Despite their slight head start the two lifeboats landed back in the present at nearly the same time. Wyatt and Jiya were the first ones out screaming, "Lucy needs a doctor!" Thankfully the doctor that was called in to treat Flynn was still there. Wyatt carefully helped Lucy down from the lifeboat and walked her over to the waiting doctor.
"She fell down some stairs, I'm pretty sure her arm is broken. She's also pregnant so make sure the baby is alright" Wyatt discreetly explained to the doctor, she gave a firm nod and guided Lucy to the exam room. Wyatt was sick with worry.
Jiya knew there was no way that Wyatt could pull himself away from Lucy so she volunteered to do the debriefing with Agent Christopher.
A few hours later they got confirmation that Lucy's arm was indeed broken. The baby was given a clean bill of health and the parents to be let out a breath they didn't realize they were holding. She was put in a cast that covered her entire forearm and was left alone to rest since she wasn't able to take any medications for the pain. The doctor recommended that Lucy stay the night for observation before they flew back home, just to be safe. Wyatt never left her side.
When Agent Christopher came to check on the future couple she smiled at the sight before her. Wyatt had dragged the metal fold out chair across the room and had fallen asleep using Lucy as a pillow. Even though they were from the future, and had some cosmetic changes, they didn't look all that different from the Wyatt and Lucy she knew. She watched the pair a little longer before Jiya came up next to her.
"She's going to be ok right?" there was a hint of fear in her voice that Denise couldn't figure why it was there.
"Of course she's going to be ok Jiya it was a broken arm, Lucy's tough." Still seeing the worry on the young tech's face Denise looked back at the scene again. There was an extra heart monitor that she hadn't noticed before. It was hooked up and working, beating at a much faster pace than the one to the left of Lucy. She then noticed the way the soldier had positioned himself, he wasn't sleep on Lucy his head was on the bed next to her, covering her with a protective arm. Looking to the historian she was sound asleep with one arm behind her head and her casted arm resting just below Wyatt's, on the faint bump of her stomach. She gasped lightly.
"It wasn't just a broken arm, was it?" the tech shook her head and walked away.
Lucy woke to see that Wyatt was still in the same position he had been when she fell asleep. She smiled and put her casted arm over his and used the one that was behind her head to lightly run her fingers through his hair, careful not to wake him. She looked up and saw Denise beaming from the doorway.
"How long have you known?" she asked walking closer.
"A month or so" the historian replied.
Denise mirrored her actions exactly from the first time they told her, it was adorable. She asked about how Lucy had told Wyatt she was pregnant. Lucy smiled at the memory,
Wyatt walked into the room he shared with Lucy in the bunker and gave her a quick kiss before changing into his pajamas, "What did you do today?"
"I got bored while you were doing flight training so I decided to do a little arts and crafts"
"Make anything good?" he teased. She nodded and handed him a folded up piece of fabric. He recognized it instantly, it was his favorite shirt that he had accidentally shrunk to a hilariously unwearable size the first time he tried to do his own laundry. But something was different, there was writing on it. His eyes skimmed over the words as he held the small shirt in his hands 'My daddy can go back in time to beat your daddy' and there was a terrible drawing of the lifeboat at the bottom.
"What?" he breathed out, tears forming in his eyes.
Lucy was standing on her knees at the edge of the bed in front of him, tears in her own eyes she smiled and let out a choked laugh. The smile on Wyatt's face took her breath away and she swears up and down that she has never seen his eyes shine so bright. He let out a small laugh of his own before he lunged himself at her, much like she did to him during their time in 1941. It caught her by surprise but he kissed her with such raw emotion that she felt her legs go weak.
"I love you so damn much Luce" he whispered as he pulled out of the kiss before dropping to his knees and pulling up Lucy's shirt to pepper soft kisses across her stomach, "I love you too little one, so much, I'll do everything in my power to protect you and keep you safe. You are never going to know a world where I wouldn't move mountains for you, you hear me?" Lucy has tears streaming freely down her face she pulled her husband up by his collar and smashed her lips to his. The kiss started out sweet but turned lustful almost instantly.
Lucy was openly crying again after finishing her story and she noticed Denise's eyes were a little glossy as she handed her a box of tissues. They sat in a comfortable silence for afew minutes.
"Will you promise me that you'll act surprised in the future when we tell you? You were so fantastically wonderful, setting up doctor's appointments, making sure I was eating ok, checking up on me and it was the first time in a while that I missed my mom. You instantly stepped into the doting mother role without being asked and I knew right then and there that this baby would never know Carol Preston… as far as I'm concerned you're this baby's grandmother now. I don't say that to make you feel old but because I know you'll do a better job than my mother ever could. You are everything she was not and that's all I want for my child, to grow up knowing they are loved unconditionally."
It was now Denise who had tears rolling down her cheeks as Lucy handed back the box of tissues with a smile.
"You are going to make a fantastic mother Lucy" she smiled as she walked out of the room.
"I thought we weren't supposed to tell people" Wyatt mumbled into the sheets and he turned his head to look up at Lucy.
"You were awake this whole time!", Lucy accused, "Why didn't you say something?"
"I didn't want to intrude on your moment with Denise… that was really sweet what you said to her, I know how much having her around means to you." Lucy just smiled and continued to work her fingers through his hair.
The lifeboat landed back in 2023 with a loud thud. The hatch opened and they could already tell Christopher was going to be upset as they climbed down stairs.
"You guys were supposed to be back two days ago", she scolded then noticed the cast on Lucy's arm, "what the hell happened!"
"Nope debriefing later" Wyatt practically growled, his eyes dark as he grabbed Lucy and threw her over his shoulder, taking off down the hall giggling like teenagers. The door to their room closed with a hard slam and cut off Lucy's squeals of delight. The bunker didn't see them for the rest of the night, or most of the next morning for that matter.
Later that year to Lucy's, and everyone's, surprise she delivered twins, Scarlett Amelia Logan and Henry Ethan Logan. They were the most beautiful babies she ever saw and that was her completely unbiased opinion. All the new parents wanted to do was stare at their children for hours, they couldn't pull themselves to look away. Scarlett was all Wyatt, she had the same nose, her lips slightly upturned at the end and of course his incredible blue eyes. But Wyatt saw small wisps of dark hair that he had a sneaking suspicion came from Lucy. To his delight Henry was practically a carbon copy of Lucy. He had the largest smile Wyatt had ever seen on a baby, paired with her brown irresistible puppy dog eyes he knew he was in trouble for when it came time to discipline him. Lucy noticed the soft sandy brown hair on top of her son's head and smiled, look at that, I guess I was wrong… we both got what we want. Eventuallyshe fell asleep against Wyatt's chest with two strong arms wrapped protectively around their new family as he quietly sang 'You Made Me Love You' in her ear.
