"You're too late boys." Thee words rang in Wyatt's ears but then, a shot, then a second resounded and Emma's body fell to the ground. He looked at Flynn and in the following second, ran inside, searching for Carol Preston. He found her on the floor with a chest wound and immediately kneeled down.
"Don't try to move, you're going to be ok." He cound hear his heart beating in his ears now when the thought of his. "CALL AN AMBULANCE." He yelled as Flynn ran inside.
"They're on their way." Flynn told him as he kept applying pressure on the wound. The sirens in the distance announced that the ambulance was close and Rufus came running in.
"They're right here." The medics worked on Carol as Wyatt fell to the ground, hoping this was not the end.
"What happened sir?" One of them asked.
"Home invasion, she was shot twice." His voice was trembling, his mind showing him different scenarios of what would be waiting for him when they returned with the life boat and it scared the hell out of him. The medics put her in the ambulance and they looked at Wyatt.
"You can ride with us sir." Clearly the 80's were much less strict concerning who you were to the patient.
"We're right behind you." Rufus said before he and Flynn went back to the car, following the ambulance close behind. Carol was wheeled into the ER and the four of them were stopped and directed into the waiting room, the nurse saying she'd come see them with an update.
Wyatt was pacing the waiting room, running his hands through his hair like a madman.
"Running down the flood won't help her Wyatt." The three others looked at him, sympathetic to what was happening to him but there wasn't much they could do right now except keep good thoughts. They watched as she was wheeled to the OR to remove the bullets and Wyatt was just about to lose it.
"Do you know if there anyone that we can contact?" A Nurse came up to them and suddenly Wyatt looked up, focused.
"Benjamin Cahill." He knew that they had hooked up but didn't know the nature of their relationship in 1982 but he had to try to get the two together. "You can reach him at this number or he works at the****(*, he's a pediatrician."
"Thanks." And she left in the same direction as the gurney.
"Alright, we got to go." Rufus pressed.
"I can't go, I need to make sure that she survives.
"We can find that out later. Right now, there are two other people that came with Emma in the mothership and we have to make sure that they're taken care of."
"And leave her unprotected?" Wyatt couldn't take that chance.
"I'll stay." Rufus volunteered.
"No! We need you out there." Wyatt didn't finish his sentence but instead looked between Rufus and James and he backtracked. "No, you're right, stay here." He looked around to make sure no one saw him and he handed Rufus his gun, knowing that he could handle himself. After today, Wyatt didn't trust James and right now, he needed someone he trusted to protect his future.
"Il keep them safe." Wyatt understood the meaning behind his words and nodded before shoving James forward, Flynn following behind. They drove back towards the house only to find a crime scene, cops swarmind everywhere.
"Damn it." Flynn cursed. "What do we do now?"
"There's got to be a way to go in there."
"Maybe." Both turned to look at James, wondering what kind of stupid suggestion would come out of his mouth. "One of you could go over there and say the house belongs to your sister or something and you're worried."
"That's actually not a bad idea." Wyatt admitted. "Flynn, you're up." He decided.
"Why me?" He asked curious.
"Well you look more like Carol's age, it would be more logical."
"Alright." They didn't have a lot of time to wait to waste here so Flynn crossed the street and both Wyatt and James looked at him work, hoping their plan would work.
Jiya returned to Wyatt and Lucy's old room with a hot cup of tea but found Lucy sleeping on what she presumed was Wyatt's side of the bad, her arms wrapper around her bump. "What happens if they don't succeed?" Her voice was filled with sadness and she felt a presence next to her.
"We'll have to be there for Wyatt because I don't think he'll survive this particular attack on the life he's built with her." Agent Christopher leaned against the doorframe.
"He's going to bed totally destroyed." Jiya agreed.
"That's why we have to trust the team to get this job done." They watched her as she slept, their thoughts on the team. Jiya place the cup on the nightstand and the two of them went back to the main area of the bunker, hoping someone had found a sign of any kind of change in history because of this.
"So?" Wyatt pressed Flynn for some answers.
"Emma is dead." Wyatt smiled thankfuly. "What about the two other ones?"
"Nowhere to be found but we have to get back to the lifeboat to know if they've jumped back to 2020."
"First we go see Rufus and find out more about Carol's condition." James was driving and the road was mainly quiet so they made it to the hospital in no time. They spotted Rufus that was now pacing in the hallways next to her room. "So, what's the update?"
"There's been complications but she's out of surgery and stable now."
"Did Benjamin show up?" Flynn asked.
"Just now but he's been asking a lot of questions, that's why I'm so jittery." He peered around the corner and saw Benjamin on the phone, clearly angry.
"Ok so since she's fine, we got to go."
"What about Emma?"
"Dead." Flynn confirmed. "But the two other are in the wind. We need to find out if they jumped."
"Let's go, before he comes back for more questions." The four of them left and Rufus drove the way back to the time machine. Rufus jumped in the lifeboat first and started the electronics while the three other ones waited just outside. "They've jumped back." Rufus confirmed and they all hopped in, the door sliding shut and the wheels turning to bring them back home.
Jiya saw the papers on her desk start to move from the lack of wind in the place and only a few seconds later, the team was back. Mason, Jiya and Denise came to meet them and Wyatt was the first to come down the stairs. "What's changed?"
"What do you mean what's changed?" Agent Christopher asked him.
"Lucy and the baby, are they still there?" Wyatt was visibly impatient.
"They're still there, Jiya just went to check on her."
He walked past her quickly towards the rooms. "We need a new historian." He yelled over his shoulder, leaving everyone with questions. He made it to his old room and found Jiya leaning against the doorframe. "How is she?"
"She fell asleep a little while ago." She was still holding on to her belly, a sight that made Wyatt smile.
"Ok, thanks for taking care of her Jiya."
"Anytime Wyatt." She patted his shoulder and left them alone. He stayed there a few minutes, watching her sleep, his heart starting to calm down. He couldn't believe how close he had been to losing them.
"Hey." Her voice was filled with sleep but it was loud enough to pull him from his thoughts.
"Hey." He smiled at her as he walked into the room, crouching in front of her. "How're you feeling?" He pushed a strand of hair behind her ear and kissed her lips.
"Better now that you're back. How'd it go?"
"We don't need to talk about it. Is the baby giving you any trouble?" He placed a hand on her belly and felt a series of kicks.
"Well except from the fact that your sons are using my bladder as a punching bag, they're good?"
"Sons?" His face must have changed colour because when he left, there was only one baby.
"Wyatt, are you ok?" She used her hands to sit up in bed and that's when he saw the size of her belly.
"Yeah." He chuckled, placing his other hand on the other size of her belly. "I've never been better." Things had definitely changed since the time he stepped in the life boat earlier that morning.
A/N: So Wyatt came back to the biggest change he never expected. What will that mean for them and how does the fact that Emma is dead in the past change the next few months? Please take a few seconds to review before you go, I always love to hear your thoughts - Sarra
