The helicopter ride back to the Costa Rican mainland was uncomfortable and packed, but also slightly enjoyable because I was sandwiched between Lex and Ellie, both of whom tried to hide it but were definitely very cuddly.
Dad didn't seem to have a problem with Ellie snuggling as close to me as she possibly could without sitting in my lap, something that I'm sure Lex wouldn't have been okay with if she had done it, because that is currently her spot while she leans over me and has a whispered conversation with Charlotte about her crazyDinosaur Cowboy boyfriend, but it's okay because I'm crazy in a hot and cute boyfriend way.
Which are words I never thought I'd hear from a woman who cloned herself…but hey, it's not like I knew enough about her situation to even begin to understand why she didn't make a baby the natural way, honestly I didn't even like the part in the movie where Wu drops the boom that Charlotte cloned herself.
I preferred the version of a grieving father unable to cope with the loss of his baby girl, resurrecting his dead daughter through cloning and trying to replicate the life she had lived previously, though that was a flawed plan because Maisie could never be Charlotte just like Charlotte could never be Maisie.
On another note I'm not really all that comfortable with Ellie's cuddly attitude, not after she's been looking at me so differently since first the power station and now with Rexy, I felt the cuddling meant something more for her then just a little bit of comfort for the both of us.
Tim on the other hand was making his move on Jessica Harding, okay truthfully the kid is sleeping with his head resting on her tits, while sitting on her lap, but she doesn't seem to mind and has even wrapped an arm around the kid to hold him in place, Muldoon gave up a seat for me to sit in, said he'd rather dangle his legs over the pond than have to sit so close together with anyone…especially Malcolm.
Hammond is up front in the co-pilot chair, having Lex sit on my lap is honestly not the most comfortable thing and it's not because she's heavy…but because well, I'm seventeen and she's gorgeous, so you know, no boner control whatsoever.
Arriving at an Ingen helipad near the beach teams of medical staff in bright emergency responders colors wait for us, Lex's mother is here and hovers over children hugging and kissing them for dear life and then repeating the same process with Charlotte, before her governess, who is fucking gorgeous mind you and her Father Sir Lockwood embrace the girl.
A man in maybe his early fortes with a blonde girl with a nice body but with a swelling belly from pregnancy walks over to Lex, Tim and their mother.
And Lex's happy smile at reuniting with her mother vanishes, "Why are you here, with her?! You left us to make a new family, you're not wanted here!" Lex screams at her father and as I'm about to go over there and be whatever comfort I can be for Tim and Lex my Dad rests his hand on my shoulder, I turn to look at him and he shakes his head slightly telling me not to get involved, I want to ignore him but also feel that he's right.
"Oh shit!" I mutter my mouth dropping open as Lex decks the man with a left hook, when he tries to step forward and hug her, I shake my dad's hand off of my shoulder and start to move closer, the man's face turns red lip split and bleeding he starts raising his hand to hit her as his teenaged pregnant secretary looks like she's about to pounce on Lex as well, Lex's mother is yelling at her ex-husband not to touch her daughter
The world seems to slow down and I move faster than I did when running towards Dad and Tim were about to be eaten or when I was leading Rexy away from everyone else, moving Lex behind me, receiving a shocked cry of surprise from the girl as suddenly I'm standing in front of her.
Lex and Tim's father's closed fist connects with my jaw and there is a cracking of bones. The man cries out in pain and grabs his wrist with his left hand.
"My turn." I say and my right fist connects with his jaw. I feel his jaw bone break against my knuckles, teeth and blood spray from his mouth on his way to the ground, Lex's screamed no, "No Alec, don't do it, he's not worth it!"
"Ahh, shit." I groan as I look at the man knocked out cold on the ground with blood leaking out of his mouth and his right cheek sunken inwards.
Muldoon bursts into laughter from behind me, my dad lets out a resigned sigh, others are just looking on in shock.
Tim is the one who breaks the silence that has descended over the helipad, "Holy Shit, you just knocked him out!" Tim exclaims and I look at him. The kid is smiling at me, a couple of Ingen security guards come over and try putting me in handcuffs but Hammond waves them away.
Tim's mother gasps, "Timothy Alexander Murphy, watch your language young man or I'll rinse your mouth out with dish soap!" She hollers at Tim but Tim giggles happily.
I feel Lex poking me just between my shoulder blades rather insistently, I suddenly feel really worried that this would be the end of our very short lived relationship.
"That's what you deserve for trying to hit my daughter, you piece of shit." Lex and Tim's mom curses drawing a mock gasp of surprise from Tim, "Mommy you swore, does that mean your mouth is going to get rinsed out with dish soap?" Tim asks in such a mockingly adorable way, I didn't know how to feel but I definitely laughed.
I hear Lex's mother start to say something back to the little smartass but I zone out as my eyes meet Lex's they're watery with fresh tears, yet she's smiling at me.
"Hug me." Lex mutters as she hugs me around my chest, interlocking her arms behind me and presses her face against my naked chest, I wrap my arms around her and feel her crying against me, which makes me run my right hand along her hair giving her head pets.
"I'm not Rexy." I hear her muffled exclamation and am about to stop, "I didn't say stop." comes an offended/muffled exclamation from Lex, making me chuckle.
Feeling a tap against my shoulder I turn my head slightly and find Lex's mom who looks like Lindsay Lohan will in her late 30's but with red hair like her daughters.
"Hi I'm Lisa, Tim and Alexis's mom, it's so nice to meet you, Tim has been telling me about you, and all that you've done for him and Alexis, and I am eternally grateful to you as a mother of these two, and don't mean to sound rude but my daughter needs to get checked by the doctors." Lisa says and Lex groans out,
"Mmmooommm, not now!"
"Don't get lippy with me young lady just because you have a boyfriend now, you are my daughter and, I'm the boss of you." Lisa retorts in the most motherly way I can imagine.
"Ughh, you're the worst!" Lex groans and reluctantly breaks the hug and begins to get escorted away by her mother with members of the medical staff, and Tim.
Tim let's go of his mother's hand and gives me a hug, "You'll come see us later right?" Tim asks shyly, "Of course buddy, now you better go get looked over." I reply to Tim honestly.
"Now that they are away, I believe it is time for us to discuss the future of Jurassic Park with you at it's helm." Hammond says as he walks up beside me, Dad clears his throat.
"With your father present of course." Hammond clears his throat and includes dad.
"I'll need full legal representation and council that is independent from you and Ingen that is solely concentrated on me and what's best for me." I reply to Hammond who's eyes gain a bit of a cold glimmer to them before the first genuine smile I think the man has given me appears on his face.
"I think you and I are a lot alike in many ways Alec, it will be a pleasure to be in business with you."

After a very long dry conversation between myself, Hammond, Dad and yes Ellie because I want her to be involved to make sure something as simple as lilac plant seed oils or whatever on rocks won't be poisoning the animals and lowering their quality of life, to me now heading to Malcolm's hospital room.
Standing outside and knocking on the open door, "Alec? Come on in…that was really chaotic you know riding on the back of a T-rex." Malcolm says and the man seems humbled by everything that he's seen, there's no arrogance in his voice and the sleaziness is gone.
"Thanks, so I'm sure you heard but John wants me to take over Jurassic Park." I state and Malcolm nods while looking at me seriously.
"I'm just a teenager, people in the business, in the various governments aren't going to take me seriously, they're going to try and take advantage of me, so my plan is to make a board of directors, my dad is going to be on it so is Ellie, three people from Ingen, hopefully I can recruit Muldoon as well…I don't know who the other spots are going to just yet…but I'd like for you to be apart of this.
