Jake praised the heavens every moment they weren't  captured or worse. He didn't want to get too comfortable here but it was hard not to with it being his hometown.

 Life was perfect with Del by his side. He could do without arabella's attitude. They were all in the same boat. All she wanted to do was sleep since they arrived here. She ate very little. She kept herself locked in the bedroom or went out on the beach to stare at the ocean. 

He was pretty sure she stole his phone but he didn't want to start anything by blaming her. He let it go and got a new one. He also brought her some prenatal vitamins his mother got for her. She accepted them without a word. 

Today he was out on the back patio. It was small but it faced the ocean. He was putting meat on the grill and he spoke to del. "I. Since ive met you and touched you, i have learned much about your vocal cords. If you trust me, i think i can fix it sometime."

Delphi was enjoying her time in Tampa, for being on the run from the MRD it really shouldn't have been so enjoyable but it was so different from what she was used to. Her favorite part was the beach, she loved walking on the sand in her bare-feet, going out at night and laying on a blanket and looking at the stars, and she loved being with Jake, more than anything else.

The only thing that was upsetting her was Bella. She felt like her best friend hated her, and whenever she tried to have conversation she would get snapped at. She knew her friend was going through a lot and she just wanted to help her, she missed seeing Arabella smile but she couldn't blame her for being the way she was, she was pregnant and... The whereabouts of her brother and Chris were unknown. If she was in Bells position she'd be the same way.

Delphi sat at the picnic table watching Jake put the meat on the grill, she missed her books, she'd love to be able to read and watch the ocean, but her lack of books had Delphi doodling a picture on a scrap piece of paper. Delphi looked up when Jake spoke to her and she put her pencil down on the table. She was at a total loss for words, the sheer thought of her having a voice was.... Unbelievable. She was born with broken vocal chords, the doctors had offered ways to fix her chords but they were all either life threatening or would leave her sounding wrong. She always wondered what her voice would sound like. She looked up at Jake with big blue eyes, "You aren't joking right? If you are then that's really mean and you shouldn't do that... The doctors said I'd never be able to have a normal voice.." She loved Jake and she trusted him but her voice was a sensitive topic.

Arabella came out of her room with a bowl she used for porridge earlier in the day. Her belly was pushing the limits of chris's. Shirt. It was what she was wearing when they left. 

She put her bowl in the sink and rinsed it off. Afterwards she grabbed a water bottle from the fridge and headed back yo the bedroom. She looked tired despite all of the sleeping she was doing. She looked at jake and del before disappearing into the bedroom again.

Jake worked the meat on the grill, tossing a piece of raw beef to jax which he thoroughly enjoyed. He shook.some seasonings on the beef and glanced at bells as she glanced at them. She looked bad. They needed to get her to the doctor for a checkup to make both of them were ok. Bells was never the picture of health but she looked sick. They had to find the others. He felt partly responsible for this. 

He focused his attention back to delphi. She seemed upset with his idea. He was a little hurt. He used to be a ladies man. Why were both of them mad at him. He flipped the. Meat and added more to the grill out of habit. "Del, I'm not messing with you. My powers are based on either deconstruction or reconstruction. I can take amything apart or i can rebuild things as long as all of the elements are there. Ive...touched you. I can feel it in there. Your vocal cords. They are like a broken vase. All of the pieces are there they just arent together." He added tin foiled vegetable packs to the grill.

She wasn't mad at Jake, she couldn't be mad at him. She was frustrated, nervous, scared. Having a voice would be life changing, 17 years of her life have been spent being silent and now... She May have a chance at speaking. Of course she was thrilled but the realist inside of her kept telling her every possible thing that could go wrong. She side and flicked back her hair out of her eyes, she was stuck. "When Dori and I were little, he used to tell me that everything would be ok because someday Ursula the sea witch would give me back my voice, he used to say the reason She took it from me was Because it was the prettiest voice in the world. But I wouldn't know how beautiful my voice is because I have never had one! And what if you fix it but I sound wrong?!?" She was in rambling "motor mouth mode" as She mouthed her words to Jake, She trusted him, there was no doubt about that but when it came to her voice.... She didn't know if she could trust anyone to fix it.

Jake flinched. He was at his breaking point. He tossed the grill spatula aside. "Maybe you and Ari should take charge since im doing such a shitastic job. I save her and her baby's life i get the hate treatment. I offer you a voice i get chewed out. Im trying to be nice! Let me know when im out of the dog house!I'm going for a walk!"


He kicked off his shoes and walked off shirtless in board shorts. Jax trailed after.

Delphi bit her lip and fought back tears as She watched Jake walk away, part of her wanted to follow him but maybe he just needed to calm down?
...She never meant to upset Jake. She wanted a voice. She really, really did... But it was just so sudden. She didn't hate Jake, he was probably on edge and she couldn't bla me him.

