddie said seemed so genuine. Maybe Bobby and Eddie had told the rest of the team different things to keep them from knowing what happened. He hadn’t seen you around since that day in the office not even with Eddie and Buck even though he knew you’d always run off to them in the past. Still, he had two more people to ask and he wasn’t going to stop until he got the truth. 
That afternoon he followed Bobby into a butcher as he looked for the perfect cuts of steak and his favourite burger patties for the weekend during some downtime between calls. He wanted this BBQ to be reminiscent of the BBQs that you had when you were a kid even though, Mum, Robbie and Brook weren’t here anymore and you’d felt like he had tried to replace them with Athena, May and Harry. You’d grown to love them like Bobby did and accepted them as your family. Bobbys plans came to a halt when Bradley grabbed him by the arm and spun him to look at him. Bobby went from shocked to furious in seconds. Bradley could tell immediately that Bobby was not impressed to see him. 
“I’m not trying to start anything” Bradley puts his hands up in defence “I just need to know…”
“Need to know what?” Bobby snaps crossing his arms across his chest making himself larger and more intimidating. 
“Is she dead?” He asked. 
“My daughter? My child who you destroyed so completely that she couldn’t see her self-worth. Yes, she’s dead and it's all your fault” Bobby was now shaking with anger, his arms hung limp at his side and his gaze had met the floor. “I had to scrape her brains off every surface of my guest room, all my children are now gone, I couldn’t save any of them, what kind of father can’t protect his children?” Bobby looked up to where Bradley had been standing to find that he at some point had run off. Bobby looked around the empty store and shrugged. Had he been a little overdramatic sure but he didn’t think he’d been that bad. With a smile plastered on his face, he went back to picking out the steaks for the weekend and hoped that would be the last time he would have to see Bradley. 
The next morning Buck found himself running late for his shift. Chris insisted on watching a movie with everyone the night before but fell asleep not 15 minutes into the film despite insisting to Eddie that he was not sleepy at all. Eddie carried Chris to bed and decided that since the movie had started you might as well watch it. It was one of your and Chris's favourites. Eddie was sick of watching the movie on repeat and Buck had somehow had the blessing of not being subject to FernGully until now. After the movie, Buck drove you home. This meant he didn’t get home until almost 11 pm and he had to be at the station at 7 am. Bradley had spotted Buck on his drive home and decided to camp out the front of Buck's apartment building for the night. When Buck stumbled out the front door in a rushed mess the next morning Bradley was there to greet him. 
“I’m not here to start a fight, I just need answers” He held his hands up in defence. 
“What the hell do you need answers for?” If looks could kill Bradley would be dead with how Buck looked at him.
“I just want to know if y/n is dead” Bradley moved further back from Buck out of fear of getting hit.
“Dead” Buck yelled and got so close to Bradley that their chests were almost touching “Why do think it’s any of your business to know what’s happening with y/n?” 
“I just heard rumours and wanted to know” Bradley flinched away from Buck. 
“You wanted to know? You wanted to know?” Buck looked away and scoffed “Yes she’s dead alright, she killed herself, you have no idea what it’s like to be called out to a scene where someone you love has killed themselves, to see their blood all over and know that nothing you can do will save them. To see them choking on their blood as it spills out of their open throat” 
Bradley had gone pale, so pale that Buck thought he was going to faint. For a split moment, Buck felt bad, made be he had been too harsh and taken things too far. Bradley quickly crossed back across the road to his car and took off before any more words could be exchanged. Buck shrugged and quickly made his way to work running even more late now. But that was normal for Buck so he knew no one would question him and he wouldn’t have to tell anyone about running into Bradley. 
Finally, Saturday rolled around 2 days later. You had been kept busy all morning by Athena who had you help put out her good wine glasses, set the table for lunch, and do other small tasks. Eddie, Christopher and Buck had shown up around 10 am because Chris was too impatient and excited to hang out with his favourite person. You were so distracted with Chris that before you knew it, the rest of the 118 had arrived. Bobby and Buck were manning the BBQ, Chris was off playing with Danny and Mara, Hen, Chimney, Ravi, Karen and Maddie were busy talking among themselves. Athena was busy drifting around the kitchen while Eddie stood outside next to you watching the kids play. 
“I’m glad you left him” Eddie broke the silence. 
“Me too” You smiled up at him “Thank you for knocking some sense into me”. 
“Okay everyone lunch is ready!” Bobby called bringing a tray of meat into the dining room. 
Everyone sat around the table. Athena had set the kids up at their table out in the yard which made them think they were the coolest kids ever. She even gave them their plastic wine glasses to drink juice from. You were in the middle of one of the greatest lunches you’d ever had when there was an overly aggressive knock on the door. Before Athena or Bobby could move to answer the door someone yelled through the front door.
“I know you're all in there, I want answers and I want them now!” Bradley screamed through the door. 
“What in the world?” Athena looked towards the landing where the front door was. 
“What’s he doing here?” Buck looked around the table. 
“I guess this means the plan didn’t work” Chimney looked between everyone. 
“What plan?” Athena looked at Chimney. 
“Uh, well, uh, Bobby do you want to explain it” Chimney looked to Bobby. 
“You brought it up” Bobby motioned back to Athena. 
“What plan?” Athena stood up, crossed her arms and started tapping her foot. 
The 118 shared panicked glances while you, Maddie and Karen looked around the table confused. 
“Robert Wade Nash you better start speaking or so help me god you’ll be sleeping at the firehouse tonight” Athena levelled her attention on Bobby. 
“We might have told him y/n was dead” Bobby said 
“Dead” Athena looked around the table “After I told you not to tell him that you went and did it anyway” 
“Well in all fairness Athena I was the one who told him she was dead” Buck admitted looking at his plate. 
“You? No, I told him” Chimney jumped in. 
“Wait but I told him she was dead like a week ago” Hen added. “Oh god what have we done” 
“One at a time, how did you all say she died” Athena asked the table. 
“Slit her wrists,” Chimney said
“Hit and Run,” Ravi said
“Car accident,” Hen said
 “Shot herself with your gun,” Bobby said
“Slit her throat,” Buck said
“Same as Bobby,” Eddie said
You, Maddie and Karen, were trying to hold it together despite all having a bad case of the giggles. Athena was done with the entire 118 at this point and it was clear from the look on Bobbys face he was already trying to decide who would let him crash on their lounge tonight. 
“If you weren’t going to listen couldn’t you all have at least agreed on how she died” Athena sighed. 
“I’ll go deal with” Bobby went to stand up. 
“No you’ve done enough damage” Athena left the table. 
Athena went to open the door while everyone else quietly got up from the table and came to peak around the corner. Bradley was still furiously banging on the door when Athena answered it. 
“What do you want?” Athena asked angrily.
“I need the truth, I’ve been told so many different things over the last week,” Bradley said “Tell me the truth and I’ll leave you alone” 
“Yes y/n is dead, yes she killed herself with my gun, no we haven’t told everyone, now if you don’t mind we’re currently having her wake” Athena crossed her arms. 
“I’m so sorry” Bradley quickly turned on his heels and ran off up the driveway out of sight. 
Athena took a deep breath and closed the door. 
“When I turn around you all best be at that table eating”

Athena grant x Autistic!reader - only person
Tumblr media
Hiiii i was just wondering if you could do an Athena x Autistic reader where the reader is like her daughter and needs help to calm down ? - Anon💜
Athena was doing her rounds when she got the call to come back to the station immediately and she wasted no time in rushing back.
Jumping out of her car, she ran over to the doors and was greeted by an officer who was looking around frantically.
“Sergeant Grant!?” He rushed out.
“Yes! What is it?”
He gestured for her to follow him and they ran down the hallways and she realised what was going on and she pushed past him.
She ran to your desk and grabbed your chair, spinning it to face her.
“(Y/N)? (Y/N) look at me!”
Your breathing was ragged, and you were shaking your head, hands clasped over your ears as you lightly hit your head.
Athena reached out, taking your hands in hers and laced her fingers with hers and you looked at her.
“Hey sweetie..” she whispered.
You breathed heavily, stilling moving your hands slightly in his and she stood up, pulling you up with her.
You wordlessly followed her back to her car and she sat you down in the passenger seat and you looked around outside.
“Bet it’s a lot nicer out here.” She smiled.
You gave a small nod, your hand still holding hers tightly.
“You just sit here for as long as you need got it? I don’t care what anyone else says, you take as long as you need to.”
You nodded again and tapped your hand against the back of her hand and she leant against the car door with a smile.
“You just having a bad day?”
You nodded your head and looked up at her, taking both of her hands to lace her fingers with your own as you looked around.
