To their surprise, the Beatles were back in their flat. "Wow, that was some adventure huh guys?. I wonder what was going on while we were away."

"Well uh-" John started speaking before seeing that his son, Julian, was there but like a young adult now who was rummaging through stuff.

They just stared at each other before Julian started to speak. "Um, uh, dad? It's been like, 12 years! Where were you? Why'd you abandon me!?" He asked, rightfully mad.

"J.. Jules?. Is that you?"

"Twelve years?. I didn't think it was that long we were away." Ringo thought. "Time must have passed by much quicker than in all the other worlds we were in.."

"What are you talking about? You were gone for so long you must have lost a few screws in your head!" Julian grunted.

"Look Jules.. We're from the past, when we left it was 1964, we need to get back to our time."

"Don't try and back out of this! You're the one who left, you're not leaving me again!" Julian shouted, for he was an emotionally broken man at this point. He grabbed onto John, holding him close to not allow him to escape.

"Julian, let go of John." Paul said.

"No." Julian grabbed onto his father tighter. "I won't lose him this time! Grr, saying you're from the past, you could have come up with a better excuse than that!!"

"Well.. If we really were from your time, we wouldn't look the same age as when we left would we?" George asked.

"Gr... I still don't want to lose my dad."

"Jules please.. We don't belong in this time period, if I go back to my own time I promise I'll make sure my future self doesn't leave you." John mumbled, he tried to reason with his future son as best as he could.

"How.. How can you tell me this?. How do you know you won't abandon me all over again?"

"Because I won't." John said.

"Tsk, that's what you said when I asked how you wouldn't just leave me after getting cigarette and here we fucking are!" Julian said through gritted teeth, wrapping his legs around John's body to secure him closer to him.

"Jules, you just need to trust me, I'll constantly be thinking of you to make sure my future self spends more time with you." John pleaded. "But I'm from twelve years in the past, and if I stay here any longer it'll affect the past."

"What? Sean wouldn't be my half brother? Good! He didn't deserve the attention you should have been giving to me!" Julian snapped, still not letting go.

"Yoko?. But I'm married to Cynthia! Why would I leave her for someone else?" John asked.

"You left us for her, she kept sending you all these cryptid letters and weird gifts, and wouldn't stop standing outside the house for you. Had to change phone numbers three times just to get her to stop calling you."

"Oh, she's a stalker?"

"Yeah and she threatened to kill herself and with that, you went with her and had Sean. "

Just then, the door opened to show Sean, who was panicking. "JULIAN!!! My hand is disappearing!" The younger sibling shouted, not even noticing John was there.

"Sean.. Dad's in the present, which means I don't have to deal with ya anymore." Julian grumbled.

"Why do you hate him so much Jules?. He's just a kid."

"Dad!! You can't let me just vanish like this! I had so much fun getting into music and then I got too meet Julian and-"

"Alright, we need to get back to our time now.. We can't let anything else change. But these scissors only take us to different dimensions, we need a time warping pair." Paul muttered.

"I might have something to help both of us-"

"No! Dad can't leave me again!"

"Jules, you should listen to him.. If he stays any longer you might disappear too."

"If it means Dad won't go, it's worth it.."

"Julian.. It'll be okay."

"I'm not okay, I'm not stable, I couldn't go to the doctor for help cause I was worried about how he'd see my mind, since this society doesn't like emotional men." Julian sighed, loosening his grip on John.

"Jules.. Things will get better. I promise you. Once I get back to my time, the future John will help you out, he will be sure you and Sean live happy lives." John promised him. "I'll be sure of it."

"And we'll always remind him to think of you and prevent all this from happening." Paul added.

"We're your family too Jules. You will get the help you need very soon."

"But.. What about me?" Sean asked. "I don't want to fade from existence."

"Well.. Cyn and I will have another boy then, we'll name him Sean. You can still be here then, just with a different mother."

"I.. Alright Dad.. But you better keep that promise.. Go, but remember what you said."

"I always keep my word." John smiled, kissing his forehead and following Sean down to the garage.

"I have a car I've been tinkering out of boredom. Uh, it might time travel." Sean said.

"Has it been tested?"

"Uh, yeah, it traveled a few seconds into the past, so it might work."

"Well, there's no other option, so let's use it."

"Will you really help Jules in the past?"

"I promised him I will, the sooner we get back the better. I got a son to care for!" John declared, setting the date to 1964. "Time to go home."

"Well, see you." Sean said as John and the others got into the car and traveled to 1964.

They somehow survived and John rushed off to have quick sex with his with his wife to have Sean and be a better father. "Well, uh, what now?" Ringo asked.

"I don't know, I ain't having kids yet..." Paul said.

"Aw. The scissors broke. Where did you find these anyways, Ringo?" George muttered, holding the melted plastic that was once the dimension hoppers.

"Oh some guy across the street was telling me about wares with special powers! I'll go see if he has any more of them!" Ringo grinned, off to get another pair.

"Another pair?"

"Just in case anyone requests another AU we should go to."

Paul and George just stood there for a bit, before the eerily bisexual silence filled the room, though neither Beatle could admit it, since it was illegal, they both wanted to smash lips together. Why? I don't know, plot connivance of a Beatles slash writer?

But as no one was in sight, Paul took George's hand and led him to his room. "Boy.. That was some crazy adventure, but I'm so glad to finally be home." Paul smiled, laying next to the younger man.

"You said it, now it's time to kick back and catch some Zs before we go on another one."

"Yknow, since we're in my bedroom, maybe we could sleep- I mean lay next to each other in bed and sleep." Paul said, trying not to sound suggestive.

"I'd like that." George smiled softly. "So, uh, big spoon or little spoon."

"Oh, I'm a small spoon. Wait, are we going to be cuddling?" Paul asked, a look of questioning in his doe eyes.

"We can if you like. I loved cuddling you back in our teen years, on the road, hitchhiking to Blackpool." George suggested, snuggling up close to his new boyfriend.

"Aw, love you too Georgie. Sleep well."
