Abby had tried to talk to Connor about his lapse in memory issues and his continued headaches, but whenever his health was brought up he would just insist he was alright and thank her for being concerned. She knew he was not one to make regular visits to the doctor, but she thought he was making a mistake in this case.

It had been 4 days since he had been reassigned to the research department and the only time she got to see him was at home. It was almost as if she was losing him, but she had to remind herself that she never really had him. She knew he liked her, but she never did much to show him how she felt. She really liked him too and had they been stuck in the past she would have been forced to work with him to stay alive; which would have probably brought out her true feelings for him. But ever since they had gotten out of the past and made their way to an altered future, there was never an opportunity for her to tell him how she felt. The opportunity was still there when they made their way back to their own time, but the more he withdrew from her the harder it was for her to get close to him. She would sometimes think about it while she lay in bed and it was almost as if the more he drifted from her the more she wanted him. Her thoughts of him always ended the same however and that was what had happened to him when they thought they had lost him. Whatever it was had changed him just enough that he was no longer the same.

Today was no different than any other day this week. They had driven into work together, he told her to be careful and then he would hole himself up with his work not to be seen until it was time to go home. She had asked the others if they had seen or talked to Connor lately and they had to admit that they had not.

Danny had also been concerned about Connor, but he had been so caught up in finding out more about Trina and keeping her in his sight that he had forgotten to have a talk with him. Today they didn't have much to do so he thought he would take a trip to see what his friend was up to.

As Danny walked to the research department he rehearsed what he was going to day. Abby had told him how he never wanted to talk about himself or his health so he had to make sure Connor didn't try to change the subject.

When he entered the room he looked around and realized that he had never been in here before. It looked like he expected it to look, but there were fewer people working than he thought there would be. He looked around and finally spotted Connor who had his back to him and was huddled over something.

When he was directly behind Connor he cleared his throat in an attempt to make his presence known, but there was no change in his friend's posture so he walked to the front of the table thinking he would see him and look up, but that didn't seem to work either. He was about to say something when he looked at what Connor was doing.

He was instantly intrigued in what he saw and all his previous thoughts on how to get Connor's attention were lost. He felt himself take one of the seats at the table and pick up one of the objects, "What are you working on Connor".

As if Connor knew he was always there he replied, "It's a devise".

Danny could see it was a device, "Yes, but what does it do".

Connor finally stopped working when the question was asked. He looked up at Danny with eyes that looked a million miles away, "I don't know".

Danny was surprised by his response, but the look on Connor's face also brought him back to why he was here. He didn't like the look on his friends face. "Connor, do you have time to take a break? I would really like to talk to you ".

Connor had been looking toward Danny but he really hadn't been focusing on him until the question was asked. He looked at Danny and saw concern in his face, but instead of giving him what he wanted, he withdrew and looked away so he was looking to his left, "I really need to get back to work, but maybe later I'll have time".

Danny put his hand on Connor's arm, "Connor?" He waited until he got the eye contact he was waiting for. "What is going on with you?"

Connor was surprised by his serious tone. He knew Abby had been getting on his case lately, but he thought it was just the way Abby was, but to hear it from someone else confused him. There was nothing wrong with him, so why would he think there was. It had to be Abby, she must have asked Danny to say something. "There is nothing wrong. I know Abby is worried about me, but seriously there is nothing wrong".

Danny took his hand back, "I'm not doing this for Abby. Ever since we got back you've been acting differently. I just want to make sure you are ok".

Connor rolled his eyes at the statement and sighed, "I am perfectly fine Danny. Look, why don't we talk about this later, I really need to get back to work".

Danny looked down at the work Connor was doing. He decided to try a different tactic, "This looks interesting; so who are you building it for".

Connor went back into his building mode. He picked up one of the pieces and held it up, "This was something that Trina had designed". He picked up the design and handed it to Danny.

He took the diagram and looked at it for a moment and then looked at what was on the table, "Are you sure you have this right, it doesn't look anything like the drawing".

"What?" Connor took the paper back and studied at; his face was twisted in confusion. "No, this is what I have been working on; maybe I gave you the wrong one". He looked down at the table and starting rifling through everything before him. "I don't understand I know I had it here. Well regardless of where it is it's what I am working on".

"What does it do?"

"I don't know, I wasn't told specific details, but it is supposed to help find more anomalies".

Danny was satisfied for the moment, "Ok Connor, well I will be seeing you later".

"Sure mate, we'll talk later".

Connor's head went back to work so quickly that it was almost as if Danny had never been there.

Danny left the room to find Abby. He decided that the best place to talk would be back at their place.

It had been four days since Sarah had told Becker of the possibility that she was pregnant and now she was sitting in the doctor's office waiting for her results. She wasn't ready to be a mother so she hoped it would be negative. She also never pictured having a child out of wedlock or at the very least having conceived a child the way she did. The one and only time she was with Becker was when she thought it was her last night on earth. She hadn't expected to escape so the consequences never occurred to her.

She was sitting on one of the two chairs in the office, biting her nails when the door opened.

Dr. Wells walked in and took her seat behind the desk. "You look nervous Sarah; was this visit unexpected or planned?"

"It was totally unexpected. So what are the results".