She stayed sitting at the picnic table and laid her head down on It next to the piece of paper she was doodling pictures of cats, tea cups and a little stick figure version of her and Jake holding hands. She didn't know what she was more upset with right herself for not just simply accepting his offer at the drop of a hat or Jake for not really getting where she was coming from, why she was so scared.

Alec arrived at the bungalow with his boyfriend colton. They were no the worse for wear but they could both easily say they were exhausted at this point. 

He became worried when he walked into a small but empty bungalow. It seemed Ari and the others were no where to be seen. He looked at his boyfriend uneasily. He looked worried. "Where are they? Ari!? Delphi!? Jake? Anyone home!?"

Colton stepped out of the truck and looked around at the outside of the bungalow. Everything seemed to quiet and peaceful to him. The MRD made a big stink about Ari and Chris they should be able to find them easily or maybe they already found them. What if this all was some sort of trick. 

Alec looked at him with uneasy eyes as Colton took in a breath as he looked around. "I don't know Alec...this was the address...I hope we weren't tricked... I hope they didn't get caught.." he said as he grabbed a knife that was hanging from his belt and held it just in case someone was going to kill them brutally.

Ari was awoken from her nap by yelling twice. The second time was the last time. She sat up and swore. Punching the pillow first before akwardly getting out of bed, she swung open the door and and looked around angrily. 

She was rounder looking than before. She also looked exhausted despite all of the sleep she had been getting. She looked like she was ready to kill someone until she realized it was Alec and Colt. 

She made a sound somewhere between a squeak and a cry and rushed up to them. She went right past alec and hugged him as best as she could with her belly in the way. Being the crybaby she was she started to cry.

After some sad doodles sand over thinking what she had said to Jake Delphi decided to leave her spot at the picnic table and venture back inside to go take a nap on the couch.

when she opened the doors to the bungalow She was a little more than surprised to see Alec and Colton there. She didn't know what to do or say so she just stood there blankly her pencil and paper falling out of her hand and falling to the floor. Was that really them? Or was it really aliens who had wiped their memories and taken over their bodies and why was Arabella hugging the possible aliens! She looked somewhere between happy and confused  and the most she could do was let out a small squeak out of surprise and give a small shy wave.

Alec was irritated that after all this time his sister called colt for help and then when they arrived here she hugged him first. He used to be her best pal. What the bloody hell. He knew it was ridiculous but damned if he wasn't still jealous. 

He looked to delphi and opened his arms for a hug. The poor girl looked scared. He hoped it wasn't them scaring her. "C'mon love it's alright. Don't be scared. It's only us. It's ok."

Jake had enough time to calm down on the beach. He calmed down walking with Jax and thinking. Girls called him a player and a man slut. When he actually tried it was still thrown in his face. 

When he made it back to the bungalow he found alec and colt had made it. It only confirmed Bells stole his phone. He would discuss that later. For now he cleaned off the grill tongs he threw and went back to grilling. He smoked a cigarette as he did so.

When Alec spoke to her she knew it was him, the real him not an alien, she didn't know him all that well but she could just tell. The blonde gave a goofy grin, she was being silly before thinking Alec and Colton were aliens (she was always known for having an over - active imagination.) She jetted over to give Alec a hug, when she saw his arms wide open, she was a very huggy person after all, she smiled the whole time, she was glad Colton and Alec were ok and she was hoping the others were safe including her own brother.

Colton smiled as he saw the pregnant girl waddle up to him briskly and give him a hug. However he looked over at Alec and bit his lip. Alec and Ari were blood and here Ari was hugging him first and blowing off her brother. he hoped it wasn't because of what happened to Chris. There was nothing any of the could do. "Good to see that you are okay." he said patting Ari on the head before he gave Delphi a quick hug and walked over to Jake and pulled out a cig and lit it. "Thanks for looking after them." he said to Jake who seemed rather pissed off.

Ari couldnt help feeling incredibly happy. She had been worried sick about the baby, worried sick about colt, and worried about alec. Most of all she was worried about Chris. She had barely spoken to del and not spoken a word to jake at all. She looked out the window and looked back at alec and colt. Hope lit up her face. "Wheres Chris? I cant wait to see him. Is he parking the car?"

Jake stared at the meat he was cooking on the grill. He even had some veggie burgers for delphi. He didn't care about any of that at the moment. He was too angry. It was evident by the muscles straining under his sleeveless shirt. 

"I did everything for them. Both of them. Gave up alot. Almost died. One either ignores me or screams at me. The other one yells at me for offering to help. I've had it up to here with this shit. I didn't do it for the recognition but it would be nice for it to be appreciated."

