Full Sypnosis: It's another 2 1/2 years until they bring down all of Rittenhouse, including Emma and Lucy's mother. Lucy and Wyatt are engaged, but after she ends up pregnant with their twin girls, the two get married quickly. However, a quick marriage was a bust for them and the two need a quick divorce, which also means a quick solution to both wanting to be parents to their twins but living on opposite sides of the country. When they decide to split them up, one keep one and the other keep the other, it was never meant that the girls would meet, or that the one living with Wyatt would meet Lucy or vice-versa. However, after coincidentally sending both to the same summer camp in Oregon, that's exactly what happened. What comes next? Only time will tell.

A/N: Okay, so this story is already a prologue and then five chapters in on AO3. Some things that during the course of other chapters I needed or decided to point out were that the teenage versions of Maya and Traley, I have the picture of Malina Weissman in my head for. She is their fc if you need someone to picture. Secondly, if you are reading this here now but did read it on AO3 too (but maybe haven't read the newest chapter there yet), I have changed a character's name, yes. I will not point out what it originally was, and will not be discussing it further, but that is who Traley is. Okay, thank you for listening now enjoy the story!

Prologue

They didn't want to kill her, at any point, not really. However, they were able to bring down every single member of Rittenhouse in present day, including Lucy's mother, and Emma had still been torturing them with her jumps for three months after the most recent arrest. It had been a little over two and a half years since Emma stole the Motherboat, and they had learned a lot more, such as the fact one can apparently double back as long as they don't meet a repeat of themselves, and grown a lot closer, as it wasn't long thereafter that Lucy and Wyatt decided to go for it, to start dating and actually by the time they killed Emma, were engaged.

Killed Emma. Agent Christopher had given them the clearance to kill her long ago, Emma was Rittenhouse and it did not matter if she had to come back dead, but it wasn't what they had originally wanted. Or that they still wanted, they would have to leave the body there, and without two pilots at all times, would have to somehow come back and retrieve either the Lifeboat or Mothership, whichever they decided to leave there and come back with.

Of course, there was a plan set in place that, of course, they had to use after they arrived back in 2019 and Wyatt said, in an exhausted tone, "Emma's dead." Of course, back at Mason, Jiya had been better for a long time now, both in piloting and health-wise and they would just wait the four hours then have her and the other pilot they were now training, Jamie, go back and retrieve the machine.

After that, they had only the clearance to go back one more time, get Carol Preston and Henry Wallace together and, finally, bring Amy home. When they got back, after Lucy asked about what the name Amy Preston meant and Agent Christopher asked, in a puzzled tone, "Your sister?" No one could describe the amount of relief that washed over them.

Reading up on herself in this timeline, it seemed mostly correct, Henry died in 1996 when Amy was 5 and Lucy was 13, but instead of Carol just getting diagnosed with her cancer in 2009, she actually died of it then too, when Amy was 19 and Lucy was 26, her reports claiming she refused treatment.

The reunion was half-sided, at best, which would make sense since, in this timeline, a now 29 year old Amy had never not existed but, never-the-less, heartfelt until Amy noticed Lucy's engagement ring and started pestering about how Lucy could be engaged and never had Amy meet the guy. But, when they did meet just one night after, Amy loved him, like Lucy knew she would.

Lucy chose to not tell Amy about who their mom really was, or the fact that they were only technically half-siblings, it wasn't needed especially due to how young, in this timeline, Amy was when their mom died. She would never tell her, and it wasn't something she felt ashamed of either.

The engagement didn't last long. The excitement of everything was something to celebrate, it was far from the first time they had sex but it was a nice added component to the celebration. Until Lucy got pregnant, with twins too which was a surprise since, while her great-grandmother was a twin no one else had yet to be in her family, and they decided to basically elope. Neither wanted Lucy to have an obvious pregnant stomach at the wedding, and they didn't want to do it after the kids were born either.

It was a small celebration in the backyard of the Preston house, apparently Amy was currently dating a pastor who had his ordination to perform marriages. Amy was Lucy's maid of honor, and Jiya a brides maid, while Rufus was Wyatt's best man, and one of his buddies from the military,

Darren, was a grooms man. The only people in the audience were Connor Mason, his boyfriend, Agent Christopher, and her wife. Luckily, Carol's old Elizabeth James gown still was able to fit Lucy perfectly.

The twins, Traley Winifred and Maya Georgina, were born on May 12th, 2020 with Traley being nine minutes older.

Maybe it was the fact that they had to marry so soon. Maybe it was the fact that that a pregnant Lucy was definitely different than a non-pregnant Lucy, and Wyatt hadn't signed up having to deal with a pregnant Lucy so soon. Maybe it was that they were no longer time traveling, that that bit of excitement was taken out of their lives. Whatever it was, the marriage crash and burned with only three weeks after the twins were born, they were filing for divorce.

Lucy made clear to the judge, multiple times, she was supposed to be starting at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island at the end of August, and needed this to be done as quickly as possible as Wyatt also was making clear there was no way in hell he was going to Rhode Island with her to finish this.

The custody agreement was the hardest part to get through, living on two different sides of the country, both wanting to see the girls, and both being fit parents, there wasn't a simple solution until Wyatt suggested, exasperated, "Why don't I just keep Traley and Lucy keep Maya? Each keep one of them, never see each other again, that goes for us and the twins." Somehow, Lucy agreed.

Amy moved to Rhode Island to help Lucy and Maya settle in. Once there, Lucy, of course, quickly changed her name back to her maiden name of Preston, and had Maya's last name changed to Preston as well. Later, after breaking up with Jiya due a fight about if they were on Wyatt's or Lucy's side in the divorce, Rufus would come and join them. The time travel project had been shut down, and he was out of a job so he'd do some work around the house.

Realizing he couldn't be without a job and be the great father he wanted to be, Wyatt got a job in training at the Fort Bliss Base down in West Texas. He didn't want Traley to grow up on a base, so he chose to live in the nearby Horizon City, and the same that happened to have Rufus begin to live with Lucy came that way, with Jiya moving to live with the Logans for the same reason.

Neither were sure what the custody agreement actually meant in many ways. It was clear, of course, Lucy and Maya couldn't come to see Traley or Wyatt, and Wyatt and Traley couldn't come to see Maya or Lucy, but were they supposed to tell the other girls the truth? Were they supposed to tell them they had an identical twin sister out there, one who shared everything about them, but that they could never see the other? Both decided not to, but the question rang over their heads, exactly what was it they were supposed to do about this?

When she was six, Wyatt would find Traley rummaging around and looking at a torn up picture of him and Lucy, where just Lucy was shown. He told her that was who her mom was, but never went into much detail, though he allowed her to keep the photo.

While, over in Rhode Island, Lucy had almost right away framed the one with just Wyatt in, put it in Maya's nursery, which later became her room, never failing to say every time that Maya asked about it, "That's your dad, sweetie." Somehow, that acknowledgment always seemed to satisfy the girl so that she didn't ask more questions.

Their lives, they were okay. But none knew what was about to happen next.
