Coming Back (TID & TMI Crossover)

Epilogue

1879

Will sat up in bed. His mind was racing. Something about the future and Jem not being a Silent Brother and some guy named Jason?

"Will, what's wrong?" Tessa said, lighting the lamp. They were in their room in the London Institute. "You seem anxious."

"Nothing," Will said quietly. "It must just be work strains." He rubbed his eyes.

"You're not even the head of the Institute yet, and you're already feeling the stress." She kissed his cheek. "Tomorrow, let's go to Hyde Park. Just you and me, just some to-be-wed-couple bonding."

Will smiled and kissed her back. "Alright. I'll clear my immensely busy schedule for my beautiful to-be wife."

She smiled and they laid back down. Tessa turned off the lamp.

1905

"JAMES!!!" someone screamed in his ear. He opened an eye and looked up.

"What's wrong, is the Institute on fire?"

Cordelia sighed. Her red hair was in a braid down her back. "No. You were moaning in your sleep and tossing and turning. I wanted to make sure you weren't having a nightmare."

James smiled cock-eyed. "I can't even remember what I was dreaming." He fiddled with his family ring. "Something about swimming pools."

Cordelia sighed again and kissed him on the cheek. She spoke more softly now. "I'm sorry I woke you up. Continue your beauty sleep." James grinned and closed his eyes again.

Later in 2015

It is a wife's duty to spam her husband's phone with pictures. How else will he have a memory of you if you are away? Tessa had taken charge of this task and was now taking bursts of photos on Jem's iPhone.

She had been going back through the 183 or so pictures she had taken and choosing the best ones when she had first found one different picture. "Jem," she called.

He walked into the room, his jeans and t-shirt covered in a rich blue paint. "What's wrong Tessa?" he asked looking over her shoulder at his phone.

"Jem, where did you get this picture of Will?" Jem grabbed it and looked at it. It was a picture of Will smiling in the training room as Jem struggled to get his phone back.

"Oh, yeah! That was when we first found him, when he was training to 'defeat Jace'. I had actually thought he was kidding."

Tessa snatched the iPhone and scrolled through the photo album. There was one of Henry at the car shop, the entire Institute fighting while Will was in a corner reading the third volume of Harry Potter. There was one of James doing a flip into the pool at the hotel. And lastly, Jem had taken a photograph of Will and Tessa up on the hill together on the last day.

Tessa choked down the tears. "Tessa, are you alright?" Jem said, coming to sit next to her.

"They're just so beautiful. I can't help it." Jem pulled her into an embrace as Church jumped onto the table and sniffed the phone. The phone showed a picture of Will and Tessa and Jem, together once more.
