"Hate to break what could be a beautiful sappy moment, but you have a son?" Shepherd said.
I nodded.
"I lost custody after the divorce, haven't come to visit since then cause my life got busy." I said hoping shepherd would catch on to the last bit.
I said 'my life got busy.' cause I couldn't just say I started exploring space two years later.
"Benny! I beet the..." The boy I that just appeared at the top of the stairs trailed off seeming to absorb what was going on. "So... What did I miss?"
Benny smiled as Ethan descended the stairs to stand next to him.
"Mom this is Ethan my best friend for almost ten years." He said with his hand in front of the dark haired boy who just waved. "And Ethan this is my mom."
I smiled and waved, then reached out my hand for the boy to shake. But what happened when he did was unexpected; It was as if he had lost his breath, he stared idly at the wall for almost half a minute. Benny shocked at Ethan then confused at me.
"Ethan?" I said.
Ethan looked around as if finally aware that he was acting odd.
"Oh sorry, I have this condition, it's sort of like seizures. I'm sorry for blanking out on you." He replied.
"Where do these go? And is anybody going to introduce me?" Shepherd asked.
Evelyn walked over to John and started pulling on the bags in his hand.
"I'll take these why don't you five make yourselves comfortable in the living room." She said finally able to pry the bags from his hand.
Benny lead the way to the living room just around the corner.
"Thank you for the hospitality." Beckett said sitting down.
Benny shrugged.
"Its no big deal, and sorry about the mess. If you don't mind Ethan and I are going to have a private talk for a moment."
Right after he said this he dragged Ethan into the hall way and out of sight.
"What was that all about?" Carson asked.
I shook my head.
"I don't know, Benny seemed surprised when Ethan did that seizure thing, but somehow it seemed as if it connected to me somehow." I said still trying to wrap my mind around it.
I leaned back in the recliner I was currently sitting in. John and Beckett had snagged the couch.
"You think thats weird." John said looking at the tv probably contemplating whether to turn it on or not. "That old lady, was REALLY strong. but she definitely didnt have that much muscle."
"One things for sure, I don't think we're the only ones who are keeping secrets."
"What did you see? Please tell me she's not a vampire or anything like that." Benny said concern written all over his face.
Ethan shook his head.
"No, they didn't seem to be special in any way in the vision. There was a big round thing they came out of, like a portal, and they talked about how good it was to be home... and... and..." Ethan stuttered still not sure if he should trust his vision.
"Spit it out." Benny said getting impatient.
"And how sometimes it was good to get away from... atlantis."
AN: What do you think!? and name suggestions would be lovely.
