ALAN'S DINOSAURS

Chapter 22: How to Train your Dinosaur

MONTANA 1988

"Rosco! Here boy, come here Rosco!" Alan called to the baby T-Rex who is now up to his knees. The baby dinosaurs are now a few weeks old and already they are starting to get into things. For starters Rosco the baby T-Rex likes to explore the dig site and get into everything. He views the others there as part of his family and often times try to nip at their feet or head butt their legs for attention. Nico the baby raptor would often times try to bite as many fingers as possible hoping to get a snack from someone's lunch. Tank would follow Alan or Ellie everywhere. Sarah would screech often if someone approaches with her mouth open along with Frankie.

All six dinosaurs even as babies are a handful and trying to feed and raise them is a hassle. At least the volunteers who are not working on the dig are helping with the animal's care. Jessica Grady for example being a veterinarian by trade and her children are often seen dealing with the dinosaurs. Alan being the paleontologist that he is is often times trying to study how they moved.

"Ellie do you see that!" he said pointing to Rosco, "How they show them at the museums are all wrong!" Alan said as he managed to grab onto the little Rex much to his delight and stroked him down. When he opened his mouth his teeth are needles still. "Look at his teeth they are not as long or as banana shaped as an adult but you can clearly see that they can hold onto their prey before consumption. Or steal the hotdogs from the fridge," Alan said after smelling his breath.

"Well I do know one thing," Ellie said as she studied little Tank. "They are sure a handful," she said.

"OW! WHY YOU LITTLE…..!"

ISLA NUBLAR PRESENT DAY

"Tien!" Henry said as he saw his two week old Troodon chick going into his stuff. The Troodon in question raised his head out of the bag of Henry's stuff and chirped.

"Tien no!" Henry said while the others laughed.

They are at the Visitor's Center discussing what to do with the babies as well as plans to go to Isla Sorna to investigate how things are going there.

"So let me get this straight Alan you plan on going to another island full of dinosaurs to figure out the situation there?" said Jessica Grady as she and her husband and two kids both had been staying there for about a week. The break for the kids is about two weeks and thankfully Costa Rica is warm and the state of Washington freezing cold. It was near Thanksgiving time so the kids are excited to spend time down south. Montana was probably covered in snow and there was nothing else to be done with Alan's ranch. Winter sets in early as far as Alan was concerned. It was still autumn everywhere else with it being mid-November with the leaves all golden in most of the U.S. But here in Costa Rica it is still the same year round.

"I have to Jess the dinosaurs need an expert to look at them and Robert and I are the only qualified ones available. Ray and your family will stay here and monitor this island while we are gone. But for myself, Robert and Henry we have to see what as become of Sorna. Henry will leave both Tien and Rosie here with you while we go. Both babies are far too young to travel with them being only two weeks old. I will take Rosco with me since he is my best Tracker. Rexy and Junior are staying here since they are not ready for travel. I will use Sarah as a transport. Frankie knows the babies best so he will stay here while Robert takes Nico on that boat we found at the docks. Tank and Spitz are out watching the herds till our return." Alan said

"Rosco just recovered from his wounds and already he is back to work," said Richard Grady who was busy at a computer with Ray.

"So how are you folks enjoying your stay so far?" Alan asked.

"Well if this was a fully functioning park then we could not have afford it. But thanks for inviting us to help with the clean up," Richard said.

"No problem I figured you wanted to come down south to see the kids again," Alan replied to Richard.

"I missed them and seeing Tank playing with that Triceratops makes me think I truly have been brought to a lost world," Richard replied.

"Daddy the babies are cute!" said Maria as she played with Tien and Rosie and both babies along with Frankie are in their pen. The area that was gated off for children was also placed for babies. Maria is only five but she had taken to the two youngest dinosaurs. Tien and Rosie were busy playing with a ball that she had brought with her to play with. She even had books that she read to them.

Rosie was enjoying the chase with the ball while Tien was trying to hit the ball with his claws.

"Alright so here is how it goes," said Ray as he pulled up the map of the island.

"Isla Sorna is by far larger then Nublar and it is filled with estuaries and swamps. The environment was made suitable to InGen back in the early 70's. However because of its geological standpoint the island is more like a volcano crater. Luckily for us the volcano is dormant so we could conduct our business there. Our main power source is just like Nublar Geothermal but the volcano shows no sign of awakening which is good. We kept thermal imagery here to show us where the animals are located." Ray said and showed it on the main screen.

