Here comes some explaination about the first chapter. I'm still not sure exactly who the MAD scientist is yet....still working on that one
Chapter 11
'Isabel contacted me.'
'What?' both Liz and Tess asked surprised. 'What did she say? What are they doing to find us?' they both asked at once.
'She finally got through to me in my dream. She was trying to find out where we were. I am not sure if I helped her too much. I have also found out more about us.'
'How?' Tess asked.
'I've been having these dreams. They show me things. I have not told anyone about them because they were always so fragmented and chaotic that I could not really explain them. I still can't but now they are more clear, I am remembering them after I wake. The main picture that I keep seeing is that I see us all together. Not just the four of us that are hybrids but eight of us in a circle. When the four of us are together we are strong but when there is eight, we can be almost invincible.
'What do you mean eith? Tess asked. 'Who are the other four, the dupes?' she silently hoped not.
'Tess you were right, we do have a destiny. One where we are all together but not with each other. We each have human mates that enhance our energy and powers. They also strengthen our bond to each other for we are all connected. But we do not choose them, they must choose us. That part has happened.'
'What do you mean we've been chosen? By whom?' Tess demanded. Max could feel her panic but Liz was calm and just listened. Tess was not going to be with someone she did not love. She had learned that lesson with Max. It just doesn't work.
Max could not help but let a slight grin escape at Tess's reaction. 'In my dreams I saw four pairs forming the four-square. I saw Liz and me, Maria and Michael, Alex and Isabel, and...' He paused knowing that Tess was holding her breath. 'Kyle and you.' Tess let her breath out slowly with relief.
'All of the humans know who and what we are.' Max continued. 'They have accepted their fates with us no matter what the consequences are. Only when we are together are we the strongest. When we are together once more we will perform a joining ceremony that will connect all of our energies. Only then will the four-square be complete.'
'How do you know that this is really correct?' Tess was weary. She had been told so many things that were not right that it was hard to trust.
'Look into your heart Tess. Despite what Nasado told you, you are still half human and it is not your weakness but a strength as is your friends and family.'
Max paused and let Tess ponder on what he said. After several moments he continued because he was feeling tired again but he wanted to finish what he had to say.
'I also know what happened between us. What we did had to happen. It was a ritual, one that would allow us all a future with our chosen humans. That was the night that Tess finally gave me up completely. She was my wife in our other lives and we died married. She had to release me to your care Liz in this life. The ritual was interrupted however. We were suppose to wake together and the contact would allow us this new connection to help with the joining of hybrids and humans. Because of our forced separation the completion was postponed. With the three of us together again it strengthened us and that was why Iz with Michael's help was able to break through the barrier that is blocking our powers. It is close to completion.'
Max felt very tired and weak again. He snuggled into Liz. 'Are you alright?' he asked because he noticed how quiet she was.
'Yes. I knew that you would figure it out and when you were explaining it I felt that you are right.' She said as she pulled him tighter against her.
Max closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. Tess lay on the other side of Max replaying all that he said. Her heart was telling her that he was right and she decided that she would listen to it. Tess looked at Liz and smiled. 'I guess we will all be family after all.'
'Yes we will. One big happy alien family.' Liz returned.

Chapter 12
Harper watched the three young people and saw how close they were. Though the male and human were obviously a pair, they included the other female. The male had embraced her but in a much different manner than the human. They had all become very protective of one another, like a special bond had been formed.
Harper also noticed that when the three were together they were more relaxed and at ease dispite the circumstances. There was actually laughter during their time together.
Finding the female with the male had excited Harper. He had to wonder if others in their small group were alien also. He suspected that the male's sister was like him but he was unable to get to her. He had risked a lot getting the ones he had. He would ponder those ideas later and maybe find a way to get them all here. He smiled thinking how the risk paid off by getting the King, his pregnant mate, and a female. Perfect for his study.
