Roswell

Chapter 6

Liz's POV-

I walk out of our room trying to hold back my tears. I run down the marble steps and into the living room. Tears stream down my cheeks and sobs rack my body.
"Liz, come here." Michael hugs me as I cry. "It will be okay. I promise."
"H-how cc-an you p-promise that?" I ask, through sobs.
"Because Maria and I talked. We want to help you and Max. We're okay with you having the baby. and Isabel is too." Michael pulls away.
I wipe my face and try to calm my breathing. Isabel hugs me. "We want you to have the baby."
"Max doesnt." I sob. Tears start to stream again and hiccups come.
"What do you mean?" Maria asks.
"Max forbid me to go to my planet and to have the baby." I sob.
"He forbid you?" Michael asks. "No way. That won't fly. His king act is getting old fast." He clenched his fist.
"Don't, Michael. He's my husband, I vowed to stay loyal to him." I say.
"And he vowed to support you." Michael fires back.
"Why doesn't he want the baby?" Isabel asks.
"He doesn't want to risk all of our lives by going to another planet." I force the words out.
"But he was willing to do that when Tess was pregnant with Zan!" Maria's face turns red.
"I want my mom." I whisper, a single tear trickles down my face.
"I'll be back in a minute." Kyle says. He leaves the house.

Kyle's POV-

I leave the house and go to the van. I get in and drive to a post office. Taking the phone and calling someone. Calling Mrs. Parker.
"Hello, is this Mrs. Parker." I say into the phone.
"Yes, this is she." The women on the phone says.
"I have a delivery for you." I say. "It's something you had to wait nine month for."
"I didn't order any- oh- where do I pick it up?" She asks.
I gave her the address of the post office. She said she would fly here as soon as possible. I wait in the van at the post office for a few hours. At about 1 a.m. a car pulls up. Out jumps Mrs. and Mr. Parker.
I roll down the window. "Where's Liz? Is she okay? I thought in her diary it said we would not see her again? Why did she have us burn it? What's going on?" They rattled off questions.
"Liz is okay, I will take you to her. I called cause she needs you and it's a surprise. She had you burn it, so no one would find it. Liz will answer the last one. Now follow me." I respond.
They get in their car and followed me. I drove to the mansion and they followed me into the house. The lights were off and no one was down stairs.
"Wait in here." I say, pointing to the living room. They go in the living room and I knock on the door to Max and Liz's room.
Max opens the door. "Liz, I-" He looks at me and slams the door. Obviously Liz isn't staying in that room. I walk to Maria's room.
I knock on the door and Maria opens it. "Everyone is in here." I nod and she lets me in.
"Not Max." Liz sobs, she's sitting on the bed with Michael and Isabel.
"It's okay." Michael comforts.
"Okay, that's it. You are freaking me out. Why are you being so comforting and soothing to Liz and the baby?" I ask Michael.
"Because, I know what it's like to be around people, but still be alone. When Max, Isabel, and I were together, I still felt alone. I'm different from them, because they always have eachother. I had to be alone. Liz is surrounded by all of you, but no one understands what she's going through, but me. I do. I know what it's like to feel alone better than anyone. I was alone for a long time and I wish that I had someone who understood to help me, but I didn't. So I'm gonna give Liz what I didn't have." Michael says. Liz looks up at him and hugs him.
"Thank you." She says, softly.
"Liz, I have something to show you." I say. She gets up and follows me down the steps. Her stomach has gotten bigger. It shows that she is pregnant.
She gets to the bottom of the steps and stops. She squeals in pain. Max comes sprinting down the steps, but someone else beats him there. Mr. Parker scoops Liz up and carries her to the couch.
"You're pregnant?" Mrs. Parker asks.
"I'm sorry, I know I promised not to have kids until-" Liz squeals in pain. "I'm married 2 years."
"I don't care." Mrs. Parker hugs her followed by Mr. Parker. "You look at least 6 months pregnant. How? You haven't been gone 6 months." Mrs. Parker asks.
"We're you pregnant before you left? I saw you were eating more and you were snippy. You were gaining weight pretty fast. Oh my goodness. Elizabeth Parker, were you pregnant back home?" Mr. Parker raises his voice.
"It's Evans." Liz snaps.
Mr. Parker turns to Max. "You! You did this! Did you get her pregnant, before you left. Is that why you married her? Because she was pregnant!"
My baby starts to pound against my stomach. I scream in pain. Brendan runs in with a bat. Then runs out of the room into the kitche. When he comes back, he has a rag wet with hot water. He pushes my shirt up a little and lays it on my stomach. I feel instant relief.
"Stop it, you're upsetting the baby." Mrs. Parker snaps.
"No, dad, I wasn't pregnant before we left and Max loves me. Which might be a surprise to you, because I was fat. He doesn't judge me the way everyone else does. The baby has alien DNA. Which makes the pregnany only last a month." Liz snaps. "But you don't have to worry, because the baby is going to die anyway."
"Liz-" I try to calm her, but she brushes it off. She hand the rag back to Brendan thanking him and takes her mom upstairs into one of the bedrooms that no one is staying in.

