Alison sat in Ed's office waiting for a report.
"What are you doing back already?" he asked walking in the room.
"I did my mission, I saved Jesse. What else was there to do?"
"Well, I was going to give you a month vacation, but if you don't want it that's fine."
"Are you serious?" she said smiling.
"Sure, why not. You really proved yourself down there blondie. You were able to keep your cool the whole time except the last day. And between you and me, that was supposed to happen," he said with a wink.
"You wanted me to sleep with Rafe?"
"I couldn't tell you that in the beginning though. If I had you would have jumped him the first night in the hotel room."
She blushed at the last comment, knowing that he was probably right, "Ok, so you want me to go back down and enjoy myself. Anything else?"
"Well, if you feel like it you can get Rafe, Jesse, Livvie, and Caleb to be nice to each other again."
She rolled her eyes at him. This was no vacation, this was making a miracle happen. "I'll see you in 5 weeks," she said, trying to force a smile.
--------------
She figured she'd start with what might be the easiest of the four to talk to. She walked in the entrance and saw him lying on the ground staring at the ceiling.
"Hey there," she said sitting down.
"Thought you'd been sent back up."
"They gave me a vacation," she said smiling at him.
"Imagine that. A vacation from eternal bliss," he said laughing.
"I remember the last time it was just me and you in this cave. We were hiding from Joshua."
"I don't feel like reminiscing right now, Alison."
"You're no fun."
"Well, you and lover boy ruined my fun tonight."
She ignored that comment. "I saved a life tonight. Do I get any credit for that?"
He sat up and looked at her. "Thank you for that. I honestly didn't want to bite Jesse. I guess I must have an angel on my side."
"You'll always have an angel on your side, Caleb-me."
"I can't believe you fooled me. That day at Lucy's, I looked in your eyes, but it wasn't your eyes I was looking at. If they had been I would have guessed it was you in a heartbeat. And that hair. Was that real or a wig?"
"It was a wig, and it itched like hell," she laughed.
"Well, you definitely deserve an Oscar for that performance. I bet you're glad to get to spend time with the kids."
"They don't know who I really am."
"I'm sure they do by now. Jesse was so angry when she left. I tried to talk to her, but she was scared of me."
"Well, I'm going to head on back to the hotel room. Hey, can you try and not be too angry with Livvie for lying to you?"
"I should be used to the lying by now, but it still gets me. Hey, you want me to walk you home? It is still snowing outside."
"I'll be ok. Angel's can't freeze or anything."
"Ok, see you later Alison."
"Bye Caleb," she said walking off. "One down, three to go"

She walked in to the dark hotel room and turned on the light. When she looked over to the bed she gave out a scream and then a deep sigh. He had fallen asleep on her bed. She walked over and gave him a gentle nudge, "Rafe, wake up."
"Mmm.Just five more minutes," he said rolling back over. She smiled at how cute he was sleeping. She leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek before going to take a shower. When she came back out a little bit later he had got under the covers. This isn't going to work, she thought as she went to lay down in the chair and ottoman. She found a blanket and curled up.
An hour or later, she felt him beside her, "Hey, Angel, wake up," he said picking her up and putting her in the bed.
"Rafe--," she said quietly.
"I should go home. The kids are probably worried sick," he said, getting her hair out of her face. He walked to the door and looked back at her lying there. Instead of walking out he went to the other side of the bed and crawled in next to her. He didn't fall asleep for hours, instead just laid there watching his angel sleep.
When he woke up in the morning she was laying across his chest. He just smiled, wanting to enjoy this feeling. He was tired of trying to hold back his love for her, and right now he didn't have a care in the world. She slowly opened her eyes, and realized where she was. "Rafe?" she said looking up at him.
"Morning, beautiful," he said kissing her on the top of her head.
"What happened last night?"
"Nothing. I was on my side of the bed and you were on yours. I woke up this morning and we were lying just like this."
"Ok," she said snuggling back into him. Ed said she was getting a vacation, and come hell or high water she was going to enjoy this vacation.