"Are you ready for the next tests? Good. Go ahead and separate them. No, take the him first. Yes, I know but don't let them hurt him too much. He heals fast but I need him in decent condition and mobile." Harper spoke into the phone that he had picked up.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Tweedle Dee and Dum entered the room. Max immediately jumped to hes feet ready to defend Liz and Tess. The girls did not like these two men who controled their lives but they also knew that they were just the goons. Someone smarter was ordering them around.
Tess moved in front of Liz trying to block her and the baby from getting hurt. She had seen the damage that these two could do and they liked it, especially to Max. She would not let any harm come to Liz or the baby if she could prevent it.
The two men grabbed Max and pulled him toward the door. Tess was suddenly filled with rage. Her protectiveness toward Max and Liz took flight. She rushed forward as Max struggled to get away from them. Tweedle Dum saw Tess come toward them from the corner of his eye and easily swatted her away like a fly.
Max felt Tess's pain as she was hit and his rage reached a boiling point. He gathered all of his strength and yanked out of the goons' grip. He turned to the surprised men and punched the closest one then the other before either could react. If he had his powers, bother men would be dead now but without them all he managed to do was distract them for a moment and make them angry. The men gathered their wits and subdued Max making sure that his actions were retaliated.
"Max!" Liz screamed trying to get his attention. She was sitting with Tess on the floor where she lay unconscious. "Stop it. Just got with them. No more."
When Max heard her words and felt her emotions he went limp allowing the men to drag him out.
"I'm sorry." He said as he disappeared through the door.
Liz felt the guilt he had for not being able to protect them. 'Tess will be ok. I will be fine also.'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The two men threw Max into his cell making sure that their retaliation was complete causing him more pain.
"You should listen to your little girlfriend more often. She knows that your scrawny ass is not match for us. She knows that we could easily stomp you like the little insect that you are. Maybe she would like to know what it is like to be with real men." Tweedle Dee said to Max as he crawled to the mat.
Max looked upa nd glared at them while Dum stood behind Tweedle Dee nodding and laughing in agreement.
"You touch either one, I will kill you both." He said through clentched teeth trying to get control of his anger.
The two men just laughed as they left the room.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Tess was next to be taken back to her cell. She was still unconscious so they threw her over a shoulder. When Dum dropped her to the mat he stood there, his eyes feasting on her.
"Are you sure we can't?" He asked.
"The boss says absolutely not. I like this gig and want to keep it. Maybe he will let us later when he is done."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Liz was last. When the men tried to grab ehr arms to escort her back she glared at them and stepped back.
"Don't touch me!" She said her voice soaked with venom.
When they stopped their movements, she went to the door and wiated for the men to open it. When they did she led the way down the hall. With her back to them she missed the dumbfounded looks on the large men's faces. When Liz entered the cell she saw that the cold, steel table was set up again. She starred at it whishing that they would leave her alone.
"The pants have to go." Tweedle Dee said.
Liz whirled around and gave them another angry glare. She knew that they enjoyed abusing their power and seeing them squirm and fight back. No more, she thought. They were not going to get to her again.
"We can do this one of two ways. You can do it yourself and get up on the table or..." Dee paused letting a smile come to his lips. "We can do it for you and hope no one gets hurt in the process."
Liz stood her ground and refused to let them see her fear that crawled through her body. She shook her head. "Turn around." she demanded.
Again this small, petite gurl shocked the goons. Where was the timid, frightened girl they tormented earlier? Now stood a confident, assertive woman.
"I..."
"No." she interrupted him, her voice full of authority. "I said turn around if you want me to cooperate. Besides..." her voice became softer and sweeter. "Would your boss be happy if either myself or the baby was harmed?"
The men knew that she was right. They had specific instructions that no matter what happedned to the others, this one was not to be harmed or manhandled in ANY way. It now seemed that she had figured them out and their threats were empty now.
Liz released her breath when the men turned. She had vowed to herself after she saw what they did to Max and Tess that she would no longer be the weak, crying girl that they had captured. She was now a Queen and she needed to protect Max's heir, her child, anyway possible.