Genetic power is already out there Ian and I feel like with your help, I… we can extend how long it'll take before it bites us in the ass…maybe not by much but…" I trail off and I can see the gears turning in Malcolm's head; his initial reaction isn't refusal, like I thought it would be he's actively taking time to consider my offer.
"You're really going to do this?" Malcolm asks me and sits up a little straighter becoming fully serious.
"Yeah, the dinosaurs are here and they aren't going anywhere they need someone to look out for and fight for them, extinct animals have no rights…but these animals are alive without any protections, if I don't take the reins I worry that within a few years the dinosaurs will be used as bioweapons, it's part of why they were originally developed, they were just too expansive and uncontrollable so Hammond just repurposed the project as a vanity one."
"I…I won't hold back my opinion on anyone or anything, and I want autonomy…with a big fat salary attached." Malcolm says with a bit of playfulness, and I nod.
"Once the lawyers are involved we'll set up a proper contract that is beneficial to both parties, with the majority of benefits coming my way." I joke to the man and he lets out a full deep laugh, "Anyone that doesn't take you seriously is T-Rex chow." Malcolm jokes before his face twists.
"Too soon?" I ask him and he nods, "Way too soon, you're going to need a good general council…I know someone who graduated Law School last year and has come out of the gate swinging but is being held back by the color of her skin and her beauty, hand me a pen and paper would ya?" Malcolm says with a conniving look in his eyes and a smirk on his face, after handing him an Ingen branded notepad and pen he hands me a note with the name Jessica Pearson written on it and a phone number.
'It can't be…who I think it is.' The mental picture of a young Gina Tores flashes in my mind, but I mentally shake that image away.
"You all right, Alec? You look like you've seen a ghost." Malcom asks with genuine concern and a worried frown on his face.
"Huh, yeah I'm fine…just had a weird feeling of Deja Vu.
"Ahh, yeah I have those some times, you know…" Malcolm accepts my offered excuse and starts rambling on about the probabilities of precognitive visions, and I tune him out and feel thankful when a pretty nurse saves me from his ramblings.
'So one down, probably shouldn't count him until a contract is signed…now to go see Jessica Harding.' I pause outside the door as I see Sarah, Malcolm's future girlfriend and Jessica clinging to each other crying. 'Probably not the best time to offer her a position with The future Horizon Industries as Head of veterinarian duties or a board membership…not after she learned from Dad that her father was eaten.' I think and just as I'm about to walk away Jessica looks up from her sister's shoulder and glares at me.
"While don't fucking linger by the door come in or go away!" Jessica hollers, before developing a look of guilt.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to intrude on you or…?"
"I'm her sister, what don't you own any clothes you gotta walk around like a male stripper?" Sarah Harding snarks, making me shrug and smirk.
'Jeez what did I do to her?'
"I have it on good authority that I'm rather pleasant to look at…unless you swing the other way." Sarah snorts but it's obvious that she's giving me an appreciative look.
"I wanted to give you my condolences for your Dad he was a pretty awesome guy in the short time I knew him…and…well I may be taking possession of the archipelago, the dinosaurs and well a lot crap, and I was hoping you'd be my head veterinarian, and sit on the board of my company, Look I know it's a horrible time, but I figure you still love those animals, even with everything that happened." I start to ramble, sighing at seeing how poorly I'm doing I apologize, "Sorry…I'll go now." as I'm on my way out of the door.
"Wait…where is the raptor you took from the park…I thought you hated me?" Jessica Harding asks in a loud voice making me turn to look at her with a Huh, expression on my face.
"I don't hate you, I just wanted to get to my Little One, and she's fine, she's snoozing." I tell her easily as all things are true.
"Oh, you really care about her…I-I'll take the job, do you have something to sign?"
"Not yet, I will in maybe six months…at the soonest…but those sweet animals are going to need care…"
"I'll do it, but…I want you and your T-rex there to keep me safe." Jessica says while looking away from me, making me smile.
"Sure, but you're gonna have to clear it with my girlfriend…you know, alone on the island with only one beautiful human woman…me handsome as hell guy…" I tease.
"Ughhhh, I'm already regretting this." Jessica groans, making me chuckle, and smile genuinely.
"No you're not." Sarah teases her sister, making my smile turn into a smirk.
"Well, see ya later Jessica."
'Now Muldoon…' I think and leave Jessica's hospital room, finding John on the roof of the hospital with a bag of 40's and a pack of Maralboro's, I walk over sit down next to him grab a smoke and the match book, strike the match and light my smoke, taking a deep drag filling my lungs with the poison, exhaling in a long drawn out sigh of relief.
"I want you at my Park, no limit on weaponry and I want multiple squads of reliable men and women that can respond when the animals break loose."
"Heh, knew you'd be coming to ask…"
"I also think there would be a market for exotic hunts…and there are five islands with Dinosaurs on them…" Muldoon breaks out into laughter at that.
"Oh, I'm bloody in then…but I want a raise."
"You got it." I tell him and though I had expected him to be harder to recruit I'm relieved that he's not…
'Now, time to go see my baby.' I think happily as I find an empty hospital room and open a doorway to the loft, "Holy Shit, you got bigger!" I exclaim as Little One who was about the size of my palm is now about the size of league regulation 2 soccer balls.
Little One jumps up into my arms, and nuzzles her snout against sharp claws digging into my flesh, uncomfortably "Yes, I missed you too pretty girl, but you can't just go jumping on people." I speak to Little One and she makes a series of clicks, and I nuzzle my cheek against her snout.
"Hey Little One…was that jungle there before?" I ask the baby raptor as I look out of a large bay door that leads into a tropical jungle.
'I don't think it was in the description…oh well…better get my baby some food, and maybe a special treat.' I think and move to the kitchen carrying my Little One, like a baby.
"Have to stock the jungle with prey food for you." I murmur to Little One.

"Hey Little One…was that jungle there before?" I ask the baby raptor as I look out of a large bay door that leads into a tropical jungle.
'I don't think it was in the description…oh well…better get my baby some food, and maybe a special treat.' I think and move to the kitchen carrying my Little One, like a baby.
Cooking and cutting up a massive porter house steak into little tiny pieces for Little One, moving to sit down on the large leather couch with Little One standing on my lap and the plate on the cushion.
I grab a piece of meat and experimentally try to feed her one piece at a time until she turns her head away when I offer her more.
"Are you full?" I ask her and am slightly surprised and a little confused at how she is so gentle and cautious when taking the cut up pieces of meat from between my fingers.
"You're such a good girl Little One." I coo at the adorable raptor who's stomach is bulging slightly from her meal as she curls up on my lap like a cat.
I find myself starting to drift off to sleep between the comfortable couch and Little One's content snoozing sounds, 'Come on man, you gotta get up, people will notice if you're gone for too long.' I say to myself and groan as I stand up from the couch doing my best not to wake Little One and set her down on her bed near the door.
"I hope I at least get a few more months of being able to baby you Little One." I murmur as I run my fingers along her spine and channel my desire for her to be healthy and strong, I feel a pull from my abdomen and feel a warm gentle energy course through and out of me into Little One.
"Sweet dreams, sweet girl." I murmur and open the door back to the hospital, and start looking for Ellie…the air between us needed to be cleared and the truth was…I wasn't just mad that she was flirting with Malcolm while with Dad…I was jealous because I still have the smallest of crushes on her from my past life, and I have a crush on her from this one too but it was tempered by love for my father and a desire to see him happy.
And it honestly took me the copter ride with her cuddling my side for me to realize that I was mad because if she was going to be interested in or flirting with anyone it should be me, yes I know this is mostly teenage hormones talking…
Finding out from a nurse that Ellie has left the building after what looked like a fight with a man I share some resemblance to, I find out that a nurse recommended a bar close by where she could both find a drink and a man.
