Disclaimer: I now nothing except my imagination.
A/N:Thanks to everyone for the reviews on the last chapter as well as Sarah Swomley who gave me ideas on names for baby #2(we'll find out in another chapter) So without further ado, here is chapter 6.
Wyatt was pacing the length of the living room floor, running his hands furiously through his hair. Agent Christopher was on her way and had told Wyatt not to touch anything. He didn't hear the door open or close and he snapped out of it with a hand on his shoulder, going into full soldier mode, throwing a punch at the intruder, Rufus stopping him mid hit.
"Wyatt, it's me." He blinked a few times before recognizing Rufus.
"Hey, I didn't hear you come in."
"Tell us what happened." Denise came into view.
"We were on the couch, talking baby names and I just heard something." He half lied, remembering the close, sexual position they had been in before it had all happened. "Then I told her to wait for me in the room in the basement. I told her to WAIT." He yelled in anger, fliging the dish that was sitting on the counter against the wall, ignoring the reaction it triggered out of Rufus and Agent Christopher at his outburst.
"We'll get her back." Rufus put both hands on his shoulder, willing his words to hit home.
"I failed her." His shoulders fell and suddenly the weight of what happened hit him. "I failed them." Sobs suddenly overtaking him.
"You'll have failed them if you don't help us find them." Her words were harsh, she knew but she needed to have his head in the game if they had any hope of finding her.
"What do we do now?" In any normal circumstances, Wyatt Logan knew what needed to be done but right now, his emotions were at the wheel and he needed someone to tell him what to do.
"I want you to look for anything that would indicate who took her or where they would be headed." She knew that he'd take care of the inside of the house while she and Rufus took care of the outside, Conor and Jiya already working on the time machine front even though they were fairly certain that with Emma dead, they no longer had a pilot to command the time machine.
Wyatt immediately went to the bbasement, trying to figure out what had gone wrong in his plan to keep his family safe. The door was fully opened but there was absolutely no sign of a forced entry. He ran his fingers against the side of the door and knew exactly what had happened. Lucy must have felt something when he was down and had opened the door, probably with an intgernal struggle and had been greeted by someone on the other side. Nothing was out of place so he knew that they had come here with a well executed plan, knowing that ultimately he wouldn't be a match against four assailants.
Then he moved towards the second floor and towards the space in the house that would screw with his system. He first set his eyes on the closed door of the nursery. He pushed it opened to reveal blue paint and two cribs, one he didn't remember putting after the change in their timeline. Two plane mobiles were dangling on top of each and he couldn't stop the tears that were now threatening to fall as his heart sank at the knowledge that he could lose it all in the blink of an eye. He couldn't stay in that room, not if he wanted to survive so he closed the door and moved onto the master bedroom. The bed sheets were still rumpled, neither he or Lucy had bothered to do them before going down for breakfast that morning. He moved inside the room with purpose, opening every drawer, trying to find something that woould be out of place or missing. It was only when he started gooing through the vanity that he found it. It was a simple USB key that he couldn't remember what it was used for but then he saw his laptop on his own desk. He took it mechanically and sat on their bed, slidding the key in the slot before looking through what was in it. Some were pictures of the two of them in evveryday life, others were of their wedding day, both sportinng smiles that could compete with the brightness of the sun. The last one was a video folder. They were all labelled by date and set in order so he clicked on the first one and it took him back to the early stages of their relationship.
Lucy was giggling as she tried to set up the camera. "Why don't you let the experts do that Luce." Wyatt chuckled, clearly amused by his girlfriend's attempt at cataloguing their moments on film.
"Because I know I can get it set up." The camera almost fell to the ground as she tried to set it on the tripod, the whole thing filmed from Wyatt's smartphone.
"That should be interesting." He simply took his spot on the couch and watched her with amusement as she tried but failed. "Still think you can do it?" He questionned with a cackle when she finally dropped it on the carpet.
"I might need a little bit of help." She finally admitted, taking the phone from Wyatt's hand while it took him all of five seconds to get it set.
"And what exactly are we trying to do with these recordings?" He finally pressed the record button and sat down next to her.
"Well I figured that we could capture on film small, big important moments just in case." She didn't finish her sentence but he knew what she was getting at.
"You mean in case something happens to us on a trip and things change?"
"Yeah." Her voice was small and filled with fear at the thought of losing even a second of what they had.
"If it'll put your mind at ease, that's what we'll do." He pulled her onto his lap and pressed a soft, reassuring kiss on her lips. "Just so you know, if anything ever changes, there will be a part of me that will be missing, a part that will only be filled by you babydoll." His words were soft as he kissed her again.
"You better, sweetheart." Her heart was beating wildly in her chest and she was sure that Wyatt could hear it by the sheer closeness of their bodies.
Wyatt blinked tears away as he remembered that exact first video they had filmed, sealing their common decision. "This can't be the end of it." He chocked out before his eyes fell on the video with a date that was only a few weeks old. He couldn't place what that recording had been, one of the last entries he remembered was about them finding out she was pregnant, the rest stored in his phone, the moments not all transfered on the key. He double clicked on it and let the images fill his whole being.
"You look like a weirdo." Was the first thing he said as they entered the hospital.
"I do NOT look like a weirdo." She pulled him inside as they made it to radiology. "We're going to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl." She lowered the lenz to her ever expanding belly as proof.
"Well you could wait for us to be in the ultrasound room to start filming." He pulled her by the waist to him before they could go inside radiology.
"And miss a moment like this?" She leaned up and pressed her lips to his, the two not really caring what everyone else around them would say. The moment the broke the kiss, there were a few cheers from onlookers, making Lucy blush a bright shade of red.
