Disclaimer – I still own nothing.

AN – Thank you to scienceficfan24 for your review! So this chapter will go right back into the events of what actually happens in the show. There are still some slight differences, and I will do my best to lead the story back to the real plotline. This chapter also skims over some stuff, simply because it does go back to the original plotline and I didn't really want to go over it again, especially since season 4 is the season I know the least about because I am a major coward and can't bring myself to watch it. Sorry. Here is the last chapter of the story though, hope you guys like it.

Enjoy!

The next day, Tom and Weaver found the buried beamer. After talking with Cochise and Shaq, as well as Weaver, Anne, and his sons, he started to get people to unbury it. When they asked why, he revealed his idea of using it to go to the moon and blowing up the tower that the Espheni have there in order to knock out their technology.

Even though destroying the tower could be extremely beneficial for destroying the Espheni, it was a very risky idea. Once Tom had told his sons about it and they became aware of the risks, they immediately protested their father's plan. After everything that happened, everything they had all been through, they didn't want to risk their father's life on what could very much be a suicide mission. Unfortunately, there was no changing his mind.

That night though, they put their father's plans and their feelings about it behind them. That night, was when their father was marrying Anne Glass. The couple had broke the news to the Mason children early that morning, and word quickly spread through the camp from there. They decided to have the wedding as soon as possible, especially when Tom came up with the plan for the beamer, and decided to have it at night so Hal could be there, as Anne said he needed to keep his eyes protected from bright lights.

After dinner was eaten and cleared away, and all patrol groups were back, the remainder of the 2nd Mass came together in the now-ruined courtyard, breaking into two groups so there was something of an aisle between them. Tom and Weaver stood at one end with Hal, Maggie, Ben, and Matt close by.

Soon, Anne, with a small bouquet of wildflowers that someone had picked for her, walked down the aisle towards Tom, both of them smiling at each other. Everyone else in the group was either smiling or watching intently. Matt and Ben were definitely smiling, both happy that Anne was about to be officially part of their family, but Hal had a deep, thoughtful, look.

He of course was glad that his Dad found Anne, that he was lucky enough to fall in love after the death of his first wife, and Hal was happy that their family had a new member, but there was something else on his mind. Hal saw the expressions on his Dad's and Anne's face. Even though it was somewhat blurry, he could see how much they loved each other, and how happy they were, even if it was for just a moment before they had to go back to the reality of the war.

Turning his head to the right, Hal saw Maggie, also watching the proceedings with a grin. As though she sensed that someone was watching her, the blonde turned her head to look at him. Hal then gave her a smile as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close. Maggie stepped closer so she was standing right beside her soldier and placed her arm around his waist. Hal pressed a kiss on her head as he thought to himself, someday. He then turned his attention back to the wedding that was going on.

"I promise to always have your back in a firefight. And I promise to try not to get killed." Tom declared, his eyes full of love and sincerity focused right on Anne. In her dark brown eyes, he saw the same expression.

"I promise to do the same." Anne replied, smiling at her very-soon to-be husband. Tom was quick to smile back.

"So Anne, do you take this man for better for worse for richer for poorer in sickness or in health till death do you part?" Weaver asked, looking over at her.

Still keeping her eyes on Tom, Anne said, "Yeah, I do."

"I do too." Tom said, not even waiting for Weaver to repeat the question.

"Well, as far as I'm concerned, you may kiss the bride." Weaver stated. A small chuckle ran through the crowd as Tom pulled Anne close and kissed her. Everyone started clapping, smiles lightning up their faces.

That morning, it was back to business as usual. There were groups still building up the barricade, some getting ready to make a food run, and the others working on unburying the beamer that lay in the wreckage. However, that task didn't need to be done when Shaq arrived with the whistle that had been found the day before.

Using it, and a device he created in order to make it work, he explained to Tom, Weaver, and Anne what it was, then provided a demonstration. Blowing on it, the beamer started shaking as it slowly rose into the air, the debris falling off in the process. He then got it to land and gave Tom the whistle. When he asked if it would also help them get to the moon, and back, Shaq explained that they needed a different signal in order to do that.

As Shaq agreed to help them find a way to get that signal so Tom's plan would indeed work, their attention was drawn towards a small crowd that was starting to form at the other end of the camp. Tom, Weaver, Anne, and Ben immediately made their way over to see what was going on.

Once they were in front of the group, they stopped and stared in shock. A female figure wearing a red dress with a hood that was pulled up over her head stood in front of them, straight blonde hair running down her shoulders.

"Lexi!" Anne stated in shock. After her daughter killed Lourdes and left Chinatown, she wasn't sure if she would ever see her daughter again. Despite everything Lexi did, she was still her daughter and Anne wasn't going to just give up on her. Tom however, felt differently.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Tom demanded, eyes full of anger at the sight of his daughter.