Glaring at the nurse while getting directions to the bar, it takes me about five minutes to get there at a brisk walk.
'Huh, you know it's both not a bad idea and a bad idea to have a bar so close to the hospital.' I think as I enter the bar that is playing Lynyrd Skynyrd.
With people hooting and hollering walking inside I find Ellie knocking back tequila shots while a good looking guy strips on the bar that has a pole between it and the ceiling.
Ellie finishes her shot and then climbs up on the bar and starts dancing with the male stripper, 'Okay you know what, I'm starting to not want to deal with her right now.' I think and I feel myself scowling. Ellie turns her head towards me and freezes. The many other female patrons of the bar also turn towards me and I receive multiple cat calls.
"Dance Dance Dance." Someone shouts at me, and then it becomes a chorus. Some of the women chanting are chanting in languages I don't know.
Ellie starts to blush and develops a mortified expression as she tipsily gets off of the bar, I walk over to her, pick her up and throw her over my shoulder getting catcalls and awes of sadness.
"Hey, Alec put me down!" Ellie cries out mortified at some of the suggestive things some of the women speaking English are saying.
Carrying Ellie out of the bar as she wiggles futility on my shoulder before finally giving up with a sigh, away from the bar and hospital I set Ellie down on her feet.
'She's crying…why is she crying?' I wonder and then Ellie is hugging me as she cries.
"Ellie what's wrong?" I ask her and feel uncomfortable at the hug because a small part of me likes and even craves being close to her and it's all a confused mix of platonic familial love, guilty desire and lust.
"Everything, I-I gave Alan an ultimatum, I wanted an answer to whether or not he could raise a family with me…he didn't even consider it he just said a flat cold no.
And then there's you, you came to save me I thought I was dead…I'd lost all hope, and then, and then you were getting torn apart by those raptors, but you were healing too, your g-guts were all over the floor but you were still fighting, fighting for me." Ellie's words are broken up by powerful sobs.
I do what feels right. I hug Ellie back and start rubbing her back, "It's all gonna be alright Ellie, I promise…Dad's just being stubborn, he's afraid he's going to get left again and stuck raising another kid alone is all."
"No, he doesn't want the same things as me, I want to have kids while I'm young and able to keep up with them…my relationship with your father always had an expiration date, He didn't even get jealous when I flirted with other Malcolm, just to show him I had options…to make him jealous."
"And-and I saw it you were mad at me, Alec you were mad at me when your father who I was actually dating wasn't…do you know how much that hurt?" Ellie just keeps going letting words tumble out but her crying has stopped and her voice is taking on a hint of anger.
"Yeah, I was angry…though I think I might have misunderstood my own feelings…about why I was angry…you flirting with an older man, while treating me as a kid…I thought I was angry because it seemed like you were going to cheat on Dad…but."
"Alec, I would never…" Ellie says as she pulls back and looks up into my eyes with a tear stained face, "Oh…OH!" Ellie murmurs.
"It's dumb…you're like the closest thing I've ever had to a mom…like a big sister…but…"
"Alec." Ellie's voice is a soft understanding murmur, "It's okay, Alec…it's natural." Ellie murmurs and I can hear something else in her voice. I look away from her because the look in her eyes is damning, the smell of alcohol and bad decisions on her hot breath.
"It's okay…I understand…I felt the same way seeing how close you and Alexis have gotten in such a short time." Ellie murmurs and I turn to look at her and suddenly I feel her soft lips against mine. I can taste the tequila on her lips.
I find myself kissing Ellie back, and then a feeling of guilt hits me, but I can't seem to stop myself. My hands go from offering comfort to hungrily exploring Ellie's body, grabbing her firm ass, up shirt to her slight breasts.
"Stop!" I groan and push Ellie away.
"I'm dating Lex." I mutter and go to step away from Ellie but she nearly falls to the dirty pavement so I catch her, and steady her on her feet.
Ellie snorts, "She's little more than a frightened child clinging to her hero." Ellie says dismissively.
'Can't the same be said about you?'
"Ellie…" I say her name but don't know what to say, "let's get back to the hospital." I mutter and support Ellie's drunken walk.
"Fine, play at being a boyfriend to a little girl that doesn't know what she wants, don't expect me to wait around for you like I did for your father!" Ellie starts to cry after attacking me verbally, 'Is she feeling guilty too, or is it because I hurt her feelings by what I said?' I wonder, but shake it off, Ellie but I had crossed a line one that shouldn't have been crossed and I doubted that there was any way to come back from it.
Ellie tries to push me away but neatly ends up fast first in the concrete, "Stop being a pain in the ass." I grunt and keep her upright.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Alec." Ellie is a complete and total mess by the time we make it back to the hospital, and I can't help but blame myself for it. My feelings of guilt grow even worse seeing Tim at a vending machine by the entrance with his and Lex's Mother Lisa.
Lisa walks over hugs Ellie, and takes a small package of cleenex tissues from her purse and gives them to her, before turning to me and hugging me tightly.
"Thank you, thank you so much for keeping my baby's alive. They told me everything and how you were willing to sacrifice yourself to keep them safe, thank you so much." Lisa cries as she kisses my cheeks and hugs me.
"It was just the right thing to do." I offer up while feeling a little awkward because one Lindsay Lohan look-alike, two I just cheated on her daughter within the first day of becoming her boyfriend...with my father's girl-ex-girlfriend.

Lisa walks over hugs Ellie, and takes a small package of cleenex tissues from her purse and gives them to her, before turning to me and hugging me tightly.
"Thank you, thank you so much for keeping my baby's alive. They told me everything and how you were willing to sacrifice yourself to keep them safe, thank you so much." Lisa cries as she kisses my cheeks and hugs me.
~~ — — — — — — — — — — ~~
Shaking away my guilt, I return the hug with one arm, 'Still can't believe Lex and Tim's mom looks like Lindsay Lohan.' I think and notice Tim looking embarrassed for both of us.
After breaking away from Tim and Lisa helping the drunken Ellie to her room as we're technically supposed to remain here for 24 hours, I make my way to the room I'm supposed to be sharing with my father.
Dad is sitting on his bed with his face in his hands, walking up. I pat his back, "H-hey Alec." Dad's voice breaks as he looks up at me.
"Hey Dad, you alright?" I ask the man genuinely concerned since I can tell that he's been crying even if he's putting on a good show that he wasn't.
"I'm fine son, you should hear from me first, Ellie and I have broken things off…" Dad says to me his voice cracking again and I look at him seriously and wonder whether or not I should tell him about the events in the alley but decide against it.
"You guys just want different things, I'm sure you'll find someone to share your life with that will never want children or not already have them." I say and pat his shoulder, spotting the clothes on my bed that look like they'll fit. I grab them off of the bed and head into the bathroom that is attached to our hospital room.
'It feels good to wash all this blood, dirt and sweat off…I don't think having Ellie on the board or even as an employee is a good idea anymore…but competent paleobotanists are a rare find.' I think as I finish my shower and begin drying off.
Exiting the room finding dad gone but a note written on the wheeled table they use to feed patients, [Gone to think, get some sleep. Love Dad.]
I chuckle at his note, and roll my eyes, 'He probably went to see Ellie.' I think but shrug it off I'm washing my hands of her in all but a professional sense.
Just as I'm about to take a few steps to my bed and get some zzz's I remember my promise to Tim, and figure I should go check on Lex too.
Walking to Lex's room gently knocking on the door I see that Lex is the only one in the room. She looks at me then rolls over onto her side.
'Okay then…' I think as I turn around and walk the other way, back to mine and Dad's room.
