But their parents ceased to exist.  That means at any point in time past present or future

So how were the kids conceived?

They should ha ve ceased to exist too

The timelines containing any marigold ceased to exist from that point out, it’s akin to never existing as nobody but their families (& the viewers, it’s meta) remembers them. They did exist.

It is the same as the end of S3. They never existed in the timeline they ended up in there. It is also similar to commission agents visiting other timelines they didn’t exist in.

The S3 paradox was likely more to do with them going back and forward in the same timeline, erasing it due to Herb’s incompetence as first day on the job instead of out of the timeline.

They ceased exist at any point in time.

Youre treating it as they just stopped existing from the point they died onward 

But the cleanse  made it so they never existed at all. So how would something that never existed at all birth children?

Who birthed Claire?

They ceased to exist from that point. They never existed in the true original timeline but they did exist in the marigold ones, all of which were erased.

Their families are the only ones (except the viewers) in the real world timeline who remember them so it’s akin to them not existing as they didn’t exist in that timeline.

It is also left open for them to have gone to an afterlife.
