Set after the series finale and I guess after Hal's nice and detoxed.

They don't talk about it. Like how Annie didn't talk about Nina or George or Mitchell. Or how Hal doesn't really talk about Leo or Pearl.

It's weeks before any of them venture into the attic. And in the end it's Alex who ends up dismantling the crib and taking down the crosses. Tom wouldn't go anywhere near the thing and Hal had just stared at it for a moment before running a hand through his hair and mumbling about having to do another round of push-ups.

Sometimes Hal forgets, he had almost asked Tom whose turn it was to watch baby Eve. He had almost yelled for Annie when he discovered they were out of tea. It isn't that he doesn't remember what had occurred…what Annie had done for them. For humanity. He could never forget that in the end it was Annie who had saved them all. It was just that sometimes, well, sometimes he didn't want it to be true. Part of him didn't want it to be true because of Tom.

Tom had lost McNair and Annie had taken him in and he had lost her too. She'd been like a mother to him. Tried to keep him out of trouble, made sure he did his chores, made him tea, cooked him dinner. Scolded him like no one else ever had. And little baby Eve. He'd spent so much time trying to protect her, little good that did. It wasn't fair. He likes Alex, he likes her a lot. But it isn't the same and he's afraid that one day Alex and Hal will go too. Just like McNair. Just like Annie and Eve.

There was a ghost that had lived in the house. And a vampire and two werewolves. Then there was a ghost and a werewolf and a baby and a vampire. And now there was a ghost and a werewolf and a vampire. She feels like usurper. She doesn't press them for anything, as much as she wants to know more about Annie and how she came to be. How she ended up with the baby. What had happened to the others before them. Alex knows that the reason they don't mention it, ever, is because even though Honolulu Heights is no longer haunted by a ghost named Annie, it's haunted by memories.