'Guess I shouldn't be surprised, now that our lives aren't in constant danger, the rich girl wants nothing to do with me.' I think as I enter the room and lay down on my bed, close my eyes and fall asleep.
~~ — — — — — — — — — — ~~
Getting off of the private plane loaned to me by John Hammond, at La Guardia airport a driving service is waiting for me as I exit the gate, to take me to my lunch appointment with one Jessica Pearson.
Almost an hour driving to the restaurant because of traffic, the car pulls up in front of a small bistro.
Walking inside, I see Jessica as she's reviewing the paperwork that Ingen's lawyers sent over. This is a sorta test for her to see if she's competent or even truly interested in taking me on as her client.
"Jessica Pearson?" I ask as I pull out a chair and sit-down across from her, she looks up at me, "Yes, Alec Grant I presume?" She asks and she's very professional in her attitude at least at first.
"So did my father put you up to this?" Jessica asks me and I'm left blinking stunned by the question.
"Who?"
"Ian Malcolm, did that deadbeat asshole put you up to this?" Jessica asks me and I can tell my answer will determine whether or not we can work together and if this Jessica is anything like the Jessica from Suits then I want her fighting in my corner.
"Malcolm did give me your number after I expressed a need for legal council that I could trust, he told me only that you were a year or so out of law school and already making a name for yourself, you being his daughter never popped up, and frankly I don't fucking care who your parents are, if you're as good as Malcolm painted you as then I want you on my side watching my back, helping me build something awe inspiring that will rake in billions, once fully operational. So can you look past your father's hand in this meeting or are we done here? Because I don't have time to waste on daddy issues getting in the way of my business." I say to Jessica and I mean it, as I really don't have fucking time to waste answering pointless questions.
"Here's our contract…I'll explain it to you." A very long drawn out conversation later I have Jessica Pearson as my general counsel and her law firm as Horizon Industries legal support, the company being truly established by them in the next 30 days.
"This contract is full of loop holes, and clauses for Ingen to use. They're even taking 30% of your company right out of the gate. This whole deal is…problematic, made even more so by their financial support, and current pending lawsuits against the brand Jurassic Park." Jessica starts to explain to me, I put my hand up to her.
"Jessica, I need you to be my Viking warrior, not my hand holder, give me a general sense of things, go out there slay my enemies, and get me the best possible terms you can, that won't leave me getting rapped over a barrel." I say to Jessica honestly and she smiles at me.
"I think I'm going to enjoy working with you Alec…" Jessica says to me with a smile on her face and I smile a smile I learned from Little One, it might just be a little too blood thirsty…

Three months later.
~~ — — — — — — — — — — ~~
Standing in my boardroom which is an older airstream from the early seventies.
"So, how's everyone doing? I'm glad you could all make it." I ask everyone and get muttered goods and alrights from everyone.
"The main thing that I want to say is that with the transfer of assets, brands and funds from Ingen, I have restarted construction of Jurassic Zoo which is based in San Diego. The zoo will only house adolescent and juveniles, it's meant to generate income to support a new facility on site B, as Malcom." I point to the man who gives a lazy wave.
"Did some number crunching and he estimates that the Volcano on Isla Nublar will become active in twenty to thirty years, so it's not a place I want to build a long term billion dollar infrastructure, Isla Nublar will be converted into a research facility, where many behaviorists and other experts will be brought in to map out these creatures habits and behaviors, as well as a training facility for an animal containment unit, whose first directive is to protect human life so that means if the loose dinosaur presents too much danger it'll immediately be put down."
"Are you sure you want to start from the ground up because of Malcolm's predictions?" Dad asks me and I nod, "Malcolm, regardless of any personal feelings anyone in this room might have for him, is very competent in his field. He says Nublar's volcano is going to erupt somewhere between twenty and thirty years from now, I'll take it as a guarantee that it'll happen." I say and almost everyone looks reluctant to accept that, activating the projector.
"Now I've also been in meetings with the engineers of the original park, and I've had them begin designs on a solid barrier park with tubes going through them that will offer a close up view of the animals while keeping people as safe as possible." I inform them as I begin showing them slides of what looks like a massive pie, with slices cut into it, and tubes running along inside the pieces of pie.
"Each tunnel will be reinforced and have current running through the exterior metal reinforcements. To prevent destruction."
"Excuse me, how much will all of this cost, between the materials, the labor?" John Hammond asks and though he's not technically on the board of directors his daughter is, as she actually has both an MBA and is a CPA and my current head of finances/accounting.
"Current estimates net us around 1.3 billion dollars to fully complete the park but the park is projected to be completed enough to start having visitors by the point that seven hundred and fifty million dollars is reached." Lisa offers.
"That won't be happening, we'll either be fully operational or never in business, I will not have a repeat of Jurassic Park." I say coldly as John starts to open his mouth, it shuts with a click of teeth.
"Besides Jurassic Zoo's earrings are projected to be large enough to offset the cost of this new park." I add on with a smile.
"And that convenes, the end of this meeting if any of you have concerns or opinions about Jurassic Zoo, please come to me in private to express them, now if you all would kindly GTFO of my trailer so I can get some sleep it'll be greatly appreciated." I say while smiling but being serious at the same time as this is my third day without sleep between paperwork for the zoo, reviewing contracts with Jessica and going over financials with Lisa I'm beat, I even have a couple of grey hairs coming in.

"And that convenes, the end of this meeting if any of you have concerns or opinions about Jurassic Zoo, please come to me in private to express them, now if you all would kindly GTFO of my trailer so I can get some sleep it'll be greatly appreciated." I say while smiling but being serious at the same time as this is my third day without sleep between paperwork for the zoo, reviewing contracts with Jessica and going over financials with Lisa I'm beat, I even have a couple of grey hairs coming in.
~~ — — — — — — — — — — ~~
Lisa stays behind which isn't odd. She and I have spent a lot of time together going over financials, employment contracts, salaries, stock options and how much things cost.
The woman is beautifully intelligent and understands numbers and finance in a way I never will.
"I haven't seen you take a break in the last three months since I met you, you need to rest and take some time for yourself." Lisa says to me, as she goes to my fridge which is embarrassingly empty except for some cans of Coke, Pepsi, a stick of butter and a bottle of ketchup.
Then my pantries and grabs out a half a loaf of bread and a half empty jar of peanut butter, and starts making a sandwich.
"Lisa, you don't have to do that." I tell her but resign myself to her care when she gives me a look that says I'm doing this whether you like it or not.
"I do, you saved my babies, and you gave me a job when you didn't have to, Regardless of your and Alexis's short relationship, Tim sees you as his big brother and I'll be damned if someone that important to my son gets sick because he isn't taking care of himself by not eating and working all the time." The woman goes on and I find myself sitting at the small table eating a peanut butter sandwich.
'I mean, I usually do take personal time to go play and hunt bunnies and or pigs with Little One, and I usually make something to eat before crashing…but I guess it does look like I'm neglecting to take care of myself.' I think but it's not like I can just go and say that I keep a pet Velociraptor in a pocket dimension, and usually spend any and all few moments of free time I have with her.
'Being a single RaptorDad is hard work.' I think jokingly, and wonder how Owen did but remember he had that black guy and whole support staff.
"Thanks for looking after me Lisa, I appreciate it…but, you should go home and get some rest and spend some time with Tim and Lex." I say to the woman and find it hard to look away from the woman with her auburn hair lit up brightly by the sunlight coming in through the window shades.
"I will once I'm sure you've eaten and fallen asleep." Lisa crosses her arms underneath her chest, and I can see it in her body language and eyes that she enjoys trying to take care of me and find my eyes being drawn to her chest amusing.
Rolling my eyes I shrug in an uncaring manner as I polish off my peanut butter sandwich and bottle of water.