Max's POV-

Hearing Liz say the baby was going to die made this seem more real. I realize that this baby is just as important as Zan, but it needs more protection. The baby is alien. This baby is part of me and part of Liz. I love her. I need to save my baby.
How have I been so blind? This is my child. I want this baby. I'm just scared of messing up and loosing Liz, but I already am. I told her to kill the baby. How could I do that?
"Mr. Parker, I'm going to do everything I can to help this baby." I say.
Mr. Parker looks at me and glares. "You caused all of this. Now she has to deal with a dead child. This is your fault."
"Jeff, come on. You can't blame Max. They just wanted a kid. Like you and Nancy did." Kyle says.
"No, Kyle. All of this is his fault." Jeff says.
"I didn't come in here and call my daughter fat before she was pregnant, then accuse her of being pregnant for months and lying about it. Then say that her husband only married her, because she was pregnant." I snap. Jeff turns around and grabs my shirt slamming me into the wall.
A door upstairs flys open and Liz runs down the steps. "Put him down." Liz said. Jeff doesn't move. "Now!" She yells. He let me go, then he tackles me. He continually punches me, but I did nothing.
"Get off of him!" Liz yells. "Dad, stop! You're hurting him! Please, stop!"
Her dad continued to punch me. "I will kill you." Jeff yelled.
"Mom!" Nancy sprinted down the steps. "Dad's gonna kill Max."
"Jeff! Stop it, now. You're gonna kill him!" Nancy screamed.
"Michael, help!" She yelled. "Brendan, get out here!" Michael sprints down the steps and Brendan comes out of his room. Michael grabs Jeff and pulls him off of me. Brendan offers his hand to me, but I slap it away. I still don't trust him.
"You are gonna get Liz killed!" Jeff yells.
"We can talk about this tomorrow. I'm too mad to listen to you right now." Liz told Jeff.
I walk over to Liz, take her hand, and lead her upstairs to our room.
"Max, I'm so so-" I kiss her before she could finish. She kisses me back. I wrap my arms around her waste and pull her against me. She pulls away gently. "Max, you are bleeding." I slid my hand across the cuts and bruises. "All better."
I smile at her and kiss her. I lay her on the bed and get on top of her.

Michael's POV-

I let go of Jeff and step away. "Trust me, I know how Max can be, but you have to give him a chance. If you don't, you're going to loose Liz. Max loves Liz and he would never let anything hurt her. She really wanted you both to be here to help her get through this hard time, but you're making it harder on her. You get one chance to be with your daughter, now that she's on the run." I tell them and walk up the marble steps to Maria and My room.
When I get inside, I see Maria's already asleep, but she is trembling. I slide into bed next to her and hold her in my arms. She snuggles into me and stops trembling. I soon fall asleep.

Isabel's POV-

When I heard Liz screaming, I went to find Maria. We stayed in my room until the screaming stopped. Then Maria left me. All alone.
I don't want to be alone. I get out of my bed and walk down the hallway and into Kyle's room.
"Kyle, do you mind if I sleep in here tonight?" I ask. Kyle moves over and pats the spot beside him.
I walk over and snuggle under the covers. I curl up in his bed and snuggle him. Kyle wraps his arms around my waste holding me. I feel as if his arms are the only things keeping me from shattering into a million tiny pieces. A porcelain doll with a crack on her head, anything could make me shatter, but I have someone to care for me and be gentle. Fix me. I feel the most love, I have ever felt in my life, right here in his arms.
I sleep soundly in his arms. The most serene sleep I have had since I left Jesse.

Kyle's POV-

I feel like Isabel and I are getting closer to eachother everyday.
I love her and I want her to be mine, but I don't want to make a move. She could still be close to Jesse. She might still be in love with him and waiting for the day she can go back to him.
I choose to not think about that day and enjoy th time now. I relax and go to sleep, with the woman I love sleeping soundly in my arms.
