Chapter 1:

Wyatt sat next to Lucy in a corner booth of the local bar. Rufus was seated across from them and currently was involved in a conversation about their latest mission.

It was the first time the three really was able to just hang out together, but Wyatt wasn't paying attention to anything tonight. He was lost in his thoughts, battling his own inner war.

The kiss Lucy and him shared, more less the kiss he planted on her, was meant to keep their cover and gain the trust of Bonnie and Clyde. It didn't mean anything. At least it wasn't suppose to. That's what he told Lucy, what he tried to tell himself.

He could lie to Lucy, but he couldn't lie to his heart. Ever since that kiss something had changed. Maybe it was there all along and he ignored it. All Wyatt knew at this moment was that he was having feelings that he hadn't had in over four years. Feelings that once were only for Jessica.

Lucy's laughter ringing though the smokey air brought him out of his thoughts.

"What's so funny?" Wyatt asked, confused.

Rufus and Lucy looked at him strangely, "Come on, man," Rufus said, tossing his hands up, "the joke wasn't that bad!"

"What joke?" Wyatt asked,"sorry guys, guess I was kinda lost in thought."

"Penny for your thoughts?" Lucy raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly.

Wyatt only shook his head, "It was nothing, really." He looked at his friend,"Sorry I missed your joke, wanna retell it?"

Rufus only shook his head and grinned.

"See," Lucy said, "it was about this duck who walked into a bar and said to the bartender, 'I want to buy some peanuts.' The bartender said, 'We don't have any peanuts.' So the duck left. "

"Then," Rufus said, "the next day the duck came back and says to the bartender, 'I want to buy some peanuts.' The bartender says, 'Look, duck, I already told you, we don't have any peanuts!' So the duck left.

Wyatt eyed his two friends curiosity.

Lucy stifled a laugh, "The duck goes back to the bar for the third day and walks up to the bartender and says, 'I want to buy some peanuts.' Furious now, the bartender yells, 'WE DON'T HAVE ANY PEANUTS AND IF YOU ASK ME AGAIN I AN GONNA NAIL YOU TO THE WALL!' So the duck leaves.

Rufus was chuckling now, "Well the duck comes back the following day and goes up to the bartender, 'Do you have any nails?' He asked. 'No, we don't have any nails.' The bartender responded. 'I want to buy some peanuts.' The duck said.

Wyatt laugh, "I think I would have shot that duck."

Lucy gave a shocked look but a smile was creeping over her lips, "You mean you would shoot a innocent animal because he wanted peanuts? Why didn't the bartender just buy him some?"

"Why didn't the duck just go to the store?" Wyatt responded with raised eyebrows.

"Guys!" Rufus called out, "You two sure know how to over think a joke!"

"Sorry," Wyatt shrugged, "we have been doing a lot of thinking lately. It's like we are constantly

thinking on how to solve all these problems."

"Over thinking has became second nature to us," Lucy shrugged.

"Ain't that the truth! We do too much thinking if you ask me!" Rufus agreed.

Wyatt's thoughts turned back to that kiss with Lucy and the feelings he thought he felt stirring. Was he just really over thinking the whole deal? Lucy certainly didn't seem effected by it. Maybe it really was nothing.

Attempting to push his nagging thoughts out of his mind, Wyatt raised his beer, "We all have experienced things that no one else has, we have had great adventures as well as great heartbreak. Though it all, we have stuck together and became not only a tight knit team, but friends as well. Here's to us!"

"I never would have believed any of this possible, yet alone that I would be a part of it, not even in my wildest dreams," Lucy raised her beer to Wyatt's, "To us."

"We make one heck of a team," Rufus put his beer to Wyatt's and Lucy's.

The three friends made the toast and took a swing of beer before settling back in their seats to enjoy the moment. In the last two months they have traveled though history and witnessed events most people only read about. They never really had an opportunity to just sit back and relax as friends. Tonight was a rare occasion.

"Why haven't we done this before?" Lucy asked, "We always hurry off in our own directions after each mission. We never really hang and just be friends."

