********************************************************************************

      It was a sunny Sunday afternoon, very rare in Seattle. The restaurant was closed for the day and Alexis was up in her home waiting for Gunn to bring Evie because she was going to watch her while Gunn ran some errands. Gunn's wife died giving birth to Evie. Evie's two years old she doesn't know anything about her mom only things she's heard and pictures she's seen of her. Alexis was sitting on the balcony enjoying the air and reading a book something she rarely got to do these days.

      About a half hour later there was a knock at the door and when Alexis went inside and opened it standing there was Gunn and Evie.

Alexis: Hey.

Gunn: Hey. Thanks again Lex for doing this.

Alexis: Ya no prob you know I love Evie.

Gunn (giving a kiss to Evie): Ok you be good and listen to Alexis.

Evie: K. Daddy.

Gunn: Love you baby girl.

Evie: Love you too daddy.

      When Gunn left Alexis closed the door and bent down to meet Evie eye to eye.

Alexis: So Evie what do you wanna go do today?

Evie: Can we go to the park please?

Alexis (smiles): Sure we can, then maybe later we can get some lunch. Would you like that?

Evie (smiling): Ya, ya!

Alexis: Ok let me get my coat.

      With that said Alexis grabbed her coat and they headed out the door, into Alexis's Sport Wrangler Jeep, and drove off to the park.

********************************************************************************

*****Park*****

      At the park Logan, Max, Original Cindy, Bling, and Alec were all having a picnic together since it was such a nice afternoon. When Alexis parked the car Evie literally jumped out of the jeep and ran to the swings and unfortunately to get to the swings you had to pass Logan. I mean you didn't have to go right near him but it was kind of hard not to see him. As Evie was running Alexis yelled...

Alexis: Slow down Evie. You'll fall and hurt yourself.

Evie (reaching the swings and yelling): Hurry Alexis!

      As Alexis was walking to the swings she really wasn't paying attention to anyone or anything so she walked right passed Logan without a single glance, but they all noticed her. To Logan it was his sister, to Max it was Logan's sister, to Alec it was the girl he got laid with last night, to Original Cindy it was someone she delivered a package to a couple weeks ago, and to Bling it was just a stranger. No one realized the pain in Logan's eyes except for Max so she squeezed his hand for a little reassurance and he looked at her and gave her a small smile. Alexis went and started to push Evie on the swings as Evie yelled with laughter...

Evie: Faster Alexis! Faster!

Alexis (smiling and joking): Ok but I'm next.

      While Alexis was pushing Evie she was remembering all the times her and Sebastian would come to the park just to be together. The sad thing was that the cemetery Sebastian was buried at was right across the street from the park. So this place held a lot of good memories but also the sad ones that she really didn't want to deal with right now. About an hour later Evie wanted to go play in the sandbox so they walked across the park and Evie ran to the sandbox while Alexis sat on a bench and watched her.

********************************************************************************

      Alec, Max, Logan, Bling, and Original Cindy were talking, eating, and just having a good time. Alexis had seen them when she and Evie walked to the sandbox. She knew she had to deal with the whole Logan situation, so she figured this was as good a time as any. She started to walk over there but making sure she kept an eye on Evie.

Alexis: Hi.

Logan (the first to speak): Hi. (Doing the right thing and introducing everyone.) Alexis this is Cindy, Bling, Alec, and I'm sure you remember Max. Guys this is Alexis...my sister.

Everyone clearly stunned except for Max.

Alexis (not caring others were around, she just wanted to get it off her chest): Ok Logan before you say anything I need to get this all out. When you told me you were my brother I was happy cuz I felt after all this time I had someone, a link to the life I never knew. I was mad cuz I finally had my priorities straight, everything was going good, then you came along and told me you were my brother and I thought great something else to get me screwed up. But most of all (tears in her eyes) I was sad cuz I tend to lose the people I love and I couldn't go through that again. All that pain and heartache, the darkness I couldn't go there again. I guess in a way I've always been angry at the fact that I was given up for adoption and I ended up in a horrible family who treated me like a worthless piece of trash and I always thought what did I do to deserve this? The only people that ever loved me were my nana and my boyfriend, and they're both dead. My adoptive parents are dead but that's not as big a tragedy, trust me. Logan, I'm sorry for the way I treated you, I wanna start off on a clean slate, and I'm ready to deal with this whole situation.

Logan: I am glad to hear that. (Going and giving her a hug and her returning it.) I promise you'll never lose me.

Alexis: Thank you.

Logan (pulling away): Would you like to join us? 