Many thermal images are showing but some appear erratic.

"Why are they showing erratic behavior?" asked Jessica.

"From what I gathered in the reports there was a recent outbreak of Prions on the island. The team that lives there was supposed to contain it before the hurricane hit the island," Ray replied.

"Jesus Christ!" Henry said looking at it, "Those fucktards are trying to destroy our stalk!" he said.

"My thoughts exactly we have reason to believe that the prions infected livestock is to blame. Unlike here where the livestock is more strictly regulated this stock was not and so one infected with the disease was able to slip past the inspectors." Ray replied.

"Jesus!" this time it was Richard that replied.

"So how do we deal with this? I mean with the animals now loose how do we know about dealing with this sort of thing?" Henry asked.

Alan remained quiet as he looked at the images, "Ray can you identify what species is which through these?" he asked.

"Yeah sure," Ray said and punched in a few codes. The image changed to showing labels of the different species. Alan and the others observed how the different animals interact with each other and from what he saw they are closely bunched together.

"What are they doing?" asked Henry.

"Establishing territories," Robert replied, "When animals are first released into a new environment the first thing they do is establish their territory. This enables them to figure out what area is most suitable for them. It has to have three things, food, water and shelter. Where the food is, is the question, where the water is coming from and where is the best shelter from a storm. Now another thing to consider is if its a herbivore where is the best place to avoid predators and for the predators where is the best place to ambush their prey. Now from what I see here the carnivores are too tightly packed so that means that they are right now competing for the best space. Give it a few months to a year and the territories will be established." Robert said.

"Now given the fact that the disease is adamant on Sorna which animals were infected?" asked Jessica.

Ray again changed the imagery to two groups both of which are carnivores.

"Alright it looks like the T-Rexes are out of the picture as well as the raptors," said Ray.

"But the Ceratosaurus and the Carnotaurus are the main culprits," said Alan.

"Yeah so making sure they are not infecting anyone else is the issue here," Ray said.

"Alright we need the live guns and silencers if you have any," said Alan.

Robert nodded, "I have some in my office what do we do when we kill an animal?" Robert asked.

"We burn the bodies. Right now your animals are all still young which makes it suitable to do so. Any bigger and that could pose a problem." Alan replied.

"I take it you had to deal with Prions before?" asked Robert.

"I owned a Ranch remember," Alan replied.

"Oh," was the reply.

"Prions has no cure so if we see the clear signs of it we have to put the animals down." Alan said and listed the names of the symptoms to look for. Robert and Ray both looked uncomfortable at the idea of putting their animals down if that was the case but they had no choice.

"What about the livestock?" asked Henry.

"We can deal with them when we get there but right now we need to deal with the dinosaurs. Henry remember you're with us while Ray and the Grady's will stay here to keep an eye on things," Alan said.

"Alright will do," he said and watched as his babies are playing with little Maria.

LATER

Both Alan and Robert cursed at the fact that it had taken them nearly two weeks to get things settled with Isla Nublar. First was dealing with the animals then dealing with food rations and third cleaning up the mess. With only the four of them it was a rather difficult task. That and dealing with the occasional predator or two. Now that Alan was sure that the dinosaurs were breeding he had told Henry to let things go for now. The Geneticist was thrilled his creations were thriving but at the same time horrified that he had used the wrong amphibian DNA to bridge the gaps in the sequence.

When the Grady's arrived nearly a week ago things actually gotten a lot easier. Henry had gotten some help from Owen and Maria. The two children who are experienced in dealing with dinosaurs and dinosaur babies on Owen's part gave Henry the much needed break he needed to catch up on sleep. Tien and Rosie were both a handful with their demands and since Henry is mostly by himself he is finding out first hand what problems he has to face when dealing with hatchlings. Alan tries to offer some advice to help him along and the Asian man is grateful for the help.

Then there was a problem with the computers. Ray had a hell of a time trying to make sure that the last of Dennis Nedry's code was gone. He even had to check the many different stations to ensure that the computers were still functioning. His first time on Sarah was hilarious enough as it was.

