"Thanks, Mary. I'm glad you think so." says Alison.

"You're welcome, Ali. It's clear that you do a good job as mother to lil' Caitlin. I'm proud of you." says Mary.

"Nice of you to say that. My daughter means a lot to me. I'd never do anything to hurt her." says Alison.

"I know. I never thought you'd be evil again. That side of your personality are ancient history by now." says Mary.

"So true. These days I'm a sweet woman. Evil Alison is long gone and she'll never return." says Alison.

"Good. Jessica would have been so proud if she'd been here now." says Mary.

She is...right here, in my heart." says Alison as she put her hand over her heart and smile.

"Yeah, that's true." says Mary.

"I miss her a lot. She was awesome." says Alison.

"She was..." says Mary in a sad tone.

"Sorry. You're absolutely great too." says Alison.

"Thanks, but I wasn't sad because I felt left out. I miss Jessica too. Despite the fact that she and I didn't always get along that well, she was still my sister and I did love her even though I sometimes seemed like I never did." says Mary.

"Oh, okay. I'm glad you don't hate mom anymore." says Alison.

"Jessica know that I love her. I fortunately told her that before her death." says Mary.

"I'm glad you managed to mend things with mom while she was still alive." says Alison.

"Yeah, so am I, for sure. It would have been such a pain to see Jessica leave her mortal life without having told her how I feel." says Mary.

"She's probably lookin' down on us right now." says Alison.

"I hope so." says Mary.

"Mom's probably happy to see you and me getting along so good." says Alison.

"Yes." says Mary.

The next day.

"Ali, if you want to spend your day off doing something 'fun' with your husband, I could look after Caitlin." says Mary.

"Thanks, that's sweet of you, but Steve's not havin' a day off today so he don't have time for any 'fun' things." says Alison.

"Okay." says Mary.

"I was gonna take Caitlin to the park later and you're welcome to join us." says Alison.

"No, thanks. I think I'd rather write another poem today and watch some old movies." says Mary.

"Alright, suit yourself. If you change your mind, just let me know." says Alison.

"Sure." says Mary.

Alison eat some of her ice cream.

"How rude of me...do you want some too?" says Alison.

"No thanks. I'm fine." says Mary.

"Okay." says Alison as she eat some more ice cream.

"Ali, not to be rude, but why didn't you end up with Emily? Things seemed so good between you and her..." says Mary.

"You're not rude and well...it turned out that Em and I were better as friends than as something else, despite that the opposite did appear to be the truth." says Alison.

"I understand." says Mary.

"And when I met Steve, I knew I'd found my man so I went for him in every way." says Alison. "He's truly the one for me."

"I'm glad you have a good husband and a cute daughter." says Mary.

"Why didn't you ever marry someone?" says Alison.

"I never found anyone who I fell in love with enough to wanna spend my life with." says Mary.

"That's fine, I guess. You seem happy even though you're an elderly single lady." says Alison.

"Yes. After I was able to leave the mental hospital, my life has been pretty good. I got to know my daughter, you and I got to know my sister again." says Mary.

"You're a good person, Mary. You really are." says Alison.

"Are you sure? I almost killed Charlie..." says Mary. "I almost killed my...my...my own daughter."

Mary starts to cry.

"Almost, yes, but you didn't 'cause you love her. It's okay." says Alison.

"Thanks. Nice of you to try to comfort me..." says Mary.

"I care about you. You're my aunt." says Alison.

"Mommy! Can you help me find my stuffie kitten? I don't know where she is..." says Caitlin as she enter the room.

"Of course, sweetie." says Alison.

Alison get up from her chair.

Caitlin and Alison walk to Caitlin's bedroom.

"Okay. Let's see..." says Alison as she starts to search for Caitlin's pink plush kitten.

After only a couple minutes, she finds it under the bed.

"Look who's here." says Alison as she hands the plush kitten to Caitlin.

"Yay! My kitten." says a happy Caitlin.

"Remember to look everywhere next time, girl." says Alison with a sweet smile.

"Yes, mommy." says Caitlin as she giggle a bit.

"You really love your plushies, don't you?" says Alison.

"I do. They are adorable." says Caitlin.

"So are you, sweetie." says Alison.

"Thanks, mommy!" says a happy Caitlin.

The next day.

"Daddy. Please make me a sandwich." says Caitlin.

"Of course, girl." says Steve as he makes a fruit sandwich for Caitlin.