Liz was glad that they could not see her hands trembling as she slid her pants off and lay on the table covering herself with a sheet that was provided.
"I am finished."
The men turned and saw that she was positioned on the table. They approached and strapped her wrists and ankles then left without another word to her.
She was not alone long when the medical team came in. She never saw their faces because of the masks they wore. They were there to do more tests on her and the baby. When the tests began, Liz closed her eyes trying to keep the tears at bay. She concentrated on Max. She needed him.
'Max?' she called out in her mind.
'I am here love. Are you alright?'
'Yeah. I just needed to feel you.'
'I feel your anguish. What is happening?'
'They are just doing some tests again.'
'How can you be so sure?'
'Tess' both Max and Liz said relieved.
'Are you hurt?' Liz asked.
'No. I just have a bad headache. Thanks. What kind of test?' she wouldnot let the subject drop.
'They have done them before. they are checking the baby and me. Gathering data. Sometimes it gets uncomfortable.' Liz felt the anger coming greatly from Max and then felt it from Tess.
'If they hurt my son...or you...'
'They won't. Don't worry Max. I am too valuable to them right now. Just let me feel you.' Liz begged needing the comfort that she knew that he could provide. Lying as still and quiet as possible, Liz felt Max's loving embrace surround her along with the caring and ecouragement from Tess. They all longed for the day to be free again.

Chapter 13
Peterson sat in a chair next to Harper. They were going over the results of the latest tests, especially on Liz.
"The baby is fine. It seems to be developing at a slightly faster rate than humans so her gestation period is going to be shorter than the normal 40 weeks but we are unsure exactly how long. Also we are unsure of if it is a boy or girl yet. For some reason we are not able to tell yet."
"Hmmmm." Harper sat and rubbed his chin reviewing the papers in front of him. He looked up at the monitor and saw that Max was pacing again. He looked like a caged tiger, ready to pounce at any moment. "Look at him Peterson. His agitation is building by the hour. He is becoming more aggressive. He does not like not having control. I can guarantee that if one of the females were with him, he would be calmer. He seems to have a need to be near them."
He looked at the other monitor and saw that Liz was mirroring Max's movements along the wall that separated them."The human is doing the same. I think that they can sense each other and the need for contact grows greater the longer they are apart." Harper turned to Peterson. "Make sure that is recorded and then I want to speak with him."
"Are you sure that is wise? He looks to be very dangerous right now."
"Have them prepare him for my visit."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Tweedle Dee and Dum entered Max's cell anticipating his attack. They have enjoyed their ventures into his cell on occasion. It broke up the monotony fo their job recently. However, they were disappointed when the neckband was used to subdue him first. They cuffed his hands behind him then placed ankle shackles on him with a small chain between the two. This caused Max to lean back slightly giving him very little room to move.
As soon as he was secured the door opened again and a man walked in. Max noticed that he was not really that tall and dressed causually. His salt and pepper hair reached his collar making him look to be in his fifties. He approached Max and smiled down at him.
"Hello Max."

"Hello Max."
Harper took a folding chair that one of the goons was holding and straddled it in front of Max. He was acting so casual like they were close friends. He looked to the two men by the door and they left leaving Harper and Max alone.
"Finally, I come face to face with the might King who will save his race. Honestly, at first we were lookign for someone older. Wiser. I was shocked when I discovered that the great king was just a teenage boy." He paused to study Max whose face expressed disinterest. Harper smiled at him.
"Where are my manners. I have not introduced myself. I am Dr. Paul Harper. I run this facility." He gestured to the room. His voice conveyed pride in his accpmplishment.
"I know a lot about you Max. I have watched you for some time now." He paused to note any reaction from Max but his expression was frozen in disinterest. "I know all about your adventures since the day you saved Liz. I came across some very interesting files in my research recently. They were written by a Mr. Daniel Pierce."
Harper saw a flicker of fear and pain cross the boy's face. Hearing Pierce's name brought back the memories of the torture that he executed on Max.