"I want to spend as much time with my mom and brother as I can," Rufus said, "I am either at work, or my brother is at school or mom is off with friends. She loves playing bingo lately." Rufus rolled his eyes.

"Mom and I fight a lot lately," Lucy said, "She doesn't understand why I can't tell her anything. She doesn't understand that I don't love Noah and likely never will. And I sure as hell can't talk to her about Amy."

Wyatt shrugged, "I have no one at home, but sometimes I just like to be alone. It's different without Jess. It's like she's still there, but..." He trailed off, turning his face away.

Lucy took his hand in hers and gave it a gentle squeeze, "I can kinda understand what you mean. I remember growing up with Amy and all the games we played and secrets we told. Sometimes I felt closer to Amy then I did my own mother. All of that is gone. No photos, no grave, no one else who even knows she was ever here. A moment in time changed everything."

"Lucy, I am sorry, we will get Amy back," Wyatt put his other hand on top of hers, "Jess was murdered and I live everyday with the fact that I wasn't there to protect her. But Amy was just erased from time because of something we changed in the past. And now you are engaged, because of something we changed."

"We will get them both back," Lucy whispered.

"It's funny how a small change in time can make such a huge difference." Rufus said, "What are you going to do about Noah?"

"I am breaking up with him," Lucy said, "I don't have any memories of him, I don't love him, I even tried to, but I just don't have any feelings."

Rufus nodded, "You believe something we change can effect someone's feelings?"

"What you mean?" Wyatt asked, secretly wondering the same thing.

"I mean you came back from the past and was engaged. Do you think something caused you to love Noah at some point?"

"What if you already loved someone else and fell in love with Noah also?" Wyatt asked.

Lucy shook her head, "I don't understand any of this. I remember my sister like yesterday yet I have no memory what so ever of Noah. There is nothing there. If I happened to love Noah and some else, I guess someone would get their heart broke. I don't know what I would do, honestly."

"I am just wondering if Jiya and I falling in love had to do with time travel. I mean we worked side by side all this time and I never noticed her. Now, I can honestly say I am in love."

"I think that has to do with fate, not time travel," Lucy said, "If two people are meant to be together they will be, no matter what. Fate will find a way."

The three were silent for a moment, lost in their own thoughts and feelings.

Music slowly started playing from the jukebox

Looking back over the years

Of all the things I've always meant to say

But the words didn't come easily

So many times through empty fears

Of all the nights I've tried to pick up the phone

So scared of who might be answering

Lucy stood up, smiling, " I love this song! Who wants to dance?" She looked at Wyatt then Rufus and back to Wyatt again, "Come on, dance with me!" She pleaded.

"I am in!" Wyatt stood taking Lucy's hand and leading her to the dance floor.

You try to live your life from day to day

But seeing you across the room tonight

Just gives me away

Cause the heart won't lie

Sometimes life gets in the way

But there's one thing that won't change

I know I've tried

The heart won't lie

You can live your alibi

Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise

The heart won't lie

Wyatt's steel blue eyes locked on Lucy's deep brown eyes as his arms slipped around her waist. She smiled up at him, lacing her fingered together around his neck.

"What do you like about this song?" He asked softly.

"I am a hopeless romantic. I like that he is in love with her, but afraid to admit his feelings. He's afraid she doesn't feel the same way, but she does."

"Well they are friends, right?" Wyatt asked.

"Yes but will they remain friends if she shares her feelings and he's in love with someone else?" Lucy asked.

" I think she'd be worth the risk," Wyatt smiled, holding Lucy a little closer to him. Lucy rested her head on his chest, taking in his sweet scent.

Long after tonight

Will you still hear my voice through the radio

Old desires make us act carelessly

Long after tonight, after the fire

After the scattered ashes fly

Through the four winds blown and gone

Will you come back to me

You try to live your life from day to day

But seeing you across the room tonight

Just gives me away

The song ended and Wyatt held Lucy's hand, leading her back to their booth, where Rufus was watching them with raised eyebrows.

