Father Nature defeated all three men easily as if they were nothing compared to his strength.

Which is kind of expected.

I mean they were going against Father Nature, what did they expect?

Of course their explanation is bizarre and you refuse to believe that you have a husband and Teddy is actually your biological son.

Like how?

You remember growing up with loving parents, going to school, and attending university.

And none of those memories include having a son, a husband and two friends.

Like, Cedar is not Cedar.

In your eyes, they are impersonators who should be locked up until cleared of wrongdoing.

A belief fostered by Father Nature's manipulative persuasion.

In your mind, these questions are all mixed up with each other, as if your memories are a puzzle with the pieces all out of place.

You can't help but wonder if there is something more to this than just an elaborate imposter  situation

You start to entertain the possibility that perhaps, just maybe, Father Nature is not who he says he is. Maybe he had something to do with this whole bizarre situation.

But that leads you to more questions, why was he surprised?

Maybe because he had nothing to do with the whole situation to begin with in the first place.

However, if Teddy is actually Sherif, then he is also an...imposter.

You stare at the child as he plays with his toys innocently.

No, your Teddy is sweet, a child can't be an imposter.

Adding to that isn't Nature the father and mother of Teddy, so...

Anyways, while being deep in thoughts and playing with your food as Teddy plays with his toys on the floor beside your table, Father Nature enters.

"I have good news and bad news" he announced.

"The good news is that I imprisoned the imposters and will be interrogating them"

"Ok, and the bad news?" you ask curiously.

"We won't be able to have our honeymoon"

You smile happily while Teddy makes sure to raise his voice slightly, so his father can hear his following words.

"Oh princess, I can't kidnap you"

"Good thing, evil doesn't always win, Mr.monster"

Father Nature lets out a small sigh and shakes his head slightly in resignation, as he's used to his son's antics.

Nature takes a seat at the table opposite you and places his hands on the table, leaning forward to better engage in the conversation.

He takes a deep breath, looking at you intently.

"I admit, I have been surprised by the developments, just as I'm sure you are," he says.

"But that's why we need to work together to get to the bottom of this strange occurrence."

He pauses for a moment, choosing his words carefully.

"Now, I understand you have questions. And I want to be completely clear with you, I don't always have the answers you seek."

He pauses again, giving you time to process his words.

"Do you think they are speaking the truth?"

That is the first question you decide to ask him.

"Do you believe them?" Nature asserts.

"No..." you reply, feeling hesitant

"Then they are a bunch of imposters"

Looking at Father Nature's face, you have a nagging feeling that he is withholding information from you.

"About Teddy..." you lower your voice as you speak.

Nature is quick to answer your doubts.

"Our son is not an imposter, I know it"

But in fact, Father Nature just lied.

Teddy is not his son.

But the child is the only thing keeping you two together. And just like how you treated Teddy as a son when you knew that he is his father.

He will do the same with Teddy, continue treating him like a son.

But If Teddy is Sherif, then where is his real son? And his other children?

You look over at Teddy, who is still playing with his toys, blissfully unaware of the situation. Despite the chaos going on around you, Teddy's innocence provides a sense of comfort and safety.

You take a deep breath and decide to focus on the task at hand.

You turn to Father Nature and ask, "So, what do you propose we do now?"

"The first step is to try and figure out what's going on here," he says.

"I have a few ideas, but we need to work together to get to the bottom of this."

"It's both of your faults, if you two didn't convince (Y/n) to time travel, I would have been living a happy peaceful life with her and our son"

"Admit it's a fun experience, it has always been Matteo, Me, and (Y/n), you should be grateful we included you."

Nadar glares at Aleksy, before looking down at the state he is in.

They are all tied up with ropes to prevent any type of escape while held captive in a small cold room.

"(Y/n) is in love with Father Nature or at least has Stockholm syndrome" Matteo informs.

"She is more sensible than that!" Nadar exclaims in anger.

Matteo shrugged, frowning.

"If so, why did she refuse to escape when she was offered the chance?"

Suddenly the door opens to reveal...

...You stand at the door as you stare at them.

You step further into the room and take a moment to assess the situation. You notice that the ropes tying the three men to their chairs are starting to cut into their skin.

"Let's have a talk," you say, allow yourself to get closer to them.

"I want to try to understand what's going on here."

"We already told you-" you cut Nadar off.

"Prove it to me"

Aleksy realizes what you want them to do and smirks.

"You really don't trust us"

Walking over one of the empty chairs in the room, you take a seat.

"In my eyes right now, all three of you are mad until proven sane"

Matteo exhales, displeased to repeat the whole story all over again.

"It all started with a time travel experiment"
