After getting all the information they could on the warehouse and mutant they were going to meet the group went their separates ways again. Deciding he wanted to be left alone, Jesse locked himself in his room and didn't answer to anyone who knocked or called him
Sitting on his bed he contemplated the information Marc had bestowed upon him and the others. It made him think about fate and whether or not it was his time to die, though on the other hand he thought maybe the guy was crazy and all the time travel he had done finally messed with his brain.
Sighing he sat up on his bed and questioned whether or not he should talk to someone about how he was feeling. He knew Adam would tell him the same thing he told them all earlier, which was to relax and go about things as normal; he figured Shalimar was with Brennan and Sean so he couldn't talk to her; and the three new people taking refuge in sanctuary were definitely out of the question; so that left Emma. He had always been able to talk to her and hoped that his earlier behavior hadn't ruined any chances of them discussing this matter.
Deciding to go talk to her he got up but when he opened the door to his room to leave the person in question was already standing there. Apparently making ready to knock on his door
"Hey I was just coming to see you" he said
"Funny I was just about knock on your door" she replied with a small smile
"Come in" he replied moving aside to let her into the room
"So how are you handling this?" she asked
"Well I've been told I am going to die tomorrow. How would you be feeling?" he rebutted
"Point taken"
"Part of me even wonders if this guy is telling the truth. Maybe his brain is screwed up from all the time traveling or something. I mean Diane committed herself because of everything she saw"
"Sorry to disappoint you but he is sane" she replied
"Yeah maybe I am just nervous about the fact that I am going to die tomorrow"
"Hey no one is going to let you die tomorrow" she said placing a hand on his arm "we are going to figure this out I promise"
"Thanks Emm" he replied giving her a hug
"No problem that is what I am here for" she said after pulling out of the embrace "now try and get some rest"
With that said Emma left him to his thoughts and the problem of trying to fall asleep with the knowledge that tomorrow could be his last day on earth.

Brennan had just finished reading Sean his third story of the night when the toddler finally closed his eyes and went to sleep. He knew that as he got older his nocturnal side would begin to show more and more and getting the boy to sleep would become harder and harder than it already was.
Shutting the door to his room as quietly as possible Brennan noticed Shalimar sitting on the dojo steps. Looking back at his son's door one last time he made his way over to his wife. "Hey" he said as he sat down next to her
"Hey, he finally asleep?" she asked
"Yeah and it only took three stories tonight" he replied
"Really it only takes me two" she replied giving him a smirk
"That's because I can't flash my eyes at him to make him fall asleep"
"Who said I do that?"
"No one I saw you do it last night" he replied and they both laughed "what's wrong?"
"What makes you think anything is wrong?"
"I know you you've been quiet ever since Marc told us about time travel"
"You read me better than Emma sometimes. Ok I've been feeling a little guilty"
"Guilty? Why?"
"Well maybe it is because Jesse might die tomorrow because I survived when I wasn't supposed to"
Brennan didn't know what to say to that. He had begun to remember some of what happened that had caused the shift in the timeline and at the same time he too felt guilty that his interference might cause the death of one of his best friends. But he wasn't ready to give up and let his family be ripped away from him. "We will figure something out. Jesse is not going to die tomorrow"
"You don't know that. You heard Marc, it is possible that us knowing could change how and when it happens to him" she snapped back "I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap at you"
"It is ok I still love you"
"Oh why thank you" she replied smiling and giving him a quick kiss on the lips
"Come on lets go to bed" he replied rising from the steps and holding his hand out for her to take
"I don't think I could sleep" she replied looking up at him
Smirking he bent down and replied "who said we were going to sleep?"
Shalimar just looked at him for a moment then smirked and took his hand following him to their room