"Looks like we have an audience." He whispered to her lips.
"Told you I couldn't miss this." She giggled before he took her by the waist as they registered their appointment with the clerk. The wait wasn't too long but Lucy's bladder was starting to ask for some relief by time they called them in. She handed the phone over to Wyatt as she was prompted on the exam table, the machine already next to it.
"You think that we'll actually see something?" He pointed at the machine.
"Well unless he's a stubborn hothead like his father, we might have a chance." She teased him before the technician came in to start taking the measurements.
"So you think it'll be a boy?" The smirk was there and she couldn't stop the smile from spreading to her lips.
"That's not what I said but I wouldn't mind a little mini Wyatt, no matter how much like you he'd be."
"What happens if he's a little bossy know it all like his mom?" He teased back.
"That would be fine by me too. I wouldn't mind a girl though." All she wanted was for the baby to be healthy.
"Looks like we'll have to wait for the radiologist to come because your baby does not want to show what he or she is." They snapped back to the moment when the technician said the words but it only took a few minutes for the radiologist to take her place.
"I'm Dr Archer, is this the first pregnancy for the both of you?" He took a seat and smiled at them.
"Yes Sir."
"First time parents smile, how could I miss it?" He chuckled. "Congratulations to the both of you. Now let's see if we can convince this little one to show itself for us. He pretty much did the same as the technician a few minutes to make sure the measurements were correct and if there was something that his eyes would miss but when he put pressure on a section on the right of her belly, the image on the screen moved and Lucy had thought she had imagined what she saw but the doctor immediately confirmed her thoughts. "Well that's new."
"What is?" Wyatt had clearly saw nothing change but his hand were gently squeezing Lucy's.
"Let me show you better." He moved the wand where the screen showed the cavity where the heart was beating. Then the sound changed and Wyatt had heard the difference but still his mind didn't let him comprehend what was going on. "Here is heartbeat number one and what you hear echoing behind is heartbeat number two.
"Two?" Wyatt couldn't believe his ears. "But how?"
"It happens sometimes that the babies are so close to each other that one is hiding behind the other and the heartbeats are in sync. It's what seemed to be what happened here. Did you OB never hear it?"
"No." Lucy said, seeing Wyatt's eyes clouding with tears. "She always said that there was only one." It was her turn to squeeze his hand.
"Well it looks like these two boys are little pranksters." Dr Archer laughed. "I'll print a few pictures and let all of this sink in. Congratulations to the two of you again." He said while wiping the gel off Lucy's belly.
"Thank you." Lucy smiled at him and Wyatt extended his hand to the man, tears still in his eyes. Dr Archer gave him a nod and a smile, giving him the pictures and patting him on the shoulder before leaving the room.
"Two." Wyatt still couldn't wrap his head around it all.
"Yeah, two." Lucy's laugh resonated within the small room. "Two more hothead Logan's." Her heart was full but when Wyatt finally stood and pressed his lips to hers, her heart all but burst in her chest.
"Thank You Luce." He said as their lips parted.
"No, thank you. Thank you for being the best husband a girl can ask for and for being the best daddy, even if you don't know it yet." The tears in her eyes mirrored his own, his lips capturing hers in another kiss, this one filled with love.
"Remind me later when I screw this all up." He smirked. "Come on, let's get you and these two babies home." He helped her up and the filming stopped at the walked out of the hospital.
He wiped his eyes furiously with the back of his hand and stared at the now black screen of the video. "I'm going to fix everything, I promise." He closed his eyes out of focus and jumped when a voice appeared behind him. He took a deep breath and turned, facing Agent Christopher this time.
"We found something." Wyatt jumped to his feet, discarding the laptop on the bed, following the senior Homeland Security agent out the door and towards the front of the house. She pointed towards tire marks at the end of the driveway, turning right.
"No, it can't be THAT easy." His fingers grazed the asphalt and looked back, his truck nowhere to be seen.
"What is it?" Rufus was missing something.
"Track my truck! It's too easy but let's start there." Rufus grabbed his phone and made a quick call to Jiya, giving her Wyatt's license plate.
"What now?" He asked as he hung up.
"I grab some of mine and Lucy's things and we don't stop until we find her and she's returned safely and all three of them healthy." It didn't take a lot f time for Wyatt to return and the three of them drove back to the bunker. Everyone stayed out of Wyatt's way for the time being as they worked on locating Lucy themselves.
The pounding in her head was louder and more painful than anything she had yet to experience. She blinked a few times the tears in her eyes stemming for the immense pain and tried to concentrate on her surroundings, trying to figure out where she was even if it was now dark.
"Looks like the princess is finally coming to." She recognized the voice but it was nothing like the one she had heard the first time they had met at her father's house.
"Jack?" She croaked, her voice groggy as well.
"Glad to see it's coming back to you." He was leaning against the wall and the two were alone in the room.
"What do you want from me?" She was now fully awake and anger was starting to bubble to the surface.
"Well someone has to pay for Emma's death and the only person who has everything to lose is Soldier Boy." His smirk was filled with evil.
"Jack, don't do it." She fought against the restraints but thy were tightly bound. "You don't have to take that path, you can fight Rittenhouse, we can fight them together.
"SHUT UP!" He pushed himself from the wall and came inches from her face. "YOU don't get to make the rules! I DO! Let's just see how long Master Sargent Wyatt Logan can chase after us before he finds us." He slapped her across the face, his laugh chilling her bones. Rittenhouse had brainwashed him all the way to his core and for a rare occasion, fear overtook her whole body.
