Alex was happy to be home, to be free of the Romulan getup and free from the Romulans themselves. Even though her wrist was taken care of, the memories of what happened haunted her as she caught herself rubbing her wrist once again. She shrugged it off.

"PAUL?!" she called, "Are you home?" There was no answer. She figured that he was off with Racheal. She was so tired so she took a shower to get the Romulan smell off of her and figured that this was a great time to sleep.

Laying on her bed, she started to drift off when the door chime went off. Alex sighed as she got up out of bed. Putting on a robe, she answered the door. There standing was Vincent with Raivyn in his arms and Brandon next to him.

"Alex, sorry to bother you but I am in a pickle. I really need your help." Vincent looked like a lost puppy dog, "I wouldn't bother you if I didn't need to."

Alex stood there looking at the kids, both looking at her, their eyes pleading along with their father,'Come in." She waited for them to enter. Brandon sat down on the couch, "What's wrong?"

Vincent took a breath, "I am leaving on a shuttle to Earth to meet with another writer. I have been waiting for this opportunity for a very long time. This is a once in a lifetime chance, one that will never be offered to me again. I've discussed this with Deela and she is behind me one hundred percent. I need to get packed and make arrangements to meet the guy. I can't do it with the kids."

"I see." She looked at the two kids again. Raivyn was yawning and rubbing her eyes and Brandon was kicking his feet, looking a bit bored. Alex really wanted to sleep but Deela had been so wonderful to her that she couldn't turn him down, "Sure. The Vanguard should be on her way here as well."

"Thank you Alex. They've eaten but nether have taken their naps."

Alex smiled, "It's okay. I'll take one with them." Vincent kept looking at her, "It's fine, go, go. They're on good hands."

Vincent sighed a sigh of relief, "Okay. I probably won't see you before I leave. Thank you. You're a good friend." Vincent handed Raivyn to Alex and then turned and left. Alex looked at Brandon, "Well Brandon, it looks like it's just the three of us, well at least until Paul gets back, if he gets back."

Alex took Brandon by the hand, "You can sleep in here." She helped him climb in Paul's bed. She carried Raivyn into her room, put a pillow on the side of the bed and laid her on the bed next to it. She laid down next to her. Alex drifted off for a bit. Brandon walked into the room and tugged on Alex. She opened her eyes to see Brandon staring at her. "Come on up." Brandon climbed on the bed and made himself at home. Once again, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
