It was a quarter to eleven when Bobby and Athena walked through the door of their home. They just returned from Elaine’s Halloween party. Distracted, Bobby spun Athena around and pulled her in his arms for a kiss. He tasted the sweetness of the apple cider she’d had earlier on her tongue. Since they’d left home, Bobby could think of nothing but getting back home to get her out of the short dress and thigh high boots she wanted to call a costume. It’s the reason he suggested they come home sooner than expected. The kids had their own plans, so the house would be nice and quiet for them to do whatever they wanted.

His hand crept along her neck down the front of her dress to loosen the ties when he heard, “kids in the room.” He still had enough self control left to keep the string of expletives in his head as he looked to see May and Harry sitting on the couch in front of the tv.

Athena looked at him sheepishly as he reluctantly let her go, she was caught up on the moment as he was. She cleared her throat and gathered her composure before asking “what are you you guys doing home?” Putting a bit of space between them.

“Sam got sick, so the party and sleep over was cancelled,” Harry said simply as he continued to fiddle with the remote in his hand.

“What happened?” Athena asked as she walked down the stairs and further into the living room. She sat on the arm of the sofa next to Harry.

“We had a candy eating contest. He lost. His parents kinda freaked out and ended things.” Athena eyed Bobby as he walked into the kitchen, chuckling.

“Why didn’t you call us?”

“I texted May, she told me not to, said that she would come get me,” Harry told her. He reached over to the other side of the couch to grab one of the cookies May had and was met with a smack to the hand. “Ow! Mom tell her to give me a cookie.”

“May, give him one, you know you aren’t gonna eat all of those.” Athena tried.

“Who ain’t?” May countered around the mouth full of cookie. Taking a second to eat another and swallow, she said, “besides, these were made specifically for me.”

“Says who?”

“That batch that May has was made specifically for her.” Bobby jumped in, making May smile. He removed the baking sheet from the oven and placed it on the counter, “there were by more I’d left cooling in the oven, you can have some of these.” Harry got up and ran into the kitchen.

Turning her attention towards her daughter, “so I take you had a similar story. I’m not gonna assume you were just that eager to get your brother.”

“The new friend I was supposed to be meeting there ghosted me,” May answered simply without looking at her mom.

“I’m sorry that happened. I’d be happy to talk to him for you.” May knew her mom was only half joking.

“No, god no. I know all about you and your talking.” May joked lightly, remembering what happened two years ago, when her mom “talked” to the girl that was bullying her.

“And everyone at the school thought twice before messing with you.” Her mom had a point, no one had bothered her since.

“Anyway,” May sighed, “it’s cool, I was starting to feel some type of way about him anyway, to be honest. The convo wasn’t there and he seemed kind of flaky. He just confirmed what I was already thinking about him. The party was kinda lame anyway, there wasn’t anybody I was friends with there. I was about to leave when Harry texted me.”

“I don’t think I have to tell you that there will be plenty of opportunities to make other friends.” Athena smiled, taking the opportunity to sit next to him.

“I know.” May placed her head on Athena’s shoulder. May lifted her head when Bobby and Harry walked back into the room with more snacks. “Well, we’re all here together, now what?”

“Wanna join in on the Netflix scary movie marathon?” May asked, “that’s what Harry and I were going to do before you guys walked in.”

“Sure.” Athena said.

“Why not?” Bobby said.

“Cool,” Harry took his spot on the floor near May’s side of the couch and control of the remote, “each person picks what movie they want to watch. I was go lung first. We’re watching Candyman.”

He grabbed one of the bowls of popcorn and started eating as the film started. May turned off the lamp near her, casting a darkness over the room only illuminated by the moon and tv. Both having removed their shoes, Bobby and Athena found themselves cuddled together at the other end of the couch.

As the movie played, Athena could feel Bobby pulling her tighter during jump scare and gory parts. Bobby wasn’t a man that scared easily, but she also knew that horror movies weren’t his thing.

“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”

“You’re not funny.”

Athena chuckled looking over to her children, who were watching intently, completely unphased, even laughing at some parts while doing running commentary. She shook her head, turning her attention back to the movie.

That’s how it continued for the rest of the night. Throughout May’s pick, The Autopsy of Jane Doe and Athena’s Poltergeist, the night had been filled with creeps, jump scares, and, oddly enough, some laughs from the children. She been surprised to see that everyone had stayed awake so long. She had to move because Bobby had to get up, prompting to check her phone seeing it was after two in the morning now.

As Athena turned her attention back to the movie and during a particularly dark scene two hands unexpectedly wrapped around her neck and low growl rumbled in here ear, startling her. She yelped, turning quickly to find husband laughing.

She reached out and swatted at him, “Damn it, Bobby, I’m gonna kill you for that.”

“Worth it.” May and Harry’s laughter could be heard as well.

Athena rolled her eyes and settled back down on the couch as Bobby took his seat next her. “Yeah, we’ll see how much it was worth it” she grumbled. Bobby didn’t react, fully knowing that she wouldn’t stay mad at him long.

