A/N: Alright, I said I wasn't publishing this until Monday-I lied. Gracie- I know what you want out of this story.just give me a few more chapters and a little magic, and it might just happen ;) Everyone, Enjoy! Oh yeah, I'm trying to write a story to follow 'The Gift'.if I had my way I'd have someone stake Annette-cause she's just creepy.
Alison stopped her run and put her head down. It was mid-December and so far everything was going well. All the worries she had at Thanksgiving were gone. Nobody else had figured out who she was or what her mission was. She had even dyed her hair a nice brunette color in order to stop wearing that darn wig. She looked up trying to decide where to go next. She took a left at the next path and started running again.
"Hello again," she said opening the door. Wow it was musty in here. She hadn't been in here for thirteen years. Not physically anyways. She had visited Rafe here twice and Angel once. She grabbed a blanket and threw it on the hay pile and sat down. Pulling out her notepad from her back pocket she started to review notes. She jumped when she heard the door opening.
"Hey," Rafe said smiling at her.
"Hey, what's up?" she said putting the notepad back. She had hoped not to see him here. So far they had been good, nothing more than a kiss on the cheek and hugs.
"I wanted to come and think here. I usually come here when I want to talk to you about something, but you know that, right?" he said, shining that smile at her.
She felt her heartbeat starting to go up. This couldn't happen. She had to leave now before something happened. "Well, I'll let you go," she said getting up and walking to the door.
"Don't do this, Alison," he said grabbing her by the arm.
"Don't do what?"
"Don't leave and act like you feel nothing. I know that's what you've been doing lately. Whenever we get near each other you find something to do, or somehow Jack or Jamal shows up. This time it's just me and you, in our special place."
"Where all dreams come true," she said smiling thinking back to a life that seemed like centuries ago. "I've got to go Rafe. I have a feeling my mission is going to go full blown soon, and need to be ready."
He looked at her. Why was she doing this? Why was she pushing him away? "You know, I still can't look at you as a brunette."
"It won't be blonde again until I go back up there," she said looking upwards. He moved her head down to his, taking a look in those blue eyes that danced when she laughed. He had wanted to do this for thirteen years and more so the last 3 weeks she had been here. He took his mouth and put it to hers. "Rafe, stop!" she said pulling away.
"But you are so beautiful," he said touching her face. "I want you so bad."
"If you want someone like that then go see your wife!" she said storming outside. It was beginning to snow, as she ran back to town.

"Jack! Reese! Open up!" she yelled, banging on the door. She had just ran all the way from the barn, and somehow ended up here. Between the tears and the cold wind blowing on her face she couldn't feel her cheeks or her nose.
"Alison," Jack said grabbing his friend and bringing her in. "Reese, bring me a blanket," he said sitting her down in front of the fire.
"I hope Maxie's not here," she said through chattering teeth.
"No, she and Angel are out shopping. Let me get you some hot chocolate to drink."
Reese came in from the bedroom with a blanket. "What happened?" she said putting the blanket around her sister and sitting on the sofa.
"It was Rafe. I went to the barn by myself to read over some notes, and he came by. I decided to leave and he pulled me in for a kiss. I can't do this anymore. I'm going to ask to go back up tonight."
"No, don't leave, Alison," Jack said coming over and handing her a cup. "You've got a mission to do, and it's not over yet. Just keep going for a little bit more."
"I just wish I didn't have to keep avoiding Rafe," she said taking a sip and sighing. "I still love him, but right now I need to focus on what I've got to do."
"He loves you too," Reese said patting her sister's leg.
"I know that. I wanted to say thank you to you both for everything you've done over the past thirteen years. You helped him and the kids out more than I could have ever imagined."
"Anything for you," Jack said with a smile.

She was happy that Jack and Reese had talked her out of leaving town just yet. Reese gave her a jacket to borrow for the walk back to the hotel. She took a detour though, and headed over to the house. It wasn't her house anymore, but it was still the last place she had been before she died. She knocked on the door, looking at the snow falling to the ground. She loved this time of year she thought as the door opened.
"Hey," he said smiling at her.
"Hi, can I come in?"
"Sure. That jacket looks familiar," he said taking a seat on the couch.
"It's Reese's. I ran all the way from the barn to her and Jack's house. When I got there I was freezing, she gave it to me to walk back to the hotel with." She sat down also, leaving space in between them. "Rafe, I wanted to tell you I do still love you, and what almost happened in that barn I wanted so bad."
"I know. I also know that you are doing a mission right now, and I'm pretty sure breaking me and Jesse up isn't part of the mission," he said smiling.
"So you understand that that can never happen again?"
"It's just so hard." At that moment he was wanting to give in to temptation. He wanted to go and love her, taste her skin on his lips, have the smell of her hair overpower his senses as they made love.
"Anyways, I guess I will go. I just wanted to come by for a minute and tell you that." She got up to leave, and he grabbed her hand. He gave in to temptation and pulled her onto him. He started kissing her lips, and then her neck. She wasn't able to do anything, as she had missed this so much. Thirteen years apart and they both knew what to do to make each other lose control. They leaned down on the couch, him kissing her neck, and starting to go for her shoulder. He started to pull up the shirt she was wearing, savoring each taste of her skin on his lips.
They were so into each other they never heard the car pull in the driveway or the footsteps to the front door. They did hear the front door open, and he looked up to see Jesse standing there. She couldn't say anything, just stood in horror at her husband being unfaithful.
"Jesse, wait!" he yelled running out the door without a shirt on. Alison just laid there with her hands covering her face. What had she just done, and how long until Ed snatched her back up to Heaven?
