Darcy left a small box on his side table before going to take a bath early in the morning. A note on top read:
I was going through my things and found this. It's everything I saved from those first few months, before I came here. I know things are...still not okay. But maybe this could help you smile. Just a little.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I was so worried about scaring him but I...I should have thought of you too. I was just so Last time, you'd been busy at work, before it happened, and I'd been doing other things too and you beat yourself up so hard for so long. We both did. I thought maybe if I kept you home, made sure those last few days were happy and we were together that it'd be easier. I thought that's why I got sent to this time. I should have known nothing could make it easier. Even knowing it was coming didn't help. But I'm glad I got to see him again, that we could do it better this time and that I know he knew how much we loved him.
He went home. Back to the time he was from before he came here. Some time next year you get switched with the alternate universe you, the you from his time. He told me one day his Jacob woke up and started talking about us, like he'd lived two lives. So...he's not hurting, he's still okay, and he remembers us. You'll get to see him again some day too, if that still happens. I hope it does
I'm just in the bath, call if you need anything.
I love you Bruce. Darcy
Inside the box is everything she kept from her pregnancy before she time jumped, including a picture she took the second she told him, the first few ultrasounds, a picture from when she just started to show, a few pictures of the two of them, a pair of baby socks they'd picked up shortly after finding out, some notes she'd written for him and other little trinkets and photos