"I came back to talk to you. There is so much I need to explain." Lexi answered, her voice filled with desperation. The few people around immediately started muttering angrily, nobody wanting to see her and nobody wanting her with them. This time, knowing how much of a threat the girl could be, Tom started backing up.

"Everybody get back to cover!" Tom yelled, not wanting to risk losing anyone else because of Lexi. As he did that, he grabbed Ben's arm and pulled him back so he could stand in front of his middle son.

"Dad." Ben somewhat protested. He knew that his Dad was furious with Lexi, and he had every right to be, even Ben was angry with his sister for the attack. He lost some friends too, and his brother had almost been permanently blinded, but that didn't mean he wanted any harm to come to his little sister.

"For all we know the Espheni could be right behind her." Tom explained to Ben, still keeping himself in between his son and his daughter, while Lexi took down her red hood. A crowd was now beginning to form behind them, Pope among them. The minute he saw what was going on, he pushed his way to the front.

"What the h*ll you doing Mason?" Pope questioned, with a barely controlled tone. Tom knew that he now had to keep everyone calm, otherwise, all h*ll would break loose.

"Take it easy Pope, I'll handle this situation." Tom told him, knowing that Pope was just itching to raise his gun and shoot the person they all blamed for the attack less than a week ago. And while Tom understood and was upset with Lexi too, a part of him reminded himself that she was still his daughter and if there was indeed a chance that they could get her back, he was willing to at least see if it was worth the risk.

"Handle it? Two weeks ago we were 200 strong! We're now down to about 20. And she's the one responsible." Pope was quick to remind him. Murmurs of agreement came from the crowd that had gathered. Weaver then took charge of the situation.

"Back off! Until he's had a chance to gauge if she's a threat." Weaver ordered. Everyone exchanged looks with each before turning to look at either Tom, Pope, or Lexi. Most of the group though started backing further and further away from the hybrid.

"If? You're gonna talk to her? How about you put her down? Before she takes us all out." Pope was all too happy to give suggestions, giving Lexi a menacing look. His hand on his gun tightened as he started to mentally prepare himself to fire at the one who had caused the several deaths of their group.

Tom moved to stand in between Pope and Lexi. For a moment they just stared at each, both wanting the other to back down. Though Pope really wanted to kill the hybrid, he knew that at the moment, he would have to get through Tom in order to do that, and he wasn't willing to go that far. Yet, anyways.

Throwing Tom a disgusted look, Pope stalked off. The minute he was out of earshot, Tom went over to Weaver.

"I need you to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid." Tom told the Colonel, knowing that Pope just leaving was far too easy, that he had another plan that most likely ended with the death of his daughter.

"Mission impossible, be careful about-" Weaver started only for Tom to cut him off.

"Yeah yeah." Tom cut him off, not needing to hear about how much of a threat his daughter could be. He had already seen that when she killed Lourdes, let the Espheni attack, killing several 2nd Mass members and injuring more, including Hal. Tom then walked towards Lexi while the rest of the group left, including Ben, though he did it very reluctantly.

"It's so good to see you both, I came to apologize, to tell you, you were right. Trusting the Espheni was a terrible mistake." Lexi admitted, giving her parents a small smile. She really was grateful to see that her parents were both alive and safe.

"That's quite an understatement." Tom stated, giving the girl a glare. The smile immediately dropped from her face, and she looked down in shame. Anne however, ignored Tom's remark, instead, focusing on her daughter's different feature.

"Your eyes. They're different. They're the way they were before the cocoon." After Lexi had woken up from the cocoon, her eyes were an unnatural, dark, gold. Now, they were back to the chocolate brown from before. The way they had been when she was born. Lexi slowly looked back up at her Mom, a somewhat hopeful look in her eyes.

"And I can see clearly now. For the first time I know what I need to do. The Espheni are monsters. I want to help you destroy them."

AN – So in case you want to know what would probably happen after, the scenes with Lexi stay the same, she and Tom go onto the ship to take out the power source on the moon and she dies. The plot for season 5 also stays the same except of course, no love triangles. Also, in case you all were wondering, this is not my last Falling Skies story. I have at least two, possibly three getting ready to be written.

The Devil In Me – A different take on how everyone could've found out about Hal being controlled by Karen in season 3. Much more whump than the actual show.

The Fourth Mason – The AU where Hal has a twin brother and how that could've changed the show and the dynamic between the characters.

Wayward Son – A story of what could've happened if Karen was still alive in season 4 and how that would've changed everything that happened, especially with Hal.

See you all next time!
