Part B

Later that evening Isabel was in her room. She locked the door and grabbed her yearbook. She was going to dream walk her. It was about 10 in the night so hopefully wherever Liz was she would be asleep. Isabel concentrated and fell asleep in the plane that was dreams.

Isabel found herself in the Crashdown. It was empty. It felt lonely. It was eerily quiet. She heard a noise and saw that it was Liz. She got up to get a drink. Liz noticed in the corner of her eye, a figure. She saw that it was Isabel. She was prepared though. She knew Isabel was smart and would either be doing this for herself, but most liking for Max. Before she left she told Maria and Alex to be extra careful when they went to sleep. She told them to not think of her and the baby, but dream of happy thoughts. Liz remembered Alex making a face. He said to her, "So if Isabel is in my dream it's because of you, and not me. Man, does that suck ass."

Liz got her drink and went over to Isabel. She didn't think she would notice that she was there. But this is Liz Parker, you can't fool her.

"I'm not telling you where I am," Liz said cold-heartly, "I'm happy" she lied, "I don't want to talk to him or anyone of you. I came here to get away from the mess that is Max and Tess, I don't belong there. You're bad for Alex," this one was for the win, "You play him on and say you're not interested and then what? You flirt with that geologist. What's his name? Grant who is clearly much older. Alex is a wonderful person. I don't know why he puts up with all your crap. He deserves someone better, someone human." Liz slammed her fist on the counter top. She just let everything spill and thought of things that would make Isabel hate her. She probably already hated her for what she did to Max, he probably told her already.

"Liz, I always knew you were bad for him, I thought we could trust you. Why come back? Stay where you are. Max doesn't deserve you, he's happy, he..he's..with Tess." Isabel didn't know what to say. So she knew Liz and Tess had an unspoken animosity between each other. She was so angry. How could Liz say such things? She wouldn't understand, she didn't. After a year of what they have been though and Liz was acting like...like such a bitch.

It took a lot for Liz to say those things. She didn't mean them, ok maybe the stuff about Alex. It was true. She was miserable in New Orleans. It was nothing like Roswell. And the school web site? Totally lied. She hated it, she was away from her friends, and was away from Max, but she couldn't look at him. She had a hard of enough time when they would have class together. Her apartment made her feel so alone. No one ever stopped by. She couldn't go out, she would have pains in her womb. She thought that her baby was in danger, but she couldn't let anyone know about it. She would occasionally phone Maria and tell her what was going on and she took it upon herself to mail her some herbal remedies she read about.

But she had to make this believable. She stood up and dragged Isabel to the door. Almost there, Liz would think to herself. "Get out, I don't want you in my dreams," she yelled. She pushed her out. When Isabel was outside of the Crashdown, the floor opened up. She fell in the black hole, she screamed for dear life.

Isabel woke up. She let out a little scream. She put her hand over her heart. Never did she see Liz be so mean. It was so real.

Max was in his room changing cds when he heard his sister. He raced to her room and found her gasping for air.

"Iz what happened?" he sat on the corner of her bed. She hugged him tightly and he saw what she did. He saw her yearbook to the page that had Liz's picture.

He pulled away, "Why did you do that?" He stood up, he slowly paced the room, "You heard what Maria and her parents said. She wants her privacy, why do you think she left?"

"Max, I wanted to give you some answers. Have you looked in the mirror lately? You looked like you've had your heart ripped out. What did she do to you? Tell me, don't leave me out," she pleaded with her brother. She wanted answers.

"I don't want to talk about it, its in the past, leave it that way, I don't want you to bring back what happened?" Max said. It hurt, but what was done was done, if he couldn't get Liz to talk to him personally, he didn't want his sister to be the mediator.

"Fine Max I just wanted to help you, go back and sulk, but I won't watch," Isabel said. I didn't even get a thank you. Try to help and look what happens. The moping man lives on.

