In that time, Richard was at the table with younger Riff Raff and Miracle while the lady of the house was quickly making them breakfast, as she had to go to work as soon as she possibly could. "The Queen had her first born child today." she told her husband, knowing the kids were probably not that interested. "You're going to have somevun to play vith, hon." she told her son.

"I bet that kid's gonna be just like his mother." Richard murmured, looking through his paper.

Miracle looked at her grandfather and grandmother. She gave a small smile to the boy.

The boy smiled back. "You are so beautiful..."

Miracle gave a small smile.

The curly-haired blonde woman gave tarts to Richard, her son, and Miracle. "You know, child, you look so familiar to me now that I think about it... Do I know your mother?"

The blonde girl then looked at the woman and gave a small shrug.

"She's probably one of the Queen's new domestic's daughters." Richard suggested, not knowing how that assumption really was.

The blonde woman smiled, then felt another kick. "My, my, my... You wanna feel your baby sister kick, Ritz?" she asked the boy.

"Okay, Mumsy." the boy smiled, then put his hand on his mother's tummy.

Miracle watched with a small smile. She figured the baby was her mother, and she hid a smile as she heard her dad's real name.


Riff looked around when the arrived.

"So many memories..." 'Tim' praised.

'Quinn' nodded and looked around. "Riff, do you remember vhat our old house used to look like?"

'Brien' nodded. "I remember." he said.

"I just hope I don't lose it vhen ve find it." 'Quinn' sighed.

"Focus." 'Tim' warned her.

'Brien' held 'Quinn's' hand and started to lead the way back to their old home.

'Quinn' followed and looked astonished as soon as they got to their old house and cooed at it. She resisted the urge to cry in happiness and joy and looked into the window to see their parents. "Mother...Father..." she whispered.

'Brien' held her close and gently.

'Quinn' sniffled and heaved a sharp sigh. "I vant to talk to them so badly..." she murmured as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"We will to get Miracle back, but you can't reveal our true selves..." Riff said.

Magenta bowed her head and slowly nodded. "Yes, brother..." she muttered. She had millions of questions she wanted to ask their long-lost parents, such as if they would accept her relationship with her brother, but she would have to hold them.


"I think it's going to be a girl..." Ritz told his mother.

"Vhat makes you say that, sveetie?" the woman asked brightly.

Miracle smiled again.

"I just know." Ritz shrugged. "What do you think, Miracle?" he asked his possible new friend.

Miracle came carefully over, her eyes asking if she could touch the baby bump. The blonde woman nodded, allowing it.

"Kimi..." Richard set a gaze on his wife.

"Oh, it's fine, she's our guest, Ricky..." Ritz's mother told her husband.

Miracle touched her grandmother's stomach and gently rubbed. She nodded smiling, even without talking she could sense it was definitely a girl.

"Have you thought of names yet?" Richard asked his wife.

"It's still a little too early... Vhen the time comes, ve shall have a good one for her." Kimi replied, allowing their guest to feel the baby.

"I hope it's not a girl, little girls are icky." Ritz wrinkled his nose.

Miracle let her hand move off the stomach. She smiled and then shook her head still smiling. The baby inside gently kicked after Miracle touched her.

"Ooh, I think she likes you, Miracle." Kimi giggled, then had a quick breakfast with her family.

Ritz pet the teddy bear in his hands. "I'll never give you up, Rex, I promise... Only someone very special will keep you."

Miracle smiled and then looked at the teddy bear and looked in surprise. Ritz played with the teddy and hugged it close like a little girl with a stuffed unicorn toy.

"There's nothing special like a little boy who likes his teddy, anyone who doesn't is a no good kid." Richard smiled.

"I shudder to think of anyvun vith a child like that." Kimi added.

Miracle found herself having a flashback about Eddie being like that.

'Vhen Eddie said he didn't like his teddy, you knew he was a no-good kid!' Dr. Scott had told his former students and the castle residence about his nephew, having the old teddy with him before finding out Eddie had been killed that very night, only earlier than he showed up.


"Now, remember, who are we?" Frank asked the siblings before they went to knock on the door.

"Brien and Quinn, you are Tim, Quinn and myself are Miracle's parents." Riff said to show he remembered.

Frank nodded. "And we are not dangerous and only want what is rightfully ours."