"Aahh, you do remember Agent Pierce, don't you? The files stated that you and he spent a good amount of time bonding during your time with him. Care to elaborate on those discussions?"
Harper received silence. "Well I able to piece together who you were from his notes and the ones I have from the shooting and your brief hospital stay when you wrecked your jeep. Two of those reports listed a strange shaped birthmark on the inside of your right thigh. The four-square."
Harper saw a spark of interest flicker in his eyes.
"This facility is not part of the Special Unit but it is funded by the governemt. We are research based. We like to study things. Figure things out. You and Liz are like that aren't you? You both like science and puzzles."
"Your child is doing well. Growing strong and healthy like its mother. You chose wisely. She is the perfect vessel for your heir."
Harper's sudden change of topic threw Max for a moment. Max was tired and was trying to concentrate on what the man was saying. He wanted to demand answers but he knew that he would get none that way. He was in absolutely no position for demands. He would bite his tongue and stay silent.
"I have been interested in you before you were born here on this earth. I studied under Dr. Aaron Levon. Have you ever heard of him?" Harper looked at Max and was greeted with silence. It was unnerving. He got up and paced the room. Harper was expecting Max to demand answers and act like a teenager but as he looked at him, Harper saw that there was little that was normal about the boy before him.
"He was one of the original scientists at the '47 crash. He documented all that he observed and became a little obsessed with finding this king that was to be born. I helped him with his research the last few years of his life then when he died, I continued it.
"Did you know that there were originally four aliens in the crash. Two were found dead, thoses were used for autopsies. One was injured and then later the last was found also. He was also the one that escaped later. You know him as Nassado. He was the one that took your pods to safety.
"When Nassado escaped, he thought that the third alien was dead but he still had a few years left in it. Because of him, Dr. Levon was able to find how your powers work and then how to surpress them so that you are no longer dangerous. That was were Pierce went wrong. He used drugs. They make the subject uncooperative and really affect the results of tests. Wouldn't you say?"
Harper stopped pacing and sat down again looking intently at Max.
"Did you know that Nassado hated you? He hated humans and what they did to him so his dislike for you was great because you are a hybrid." Harper chuckled. "The person he was suppose to protect, he hated. Classic.
"Dr. Levon was able to stuggle through the language barrier and got information on the king and the four-square but there were still a lot of blanks to fill. Then my luck changed. A couple of years ago we found another type of alien. I believe you call them 'skins'. She was a great help when we finally convinced her to cooperate. Did you know that she tried to kill herself several times instead of giving us any information on you? Even though she was your enemy she was still loyal to your planet until that is I convinced her otherwise. I can be very persuasive."
Harper leaned forward toward Max. "Do you know your purpose here Max? Do you know why you were sent here?" He saw the doubt in Max's eyes. Could he really not know why he was here?
"You are here to save your race. They are dying. They wanted their great king who was assasinated to be reborn and to live among humans. To multiply and keep your planet's heritage alive. Their special powers.
"Is your sister Isabel like you? Would we find a royal mark on her like Tess?"
This brought a brief reaction to Max's face when Harper mentioned his sister. Again the subject change was abrupt. Harper saw the weakness.
"Maybe they sent you with several females to help you carry out your mission. There is obviously Tess, then Isabel, from your reaction. Liz of course we know is human so that could only leave the other blonde in the group. What is her name?" Harper paused as if to think. "That's right, Maria. Maybe I should start planning on how to get them to join our happy group."
Max could no longer surpress his anger. "You Bastard." he growled through clenched teeth. "If you touch them, I will..."
"You will what, Max?" Harper interruped. "Without your powers, all I see before me is a you teenage boy. Why should I be scared of that?"
Max smirked as he watched Harper rise from the chair. "If you are not afraid why am I restrained?" Max allowed his frustration to seep into his voice. He knew Harper was right. Without his powers he was a normal person with no control. But then he saw the pleased expression leave Harper's face and saw a flash of fear. Max was right. He was scared. Harper turned and left the room.

