Emma and Five was sitting next to each other in front of a table.

They were waiting for Diego to be brought to them as they were in a visit room in a psych ward.

The couple should have seeing this coming, of course he would be here or in jail.

"How did you find me?" Emma asked, breaking the silence "A guy name Elliott, gave me tip on a club that you might be in and then I talk to a woman working there and she gave me the address" he said and she nodded.

"Why?" Five asked "I landed here a year ago. I started bleeding. but everything was fine. Few months later our son was born, but he died after 48 hours, and because it was the 60' they didn't had the stuff they needed to save him, so he died because of that, and it broke me. I tried to keep going but I couldn't...I just gave up hope" she said as she started sobbing which also 'cause Five to have tears in his eyes.   

Five then understand why Emma was not there when he first landed in Dallas, she have killed herself a few days before, that's why she was not there.

He grabbed her hand "What happen is not your fault" he said. That was the truth, if he haven't screw up, so they landed in the past, their son might still be alive.

He wish he was there, being there for through the rest of the pregnancy, being there when their son was brought into the world, and even so he died 48 hours later, Five would still be wishing he was there, to hold his son, be there for his wife. They could have being there for each other, learning to live with the grief. 

"Why didn't you just let me die?" she asked "Why would I, you are my wife, my everything, I need you and I couldn't lose you" he said "I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt you" she sob.

"Babe" he said before he wrapped his arms around her as she sob into his chest.

"It's not your fault and I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry I wasn't there, but I'm here now and I promise you that this wouldn't happen again" he said.

"And now we have 10 days until the apocalypse will happen again" Emma said as she pulled away while letting out a small and quite sob "It's good that we got two days more to stop the apocalypse. We can handle this and then we just need to find a way home" Emma said before she let out sigh "Why can't we just get one day break" she said "I don't know Love. Let's hope this will be the last apocalypse we need to stop" he said "I hope. I'm tired" she said "I know, me too" he said before he looked at her, glancing that the bandage around her wrist.

"You okay?" he asked, even so it was stupid question, she was not okay, either was he. They have just lost their third child. But Emma was the one that was in most pain and Five knew that.

"No" she said as she lightly shook her head "But maybe losing a child for the third time it's a sign that we are not meant to be parents" she said with a quite sob "Darling---" "Don't" she said, cutting him off "I don't want to talk about it, or mention it again" she said and he nodded with a sigh.
