If you're unwilling to read Past Happenings, as it's rather long, all you have to know is that everybody was saved, Stephen, Nick, Claudia, all of them. This is also the sequel to Not What We Were Expecting, which comes after Past Happenings.
In Past Happenings, Danny, Connor and Abby traveled to the future in "Series 4" and saw Abby and Connor's son Nicholas Temple and Sarah and Becker's daughter Claudia, who told them that Sarah died on June 3rd, 2029, and Becker entered a permanent state of depression after her death. Abby and Connor told her that they would prevent it. They also swore never to tell anybody, because revealing the future could put lives in danger.

Third in the "Past Happenings" Series

Chapter 1: Sleepless Night
Captain Becker was unable to sleep. He tossed and turned, his mind in a whirl. He was uneasy and distressed, but he didn't know why.
Finally he sat up, letting his feet fall over the edge of the bed and the blanket fall from his bare chest. He looked at the form of his sleeping wife Sarah beside him. She was so beautiful, especially when her face was relaxed in the calm surrender of sleep.
Becker pulled on a robe and walked down through the hall to a room nearby. He looked inside the room at the teenager who was also sleeping like her mother. His little Anne. Actually she was Claudia Anne, but everyone just called her Anne, except for Abby and Connor, who insisted on calling her Claudia, but would not give their reason why. Which made it even more confusing because of Claudia Cutter, Nick's wife, who Nick had rescued from a separate dimension many years ago.
Becker smiled apprehensively, gazing at his daughter with the raven black hair. His life was perfect, why was he so nervous? It was if an impending doom was leering over him.
Connor and Abby Temple also couldn't sleep. But they knew why.
"Connor, you know what tomorrow is, it's June 3rd, 2029."
"I know that Abby!" He snapped back.
"We can't just sit by, knowing what's supposed to happen, we told Claudia Becker we wouldn't let it happen."
"Well, what are we supposed to do? Tell Sarah to lock herself up for a whole day?"
"If it means saving her life, then yes!" Connor stood up from the living room couch, frustrated.
"It's not supposed to happen this way, we changed the future, maybe it's not going to happen at all."
"We can't take that chance Connor, this is our friend we're talking about."
"You think I don't know that?" He nearly shouted, but lowered his voice, remembering their children Nicholas and Nicole were still sleeping.
"We have to tell someone." Abby whispered.
"We can't, we agreed that sharing what we know about the future would endanger everyone." They thought it was best not to tell anybody that they met their son, Nicholas in the future, and the Beckers' daughter Claudia.
Claudia had told them that her mother had died on June 3rd, 2029. The Temples knew that Sarah and Becker would marry years before they actually did. They also knew that Becker had been devastated and had entered into a permanent state of depression after Sarah had died.
"Danny doesn't even know, and he was there!" Danny had indeed missed the conversation between Connor, Abby, and the grownup Claudia Anne Becker.
"We should at least tell Cutter." Abby said. Connor nodded his head.
"Yes, he would know what to do."
Please review! Chapter 2 coming soon! :D