And he was right.

Three-fourths of the way through Bobby’s pick, Sleepy Hollow, Athena was nestled in his arms again half asleep. May and Harry had dosed off earlier, sprawled out on their end of the couch. At now, well after 4 am, Bobby reached for the remote, careful not to jostle Athena too much, turning off the TV. The room was almost completely darkened, only illuminated by the soft bluish light of the the Blue Moon peaking through the window.

More than ready to get some sleep himself, he moved slightly to get in a more comfortable position. He wrapped his arms around his wife and settled. He was almost asleep when he heard Athena’s whispered, “don’t think I forgot about earlier.”

An audible sigh was his only response.

#12 surprised date while working late....911 Bobby and athena

I was finally able to get around to writing this. Sorry about the lateness. I’m not going to preface it too much and just let you read it. I hope you like it! Thank you for prompting me.

“Hey, it’s Valentine’s Day. I just wanted to tell her that I loved her,” Silverman said cheekily, as Athena’s handcuffed the struggling man with ease and placed him In Clark’s squad car.

“Of course you did. Just like you have the last 6000 times this month.” Athena rolled her eyes at the man, annoyed that this was the 4th time this week she was arresting him. “Do you know what the words restraining order mean?”

“Oh, come on, she didn’t mean that! She was just playing,” looking past her he see the complainant, Brittni, standing on the sidewalk talking with one of the other officers, “tell ‘em, baby, tell ‘em that I love you. You didn’t mean all those things-“ Athena, having heard this speech way too many times this week, closed the door.

She could still hear his muffled words of “affection” as she walked away. Before walking to her squad car, she walked where Brittni stood talking to Derek. “When we take him in this time, leave him there.” Brittni had the good sense to look sheepish and gave a nod. Athena nodded back choosing not to say anything else and praying that she heads her warning this time. She gave a look to Derek and patted him on the shoulder before walking back to her own squad car.

She spotted her young protege, Braxton, leaning against the hood, giving her a hand clap as she walked to the car. “Nicely done, Sarg.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Unfortunately, it’s all in vain. Knowing these two, we’ll be back.” Athena told her as she got into the driver’s side.

“I bet you lunch tomorrow, he’ll bail out and be back here by the end of the day today,” Braxton flopped down in the passenger seat, “today is Love Day, after all. Makes people do the most.”

“I’m not even going to take you up on that because I know it’s a losing battle.” Athena gazed out at the young woman, “now if only the two of them could figure that out.”

Braxton chuckled and was about to comment when the beeping of her phone caught her attention. She fished the device out of her pocket and smiled when she saw the text notification over the lock screen photo of her family.

From: Mr. Sarg 🙃 Does she suspect anything?

Braxton smiled down at her phone as she thought fondly about Bobby’s plan. She stole a look at Athena, who was currently concentrating on writing notes on her tablet. She knew that Bobby kept this solely between the two of them and she hadn’t told anyone.

Nah, she has no idea.😉

After replying, she closed her messages and went to the notes app, to read over the plan once more. She thought it was sweet, what Bobby was doing for them tonight and she was happy to be involved.

“Is there a reason you’re smiling so much over there?” Braxton startled a bit at the sound of Athena’s voice. She looked up to see her Sergeant eyeing her questioningly.

“Oh yeah, Jay sent me some cute pictures of her cuddling with the pups and some loving messages,” Braxton lied smoothly as she locked her phone and dropped in her lap.

Athena’s gazed at the young rookie, questioning whether or not she believed her. Braxton steeled herself with another line of questioning when,

“All available units, back up requested in Lincoln Heights. Domestic dispute turned hostage situation, suspect appears to be armed.”

“That’s like the next ‘hood over from here.”

Athena flopped her head back against the seat and sighed audibly, “love day, my ass,” she grumbled. Picking up her radio, she responded, “dispatch, unit 212 responding, we’re in route now.”

“Today’s so fun. I love working on Holidays,” Braxton joked. Athena just eyed her as she put the car in gear and drove towards the next call. As much as they disliked it, rise in domestics and similar calls was par for the course on holidays, especially Valentine’s Day.

That’s how the rest of the day went. Their shift was full of domestics and extravagant gestures gone wrong. As the evening settled into night, things started to wind down and they were just patrolling, nothing happening except a couple or routine traffic stops. That was normal though. There was always an “an eye in the storm” so to speak, before the craziness picked back up again.

“It’s almost your break time, Sarg.” Braxton commented as they rode through the streets.

“Is it? I didn’t even notice. The hours tend to run together on these type of days.” She stifled a yawn as she rubbed her eyes. It didn’t matter how long she’d been doing this, she’d never be used to these type of days, especially when she had someone she’d rather be spending her time with.

She opened her phone to the love filled message that Bobby sent her at the start of her shift this afternoon, rereading the words as she had several times today. He’d left her a rose and a well made breakfast this morning, the only time they were able to “interact” all day. Every time she thought about sneaking off to visit him another call would come in. She hoped they would run into each other, but their paths didn’t cross today.

