Lucy made her way her old bunker room before quickly making a detour to the bathroom to spill her guts into the toilet. God this sucks she whined as she sat on the bathroom floor. She felt a familiar hand rubbing circles on her back and instantly relaxed at the touch, she turned around and saw a very beardless Wyatt sitting beside her. Oh shit she panicked and started to offer and explanation but past Wyatt bet her to it.
"You ok Lucy?", he had the same concern in his eyes that future him did when she landed the lifeboat. The extra syllable on her name was not lost on her, they weren't there yet.
"Yeah I'm fine", she lied, "the landings in this lifeboat are even rougher than before if you could imagine that" she gave a small laugh. He stood up and gave her a smirk as he helped her to her feet.
"If you need anything you know where I am… where we are? God this is confusing", he muttered the last part as he walked out of the bathroom. She splashed some water on her face and turned towards the showers with dread. She hated those things, luckily in their time Mason and Jiya upgraded the shower heads to more than just a mere trickle like these ones were. But she made do before so she turned on the shower determined to wash away all the grime of the day, including the dirt she picked up from sitting on the floor seriously they need to mop this bathroom. Turning off the shower she made her way to her room thankful she hadn't changed her nighttime routine in years so she was able to use all of past Lucy's products, minus the cocoa butter for her soon to be growing bump. Past Lucy walked in as she was finishing up moisturizing her face and sat on one of the two beds with an awkward smile. What do you even say to your past self? The two just stared at each other, both not knowing how to start a conversation with themselves. Eventually present Lucy opened a book and started reading. Future Lucy reached for her left hand to take of her rings as she always does before bed and froze when her hand came up bare. Present Lucy heard a faint gasp and popped her head out of her book and noticed a look of panic on her older self's face asked what was the matter.
Older Lucy shook out her clothes and moved around bottles before remembering she had made her and Wyatt leave their rings at home. She replied, "nothing, I thought I lost something for a second but I forgot I left it at home."
"What was it?", her younger self pried hoping to get any sort of glimpse into her future no matter how trivial.
"Nothing important", she lied and turned towards the other bed in the room, "goodnight".
"Goodnight", she heard her own voice echo back.
The next morning everyone was having breakfast when future Lucy wandered her way in into the kitchen hair a mess.
"Morning sleeping beauty!" her Wyatt called out causing everyone but future Lucy to laugh, she shot him an annoyed glare instead.
"You want some coffee Lucy?", Flynn called over his shoulder as he reached for a mug.
Her arm instantly draping across her stomach, "no thanks" causing everyone to stop what they were doing and stare at her because in this time they had never known Lucy to pass up a cup of coffee. Realizing what she had said her arm shot down to her side and she nervously fumbled, "it's… I… uh… just we've learned a few things about coffee… in the future and I'm trying to cut down is all".
"Yeah that it's not good for pregnant women", her Wyatt mumbled in her ear only loud enough for her to hear earning him a smack on the arm as he smirked and walked away. Once again no one else noticed the interaction except for Jiya and without Rufus to gossip with she had been watching the future couple pretty intently since they first arrived and there was definitely something they were hiding she decided, she just couldn't figure out what.