Athena let you, just holding your hands.
She had done this loads of times, she was the only person who could calm you down so quickly, so even if they didn’t know her people knew to call her.
She seemed to have a soothing affect on you.
You looked at Athena, standing up and wrapped your arms around her and she happily hugged you back.
“Aw you know I love your hugs (Y/N).” She laughed.
“You give warm hugs.” You whispered.
She smiled.
“Well I’m glad I do.” She chuckled.
She moved you both side to side and you smiled as you copied her movements.
“Have you had lunch?” She asked.
“No.”
“Well get in, let’s go to your favourite place, get you some food and go for a drive.”
“Okay!”
You jumped back into the car and Athena smiled as she closed your door and walked to the drivers side to get in.
Athena had her own kids, but the moment she met you she felt the need to protect you, look after you and care for you and she had quickly become a parental figure for you.
You were like a daughter to her, you were funny and happy, and sometimes you had hard days, but she knew exactly how to calm you down

athena grant x reader
summary: three times you’re with athena, and the one time you’re not.
warnings: just read bookie
athena grant masterlist || main masterlist
Tumblr media
1
     The rising sun shining through the windows made for a peaceful atmosphere. You basked in the gentle heat as you walked around the kitchen, gathering what you needed to make your daily cup of morning coffee. Waiting for it to brew, you bent over the counter, set your head in your hands, and watched as the dust settled around the house. The quiet, aside from the soft trickle of coffee, allowed you to hear the chirping of faraway birds.
     As you got lost in your tranquil thoughts, you failed to notice the light footsteps that trekked across the floor. Before you could process it, hands were wrapping around your waist, causing you to stand up straight in surprise. 
     You look back and a gentle smile graces your face. Athena’s bedhead was evident (it seemed that her scarf had fallen off in the middle of the night yet again), there was crust in the corner of her eyes, and her eyes seemed to be a second away from drooping back closed. Yet, she was still the most beautiful soul you ever met. 
     Her tangled hair was the same mane you ran your fingers through whenever she was stressed or tired and just needed that final push to fall into slumber. Those were the same eyes you gazed into whenever you just needed a little reassurance. The same eyes that would flutter closed anytime you noticed a stray eyelash on her cheek and just had to wipe it away.
     “Hi,” you whispered to her, not wanting to break the delicate environment. 
     Athena let out a gentle hum and nuzzled into your shoulder. Despite her reputation as a tough woman, she was the clingiest person you knew--especially in the mornings as she was still waking up.
     The two of you stood there for a moment, basking in each other’s presence, knowing that sooner rather than later, your jobs would tear you away.  
     The shrill beep of the coffee machine broke you both out of your love-induced haze. Your lover reluctantly pulled away, knowing that caffeine was needed for her to function. As you poured the liquid into two mugs, she grabbed the creamer from the fridge and some spoons. 
     Athena then poured it into both cups, remembering just how much you liked in yours as you set the coffee pot back down. 
     The woman slid the mug towards you, “One cup of coffee for you, my love--just the way you like it.”
     You smiled at her in thanks, before taking a sip of the drink, humming in delight as the warmness slipped down your throat and into your stomach. 
     You both stood next to each other, leaning against the counter, drinking your coffee, trying to wake up and prepare for the long day ahead. You and Athena had decided a while ago to wake up just the slightest bit earlier on work days, wanting to experience a little more time together. With your schedule as a doctor and hers as a police officer, hours were unpredictable and you wanted to take advantage of every second you had. 
     You wound up finishing up your morning cup before Athena did (she always did tend to be a little slower than you when it came to drinking). Giving her a peck on the forehead, you went back towards your shared room and laid clothes out for the both of you. You then went to the bathroom, hopping in the shower, knowing that someone would be joining you.
     Sure enough, you heard the curtain slide open and felt hands wandering around your back no less than five minutes later. If there was one thing that motivated Athena to move faster, it was the prospect of being close and personal with you. 
     The two of you moved at a moderate pace, mindful of the fact that you couldn’t linger long with extensive work shifts ahead (it took much self-discipline from each of you). She washed your back and you washed hers. You rinsed off any soap she missed and she bent down to wash your lower legs, recalling that you were complaining about a sore back the night previous. 
     You helped each other dry off and moisturize before heading back to the room and finally getting ready. If anyone asked you, this was the hardest part of the day. Not getting through twenty-four-hour shifts or having to eat cafeteria food because you forgot your lunch at home. No--the hardest part was the building anticipation of leaving your lover. It was the counting down of the last few minutes you had together in the morning and knowing that she wouldn’t be by your side for the rest of the day. It was the minute cracking of your heart as you watched her put the uniform on, knowing that you’d be yearning for her simple essence for hours. 
     But for the sake of your relationship and your well-being, you ignored it. Because she was the one you’d eventually be coming home to, no matter how long it took. And that simple fact was enough comfort for you. 
     So with a final passionate kiss, the two of you broke apart and headed to your separate vehicles with one thought in mind--
     I’ll see you later. 
-

     “Two waffles with light maple syrup, just how you like it,” Athena says, placing the plate on the table in front of where you were sitting, and planting a kiss on your forehead afterward. 
     You were both finally out of rotation at work and the days happened to line up. It didn’t hurt that it was a Saturday either. 
     Your lover insisted on making breakfast for the two of you, saying that it was her turn to treat you anyway.
      Athena sat down across from you with her own breakfast. She possessed her own plate of pancakes (she knew you enjoyed waffles better—it warmed your heart every time she made them for you), along with a cup of tea (“I don’t need extra caffeine today,” she said).
     The process of multitasking was never difficult for either of you—it was evident as you both shared work gossip stories with each other while taking occasional bites of food. You complained about how one of your coworkers was so disrespectful towards nurses and in turn, Athena rolled her eyes just thinking about the new cocky officer who joined the squad a month or so back. 
     You offered to (forced her to let you) do the dishes while your lover started cleaning the house. It was an accidental routine the two of you created—you clean the house then relax for the rest of the day. 
     After well over two hours worth of Pandora’s R&B playlist, you finally finished cleaning (dancing with each other). Plopping down on the couch, you watch Athena put the vacuum back in the hall closet. The television had already been changed to a movie that you both had been meaning to watch together by the time she came to settle on the couch. 
     Even after watching the film many times with each other, you both watched with rapt attention. That didn’t stop either of you from stealing glances at the other when you thought they weren’t looking. 
     When a weight suddenly dropped onto her shoulder, Athena looked down and saw you sound asleep. With as hard as you had been working recently, she knew it was only a matter of time before you crashed. With a kiss on your forehead, she pulled the throw blanket over your legs and continued watching the TV, her arm never leaving your shoulders. 
-

     “Three days off? This is amazing,” Athena gently exclaims softly, cupping your cheeks and pulling you into a loving kiss. She pulled back and had that large smile on her face that made her eyes squint 
     “I know, right? Boss said I had been working hard and told me to use some vacation days,” you replied, plopping onto the couch next to her and throwing your arm across her shoulders.
     Athena, too, had told you that you were working too hard. It seemed that every time you came home these past few weeks, there were new bags underneath your eyes. She could see the stress of the hospital coming off you and, call her crazy if you want, smell the atmosphere of the place on you. 
     “Figured we could maybe have a stay-cation. Relax all day and do absolutely nothing,” you suggested, staring into your lover's eyes, attempting to convince her (not that it would be hard to do so). 
     “That sounds wonderful,” she replied, stroking your other affectionately. “You know, Harry’ll be at Michael’s for the next week…we’ll have the house all to ourselves.”
     With a small grin, you don’t hesitate to lean in closer and give her a passionate kiss.
     “I like the way you think.”

     Athena woke up to rushed shuffling and a groan coming from across the bedroom. Displeasure immediately shot through her as the sleep had been much needed--you really tuckered her out. She opens her puffy eyes to find you running around like a chicken with its head cut off. You must spot her open eyes because the next thing she knows, you’re making your way over to her and pressing a kiss against her forehead. 
     “Turns out they can’t survive long without me,” you explain in a hushed voice. It’s the early morning of what would’ve been your third and last day off. “They need me for some emergency surgery. Said it wouldn’t be long and I could get the rest of today and tomorrow off as compensation.” 
     You grab one last thing and begin to walk out of the room before she calls out a bleary, “Wait.” 
     “Yeah?” you ask, standing in the doorway. In response, she waves you over with her hand. 
     Once you reach her, Athena pulls you down and plants a lingering kiss on your lips. 
     “I love you,” she whispers with as much passion as her morning voice and still-asleep mind can allow her. 
     “I love you more,” you say with a smile.
     “I love you most.”
