Washington's POV (weren't expecting that, were you?):
I'm happy for my son...

Ever since George died, he's been watching over Alex along with Martha and...his real mother and cousin. After he came here, (I'm trying to avoid religious titles, so go with whatever you believe but it's basically heaven) Martha immediately introduced them to each other. The time they weren't watching Alexander, did I mention we can view Alex's life like a movie?, they told us about Alex before he was adopted. A lot hasn't changed, like overworking himself and being stubborn. The cool thing was they didn't have to tell them because here you can view the past like it's a movie. A really, really depressing movie.

People who say you get everything you want up here are correct. It's like a customizable life. Heck, they can control if they want a musical version of the past. It sounds stupid, I mean what weirdos want to watch a depressing musical about the past? Wait...I'm one of those weirdos...thankfully the rest of their messed up 'family' is weird too. In fact, they're so weird...they all decided to have a movie/musical night on Alex's past, I mean they tried their best to explain but it is kinda difficult for them and I'm not passing any opportunity to watch a musical about history. Geez, George was probably a history professor or something in another timeline...actually he's not even that important or special to be a teacher.

"It's starting!" Martha sits down on a super comfy couch and a bunch of popcorn and snacks appear in front of them because...magic? The cool thing is it is narrated and the people who are narrating tell what could have happened in other timelines too. Tissues also appear. A lot of tissues. If that tells them anything, oh boy.

<Time skip doo do do>

After about two and a half hours, George was pretty much ran dry, both emotionally and physically. He understood why it was so hard to talk about. Hmmmm. They need some way to cheer up after that. Well, they can basically do anything so...

"Any ideas on what we should do now?" Everyone got quiet for a minute. Then like magic a letter glows itself into existence in front of them. When the light fades out the letter drops to the ground only to be picked up by Alex's cousin, Unavasi? Univasi? Something like that.

"What's it say?" Rachel asks confusedly, tilting her head to the side.

"Ummm...it says: Update: There is now a new feature where you will be able to physically visit your loved ones rather than just watching them-"

"That's amazing! Oh Georgey! We'll get to see our son again!" Rachel laughs at Martha's excited, wild gestures, even though it came out as more of a snort.

"Shut up. There's more: Not only will you be able to visit and see them but they will be able to see you. AWESOME! BEST. DAY. EVER!"

They all share a group hug and part with massive grins. Martha picks up the paper, "When should we try it?"

"We'll do it tomorrow. It's getting late and everyone will be asleep." They stare at Rachel.

"For being his biological mother, I would think you would know better. Alex is practically nocturnal." Martha walks back over to them and sets the paper down. They decided even though Alex would be awake, that they want to visit the other people close to them in the same day.

Look Martha, I have people that like me besides you and Alex! In fact, George was friends with the royal family. People think they got their mansion from all his business trips, which is partly true but what people don't know is that his 'business' were with the royal family and their advisors. He was hoping when Alex got some free time, he could take him on one of the trips but then he kinda..started...dying....too bad too, Alex and John would be great friends.
