Chapter 4: Family guy
Alexis's residence...
..April 2nd, 2017...7:30 AM...
"Toodle doodle," T-11 sang, preparing eggs and bacon with sausage gravy. "Baby, you are a superstar!"
Alexis's phone vibrates in her pocket with the ringing turned off. Boy does Alexis love her husband, very much. She wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. Alexis takes out her phone from her pocket seeing the notification appearing to be 'Message from Richard Castle' on the screen.
"Who is it?" T-11 asks.
"Dad," Alexis said.
"Ah," T-11 said, sliding the black square item under the eggs giving them a bottom underside where the yolk is forming. "You better get that, and do so outside. You know I overhear your texting with Richard."
Alexis smiles, shaking her head pressing the read message.
"Right," Alexis said. "I quote 'Women need their privacy, honey' unquote."
"That 's because women need lives as men do," T-11 said. "I appreciate my wife having an outside life!"
"Okay," Alexis said.
"Breakfast will be ready in 10 minutes," T-11 said. "I better not see any texting at the table."
"You won't," Alexis said.
"Uh huh, you said that last time," T-11 said.
"I promise,Ty," Alexis said.
"Out and do your texting!" T-11 orders Alexis.
Alexis shuts the backyard door behind her and then faces down towards the screen. Instead of a compose page Alexis saw a young man strikingly resembling someone she had seen in Terminator 2 way in the beginning long ago. It has been so long since she had seen the movie but the face is very uncanny and memorable. This man has a scar on the right hand side of his face.
"I am John Connor," John said. "And I want to be sure you haven't told anyone what Tyler is."
"I haven't," Alexis said.
"Don't get me wrong," John said. "I am happy for my friend to have found someone...But...."
"You are worried about Skynet rising in this world," Alexis said.
"Promise me this," John said. "Just for me; you won't tell anyone what he really is."
"I promise no one will know what Tyler is," Alexis said. "I swear over my grave."
John nods appearing to have a grim look.
"Thank you," John said. "How has he been doing?"
"Fine," Alexis said. "But...I can't touch it. He has the entire basement full of games in case of a apocolypse!"
John laughs.
"That's my Tyler," John said, fondly.
"How do I make him stop?" Alexis said.
"It depends on how much ammo he has," John said.
"Like a million," Alexis said.
"Then he should stop,Mrs..." John starts but Alexis quickly interjects. e
"You want to know who proposed!" Alexis said. "Do you?"
"..Nooo," John lied, pretending to not be interested.
"I did," Alexis said.
"Mrs Castle, if he has boxes and boxes of guns; order him to stop," John said. "That is enough for a army to last two years."
"Like...Like how do I do that?" Alexis asks.
"You are his best friend and partner," John said. "I figure you know how to do that," That grim look hadn't faded. "I suppose that Terminatrix isn't going after my friend because their mission is to ensure Skynet's existence. The Terminatrix is a Anti-Terminator kind of Terminator who recently killed a Resistance Soldier in your time. My existence happens to be tied to Judgement Day. Yours, on the other hand is fortunetly not. Don't tell T-11. We are trying to figure out to eliminate this new threat."
Alexis gasps.
"But I can't stop Tyler from watching the news!" Alexis said.
"You can stop T-11 from going after her," John said. "My orders. Long as I am concerned; his mission is to be a family guy."
"Then I will have to tell him this conversation after he finds out," Alexis said.
"It will hurt Tyler the most," John said.
"I have one question," Alexis said.
"Yes?" John asks.
"How come you have songs that shouldn't be made in your time?" Alexis asks. "There are some questions Tyler's stories leave me."
"We have a underground civilization, Mrs Castle," John said. "We find ways to entertain ourselves without Skynet finding us."
"There must be great caution," Alexis said.
"There is," John said. "He misses his timeline, doesn't he?"
"He does," Alexis said. "Every day."
"It takes Tyler time to adjust to his new surroundings," John said. "Home sick is natural. John out."
The screen returns to the homepage.