     “Impossible,” you reply with one last peck. “I’ll see you later,” is what’s said as you reluctantly part and head out of the house. 
     Athena listens as your car roars to life and to you pulling out the driveway and speeding off. As she settles in the bed once again, though, she can’t find herself able to drift back off to sleep.
     Athena was never a woman to get too into her head--it was something she prided herself on. She tended to look at situations with a clear mind and it always benefited her greatly. Now, however, that level-headedness was nowhere to be found. 
     The sergeant knows how long surgeries can take especially if they had been emergencies. Even the planned ones are unpredictable. That fact, however, doesn’t keep her from looking at her phone every 30 seconds, checking the time, and hoping to get some word from you. You left far before the sun rose this morning and here it was, a few hours before it was due to set. 
     She wants to call but tries to refrain from doing so. The last time she rang you during surgery, someone else picked up--least to say it was awkward and slightly embarrassing (an emotion Athena doesn’t experience often but detests when she does). Her worry eventually outways her hate as she picks up her cell phone and begins to scroll through her contacts. However, before she can press the call button, your name pops up, indicating you were trying to reach her. 
     A sigh of relief flows out of her as she accepts the call but her next breath gets caught in her throat as she hears the voice across the line.     “Athena.”
     “Hen?”
-
     The drive to the hospital was a blur. There were distant hopes in the back of her mind of not being pulled over because even in her haze, she was sure of her speeding. 
    When she finally parks (her car is painfully crooked and hardly between the lines) she rushes inside the building that holds a lingering sense of chaos. The person on the phone, who her barely functioning mind recognized as Hen, said you had been involved in an accident on the expressway. The paramedic didn’t give much detail over the phone but Athena could see the mark the crash left on the nurses and doctors on shift. 
     Making her way over to the desk, she wills herself to make words come out of her mouth, even though it feels impossible to do so. 
     “Athena,” Hen called out, becoming her saving grace. 
     The woman quickly turned and approached her friend, hands gripping her bag to their trembling. 
     “What…what happened? I…” she could hardly get her words out. Never in her life had Athena felt so frazzled--so scared.
     Henrietta placed a hand on her back and gently guided her over to the waiting room, where the rest of the 118 crew was seated. She slowly took a seat against the wall, not wanting to miss your doctor coming out to give updates. 
     “There was a crash,” her friend says, reiterating what she already knew. “y/n’s side of the car was hit. Reckless, speeding driver hit her and drove off.” She gave few words, knowing how little Athena could process right now. “She’s getting checked out right now, but she was stable when we left her.” 
     Stable. That was something Athena could handle right now. She knew your condition could change at any given moment but she had to focus on the positive. Right?
-
     She wasn’t sure how long she ended up waiting. Everyone else had to return to the station for duty. She can vaguely remember their goodbyes and condolences. 
     A doctor eventually calls out your name and once given her relation to you, describes your condition. She hears something about broken ribs and resetting bones but Athena doesn’t have enough energy to think about that right now. The only thing on her mind is seeing you and she’s quick to follow behind the nurse who was leading her to your room. 
     It’s apparent you’re groggy--the high dosage of pain medicine had already kicked in. The nurse gives the usual run down--press the button if you need anything, visiting hours--all things that Athena couldn’t care less about at the moment.
     Once she hears the door close behind her, the sergeant makes her way to the chair conveniently placed beside your bed. As she sits she grabs your hand gently, eyes roaming across the casts wrapped around your other arm and left leg. 
     “Hi,” she carefully whispers. She wondered if you had a headache. Did you have a concussion (maybe she should’ve been listening)?
     “Hi, my love,” you drowsily reply. “‘M sorry…I was late-”
     “No, no, none of that” she cuts you off, scooting closer to you. She places a hand on your forehead and rubs your hair back, you leaning into her touch. “Nothing to apologize for.”
     She watches as your eyes flutter and you mumble something that she can’t make out. “Get some rest,” she softly commands. “I’ll be here when you wake up, holding your hand.”
     “You promise?”
     Athena’s heart breaks at the raw, vulnerable look in your eyes. Fear shone through and she squeezed your hand a little tighter in response. 
     “I promise.”

Athena and f reader. They've worked together for a year, both harboring feelings for the other. Reader takes a bullet for Athena, and as she Lays in her arms, waiting for the paramedics, she loos into Athenas eyes and admits how she feels.
A/n: hope you like it, anon ♥
Tumblr media
It was a gunshot and Athena´s scream that filled and echoed through the deserted and silent streets, slowly dying in the darkness of the night. The flickering blue beacons of the police car behind you gave off the faintest light for the brunette to deduce that a rapidly enlarging blood-red smudge was spreading across your chest.
"Y/n.." she watched you intently, with that look on her face that was unlikely for her. Her eyes were wide open, pupils extremely dilated as her body was tensed and restless, almost trembling with fear.
Your gaze dropped to the spot where your uniform was beginning to soak up your blood and slowly, you dragged yourself forward to your best friend. The view in front of your eyes was disturbed by tiny black spots, which became more persistent and mixed with the slowly developing dizziness to an uncomfortable and unsafe feeling.
You felt your reserves of strength disappearing and leaving you and you were brought to your knees by this quickly occurring weakness. Before your body could reach the cold ground, two hands quickly slipped under your arms and caught you. "I´ve got you."
Gently, almost in slow motion, she pulled your increasingly heavier body onto the sidewalk and, as carefully as she could be, attempted to sit on it so that you came to rest on top of her. Laying in the arms of Athena, who pressed a hand to your chest to desperately stop the bleeding, you watched her screaming for help over the radio. "OFFICER DOWN! I NEED A BUS! NOW!"
"-thena." you said hollowly; your body shaking uncontrollably as your eyelids began to grow heavier with each second that passed. A small puddle formed on the floor beneath you, one of your own blood. "Don´t talk. Save your energy, sweetheart."
Even if no sound of complaint had passed your lips, the brunette only knew from the fine beads of sweat on your forehead that your injury was causing you the deepest and most severe pain. Still, she was pressing even harder on the gunshot wound, making you gasp while your body flinched on top of her- watching the warm blood slip through her fingers.
Too much blood.
She, too, felt shaky and uncomfortable in such a situation. Not only because such a wound was a matter of life and death, but also because it was you who stood in front of her to protect her and save her life.
As Athena bent her head down to you, she clasped your now limp hand tightly in her free one and wiped the tears from her eyes; leaving streaks of your blood clinging to her skin. "Help is on the way, stay awake okay?" she spoke positively and already heard the sirens of the approaching ambulance in the far distance.
She wanted to play the strong one, didn´t want to cry in front of you and make you feel like your story should end here and now- in her arms. But when all that you love in life was about to be ripped away from you, then what could she possibly do?
Nothing helped, no matter how hard you tried to fight the constant and growing tiredness, the immense loss of blood that has taken place in the meantime had only made your body weaker. "It doesn´t hurt anymore." you said above a whisper and Athena´s eyes flickered back to you.
"Hold on, please. I need you." You felt her hold tighten on you and her soft lips pressed against your temple. Your eyes, almost drained of life, turned once more to hers and met a completely destroyed and never before seen facial expression that had been overwhelmed with salty tears.
"I love you, ´thena."
Her heart broke at that statement.
Suddenly, all the anger against the shooter dissipated and only sadness and longing remained.
Your body grew heavy and limp in her hold and the small smile on your lips slowly faded. And then it went black around you; the cold and darkness tore you to your bitter death.
"I love you too, Y/n. I always did."

bobby nash and athena grant x male!reader (platonic)
reader asked may on a date and is at the house to pick her up only to be greeted by her mom and stepdad
Can You Cook?
(Unedited)
Tumblr media
Pairing: May Grant x Eddie's nephew!reader/Bathena
Warning(s): Fluff, protective but lenient Bobby and Athena, talks of anxiety,
A/N: Mainly Dialogue at the end. Also I added a few things in here if you don't mind, hope you like it!
Adjusting your black button up, you built the courage to knock on your date's door. You were practically shaking with nervousness. May already agreed to going on a date with you- but what about her mom?
You've heard about how badass and intimidating Seargent Athena Grant is and also how protective she is over her family... what if she didn't allow you to date her daughter? You really like May. You two have been friends for the entirety of your junior year and thought maybe it was time to make a move and so you did.
Now you had to stand in front of her mother with a straight face instead of shit scared and that had to be the worst nervousness you would ever experience ever.
After a couple of seconds of waiting, the door starts to open and you instantly straighten, you wanted to have the best first impression for Ms. Grant to allow you a date with her daughter.
But instead of being greeted by the Sergeant, your uncle's fire captain did which shocked you both.
