Disclamer: I DON"T OWN DARK ANGEL

NOTE: Sorry for the wait and the cliffhanger

It is said that A Journey Of A Thousand Miles Begins With A Single Step.

Sometimes that step is harder to take than you ever thought possible.

Logan Looked up from the book in his hands and looked at Eliza, it was too late to turn back now. He flipped to the first page. It was a picture book he realized. An album. Max's handwriting flowed across the pages next to the portraits. Max stood in one pregnant with Eliza, her stomach extended. Next to the picture was written. "Max, seven months, what a big baby."



Picture after picture of Max with various siblings before Eliza was born. Then he was treated to the first picture his daughter had ever taken, wrapped in Max's arms. "Max and Eliza Maria Cale fifteen minutes after birth. May 9"



After that there were pictures of the baby with a few of Max's sibs. And of various stages of development some had the captions like "Liza's first steps" or "First time Liza ate Max's food" Which was in Zack's handwriting and was a picture of Eliza making the funniest face that Logan had ever seen. Pictures of Eliza dressed in lacy dresses and velvet suits followed.



The Logan came across a picture of Max and Eliza in the middle of a bog group of people. The captioning under the picture said "Max. Eliza, Zack, Zane, dog; Millie, Syl, Kritt, Sarah, Megan, Jondy, Roy, Samantha, Christian, Alana, Anthony, Christy, Tinga, Charlie, Case, Nicole, Jace, Little Max, Zoe, Lorelei, Calman, Paige, Luke, and Antonia.(X-5s and their families.)"



The next picture cleared up which of the bundle were X-5s and which were their spouses. It was a picture of the remaining ten. Jace wasn't in the picture. "Max, Zack, Zoe, Zane, Syl, Kritt, Jondy, Tinga, Christian, and Lorelei. The Remaining."Logan looked at the pictures of Max. She seamed happy but she had this look in her eyes. The saddest look he had ever seen her with. She wasn't nearly as happy as she wanted everyone to believe. Logan flipped to the last page as two pieces of paper fell out.

They were letters.
