Bury the Hatchet

"Are we having a bachelor's party for you?" Doug asked Owen as he, Lowery , Barry and Zach sat in the Bungalow that afternoon. Lowery was typing away on his computer and turned red at Doug's question.

"How would that even work on this island?" Zach asked with an eye roll.

"I'm sure Blue would give a pretty convincing lap dance." Doug laughed.

"There is something wrong with you Doug." Owen said with a smirk before standing up and heading to the kitchen to refill his drink. "No bachelor party. I have my family coming in and I plan on spending time with them while they are here along with Keira's family."

"So modest." Doug said.

"Owen's a good man." Barry said. "He doesn't need one last night to have fun."

"Barry's right, Keira is all the fun I'll ever need in life." he said coming back.

"I can't believe you're getting married though." Barry said before taking a swig of his drink. "I remember when you first came to the island. So cocky trying to whoo every woman on the island."

"Playa player." Doug said.

"The fact that you got her, still amazes me." Barry joked.

"It amazes me too." Owen said honestly.

"I'm just surprised you survived the Dinosaur Man."


The helicopter was landing on the island that was carrying Keira's parents. She jumped around excitedly until they were off before she tackled her mother in a hug causing both women to fall to the ground.

"Where's my hug?" Alan said.

"Right here!" Owen said hugging him. Alan stood there with a stern expression until he chuckled and hugged the man. 

"It's good to see you too, Owen."

Ellie and Keira got up to their feet before Keira hugged her father. Ellie squeezed Owen in her hug.

"Your parents are coming on the next helicopter over, they really liked Costa Rica, they wanted to spend a few extra hours."

"Sounds like them."

Dino barked in annoyance that no one had greeted him.

"Oh hi Dino!" Ellie said.

"There's a few people I want you guys to meet." Keira said.


Zach was outside the main building relaxing when he saw Keira and Owen return from the helicopter pad with two people in tow. It was the famous Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler. He had seen their books all over Gray's room.

"Zach," Keira said. "These are my parents, Alan and Ellie. Guys, this is Zach, Claire's nephew."

"Nice to meet you." Ellie said.

"You actually came back?" Alan asked.

"DAD."

"What? He's just a kid."

"I'm technically eighteen." Zach pointed out.

"That's still a kid in my book." Alan said.

"Don't listen to him." Ellie said before pushing her husband's shoulder.

Dr. Sattler was a beautiful woman and Zach definitely noticed that Keira took after her mother in looks but with Alan's stern face, he could see where Keira got her sharp expressions from.

"Alright, I want to see where the wedding is going to be held!" Ellie said excitedly.


Keira and her mother decided to let the men stay behind as they walked side by side into the Bamboo Forest.

"Oh this is beautiful Keira."

"Yeah I thought so too." Keira said. "It's where Owen took me for our first official date."

"The man has good taste Keira. You can't beat that." Ellie said as they came into the clearing where the John Hammond statue was.

Ellie walked over standing in front of the statue for a moment.

"The man who started it all." she said.

"I thought it would be fitting to have him there in some way, after all, if it weren't for his idea, Owen and I would have never met."

"I think he would be please to see how the island is being ran now." Ellie told her. They sat down for a little mother daughter time.

They spoke about the wedding details for a little bit but then Keira began to explain the recent technical events that were hitting the sanctuary.

"You guys have gotten through worse, a hell of a lot worse than just some computer problems. It sounds like Lowery has it all taken care of. Right now, your focus should be on you sweetheart. You and Owen, you're about to start your lives together."

"Mom, we started a lives together awhile back." Keira said.

"You know what I mean."

"I know."

"Sometimes it's okay to put yourself first."

"Well, I did somewhat, we are having a wedding here aren't we?"

Ellie snorted before pulling her into a hug.


Mrs. Grady arrived nearly crushing Owen to death.

"Easy there, Pat. You'll wind up killing him before he can make it to the altar." Robert said before hugging his son.

"My boy!" he said. " Excited? You're getting married soon."

"I am." Owen said. " I really am."

"Where's Keira? I have the dress and I want to start working on the alterations."

"Woman, we just got off the plane and already you're trying to get back to work."

"She's with her Mom right now. She said she would meet us back in the Bungalow in an hour." he said. "Can you wait that long?"

"I suppose I can. I'd like to see where you're living." she said.


"Oh this place needs a woman's touch desperately." Mrs. Grady said looking around the Bungalow. 

"Keira and I like it the way it is. Her home was pretty much in the same state."

Mrs. Grady just looked at him before she began tidying up.

Owen went to stop her, but Robert stopped him. 

"Just let her do it, it'll keep her sane in the meantime."


While his parents settled in the Bungalow, Alan decided he wanted to go to the raptor paddock to see the trio. To bury an old hatchet. They walked onto the walkway.

"There they are. That's Blue, Yin and that's Yang."

"Yang is the male?"

"That's what we suspect." 

Alan nodded taking a deep breath trying to ignore the memories he had of them as they walked over to them in the restraints.

Owen motioned him over to Blue.

"Blue.." Alan said. "You saved my daughter on a couple of occasions. I guess I'm okay with you."

"You can touch her."

Alan gave him a look. Owen laughed. 

"I'm serious. She's safe right now, she's restrained mouth and all."

Alan lifted his hand but hesitated a few times before he grunted and placed it on Blue. Blue sniffed the air before her eye fell on him.

"If you told me I'd be touching a velociraptor again a couple of years ago, I would have punched you in the face." Alan said. Blue let out a chirp.

"I think she likes you."

"I'm flattered."