"Captain Nash? What are you doing here."
"Waiting for my stepdaughter's date to arrive. In… well I guess he did." Your eyes widened as large as saucers from his words.
"I had no idea she was your-"
"Bobby? Is that Y/N?" Your head snapped to the strong, female voice of Athena as she came up next to Bobby. She knows my name?
"So you knew it was Y/N that's taking out May?"
"Of course."
"And you didn't-"
"Didn't what, Bobby?" The fire captain mouthed a careful nevermind and brought his attention back to you along with Athena. "I do have some questions though." Once given the chance, you cleared your throat and nodded.
“Do you use drugs and if so would you get May to use again.”
“No and no ma’am. I am as clean as a whistle.”
“Mhm, okay, smoking?”
“Is a no go, the firehouse already scolded me about anything of that nature.”
“Alcohol?”
“As for who my family is I have had three drinks of beer in my 16 years of life but nothing more until I turn eighteen or twenty-one.”
“He’s honest, I like it. Now… can you cook?” Huh?
“Oh he can cook, Athena. He made carne asada the other day for the firehouse, the one I brought home.”
“That was you?”
“Yes ma’am.” You beamed with pride.
“Fine, you are a very good young man for our daughter.”
Just as Athena said those words, you could see May walking toward the door in an light blue dress that complemented her skin tone beautifully.
“Great, now can you please stop interrogating my hopefully soon to be boyfriend?” She looks absolutely amazing.
“You’d like that?”
“Of course.”
“Then, Sgt. Grant, Cpt. Nash, may I take out my soon-to-be girlfriend on this date?”
“You may.” The parents said in union.

Evan Buckley Masterlist
Summary: While Buck is at work during a storm, (Y/n) goes to spend the day with Athena. And subsequently ends up going into labour.
Enjoy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media
(Y/n) slumped her left arm on the kitchen counter and turned the kitchen stool to the side when she heard loud footsteps approaching. Her eyes set on her husband and she did a quick sweep up and down his frame and bit down on the corner of her lip.
"You're leaving me?" Her lips curved into a pout and her head tilted to the side, causing Evan's heart to soften yet speed up at the same time.
He jogged down the last of the stairs and advanced across the apartment towards her with his arms stretched out in front of him.
As soon as he was within reach, Evan clamped his hands down on (Y/n)'s hips and moved to stand between her legs. He felt her knees pressing into his hips and her arms looped around his torso while her chin pressed into his chest so she could look up at him.
"Sorry baby, I gotta go to work." Evan leaned down and captured her lips in a kiss as his hands gave her hips a loving squeeze.
If he had the choice, he would stay home with her. Somehow, it didn't feel the same going to work without (Y/n) being there with him.
Evan was used to his wife working alongside him. He was so used to turning to her when he had a patient that needed transporting to the hospital and Evan loved those times when he got to ride in the ambulance and see (Y/n) at work as a paramedic.
The 118 really was a family-run unit, with (Y/n) being both Bobby's daughter and Evan's wife.
But she was on maternity leave now.
"Hmm, that's not fair, leaving me all alone." (Y/n) tilted her head down so she could press her face into his shirt and breathe in his scent and cologne.
(Y/n) didn't like being home alone, she didn't know what to do with herself and if Evan wasn't here to monitor her, she seemed to end up doing a lot more than she should recently.
"Sorry baby." He pecked the top of her head and rested his chin on her head for a few moments while he grazed his fingers up and down her side. "Promise me you're not gonna go out today, there's a storm and the last thing I need is a call saying you've had an accident or got stuck in this weather."
Evan panicked, he was a worrier by heart. But he knew his wife like the back of his hand. He knew she was becoming restless and didn't know what to do with herself when the nursery was already set up and they had everything ready for when their boy arrived. He didn't want (Y/n) going out when the storm was already rolling in and making itself known. Evan couldn't deal with that kind of phone call today.
He was on a double shift, he wouldn't be home until tomorrow afternoon and he dreaded to think what (Y/n) would get up to in that time.
"We get bored-"
"And I get worried. Please?"
A groan tumbled past (Y/n)'s lips and she looked up at Evan, feeling a shiver roll down her spine when she was met with his stern expression. Her hands grazed up and down his back and she leaned back on the bar stool until she was leant against the kitchen counter.
"Can you drop me at mums then? So I don't go crazy sitting on my own in here."
She watched Evan's expression soften into a warm smile and he nodded, pecking her temple again before he looked down at his watch.
If he was leaving her, (Y/n) would rather go somewhere and be with family so she wasn't alone. And she knew Athena wasn't at work today. They could have a catch up or watch some movies and just spend the day together. It would only be two weeks until (Y/n)'s due date and then there would be a baby in the mix, stealing all the attention.
(Y/n) and Evan had only been married three months before (Y/n) announced she was pregnant. As thrilled as everyone had been, they also took it as an opportunity to tease Evan. Telling him he didn't waste much time or asking if it was a shotgun wedding. The whole team loved to wind him up, but he didn't care.
He had his girl and now they were having a baby, Evan was going to be the happiest man at the station.
"Sure. Come on then, baby."
Evan slowly walked back so he was no longer stood between her legs and he held his hands out for her. He took her hands and helped (Y/n) slide down off the kitchen stool. He turned, about to walk towards the hall but he stopped when (Y/n) latched her fingers around his wrist and gave a sharp tug.
She pulled his arm close and pressed his hand against the side of her stomach so he could feel the baby wriggling. The movement made Evan's lips quirk into a lopsided smile and he brushed his thumb across her skin, waiting for another movement or a kick in his direction.
"Someone's happy today." He murmured softly and leaned down so he could press a kiss to her stomach.
(Y/n) held onto Evan's hand and followed him into the hall and she grinned, leaning against his back and his arm as she found her shoes. Evan had recently become her leaning post when she found it harder to lean over to bend down. It was why (Y/n) had gotten a pair of flat shoes that were easy to slip on and off so she didn't have to bend or pull them on.
She slipped her phone in her bag and hooked it on her shoulder, but both hands moved to grab the cabinet in front of her and she took a sharp breath when her back twinged.
"Okay?"
"My back twinged," Her fingers dug into the cabinet and her upper body arched forward to see if it would relieve the sudden twinge in her lower spine.
Her lips curved into a tight smile when she felt Evan's hand move along her back in slow, deep circles that did something for the pain and made her feel a little better.
"Maybe it's a sign you should take it easy," Evan murmured into the top of her hair. His hand continued to move along her back and his other hand moved to hold her arm for added support. He waited patiently for (Y/n) to take a deep breath and lean off the counter again but he could see the pain flicker across her face when she straightened up.
"It's a sign your son is a menace."
"Oh, so he's mine now, not ours?"
(Y/n) ignored his comment and tilted her head back to look up at Evan with a pleading glimmer in her eyes. "Tell him to be good?" She moved Evan's hand from her back to the lower side of her stomach and she waited as Evan leaned down to hover his lips over her bump.
"Behave, mister. Or else."
***
A crack of thunder broke through the sky and rattled the windows and the patio doors until it sounded like they were going to shatter. The rain beat down on the patio outside and a steady stream trickled over the stones and down onto the grass that was going to be flooded, come tomorrow morning.
(Y/n) shuddered at the thought of going out in this weather.
Her eyes glanced over at the clock on the kitchen wall. Seven o'clock. She had been here all afternoon and thankfully, the afternoon had gone by in a flash with Athena. They ate tea together, watched some movies and went through a few magazines and sorted through some things the station had got for when the baby arrived.
(Y/n) finished making two cups of hot chocolate and held one in each hand, but her eyes focused on staring out the kitchen window when she turned around. It looked like it was midnight with how black and dead the sky looked and all the white flashes rippling across the sky. The sheets of rain pouring down from the heavens didn't look much better, either.
She took slow steps back through to the living room but ended up shuffling her feet to see if it would dull the aching in her back and her lower stomach. The baby had shifted around again and now he was weighing heavy on (Y/n)'s abdomen to the point it was hurting every now and then.
"Thank you," Athena murmured as she placed down a bag of baby clothes near the coffee table and took her seat on the sofa.
Her hand moved to (Y/n)'s lower back and she watched cautiously as (Y/n) slowly sat down with a wince. She stayed sitting upright instead of slouching back into the sofa like before to see if it would do anything to help her discomfort.
"Well, I think you'll be spending the night with me, hun."
"Is that okay?"
"Oh, it's more than okay, you keep me company and I've had my instructions from Buck. We're not to go out in this weather, he said he'd come pick you up after work. And your dad would have my head if we drove out in this storm."