"He was one of the original scientists at the '47 crash. He documented all that he observed and became a little obsessed with finding this king that was to be born. I helped him with his research the last few years of his life then when he died, I continued it.
"Did you know that there were originally four aliens in the crash. Two were found dead, thoses were used for autopsies. One was injured and then later the last was found also. He was also the one that escaped later. You know him as Nassado. He was the one that took your pods to safety.
"When Nassado escaped, he thought that the third alien was dead but he still had a few years left in it. Because of him, Dr. Levon was able to find how your powers work and then how to surpress them so that you are no longer dangerous. That was were Pierce went wrong. He used drugs. They make the subject uncooperative and really affect the results of tests. Wouldn't you say?"
Harper stopped pacing and sat down again looking intently at Max.
"Did you know that Nassado hated you? He hated humans and what they did to him so his dislike for you was great because you are a hybrid." Harper chuckled. "The person he was suppose to protect, he hated. Classic.
"Dr. Levon was able to stuggle through the language barrier and got information on the king and the four-square but there were still a lot of blanks to fill. Then my luck changed. A couple of years ago we found another type of alien. I believe you call them 'skins'. She was a great help when we finally convinced her to cooperate. Did you know that she tried to kill herself several times instead of giving us any information on you? Even though she was your enemy she was still loyal to your planet until that is I convinced her otherwise. I can be very persuasive."
Harper leaned forward toward Max. "Do you know your purpose here Max? Do you know why you were sent here?" He saw the doubt in Max's eyes. Could he really not know why he was here?
"You are here to save your race. They are dying. They wanted their great king who was assasinated to be reborn and to live among humans. To multiply and keep your planet's heritage alive. Their special powers.
"Is your sister Isabel like you? Would we find a royal mark on her like Tess?"
This brought a brief reaction to Max's face when Harper mentioned his sister. Again the subject change was abrupt. Harper saw the weakness.
"Maybe they sent you with several females to help you carry out your mission. There is obviously Tess, then Isabel, from your reaction. Liz of course we know is human so that could only leave the other blonde in the group. What is her name?" Harper paused as if to think. "That's right, Maria. Maybe I should start planning on how to get them to join our happy group."
Max could no longer surpress his anger. "You Bastard." he growled through clenched teeth. "If you touch them, I will..."
"You will what, Max?" Harper interruped. "Without your powers, all I see before me is a you teenage boy. Why should I be scared of that?"
Max smirked as he watched Harper rise from the chair. "If you are not afraid why am I restrained?" Max allowed his frustration to seep into his voice. He knew Harper was right. Without his powers he was a normal person with no control. But then he saw the pleased expression leave Harper's face and saw a flash of fear. Max was right. He was scared. Harper turned and left the room.

Taken: Chapter 15
Chapter 15
Max watched as the two hench men walked into his cell. Their faces were smug. By their body language, Max could see that they were ready for him but they would be disappointed. Max was seething from Harper's comment but while he was alone he allowed Liz and Tess to connect with him and they helped to calm his anger. They could not stand the thought of Max being hurt anymore.
Tweedle Dum diconnected the small chain that held his wrists near his ankles then took off the ankle shackles. The two men hoisted Max up. The intense pain in his shoulders and arms caused a grunt to escape but no other sound. Max was dead weight because he did not fight or struggle but made the men practically carry in down the hall.
The men dropped him on the floor of the bathroom and took the cuffs off. They prepared for an attack but none came. They watched Max sit where they had dropped him looking at his wrists as he rub them. He missed the disappointment that crossed their faces. They did not realize the control that Max was having to use to keep from attacking them but he still felt Liz as she poured her love into him. When the men saw that no fun was to be had, they left. Max let out a sigh of relief when he heard the door click shut. He got up, shed his clothing and immersed himself under the hot water needing it to relax and calm his aching body.