Standing up from the table, kicking off my boots and taking off my shirt, enjoying the way the single mother's eyes rove over my naked torso, while I walk over to and crash face first on my couch.
I shut my eyes and let my breathing level out like I'm asleep, a trick that Little One likes to play with me and then jump on me, for playful fighting. Lisa walks over to me and places her hands on my back, I can hear her breathing rate increase as her hands run along my back.
"That silly girl, should just talk to you, I know she's afraid that now that you guys are off of the Island and safe…that she isn't good enough, but that it's not up to her to decide on her own, and just watching how hard you work…" Lisa mumbles and sighs.
"And that you hired me so I could keep giving them the type of life they're used to…She doesn't know what she's missing out on, but you also shouldn't have just walked away either…but I guess this is what it is to be young in this generation." I hear Lisa murmur finally before she clears her throat, removes her hands from my back and leaves my trailer.
'Guess I'm pretty popular with mama…and she's right, my just ignoring Lex like I have been wasn't the right way to handle things…but I've just been so busy…' I think as I stand up from my couch, walk over to my door and lock the three deadbolts on the door and open a doorway to my "Loft" and I use the word loft loosely.
As soon as I'm through the door, a three foot tall, six feet long Raptor pounces on me making happy noses, "Did you miss me Little One?" Playfully I tease Little One as we start, play wrestling.
After some playtime and some steak I lay down in my bed with Little One resting her head on my chest.
"Good night sweet girl." I murmur to the adorable sleeping raptor.
~~ — — — — — — — — — — ~~
Waking up getting dressed in a business suit, I leave the loft, for my meeting with Henry Wu.
"Hello Doctor Wu." I greet the man who is waiting at my front door, "Mr.Grant, it is not like I had much of a choice you are my employer now." Wu greets me back and continues dismissively.
"Ah, yeah I forgot about that to be honest with you, anyways please come inside there is something I want to discuss with you." I offer mockingly, and step to the side while flourishing with my hand for him to come inside, the man snorts but does so.
"So what is this about Mr. Grant?"
"Simply, I was right you were wrong your creations can reproduce, but honestly I'm not concerned about that, I'll take precautions to limit populations, for the island's flora ecosystem. Now what I'm interested in is if the idea to miniaturize the dinosaurs is possible, T-rex's and other species the size of large Labrador retrievers or even smaller to the average largest size of a common mouse, so Doctor Wu tell is such a thing feasible?" I say to the man before getting to the point, I had this idea when remembering spy kids and how cool it was to see miniature dinosaurs.
The applications for such things would be countless, I already have billionaires and other rich influential people calling me about buying dinosaurs.
"I…I don't know." I could tell Wu was going to instantly deny the viability of my idea, but he stops himself from shutting it down immediately.
"Such research…would be costly and I'd need advanced equipment…" Wi continues.
"I don't need to be told that Henry, I need a person to make it happen…it's a side project of course you'll have to continue your regular duties as well."
"I'll need another lab, and skilled workers/researchers to assist me."
"Like I've already said, I need someone to make it happen, you'll have what you need but you fail me and I'll feed you to Rexy, after all if it wasn't for me protecting you, when Hammond was looking for people to blame, you'd be spending the rest of your life in prison."
"I-I'll do it."
"Good, now if you'll excuse me I have another meeting in about twenty minutes." I nod to Henry and verbally wave him goodbye.
Releasing a sigh and leaning back in my chair, "I don't think I have anything pressing to do today so I might just relax the day away." I hum and my phone starts to ring, reaching over I grab the landline off of the answering machine.
"Hello?" I answer the phone kindly.
"Hi, Alec, it's Lisa. I got some new numbers from Jurassic Zoo, and would like to go over them with you. Can you meet me at that little diner you took me too last week for lunch, for breakfast in say an hour."
"Umm, sure…see you there."
"Thanks, see you later."
'This is Saturday right? Doesn't Lisa have today off?'
~~ — — — — — — — — — — ~~
To say I'm shocked when I go to meet Lisa for breakfast and Tim slams into me giving me a hug,while Lex stands behind him holding her arms awkwardly.
"Hey." I wave to her with my right hand as I ruffle Tim's hair with my left.
"H-hey…today's Saturday…mom thought we needed to get out of the house so she brought us along." Lex says to me and I nod, "Cool, where is Lisa?"
"Hi Alec, it looks like you got some much needed sleep." Lisa comes up to me with a conniving smile on her face looking between Lex and I.
"And it's been so long…I thought you'd like to see Tim and Alexis…" Lisa continues and Lex blushes slightly and glares at her mother before turning to look at me then she looks away.
"Yeah, it is nice seeing you two, I've been so busy…I haven't gotten the chance to pop in and see how you guys are coping with the move, sorry for that Tim, Lex." I agree as it is nice to see them both even if things feel incredibly tense and awkward between Lex and I now, Tim is just so happy to see me.

"It's okay, how are Rexy and the baby Raptor doing?" Tim asks me he vibrates with energy and tries drag me into a booth with him.
"Good, you should come to the island with me next month and I'll let you ride on Rexy's back with me. I've hired a saddle maker to make a real saddle for her."
"Whoa really?" Tim asks me in awe, Lex's face twists slightly but she smiles at both Tim and I. Lisa looks uncertain as she grabs Tim's hand and pulls him away from me and pushes Lex to me, "You two sit on that side together." Lisa says while smirking at us.
"But mooommm, I want to sit with Alec!" Tim takes on a bit of a whiny tone and draws out the word mom.
"Come on, Timothy, let's go wash your hands."
"Mom, you're embarrassing me." Tim murmurs in a long drawn out way that makes Lisa and Lex giggle, while I roll my eyes at him and ruffle his hair, "Come on, be good for your mom she's working hard to take care of you." I say to Tim gently while continuing to ruffle his hair, and he's not the only one now with a blush, it seems like Lisa likes being noticed, for all her hard work.
"Okay." Tim murmurs and kicks the tile floor of the dinner with the toe of his right shoe.
Lex and I sit down in the same booth, me on the inside, her on the outside, "Why didn't you come in that day in the hospital? I saw you at the door." Lex asks me her voice quivering the faintest bit, as she stares down at the table and starts picking at the corner of a paper menu slash place mat.
"Honestly, when you saw me and rolled over like that I had just found Dad and Ellie had broke up, I wasn't really in the right headspace..so when I saw you act like that it felt like…we my first thought was, "Oh, Okay we're off the island and now I'm not necessary anymore." …I know I should have just come in and talked to you. I just…wasn't ready for it to be what my brain told me it was, then on the plane ride back to the states, you ignored me. I just figured that my own thoughts the day before were correct." I express awkwardly trying to get the right words out, with my low self worth.
"Alec that, that wasn't how I felt at all, it was just once we were safe I realized how useless I was…and how amazing you are, I-I was afraid you'd realize it too and then want nothing to do with me." Lex murmurs nervously with a trembling voice, that sounds like she's on the verge of tears.
"What, I'm sorry but that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, Lex you did the best you could in that situation, and if it weren't for you we'd still be on the island with no way off except to wait for the workers to return on Monday on the boat." I say to Lex firmly while grabbing her hands and making sure she understood that I'm saying what I meant even though I had some idea of what the password was, to Nerdy's program.
"R-really?" Lex asks me, her voice sounding hopeful but also disbelieving.
"Yes Alexis, you were awesome, and the reason why we made it home, you are an awesome hacker." I continue to give the girl some praise and she hugs me, I return it and find two very amused Murphy's looking at us.
"I'm happy to see you two are getting along again, Lex hasn't stopped crying since we came back from Costa Rica." Lisa teases.