Athena didn't have a problem with (Y/n) staying over, it was the reason why they had the spare room here for friends and family to stay over. Although there was a lot of things packed into the spare room. Bobby was getting ready for his first grandchild and he was already planning ahead to the weekends when he could have his grandson stay over with them.
Leaning forward, (Y/n) took a sip of her hot chocolate and looked beyond the tv at the back garden. They hadn't drawn the blinds yet as both women rather liked watching the storm take hold and seeing the rain splatter down on the glass and sprinkle across the garden.
She looked over at the tv when Athena started searching for a new movie to watch, but she had to set down her mug when her stomach clenched. Her hand drifted beneath her shirt and she covered her grimace by biting down on her bottom lip.
When the baby started wriggling and hurting like this, it was when (Y/n) wished Evan was home with her. He had a knack for distracting her or giving a massage and the baby seemed to love the sound of Evan's voice.
"You okay?"
"Hm, he keeps moving." (Y/n) straightened up to click her spine back into place. And when she noticed Athena looking at her stomach, she smiled and gently took her hand, pressing it to the base of her abdomen.
They shared a smile between them and Athena danced her fingertips along (Y/n)'s stomach for a few moments before she turned to reach for the bag she brought in. She placed it on the floor between them so they could go through the garments together and decide which ones (Y/n) wanted.
It had been lovely that from the moment they told the team, everyone was overjoyed and wanted to be involved. (Y/n) and Evan got so many baby clothes and gifts from everyone that they had items coming out their ears now.
They started going through some items and had a movie on in the background, but (Y/n) could barely pay attention to anything.
Everything hurt.
Her back was twinging and felt like each column of her spine had weights pressed down on it like the bone was about to break. Her stomach was weighing heavy and every time she felt a twinge, she was starting to feel sick.
Maybe she needed to try and relax and get comfy to see if dozing off would take away the pain. God knows she had fallen asleep during enough movie nights with Evan this last month.
She heard Athena mutter something about finding them some snacks and she nodded, forcing herself to smile as she watched Athena head towards the kitchen. But (Y/n) moved her hand back to her stomach and started making slow circles beneath her shirt to see if it would help at all.
But then she felt it. A steady trickle of water between her thighs and a very sharp, tightening pain in her pelvis.
"Mum… ooh, mum!"
"Honey, what's wrong?" Athena set down the bag of goodies on the kitchen side and rushed back into the living room, skidding on the rug on the way.
She wedged herself between the arm of the sofa and the coffee table and knelt down at (Y/n)'s side. She placed one hand on (Y/n)'s knee and the other on her back, wondering if she had suddenly got back pains. Evan mentioned earlier that she had been having pains all week but that was normal.
(Y/n) couldn't bring herself to say anything. She just looked between her parted thighs, the floor, and Athena until her stepmum suddenly got the message and realised what had happened.
Her waters had broken. The pains she had been having all day were actually contractions. She was going into labour during a storm, without Evan here by her side like he promised to be.
"Okay… this is okay, give me a minute I'll go and call Buck."
Athena wasn't stupid. This was not the weather to be driving her daughter down to the materntiy ward at the hospital. She was a good driver, she was safe, she had to be since she was a seargent in the police. But that didn't mean Athena had been trained to drive during storms. It was too dangerous and if she crashed, they might not get help in time. Evan and Bobby might not find them or know what was going on if they crashed.
Staying here and getting help to come to them was by far the better and safer option and they both silently agreed on this.
Shuffling back a little, (Y/n) slumped back into the sofa and let herself sink into the cushions. She moved both her hands to cradle her stomach and began glaring daggers into her bump towards her baby. Why was he choosing to be born now? Why did he think this was a good time? It was two weeks early, right in the middle of a storm. Without Evan.
(Y/n) was expecting to go into labour any time from next week. Evan was supposed to be on shorter shifts as of next week so if this happened and he wasn't home, he could easily find his way back to (Y/n) and be there for her.
Her eyes looked up at Athena as she stood beside the sofa, one hand on (Y/n)'s shoulder and the other holding her phone to her ear.
Evan didn't answer.
"Buck, call me back please. (Y/n)'s gone into labour." She hung up after leaving a message and tried to ring Bobby instead.
He didn't answer either.
"Bobby, honey you and Buck need to come home when you get this message. (Y/n)'s with me and she's gone into labour. Call me."
Tears began to trace down (Y/n)'s face. She was afraid of this, it was her worst nightmare coming true. She knew the job was hectic and unpredictable, but she wanted Evan to be home when she went into labour, not out at work. She didn't want to be doing this by herself. Her only saving grace was she had decided to come here to be with Athena. She wouldn't have been able to do this on her own, at home.
Her eyes focused on Athena as she tried to smile and dialled for the emergency services instead. They would need to take (Y/n) to hospital soon and Athena wouldn't be able to do that. She would need medical help too if they had to wait a while for an ambulance to arrive.
"911, what's your emergency?"
"This is seargent Grant, I need an ambulance to my address. My daughter's gone into labour and she's thirty-eight weeks pregnant."
"How advanced is labour?"
"Her water just broke."
"Then can you keep her comfortable? With the storm, we have a backlog of emergencies and limited teams to dispatch. The current wait is almost two hours."
Panic struck a cord in Athena's chest and her hand tightened around (Y/n)'s shoulder. What were they supposed to do? Was Athena supposed to deliver her own grandson because they couldn't put this as a priority call? This was a woman going into labour, anything could happen or go wrong, they needed help and transport to the hospital.
"Make this a priority." Was Athena's response. They could wait a while, they might be able to wait an hour, but they needed help.
"Mum?" (Y/n) tilted her head back on the sofa and looked up at Athena. She wasn't sure she wanted to know what the dispatcher was saying. Why couldn't Maddie have been on shift today and answered their call? She could have talked them through this and got through to the team and sorted everything out. Maddie was calm during a crisis.
"Help will be here soon, honey."
They needed the team. They needed Evan and Bobby.
***
Tears traced down (Y/n)'s face almost as badly as the storm raging outside. Her hands clenched down on the back of the armchair and when a contraction tore through her stomach, she bit down on her lip so hard she drew blood. Her shaking arms pressed down on the chair and she leaned forward, burrowing her face into her arms.
Her back arched out and her legs began to shake from how tense they were straining to keep herself upright.
She felt Athena's hand rub up and down her back, but it wasn't the touch she wanted. It wasn't Evan. The thought made her tears fall faster and a lump formed in her throat. She shifted her weight from foot to foot and let out a scream when another pain tore her pelvis to shreds.
With a muffled scream, (Y/n) leaned over the back of the chair and scrambled around until she found her phone. She wasn't doing this alone. She wasn't having this baby without Evan. Someone was going to get the word through to him that he needed to come home. Now.
"911, what's your emergency?"
"I n- I need you to contact the 118." She gruffed, breathing through clenched teeth as her head started to go fuzzy.
"I'm sorry?"
"LAFD 118, get Buckley on the line- oow!" (Y/n) dug her nails so tightly into her phone she worried she was going to crack the screen. Her forehead pressed back down into the armchair while Athena moved her hands to hold her shoulders.
"Miss, what's your name and the nature of your emergency-"
"Get Buckley!" (Y/n) all but screamed before she held the phone to her left to try and get Athena to make the man understand.
She needed Evan. She knew dispatch could get on the radio frequency and contact the team because clearly they were out on a call. None of the team were answering their phones and (Y/n) was getting closer and closer to giving birth. If she had to do this without Evan she was never going to get over it. She wanted him here.
"Sir, you need to contact the 118 fire station and tell them that firefighter Buckley's wife is in labour. We called over an hour ago and we still haven't received any medical help. Tell Mr Buckley and Captain Nash the situation, now."
"Dispatch to Captain Nash?"
"Go ahead dispatch." Bobby gripped the radio on his shoulder but he could barely feel his fingers despite the thick gloves he was wearing. The cold from the storm was seeping into his bones by now and the rain had thoroughly soaked through his uniform to the point he felt like he was swimming.
"Is Buckley with you?"
A frown pulled on Bobby's face and he waved his hand over at Evan, shouting his name through the howling wind that was screaming at them all to go home.
"I have Buckley with me, what's the problem dispatch?" He wasn't sure why he needed his son in law here for whatever message they were about to receive. But something deep in his gut told him this wasn't going to be for anything good.
"We have Mr Buckley's wife on the line, she says she's in labour."
All the blood drained down to Evan's toes and his eyes locked with Bobby but neither of them could find words.
He shouldn't have come on shift this afternoon. He shouldn't have left (Y/n) at all this week to go to work, he should have stayed with her. He knew she hadn't seemed herself this morning when he dropped her off at Athena's. Thank God he took her there and didn't leave her home alone.
