A/N: Alright, I haven't got a lot of reviews from my past two stories, and I think it might be that because there's no Alison, so here she is. In case you have no idea what happened in L&F then I'll do a quick review: Alison died, and after some grieving time, and a little help from up above Rafe met and married Jesse-but his heart, as always, still belongs to Alison.

She walked along the river bank until she saw the silver reflected from the moonlight. She couldn't believe she was back. Thirteen years ago she would have given anything to be back, but now she wasn't sure. Everyone had gone on with their lives, and she was content enough with watching and protecting them from above. She remembered her conversation with him.
"I can't do it Ed. They have their own lives now."
"You have no choice, Alison. Besides, I remember a time when you would have given up anything for a trip back down."
"That was different, and you know that."
"I was told I needed someone to complete a mission, and you were the best person for the job."
"Why not Eve or Karen? They have family down there, they can do it."
"Not for this they can't."
She took a deep sigh, "You're going to make me go down there, aren't you?"
"You can do this, blondie. I know you can," he said with a smile.
She picked up her daughter's locket off the ground. Looking inside she saw the pictures had been ruined by the water. "I hope you're right, Ed," she said quietly as she stared up to the heavens.

She walked up to the window of the bike shop. Looking in she saw Jack and Jamal inside. When she got in town she had to make a decision on who to see first, and decided that these two would be the best bet. She was wearing a baseball cap with her hair pulled through, and sunglasses on. As she stepped inside she was taken back over twenty years ago, before vampires and angels, when life was simple.
"Hey Angel, what's up?" Jack said, noticing the blonde out of the corner of his eye. When she didn't say anything he actually looked up at her and his jaw dropped. That wasn't Angel. "Uhm, Jamal," he said trying to get his friend to come out from behind the bike he was working on.
"What's up man? Hey Angel," he said also. Jamal looked at Jack and saw the look on his face. He slowly followed his eyes to what Jack was looking at. "Spunky!" he said running over and picking her up off the ground. "How is this possible?"
"I have a mission to do here. I don't want to interfere in the lives you have now though. I came and saw you both first."
"So Rafe doesn't know you're here?" Jack said, coming over and giving a big hug to his sister-in-law.
"No, not yet. I want to know how you think I should go about by doing this."
"Well-"and they started talking and working out a plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
Jack drove her over to Rafe's work. They talked about how nervous she was, and that he had to know she was in town for a little while. They discussed how Jesse would handle this. They figured probably not well and the first person she would run to would be her sister.
She walked in and up to his desk, her disguise still on as before. "Hey Angel," he said thinking it was his daughter standing there. She looked so much like her mom now that she was older anyways that it was expected that he would say that.
"Hey yourself," she said, tears brimming up. She had waited thirteen years to walk back in his life, and couldn't help feel the way she did. Even though she was glad he was happy and married, they still were soul mates for life and beyond.
He looked up dumbfounded by the voice he just heard. That was not his daughter's voice and that was definitely not his daughter standing in front of him. "Ali-," he said nearly falling out of the chair as she began to laugh at him.
"Nice greeting. You always had problems with that chair," she said with her smile.
He got up and walked over and held her. "What happened? Why are you here?" he said pulling her back away, but keeping his hands on her shoulders. "Are you really here?"
"Yes, I'm really here. I've got a mission to do in Port Charles. I have two months to do it, and that's all I can tell you."
"Where will you stay?"
"I've got a hotel room to stay at. Oh, before I forget," she said taking the locket out of her pocket and handing it to him.
"Thanks," he said as he opened it up to see the pictures were ruined from being in the river. He placed it in his pants pocket, hoping to remember to give it Angel when she came home for Thanksgiving break.
"Well, I better get going," she said, flashing that smile as she headed out the door.
He sat back down at his work and ran his fingers through his hair. There was no way he was going to get this done. He grabbed his jacket off the chair and followed her.