"Mom, I have not!" Lex's voice carries a lot of emphasis, even though it's very shy and quiet.
"Lexi really has been crying a lot. She hasn't even been doing her usual computer geek stuff." Tim adds on and Lex reaches over and pinches his cheek harshly.
"Really, but won't your code breaking skills get rusty if you're not staying up on it, I don't know much about computers but three months away from the scene or whatever."
"My skills are perfectly fine." Lex huffs even as she wiggles a little bit closer to me in the booth.

6 months after the events on Nublar.
~~ — — — — — — — — — — ~~
I groan as I lean back in my office chair, inside of my office here in Jurassic Zoo in San Diego, the place finished completion last month.
The total cost to finish this place and get it fully operational was 1.9 million dollars, and it was just small shit that actually needed completing. The majority of the money was spent on bribes and licensing for the allowance of rare exotic animals that could pose a danger to the people of California.
I hear a knock at my office door, "Come in." I holler and Lisa walks in and damn if she isn't trying to seduce me in her skirts, thigh highs, and suit jackets.
"Hey Alec, the ribbon cutting is in thirty minutes, the mayor, fire chief and police chief are here. Also ACU commander Trent has stationed extra ACU personnel at high risk areas." Lisa informs me and as I lean further back in my chair interlock my fingers while crossing my arms over my chest.
Releasing a sigh I shut my eyes and tilt my head backwards.
"Alec, you look really stressed out, are things not going well between you and Alexis?" Lisa asks me though it sounds like she's more concerned about me than her daughter.
"It's hard for things to not go well when I hardly have any time to see her, but this isn't something that you aren't experiencing yourself. I…keep you busy all hours of the day and night…once Jurassic Zoo is up and running we can take some time off." I sigh again, but this time though I feel my chair sliding backwards.
Cracking open an eye I find Lisa on her knees in front of me slightly underneath my desk, looking up at me with concern and desire in her eyes.
"You really should learn to delegate responsibilities, Alec…hire some pretty assistants." Lisa says softly while,
Lisa's hands begin brushing lightly up along my thighs, and I open my eyes fully.
"Lisa, what are you…?" I question while trailing off as I know what she's doing, it's just more than a little surprising.
"I'm surprised you'd suggest that to me given your experiences with your ex." Lisa rolls her eyes at me, as her deft hands work my dress pants open,"Shh," Lisa breathes out in a very breathy aroused sounding voice, "Let me…take care of you…in the ways a woman should that my daughter isn't." Lisa's voice is a soft lustful plea.
"After all you're a young handsome and busy man Alec, surrounded by beautiful women...I doubt you'd have any time to mess around with an assistant…you could always hire Alexis once she graduates…"
"Lisa…" I groan softly while clenching my toes, "That is an idea, I planned to hire her for her computer skills…" I admit, reluctantly.
"Shh," Lisa murmurs, though this time her voice is more commanding, "You work so hard everyday…just let me take care of you…" Lisa succulently murmurs and gives one final tug pulling the waist of my pants down to my knees.
Any further words die on my tongue as as my cock springs up, and Lisa's warm breath and soft, warm hands curl around it, and begin to work up and down the sensitive skin, with an unhurried rhythm that makes my erection strain and swell to the point of becoming a deliciously painful throbbing mass of rock hard flesh.
Lisa rests her chin on the top of my thigh, her head angled in such a way that she can stare up into my eyes while also lovingly gaze at my cock, her dark red/auburn hair puddles over my legs like a sheet of silk.
Lisa's right hand continues to caress my cock with a gentle tenderness the likes of which I've never felt before in either of my lives as her left hand moves to cradle my balls.
Tender feather-light touches fondle me and make me ache for more.
"You have such a beautiful cock, Alec," Lisa breathes out a lusty sigh, just as a drop of precum oozes
forth to offer up a bit of lubrication.
'What am I allowing to happen right now?!'
With a little laugh leaving her lips Lisa straightens her back and then bends forward and places a kiss on the tip, smearing the clear, gooey fluid on her lips.
"So big, so thick…so eager…I forgot what it was like to be desired by a young virile man, Alexis is so lucky. " Lisa murmurs as she admires me and before I can say anything she leans further in, her forearms bracing themselves on my
upper thighs, as she takes the
head into the glorious wet warmth of her mouth.
The sensation of Lisa's soft plump lips stretching and squeezing around me, while her soft tongue swirls around the tip with an agonizing slowness, makes me dig my fingers into the padded armrests of my office chair.
'I can't believe this is really happening…' I think as I start to get lost in Lisa's eyes, that I am currently staring into, Lisa pulls back.
"Put your hands in my hair!" Lisa gives me a commanding plea and I comply by sliding my fingers into the thick silky tresses, instantly loving the cool softness of her hair.
Lisa makes a low purr of approval deep in her chest before swooping down and enveloping half of my length all at once.
Her tongue teases me before beginning to lavish the entire underside of my cock.
Whilst at the same time,
her hand pumps up and the still-exposed length of my shaft below her mouth languidly.
Lisa is unhurried in her ministrations, other women have often put off an air of wanting to get oral at least on their end over and done with as fast as possible.
Whereas Lisa seems as though she would happily keep suckling my cock all night long.
Suddenly Lisa sucks hard, before and while slowly drawing back her head until only the head of my cock remained in her mouth, Lisa takes a quick breath and makes it so that only her index finger and thumb are curled around my cock, before devouring me whole, making my cock impact with the back of her throat and travel down her esophagus.
Lisa gags around me but repeats this action several times, and unconsciously my hands get into the rhythm with her deep throating, and before I even realize it, I am in control of her movements, when it dawns on me I continue guiding her hot mouth up and down my cock.
Lisa moans deep in her throat, and tightens her grip on my shaft.
Her lashing tongue speeds up,
it's lashing against me, Lisa arches her back as a full body shiver runs through her body, a devious thought enters my mind, as I kick my shoe off and start using my foot…my big toe to stimulate Lisa's lower lips through her wet panties.
Lisa's eyes open wide, a surprised but pleased light shines in her eyes while peering up at me through the gauzy veil of her hair, Lisa moans again, the vibrations send a tingle through my erection all the way down into my balls.
"Jesus, Lisa," my voice comes out in a hiss through my clenching my jaw.
My hands are tightly fisted in Lisa's hair now, as I fuck her face up and down my length, so deep that her nose touches my groin, with each stroke I try pushing my cock deeper into her throat.
Lisa spasms against me as she creams on my toe while her throat is stuffed with my cock, the vibrations from a strangled scream nearly make me cum as well, and even though Lisa is cumming she doesn't stop or even try to slow me down.
She just takes all that I'm giving her with a dogged determination even as she gasps through her nose, and chokes while sucking and licking my cock with reckless abandon, watching this beautiful gorgeous young woman's lips tightly sealed around my cock as her eyes slightly roll back into her head, is a sight every bit as arousing as the feel of her mouth engulfing me is pleasuring.
It has been years since…no I've never felt this much pleasure during any sexual act, this was the kinda thing Simps and or Virgin Incels wrote about and posted on sources like Webnovel or Archive Of Our Own.
All too soon the tingle in my balls warns that I am about to cum and if I'm being honest I'm not ready for this to end, as I want this to go on forever…because I'm afraid this might be the first and only time this happens, but I have a ribbon cutting to get to.
So regardless of how much I want to slow down to stave off my climax, Lisa gives me a piteous glare and moan combination while wriggling between my thighs, as she grinds her creamy pussy against my toe as though the promise of me cumming is as good or even better than the orgasm I had given her.
I close my eyes, and partially relinquish control so that Lisa could control how I finish.