"Is she okay? Is she at the hospital?!" Evan shouted down the radio and leaned as close as he could to try and listen for the crackling response. The storm was creating a vivid distraction, he could barely see and now he could barely hear the dispatcher.
"We haven't managed to get a unit to her address yet-"
"Then don't. We're on our way."
"Oh God, mum…" (Y/n) lowered herself down to her knees and meshed her face into the back of the chair. Her fingers were about to dig through the top of the chair and her knees began to quake and cause friction against the carpet.
She barely managed to lift her head up to look to the side when she heard footsteps, but a sob bubbled up at the back of her throat when she looked over at Athena.
She was hurrying back into the living room with a bowl of hot water. There were towels, a few old blankets, gloves and scissors on the coffee table and the sight made (Y/n) want to be sick. She couldn't do this. She couldn't give birth here, at her parent's home, in the middle of a raging hurricane storm. This wasn't how it was supposed to go.
"Okay honey, I need to check how far along you are-"
"No, I c- I can't… hospital. We have t-to go," Her lips rolled together as she tilted her head back to look up at Athena with pleading eyes.
"Let me see how far dilated you are, then we can worry about the team tranferring you. This is just a precaution, okay honey?" Athena needed to be prepared. She had a gut feeling that (Y/n) had been in labour for a few hours now. The constant back pain all day and the twinges and pains she had been having which she could have mistook for general pains instead of the beginning of labour.
She might be too far dilated for anyone to move her once help arrived. The 118 were leaving their latest call and diverting straight over here which meant Evan knew what was happening. And he would be here soon for the birth of his son. But Athena needed to know if she had to step in or if they would have enough time to get her in the ambulance and down to the hospital.
Shifting to the right, (Y/n) let Athena grip her arms and carefully help her up to her feet. She held onto Athena's shoulders and tucked her chin down into her chest, wheezing through crackling breaths when another contraction hit.
Her hands gripped the arm of the sofa and she doubled over, arching her lower back out.
A strangled wheeze spluttered through her lips and she tried not to cry out while Athena laid a few blankets over the sofa.
When she sat down, (Y/n) slumped down as much as she could until her thighs were barely on the sofa and she felt like she was going to slide right down to the floor. Her hands pressed into the sofa to steady herself and she let her head tilt back into the cushion.
Her lips formed a broken smile and she huffed, feeling a laugh mixing in with her broken cry.
"You're s-supposed to be my- my birthing partner, not my midwife."
Athena's smile made her heart soften somewhat, but she couldn't help but feel uneasy and angry at the same time. This wasn't fair. She was supposed to go into labour at home with Evan right next to her. They were meant to ring Bobby and Athena, all meet at the hospital and she wanted Athena and Evan in the room with her.
But not like this. Athena wasn't supposed to be acting as midwife, delivering her baby during a storm with no help and no Evan in sight.
"And why can't I be both, at least until help arrives?" Athena patted (Y/n)'s knee, but when she turned around and grabbed a pair of gloves from the table, (Y/n) tensed up.
"Mum-"
"Honey, your dilated already, but it's okay. Buck will be right through that door in no time."
She grimaced and sank back on her heels when (Y/n) screamed, and not from the pain. Her hands moved to her stomach and she pressed down like she was trying to keep the baby right where he was and prevent him from moving.
She wasn't doing this without Evan. He had to be here, this was the part he was most excited about. Evan had been expecting to be with (Y/n) when she got the first pains and when her water broke. He thought he would be driving her to the hospital, not travelling through the rain to reach her in time.
Another scream broke past (Y/n)'s lips and she shrank back into the sofa when a horrible bang shot through the house.
The front door swung so far that the door handle crashed into the wall and created a dent in the plaster. Evan planted his hand down on the door to prevent it from swinging back at him and he barged inside, followed swiftly by his father in law.
"Baby?!"
"LAFD!" Bobby called out at the same time, his breathing ragged and a trace of a smile on his lips as the team followed him inside his home.
Evan shook his head from side to side and he dragged a hand over his eyes and nose, clearing away the sheen of water cascading down his face, blocking his vision.
"Evan- oow, Evan!"
Flinging himself around the corner, Evan skidded on the carpet and catapulted over to the sofa wedged in the corner of the room beside the fireplace. He practically jumped down on the sofa, bashing his shoulder into the back frame which sent a jolt running down to his fingertips.
"I- are we- I haven't missed it?!" Terror and dread flooded his voice as he shed his gloves so he could take (Y/n)'s hand in his.
"You're just in time. Where's Hen? She's too far gone to move her, this baby's coming now." Athena waved her hand towards the top of the stairs where Hen, Chimney and Eddie were following inside with medic bags and a gurney between them. They slammed the door shut, keeping out the raging storm that sent frozen chills throughout the air and had them all shivering at the temperature change.
"Thank fuck! Oh baby, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
When Evan leaned across and pressed his frozen lips to her temple, (Y/n) cried out and reeled back as his helmet smashed into the top of her head.
"Evan." She snapped, giving his helmet a rough shove and she dragged her eyes up and down his overalls. She could feel the rain seeping into her shirt and soaking through the blanket laid out on the sofa beneath them.
"Oh," A sheepish smile pulled at his lips and he wrenched up from the sofa, tossing his helmet down to the floor. The helmet had saved him from getting his head caved in outside from the storm.
His arms flung out behind him and he tore off his overcoat and unhooked his suspenders. In one fell swoop, he shoved down his overalls that were drenched through and through and stumbled out of them so he was in his cotton shirt and trousers. He kicked his uniform to the side, grateful when Bobby moved them out the way as he shed his own jacket and helmet now they were inside.
His trousers and shirt were damp, they were almost as drenched as his overalls, but he was at least a bit dryer like this and a lot more comfortable. Once he shed his second skin, Evan slumped back down on the sofa.
He curled one leg up beneath him and shuffled across until he could loop his left arm around the back of (Y/n)'s shoulders. Her head fell on his shoulder so he could feel each harsh, gasping breath she took fan against his neck. And he held his right hand out in front of her so (Y/n) could put his fist in her grip and cling tightly to him.
"Hen, she's crowning." Athena snapped off her gloves and moved to sit on (Y/n)'s other side on the sofa so Hen could take her place.
"I leave you for one day and look what you do… trying to have him without me, hm?" Evan muttered the words quietly against her temple and he ran his hand up and down her arm.
He felt (Y/n) try to laugh but she broke off into a groan when her stomach tightened. She shifted her weight from her heels to her toes to try and steady herself so she didn't slump forward, but all she wanted to do was crumple down to the floor and fold in on herself.
"I thought y-you wouldn't make it," (Y/n) closed her eyes and leaned further into Evan, pulling his hand up to her chest as she screamed.
"I know, I know baby but I'm here now. We're all here,"
"Really big push (Y/n), and the head will be born." Hen snapped on a pair of gloves, shed her jacket and helmet and grabbed one of the towels from the table. She laid it over her lap as she knelt down on the floor. She could feel Bobby hovering on her left near Evan while Chimney and Eddie hung back at the stairs. They didn't want to overpower (Y/n) and flood her with people when that would be the last thing she needed.
"Here we go," Evan murmured into her hair, giving her hand a squeeze, although he could barely feel his hand anymore from how tightly she was gripping him.
The moment Hen announced the head was out, (Y/n) opened her eyes as Evan leaned forward to take a look which in turn made (Y/n) lean over a little. She kept his hand held to her chest and moved her free hand to hold his thigh, steadying herself on the edge of the sofa.
"Small pushes, panting breaths, you're almost done now (Y/n)."
(Y/n) could see stars dancing across her eyes when that last push finally worked. Her head slumped against Evan's neck and she could feel him laughing into her hair as he let go of her hand to cup the back of her neck.
"That's my girl." He spoke against her temple, brushing his thumb up and down the side of her neck as he suddenly realised he was swaying them both back and forth.
"Buck, you wanna do the honours?" Hen held out a pair of scissors after she's clamped the cord and her cheesy smile made Evan laugh.
He carefully unwound his arms from (Y/n) and eased her back into Athena's embrace who held her tight and kissed the back of her head. He shuffled to the edge of the sofa and leaned over, trying to stop his hands from shaking when he leaned down to cut the cord.
"Here's your beautiful boy." Hen praised, lifting up the wriggling newborn who had no trouble taking his first breath and using it to scream and announce his presence.
(Y/n) could feel herself shaking against Athena when her baby boy was delicately laid on her chest. She tightened the towel around him and tried to hold him as carefully as she could. His tiny fist wormed beneath the collar of her shirt and rested on her chest while his cheek pressed down beneath her shoulder.