Then there was the plans to repair the Aquatic Park area. That had taken some time to do since they had to find out where the maintenance kept its spare glass panels. When that was done they repaired and drained the water out of the elevator shaft. Thank goodness the control room was still dry thanks to a built in pressure system. Richard Grady was a huge help with the repairs to the aqua park. And when they repaired and reopened the sea pen a happy Iggy and Terry came swimming in. both had gotten much larger then they originally were two weeks ago. Alan figured that they had been starving thanks to Levi the now dead Tylosaur. With the sea pen now opened to the ocean both Iggy and Terry were able to return to the pen. And with the wall panels fixed Alan managed to see for himself how much healthier they both looked.

Iggy looked like she had grown a full two feet while Terry who was about ten feet long grew to thirteen feet in two weeks. Her girth now wider and healthier then it was when they found her. In fact it was Terry that was offering a piece of squid that they caught just off the coast. Laughing Alan took the squid and offered it to Nico who was happy to eat it.

Then they had problems with the water pumps thanks to the Troodon in the tunnels. They had to literally gas bomb the tunnels to get at those nasty little creatures. When they finally were able to fix the problem it had taken a bit of effort. In the end they still had running water which was a good thing.

Now after nearly two weeks of getting functional again now it was time to head over to Isla Sorna. Both men were not anticipating the journey to Isla Sorna any time soon. The first thing they had to do was get the cargo ship they are going to use functional. That was no problem but both men had no idea how to run it. Luckily for them it was Ray Arnold who discovered a way to use the ship.

Ray was not stupid far from it. He managed when they were inspecting the ship find an instruction book on the operation of the ship for any new crew members. It explains the engines and how each part of the ship functions. It took both Alan and Robert some time to study but they managed to figure it out.

"Now lets see if we can get to that island," Robert said.

Ray put the image of the ocean map in front of them in 3D.

"Ok according to these charts Isla Sorna is about eighty seven miles south west of us. It is surrounded by reefs and high cliffs making it perfect to house a facility there." Ray said.

"The only downside is that the weather is unpredictable and with the recent storm things don't look good. According to the weather reports another storm is on its way. Good thing for us it will by pass Isla Nublar but unfortunately for you it will hit Sorna. So when you land there make sure that you are docked off shore. Or just wait out the storm," Ray said.

"No, we don't have time for that!" Robert said.

"Robert safety first remember," this time it was Henry who replied from the door. The poor man looked haggard after dealing with two baby dinosaurs for weeks. Both babies were excited to see him as they tried to leap over the pen to him but they were still too small.

"Henry you should not be up at this time," said Jessica as she came up to him.

"I know but I could not help but overhear your plan and personally I think we should wait till the storm passes. If not we could hit the reef that surrounds the island and it will surely destroy the vessel you plan to use," Henry replied in that smooth voice of his.

"Henry's right Robert even if you make it to the island in that storm the reef would destroy the vessel, and then how the fuck will you get back," Ray said. He reached for a cigarette but found an empty box instead. Cursing he turned to find Jessica Grady glaring at him as she handed him a full pack. "If you are going to smoke do it away from my kids," she said.

Ray grumbled before he turned towards the computers again.

They watched as the storm neared the island and surprisingly no one moved. Till…

"Um Ray how strong is that storm?" asked Richard.

"It is a category five hurricane remember you are in Central America where the storms here are at their worst. So I would definitely not go out there till it passes," Ray replied.

"Fuck!" Robert cursed.

"So when is the best time?" asked Alan.

"Give it two or three days after the storm has passed. I will keep an eye on it just to make sure," Ray replied as he typed a few keys.

A FEW HOURS LATER

"This fucken bites!" Robert complained as he and Alan were on top of Rosco's back patrolling the shoreline. Henry stayed to get some rest while the Grady's helped while they can. Rosco supported the now stitched up wounds on his side. Jessica did a good job in patching him up and now the Tyrannosaur was more then happy to give them a ride.

"You know he is right Robert you have to think about safety first before we set out," Alan said as they neared the East Docks. The sounds of splashing could be heard as Terry leaped from the water just off shore. The Mosasaur and her Opthalmasaurus friend were more then enjoying their freedom in the sea. Rosco stopped to stare at them and offered a greeting of his own. As if hearing him both Iggy and Terry leaped clear out of the water to show off to him. A deep rumble could be felt by the two men as Rosco turned and started towards the docks once again.

