Teddy jumped at the noise. He turned, and froze. Little Bear made a noise of curiosity, lifting his head from the floor. Teddy blinked several times, unsure what he was seeing. There was a woman at the door and Teddy recognized her quickly.
"Mum?!" he exclaimed, eyes wide.
But it couldn't be, could it? His mother was dead. Even aliens couldn't change that-- or could they? Teddy's mind raced. What if aliens had abducted his mother before her death? It was completely possible the aliens had time travel as well as space travel at their disposal. Either that or this woman was an alien imposter. He decided to be wary, and peered at the woman suspiciously.
