A/N: Nat, I think you had your chapters confused-it should be this one that you enjoy immensely. ;) Enjoy everyone! (btw-I wrote the line in the last chapter about Alison deserving an Oscar BEFORE Brian went to B&B)

Angel walked in for breakfast seeing Jesse sitting at the table. "Morning, Jesse," she said getting a cup and the orange juice out of the fridge. "Is Dad not up yet?"
"I don't know where your father is. Why don't you go find your mother and ask her?"
"Excuse me? My mom is dead, and you know that," she said giving her an evil look.
"Room 1384, Port Charles Hotel," Jesse said going to the bedroom to get dressed and off to work.
Angel just stood there for a second. She figured it was worth a shot, as she finished her juice and went to get ready.
----------------
"So you think this is the right thing to do?" Alison asked talking from the bathroom. She was getting ready while Rafe sat on the bed waiting for her.
"Why not? What is so wrong with telling our kids you are here? They love you Alison, even without you around for most of their lives they love you."
"Thanks to you," she said, not hearing the knock at the door.
Rafe opened the door up, "Angel," he said to his daughter standing there. Alison thought he was talking to her and walked around the corner. "Did you say something, Rafe?" she said and then seeing her daughter standing in the door.
"Mom?" she said, unable to move from the door.
"Come in and sit down, Angel," said Rafe as he brought her in and had her sit on the bed. "You too, Alison." He looked at them staring at each other. They were identical, except for Angel having her father's hair color.
"Hi sweetie," Alison said putting her hand on her daughter's.
"Mom," she said again, going in for a hug. "You're here. You're really here."
"Yes, I am. Not for long, just a few weeks. Then I have to go back upstairs. Grandpa Ed's rules."
"Why didn't you meet us before though? How long have you been here?"
"Remember Rose?" she said smiling. She looked over and saw Rafe had pulled out that blasted wig.
"That was you? But, I looked in your eyes and they were green."
"Grandpa Ed again. We were trying to keep you kids out of the loop and Jesse and Caleb. Well, it's all messed up now, but hopefully will be back to normal soon."
"Normal in Port Charles? Don't make me laugh," Angel said with a grin.
"Well, why don't we go find your brother and go to lunch?" Rafe said, putting the wig down. He took Angel by one hand and Alison by the other and they pulled themselves up and got into a group hug. He had his two angels together, and that was the happiest thought he'd had in a long time.
--------------------------
They sat at the table at the Recovery Room laughing and eating. Alison was happy not to have to be hiding her identity anymore. Rafe was glad to get to see his kids smiling and for Alison to hear their voices and see how much they were like their parents. While they were eating Jack walked in. He smiled and came over and put his arms around Alison's neck for a hug. "I take it you are in a better mood today," he said with a laugh.
"Yep. This is my vacation. Yet, I do have to go do a few things," she said getting up from the table.
"What is that?" Rafe said, not knowing anything about this.
"I can't tell you. Jack, why don't you sit down and eat with them. I'll see everyone later on, ok?" she said going over and giving each of the kids a hug, and then looking at Rafe she leaned up and gave him a kiss.
"Call me when you get done," Rafe smiled as she left.
-------------------
She sat there on the bed crying. There was no way she could pull this off. Caleb had agreed to still be peaceful with Rafe, but Livvie wanted nothing to do with him now. How could she complete her mission when it wasn't worth it?
"Alison," she heard on the other side of the door.
"Go away!"
"Please open the door. I've been calling for hours, and you won't answer the phone. I want to know what's wrong."
She got up and went to the door. Her face was stained red from the tears, and at this moment she didn't want to talk to anyone.
"What happened?" he asked, as she went back and laid down on the bed.
"I'm failing this mission. I can't do it, Rafe. It's too impossible."
"I thought you said nothing was impossible. Want to tell me what your mission is? Maybe I can help," he said as he ran his hand down her arm, feeling her soft skin.
"I'm supposed to get you and Livvie as friends, Jesse to talk to Livvie, and you and Jesse back together. It'll never work."
"Hey, listen to me. I don't care if Livvie is my friend or not. As long as she's not going around turning people into vampires I don't care what she does. Also, I've realized something about me and Jesse. If we were to get back together she would always wonder if I was cheating on her. If I had to work late she'd think I was at dinner with someone else. If I went out with the guys, she'd see it as I was sleeping around. I don't want that."
"But, I want you to be happy."
"Happiness right now is seeing Angel and Eddie every morning. It was seeing the look on their faces when we went to Romania last summer. It's seeing Angel falling in love with Mikal. It's seeing Eddie embracing being a slayer," he said looking into her eyes. He wiped a tear off of her cheek and kissed it. "Happiness is spending the next 5 weeks in your arms. I love you, Alison."
"I love you, Rafe Kovich," she said as she sat up for a kiss. "But I want to get Livvie and Jesse to be friends again."
"Fine, whatever you say, but first-," he said as he started to kiss her. He pulled back for a moment and took in her beauty, and then started planting kisses along her neck down along her collar bone. He could hear her give out a long sigh, which made a smile appear on his face.
Her fingers were already trying to undo the buttons on the blue shirt he was wearing as he slipped out of her reach when he moved down to her stomach. Lifting up the edge of her shirt, he began to kiss her stomach, which made a laugh escape from her lips.
He came back up to her face once more, and she stopped him, placing her hand on his face, as she gazed into his eyes, before bringing her lips to his as they both slipped into the rhythm of making love to each other.
