Hope, the 21st century time traveling granny continued to enjoy her life in both centuries, the 21st and the 19th centuries. But time was rapidly running out for her in the 21st century and she had some difficult decisions to make. Her love for Jost and John won out, she could no longer travel through what she called the time slip but became a permanent resident of the 19th century. Along with cutting off time travel, Hope was told by the beings that she would have the body of a normal 30 year old and she would age normally. So would her husband Jost. The implications of this statement didn't occur to her right off, but she soon was faced with the problems of a "normal" woman of that age. It never occurred to her she needed to take precautions. What an interesting problem Hope had to deal with! She couldn't accept her new lot, it was not something she wished to do. Jost was no happier with the little problem than Hope, at first. With most everything, little problems become big problems. Hope got to stay with her love, but at a price.