When they got there what was left of the East Docks was in shambles. Both men knew there is going to be a lot of cleanup work to do in order to make it functional again. The empty containers where goods were offloaded were on the ground and rolled over. Some even smashed beyond repair so Alan probably is going to use them for scraps or sell them to be made into scraps.

The ship looked intact as it was, but both men knew from experience that looks can be deceiving. So Alan had Rosco walk up the still intact ramp onto the ship. At first the T-Rex was hesitant but after assurances from Alan he managed to get onto the ship. Sniffing the area to ensure that nothing else was here both Alan and Robert were able to get off the larger dinosaur and explored the ship.

The cargo from the ship was mostly intact since they were kept in a separate part of the ship. This included frozen items and food supplies which is good considering that they need it. The part that contained the dinosaurs was in shambles with broken cages and chains everywhere. Even the corpse of an animal or two because they did not make it off the ship. Rosco sniffed the carcasses both of which were smaller dinosaurs.

"Don't you dare eat that!" Alan growled to him.

Rosco sniffed it before moving on into the ship.

"How did you get him to listen to you?" Robert said.

"He knows better and I taught him better," Alan said to Robert. The sight of the compys eating the carcass was enough to know that by the time they leave it would be cleaned. Walking further they inspected every inch of the cargo hold for any signs of life. It was in shambles but they managed to assess that nothing was wrong.

Walking into the engine room and then later into the bridge saw nothing out of the ordinary. The cots and mattresses of the crew quarters along with the remains of several of the men who ran the ship littered the area. The smaller dinosaurs namely the predators were to blame for the deaths of these crew members but both men knew that they deserved it. These were not the men that InGen hired to bring the food stocks to the island. These were the men who tried to steal what belonged on this island.

Suddenly a ruffling sound was heard and both men instantly raised their guns. Nodding to each other they neared the end of the hallway which separated the crew quarters from the kitchens and the deck. As they neared they could hear the sounds of something in the kitchens. It was also then that they heard voices coming from the kitchen. Both men stopped when they heard it and it was Robert who notched his head towards the door. Alan nodded knowing that they have intruders. At the count of three both men burst into the kitchen surprising the family there.

All of them screamed when they saw the men and one child started crying in Spanish. It was when they huddled up in the corner that both men lowered their guns.

"Está bien, no te vamos a lastimar," (It's alright we are not going to hurt you,) Robert said to them in Spanish.

"Por favor, no más le ruego señor, sólo queríamos comer!" (No more I beg you sir, we only wanted to eat!) the man in charge said to them. Both men looked at him and sighed before putting down their guns.

"Can anyone of you speak English?" Alan asked.

They nodded and the man spoke with a heavy accent replied to them, "You not going to hurt my family?" he asked.

"No we are not and the animal out there is not going to hurt them either," Alan replied.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" Robert asked.

"I am Josè and this is my ship. The storm hit so it was stuck here and then those things broke out of the cargo hold so we were too terrified to leave," the man known as Josè said to them.

"Well Josè it is nice to meet you. I am Alan Grant this man here is Robert Muldoon chief Game Warden of Jurassic Park. We are here to assess your boat for travel in the next few days." Alan said to the man.

The woman with Josè was muttering something in Spanish and the man translated it to her. The children who huddled with them looked at them in wonder. There was both a boy and a girl with them. The boy looks to be about twelve years of age while the girl was younger about seven. It took about an hour for Alan and Robert to discuss what is going to happen to the family. They explained their plan and their need to go to Isla Sorna and why it was desperate to get there. Josè explains why they are there. He says that he was hired to transport goods to Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna because his ship was the biggest at his home port in Costa Rica. He owns the ship and has made good money with InGen and with the other companies he ships with. He also told Alan about the scare with the animals racing out of the ship. Alan and Robert explain that the animals were being stolen from the island and that they were only returning them to their home. Josè even explained about how he escaped the carnage by hiding his family in the captain's quarters and sealing the door.

"Alan we need to get them to the Visitor's Center where Jessica can have a look at them," Robert explained.

"Yeah you're right," and Alan grabbed his radio.

