The trip to Earth had been relatively uneventful which was just the way Alita had preferred it. For her part, things between her and Remy sometimes became very intense and she enjoyed being in his company when things were more relaxed. She still had no idea how she was going to introduce him to the family but the words would come when they were needed.

Now they stood at the top of the drive as the sun was rising, just looking down on the old house.

“Okay, so, once I open this gate, there’s no turning back old man.” she said quietly.

Remy smiled and squeezed Alita’s hand. “Chile, in all de time de Boudreauxs ‘ave been in existence, dere ‘as NEVER been one to back down from a challenge or adventure. In fact, it was for dat very reason I an’ my broter Merlion, ended up in de Academy. Never backed down an’ dere is no reason to start now.”

He waited for Alita to open the gate, stepped through and puller her through behind him. . . .

The old driveway hadn’t been used for ground transport since before Bre’s time. Now it was more like a small gravel road that wound a bit through a nicely manicured lawn.

As they aproached the large covered porch the front door opened and a tall young man took the steps two at a time and ran to meet them.

Stopping short, he smiled broadly and threw his arms around Alita in a bear hug.

Remy was amazed at how familiar the young man looked. Add a goatee and longer hair, and it was almost like looking at a younger version of himself.

“Sissy! I didn’t believe them when they said you were coming back. I thought you’d forgotten about all of us.” he said excitedly.

Alita tried to wiggle free a little bit and coughed slightly.

“Oh come on Donnie, put me down! You know I can’t forget about this place even if I wanted to.”

The CO smiled widely at the reuniting of the brother and sister. This was truly the happiest he had seen Alita since they discovered their connection.

Stepping back, she smoothed her clothing out. Alita knew how Anna could feel about Star Fleet at times so she was out of uniform and had advised Remy to do the same.

Smiling, she turned from one to the other.

“Donavon Claire. Meet Remy Boudreaux.”

Alita was aobut to speak again when Donnie broke in.

“Oh come on sissy, you know it’s Donnie.”

Alita scowled, shook her head, and took each man’s hand in her’s.

“Donnie. This is Remy. When you speak to him, you speak to him like you were speaking to Uncle Kord, and that’s all I will say on the matter before we go inside.”

Remy chuckled. “I do no’ tink Kord ‘as de same accent as I, but it is truly a pleasure to meet you, Donnie,” he said, extending his right hand.

Boudreaux (XO)

Donnie shook Remy’s hand and looked form this new comer to his sister and back again several times. Whenever Alita spoke like that he knew she had her reasons.

The twins, Alita and Olivia, had developed fairly different personalities. Alita was the sweet one, Olivia not so much.

“Yeah… The accent’s different and just about everything else. Anyway, we should probably head in. I’m certain Liza knows you’re here and that you’ve brought someone else.” Donnie explained making his way towards the large front door, “So gran’s in a mood. I don’t think I’ve seen her like this in quite a while and I’m worried.

“Oh? What do you mean?” Alita asked walking towards the door.

“Well she hasn’t gotten over mom and dad’s divorce… Again. And she keeps asking where Bobby is.” Donnie said.

Alita stopped and rolled her eyes. Bobby had been Donnie’s last serious girlfriend but there had been so many she was surprised the old woman could keep them straight.
“Alright then, let’s go.”

Opening the door she ushered the two men in before her. There was a large front room with a hardwood floor and several couches and a fireplace opposite the kitchen door.

Liza and Anna were nowhere to be seen at that time.

Donnie walked ahead into the kitchen, “It’s too early for brandy or anything so will coffee do?” he asked over his shoulder.
