"This is John," he said as he picked him up and cradled his head. "He's such a small version thing and a human being made by Sam and I." It was still mind blowing to him but he was adjusting. "You two are going to be in love when your baby arrives, I promise that." Alice SeraphimLucas Roberts/ Sam Roberts |

Ace did sound like many a proud papa and they'd have the same love when it was their turn. So she'd have a nephew to probally spoil in the future. Alice smiled looking happy to see to the baby properly. "He is so small but he won't stay that way for long. Also so cute" she cheerfully replied. She didn't know babies but she know how fast other children grew up including herself having been of several captive oddities in that lab when she was seven. "Dinner should be about 30 minutes so who else wants tea, coffee, water or sodas?" she posed. Lucas RobertsAce NottinghamSam Roberts |

Thirty minutes? Sam was trying to think when was the last time she spent thirty minutes anywhere and felt as uncomfortable as she did and still she did not know. "Okay I will just talk about the elephant in the room. Does no one else feel like it's completely awkward in here between me and Lucas? I mean it's clear that he is avoiding me and I get why, but can we not just move on and be some weird family dynamic?"

He was fine as he heard his name and his face took a few seconds to camoflauge in. "Sam we have nothing to work out you went and joined the gang, had a baby by and no disrespect Ace but a complete stranger and now you are back. Any brother would be proud of that," he said. He knew that sometimes people could expect too much but he wanted more for his sister. "I just want to feel like you will make good decisions going foward especially having a child now."

Ace started to say something but he was right. "I agree," he said. He could read family dynamics enough to know that the last thing that he needed to do was to add to this one. "We don't know each other and it is because of that very fact that this is extremely awkward for me so I do think that as the night goes on, we should all just forget what we do and do not know and just be ourselves."

Family awkwardness was everywhere and this family was no exception. She understood both the situation from both sides as Sam needed to continue to be free to do what she wanted. A baby of their own on the way would focus the situation where at some point there would be cousins on play dates and then growing up together. If they’re still a rift that might not happen. She had to admit that Ace was right and things would just need to play out over dinner. She had a question for Ace. Partly business as she kept working in the kitchen area to put the final touches to the pasta bake before it slid into the oven. “Ace, how is Blythe getting on? Our last mission got a bit rough and I was worried about her”. Ace Nottingham Sam RobertsLucas Roberts |

He was actually surprised at himself for having such self control and more than that maturity for a conversation and situation like this and that was how Ace knew that he was already maturing. It was an icky feeling but he did have a kid now. "Blythe is tough, she is okay, would you like for me to tell her that you asked about her?" Sam RobertsLucas RobertsAlice Seraphim |

Sam took a second. "Look Lucas I do not want us to be the type of people who can never get along especially if you guys are going to have a baby too, so how about we just say that we were children and we did not know any better and just be perhaps a normal family. I have no idea how normal it would be but some of the people I have seen here are messed up so maybe we can be as close to normal as we all know."

As a person who did believe in science and experiments he knew that a lot of it came down to what people wanted and that there were going to be mistakes too but mistakes had to be corrected. "I do like the idea of that, if Ace and Alice do too." He knew that he had not see anywhere near as much on the island but he did not want to be a drama filled family now or ever though he knew bumps in the road were to be expected.

Alice’s reply to Ace just wasn’t about professional courtesy. She knew what a female officer went through on the front line. You had to work longer and harder to get what the guys took for granted. Now she was pregnant she felt she’d loose that respect she’d earned but she’d still be just as driven till the day she went on maternity leave. “I would appreciate that and she should be valued in your organisation if she isn’t already”. Then she turned back to her boyfriend and Sam. “I do want a normal family dynamic as we can get. So we can support each other right now and in years to come” she replied. That was crucial” to her since she had no family to fall back on. Her only chance was here and now. Lucas RobertsSam RobertsAce Nottingham |

It honestly did Ace good to know that not every family had to be messed up. He knew that he could not always say that it would stay that way but for now it seemed that Sam and Lucas were okay with the idea which made him smile which was odd honestly.

Sam was never the type to fight with anyone who did not pick a fight with her first so she simply thought that this would be good. "Normal after a few years of not being does not sound too bad," she said. She looked at Ace. "You are always eating," she said as she laughed. It was genuine but she did not do falling in love.

"I think if we just talk, get to know one another, throw in a fun adventure from time to time then that is what makes family. Will our activities have to be a little more kid friendly? That is a given but it does not mean that we can not learn how to be a family again and with the new people in our family, eventually be a real family something maybe the four of us needs more than we realize."

Alice figured that Ace would need to check what she’d put in the pasta bake but it would still take that long to cook. So suggested “we have crackers and goats cheese if you can’t wait. This will still take 30 minutes to bake”. Men and their stomachs. Ace was even getting this from Sam too. So she made up a tray with ice filled glasses and bottles of sparkling water and tinned sodas. They still did have alcohol if somebody wanted a drink. A bit of normality did sound good to her. Still being the hostess to this unexpected dinner and pulling it off. Then carried it out to the dining table. Ace NottinghamSam RobertsLucas Roberts |

"I can wait," he said as he looked around at this. "Okay guys honestly I have seen a little bit of strange things in my time but this is the first perhaps quiet, normal, and good thing that I have seen in months. I mean it's not enough to restore my faith in humanity but it is slightly working for just knowing it could be more normal around here." Sam RobertsLucas RobertsAlice Seraphim |