Her eyes sparkled when Evan's hand curled on top of her own, cradling the back of their son's head while he perched his chin on (Y/n)'s shoulder. He pressed an open-mouthed kiss against her neck and glued his chest up into her shoulder, smiling down at the little boy that brought tears to his eyes.
"Do we have a name?" Athena spoke quietly, rubbing her hand up and down (Y/n)'s arm.
When she looked up, she smiled at Bobby who sat down on the arm of the sofa just behind Evan. He leaned over for a first look at his grandson, the person he had been waiting months to meet. And the sight had him smiling from ear to ear.
"Yeah, uh… Bobby."
"What?" Reaching out, Bobby planted his hand on Evan's shoulder but he couldn't tear his eyes away from his grandson to look at his son in law and see what he wanted. Did he want Bobby to pick a name? Was he asking him something and he just couldn't concentrate?
"No," A wide grin broke out on Evan's face as he lifted his chin from (Y/n)'s shoulder to look behind him at his captain. "That's his name, Bobby. After you."
Tilting her head to the right, (Y/n) leaned her temple against Evan's cheek and tiredly smiled up at her dad. They had already agreed as soon as they thought about boy names that their boy would be named after Bobby. He was one of the most important people in (Y/n)'s life, he was her dad and they had been through so much together.
And he was more than just a Captain to Evan. He had become a father figure to him, he looked out for him and took him under his wing. Bobby loved and cared for Evan better than his own parents did, and that was the kind of parent Evan wanted to be to his boy.
"You… you're naming him after me?"
(Y/n) nodded and smiled back down at her little baby as she tucked herself more into Evan's side. She could see her dad grinning through his tears. He was happy. He was proud.
"Baby Bobby."

thank you bestie, i love your writing <3
lover - e.b
Tumblr media
summary: request
evan buckley x reader
gif from @eddiemunsens
a/n: what tswift album do u guys think the 118 are 🤭 also what happens to yn is inspired by an episode of s19 that i love sm it’s so funny :))
buck knew the second y/n got pregnant that he wasn’t leaving. two years of dating is a short time to have a child, but they loved each other more than anyone. they knew they could give a child a good life, so they went with it.
all three of them moved to la, so buck could work with the LAFD and y/n could get to a higher position at work. their life there was immaculate. their little family was thriving, so buck put a ring on her finger. he didn’t even hesitate to buy the biggest one he saw, because he loved y/n the second he met her, and he emotionally couldn’t wait anymore. the words husband and wife rang in his ears, making him drop a dumbfounded grin.
no one at work knew, he didn’t really know what they thought of him. his team knew he was too fine to not have anyone, so they figured he was just with some girls here and there. the last thing they expected was a child and a fiancé along with it. it never came up in conversation, but buck still didn’t bother. he didn’t want to face any judgement from people that he didn’t already get from his family. the constant scrutiny about his age and his girl was exhausting.
now, neither of them would’ve changed it for the world. buck can’t imagine himself happier or in a life without them. it hurts him to even consider what would happen if y/n and his little boy weren’t there. he always gazed at them playing, sometimes just wanting to observe their brilliance.
buck knew he would have to explain to his team that he’s married, and that doesn’t mean he’s ashamed. he wants the world to know, but he doesn’t want y/n to be hurt by opinions from other people. he didn’t realize how soon he would have to until the alarm rang and until dispatch came through with the address. it was their house. the house where buck and y/n raised their son and the one where either could be hurt. every single scenario waved over buck, making him panic more by the second.
“you good, kid?” bobby asks, taking note of his bouncing knee.
“uh.. yeah! yeah, i’m fine,” he lies. buck hasn’t been with them for more than a year, so they just pass it along, not knowing any better. buck climbs out of the truck, grabbing a few tools before sprinting toward the house. now, the teams more alarmed. what is it about this house is making him act like a maniac?
“y/n?” buck calls out, running around trying to find her.
“kitchen!” she yells out, sounded distressed which only makes buck move even quicker. when he walks in, he immediately notices her leaning over the sink, her hand in the disposal. bobby and the rest of his crew walk in behind him, the four of them standing in the kitchen staring at her. “well?”
“oh-“ bobby moves, starting to gather some more tools out of his bag.
“what the hell happened?”
“i dropped my ring down, and i was trying to make him lunch,” she nods to the baby, sitting on the floor happily, clearly having no idea what’s happening. “i don’t even know why i tried to grab it, like some idiot!”
“hey,” buck says, walking over to her and placing a hand on her shoulder. “you’ll be fine, y/s/n is fine, yeah?” she looks up at him and nods, brushing her hair with her free hand.
“should we know the kids name too?” chim asks, giving buck a completely bamboozled expression. y/n passes buck the same face as hen walks over to check her hand. buck can’t get around it this time, and he wants them to know for once.
“um, guys,” he starts. “this is my fiancé, y/n and my son.”
“your what?” hen shouts, peeking her head out from behind y/n’s shoulder. she gives hen an awkward smile and buck stands there stiffly, worried about their reaction. everyone looks around at each other in shock that buck has his own family, and they didn’t even know.
“why didn’t you tell us?” bobby wonders.
“because i didn’t know how you’d react! i’ve heard it all from my parents, i didn’t need any more.”
“buck, we would’ve welcomed you no matter what your home life is. we’d love to get to know you and your family despite how it might’ve happened,” hen tells him, kindly. buck is confronted with immediate love, something he’s not to familiar with other than when his shifts end and he’s in y/n’s arms again. he’s surprised to say the least. he expected at lease some judgement, but there was nothing of the sort in the room.
“i’m thrilled you’re all having a nice moment here,” y/n interrupts. “but can we maybe get my hand out of my sink?”
buck and bobby pull the cabinets open and start drilling at the pipes underneath. buck secures the ring in his fingers before beaming up at y/n, showing her that he found it. “i got it!” he replies excitedly. “thank god, i don’t know if i have insurance for this thing. cost me my left leg,” he whispers to bobby. once they fully disconnect the system, hen slowly drags her bloody hand out and wraps it up. she hisses at the contact of the gauze and antiseptics. chimney starts to clean up the rest of the supplies, as hen treats the wound.
“so,” chimney begins. “when’s the wedding?”
“time and place, chim,” hen tells him. “time and place. but, yeah, are we invited?”
“yes,” buck says, obviously. “you’re invited.” he moves over to scoop his baby off the ground, carrying him over to his friends. they all speak to him in their little baby voices, and y/n watches with a shining smile on her face. buck knows he did the right thing, but he wishes he didn’t wait as long. now, he is certain that he has two solid families.

Athena x Daughter!reader - your support
Tumblr media
Heya please could I request a Athena x daughter reader where Thena finds about her self harm and helps her clean them and comfort them ? -Anon💜
TW: mentions of self harm
You had been trying to hide these for months, doing anything you could to avoid showing any sign of what was going on.
You wore longer sleeves, more hoodies and jackets, slowly introducing them so it didn’t seem weird or suspicious.
You would only do it when your mom wasn’t home, when you knew you wouldn’t get caught, and this was one of those nights.
She had gone out with some friends, and you were sat in the bathroom, tears running down your face as you looked at the mess you had made.
You hate this, you hated that you felt like you needed to do this but you couldn’t stop either.
You sighed, looking at the doorway and you immediately froze when your eyes connected with the familiar brown ones you knew all to well.
“Mom…”
“Baby what have you done…?” She whispered.
Athena slowly came in, crouching down in front of you as tears streamed down your face.
“What have you done..?” She asked again.
“It’s not.. it’s not threatening..”
You whispered.
She looked around you at the mess, the blood on the floor, the towel, the medical supplies and the object you had done this with.
She picked it up, getting up she wordlessly flushed it down the toilet and you couldn’t bring yourself to look at her.
Athena crouched back down, looked at you avoiding her gaze.
“Why.. I don’t.. why would you feel like you have to do this..?”
You didn’t reply.
“Give me your arm.”
You shook your head, holding it closer to your body.
“(Y/N) grant I swear to god you better show me your arm now or so help me…” she warned.
Athena wasn’t angry at you, she knew how that came across but she wasn’t made at you.
She was scared, and she needed to see if you needed medical help or not and she couldn’t risk you hiding your arm from her.
You reached out your arm and she carefully took it, inspecting it before she started to clean the wounds and tending to them.
“Mom I can do it..” you whispered.
“I’ll do it.” She said.
You nodded weakly and you looked up at her, tears running down her face as she help you.
Once Athena was done she stood up and held her hand out to you.
“I’ll clean this up later, come on baby.” She said softly.
