A new life

"He's with his grandfather. Hold on a minute," Kevin said as he finished healing her. Then looking at her tenderly, he picked up the phone and dialed John. Speaking he said, "We're in the Newport Beach house."
 
Alice smiled. "I'm okay, really." She whispered, picking at her nails as she waited for her son to show up.
 
"Jesse will be here soon love. I'm sorry you had to see the dark side of me," Kevin said looking at her gently as John arrived with Jesse.


"He's sleeping," he said carrying Jesse.
 
Alice made grabby-hands. "Give him here. He needs his mummy." She whispered, sitting up in the bed and carefully moving so she didn't open her wounds.
 
Alice made cooing noises at Jesse, holding his little hand and smiling at him. She gasped when his eyes glowed and her scars on her hand from long ago disappeared. "Baby..." She said, looking at Kevin with wide eyes.


She looked down at Jesse and kissed his cheek. "Look at you! So smart already!" She cooed, rubbing her nose along his tiny one.
 
Alice didn't care where it came for, just that he could do it. She rocked him to sleep, still holding him close and humming her lullaby.
 
"Honey, I love you so much. I didn't know the Malfoys would go to such lengths for me. I guess I have to train harder my love," Kevin said as he stood up.
 
"It's not your fault honey...We just need to protect ourselves better. Jesse's safety is above mine." She looked at him, smiling slightly. "Just a..better...wards..." She started getting sleepy...
 
"Sleep well, my love. I will activate the defensive systems," Kevin said as he turned on the alarms and entered the few welcome there. Sighing to himself he said, "Only family and few others are welcome here."
 
Alice dropped off, holding their son close. She shifted restlessly. "Come to bed!" she ordered of her husband.
 
"Soon my love. Let me finish my smoothie," Kevin said from the kitchen. Looking at the calendar he muttered, "Tomorrow."
 
Kevin walked back to the bedroom where Alice and Jesse were. Looking at her gently he said, "Tomorrow, can we go get Jesse a crib?"
 
"He will be. I plan to put it by the bed," Kevin said as he laid down next to her. Then looking at her he said, "Did you really mean it. In the hospital you made it sound like you wanted no more children."
 
Alice immediately cupped his face. "No, no, no, my dear! I do want more! Many more. I was just...in pain at the time but the gratification of having my son in my arms assured me that I wanted a house, full of the patter of little feet and children's voices." She said, smiling happily and kissed him, leaning over Jesse.
 
"Alice, in another timeline I would have been abused, hurt, and living on the edge of life," Kevin said as he finally began to open up his visions of the alternate life he had lived.
 
"Kevin...Sweetheart. That isn't you. Your real life starts now...with me and Jesse and soon....many more wee ones..." Alice said, caressing his face.
 
"I know but these visions barrage me every night. It's like the me of another dimension is crying out and nobody there will hear him. He's human, with my same name and personality but no one will hear him. His immediate family hates who he is becoming and he knows it," Kevin said as tears streamed down his cheeks.
 
Alice carefully maneuvered until she sat in his lap and placed both her hands on his cheeks, wiping his tears away with her thumbs. "Kevin Dobson. Your wife, vows, right now in our bedroom, that she will do everything to stop these vision because the man she loves does not and will never deserve that kind of pain. Sweetie, I love you and these visions...are nothing but fake. Please don't let them affect you like this. I can't bear to see you in pain." She said, kissing his forehead and holding him tightly to her.
 
"I know but as much as I hurt, it is only a small fraction of his hurt," Kevin said holding Alice. Then he fell asleep and saw a vision of the other 'Kevin' having less hurt and relaxing more.
 
Alice held him as he slept, only moving so that her back was against Kevin's chest and Jesse was in her arms.