"Well I don't know whether or not this is good news, but the results of the blood test are positive. You are going to have a baby".

Sarah was numb all over. She somehow managed to maintain her composure while the doctor explained what she needed to do next and then she quietly thanked her before leaving.

She headed down the elevator and made her way to the front entrance where she would find her car. Her head felt like it was in the fog so when she saw Becker leaning against her car she didn't know if he was real or not. As she approached her head started to clear and she saw the sympathetic look in his eyes, "Becker, I didn't expect to find you here".

"Well when you told me you were seeing the doctor today I thought I needed to be here for you".

"Thank you, but I can manage".

Becker straightened out his body and started walking toward Sarah, "I'm sure you can, but I just wanted to be here for you either way".

She smiled, "so I suppose you want to know what she said".

He had been thinking about this and when he saw her he was unable to tell what the answer would be, "Well yes, I am curious, but if you don't want to tell me right now I will understand".

"No, it's ok; you have a right to know". She paused, trying to think of the best way to tell him, "It looks like I'm going to have a baby".

Becker stared at her; his face was emotionless as he listened to her answer. He remembered when she had first mentioned to him that she might be pregnant and his first response was to ask if there was a possibility that it may not be his, but she had assured him he was the only one she had been with in some time. So this was his baby, something he always knew he wanted, but never knew when he would be ready. He liked Sarah, but didn't know if he would ever grow to love her, but he did know that he would love their baby. He came forward and awkwardly gave her a hug.

The hug surprised Sarah, but she couldn't tell if he was happy about it, "So, this is probably not good news for you".

Becker pulled away so he could look at her face, "No I think it's wonderful". He hugged her again before letting go, "Do you want me to take you somewhere or do you wish to be alone right now".

"No, a little company would be good right now. I know a nice little place around the corner where we could have some tea and maybe talk".

"Lead the way".

They walked side by side, but it wasn't exactly the sight one would expect from two people who just found out they were expecting a child together.

Connor looked down at what he was working on. From all appearances it was almost finished, but he was still concerned why it didn't look like Trina's design. He had started out by using the plans that were drawn out for him, but he didn't really remember much else after that. He had been working nonstop on this thing but he still didn't know when he had decided to make changes.

He turned the device around in his hands and screwed in the last piece in the back. He then put the back cover on and held in up in front of his face. It was definitely not what he had started out to do, but what he was now looking at impressed him. It was a very lightweight transmitter of some sort that provided the user to enter information into the screen. But what it did he didn't know. He knew the only way he would find out what it was, was to try it out. He looked around the room and knew that this would not be the best place to try it so he picked up his jacket and his cane; since he no longer needed the crutches, and headed outside.

The time on his watch indicated that it was almost time to go home, but he really wanted to test this out. He was glad when there was no one outside to distract him.

He held the device up and wondered what he should do first. He didn't know how long he had been standing there, but when he looked down he realized that something was already entered on the screen. He didn't remember seeing anything on the screen before so he didn't know if it had always been there and he just didn't remember it or was this just one more thing that he had done recently and couldn't remember. Well it didn't really seem to matter, he somehow knew he had want he needed.

He pointed the device toward the empty space in front of him and pressed the button. What he saw next was a great flash of light, it was similar to an anomaly, but there was something different to the way the light was reflected. He gazed into it, wondering what it was, but something deep down inside was telling him he already knew what it was. He had seen this before, in fact on several occasions. His desire to enter the light was getting stronger with every minute. There was something drawing him toward it and he would have entered it if it weren't for his name being called. He looked behind him and saw that it was Abby. She looked concerned for him and starting running toward him, calling his name, but he only looked away and back toward the light. The desire had finally grown to be too much; the light was demanding his attention. He looked back once more at Abby and then walked through the light.

Abby had been trying to catch him when she saw what was directly in front of him. It had only taken a second for her brain to register where she had seen the light before. It was the same one they saw when they thought they had lost Connor, only to have him reappear through it. She was almost upon him when she saw him go through. She fell to the ground when the light disappeared along with Connor. She started screaming his name without even realizing it, "Connor".

Connor entered the light and was engulfed in its warmth for only a moment before he exited the other side. He fell to ground when he stepped out, but was back on his feet in seconds. He looked around and it was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. He was standing in the greenest fields that he had ever seen, yet something about the whole place looked familiar; almost as if he were back home. He looked around but stopped when he saw her.

She was smiling at him as she approached. When she was finally directly in front of him she stopped, "Connor, It's good to have you back".

Connor looked at the woman; not sure of who she was, but for some reason he knew her name, "Cara"?

She nodded, happy that he remembered her. She leaned in and wrapped her arms around him. She was happy when she felt his arms follow suit and hug her back. "Connor, I wasn't expecting you to come back so soon, but I'm glad you did. I tried telling you something before you left, but I was never sure you if you heard it". She could tell he was breathing hard, "Come, we will take care of you like before and then we can talk then".

Connor didn't know what she was talking about, but he felt so out of breath that he would do anything she said as long as she would make him feel better.

Cara led him to what looked like a carriage, but there were no horses. When they were inside, the carriage started moving as if it were motorized. But Connor was totally oblivious to any of it. He was leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed. His breathing had grown shallow, but Cara was right next to him making sure he was ok.
