Wes stretched up and luxuriated in the idea that he didn't have to get out of bed too early this morning. It was Saturday and his official day off from everything. He rolled over on his side and reached over to caress his wife's face. Then he realized she wasn't there. Wes sat up quickly, pulled on his pajama pants and rushed downstairs. He nearly knocked Phillips over who was headed for the office upstairs with a carafe of coffee. Wes caught the carafe in the air and the tray in his other hand.

"Sorry Phillips, I'm looking for Jen."

"Miss Jen went out early this morning looking for flowers for the wedding."

"We were supposed to do that together tomorrow with the wedding planner." Wes said angrily. "She should be taking better care of herself."

"That's all I know Mister Wes, I'm sorry I can't help you more have you tried calling her cell phone?"

"No not yet but that's the next thing I'm going to do."

Wes went into the sitting room and sat down on the massive leather chair his father loved to occupy in the evening when he read the paper. He picked up the phone and dialed Jen's number. He heard the familiar ring in the entrance hallway. Wes put the phone down and walked toward the sound. Jen's phone was vibrating and playing music on the entranceway table.

"Dammit Jen, where are you?" Wes said angrily.

Jen watched as the time ship set down gently on the sand. Alex appeared out of the portal and walked up to her. He reached down and hugged her. Then pulled away and looked into her beautiful brown eyes.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm all right, a little morning sickness but I'm doing fine."

"Jen, I have bad news. There's nothing we can do for you but let the pregnancy take its course."

"Then why did you come here."

"Because I wanted to give you this." Alex said extending a small box toward her.

"What is this?"

"Open it."

Jen pulled at the pretty pink ribbon encircling the little grey box. She opened it and found a dazzling moonstone ring.

"I don't understand."

"Jen, let me take you back to the future. Wes will never have to know. I can help you. I'll work day and night to save you and your baby."

"Alex, you know I can't I love Wes."

"I love you Jen I always have. I don't want you to die."

"If I'm meant to die, then that's my destiny."

"We can change our destiny. You and Wes taught me that."

"Alex my life is here." Jen said reaching up and wiping away a tear that slipped out from under his dark glasses."

"Good bye Jen." Alex said touching her face.

"Good bye Alex." Jen answered.