"Should I still use my accent?" Magenta asked, trying to see if she would have to drop her strange speaking, but since Miracle had the same accent, maybe she wouldn't have to.

Riff hoped Miracle would be able to recognize them.

"It would probably be best." Frank told Magenta, then knocked on the woodsy cottage's door.


Miracle looked in the direction of the door.

"I wonder who that could be?" Richard wondered.

Kimi went to get the door and saw the trio. "Hello..." she greeted, rather eerily.

"Hello, we're looking for our daughter, eight years old with blonde hair and green eyes." 'Brien' told Kimi.

"Your daughter? Vould she be named Miracle?" Kimi asked after that description.

'Quinn' resisted the urge to cry and hug Kimi very tight, being her long-lost unknown mother.

Ritz glanced at 'Brien' and 'Quinn', feeling strange toward them. "That man looks funny..."

"Ritz, don't say things like that!" Richard scolded, but not being mean toward his son.

Riff saw that his younger self found him weird. He shrugged though, but nodded to Kimi. Miracle came to see.

"And who is this?" Kimi noticed Frank with them.

'Tim' put an arm around 'Brien'. "We're really close... I live with 'Brien' and 'Quinn'."

Ritz didn't pay attention, but he noticed his toy spaceship was broken. Since his parents were busy, the boy found himself fixing it himself without anyone's help.

'Brien' forced a smile on his face "This is Tim..." he said.

Miracle looked at them trying to recognize them.

"How do you do?" 'Tim' asked posh, in a way he would lure people, he knew Miracle would recognize it.

'Quinn' glanced down at Miracle and smirked with a tiny wink.

"Vell, Miracle, is this your family?" Kimi asked the blonde girl.

After a second, Miracle smiled and nodded.

"Oh, do you mind if ve took a quick picture vith Miracle?" Kimi asked. "Just a vay of showing our hospitality."

'Quinn' had a twinkle in her eye about a photograph being taken of Miracle with her long-lost grandparents. "Not at all, ma'am."

Richard gave a shrug and went to get their family camera as Ritz was focused on his spaceship. Riff nodded, also happy about this. Miracle gave a smile. This would be awesome. Richard came and handed the camera to Miracle's parents and went to pose with the girl and Kimi.

"Sorry, I'm a shutterbug." Kimi told them with a quirky smile.

"It's no problem at all." 'Quinn' said, nearly choking back sobs and happy tears for Miracle to be able to experience this.

Miracle smiled up at Kimi and Richard. Riff took the camera and backed up a bit to fit the people in the photo. Richard put his arm around Kimi as Miracle stood in between them. Magenta was still very emotional over all of this. It was very good for Miracle and she couldn't believe this was actually happening.

Frank patted her back gently. "It's okay..." he whispered tenderly.

Riff took the picture and carefully handed the camera back. Miracle smiled. And then hugged the woman.

"Thank you, my good man." Richard took the camera, smiling fondly at the man he didn't know was his son.

Magenta came to Kimi. "Miss, you must promise me something... If there is a fire in your house, vould you please save a photograph of your family vith your newborn child so people can identify who had suffered?"

Kimi didn't even seem hesitant about that question and nodded her head. "I promise, a Vitus never backs down from a promise, no matter how impossible or dangerous." she said thickly.

Riff nodded at Richard and smiled back. Miracle hugged Richard then and went over to her parents.

"Vell, it vas nice having you, Miracle, ve hope to see you and your vonderful family again very soon." Kimi said, bending to the girl's height. "Be good for them now."

Miracle nodded and gently hugged the woman again. Richard put his hand up to wave at them good-bye, then went back inside. Magenta was still getting emotional at this scene, it was too beautiful. Kimi squeezed the young girl in the hug, then told everyone to take care and went inside to her husband and son.

Magenta sniffled as the door closed and she buried her face in her hands. "She's just as beautiful as I remembered..."

Riff hugged Magenta.

"Ready to go?" Frank asked Miracle, not as emotional about Richard and Kimi as Riff Raff and Magenta were.

Miracle nodded. "Yes..." she said softly.

"Come along then." Frank told her, then lead them back to where they transported from.

Magenta looked at her parents one last time as a tear rolled down her cheek. "Goodbye Mother and Father... I'll miss you..."