Chapter 3
------------------------------------------------

Bat your eyes girl
Be otherworldly
Count your blessings
Seduce a stranger
What's so wrong with
Being happy
Kudos to those who
See through sickness
When she woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning!
"Don't ever let life pass you by"
I suggest we
Learn to love ourselves before it's
Made illegal
When will we learn?
When will we change?
Just in time to
See it all fall down
Those left standing...will make millions
Writing books on the way it should have been
When she woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning!
"Don't ever let life pass you by"
Floating in this
Cosmic jacuzzi
We are like frogs oblivious
To the water
Starting to boil
No one flinches
We all flow face down
When she woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning!
"Don't ever let life pass you by."
~Incubus, "Warning", Morning View, 2001

In the next years, there were significant marking points in Liz, her baby and those she cared about in Roswell. After Liz left, he was sure he would never be able to find anyone. Sure, he was a guy and would look at girls, but no one was his Liz, he learned however to be nicer to Tess, and accepted her into his world. Max was a hermit for a couple of months, but Tess was always there when he was in his weakest moments. They dated throughout the rest of high school.

After junior year, Alex and Maria both went to New Orleans. They helped Liz throughout her pregnancy. Maria was right, Liz did have weird cravings, when she was almost due she would always have before she went to bed a glass of milk with a sprinkle of tabasco sauce. It wasn't good, but it was something she needed to have. Everything had to have tabasco. It was really disgusting. Maria was about to puke when she saw Liz put tabasco sauce in chocolate ice cream. And Liz actually enjoyed it! It was a normal pregnancy, except for the tabasco sauce. Morning sickness, she would usually wake up Alex with the sound of her running to the bathroom. The cravings, the lower back pains. But the weirdest thing was when one night when Liz was sleeping, she put her hand over her womb and she saw flashes of her baby. It was a boy. She had the weirdest thoughts about the baby. Would it be human? Would he have powers? Would he be green and have large tentacles? Ok, so maybe that was stretching it, but it's possible, right?

The baby was born into the world late July. Both of her friends were there. Alex a couple of weeks before did some research, so that he knew what was going to happen and he wanted to make sure he wasn't going to faint. Yes, faint. Once in bio class they had to watch a video of the reproductive system and when the woman gave birth, Alex almost fainted. He never thought it would be that graphic. Lucky for him, Maria had some of the herbal sniffers she always carried. And a couple of days later, we had a career day in school. And we had these lectures, so I got some pretty good lectures, Alex on the other hand, had a Ob/Gyn lecture. He felt so embarassed. Maria kept making fun of him, especially since Isabel got that class too, he received a book on the labor process and I would have thought he would have burned the book as soon as he got home, but when I was giving birth he had that by his side.

When the baby was a couple of months old, he learned his first word. Oh, by the way the baby's name is Connor. Why Connor? I don't know. Connor Evans just flows together. Ok, so I took Max's last name. Don't kill me ok. Anyway, back to Connor's first word, so you thought it would be "mama" or "dada", nope, it was all Alex's fault. Alex has the tendency to say the word "dude", ALOT. So one day after school and when Maria and Alex had off, Alex was trying to make Connor say his name, so he would say "Dude, c'mon say Alex" Really it was the cutest thing. So then Alex just gave up. "Dudddddddeeeeeeee" Alex said to the baby, pleadingly. He giggled, Connor really loves Alex. Alex is the only male figure in Connor's life, so I think he thinks Alex is his father. So when Alex turned around to get his baby bottle, Connor started saying "dude". I was in the next room, and when I felt that he was saying something I ran and got my camera, and true to what I said Connor say "dude". For days that's all the baby would say. "Dude, dude, dude." Wow, my baby said something. So what that it was "dude"? I have a baby. To be honest, when I was pregnant I didn't really think I would be so close to him. I mean, yeah, I'm bringing a child into the world, but Connor was born out of love. Yeah it was Future Max, but it was Max. But I do regret it though. But Connor is a blessing. I probably sound contradicting, but I guess you can say it's complex. Everything sometimes gets bottled up, I want to tell Maria and Alex, but I see that they're having a good time here in New Orleans, and with Connor, I don't want to spoil it. But I'll die that way, won't I? I haven't written in my journal in a while. Maybe I'll share an entry with you.

