Desmond's heart was pounding as he followed Ocean through the back, the hand that was not being held was wrapped protectively around the swell of their twins. He was still reeling had the afternoon had been so calm and peaceful and then suddenly hunters were raiding the city for people with abilities, people like them. By the time they had made it outside the portal and Ocean informed him that he would be going back to help people, Desmond was out of breath and definitely in a panic. His hand tightened around Ocean's, he knew what had to be done and knew Ocean was being logical but he selfishly didn't want to leave without Ocean. It wasn't like the mater manipulator was in the best of shape either and he worried about him trying to push himself in that selfless way of his.

"Well then you better keep their father safe or I swear..." Desmond broke himself off with a kiss to Ocean's lips and a tight squeeze of his hand before finally letting him go.