"What?" Wyatt asked innocently.

"What was that?" Rufus grinned.

"We were dancing," Lucy grinned, " you need to take Jiya dancing sometime."

"Huh huh," Rufus looked from Lucy to Wyatt and back again. "Yeah, I'll do that."

"So, what were we talking about?" Wyatt smiled. The dance, the feel of Lucy's body against his, it was like the kiss all over again, only this time he could not deny it. He was falling in love with Lucy Preston.

"Excuse me," Lucy stood and headed to the restroom.

"Man, I didn't know you two were a thing!" Rufus playfully slapped at Wyatt's arm.

"I didn't know either. I am still not sure," Wyatt sighed, "Rufus can a man love two women at once?"

"Depends, is he sleeping with them?" Rufus grinned.

"Come on, you know what I mean! I love Jessica and I always will. Nothing in the world will ever change that, but can I love Lucy too?"

"I have never been in your shoes, man," Rufus was honest with his friend, "so I don't know what you are going through, but I have to say at some point, you have to let the past go. Of course you will always love Jessica but you have to let go and move on. She would want that."

Wyatt nodded, "I can't deny that I have feelings for Lucy, but I feel as if I am betraying Jessica by having those feelings. I feel like I can't give Lucy all of my love, not with Jessica still having my heart."

"Then you have to let one of them go," Rufus reasoned, "if you are with Lucy she deserves your whole heart, all of your love. She deserves to be the only woman in your life. If you can't give her that then don't lead her on. Drop it now."

"I can't just forget about Jessica because I have feelings for Lucy. That wouldn't be fair to her either." Wyatt argued.

"No you don't have to forget about Jessica. Of course you will always love her, but she doesn't have to take up every waking moment. If Lucy is right for you, she will understand that you will always love Jessica and will have memories of her. Maybe you can even share some of those memories. But that is what Jessica needs to be if you are going to have a future with Lucy. She needs to be a memory."

Wyatt sighed, he wasn't ready to give up saving Jessica. That's the one thing that kept him going on these missions. He always held some kind of hope that something they would change in the past would bring Jessica back to him. How could he have a future with anyone while still living in the past.

Lucy sat in the restroom trying to gain her composer. She never realized she had feelings for Wyatt. Sure, he was nice to look at and she cared for him in a friendly way. He was so in love with his wife and obsessed with getting her back, she didn't think he had room in his life for anyone else. Tonight though, she felt feelings for Wyatt that she had never felt for anyone before. She was certain she saw those same feelings reflecting in Wyatt's eyes when he looked at her.

Lucy wondered if that dance would change things between them. All she wanted was a dance with a friend. She never expected to fall in love.

Taking a deep neath, Lucy prepared to return to the table hoping things wouldn't seem too weird when the phone rang.

"Saved by the bell," Lucy muttered, "Hello?"

"Flynn just took the ship again," Agent Christopher stated.

"Where?"

"Cobh, Ireland, April 11, 1912."

"We're on our way."

"We?" Agent Christopher questioned.

"Wyatt, Rufus and I were having a few beers."

"You okay to drive?"

"We are. None of us have had more then one beer yet."

"Get here as fast as you can." Agent Christopher said, disconnecting the call.

Lucy took a deep breath and hurried back to their table, "We've got to go."

"Where?" Rufus asked.

"Flynn went go Ireland, April 11 1912."

Wyatt dropped money on the table to pay for their tab as him and Rufus both stood.

"What happened then?" Wyatt looked to Lucy for answers.

"Titanic."

"Wait, I thought Titanic left from South Hampton." Rufus asked.

"Yes," Lucy answered, "then she stopped at a port in France that night before going on to Queensland,

Ireland the next morning; which is now known as Cobh, Ireland."

"Why would Flynn go to Ireland? What does he want with the Titanic in Ireland?" Wyatt posed the question he knew they didn't have the answer to, yet.

"I guess we are about to find out," Lucy mused as the three separated to head to their cars.