Miracle took Magenta's hand. Magenta sniffled and squeezed Miracle's hand gently. She also wish she could have told their parents that they would die in five years from a terrible accident. Miracle looked happy and sad. Magenta held Riff close and started to cry as Frank sent the coordinates to send them back to the present day. Miracle hugged both her parents.

Magenta sniffled. "Thank you, dear."

"I've had it with the Vitus family!" the Queen snarled from looking to the cottage. "I want them all gone! No one pays as much attention to me since Richard Vitus became a top General! I don't care what it takes, pour gas on their house and light them on fire if you have to!" she told two of her servants as she watched the happy Richard and Kimi cuddle together while Ritz was down for a nap.


The flash of bright light came back and everyone stepped out. Magenta came out and she looked to see in place of the American Gothic painting there was a picture of Kimi holding baby Magenta with Richard on her side and carrying a very young Ritz over his shoulders. Magenta gasped and pointed to it to show her brother. Frank came out and rushed to slip into something comfortable. Riff looked and gave a smile. Miracle looked at the pic. Magenta sniffled with a smile on her face and hugged her family again. Miracle looked sheepish now they were all back.

"I'm glad to be back, but... I just..." Magenta told her brother, then looked back at the transmit beam anxiously.

"No." Riff warned gently.

Miracle looked confused.

"But, Mother and Father!" Magenta cried.

"We can't change the past..." Riff said softly.

Magenta looked up at him, her eyes wet with a tear rolling down her cheek.

"He's right, Magenta, it could cause a major paradox," Frank told her as he was comfortable again. "Look, I know you miss Richard and Kimi, but the past is in the past and you have to let it go."

Riff looked at Frank and then back at Magenta, he stroked her cheek gently.

"It's not fair..." Magenta murmured sadly.

"I'm sorry, but we can't change the past no matter how badly you want it, just admit at least you got to spend some time with them." Frank told her, then went off to find Sarah-Anne.

Riff hugged Magenta gently. Miracle also hugged Magenta. Magenta smiled fondly at her family. She deeply missed the people who were her parents, but she at least got to see them one last time and she was sad that they couldn't tell Richard and Kimi about their untimely deaths that would eventually come. However, if they probably knew about it, this beautiful future might not have happened and that things happened for a reason. When Richard and Kimi died, Riff and Magenta were alone and only had each other which eventually led to them falling in love and having their darling little Miracle. Maybe it was better this way.

"Mommy, I'm sorry I vandered off from LP and Noelle..." the girl said softly.

"It's okay, honey, you didn't know... Did you see anything special?" Magenta asked pleasantly.

"I saw baby Frank and I saw daddy vhen he vas younger and You kicked Gramma vhen I touched her stomach." Miracle said softly.

"You felt my first kick...?" Magenta's voice nearly cracked about that.

"Vun of them..." the girl said, it seemed to her she did.

Magenta beamed brightly. Not only did Miracle get to meet her grandparents, but also experience a thing such as that. Miracle smiled.


Meanwhile Sarah-Anne was tossing and turning while whimpering. LP was sitting in a chair by Sarah-Anne's bed and waited until the nightmare was over so she could talk it over with the poor woman. Sarah-Anne woke up with a small shriek and looked around.

"Shh, shh, it's okay..." LP soothed Sarah-Anne in a way that Miracle would. "You must've had a bad dream, Miss Sarah-Anne..."

Sarah-Anne looked at LP. She nodded slightly after calming down.

"Do you wanna tell me what happened?" LP asked gently.

Sarah-Anne knew it wasn't right for someone her age to hear it. "No, Bella, but thank you." she said softly, smiling weakly at the girl.

"Should I get Daddy for you?" LP offered.

Sarah-Anne gave a tiny smile. "I'll wait for him to come here." she said, stroking the girl's hair briefly.

LP smiled and waited with her for until then. Sarah-Anne smiled gently at the girl.

LP smiled back and looked over her shoulder. "Hey, Daddy!"

"Hi, sweetie." Frank pinched her cheek gently, then came to Sarah-Anne. "Hi, sugar loaf."

Sarah-Anne gave a weak smile. "Hi," she said and gently hugged him but held an arm out for LP to join them too.

LP squealed and joined in the hug with them.

"How are you holding up?" Frank asked, smiling.

"Just about." Sarah-Anne said quietly, but hugged both.

Frank looked at his daughter, then down at Sarah-Anne. "Would you like some alone time?"

LP got on her feet if they would like some privacy, she was eager to see Miracle again anyway.