"Ray can you hear me?" Alan asked.

"I hear you loud and clear Alan wassup?" he said.

"Ray we encountered a family on the ship a man named Josè and his wife and kids. They were hiding on the ship when the attack came," Alan replied.

"Josè? God damn it! I figured it was his ship I thought he died for sure is he listening to you?" he asked Alan.

When Alan gave the affirmative Ray began to speak to Josè in Spanish. The Costa Rican man was more then surprised to hear from the African American but he was glad to speak to a familiar voice. When speaking to him they learned that Josè's ship the Princesa Del Océano was dropping off supplies when the call came for transport of goods from Isla Nublar. The other ship the one that carries passengers had already left leaving his ship to wait out the storm. They then noticed the increase in weight of the cargo they started to load onto the ship. Now Josè is familiar with dinosaurs on the ship. Having to ship them from Isla Sorna to Isla Nublar but this time there was more then the single dinosaur or two or three. There was many and so much so that he feared that his ship might not handle the weight. When he went to investigate that was when he was held at gunpoint by Nedry's men. It was then that they realized that this ship was actually stolen and that Josè's family and himself were locked in the Captain's quarters till the dinosaurs broke free and killed all the men. When they escaped the Captain's quarters they managed to see all the dead bodies of both human and dinosaur on the ship. Fearing for their lives Josè and his family remained on board until the seas calm enough to leave. Well that is until they encountered Iggy and Terry. Then they stayed in port fearing the worst.

"Well you don't have to worry you are safe," Robert said to them.

"Tell that to him!" Josè said to Robert while pointing to the window of the captain's quarters.

There in the hole was a rather large yellow eye. Alan sighed as he neared the window, "Rosco what are you doing?" he asked the dinosaur. A deep rumble was the reply and one that Alan smirked at.

"What is that dinosaur of yours doing Grant?" Robert asked.

"He was just curious about our friends here most notably the children. Rosco likes kids and probably thought of them as potential friends. Remember Lex and Tim? Well remember a T-Rex's sense of smell is highly developed and he probably could smell them here," Alan said laughing.

"Is he going to eat them?" asked Josè who was translating for his wife.

"No, but he would want them to pet him," Alan replied and the man translated for his wife. Bewildered she walked over to the window to see the large eye staring at them. Blinking Rosco was more then curious about the newcomers.

"Why don't we all go outside so we can properly introduce you to him and then head back to the Hotel since it is getting late," Robert replied.

They made their way outside of the ship where Rosco was waiting. The large bull Rex was swinging his tail in slow lazy arcs when he saw the group come out of the main deck. Josè clung to his wife in fear and she their children till Rosco bent down to sniff at them. Alan only patted his snout affectionately which caused an easy and happy rumble.

"It's ok," Alan said and gently guided Josè towards the Tyrannosaur. Rosco leaned down and offered his arms as sort of a stepping stool. Alan was the first up followed by Robert and then Josè's family. With a gentle nudge Alan had Rosco take them back to the hotel. Since the roads had been cleared by the men and dinosaurs it was easier to get around now. Still it takes a few hours to get to the area they need to go but they can travel easier. Rosco followed the road towards where the nest is kept.

VISITOR'S CENTER

Henry Wu returned after sometime feeling much refreshed after some much needed sleep. The Grady's had been a huge help in looking after his so called kids while he got some much needed sleep. Owen and Maria enjoy playing with Tien and Rosie while Frankie the Archeopteryx likes to get food for them. The insects he catches proves to be a good source of nutrition for the growing hatchlings.

"Um Jessica is it?" he asked when he entered the labs where they moved the babies.

"Ah Henry is it? How are you feeling?" she asked warmly while he sat down.

"I am feeling better thank you and thank you for taking care of my children," he said looking into the observation room where Tien and Rosie were playing with the Grady kids. Nico the raptor was also there watching them. If one or the other gets too rough with the human children he would be there to scold them. He would often switch off with Spitz the other smaller carnivore. Spitz would often bring meat from the outside or nesting material for the little ones.

