Author Notes: Well I haven't seen Angel for a while so this story will not be continued by myself. so I apologise to Angel in advance if this isn't what she was thinking of... Well here goes...


The Story:

For the next two years after Vyshida's death Sophia looked after her grandchildren in her own home. Marina had been painted in the same colour as her sister and everyone assumed they were identical twins.

Meanwhile Jaze spent his time doing his job and sitting listlessly at a table in his home. Doing the necessary of eating and drinking and sleeping but little else throughout the days.

Vyshida had been his soulmate. His reason for living and it had torn his heart in two when she had died. he didn't want to continue living without her but he knew he must because he had promised to his wife that he would. He didn't know his children and his children wouldn't have recognised him. He had cut off all contact with the other engines and coaches.

Finally he began to pull himself together, Two years, four months and eighteen days after the death. He got himself tidied up, cleared out the mounting rubbish in his home and repainted the walls. The next day he went to visit his mother.

Sophia was out when he appeared, doing some shopping with Angel. Marina had been left with a young observation coach babysitting her. Marina was the less animated of the two trainlets. She spent a lot of time asleep and seemed weary at times whereas Angel was a happy and bouncy trainlet. Angel had started to talk whereas Marina hadn't. Marina was almost as listless as Jaze had been.

He went round the back and let himself in, "Mother?" He called out as he walked into the living room to fnd the young coach, "Who are you?" he asked her, "I'm Ivory." She said softly looking at him, "You must be Jaze." She smiled a little.

Jaze looked down at the trainlet in the coach and saw the small trainlet and seeing the colouring assumed it was Angel, "Angel." he whispered softly walking over to the cot.

"That's Marina." Ivory told him with a quizzical dance.

Jaze looked at him with a frown, "Marina?" He remembered how Marina was, she had looked like Vyshida.. beautiul blue and silver with black trimmings, "Right, thanks." His frown deepened and he nodded to Ivory, "Thanks for looking after her, I'll be fine now." He said. The observation coach nodded and left with her bag.

Jaze reached down and picked up the trainlet in his arms, "Poor Marina what has my mother done now?" he sighed as she looked up at him, no recognition in her blue eyes. He held the trainlet in his arms, pacing on the living room floor.

When Sophia opened the floor she let out a surprised shriek, almost dropping the bouncy toddler and the shopping she was holding as she looked at her son holding the older of the twins.

Angel looked at him for a moment then let out a bouncy squeak and held her arms out to him. Sophia had told her about her daddy and shown her pictures so she recognised him even at her young age.

Jaze looked at the twin in his arms who lay quietly and unmoving in his arms to the twin his mother held, He then put Marina back in the cot and took Angel into his arms, hlding her tight for a moment. Then he put her into a small closed off area with the small toddlers toys in.

"What have you done to her?" He demanded of his mother as he regarded his elder daughter, "And what's.. wrong.. with her.. why is she so quiet and.." he looked up at his mother with fear in his eyes, surely he wasn't going to loose her.

Sophia dodged the first question, "She has an appointment at the repair shed in half an hour." She replied with a sigh, "I don't know what's wrong with her Jaze, She's so different to Angel. She's.. she's like you.. were.." She looked up at him, "Why don't you take her to the repair shed. There isn't long till her appointment."

Jaze glared for a moment, "Fine, then I want some answers and I'm taking my daughters home with me." He looked at her challenging her to say something silently.

Sophia, however, knew when to keep quiet but simply motioned to the clock. Jaze sighed as he picked Marina out of the cot and left, heading for the repair shed.
