So some of you, *cough* Amie*cough*, wanted me to continue this story, and I know this chapter isn't very good, but it is a filler and I wrote it up in an hour. All mistakes are mine and I would really like reviews. Tell me if you like, don't like it, if I should add anything. Suggestions are always welcome. Also there is not as much Maddy/Mark fluff here because I had to get a lot of the plot points done. Enjoy.

She screamed, her black hair getting in her eyes as another labor pain crashed into her. She breathed heavily as she watched the waves outside the cave she was holed up in.

Alicia Washington clutched the medical kit Carter had left her with. She owed him a lot, from saving her to leaving the sixers with her, bringing her here, especially since she was going to be tortured by Lucas.

"Licia," He gasped when he walked into the cave, "The baby shouldn't be here yet."

"Good, God, he's a Taylor, they are all stubborn," the last part came out as a groan when another contraction started.

"It's okay, Your lucky that I've done this before." Carter grinned and laid her back a bit. Alicia scowled at him as he laid out blankets and grabbed a bowl full of water for her.

She huffed again and clutched the wall of the cave, beginning her push, as Carter helped get her child into the world. She felt like she'd been beaten then ran for hours when she finally heard the wail of a baby, and opened her eyes to the most magnificent sight she ever saw.

Carter held a tiny person and cooed softly placing him in the bowl and gently washing him of the blood and other substances that cover the baby. She reached out the moment he was swaddled and looked at his face.

"Congrats Lic, It's a boy, and definitely a Taylor." He smiled as a tear ran down her cheek, her son suckled at her bosom before falling asleep. "You did good Lic, get some rest." He said and sat next to her, letting her use him as a pillow.

"He's so handsome," Alicia mumbled as she fell asleep as well.

Three years later

Maddy watched Alicia run from her aunt Zoe from the kitchen. Running into the area, she hid behind her mother, gently curled, midnight hair disheveled from the flight.

"Mommy, Mommy, save me." The little girl clung to her mother's legs causing the older two to laugh. Maddy scooped up her three year old daughter and ran away from Zoe, who promptly chased after.

"Oh no, run faster, Mommy." The child cried as her aunt reached out for her.

All three girls stopped when they heard the front door to the Reynolds house open. "Pappy!" The girl wiggled from her mother's arms and ran to her grandfather, the proud Commander Taylor who lifted her up.

"Hello little one," Nathaniel smiled widely. She shared a special bond with the old man, not because he is just her grandfather, but because the day she was born she wasn't far from him often. She was always around the command center and the other soldiers even called her lieutenant, and saluted her, though she never understood why.

"Pappy, will you save me from the big bad monsters?" The little girl pointed to her mother and aunt making Taylor smiled turned on his heel, as bad smelling as he was, and took off.

The giggling girl was placed on Nathaniel's shoulders and they took off, being chased. Those they passed smiled or laughed at their stoic Commander playing with the child so happily.

Stopping to catch his breath after running across Terra Nova, he set her down and took her hand as he walked her to Washington Monument. The great statue of the woman stood looking over their home always facing towards the direction of the rising sun.

"Why is the pretty lady looking that way? Does she like the sea?" The little girl would ask and he always responded in kind.

"She looks towards the rising sun to remind us that no matter what, we are strong and that with darkness always comes light." He glanced at her awe filled face. Alicia let go of her Pappy's hand and climbed up on the pedestal to hug the stone soldier's leg, even though her small body allowed her to reach the soldiers knee.

"Thank you." She smiled at the previous Alicia and, with the help of her Pappy, got of the pedestal. By the time they turned around to see Maddy and Zoe staring at the scene with sad smiles.

"Marks back and so is my father, so we should get ready for dinner." Maddy said softly and took her daughters free hand, Zoe holding her other one.

The moment Maddy had become six months pregnant, Nathaniel had her moved into a vacant housing unit next to his, so he would be close to his Granddaughter, and now became very prominent in the Shannon family.

They arrived at the Shannon house with smiles, Mark answering the door and pulling his daughter into his arms and smiling at his wife and sister in law, even his semi-official father.

Everyone greeted each other and Skye let Alicia hold her new cousin Rory Shannon. Zoe and Alicia fawned over the baby boy as Maddy and Mark spoke quietly, but happily.

"Where's Josh?" Elizabeth asked as her and her husband set the table.

"He said he was picking something up. You know, since he became the sheriff's deputy he has really turned his life around." Skye said taking her son into her arms to feed before he fell asleep.

The door opened and Skye smiled at him, "You're late."

