It had been two weeks since Ana had her last nightmare about the twins. So far her sleep had been heavy and peaceful and her spirit seemed to lift up a little.

The island had become a happy place.

Nicole and Ana spent most of their days out on the decks sunbathing and reading old magazines and laughing up a storm.

Terry and Kenneth had been making the resort look like a real nice home, in fact last month they decorated all the palm trees around the beach for Christmas.

Kenneth improved his fishing skills and brought back as much game as he could.

The island was busy for the four of them...but their had been no more crying or feeling sorry for each other, they knew somehow they made it for a reason, and their might be hope ahead.

One night everyone was sitting down and relaxing in the main resort "lobby." The biggest building of them all which had a huge glassed in room with a soft white carpet and a nice brick fireplace.

After dinner everyone sat back and relaxed there, Ana was laying back on one of the soft sofas and rubbing her stomach, Terry sat on one of the lay back chairs and asked Kenneth who was sitting back on another sofa if he should consider growing a mustache?

Kenneth smiled and said he should wait until his voice changes, Everyone including Terry roared with laughter.

Chips the dog on the other hand had fallen asleep closer to the fire.

Nicole sat by Ana's feet and was brushing her now growing hair which turned to a lovely shade of golden red.

Ana then felt something and she giggled.

"What is it?" Kenneth asked as he saw Ana giggle again.

"The babies are kicking..." She said as she placed her hands on her stomach and laughed again.

Just then the three of them shot up like bullets and raced towards her.

"Can we feel it?" Terry asked, almost excited and nervous at the same time.

Ana said sure and one by one the three of them put their hand against her stomach and felt a soft bump.

Even Kenneth looked amazed and started to laugh with the others.

"Oh my God their kicking so hard!" Laughed Nicole as she felt again, Ana laughed back.

"Their gonna be just like their father...a real fighter." Terry said and smiled locking eyes with Ana.

Ana smiled back at him and liked the fact no one had forgotten that Michael was the reason these two inside her came to be.

For the past hour or so everyone sat around Ana and laughed and talked while they felt her stomach kick. Then their was no more and Ana sat up a little saying they must have gone to sleep.

The night grew on and they talked more and more, never feeling this close to each other them before...somehow now they could talk about the past and not be as sad.

"Who do you miss the most?" Nicole asked Terry as she snuggled up to him on the floor.

"Like who?"

"Someone that was in the group with us...can't say friends or family since we all ready know you miss them."

Terry thought for a few minuets and then got his answer.

"I guess CJ."

"CJ huh?" Nicole said with a smile on her face.

"Yeah...I guess he was a real prick to start off with, but that was just because he was scared...he kind of made it possible for all of us to get to the dock."

"I miss him to."

Ana said with a smile.

Everyone smiled back and now it was Kenneth's turn.

"I guess I miss Andy...I mean sure all we did was talk back and forth by those white boards...but he seemed like a real friend."

Everyone nodded.

"What about you Nicole?"

"I met some of the nicest people up at Crossroads...but I miss Norma and Tucker, They seemed like really nice people."

Everyone smiled and agreed.

"What about you Ana?"

Ana smiled as she sat up a little.

"I think everyone knows my answer...but I miss everyone that you guys talked about too."

Everyone shared Ana's pain and understood.

"I wish they all could have made it..."

Nicole sighed as she brought her kneels closer towards her body and looked off into space.

Terry made a weak smile and rubbed her back.

"Yeah me to."

Ana looked over at Nicole and knew that she missed everyone just as much as they all did.

Kenneth looked over at the cracking fire and heard some of the beach wood pop and snap from the orange red flames.

Then Terry cheered them all up with another smile and said...

"I bet if they were all alive now CJ would be sitting over there..."

He pointed and everyone looked and saw the bar...lined up with different bottles of liquor and glasses.

Everyone laughed.

"And he would be complaining about something and combing his hair."

Kenneth let out a deep laugh.

"And I bet Tucker would be sitting beside him drinking a can of beer and just nodding his head like he used to do."

The laughs came again.

"Norma would be outside having a smoke on the back deck."

Everyone looked and smiled and remembered that was one of Norma's most favorite things to do.

"Michael would be sitting next to Ana and have his arm around her like he always did."

Ana looked at the empty spot beside her and gave a weak smile, trying her best to see him.

"Andy would be playing chess with Kenneth by the fire with Chips laying next to their feet."

Kenneth looked over at Chips and smiled.

"Luda and Andre would all ready be asleep with their baby upstairs."

Their names went right through Ana...she could remember them all much better now, and only see the times when they were alive and healthy...back when happiness could still be in the future.

"Frank would be watching me like a hawk in case I tried to pull any moves on Nicole here."

Nicole looked at Terry with such love and care and put her head on his shoulder.

