Hey all you readers and Covenant-obssesed people! I present to you yet another story about Caleb's little sis who comes back to Ipswich. Let me just warn you that this is my first fanfic and I don't know if I'm following some plot. I'll be making it up as I go along, using stuff from the movie of course. Also, just so you know, Caleb and Sarah are together and so are Pogue and Kate. As for Reid and Lexi, I haven't decided if they'll end up together but there will be some major flirting. And Baby Boy's future is in the hands of the reader, but that will be decided later.
Disclaimer: I only wish I owned the Covenant, and sadly I don't. Such a cruel world! But I do own Lexi, and in the future maybe Reid as well =)
Alexa Danvers was relieved to be back at Ipswich. She had missed her family and felt that after years away, it was time to come back. With that in mind, she drove as fast a she could, wanting to see her brother. Caleb was the best brother she could ever hope for, and she had missed him terribly. Of course, being the sole young sister of Caleb Danvers meant that she had automatically gained three more brothers, otherwise known as the legendary Sons of Ipswich. There was Pogue, Caleb's right hand man and a real loyal friend. Next was Tyler, ever so charming 'Baby Boy' and Lexi's best friend. And last but not least, Reid Garwin. How can she even begin to describe Garwin? Oh yeah, the obnoxious rebel and troublemaker at Spence! Though most of their time spent together was bickering, Lexi had to admit Reid was fun to hang around and she loved his attention. Because she was thinking about Reid, Lexi barely heard her cellphone ring. Without taking her eyes off the road, Lexi grabbed it and saw that it was her mom.
"Hey mom, what's up?"
"Alexa, where are you? Your brother and I have been waiting for you to show up!"
"Mom I told you I'd be there, didn't I? Besides I had to stop, I was hungry". She replied annoyed at her mother's impatience.
"Mind your tone Alexa!". Lexi winced hearing her mother's stern tone. She certainly had not missed that. She sighed.
"Mom, I'll be right there. Besides, I'm not that far behind"
"Very well, and don't forget to call Caleb, he's waiting for you to call"
Uh-oh! "Why would he be waiting for my call?"
"Alexa I don't want to distract you while you're driving, just don't forget to call" said her mother, announcing the end to the conversation.
"Mom! Did you put him on babysitting duties?!" she asked, outraged. Why couldn't her mother just accept that she was all grown up?
"Sweetheart I have to go" And with that the connection was cut. She couldn't believe it! Her own mother cannot trust her to be alone. Now she was definitely pissed. So much, that she almost missed the exit to Nick's, where she saw the familiar four Sons everyone drooled after. She parked next to Tyler and cut the engine, fuming as she got out and made her way to them.

Caleb and the guys had decided to meet up at Nick's and unwind after a hard day at Spence. His mother had told him about Lexi's plan to come back and had stressed her wish of him protecting her. Something he didn't need a reminder of as he was glad to do so. He adores Lexi, and though they had kept in touch over the years, he simply couldn't wait until he saw her again. It had been too long since they saw each other and as the guys stood in front of Nick's talking and goofing off, Caleb relived the day Lexi was to leave Ipswich, years ago. Their mother thought it was best, seeing as how Caleb was next to ascend and they didn't want to risk Lexi. It was a hard time for all of them, even the Sons, who had accepted Lexi as one of their own and took it upon themselves to protect her. Though it was clear enough that Lexi could handle herself. She always had a strong personality and up to the moment, no one besides Reid could match her wit. Seeing her now, Caleb couldn't help but think that Lexi had changed. Sure her eyes stayed that deep hazel color and her hair was still black as night, falling into curls; yet she was so much taller now and gorgeous, not that she wasn't before. It was clear from the beginning that Lexi could turn heads, mostly the unwanted ones. Caleb could still recall a time when he caught fellow Son Reid staring at her. Knowing his friend, he was quick to tell him off, warning him never to look at her that way again. Reid assured he meant nothing by it, though that was not the reason Caleb lost his nerve. He had known about Lexi's crush on Reid, and didn't want to see her hurt. But it was clear to Caleb that Lexi didn't need protection, and she did what she wanted, when she wanted. He was so lost in his thoughts when Reid spoke to him.
"Dude, what;s wrong? Sarah got your tongue?" He smirked, causing the others to laugh.
"Yeah man, you've been pretty quiet" said Pogue, looking at his best friend.
"I was just thinking about Lexi" said Caleb, looking at the road, checking for any sign of his little sister.
"I'm sure she's just fine Caleb"
"Yeah Baby Boy is right. You know how she is, she probably got delayed by hunger" said Reid, remembering Lexi's addiction to food.
Caleb laughed along with Tyler. "Yeah you're probably right"
"And besides she's a big girl now, she can handle herself" argued Reid "Not to mention that with her attitude, who would want to mess with her?"
"Speaking about attitude, something pissed off this way comes" said Pogue, pointing at the fast Porsche headed their way.
"What's wrong with her? Thought she'd be happy to be back to good ol' Ipswich" said Reid, staring at Lexi.
Caleb sighed. "She must have figured out I'm on babysitting duty"
"WHAT?!" cried the others.
"That explains it, she looks like she could kill" observed Tyler, slightly amused.
"Not funny Simms" exclaimed Caleb, breathing deeply. He had hoped Lexi wouldn't make a big deal out of it. Obviously, he was wrong.
"She certainly grew up" said Reid, admiring how Lexi looked. Caleb had but a second to glare at the rebel before turning to face an angry Lexi.
"WHY?! Why did she do that Caleb?" cried Lexi, marching right in front of him, ignoring the other Sons.
"You know she's just looking out for you" he said, trying to soothe her. "And besides, is that any way to treat me after months apart?"
Lexi sighed, staring at him. Caleb was right and besides, it was not his fault. So she stepped closer, hugging her brother.
"That's more like it" said Pogue, smiling at the siblings.
"Aw shucks Parry, get over here" she smiled and made her way to hug Pogue.
"Now now, don't get soft on me Danvers" replied Pogue, while giving her a quick hug.
"Please, that'll never happen Parry" she laughed, turning to see Tyler she squealed "Baby Boy!!!!", running to his arms and hugging him tightly, "I missed you so much"
Tyler blushed and smiled, returning the hug. "Same here Little Lex". She smiled, hearing the nickname he had given her in the past.
"Careful there tiger or Caleb might think you missed Baby Boy more than you missed him." Lexi turned, searching for those baby blue eyes that haunted her dreams.
"What Danvers? Don't I get a hug?" He smirked, looking straight into her eyes. Lexi snapped out of her thoughts and quickly stepped into his embrace, relishing the moment she long awaited and dreamed of. It seemed like hours before Caleb cleared his throat and Lexi let go.
"I see you haven't changed Garwin" She said, watching his all-too familiar smirk appear.
"And why should I? I'm fine as I am" he answered, cocky as usual.
Lexi was about to say something when Caleb interrupted. "How about we go in? We have a lot to talk about."
"Caleb's right" said Pogue. "Besides, I want to hear all about what you have been doing these past few years."
"I'm sure she's still stirring trouble. Some things never change" Said Reid, walking inside Nick's.
"Why should they?" She smirked, entering the local bar besides Tyler followed closely by Pogue and Caleb.
Now, seeing as it is the first fanfic I write, bear with me the tiny errors in details, or big ones whatevs! I mostly write for myself, now that it is summer and I have nothing better to do than make up stories in my mind. This one came to me in a dream, most of them do. Anyways, updates will depend on my writing, which is slow and I'll accept any feedback, even if it's to say you love the Covenant...cause seriously who doesn't?!
Toodles, Mels!
