Chapter 1

 'Damn Nathaniel to hell. Why does he always have to hit on me? He knows I will never ever go out with him, even if he were the last man on Earth.' Jocelyn thought as she opened her front door. She walked in and stopped her rant as she had heard a baby crying, and in HER apartment. She pulled the pepper spray out of her purse and had it ready in case she needed to make a hasty exit. She slowly and quietly crept towards her bedroom and opened the door. What she saw inside was a shock. There in her room was a man, and a damned fine one at that, sitting on her bed rocking a baby girl. His voice was gentle as he spoke. "Shhhh...shhhh. It's all right, father's here."

Seeing as there was no imminent threat she cleared her throat noisily. The man turned towards her, shock, anger, fear and wonder etched in his face. "Who are you and how did you get into my apartment?" she asked calmly.

The man looks at her quizzically, "I am William Turner II and this is my daughter Annabelle. As to your second question my lady, I know not..." his face then turns into one of anger and accusation. "You must know since you were the one that brought us here, WITCH. Send us back, NOW!"

At his speculation that she was a witch she started chuckle, "Mr. Turner, I have no idea how you and your daughter got here. I just recently returned home from work. I know you don't trust me at the moment but I promise to do everything I am able to do to help you, all right." He nods his head in agreement. "Her name is Jocelyn Thompson. But feel free to call me Jocelyn, Lyn, Jo, or Joce. I'll answer to any of those." she said as she walked towards her closet and began to search through it.

She heard Will sigh in relief at her statement, "Thank you Jo for you help. I apologize for accusing you of witchcraft." He pauses for a minute. "What are you doing?" he asks.

She turned and faced him, "Will, I don't think you've noticed but it the year 2004 anno domini. And you will not fit in with the clothes you are wearing, just as I would not fit in, in your time. My ex-boyfriend left some of his clothes here and I think they'd fit you."

"Oh."

She finally found what she'd been looking for. 'Eureka!' She shouted mentally as she found a t-shirt and jeans. She walked out of her closet and handed them to Will. "Here, these are for you. To wear when we leave to get you and Annabelle some clothes and some supplies we'll need for Annabelle. No go change and I'll watch Annabelle, okay?"

Will nodded and walked into the bathroom to change. Jocelyn held Annabelle and looked her over. She was a beautiful baby. Annabelle had her father's chocolate eyes and what looked like her mother's hair. "Well I am just going to have a fun filled day shopping with you and your daddy, huh sweetpea." she said to the little girl smiling. Anna just giggled. Jo tickled Annabelle's stomach causing her to laugh again. "Ticklish I see." she joked tickling 'Belle again.

 'Annabelle is such a beautiful baby. I wonder what happened to her mother?' Jo looked up hearing the bathroom door open and looked up to see Will dressed in the clothes she gave him. Jo looked him up and down and smiled wryly, "You'll do, good thing long hair is in fashion these days." she joked. "Come on. We need to get quite a few things."

Jo handed Annabelle over to Will and grabbed her purse and keys. She lead them outside the apartment and locked her door. Will looked a little suspicious of the car and after she explained how a car works they got in the car we took off for the grocery store and Wal-mart.