"What about Bart, Steve, and Monica?"

Ana asked with a smile forming on her face.

Terry smiled

"Bart and Monica are outside...their on clean up duty...and Steve didn't make it."

Everyone all at once laughed out loud until tears ran down their faces...this was really the first them they all laughed together with a feeling of hope.

Once they calmed down Nicole looked over at Ana.

"Do you have any names picked out yet?"

Ana looked down at her stomach and smiled.

"Been trying to think of some for the last three months...I found a name book in one of the gift shops...I flipped through it a few times."

"Any strike you yet?"

"Well, if it's a boy I was thinking about naming it Hunter...and it's a girl Dawn."

Everyone smiled

"What if you get two boys or two girls?"

"Well, then if it was two boys I would name one Michael and the other Hunter...and if it was two girls I would name one Luda and the other one Dawn."

Everyone smiled

"I think Michael would have liked that."

Ana smiled and sighed.

"You know Terry...when you were talking about everyone I felt really good? I mean it just hits me every day that these people are gone you know?"

Terry smiled a little.

"It just kills me knowing that such good people died that day, I mean everyone who died gave their life up so we could survive...and their not even here to be with us."

Everyone nodded.

Ana shook her head and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

"I know this crying can't bring them back...but doesn't it hurt that we talk about these people...but every day that goes by it gets harder and harder to remember them?"

No one said anything...they knew she was right.

After a few minuets Terry stood up and walked over to Ana.

"Ana...I don't want that to happen to you...none of us do."

Ana smiled

"I know..."

Terry then smiled and stuck his hands in his pockets.

"We want to show you something okay?"

Ana looked a little stunned.

"What?"

He let out his hand.

"Come on we're show you."

Ana seemed confused but slowly with the help of Terry got off the couch and they led her back to her house.

Once they stepped inside her living room they told her to shut her eyes.

Ana asked what was it but they told her to keep her eyes closed.

Slowly they led her down the hallway downstairs, Ana had only been in his part of the house twice since she lived there...it wasn't anything much, a study which over looked the beach, a bath room and another room which had one wall completely made out of stained glass.

She didn't bother to go in there since she never used the rooms herself.

They then opened the door to the spare bed room and walked her inside.

"Guys what is it?" She asked again and then Terry took his hand down from her eyes.

Ana was stunned.

The three of them had changed the spare bedroom inside a full nursery for the two babies.

Everything seemed to look so perfect and so much time and care put into the room.

She gasped.

"Guys..." She was breathless...she couldn't speak.

The other three all had wide smiles on.

Ana looked around the room and then slowly turned.

"How?" She laughed.

Nicole smiled.

"For the past month each time you left the house to go down to the beach we're been setting the place up for you."

Ana looked around at the tables and cribs and stuffed bears that Nicole had placed around.

It was so perfect.

Ana then started to cry with joy and hugged the three of them as tight as she could and thanked them.

After the three of them showed her around the room and where everything was...Ana couldn't stop thanking them.

Kenneth then hugged her again.

"You don't need to be worried any more Ana...we love you and we're not going to let anything happen to you or Michael's babies."

Ana smiled and kissed him on the cheek and thanked him again.

"Well, be better get going...it's getting late." Nicole yawned and smiled.

Ana hugged her and Terry again as they left and told them she could see them bright and early the next day.

Before Kenneth left Ana walked him to the door and smiled.

"Kenneth..."

Kenneth put his large hand on her shoulder and smiled back at her.

"You don't need to say it again Ana...your a good person and so wasn't Michael...we wanna see your babies grow up just like you two."

Ana smiled knowing what good friends she had here...Michael was right, they loved her as much as he did.

"Heres one more thing...a little gift I know you wanted."

"Kenneth! You guys have done enough!" She laughed, but Kenneth reached in his back pocket and placed it in her hands.

"Night Ana."

He smiled and then turned and walked into the darkness.

Ana watched him until he disappeared and then started back inside.

She looked down at what Kenneth had given her and right away she knew what it was.

Her heart gave a small jump and she wanted to cry with happiness."

"I just don't wanna forget about them..." She could remember herself saying in the lobby.

She then turned it over and saw it was Michael's driving License.

She went over to the couch and sat down looking it over.

First their was his name... Michael Powell

"Michael Powell." She said her herself. She never knew Michael's last name.

"Age thirty-eight...brith date March 19th 1964."

"Height 6'2."

She then scanned her eyes over where he had gotten his licensee and then saw his photo.

It was small like everyone's licensee...but he looked good and had a nice smile on as it was being taken.

Ana herself hated her photo...but Michael's was different.

Just seeing his face again brought back so much.

She just looked at it and remembered.

And that's what she did the whole night...she didn't move.

She just looked and remembered.
