Roswell

Chapter 8

Liz's POV-

"Max, I don't feel so good." I lean over the bed and puke in the trash can. Max rubs my back.
"It's going to be okay." He cooes.
"No, it's n-" I squeak in pain. Another contraction. I bring my knees to my stomach and rub my stomach.
"Brendan, her contractions are getting closer together. We need to hurry." Maria yells to Brendan.
"We'll be there in 5 minutes." He replies.
"Only 5 minutes. Can you hold it in?" Kyle says calmly. I glare at him.
"Shut up, Kyle. Its not like using the bathroom." Isabel slaps the back of his head.
"Geez, woman!" He rubs the spot, leaving the room.
"Where's Micheal?" I ask.
"He's with Brendan." Max replies.
"Can someone go get him?" Maria nods and leaves. She comes back with Micheal.
"Liz, what's wrong?" He asks. He sits beside me. I lean up and whisper in his ear, so no one else can hear.
"Micheal, you may be a jerk, but you're the most honest person I know. Do- Do you think I'm going to die?" I pull away and look at Micheal's face. He frowns. He leans back in and says, "No, Liz. I strongly believe that you are strong enough for this. I know you can do it." He whispers back.
I smile. "Thank you, Micheal." He nods and leaves the room.
"What was that about?" Maria asks, with a pissed look on her face.
"Maria, I was just asking him if-" I squeak again. Max holds my hand.
"Liz." Maria persists. My stomach feels like it is to tight.
"Liz! What were you talking about?" Maria asks.
"I asked him if-" I take a deep breath and try to steady my breathing. "He thought I was going to die."
"What did he say?" Max asks.
"He said that I am strong enough to do this. He said that he knows I can do it." I reply.
The ship rocks a little, then is completely still. Brendan runs in the room. "We're here." I squeak in pain. "Max grab Liz, we gotta get her to a doctor. She's gonna have this baby. Now."
Max scoops me up bridal style and carries me off the ship. I look around and am amazed by what I see.
The ground is a dark brown. The buildings, tall as skyscrapers, surround us. The sky is a light blue. In front of us is a tall castle. The building is beige with black doors. I have another contraction.
"Follow me." Brendan leads us inside. He walks us into a room with a throne. A tall dark haired man enters the room.
"His majesty wants you to lead Cassie and Zan to the hospital." The man says.
"What about our friends?" Max asks. I have another contraction.
"I will find them rooms, get her to the hospital." The man states. Brendan leads us out of the room.

Michael's POV-

I watch Max and Liz leave. I hope they all come back okay. Even Brendan. Although, even if he didn't make it back-
"Come." My thoughts were interrupted. I follow the dark haired man. Isabel, Kyle, and Maria walk behind me.
We walk down stair case after stair case until we stop. We're in some sort of basement. I turn around and see six guards. They push us all into a cell.
The short dark haired guy locks the door. "Open this door." I growl.
"Do you really think you can scare me?" He asks.
"You don't know who you are dealing with." I can feel anger rising.
"I know that Kavar is scary and that I work for him. If I don't listen, I die. Sorry. I really don't want to hurt you, but orders are orders." The man says, solemnly.
"Kavar? What does he have to do with this?" Isabel asks.
"He's the king." The man replies.
"Why did he let Max and Liz leave?" Maria asks.
"Who?" The man asks.
"Cassiopeia and Zan." I reply.
"Oh, he needs them. Well not them. The baby." He frowns.
"What does he want with all of them though? He could have killed Zan as soon as he walked through the door." I question.
"Your true love has to be present at the baby's time of birth." The man replies. "I have to go. Kavar has to have the baby soon. I have to steal it."
The man walks up the stairs and disappears. "We can't let this happen. We have to do something!" Kyle slams his weight against the door.

Max's POV-

I lay Liz on the hospital bed. Then I go to stand by her head. She closes her eyes and squeaks. The doctor comes in.
"Sweetie, I need you to open your eyes." Liz opens them and looks at the doctor. The doctor grabs a bag valve mask. "I need to pump air from this atmosphere into your lungs before you can have the baby." Liz has another contraction.
The doctor lays it over Liz's mouth and nose and pump the air. After a few minutes, she stops and puts the mask away. Liz starts having another contraction.
"Are you feeling okay?" The doctor asks. Liz nods.
"Can I just have this baby?" She gasps. She's having another contraction.
"Okay, Princess Cassiopeia, I'm going to need you to push." The doctor says.
After a little while, I hear a shrill scream. The doctor smiles and states. "It's a boy."
"A boy?" I ask. The doctor nods. Liz smiles. They clean the baby, then hand him to Liz.
"What should we name him?" Liz asks.
"What do you think of naming him Alex?" I ask. She smiles brightly.
"Alex, it is." She kisses the baby's forehead. Liz hands him to me. I hold him gently and feel his soft skin.
"Cassiopeia, Zan. I have to take your baby for test." The black hair guy from earlier appears.
"What's your name sir?" The doctor asks.
"It's Parren. I was sent for the baby, by the king." The doctor nods to me. I look at Liz with a worried expression.
Liz frowns. "I don't want you to have my b-"
"Give me the baby! It's in danger. Don't you want to save his life." Parren snaps.
"You have 1 hour." I give him the baby. Parren leaves with the baby and I look back at Liz.
A single tear slides down her cheek. "It will be okay."
"You're ri-" she stops with wide eyes.