Now with my eyes shut I realize I'm a mess, my breathing is ragged, my toes are curled, my back muscles are spasming as my ab muscles are clenched, and then my cock and balls begin throbbing, 'It's here.'
"Lisa, I'm cumming." I try to warn the woman but my voice is little more than a strangled groan as I start coming hard and fast.
Even as the first rope of my cum fires into the back of her throat Lisa doubles down on her efforts, twisting her head out of my grasp and ramming her mouth
down my shaft, she takes me so deep it's as though she wants to swallow my balls.
I grab fistfuls of Lisa's luscious auburn red locks and hold on for dear life, while ineffectually trying to drive myself deeper as my back arches, lifting my hips up out of my seat and deeper into Lisa's mouth and tight throat.
"Fff-ugh-ck!" I express heartily, as Lisa massages my pulsing throbbing balls and begins microly sliding her head back and forth on my cock while she purrs like a cat and her body quivers in bliss.
Emptying myself down Lisa's esophagus and into her gullet I sink back onto the recliner, panting for air, feeling incredibly drained, empty yet satisfied beyond true understanding.
Lisa slowly withdraws her mouth from my erection,though not without suckling and lapping every inch of my shaft clean, and prolonging my orgasm to the point of being painful.
I gulp as a thick bead of my cream leaks from Lisa's lips, runs down her chin and stains her no doubt expensive blouse, I feel a small amount of guilt for staining the article of clothing even as Lisa gives me a tight lipped smirk, tilts her head backwards opens her mouth and gives me a view of the massive load in her mouth that looks like she took a mouthful of milk, and that's even after most of my cum was shot down her throat, Lisa closes her mouth and swallows.
While undoing the buttons on her blouse revealing all of her cleavage and the bright red bra she is wearing, once finished unbuttoning the blouse she slides it down her shoulders and takes off the blouse brings it up to her mouth sticks her tongue out and licks the dollop of cum off it it before throwing said blouse behind her and using her index finger to clean the thick slimy trail from her chin then takes the finger into her mouth sucks it clean and pulls it out with a pop.
Now done with her clean up, Lisa pushes herself to her feet and gazes down at me with a satisfied smirking smile on her face and in her eyes before slowly strutting over to a cabinet in my office, pulling it open and pulling out a hair brush and new blouse.
"I thought this was my office." I joke a little awkwardly and Lisa laughs.
"It is, I also put some clothes in here for you…" Lisa says but suddenly trails off.
"So you've been planning this for a while." It wasn't a question and I feel flattered honestly Lisa is a gorgeous woman, and I don't even feel like I'm betraying Lex with her either.
"I overheard Alexis and Charlotte talking on the phone and about how every time you both try to go further than some kissing you have to leave to handle something...and I'd rather you do things with me than some random floozies." Lisa mutters with a bit of shy embarrassment, coloring her voice and body language.
'So what, you'll take care of my needs, so I don't break your daughters heart by hooking up with someone? That seems kinda flawed...but you know what...fuck it.'
"Does Alexis know about this?I think it'd hurt her more that I'd do things with you her mom, then some random slut i picked up somewheres!" I express my concern for Alexis, as really the last thing I want to do is hurt her, especially through her mother the only reliable parent she has.
"Who do you think put the idea in my head? I'll admit working all hours of fhe day and night with a handsome young man who sees me as a beautiful and sensual woman who doesn't hide his desire for me is flattering and thrilling but I'd never do something to hurt you or Alexis's relationship." I'm stunned that this came from Lex, though I have a feeling Charlotte and her mother had a bit of a hand in talking her into this.
"Oh..." I mutter unintelligently, trying to shake off my stunned mindset I change the subject.
"Guess it's time to go out there shake some hands and sacrifice some babies to Compies." I mutter jokingly to myself while Lisa rolls her eyes at me.
"You shouldn't joke like that, I know you have a dark sense of humor, but it could harm your image." Lisa says to me seriously in a no nonsense sort of way and I have to admit I'm starting to fall in love with this woman without her and Jessica's hard work none of this would be possible, Lex has also been insanely helpful with getting Jurassic Zoo's computer and security systems operational again after I screwed something up once the IT people on contract finished their contract with setting things up.

After the ribbon cutting I spend three hours smooshing with the influential people of San Diego, and taking some of their kids that were interested in to play with and pet the baby dinos, it was surprising the amount of adult women that also wanted to play with the little munchkins of adorableness, even in their fancy expensive as hell clothing, the number of famous actresses and actors that came for the opening is astonishing.
The whole night I could barley keep my eyes off of Lisa or Alexis, Lex in a beautiful blue dress that was both tasteful and gave teasing glances, and Lisa in women's business attire that she made look so fucking good.
But Lex kept her distance from me the entire time during the event and didn't even look jealous when thirsty women would come over to me and give me little touches to try to give me better views of their cleavage.
'Honestly, I was happy about learning what I thought was Lisa's little trick to get us talking to one another was actually Alexis's idea, and I'm happy that we actually started dating but if she doesn't even feel like she can stand by my side as an equal at something like this…there really isn't any hope for us, I want a partner that I can rely on someone I can share my troubles with and who can put me at ease and help me improve, then there's the whole sex thing…we're always being interrupted by this thing or that, or maybe the truth is she just isn't interested in going that far, after all it's only been six month and if you count the actual time I've had to spend with her it's been maybe two weeks of actual dating spread out over six months.' I think and am pulled out of my thoughts by a signal from a smiling Lisa as I fended off some advances of rich and beautiful women.
The signal told me I had reached the amount of time present at this event, to show that I am fully invested in this venture and it's success and that I've met with everyone I should, so I walk back up onto stage.
Grabbing the microphone, "Hello, everyone I hope you are all enjoying yourselves here tonight at Jurassic Zoo, a preview of what Jurassic Park will be in the future, sadly my time here has come to an end as I am needed elsewhere to oversee the laying of important infrastructure.
It is my genuine wish that you all enjoy yourselves tonight and treat these little balls of energy and adorableness with love and respect, because someday…" I say and gesture with my hand making the floor behind me split open allowing a platform to rise up revealing Rexy and Little One.
"They will be, the big powerful creatures." Rexy finishes off my words with a glass rattling roar.
I smile at the faces of awe, fear, greed and desire, as they look upon Rexy, Little One and me.
"Goodnight everyone." I say one last time and Lisa joins me on the platform as it starts to descend once more, as soon as the doors overhead shut Lisa starts gushing over me, and my girls.
"Ohh, you looked so handsome and powerful up there with these two, not to mention how powerful and beautiful they looked in that setting and lighting, you're going to have to beat people away from Jurassic Park!" Lisa gushes as she hugs me enthusiastically, Rexy bumps her snout on my shoulder and Little One presses her head against my thigh looking for some love too.
Lowering down into the basement of the complex, I'm shocked as Lex exits the regular person sized elevator in a beautiful blue dress, while her mom is hugging me tightly still gushing, I can see her smiling and rolling her eyes at her mother.
"Why didn't you come over at all upstairs?" I ask as Lex takes her mother's place.
"I didn't want to steal your thunder plus the more influential and wealthy women that think that you are single the more they'll talk about you and Horizon Industries." Lex says back to me showing that she isn't just good with computer stuff.
"I still would have liked having you by my side up there." I say to her honestly as I wrap an arm around her waist, and pull her against me.
Lex looks uncomfortable so I'm about to let her go but Lisa starts gushing over us, I think she might have had a glass or two too much of the champagne.
"Oh, you two look so cute together." Lisa says while gushing but there is something hidden in her voice.
"Mom, can Alec and I have some alone time." Lex words it like a question but it definitely isn't one.