You let her help you up, and take you to her room and she sat you on her bed, and she began to pace up and down.
“Are you angry?” You asked quietly.
Your mom stopped pacing and she walked over, sitting next you she placed her hand on the side of your face, making you looked at her.
“I’m not angry, of course not. I’m just … I’m upset and scared.. why would you do this to yourself..? My sweet babygirl why would you scar your skin?”
You rested up again and you threw you arms around you mum and she quickly hugged you back, her tears soaking your shoulder.
“I’m so sorry mom! I.. I wanted to stop..!” You sobbed.
Athena ran her hand up and down your back, kissing the top of your head.
“I don’t want to loose you (Y/N)…”
You kept crying, apologising again and again and again to her.
Because you didn’t know what else to you, you couldn’t take back what you had done, you knew that.
Athena held you in her arms.
“Tell me why you did this.”
You nodded and pulled back as you began to explain everything to her and she sat there patiently listening to you explain it all.
Once you were done she took your face in her hands and titled your head up to look at her.
“You are beautiful. You are strong. You are smart. Yo are so loved. So, so much. I’m gonna help you okay? We’re gonna get through this together, me and you, got it?”
You nodded your head and she leant forward, kissing your forehead.
“Get some sleep, I’ll be back in a few minutes alright?”
“I love you mom.”
“I love you so much.” She smiled softly.
You crawled under the covers of her bed and watched her leave.
Athena leant against the wall as she let her tears fall down her face again, and she tried to compose herself once more for you.
You needed her to be strong right now, you needed her support

When you woke up, you already knew what had happened and why you were in a bare room that smelled of nothing but disinfectant and rubber gloves. You could still clearly remember last night when you came home from work exhausted and already were frustrated at the front door about how the apartment looked like, knowing that you still had to clean up the apartment after your hard shift.
It started with a little question about the simple why and eventually, a trifle ignited an argument. Unstoppable screaming that started with yelling words at each other intended to hurt the other turned into an even more reckless verbal assault from her.
She was about a head taller and stronger than you, and even if you tried to fight back, she would be brutally pinning you against the wall in no time. You could fell bruises everywhere instantly when your back hit the wall and angry flashing eyes looked down at you. From then on, the blue miracle began.
You shook your head roughly to free yourself from the memories of the previous night and slowly, you turned to the side and narrowed your eyes sharply as an unspeakable pain ripped through your body.
You closed your eyes and tried to focus on your own heartbeat as your hearing prioritized the voices outside the door. You were able to sort out agitation and irritability in the individual voices and listened intently.
"You are not authorized to enter the room. You are not a relative. In addition, the condition of my patient.." the doctor said in a shrill voice and you heard the material of her smock scratching on the door- she probably had her arms crossed and demonstratively placed herself in the doorway to your room.
"I am Athena Grant, I am working as a field sergeant at the Los Angeles Police Department. She is my partner and I want to see her." stated the policewoman hard, raised her eyebrows defiantly and thus interrupted the doctor´s sentence.
This, who was hardly older than 40, sighed hard and watched her opposite with a look. She was almost intimidated by the self-confidence that oozed out of Athena and she nodded with defeat. "If so, I will let you in. But I cannot promise you she will be awake. She is badly injured."
She hastily pushed herself past her and entered the room with caution. The door creaked shut, despite the effort to close it quietly and she cursed herself under her breath.
"Y/n.." the black haired walked over to your bed and carefully grasped the hand that was resting on the side of your body. You slowly opened your eyes and blinked several times. Your gaze was blurred and limited, but you recognized the special way her fingers danced on the back of your hand immediately. "…thena."
She swallowed hard at the sight of you. Your left eye was completely swollen shut and blue, your lip was split and a scratch ran down your cheekbone to the center of your jaw. Your arms were covered with bruises that shone in all colors on your skin- fresh as well as already healing ones and your torso, which was fixated with tape, indicated that you had at least one rib broken. "What the hell happened? Who was that?"
You kept staring at her, your mouth opening and closing. You knew there was no point in lying, she was way too good at her job for that. You carefully lifted your head a little to look into her eyes. A few moments passed before your facial expressions changed an tears welled up in your eyes.
"My girlfriend.." you stammered, but the lump in your throat choked off any voice. "She did that."
Athena´s jaw dropped and she looked at you in shook and disbelief. "How long?"
You sighed softly and closed your heavy and tired eyes; the images from all the times your girlfriend had hurt you coming up again and finally letting the tears flow. "A few months."
"Sweetheart.." she held your hand even tighter, stroked the back of your hand soothingly and sat down on the free space at your waist. "I will make sure you are safe from now on. I will help you get away from this woman and I will protect you at all cost with my whole life. You are not alone anymore."
Alone. That was the cue. You had felt alone, lonely and cold but it felt good and right to be able to tell the truth to your best friend. You trusted her with your life.
After days of being tied to the bed and feeling like you were in prison, you were finally released with a clear conscience and Athena took you home. But not back to your apartment, no. It was her house you found yourself after you felt asleep in the car, where you should stay for a while as long as she wasn't sure that the person who did this to you would be charged and stand trial.
Even when you asked her to change the locks on your doors and be allowed back into your own apartment because you didn´t feel comfortable sleeping at hers when she had a family to care of her own, she strongly said no and you felt defeated.
There was no point in arguing with her. The woman remained stubborn.
---
Michael had suspected it, always known it but never wanted to believe his own thoughts.
The tall man sat uneasily at the kitchen counter, tipping down a much too generously poured glass of scotch, that he desperately needed now, while staring at his wife, which was leaning on the stove in front of him and biting her lip anxiously.
He knew the alcohol didn´t solve his current emotional state and situation, but it did help him get over the news.
"Michael, I really love her and I have realized that now." The bald man gave a short snort, shook his head and took a long gulp of the burning alcohol. Just thinking about his wife having a crush on her partner and letting her throw away 14 years of marriage hurt him so much that his soul could not get enough of that tanned, hard liquor in his hands.
He had always expected it, repetitive when Athena became a completely different and brighter person with you, when she always stood next to you at parties and celebration and gave you the same look she had given him years ago when she still was in love with him.
There had been indications of this so often and he had disregarded and suppressed them every time. "When I saw her in the hospital, my heart broke into a thousand pieces and I realized my love for her. I did not want to admit it to myself, tried to suppress the feelings but I cannot do it anymore."
Michael wasn´t angry. Rather he was delighted to see the person he valued the most in life happy. Even if it wasn´t with him.
"When are you going to tell her? You can´t dance around each other for life." he asked and his gaze turned once more to his wife. She looked at him questioningly as if she didn´t know what he meant by his previous said sentence. "Around each other? What do you mean?"
"Tell me, are you blind? The feelings are not one-sided. She has feelings for you too and has been for quite a while."
A short but deep silence settled between the two. Athena closed her eyes and shook her head, unsure of the truth of his observation.
"He is right." It was not a second before her head snapped in the direction of your words, startled, and she bit the inner of her cheek as she realized what the two of them had revealed through their conversation. "How much did you hear?"
"I am standing here long enough to confirm that your feelings are not the only ones." The black haired woman, who had recently confessed her love to you unnoticed, looked at you with big dull eyes.
"We have known each other for so long and I still remember exactly how we met back then. You were and still are perfection in my eyes and it might sound surprising to you because I never showed it to you because I was afraid of destroying your marriage but I have loved you for what seems like forever. I am not sure how to put into words how I fell about you but god damn, I love you so much."

Tumblr media
Pairing: Athena Grant x fem!Wilson!reader

A/N: lil something for my female Athena simps, because personally I love this woman so much so this was kinda for myself too
Request: Yes @unstablekay
Jamie Wilson. Younger sister of Henrietta Wilson, and Detective for the LAPD in Precinct 51. In all her years of living, she never would’ve thought she would be pushed up against a locker in the station's locker room, but here she is with Sergeant Athena Grant. One hand fisted her black button-up and the other was in her long curls. To someone else, this would be some kind of violent encounter, but this was actually a regular routine they went through whenever they were paired together on a case.
“I really did love how you handled that interrogation, Ms. Detective,” Athena smirks, more so at the visible shock on Jamie’s face at being caught off guard like this. Athena wouldn’t normally do this in the station, but rather outside in the parking lot or one of their houses (when her kids weren’t home of course). Though the shock faded once she fully comprehended her familiar confession, a sly smirk of her own dawning her red lips.
“I’m pleased you enjoyed the show, Sergeant, I was hoping you’d like it.” And in the heat of it all, the heavy breathing from their proximity, lips barely touching, Jamie took the leap of faith and closed the tiny space between them.
