A/N: I know, I know, I've seen lots of stories kinda like this, where Alan has a girl, but I totally made this up one night, and thought, 'I might as well write it down.' Please review! I feed on reviews!

Alan Grant, with the help of Ellie Degler, adopts a child who's parents were killed on Isla Sorna. 16 Years later, he finds out the girl, Amie, has gone back to Isla Sorna to find out the truth about her parents.


Amie turned around and was almost face to face with a very large dinosaur.

"Spinosuarus," she breathed. "How did it sneak up on us?"

"It has a certain way of walking where is balances all of its weight," Henry said. "It takes longer time to get to its destination, but it's virtually soundless."

The Spino let out a roar and took a step towards them.

"Then again, it could have been here the whole time. RUN!" Henry yelled.

Amie didn't need to be told twice. She made her way to the compound, her legs getting tired. She had never run so fast. The spino was catching up. He made a swipe at Amie's feet, but missed. Amie let out a shriek, but continued to run.

She hadn't noticed Henry lag behind until she heard a ear piercing yell. Even though her instincts were telling her otherwise, Amie stopped running and turned. Henry was pinned underneath the spino's foot.

"Run! Amie go, I can't keep him here forever!" Henry yelled.

Amie's heart raced. The large head went toward Henry. Amie screamed again and turned and ran. She placed her hands over her ears, but that didn't stop the sound of Henry being devoured from seeping through her fingers.


Alan ran to the front door and was about to burst through when someone grabbed his arm. He expected it to be Ian, but instead it was a nerdy looking guy.

"You can't just leave. You have to have back up," the man said, and then produced a gun.

Alan took the gun and nodded his thanks. He then ran out the doors and followed the sound of the dinosaur.


Amie continued to run. She didn't know where she was going; only that she was getting away from the spino. Her heart almost stopped when she ran into something. Her eyes closed as she flailed her arms, trying to get the creature to let her go.

"Amie! Amie, stop, it's me!"

Amie froze and opened her eyes. "Dad?" she asked, looking up. She met her father's eyes and sank into his arms. "I'm so sorry!" she sobbed.

"Shh, it's okay. Honey, it's okay. Let's get back to the compound," her dad whispered.

Amie nodded, and they made their way to the compound.


Ian watched as Alan lumbered back into view, Amie walking along with him. He let out a breath he hadn't known he was holding and his shoulder's sagged. She was safe!

"I'm glad to see she is okay," Farley said, walking up behind Ian.

Ian nodded. "Yeah," he said.

"To tell you the truth, I'm rather surprised that she did, being alone for awhile. You know?" Farley said, turning to Ian.

Ian shrugged. "She's a Grant," he told the scientist simply.

Just then, the doctor walked over. "Mr. Yuri is out of surgery. He'll be fine," he informed the two men. Both men were relieved.

The doctor walked over to the window and saw that Amie and Alan had almost reached the two doors.

"Doc, when they come in, you'll look at the girl?" Ian asked, though everyone around him knew that he was just commanding the doctor. Nicely.

The doctor nodded. "Yeah, of course."

And then Amie walked through the door. The doctor hustled over there and began to examine her. She was too tired to protest, so she just let the doctor make sure nothing was wrong with her.

Alan moved over to Ian and Farley to avoid being looked over by the doctor.

"She made it," Farley said, not knowing anything else to say to Grant.

Alan nodded. "Yup."

Farley nodded as well. It became quiet and awkward between them until Amie walked over.

"A few scratches and that gash on my arm, but that was it," she informed them. She suddenly had a thought. "Dad, why don't you call Ellie and tell her we're all fine. I bet she's worried sick."

Alan winced. "I need to get Billy a new boat," he said.

Ian laughed. "You know what I say," he started, but from the look of both Alan and Amie, he didn't finish his sentence.

A large man walked up to Farley. "You finished with the computers?" he asked.

Farley nodded. "Yup, just got done."

The man looked at Farley, then at Alan and Amie, then to Ian, then back at Farley. "What a coincidence that it took you the same amount of time to get the Intel as it did for everyone to make it back here."

Farley placed his chin on his palm and said, "What a coincidence!" He finished the statement by shaking his head.

Ian laughed and gave Farley a look. Alan and Amie glanced at each other. They didn't know for sure what had gone on, but they had a pretty good idea of what went on.

"Dr. Farley, Dr. Malcolm, Dr. Grant, and, uh, you," a man said, walking up to the three men and Amie. "Our copters have been called. They'll be here in a short amount of time. If you'll come wait over here." The man motioned to what looked like a waiting room.

While they were waiting, Amie fell asleep. Alan took his, or Billy's, satellite phone and called Ellie's cell.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Elle, it's," Alan started.

"Alan! You're okay! How is Amie?"

Alan laughed. "I'm fine, Amie is fine too."

There was a struggle on the other side of the phone, and Alan grew worried until he heard, "Dr. Grant, please, hand to phone to Ian."

Alan laughed and handed it to Ian. Ian looked a little worried as he said, "hello?"

There was a pause, and he winced. "Yeah, I know, I know, but I-" he was cut short.

"It wasn't my fault! It wasn't like I wanted to go back there!" Another pause. "Oh, and I broke my leg." He winced again. "Yes. Again. Yeah, it was them. I, uh, I don't know! They won't leave me alone!" Ian sighed. "Okay, see you later." He handed the phone back to Alan.

"Alan. I am really disappointed you didn't have enough faith in me to tell me about this." That was from Billy.

"Billy, I know, it's just, I had to leave as soon as possible, and telling you would take more time," Alan tried to explain.


Amie had woken up when the phone had been handed to Ian. Watching him talk to his girlfriend was certainly entertaining. She yawned as her dad hung up.

"Hey there, sleepy head," Alan said, looking at Amie. Amie smiled. "We're leaving soon, don't worry."

Amie nodded and yawned again, but the sound was drowned out the whirling of helicopter blades.

"Come on, doctors. It's time to go," a man yelled.

Everyone got up and made their way to the copters.


Okay, we have the epilogue left. So sad! Don't worry though, I am planning on eventually writing a sequel to this that concerns Amie, and possibly Alan, Ellie, Sarah and Ian. I'm also writing a sorta prequel on the rules Amie has to learn while living with Alan. But, I haven't technically started on that yet.

Please enjoy the last (besides the epilogue) chapter of Father's Gift!