"We can go up to my office if you want?" I offer and Lex nods, "Just let me send Rexy and Little One to bed first." While opening the massive bay door to my loft that allowed me to transport Rexy here for free.
"Go on to the forest and hunt some prey girls." I'll come check on you later, I say to my two big girls both make sounds of acceptance before walking inside, the loft and the door shuts after them.
Tim, Lisa and Lex are very accepting of my abilities almost like they are normal…even though they most definitely aren't and they've never spoken to anyone about them, at least to my knowledge.
Walking over and getting into the private elevator that leads to my office, something left over from John's design of the place, now away from her mother Lex's awkwardness bleeds away from her, and so does her reluctance to be close to me.
'How do I begin this?'
"D-did mom, help you…relax?" Lex asks me and I can feel her blushing.
"Uhh, yeah…look I don't even know where to begin, it was wrong of me to."
"No, no it wasn't I asked my Mom to help you, I know how hard you get when we make out, and I know it's painful for guys to be left like that, Charlotte told me, and you've been so patient with me, I just want to help you…God this is so embarrassing!" Lex just vomits up words rambling before saying God like a sharp curse and expressing how embarrassed she feels.
"Lex…" I murmur and trail off finding this girl so adorably cute even if she is being manipulated and conditioned into being a cuckqueen by her "best friend".
Lex keeps her head pressed against my chest without looking up at me, "Are you sure that this is something you want, just say the words and I'll stop working with your mother so closely, I'll find someone else as gifted with finance as her."
"No!" Lex pushes back and looks up at me, "I mean no, please don't do that Mom has been the happiest I've ever seen her, working with you…you give her something my, my asshole of a father never did, you make her happy even when you guys didn't do things, I want my mom to be happy, I want you to be happy. If Mom taking care of you in that way makes you both happy then I'm happy…" Lex explains as best as she can about her own confused feelings before biting her bottom lip, tilting my head down I slowly kiss Lex.
Breaking the kiss after turning Lex into a blushing panting hot mess, "As long as you're happy and okay, with it…but the second you aren't or it makes you too uncomfortable say something to both of us Lex. I know for me the last thing I ever want to do is hurt you." I tell Lex and she smiles a small uncertain smile.
"I will, just promise me the only one you'll do things with besides me is Mom, I really hate Jessica Pearson?" Lex's voice starts out soft until she talks about her hate of Jessica Pearson, and I'm not really sure where it comes from. I mean sure the woman is a go-getter and speaks her mind with me but, she's never really shown an interest in me…maybe because I'm not black.
"Got it, just your mom, So want to have dinner with me tonight?"
"I'd like that." Lex smiles happily at me.

"Got it, just your mom, So want to have dinner with me tonight?"
"I'd like that." Lex smiles happily at me.

Just as the server is bringing Lex and I our meals Lisa comes over carrying a large cellphone that is like someone glued four standard bricks together and put buttons on it.
"I'm sorry you two, but Alec it's important a small group of poachers have been spotted on Nublar, the ACU stationed there have detained them but Nublar's commander was shot and things aren't looking good for her. And Jessica Harding is refusing to return to the island without at least Rexy's presence there to keep the other animals in line." Lisa comes over and informs me making me bury my face in my hands and groan, "Can't, the wheel on the bus fucking turn for just one day on their own?!" I groan out a curse, I hear Lex stand up from the table come over and start massaging my temples.
"It's okay Alec, I understand." Lex murmurs and I straighten up, "Want to come to the island with me?" I ask her but she shakes her head no.
"I'll go to Sorna, once you're done building it but I'm never going back to Nublar again, ever." I smile at her as I stand up from the table and pull out my wallet. "Get us some to go containers and here's money for the food and a tip." I say to the server as I hand him two, hundred dollar bills.
"R-right, I'll be right back with your food sir." He stutters and takes off and I gotta give him credit he's back within five minutes, with a receipt and my change.
"Keep the change, it's your tip." I tell him even though the tip is around eighty dollars, looking around I really don't care much for this extravagant looking restaurant and would much prefer a burger shack or a pandarossa.
"Thank you, so much." He says to me and I nod while wrapping my right arm around Alexis's waist and carrying our food with my left, leading her out of the restaurant to the Horizon Industries suv parked out front with one of my ACU/Security personnel driving us around.
"Airport, Jake." I say to the man and he nods in understanding.

Back on the island I stand outside of a holding cell with two would-be poachers inside, one of them is unmistakably from money, the other looks like he's spent a lot of time in Africa illegally hunting lions.
Looking at the door behind me, willing it to lead into the jungle attached to my loft.
"Alright I'm going to let you two go after you sign a couple of forms admitting to what you intended to do here, which is committing multiple crimes, including since these animals are my property, multiple counts of grand larceny with each animal's value being that in the millions. If you sign this form I'll let you go free and not pursue either of you legally." I say to them both as Sarah my ACU commander here on the island who they shot brings me two thick stabled stacks of paper, I healed her from her gunshot wound something she is eternally grateful for, and something I'm further protected through since I basically have a small army right now all made up of military veterans and former mercenaries whose injuries made it so that they couldn't continue.
That's where I came in taking in homeless Vets healing them, giving them new training and a new purpose in life.
"Here are the contracts, sir." Sarah says to me while glaring at the rich guy who was the one who actually shot her, mistaking her for a dinosaur…which frankly is impossible.
"Thank you Sarah." I thank her.
"You're welcome sir."
"You're saying that if we sign these and never come back you'll let us go free and clear?" The actual poacher asks me and I nod.
"Hand me the paperwork then."
"I would prefer to have my lawyer look over this…" the rich guy says, making me smirk at them.
"Don't be a dumbass, this is his private property he has a right to kill us and the Costa Rican government won't do shit to him."
"I."
"Just sign the fucking documents so we can get our here before he changes his mind!"
"Fine! Hand me the damn papers."
Within a couple minutes I received both packets of paperwork, something that Jessica and I had come up with for dealing with scum like this, I know I brought up trophy hunt to Muldoon but those would be highly monitored and not on my research island, or the park island but one of the other four of six islands.
Sarah opens the door to the cell for them and I open the door into the forest where the girls are, once they're through the door the poacher notices something off, "GIRLS DINNER TIME!" I holler and Rexy roars and I shut the door.
Sarah stares at me for a moment, "Got something to say Commander?" I ask the woman who shakes her head no.
"No, Sir!" She salutes me and then leaves me alone in the empty holding cell. I open another door to my Loft into an observatory-like room that gives me a perfect view of the jungle.
~~ — — — — — — — — — — ~~
"Wh-what was that?" The hunter's rich client who hired him asks.
"I don't know but it's massive…" The hunter murmurs back and the bushes around them start rattling, a shadow runs in front of them but it's too fast to make out, it continues to dart around them.
The hunter runs into the ferns abandoning his client, only for Little One to pounce on him, his screams fill the air of my Loft as I watch over the girls while Rexy chases the poor rich guy until he trips and falls on his face and just lays on the ground whimpering, before Rexy eats him.
Sighing softly, "Well that was a boring hunt…for the girls." Standing up from the chair in the observatory I head out of it and end up by the large bay door.
I wait for the girls to finish off their meals, and they come running over to me wagging their tails looking for praises, "You girls did such good jobs hunting those dirty poachers, I'm so proud of both of you, now let's wash off their filth." I say to the two girls while turning on the warm outdoor water hose, with a gentle scrubby brush on it.
Cleaning up Little One first, and then onto Rexy picking out bits of cloth from between her teeth.
"Yes you did good too Rexy." I give her some more praise and scratch underneath her jaw making her shiver in happiness, Little One starts clicking and nosing me for attention so I start giving her some love too.
"And you did good too Little One, you girls make a perfect hunting team."