"I came to tell you that it is time to head back to the hotel. Ray says that it is getting late and the Troodon are coming out soon," she said and Henry nodded before watching Jessica enter the room. Maria was napping with Rosie while Owen was playing with Tien. The Troodon was more active because dusk was near and it was nearly time to play. Thankfully Frankie returned from his latest hunt and with him came Spitz. The two smaller dinosaurs often switch between shifts to watch the little ones. During the day Nico would help Henry watch the two hatchlings while Frankie hunts. While Spitz would take the night shift while Nico hunts. Both adults then entered the room. Jessica then scooped up Maria. Henry picked up his two hatchlings. Tien chirped at Owen while Rosie slept on. It was just as Ray came into the room that the two larger dinosaurs became alert. A growl came from Nico while Spitz flapped his frill in warning. Richard came in quickly with a couple of rifles. Passing one to Ray and then to Henry since Jessica's hands were full with Maria. Owen quickly hurried to his mother and relieved her of Maria while she grabbed another rifle from Ray.

"Alright everyone to their defense positions!" Ray said as they all heard the sounds of clicking and growling from the Troodon. They made their way out of the room towards the back exit door that would take them out. As soon as they were out Ray quickly put in the code to close up shop while they hurried to the jeep that would take them back to the hotel.

AT THE HOTEL

"Man that was close!" said Ray as he and the others put away their guns.

Alan and Robert had returned already with the Costa Rican family and explained why they were there. Ray explained what had happened with the Troodon at the Visitor's Center.

"Shit I thought we took care of those fuckers!" said Robert and a glare from Jessica had him silenced.

"We only took care of some of them not all. They probably went somewhere else to breed. I bet they took refuge either deeper in the tunnels or in some underground cave we don't know about," Alan suggested.

"Well these caves are far from being cold I bet there are still some active lava tubes here. I studied volcanology while getting my degree in geology so I know a few things. In fact if you want I can get a hold of a few friends who study active volcanoes because if what you told me was true then this volcano is still active." Richard said to Alan that night while looking at the sleeping dinosaurs. The only ones who were not there were in fact the Rexes who are taking a turn watching the herds.

"You have impressive creatures Dr. Grant," said Josè when he came out to join the other men. Henry was inside with his babies and Owen was next to Alan looking outside at the dinosaurs.

"So Owen enjoyed your stay so far?" he asked the twelve...no wait thirteen year old boy. Owen's birthday was a few days ago which makes him a teenager now.

"I love it! This is the best birthday present ever Dr. Grant. Just being here with the dinosaurs again I felt like it is Christmas again. Only all of my family is here," Owen said happily.

And as Alan looked at the boy he is truly happy, "I am glad you got them back Dr. Grant I missed them. And better yet you got them a home they love! I mean they get to be with other dinosaurs even if they are in a way genetic freaks." he joked.

"Yes, but they are still dinosaurs and they are under our protection now," Alan stated.

"I hope so, I mean from what I heard Dr. Wu and Mr. Arnold tell my mom. This place would not have been very good with taking care of the dinosaurs. Not like what you did with Rosco and the others." Owen said.

"No, you are right there Owen, the animals would have been trapped in a cage. At least now with some guidance they can be free like mine had been. And with proper care they can thrive in this environment. In fact the native wildlife from the looks of it are already adapting to the dinosaurs," Alan replied to the boy.

"I hope so," Owen said and then his eyes lit up, "Do you know anything about those two sea monsters we saw on the way here?"

"Oh you mean Iggy and Terry yeah I know about them. Iggy is an opthalmasaurus a type of icthyosaur while Terry is a mosasaur," Alan said to him smiling the while time.

"Cool! And I swear I saw some pteranodons like Sarah here too. I hope I get to explore more of the island before I leave," Owen said excitedly.

"Well you won't have that much time here because Dr. Harding is due back next week. But maybe if you are good and your grades are up you can ask your mother and father if they can bring you here next summer," Alan said.

"Really!" Owen said his eyes lit up. "Yes, in fact Dr. Wu asked if you could since you took good care of Tien and Rosie for him," Alan suggested.

"Oh wow thanks Dr. Grant! I will ask my mom and dad right now!" Owen said as he ran back into the hotel room.

Alan chuckled as he watched the overweighted boy run back in side. It was people like Owen that make Alan love the work that he does.

