Alec woke the next morning with them arriving in Texas. "Max." he whispered to his sleeping friend. "Wake the fuck up." Stirring from her half comatose state, Max shrugged the sleep from her eyes. "What do you want Alec? I want to catch a couple more z's before we get to Roswell." She said as she turned to him. "Well see that's where I thought we were going to, but for some reason we are in Marathon, Texas. Do you have any idea why we would be in Marathon, Texas?" Alec asked. Before Max could answer Alec, they saw Zack walk out of a house with a little boy in tow. *That must be Johnny* Max and Alex thought to themselves.

As Alec stared at the boy, he saw a lot of Ben in him. His hair was pure Liz's but the eyes were Ben's alright. He was small for his age, but he looked a lot like they did at that age. He didn't look like a normal child. But then again, none of them were really normal.

As they approached the car, Alec and Max saw Zack turn to the little boy and start to talk to him. The boy, Johnny, would responded animatedly and look like Christmas and come early to him. As they walked closer, Alec could hear their conversation. "But Uncle Zack, Mom doesn't need to know that I almost broke my leg. At least not now. Wait at least a month, before you feed me to her." Johnny was saying. Zack laughed at this. "Okay kiddo, but I will tell her, you know how important you are to her. Please just promise me that you wont due anything foolish till then, I don't think she could survive that." Zack said somberly. "I know Uncle Zack and I really do wish things were different. I know how much Dad meant to her, but sometimes I wish that maybe I had not been born, this way mom and dad would be together." Johnny said sighing softly. Zack stopped and turned his "nephew" towards him. "Don't you ever wish that Johnny, as much as your mother and myself miss Ben, we would never wish that you weren't born. You saved more then you will ever know." At this point they had reached the car.

As Johnny and Zack got into the car with Johnny's stuff, Johnny turned and noticed the two other occupants of the car. Turning towards his uncle, he silently asked who they were. "Johnny, this is Max, a friend of your dad's and myself, and this is Alec, your dad's twin brother." Zack said pointing at each of them. Johnny stared at them both before saying "Oh"

That was all that he had said to either of them, during the car ride to Roswell. While this made both Max and Zack nervous, it gave Alec time to think about everything that had happened so far.

Sorry for it taking me so long to update and all, but I had a lot going on this summer, and this was the first chance I had to write in along time. I don't know when the next chapter will be up, but hopefully before September.

P.S. I thought I would add the meeting of Johnny this time around. Thanks.