But being interrupted by Evie.

Evie: Can we go eat lunch now?

Alexis: Sure Evie but can you give me five minutes?

Evie: Ok.

Alexis: Ok Logan I gotta go but come by the restaurant and we can catch up on lost time. K?

Logan: Ok but one question, is that *your* little girl?

Alexis: No she's my friends daughter I'm just doing him a favor. But I love her like she's mine. Her mother died two years ago while giving birth to her.

Logan: Ok.

Phone ringing it was Alexis's cell.

Alexis: Hello?

Gunn: It's, me. Where are you guys?

Alexis: Park. Why?

Gunn: I'm done; I wanted to come pick her up.

Alexis: Ok. Um can you do me a favor first?

Gunn: Sure.

Alexis: Stop by the corner flower shop and pick up a bouquet of white roses.

Gunn: Ok. I'll see you in a few.

Alexis: Thanks bye.

Gunn: You're welcome. Bye.

***************************************************************************

Evie: Alexis are we gonna go yet?

Alexis (bending down to her level): Actually we can't.

Evie (sad face): Why?

Alexis: Cuz that was your dad on the phone, he's done so he's coming to pick you up. But I promise tomorrow we can have lunch together down at the restaurant.

Evie (hugging her): Ok Alexis!

      Ten minutes later Gunn showed up, took Evie by the hand, gave Alexis the roses and left. Alexis thanked him, after he left she said good bye to Logan and his friends. She crossed the street and went to the cemetery; deep in the heart of the cemetery was where Sebastian was buried. When she walked over to his grave site on his tombstone was a picture of him when he was sixteen years old and underneath it, it had his name: Sebastian Isaac Quartermain, his birth year to death year: 2000-2016, it also said loving son, brother, and boyfriend. Alexis put the roses on his grave, white roses were always his favorite, and she knelt down and just poured out what was on her mind.

      "God Sebastian where did we go wrong? I mean everything was going so good for us...if only I told you...then maybe you would be here with me." "Last night I found out I have a brother, I admit at first I didn't take it so well but today I made things better cuz I knew I couldn't leave things like that. God I'm so scared though I don't wanna lose him like I lost you. Please Seb watch over him for me, protect him when I can't."

      "You are so not gonna wanna hear this but  last night after I found out, I was not myself so I went out to a bar called Crash and had a few beers with this guy named Alec. Then the next thing I know we're sleeping together but today I find he's friends with my brother. The worst part about this is that I think I might be falling in love with him, cuz last night he made me laugh and it wasn't the beer and no guy has made me laugh the way he did since you." "It's hard to move on...To let go of you a part of me will always love you and no one can ever reach that spot.....never, but Alec, he doesn't strike me as the one woman type of guy." "I gotta go the sun is gonna go down in a bit and I have to go see Wyatt before I go patrolling, I love you."

      With that she left, got in the jeep and headed to Wyatt's to see if he could figure out what the drawings meant.

********************************************************************************

*****Back @ the cemetery*****

      Someone crept out of the shadows, and surprise, surprise it was Alec. He had heard everything Alexis had said. He didn't know how to deal with this I mean it's not like they taught "love 101" back at Manticore. As he was walking back to the park he thought //what the hell am I suppose to do? I mean I don't know how to love someone. But the part that gets me is that I think I may be falling for her too and that scares me and nothing has ever scared me...except this. //

********************************************************************************

*****Later that night*****

      Alexis was walking down the street like a normal person, you wouldn't have guessed she was patrolling for vampires. A couple hours earlier she had stopped by at Wyatt's and given him the drawings he told her he would give her a heads up if he figured out anything. Alexis walked some more then got surrounded by a group of vamps, their couldn't have been more then six after years of training she could take about eight by herself.

Vampire (sickly smile on his face): How bout we have some dinner?

Alexis: No, it's ok I'm really not that hungry.

Vampire: That's ok; you really don't need to eat.

Alexis (taking out a stake): You know what you really shouldn't eat late you could get heartburn. (Staking him.)

      She then started to majorly kick ass, after she staked like three more her cell rang and while fighting with one hand and using the other to answer the phone...

Alexis: Talk and talk fast!

Wyatt: Alexis, I found something.

Alexis: Let me call you back.

      She hung up and continued to fight after she staked the two vampires; she made another sweep of the sector and remembered to call Wyatt.

Alexis: Wyatt you had something?

Wyatt: Yes I did some research and found out...

Alexis: What did you find?

Wyatt: Alexis the pouch of blood means...it means...blood means eternity.