Suddenly a rather large head appeared and Rosco gave Alan a gently blow with his nostrils. Chuckling some more he reached out and patted Rosco's snout. The T-Rex rumbled a gentle croon to Alan before leaning his head further onto the balcony and Alan gave Rosco a hug. He stroked his snout and both watched Owen talk excitedly to his parents while his mother held little Maria. The six year old slept soundly since the day wore her out. Rosco continued to croon as Alan stroked him and he often let his mid drift while petting him.

He often thought about what would have happened had he not hatched his dinosaurs. He even thought about what would happen had he not lost them. He even thought about his ex-girlfriend and the fact that she tried to swindle him into raising kids that were not even his.

But that was so long ago and he was young and stupid back then.

Now however he had his children and they were safe at last. Another rumble and a nudge had Alan out of his thoughts as he continued to stroke Rosco. The large T-Rex had his eyes shut as he enjoyed his cuddle time.

"You miss this don't you boy," Alan said to him. A rumble was his only reply.

"I don't know how you have such a relationship with such a large predator," a voice said and Rosco slowly pulled away. Alan turned his head to reveal the voice to be Henry Wu. Henry currently has Rosie next to him as the baby raptor was starting to be more mobile. Tien was also by his side the Troodon being more active at night.

"I raised him from the day he hatched and I let him be his natural self." Alan stated.

"I thought his natural self was trying to eat people and smash buildings," Henry said in jest. Alan turned and watched Rosco slowly make his way to where Junior and Tank were sleeping. Rexy had gone off to hunt most likely and Spitz was watching the herds with Nico. He marveled at how his children were flourishing here in Jurassic Park.

"Tyrannosaurus Rex does not eat people or smash buildings. They are first and foremost animals that should be respected and I had learned that while raising Rosco. I also learned a lot of things about raising dinosaurs and training them. Patience for starters, another is how to be more tolerant of people. Something you are starting to learn for yourself I'd imagine," Alan said to Henry as he leaned over the rail.

"Yeah, it is not easy raising these little guys. I mean I created them mostly but creating and raising are two different things," Henry said.

"I remember a line I once saw in a movie I watched about two years ago. 'Any man with a dick can make a baby, but only a real man can raise his children,' for me it was regardless of the species," Alan said to him.

"I am starting to understand that now," Henry said.

"Henry what you need to understand also is that what you do, you are responsible for. No matter the outcome. You helped create the animals here in Jurassic Park save for my dinosaurs. So that means they are your responsibility. Your love of genetic manipulation created them. But you must also shoulder the burden of the consequences of your actions." Alan said.

Henry looked down at his two hatchlings as they also stared up at him and crooned as if they knew he was talking about them. Then he heard a snore and turned to see a sleeping Junior now snug next to Rosco and Tank.

"How could you raise six different dinosaurs without them killing each other?" Henry asked.

"It is not easy but I learned something very simple. Make them understand that we are a family, a pack, or herd. Once they understood this then the rest was easy." Alan said.

"So how did you train your dinosaurs?" Henry asked.

"Using their natural instincts to my benefit," Alan replied.

"So how would I say train Tien and Rosie? After all both would be vicious predators when they are older, especially Rosie. I created her to be larger and smarter then her actual species. So how do I harness that?" Henry asked.

Alan smiled for he knew what the root of the problem was.

"Henry I trained Nico using sheep dogs because I fueled his natural instinct to hunt. I turned it into something I could use such as herding or helping find lost kids. You don't have that option so my thing to you is to teach Rosie how to hunt for herself. You also have to actually hunt with her a few times. The most important thing to do is to build up a bond with her and Tien. The stronger the bond the more powerful the connection you have." Alan said.

"So I have to build a bond? But how do I do that?" he said.

"You are doing it now," Alan replied.

It was as if a light had struck in Henry and Alan's smile grew wider as the geneticist started to understand what the paleontologist was trying to say. "Thank you Alan it means a lot," he said and started to walk away. Just as he did it the sound of thunder could be heard as storm clouds began to bare down on them. Thankfully it was not another hurricane just the arms of the storm passing. Alan sighed knowing that sooner or later they would have to make their way to Isla Sorna and what troubles would be brewing there. Looking down at his dinosaurs he could not help but worry.

A/n: Sorry it took so long for me to write this I was writing another story for Game of Thrones called 'Warriors of Winterfell,' and when I realized that I might end up doing what I had done before.
