When I saw you first, it took every ounce of me not to kiss you. When I saw you laugh, it took every ounce of me not to fall in love. And when I saw your soul, it took every ounce of me.

Spending forty-five years in a future was not what Rebecca had intended to happen, but neither did she ever expect to marry the man who nearly killed her the first time they met. At first, they were like partners in crimes—as their goal was to figure out a way to travel back to the past, and then one thing led to another, and they became lovers with their first kiss, until he dropped down on one his knees with a gorgeous ring he found lying around in the destruction. That was how she became Mrs. Hargreeves.

Well, to be more exact, she had a least a whole list she never assumed to find out during their search for a way home. If a piece of information was being told over and over again, and in the end, you'll start to think it's true.

Just like how her parents made her believe she was God's greatest failure, and her ability to be able to predict the future was the act of corruption. Perhaps it was the other fact that she was able to travel towards the future. But only to an extent, as she could naturally disappear to the period of the picture she had painted. That was how she ended up in the apocalypse.

But even if Rebecca could name all of it, one thing that she could never imagine would ever occur was going back home, to the past.

Her body being hurled onto the ground by the blue magnetic vortex as her face landed first onto the concrete while she scraped her knees and legs on the way. She wasn't even sure if this was the right date before the world had ended, but she knew, without a doubt, she had a bruised somewhere on her stomach, "Shit!" She groaned as she went to gripped her belly, and out of impulse, she looked at the body lying next to her.

She was relieved he was alright.

A lot had happened during their marriage, and it's been practically half a year since she had last seen Five, and never in her life had she ever felt so alive. Though he did look a lot younger, he was still the same man she had fallen in love with.

"Does anyone else see little number five and a little girl, or is that just me?" The voice in front of her caught her attention, glancing up, she saw five people in front of her, bewildered that two kids had popped out of a hole.

Not minding the pain she felt in her lower abdomen and the attention of the strangers, she hisses as she crawled over to Five sides, shaking him, hoping he was alive, "Five,"

"Hey," She cried out the second time, "Five!" and the last must have done something because, by time, she was about to call out his name for the third time, he pushed himself off of the ground as he shook his head from the dizziness.

"Rebecca?" He weakly called out her name, and she isn't going to admit it, but when her name rolled off of his very tongue, he still gave her the same effect as the same day they had met, "Yeah, I'm here,"
