Aliens: TOS 3: Armageddon
Prologue
Ripley sat in a chair looking out a window staring at the peaceful meadow that surrounded her home. After returning to earth she and Hicks had gotten married and adopted both Newt and Jake. Jake who was now about to attend college was still at home and was currently playing with Newt outside while Bishop watched. Ripley smiled as she watched the two-play tag; she loved how Jake and Newt got along so well. Jake was very protective of Newt and had made an excellent big brother. Hudson and Vasquez were also spending the weekend at the house. The survivors of LV- 426 had decided to have a get together and Hicks was more then happy to have his two fellow marines spending the weekend.
"Well look what we got here" Ripley turned to see Hicks leaned against the door smiling at her with his arms folded across his chest. He approached her as she got up and the two kissed. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a hug.
"Looks like someone is missing out on the fun." Hicks said as he kissed the top of her head.
"I just felt like sitting here for a while" Ripley said in a sad tone.
Hicks was confused until he remembered the date, it was the 3rd of June the day that the Nostromo first landed on LV-426. Ripley would always get depressed on this day since the two years that the survivors had returned to earth. Hicks pulled his wife into a tight hug to comfort her.
"I know it's been years but I can't keep thinking about it." Ripley said as her eyes began to tear up. Hicks began to soothe her.
"I know it's hard but hey at least you'll always have Jake and Newt, and you'll always have me." He said as he kissed her neck, causing Ripley to laugh as the two stood their enjoying each other company watching their children play outside.