He smiled and rushed forward, kissing her deeply in front of everyone to convey how sorry he was. "Am I forgiven?" He whispered with his mouth against her's.

"Yes," She leaned back to adjust her child and looked at her eldest sister-in-law. "Isn't there something you want to share?"

Maddy nodded and smiled, "Mark, I'm pregnant." The room was shocked before Elizabeth squealed and hugged her, before Mark pulled her into a hug.

"Mommy, what does pregnant mean?" Alicia asked with a frown on her face. Mark bent down and picked her up so she could see her mother eye to eye.

"It means that you will have a baby sister or brother soon." Alicia smiled at the thought of having another child in the house.

The rest of the evening was filled with talk of futures and babies.

Alicia and Carter watched Nathaniel Jr. play in the sand, making forts. He was finally old enough for them to travel, when Alicia had learned that they were on the other side of the continent from Terra Nova.

They had slowly made their way to the settlement, but they had trouble when it came to moving with a child and hiding from dangerous dinosaurs.

She was jumpy and excited. They were a day's walk from Terra Nova, and she couldn't wait to see her son's father. Carter was a loyal friend, though she did learn that he was attracted to a certain female corporal.

"Ready to face them?" he asked her, his eyes never leaving the child he has come to see as his nephew.

"Never, but it has to happen." The swelling in her face had gone down when she healed from the bullet wound, now the only evidence of her battle for survival was a small round, barely visible scar on her forehead. Her son looked up at her, blond hair short after the recent cut she did and blue eyes shining.

"Are we going to see dad tomorrow?" His angelic features glowing in the warm sun. Alicia nodded and spread her arms to him. He crawled into her lap and snuggled against her. "Can't wait."

"Me either." She stroked his head and took him to the tree they were sleeping in for the night and fell asleep, dreaming of her man.

Maddy walked with Alicia in the orchards, the little girl held a red apple in one hand and her mother's in the other. She scanned the area again and saw a moving statue. She let go of her mother's hand and ran for the gate of Terra Nova.

Maddy tried to catch her, but the little girl was just out of her grasp, she yelled for the Commander to stop the child as she ran through the gates.

Alicia sprinted with all her might to the woman at the edge of the tree line. Smiling and huffing at her. Behind her stood a little boy with the blondest hair she ever saw.

"I'm Alicia," she said and smiled at the boy who slid further behind his own mother.

"I'm Alicia too, and this is Nathaniel Jr." The woman said and waved at her son before pointing at the man next to her, "and this is Carter, my friend."

"Alicia!" Maddy yelled as Nathaniel passed her and scooped the child into his arms before he froze.

"Hello Nathaniel," Alicia Washington said and felt her son hide behind her completely, her smile was gentle, but her eyes said she was nervous. "You good Commander?"

He passed his granddaughter to Maddy when she caught up and grabbed Wash. His lips were desperate and warm as he pressed them to her's.

She kissed him just as passionately, a tear streaking down her face. The last time that had happened was when she saw her son for the very first time. When they finally parted for air, he kept her against him, arm wrapped around her waist. He reached out and shook Carter's hand when she told him about Carter rescuing her.

"Sir, I want you to meet someone." She turned her head to see her son looking at her with curiosity, "Nathaniel meet Nathaniel Jr."

The Commander kissed her forehead then knelt to the child, "Hello, young man."

"Sir, are you my dad?" the boy asked with matching blue eyes. Taylor looked at Wash and she nodded.

"Yes." He picked the boy up and placed him on his shoulder. Alicia huffed and reached for the Commander herself.

"Pappy," She whined and smiled when he reached out and, with the help of Maddy, placed her on his other shoulder.

"Wash," Maddy hugged her, crying happily, "We always thought you died. This is amazing."

"Why is she calling him 'Pappy'?"

"Long story, we'll have dinner." Maddy said and Carter broke in.

"Good, I'm starving," making everyone laugh as they walked to the gates.

The moment the sentries saw Wash, they yelled down into the Market and by the time she was at the command center the whole of Terra Nova had come to greet her. She smiled and nodded, thankful that the Commander told them to give her space.

Alicia Washington stayed at his side, like she had years before, only with a child on her hip.

"Wash!" Zoe Shannon and Leah Marcos ran into the room and hugged her, her son staring at the seven year olds. She introduced them and let them play with him while she talked to Elizabeth you prodded her health and integrated her about the last three years.

She was tightly hugged by The rest of the Shannons and many soldiers. By the end of the day she was hugged by every single person in Terra Nova, and very tired.

"Wanna go home?" Nathaniel asked with a smile, holding a sleeping Junior. She smiled and took his hand happy to get home for the first time in three years.