Sarah-Anne smiled and pecked LP on the cheek. She nodded to Frank but didn't let him go.

Frank gestured for LP to leave so they would have some time together. "Any bad dreams?"

LP ran off to go looking for Miracle.

Sarah-Anne nodded. "Yes, luckily LP was here to soothe me until you came, your daughter is absolutely the dearest girl..." she said softly.

"It's hard to raise her sometimes in these conditions, I was going to leave her with my mother at first because this seemed too dangerous for a child to be around during one of my affairs." Frank said gently.

Sarah-Anne smiled "I'll help if you like..." she said softly.

"I would like that... Being a single parent is harder than it seems, my dear." Frank purred.

Sarah-Anne smiled gently. "Then I'll help." she told him.

Frank smiled back. Sarah-Anne squeezed Frank a little tighter in the hug and then let him go still smiling, though weakly.

"What did you dream about?" Frank asked in a hushed tone.

"It was the guards chasing me and you called me to you but I couldn't catch you..." she said softly.

"Oh, dear... It's all over now, I promise you that you're safe with me now." Frank cooed, then started to give her warm kisses to comfort her from the frighteningly cold nightmares she would suffer from for a while now.

Sarah-Anne kissed him back, just as warmly but more softly.

"I'm sorry you have to go through this." Frank held her very close.

"It wasn't your fault, Mio Caro." the human told Frank gently.

"I should've known my mother would rebel against you..." Frank cooed.

"No one could've known." Sarah-Anne said.

Frank patted her back gently and cooed. Sarah-Anne looked up at Frank. She gave a soft smile. She really did love this man.

"Would you like some cocoa? It's getting very cold this time of year... I believe you earth people are getting ready for 'holly days'." Frank offered as it was nearly December now.

Sarah-Anne giggled at Frank's way of saying it. "Yes, the holidays will be coming up soon." she agreed.

"Maybe we could celebrate with you if you'd like." Frank offered to make the girl feel more like at a real home.

Sarah-Anne smiled. "That would be nice." she told him.

"Which do you celebrate?" Frank asked.

Sarah-Anne shrugged, "I never really had any proper celebrations." she said.

"No?" Frank frowned. He thought that every single person on earth had a festive celebration of any of the December holidays as a child throughout most of their lives.

Sarah-Anne winced at the coolness of his tone, was he mad at her?

"Huh? Oh, don't worry, dear, I'm not mad, just willing to experience in an adventure for a better life for you." Frank said to her to assure her he wasn't angry.


"Miracle, you're home!" LP beamed and ran toward the girl.

Miracle grinned and ran to LP hugging her.

"Are you okay?" LP asked, whispering softly in the hug.

Miracle nodded. "I got to spend the night at my gramma's, but I'm sorry for vorrying you." she whispered back.

"You got to see your gramma?" LP sounded a little confused over that.

"My parents' mom and grampa too." Miracle clarified.

"Oh..." LP said softly, but beamed. "Cool!"

Miracle giggled. "Yeah!"

"I bet the mother is so pretty and the daddy's eyes sparkle!" LP beamed about Miracle's grandparents she never knew anything about.

Miracle nodded. "Yeah..." she said happily and softly.

"Did you see little Magenta?" LP wondered.

Miracle grinned still "I saw my mom in Gramma's stomach and got to feel her kick." she said happily

"That must be so cool!" LP smiled at that.

Miracle nodded. "It vas." she told her best friend.

"Think you'll go back?" LP asked, curiously.

Miracle shook her head. "Could be dangerous." she explained.

"Dangerous...?" LP nearly whimpered in fear.

Miracle nodded. "Yeah, in case something happens to change the future." she explained.

"Oh..." LP bit her lip. "Too bad... At least you got to meet 'em."

Miracle nodded.

LP smiled a bit. "I guess time travel is dangerous, I guess we'll just have to remember things the way they are and try not to disrupt the past."

Miracle nodded again.

"Let's go to our room, I wanna play dollies." LP chirped.

Miracle followed LP, smiling. LP went to their room first, opened the door and went to get their dolls out to play. Miracle giggled. LP put a sock on the doorknob, a method she heard from Columbia to assure to not disturb them and shut the door as she went to sit with Miracle and play with the dollies. What they didn't know was that as they left, the transmit beam was still open and someone came out of it.