“Whatcha thinking about?” Braxton asked, interrupting her train of thought.

“Just that I’d rather be spending time with my husband right now.”

“I feel you.” Braxton said as she sent quick texts to Bobby and Elaine.

To: Mr. Sarg 🙃 Everything all set on your end?

From: Mr. Sarg 🙃 All set.

Braxton was excited. She couldn’t wait to see the look on her face.

To: Cap Laney 👮🏻♀️ Hey, everything’s a go, if it’s still all good with you?

From: Cap Laney 👮🏻♀️ It is. Tell Athena she can have 45 minutes for this one.

It’s was amazing how lenient their captain was about us spending time with loved ones. As long as they didn’t go overboard and were still monitoring the radio, meeting up with a friend or family member during shift breaks was fine.

All she needed to do now was let her friend in dispatch know. “Where do you wanna go to eat? Oh, since we’re in Koreatown there’s really good place on-" 

“Report of suspicious activity in Grand Park, limited information known at this time, any available units in the area?” Braxton stifled her giggle as she heard her superior cursing under her breath.

“Unit 212 responding.” Athena answered.

“Might be nothing.” Braxton kept up the unassuming facade.

“Doubt it. This is probably the start of the second wave.”

“We’ll see.”

It took them less then 10 minutes to arrive at the park. As they scanned the area the park was a little less lively than during the day, but the people they did see weren’t doing anything that could be considered suspicious. Athena and Braxton decided to check the areas that were a little less lit and quieter to make sure nothing was going on there.

As she walked across the lawn, Athena felt a firm hand grab her shoulder. Wasting no time, she grabbed her gun and rounded on the unknown person, knowing that it wasn’t her partner. She soon found herself pointing her gun at her husband.

“Bobby! What the hell? I could’ve shot you! What are you doing here? I thought you were at work?” Athena asked frantically as her heart pounded. She looked over at her partner to find her laughing.

“Okay, maybe getting your attention that way wasn’t the smartest idea.”

“You think?!” Athena put her gun back in the holster, “but that still doesn’t answer my question.”

“A little birdie told me that this was your break time today, so I thought I’d surprise you with a little lunch date. While you had the time.” Bobby grabbed her hand and led her over to a near by picnic table that had a candles, flowers, and a meal for two set up on it.

“How?” Athena asked as the wheels kept turning in her head.

“He and I have been setting this up for the last few days.”

“I contacted Braxton when I found out that we wouldn’t be able to see each other for yet another holiday. She said she could set something up.”

“Most of this was his idea. I just made sure that everything went the way it was supposed to. Surprise!”

Athena said nothing in response as she let it all settle in her mind. “So the call?”

“Dispatch was in on it. So was the rest of the shift. They knew were the only ones that was supposed to respond to it.”

“Wait the entire shift was in on this?” Athena asked.

“Yep, Cap too. She also told me to tell you that you can have 45 minutes for this one. Well, I’m gonna leave you guys to it. See ya Sarg, Mr. Sarg, I’m gonna go have some Korean fried chicken and call my wife to tell her about this. See you in 45.” Braxton walked away before Athena could get another word in.

“You know the Mr. Sarg thing is starting to grow on me, makes me think about that discussion we had about me taking your last name,” He looked to see Athena’s eyes squinted at him, “what? Robert Carter does have a nice ring to it.”

Turning towards her husband, she smacked him in the chest, “that’s for keeping this from me and doing all this,” and leaning on her tip toes she kissed him deeply, “and that’s doing for all this”

When her lips left his, she wrapped her arms around him, reveling in the feel of him, his scent. All things aside, she loved having this moment with him. “That’s the point of a surprise date. For it to be a surprise, what I supposed to do? Tell you. You’re just mad that everyone else was in on it except you.” She was, but she wasn’t going to say it out loud.

“Let me guess, the 118 knows, too.”

“Yeah, they know where I am and what I’m doing. Hen’s in charge while I snuck away to meet you.” He grabbed her chin and brought her lips up to meet his, “now can we eat?”

Wordlessly, she picked a side of the table and he sat across her. She removed the cover from the dish and was assaulted by the delicious smells underneath. She had to admit she was impressed by the number of hoops he went through to make this happen. Not even giving away a hint as to what he was planning. She loved him for it.

“I love you. Thank you for this.”

“I love you, too. We’ve barely seen each other or spent much alone time together these past few months . It’s Valentine’s Day, there was no way I wasn't going this whole day without seeing you again.”

“You make this whole scheme sound so simple.”

“It was. I wanted to spend time with you today. I was going to to make that happen, schedules and even a couple regulations be damned. Simple as that.” Bobby told her with conviction.

She let the air of finality be just that as she shifted the conversation and just focused on being in the moment with him. These 45 minutes were going to be over sooner than either of them wanted.
