Hi, I know it's been a looooooonggg time. I was so devistated by the end of Terra Nova that I couldn't find the inspiration to finish this fic. But, with Terra Nova the T.V series gone i thought that it could live on through fan fics :) So here we go, i know it's short but it's a start.

" 'The' Lieutenant Alicia Washington! This is some sick joke right? Tell me this is all a dream." Mark plead, shocked by the news he'd just received.

"She is your biological mother Mark." she stated "Do you want to sit down and talk about? She knows that her son is in Terra Nova but she doesn't know who you are. I thought that I'd leave that up to you if you want to tell her or not, or if you want me to tell her."

"I cannot believe this." He said shooting up from his sitting position on the sofa and pacing directing his attention to the floor. "She can't be, it's impossible. My mother was raped and that resulted in me being born. The Lieutenant would have told me if anything like that had..." he paused trying to remember something that she had said when the rover had flipped. "Oh my g... I was trying to keep her awake when she was hurt in the rover, I told her about what happened with my mum and dad and how I ended up in foster care. She said she understood why mother did what she did, and that it it was more common than I thought for a woman to give up their child to get anyway from what happened to them. I should have clicked on, not only did she say that but she also said that she had a baby and had to give it up due to 'the circumstances'. How could I have been so stupid, I even look a bit like her for heaven sakes."

"Mark don't beat yourself up about it. Alicia maybe didn't tell you she was raped because she was ashamed, rape victims don't tend to like talking about the ordeal they've been through. They just lock it up and hope that it goes away, when the truth is it just lingers and eats away at them. You've had your foster parents to help you through life. Who has Alicia had?" With that Mark took his previous seat opposite Elizabeth again.

"What should I do?" Mark asked.

"She really wants to know who her son is. Do you want me to tell her?"

"No." Mark stated.

"If that's what you..." she was interrupted.

"I'll tell her myself."

When Elizabeth entered her office she was greeted by a nervous Lieutenant and a beaming Commander. Both were sitting on stools opposite each other, Elizabeth's couldn't help but grin at the sight on the commander holding both Alicia's hands in his.

"Glad to see you've both settled your issues." Elizabeth said. A small smile formed on Alicia's face only for it to quickly vanish when Elizabeth approached them. "I spoke to your son Alicia."

'Your son' she thought to herself. She never thought those words would be directed to her, she suddenly felt the urge to cry again but held her composure to hear what the doctor had to say.

"He's here and wants to speak to you. I must stress that he's in shock, just take things slow okay." Alicia stood from her seated position and enveloped the doctor into a hug.

"I don't know how to thank you Elizabeth. I would never have known that my son was in Terra Nova if it wasn't for you. If there is ever anything I can do for you, promise me you'll ask. "

" Don't worry about that." Elizabeth stated. She averted her gaze to the commander. "Would you follow me out so that we can leave Alicia to meet her son, I think it'll be best if they met alone first." The commander replied with a nod and followed the doctor. As he passed Alicia he brushed his hand over her shoulder to try and ease the nervousness that he knew she was feeling. With the door closing Alicia clasped her hands together behind her back to try and steady her hands from shaking. She couldn't remember the last time she felt this kind of fear. Her hands never shook when in battle she was so focused on staying alive and concentrating on the mission that she never had the time to feel fear.

The Commander and Doctor exited the room. Mark Reynolds passed both of them and was about to enter the room in which Alicia was waiting.

"Mark!" The commander called, attracting the young soldiers attention. "The Lieutenant is waiting for someone at the minute. Why don't you pop by later?"

"I know she is Sir. It's me she's waiting for." Mark said with a smile opening the door and entering, leaving a gob-smacked commander fixed in the place he stood.