"Thanks." says Caitlin.

"Here you go, little girl." says Steve as he gives Caitlin a tropical fruit sandwich.

"Yay! Thanks, dad." says Caitlin.

Caitlin love tropical fruit sandwiches.

"I hope it is yummy." says Steve.

Caitlin takes a big bite of her sandwich and says "It is super yummy!"

"I'm glad you like it." says Steve.

"Fruit sandwich is always awesome." says Caitlin.

"Okay." says Steve.

Caitlin take her sandwich with her up to her room.

"Hi, stuffies!" says a happy Caitlin to all of her cute plush animals.

"Hi, Caitlin!" says a voice.

Caitlin turn around and sees Alison enter the room.

"Mommy!" says a happy Caitlin.

"Hi, sweetie. I see your daddy's made you a sandwich. Nice." says Alison.

"Yeah, it's sooo yummy." says Caitlin as she take a bite of her fruit sandwich.

"I'm glad you love fruit. It's healthy for you, girl." says Alison.

"Yay! Cool." says Caitlin.

"See you later, sweetie. I'm gonna make dinner now." says Alison.

"Can me help?" says Caitlin.

"Sweetie, not this time. You should spend time with your stuffies." says Alison.

"Okay." says a happy Caitlin as he eat the last of her sandwich and then starts to play with a few stufed animals.

Alison leave the room.

"Awwww! Stuffies!" says Caitlin as she play with her plush animals.

The next day.

"Mommy...my stuffie panda's hurt..." says Caitlin as she enter the kitchen with her plush panda in one hand.

There's a huge tear in the tummy of the plush panda.

"Awww! This can be fixed." says Alison as she grab the plush panda.

2 hours later.

"Here, sweetie. Your panda bear, all healed again." says Alison as she gives the panda plushie to Caitlin.

Alison has repaired the plush panda.

"Yay! Thanks, mom." says a happy Caitlin.

"No problem, sweetie." says Alison.

"Awww! Penny Panda." says Caitlin as she gives her plush panda a hug.

"So that's her name?" says Alison.

"Yeah, this is Penny Panda." says Caitlin with an adorable smile.

"Awww! She's cute." says Alison.

"Thanks, mommy!" says a happy Caitlin.

"You're welcome." says Alison.

The next day.

"Mommy...what's for food tonight?" says Caitlin.

"Sushi. I know that both you and I love that." says Alison.

"Yay!" says a happy Caitlin.

"If you want to you can help me out in the kitchen, girl." says Alison.

"Yay! Me wanna help you, mom." says Caitlin.

"Okay. Nice." says Alison.

"You're awesome." says Caitlin.

"Thanks, sweetie." says Alison.

Caitlin follows Alison into the kitchen.

"Hmm, first we need rice. Please, get the rice for me." says Alison.

Caitlin goes and grab the bag of rice that she know where it is.

Caitlin is happy. She love to help her mother with the food.

"Here, mommy." says Caitlin as she hands her mother the rice.

"Thanks. Let's see...we also need some fish." says Alison.

"Me get it for you, mommy." says Caitlin.

Caitlin open the freezer and grabs the pack of fish and hands it to her mommy.

Alison unwrap the fish from the plastic bags it was trapped in and then place the fish in the microwave.

3 minutes later.

"Perfect." says Alison as she take the fish out of the microwave. She then grab a big sharp knife and starts to slice the fish into cubes of a nice size.

"What's next...?" says Caitlin.

"Can you hand me the sea-weed, the sauce and the spices?" says Alison.

"Yes, mom." says Caitlin as grab the sea-weed, the sauce and the spices and gives it to Alison.

"Thanks, sweetie." says Alison as she starts to mix the spices.

50 minutes later dinner is ready.

"Caitlin, help me set the table in the dining room." says Alison.

"Yes, mommy." says Caitlin.

"So it's not casual day today?" says Steve as he enter the kitchen.

"Today it is fancy time, like it usually is." says Alison.

"I like that, babe." says Steve.

"Awww! Thanks." says Alison with a sweet smile.

Alison and Caitlin walk to the dining room and sets the table.

2 hours later, after the dinner, Caitlin play video games in the living room.

"Did you hear from Charlotte?" says Steve.

"Yeah, she'll stop by here next week." says Alison.

"I assume she found the third item then." says Steve.

"She did, yes. It was hidden in Germany." says Alison.

"Okay. I'll inform Major Lesterson tomorrow." says Steve.
