Grandad: We should pack it up, people. Airport shuttle in two hours.
Grace: Mnh.
Ben: Mnh. ( Sighs ) A few more minutes.

Cal: Okay, I got some water.
Grace: What if we didn't?
Pack it up. ( Chuckles )
What if we just stayed forever on this beach?
Ben: Cal would not object.
Cal: Wait, wait, wait.
Ben: It's almost like he forgot he was sick. Even slipped my mind once or twice.

(The family sits and plays on the beach olive and cal sit making creations in the sand Alison walks with her aunt. mick holing onto her hands while Alison stands on her feet as they waddle down the beach being able to hear the young girls giggles escaping from the her mouth making mick smile Alison looks up and sees her grandmother walking over and smiles)
Ally: nanny
(The young girl waddles in the sand to her grandmother Karen bends down and swings the girl into her arms putting her on her hip walking over to her own daughter)
Karen: You're gonna burn.
Mick: Um, hi. Grown woman here, thank you.
Karen: You may be all grown up, but you will never be too old to need your mother.
Mick: Thank you. Appreciate it.
Cal: Auntie Mick! Wanna be the destroyer?
Mick: No. No way, buddy. I can't destroy perfection.
Ally: I come
(Karen puts the young girl down and she waddles over to her brother taking his hands)

Grace: Hey. Thank you so much.
Cal: Picture? Picture? ( Laughter )
(Everyone gets in a line while Alison pushes into the middle between her aunt mick and grandmother holding onto the one of each persons leg to feel included)
Everyone:All right, look, look, look, look, look!
Cheese! Look, look, look. ( Camera shutter clicks )

(Let's say Alison is a bit better but not 100% so she will be able to still do things but will have a cough now and then and still pretty high fevers with sore stomachs)
(In the kitchen with grace, olive and Ben
As they chat but here a loud crash from down the hall Alison makes her way down the hall after also having a shared calling with him Alison not understanding the calling it's left to cal Alison stands at the top of the stairs waiting for her parents they run up grace not noticing the small girl but Ben stopping picking up his youngest than passing her to olive while going to confront cal)

Grace: Cal? ( Grunting )
Olive: What are you doing?!
Grace: Cal, sweetie... What's the matter?
Ben: Hey. Come on, buddy. We made a deal, right? You've gotta tell us what's going on.
Cal: I can't.
Grace: Cal, please. Whatever it is, we will figure it out together.
Cal: we can only tell Zeke.
(Cal looks up at his younger sister who seems to be as confused as they were because cal hadn't really explained it to her yet because he didn't know how to and for little Alison she didn't get a calling this time she only had to help with cals)
(Grace looks at Alison as well but notices she was starting to burn up)
Grace: oh baby let's get you back into bed cal buddy do you want to help might get your mind of a couple things
Cal: yeah I guess so
(Cal walks out while olive puts Alison down he takes her hand and they walk to Alison's room grace looks at Ben worried and walks out after them to go help)
(Later that morning Alison wakes up from her nap she walks down to cals room and sits with him)
Cal: hey ally
Ally: cal you have bear he keep you safe like he keep me safe
Cal: thank you ally zekes coming over and we might be able to talk about our calling
ally: this one different
Cal: yeah you didn't get your voice did you
Ally: nah uh
(Zeke walks in)
Hey, man. Can I come in? Heard you and ally wanted to see me?
Ally: Zeky
(Alison says standing on the bed greeting Zeke with a hug as he lifts her up)
Zeke: hey honey have You guys got a drawing to show me? Come on. Remember what we talked about? You don't cause the future, Cal. You just see it.
Cal: I know. But what I see... How do I stop it from coming true?
Zeke: I don't know. But I can't help you until I see what we're dealing with.
(Zeke sits down on the bed holding ally on his lap)
Zeke: That's why I'm here. You two saved me. I owe you both one. We're supposed to keep each other safe.
Cal: Promise you won't tell my dad? Or Auntie Mick?
Zeke: I don't know, man.
Cal: They can't know. You have to promise.
Zeke: All right. I promise.
Cal: And Alison she only helped me she knows it's a calling but doesn't understand I don't want her to worry about this
Zeke: buddy it's ok she's two there's a far long time till she's gonna understand anything you just have to help her
(Cal opens his drawing book showing the 4 drawings of gravestones each having mick, Ben, cal and Alison's name on them Alison looks at the page)
Ally: what is it zeky
Zeke: ally it's just some stones don't worry honey
Cal: How can I tell my dad we're all gonna die?
(Alison looks up confused cal gives her the look she knows meaning don't tell anyone she looks away questioning why everyone was worried or why she could feel Zeke being scared she hated being able to feel others because when she could it was random times and she was so young not being able to speak about that)
(Zeke walks down the stairs still holding onto Allison Ben mick and Zeke Chat while Alison keeps ahold of Zeke resting her head they go inside the kitchen watching the news but suddenly Alison hears the name griffin and it completely turns her stomach the young girl still being in zekes arms starts to cough Zeke rubs the girls back trying to comfort her she reaches away from Zeke hanging over his arm and vomits on to the ground just missing Zeke everyone looks at the young girl worried)
Ben: oh my Alison
Grace: baby are you ok
Mick: I'll get a towel
Zeke: it's ok honey
(Zeke reassures the young girl everything was going to be alright as she held tightly onto him grace seeing how tight she was holding grace didn't want to try and take Alison being Zeke was helping Alison feel protected mick walks in with two towels one for the ground and one for Alison's face grace grabs one putting in on the floor cleaning up the vomit that was only water again Ben notice that and makes a mental not mick wipes the girls face and once clean she berries herself into zekes neck while he slowly makes shapes on her back ben checks his daughter and so does grace making the decision to just leave Zeke to hold her as he was already doing so)
Mick: do you thinks that was a calling
Ben: I don't know but ever since Griffen came back my daughter has had to suffer and it's not fair they continue watching the news as they find out the new information about Griffin while ally slowly falls asleep in zekes arms they continue there chat about it Zeke hands Alison to grace who's now asleep and walks out while they all chat again grace goes and puts Alison on the couch and sits down to try fix cals project)
