"Who was that on the phone?" Rafe asked looking up from his plate.
"That was Livvie. I have this silly confession to tell you. I thought you were cheating on me with that woman you had lunch with. I told Livvie and she went to confront her."
"She did what?" Rafe said. It was over he thought, Alison would be taken back up to Heaven soon.
"Yes, and she told me the truth. She said that she did know your friend, and that she was certain you two were just that-friends."
Rafe let out a sigh. He'd have to ask Alison what happened later. Just then he heard the door open. "Hi people," Angel said, pulling in a suitcase behind her.
"Well hello sweetie," Rafe said getting up to give her a hug.
"It's good to be back home," she smiled. "Too bad it's only Thanksgiving break."
"You'll be home for Christmas soon enough. Why don't you go put your stuff down and I'll get you a plate?"
"Sure dad."
He realized that a meeting was needed. He'd get Jack, Jamal, himself, and Livvie to meet at Alison's hotel room. The first thing they needed to do was decide to tell the children. It would be really hard to explain to them why their dead mother was around. The second was to tell Jesse or not. It seemed that Livvie was actually on their side and not tell her sister. He picked up the phone and went outside.
"Hello?" she said, trying to disguise her voice.
"Hey, it's me. Did Livvie really come by earlier?"
"Yeah. It's ok though, I trust her."
"Never thought I'd hear those words out of your mouth. Anyways, we need to have a meeting-tonight."
"Ok, who do you want to come over?"
"Jack and Jamal definitely. I guess we can see if Livvie wants to join us."
"Rafe, I want to see Reese. I want to give her a hug."
"Ok, she can come too. Let me talk with Angel for a bit and then I will be over. Can you call Jamal and Jack for me? I'll call Livvie in a minute."
"Ok. Give our girl a hug for me," she said hanging up the phone.

"Jack, will you please tell me why we are here at this hour?" Reese said standing in front of a hotel room. Jack hadn't said anything the whole drive over, just said he had a surprise for her.
"You will find out in just a second," he said knocking on the door.
"Jack, is that you?" Reese heard from the other side. The voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't figure it out.
"Yeah, it's me. Open up."
Alison opened the door and stood there. Reese looked the same, except her hair was now brown and longer. "Hi," she said as she was given a huge hug by her sister. "I'm glad to see you too."
"This is what you wanted me to see?" Reese said turning and facing Jack.
"Yeah, she came in town yesterday."
"So are you alive? Or are you an angel?" Reese said still shocked as she stared at her sister.
"I'm an angel on a mission," she laughed. "I'll be here two months." They sat down and started to talk, with Jack answering the door as Jamal came in.
"You know too?" Reese said, upset that she was the last to find out.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to see you so bad. I just had to get some other things done first," she said. As she finished a loud pounding came on the door.
Jack opened the door and Livvie came barging in, "Ok, let's get this done quick. Caleb has no idea where I went or why, and unless you want an angry vampire on your hands I say let's get this done quick."
"Hello Livvie. We're still waiting on Rafe," Jamal said sitting in a chair by the closet door. Within seconds a knock came, "Nevermind."
"Hey, sorry I'm late. Livvie, your sister is getting angry with me real quick."
"Yeah, well Caleb isn't too happy either."
"Ok, why don't we start with the first thing of business," he said leaning against the dresser, "We need to decide whether to tell the children of Alison or not. And I mean more than just Angel and Eddie. I'm talking about Maxie, Patrick, and the others."
"I say we keep it to the small number of people that already know," said Jack. "Who else knows that's not here?"
"Lucy. I went by and saw her after lunch. She said she would tell Ian, but that was it," Alison said not wanting to be known to the whole world.
"Ok, that's fine. Now can we get onto Caleb and Jesse?" Livvie said speaking up.
"I think Jesse knowing would just mess up her relationship with Rafe and the kids. I don't know about Caleb though. What do you think Livvie?"
"He's going to figure it out the first time he sees you."
"You didn't recognize me when you saw me with the wig on," she said grinning over at her.
"True, but I didn't see your eyes either. I just don't want him to get angry at me for keeping this from him."
"As long as you act like Rose Black is an old friend, and don't let on who she really is, it will be ok," said Rafe looking from one to the other.
"So is there anything else we need to do to help Alison out?" Reese said, taking her sister's hand.
"We've got to start calling her Rose and meeting where we don't look like we're up to something."
"How do you plan on doing that, wonderful slayer?" said Livvie with sarcasm.
"We can get together for Thanksgiving. Everyone, including you and Caleb. How does that sound?" Everyone shook heads.
"Ok, it's settled. We will see you later, Rose," Rafe said with a grin on his face. He went over and held the door open as they all walked out. Alison walked over and locked the door behind her. This could work, this could really work, she said smiling and going to lay down the bed.
