Ethan's POV

Ethan walked through his hallway at home, smiling at all the pictures of his family and him. Ethan's ears perked up when he heard noises coming from down the stairs before making his way down the stairwell. He could hear his mother laughing along with his sister as he turned the corner and saw them on the couch, eating popcorn and watching a movie together. Ethan could tell Jane was older now, her hair longer and her features more defined as she pointed at the TV and laughed while throwing a few kernels at her mother.

"What are you guys watching?" Ethan said, not getting a response as he watched them continue to eat popcorn and watch their movie.

"Mom? Jane?" Ethan said, his smile diminishing as he noticed that once again they paid no attention to him. Ethan walked over and waved his arm in front of them, noticing how their eyes never even landed on him. He stepped forward as he placed a hand onto Jane's shoulder, only for it to go right through her.

"You guys don't remember me...mom! Jane! Answer me!" Ethan hollered out, stepping back as he watched them continue to laugh and stare off at the TV. Ethan closed his eyes shut and opened them once more only to see they were gone. He now saw Jane sitting on the couch, her head in her hands as she cried into them. Ethan noticed she was dressed in a black dress and heels, his mother nowhere in sight. Ethan looked down at himself as he began to fade away, looking back up at Jane in desperation.

"Remember me! Jane, you've got to remember me!" Ethan hollered out, not wanting to be forgotten as he felt tears run down his cheeks as his sister continued to cry herself.

Ethan awoke with a start in his bed, sweat dripping down his face as he felt hot tears begin to run down his cheeks. That's when he felt a pair of strong arms encircle him as he looked over and saw Shepard's face right there and Glyph floating off to the side of the bed.

"What's wrong Ethan!" Shepard asked, clearly worried as he held Ethan by the shoulders. Ethan looked into Shepard's glowing green eyes before hurling himself into Shepard's arms, crying in fear.

"I had a dream, my family was forgetting about me. I stood there right in front of them and they couldn't even see me, it's like I was never there, never apart of their lives, just nothing." Ethan said as he cried into Shepard's chest. He felt as Shepard rubbed his back as he held onto him, reaching up and wiping the tears from Ethan's eyes.

"Ethan, I'm sure your family loved you very much. They haven't forgotten about you, and I don't think they ever can. Your going to live within their hearts for the rest of their lives, never forget that." Shepard said as Ethan leaned back from the embrace and pressed his hands into his eyes, wiping the tears away.

"Why..are you still up?" Ethan asked, trying to diffuse the tension between the two as he began to sniffle.

"I couldn't sleep still so I decided to stay up and have Glyph help me with some paperwork I had to file for the Normandy's repairs." Shepard responded as he sat on the edge of Ethan's bed. Ethan looked back up at him, smiling at Shepard as he took a long sigh.

"Thanks for being there...I'm going to try and go back to bed, I've still got EDI coming in the morning." Ethan said as he watched Shepard nod his head before standing back up and making his way towards the doorway once more.

"Ethan, if you ever need anything, just ask. I'm here for you." Shepard said as he turned his head to look at Ethan before walking out of the room.

"Is there anything I can do for you Mr. Morgan?" Glyph said as he hovered there over the floor, the bright blue light where Glyphs 'eye' was still looking at him with curiosity.

"Actually, can you look up a song for me?" Ethan asked as Glyph hovered over to his side and stopped right in front of Ethan, casting a blue glow onto his green one.

"Of course Mr. Morgan. What song would you like me to search for?" Glyph asked as it hovered there, Ethan looking down to think for a moment.

"It's a song my mother use to sing to me. It's called Now We Are Free, by Lisa Gerrard." Ethan said as he recounted the nights his mother would sit up on the edge of his bed and run her fingers through his hair while she sung to him.

"Would you like me to download the song for future use Mr. Morgan?" Glyph asked as Ethan looked back up with a smile and nodded his head. Ethan laid back down in bed as Glyph's color dimmed down, grabbing on of the pillows and holding it to his side. Ethan laid there for a few moments, his eyes open as he listen to the beginning of the song begin to play. A soft violin was at work as Ethan heard the woman begin to hymn a few notes. Ethan closed his eyes as he imagined his mothers fingers running through his hair, her soft voice still fresh in his memories. He could feel sleep coming fast once more as a simple memory invaded his memory. Ethan smiled to himself as he thought back to the days he would run through the valley fields, his mother wearing her sun dress as she chased after him, both of them laughing under the warm sun. He remembered how he would always fall and roll across the ground as his mother knelt down and picked him back up, spinning him through the air with loving smiles on both of their faces.

Samantha's POV

Samantha Morgan sat up in bed, her mind racing as she looked over at her still sleeping husband. She felt a chill run through her spine as she looked over at the window where the moon's light cast down shadows from the outside. She reached over at her nightstand and grabbed a picture of Ethan that she had been keeping close to her since he had disappeared. She ran her fingers over the glass and frame before pressing it to her chest, a few tears moving down her cheeks as she tried to stifle her body movements to prevent waking up Ross. Samantha slowly threw her feet over the edge of the bed as she got up and walked out of the room, closing the door quietly behind her. She tiptoed down the stairs before making her way through the kitchen and then opening up the backdoor. Samantha's ears were met with a chorus of bugs and wind chimes as she stepped out into the backyard. She saw the swing they had hanging over on the tree as she walked over to it and sat down, feeling as the wind picked up the trim of her nightgown. Samantha sat down on the old swing, listening to the branches of the tree creak above her as she looked up at the moon and stars.

"Your not alone ya know, you don't have to suffer by yourself." came a familiar voice as Samantha looked over and saw Jane standing there in the yard looking at her. Samantha felt a few tears run down her cheeks as she held out her arms and let Jane walk into them as she embraced her daughter. She choked back sobs as Jane stood there and held her mother, slowly rubbing her moms back.

"Mom...I don't want to lose you too." Jane said, a few tears of her own running down her cheeks as Jane held onto her mother with a strong grip.

"How did you know?" Samantha asked as she leaned back and looked up into Jane's young eyes.

"I remember when I was younger and you were very sick for a long time. Dad told me what was going on, he didn't want you to know I knew. How bad is it mom?" Jane asked, watching as her mother slowly looked away and shook her head.

"Mom...I can't lose you too!" Jane said as she knelt down and held onto her mother, crying into Samantha's shoulders as her mother held onto her. Samantha ran her fingers through Jane's hair as she had down a thousand times before, kissing Jane's temple as she looked up at the moon.

"I know sweetie...I know. I wish this time could be different...but there isn't anything mommy can do anymore. I'm so tired Jane...so tired." Samantha said as Jane cried into her nightgown, the sweet scent of her lavender perfume still clinging on from the day.

"Mom...I can't lose both Ethan and you too!" Jane said as her mother stood up and pulled her daughter into a standing position as she let Jane look into her eyes, pushing back some of her hair behind her ears.

"Listen to me honey, we've got to make the most of the time I have left on this world. Time couldn't be anymore precious than it is now, promise me you'll make every moment last?" Samantha asked as she stared into her daughters deep brown eyes. Jane nodded her head as Samantha finally let a sob break free as she brought her daughter back into a embrace, holding onto her tightly.

"Soon mommy will be able to make sure your brother isn't getting into any trouble and be able to watch out for your father and you." Samantha said between sobs, looking off into the stars and beyond as she cried with Jane.
