Alyson finally gets her life put together with Elijah but something is missing. They are happy but there is just this empty spot, what could fill it and make them complete?
I woke up next to Elijah, not knowing what to do anymore. I had practically done it all, fell in love, got married, killed the only threat to my marriage. I finally had my happy life. I wake up next to my husband every morning, not having to worry about him not being there the next day. "Good morning, beautiful." I blushed, knowing he caught me watching him, "Morning." Elijah got up, kissing me before walking out of the room. Five minutes later I smell something delightful. Food. I got up to investigate, not bothering to change out of Elijah's shirt and my underwear. I found him in the kitchen, making breakfast for the family. "Hmm, what more could I ever ask for?" He smiled at me, brushing off my comment. I waited for everyone else to come downstairs before I started shoveling food into my mouth. "Thank you Elijah, you should cook more often." I went back upstairs, finally getting dressed. I put on a light blue green dress with a white cover-up.

I quickly slipped on my shoes before walking back downstairs. "I will be back later, don't wait up." I walked through the quarter, not knowing what to do first. I walked into a small shop where I noticed a little girl trying to reach something. I took it off the shelf and handed it to her. "Thank you, miss." I smiled at her kindness, "You're welcome." She beamed at me before skipping over to her mother. Going back to browsing, I thought about the little girl. She was so sweet, not knowing what was in the world around her. She was in her own little world that she controlled. Children, they don't have to understand everything quite yet, they imagine whatever they want. Picking up a book that sounded interesting, I walked to the counter where I saw her family checking out. They had bought her the toy she had wanted and she seemed so happy. As they left the store, I placed the book on the counter. "Is this all?" I nodded, drifting into thought. I quickly paid for my book, then left the store. Next, I went to a coffee shop just outside of the quarter. I hadn't planned to leave the quarter but this far out isn't a big deal, I'm not even a mile away. I ordered my food, watching people walk past the window. Families, mothers, children. They were everywhere and I had never noticed them. They all seemed happy, just like Elijah and I are. When I finished my drink, I left the shop and went home. Elijah had been sitting in the bedroom, reading a book in the chair. He smiled at me before reverting his attention back to the book. ****** Sitting in bed, I spent my time thinking. Thinking about Elijah, my new brothers and sister, about traveling the world. Even about the little girl from the store. "What's wrong?" I was pulled out of my thoughts when his voice broke through. "Oh nothing, I was just thinking about us." Elijah sighed, sitting next to me. "Is that all?" I shook my head, not wanting no continue explaining. Sighing, he laid down, pulling me with him. He rubbed my back soothingly as I curled up next to him. "Tell me about it when you can, ok?" I just nodded, drifting off in his arms. ****** I woke, feeling better than before. All the thoughts no longer cluttering my head. I still felt a longing feeling for something, but I forgot what it was. I was content in Elijah's arms.
~~~~~~ Sorry it's so short, I couldn't think of anything else that I wanted to put into this chapter specifically.
