Haunted
Kate and Tony's genius son and daughter, Stefan and Fiorella, create a time machine. But something goes horribly wrong and they end up in 2006, in a world where Kate died.
Epilogue:
It was near the end of the day and Fiorella and Stefan were dreading the return of their parents, and in turn, the return of the fighting.
The drive home was one in silence, only occasionally broken by Maria babbling (she didn't seem to be affected at all by the Time Travelling, or have forgotten it completely), which they found very useful for discovering things about this life that was different.
"A dog," Fiorella muttered to Stefan. "I can't believe we have a dog called Coco-Rastus,"
Maria kept babbling. "Maria, sta'zitta," Stefan said eventually.
Maria looked at them in confusion. "What does that mean? And why are you calling me Maria? Are you angry at me? Daddy! Stefan's annoying me!"
Tony turned around. "Stefan, don't swear, and stop winding up Gabby. You know she doesn't like to be called Maria."
So Tony was Dad instead of Papa, Maria was actually letting them call her Gabby, and she apparently didn't speak Italian anymore.
"Cosa fai, Gabby?" Stefan asked, testing.
"Daddy! Stefan's speaking in weird languages and annoying me again! Daddy!"
"Stefan, please, stop annoying your sister. Honestly, what's gotten into you today? You and Ella have been acting very strange, haven't they sweetie?" Halfway through his sentence he directed his sentence to Kate rather than Stefan.
Kate nodded, keeping her eyes on the road while she spoke to them. "Is there something wrong, Ella, Stefan?"
Stefan and Fiorella looked at each other in astonishment – no arguing? "No, Mom," they chorused simultaneously. "Everything's fine."
"Good," Kate smiled. "Now I want you two to be good tomorrow when Uncle Jethro and Aunt Abby bring Melody and Charisma around to play with Gabby. I know you don't like looking after them, but it won't kill you to give us adults a break for once."
'Charisma?' Fiorella mouthed at Stefan.
Stefan shrugged. 'Another cousin, maybe?' he mouthed back.
Neither really cared anyway. They were glad that everything had turned out so well when they had been on the edge of a disaster.