Alec hugged the little one like she was his own sister. He wouldn't admit it but he missed her as much as Ari. It hurt him that his sister snubbed him for colt but he couldn't be too angry with her. She was alot stronger than he was. If Colt was missing as long as Chris had been and in the situation he was in...alec would have lost his mind long ago. He would destroy everything and anything for Colt.

He looked at Colt longingly through the back patio doors before he answered her. He was ready for the cussing and yelling. "Ari....no one has seen or heard from chris since shit went down at the school. I'm sorry. He's not with us."

Ari froze at the window. Her heart was sinking on the inside. She was happy to have the others. She wanted chris almost more than her parents. She wanted chris, she wanted some kind of movement from Claire. Was she asking for the world?

"Oh..."
She was wearing a pair of shorts, a tanktop stretched to the max over her belly, and a light, knitted beachy sweater. She tucked the open part in the front around her belly and hugged herself. She headed for the back door but stopped and raised a finger at her brother. "Do not. Follow me."




She waddled out the back door holding her belly and trying not to cry as she passed the boys grilling.  She went down closer to the water and plopped down in the sand where she could finally let the tears flow.

Emotionally she was several places at once, she was sad that Jake took what she said the wrong way and frustrated that she didn't go after him when he walked off earlier, she was happy that Colton and Alec were there but sad again, but this time because Bella was sad, if she had a voice right now it would certainly save her from being trapped in her head right now, and all the time.

She gave a sigh and without any gesture or anything, she walked out of the bungalow and on to the back patio to clear up what was bugging her the most, Jake being upset with her. She marched up to him her high ponytail swishing back and forth as she did so. She chocked a bit on the smoke that filled the air but then composed herself "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell or sound.... Bitchy. I love you and I don't like making people mad especially the people who mean the world to me." She looked at him with big blue eyes, she didn't have on any makeup but her eyes still managed to look unrealistic as far as size went. She wasn't looking for Jake to profess his love or anything she just wanted her apology accepted, and with how angry Jake looked she didn't even know if that would happen.

Colton looked at Jake and bit his bottom lip. The poor guy, he was stressed by everyone. "Deep down they appreciate it they are not good at expressing it." he said letting out a chuckle. "That's women for you. Seems like you can never win with them. If it matters I'm pretty damn thankful for you taking care of them. They wouldn't have made it out of New York with out your help." he said before Delphi came over and Jake and her started to talk.

Jake was taking is cigarette down to a dangerously small stub before finally putting it out. He would have started another had Colton not been talking to him. 

"Maybe I'm just tired of being walked all over. Or just tired. They aren't the only ones sacrificing here. I'm putting my family in danger by being here. I don't want a big parade or even a thank you. I really want them both to stop acting like they are pissed off at me."


He looked up to see Ari waddling by with a look like she was going to cry. He watched her waddle off down the beach and sit in the sand. At least he knew where she was. Poor girl. 


He turned back when he heard delphi cough and he waved the remaining smoke out of her face. "I'm not mad del. I'm just tired of getting yelled at every five minutes for trying to be nice. I've done things to get called names and get yelled at. Hell I've done things to get slapped over. But I've done nothing to deserve getting treated the way i have." He wrapped a+arm around her he wasn't mad while working the grill. He looked over del at Colton. "Keep an eye on bells will ya. Girl is a trouble magnet."

Colton nodded his head in understanding. It always sucked when someone put their neck out for people only to be treated like shit afterwards. Colt had patience but if he had gone through the things Jake had he would have snapped a long time ago and left the girls on the side of the road. "Your family is okay right?" Colton asked a bit concerened. At any moment they could be attacked after all or that's the way it felt. 

His attention turned to Ari as she stormed away from Alec and he bit his lip. She was most likely upset about Chris and it was all Alec's fault that he wasn't there. "Don't know if there is much i can do. The girl is as stubborn as a mule." he said letting out a sigh before he walked over to Alec and put an arm around his waist. "Everything alright?"

"Shes angry and she has every right to be. She...she didn't yell at me Colton. I was ready for the yelling. The screaming. The cussing. Nothing. I deserve it for leaving him behind. I mean Christ if you were gone I'd-I'd...I'd kill anyone it took to get you back. It's like she doesn't have any fight left. That scares me more than anything." He rested his head on Colton'shoulder

Delphi looked up at Jake, her head resting up his chest, his words made her feel better, she didn't want to ruin. What they had, whatever it could be called. "You're right, about all this.... Stuff, I'm just sick of everything, all my thoughts, getting trapped up in here." She gave a gentle smile and then lightly tapped her skull withe her free arm. "The thought of actually speaking or being able to speak caught me off gaurd. And it freaked me out.... LIke everything else does... But a I am thankful for everything you've done for me and Bella... And she probably feels the same way." She gave a weak smile at the end,
