Don't have it then.

Going back to the old C+C days, this honestly, really, truly, should not be an issue for you, let alone any writer. So you wrote something that doesn't fit your current timeline. Well, you've been dealing with gods and time travellers regularly in your stories. You've already had at least one in-story instance where your characters were mucking around with multiple people's personal timelines for the sake of personal convenience (just to attend a wedding). Why couldn't it be done to make things more convenient for mortals and others attending Armageddon? Given some thought as to how to do it, you might be able to cover things in an offhand mention maybe a couple paragraphs long. ("thank goodness for time lords. Kate thinks we were only gone for 3 days, she likes the babysitter but wouldn't like us being gone for a month at all!" - a case of tell, not show)