But I do want to share something with you, the weirdest but most incredible thing. Remember when I said I wasn't sure if the baby would be alien? Well, he is.

I don't know if he's fully alien, but he has powers. Me and him are able to communicate. At first I thought I was dreaming. I just heard babble in my head, the normal baby talk. It wasn't like the movie, Look Who's Talking. But has the months progressed, I heard words and felt feelings. Like I knew exactly when the baby was hungry or when the baby wanted to play. At first I thought it was the motherly instincts you get when you have a baby, but its so much more that than. Maria was clearly freaked out about it, but she found kinda cool. Alex on the other hand went straight to the computer and tried to look things up. We conluded that Connor isn't fully alien. Since Max is a hybrid, he's half and half. And I'm fully human, except with the changes, but I think that started to develop with Connor being born. So with Max's 50 percent and my 100 percent of humaness, assuming that Max is 50 percent human, that would make Connor 25 percent alien and 75 percent human.

All this happened and no one in Roswell ever knew.

Once I finished high school I was able to keep the apartment, good because it would have been hard to get one in this neighborhood. Being here for 4 years, everything grows on you. I still miss Roswell and its residents, but I like it here. There's a park down the street that I take Connor too and there also he took his first steps.

Maria and Michael, well they didn't really work it out. They tried to have the long distance relationship but it just didn't work out. But really they did try. I think Michael wanted Maria to have a normal life, and with her being here it would just be easier. But I think that if Maria and Michael would to be in the same room together, alone, they would definitely be back together. Maria doesn't really talk about him, I think she wants to get over what she had with him.

Alex and Isabel - Their thing went sour the first summer Alex came out here. I guess what I said a while back really got to her. But I heard from Kyle that they actually talk. A couple of times, I caught Alex talking on the phone to someone late at night. So maybe there isn't anything, but at least they're friends. I really hope they're friends.

Max and Tess - Well I haven't really heard anything. When I talked to Kyle, he stayed clear from them. So I guess something did happen between them. Do I still have feelings for Max? Of course I do, but with all the secrets that I've kept do you think we could ever go back to what we had? The looks, the kisses, the innocent glances, the sneaky smiles? Maybe, if Future Max would have never come. I guess its possible. Actually I think it would have happened. But here I am, I'm alone with a baby to raise and two really good friends.

Somewhere outside of Roswell

"Where could the Messiah be?" Murdoch said to himself. He was very impatient. His brotherhood had been in search for the Messiah for a number of years now. They thought it was in Roswell. But the messengers have searched though out the whole town. They even found the Royal Four, but that wasn't their mission. The brotherhood wanted the Messiah, and they were going to find the baby no matter what.

The brotherhood were social outcasts of Antar. Exiled from the main land, they became larger with every protest. Earth was their Babylon. They tried numerous times to overthrow Kivar, but nothing worked. The army that Rath had trained and perfected by Kivar was too strong for the brotherhood. The third party tried to fill positions in Kivar's party, but they were out numbered by the legion of Kivar's people. Kivar was a dictatorship, he ruled the whole planet. His subjects were not fond of him, no one was. But no one was couragous to stand up to him. They knew they would be killed immediately if they were lucky by Kivar's secret police, if they weren't lucky, the unforunate would be the light in Kivar's office. Most were given a slow and painful death, sometimes screams would fill the air, when the ill - fated "hero" was burned.

When Zan, and the queen fell, the brotherhood tried to gain control, but Kivar was swift and cunning and they once again fell. But now they had a plan, a plan that would not fail them. The Messiah or the son of the mighty Zan would be the way to gain control of Antar, and ultimately the universe.

"Murdoch, sir, we have a disturbance in a place called New Orleans. We believe that the Messiah is there", Madison said. Thank the heavens that be, that they found the Messiah, he thought. He was dying to leave Earth. All he saw here was pain, coldness, cruelty, everything that wasn't his home planet. He had been here for over 2 years and he had enough. A place like Earth was not easy to get adjusted to, when you come from Antar, even though Kivar is at the reigns.

"Finally a breakthrough, gather the hood, we will leave immediately," Murdoch said.

"Finally, we will go home."