The noise of the water covered the sound of the door as it opened then closed again but Max knew right away that Tess was there. He turned off the water and wrapped a towel around his waist before he approached her. There was still a bruise visible on her cheek where she had been hit. He reached out and gently caressed it. She smiled at him letting him know that she was fine. He turned his back to her as she shed her clothing and enjoyed a shower as he had done.
Max was sitting on the counter with his back against the mirror listening to the shower run when movement of the door caught his attention. He smiled because he could feel her coming closer. He watched as Liz strolled into the room as she owned the place leaving Tweedle brothers at the door with baffled lookes. He jumped down off the counter and rushed her her.
Immediately his lips came to hers as he simultaneously pulled her close to his body. He hardened against her as she moaned into his mouth. Her warmth instantly spread through his body causing a fire to ignite in his groin. His hands were roaming her body as their kiss deepened. His need for her grew with each second that he held her. The world slipped away from them as they held one another.
Max slowly came back to reality when Liz pulled slightly away breaking the kiss. He heard a clearing of a throat behind him and his mind finally registered that water was no longer running. Liz's face became tinged with pink and a giggle escaped. Max rested his forehead on Liz's and let out a sigh. He had forgotten that Tess was in the shower. As soon as he had seen Liz nothing else mattered, just his need to touch her and be with her.
"I really need a shower Max." Liz said to Max smiling. He understood the double meaning behind the statement. He released her allowing her to undress and go to the stall. Max sat back on the counter and sat on his hands. He knew that if he offered to help that there would be no turning back and Tess would get a show. Tess had dressed during their makeout session and now stood beside Max passing a brush through her hair. She watched Max as he watched Liz shower. She could not help but giggle seeing the muscles in his jaw twitch and how his hands gripped the counter that was under his legs.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Later the three sat around the table felling more refreshed and somewhat better for the moment. Both Max and Tess had lost a little weight during the time they have spent in what they considered a hellhole but Liz flourished. The pregnacy was treating her well and she was filled with energy. Max noticed a glow that radiated around her. Despite what they were all going through Liz felt good.
Quietly Max relayed the information that Harper told him to the girls. They were quiet as they discussed it knowing that he was probably watching them. Max and Tess were feeling tired again so they decided it was time to try and contact Isabel again. Max and Liz held each other close on the matress while Tess lay on the other side of Max making sure she held her hand on his body keeping their connection open.
They allowed the quiet to lull them into a relaxed state, they were not asleep yet not fully awake either. They did not know how much time had passed but Max heard Isabel call to him. Max and Isabel joined together in a connection rather easily this time. They felt Michael and Tess surrounding them along with another essence.
'Max! Where have you been? Is everything all right? We have been so worried.'
'It's ok, they separated us for a while but we are together again. It seems that the three of us must have contact to override the power block. What did you find?'
' We found out where you are thanks to Alex and the Sheriff. We have a plan to try to get you out. Is Tess ok?'
The last question threw Max. Why would Isabel specifically ask about Tess? 'She's fine.'
'Good. Kyle is driving me crazy. He is worried sick about her and made me promise to ask'
'Tell him that she can't wait to get out of here and see him. So what is the plan? When are you going to do it? We have no concept of time here so we may not be able to help much. Also I don't know how long we will be together this time. They keep separating us periodically.'
Isabel gave Max a brief run down of the plan that Michael and the Sheriff devised. Knowing that they may not be together much longer they decided that it would be done that night, just hours away.
'Iz, make sure everyone come. We may need them.'
'Well Alex will be helping us with the computers, Kyle has already insisted that he come, and Maria has not let Michael out of her sight since you guys disappeared. We will all be there.'
Max smiled at the thought of Maria constantly hanging around Michael and nagging him about one thing or another and playing mother hen to him. 'Alright Iz, we will see you soon and please be careful. These people do not play. They go for what hurts.'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Feigning sleep, Max told Liz and Tess about his conversation with Isabel. He could feel Tess's joy when he told her about how Kyle was behaving. He knew that she was anxious to see him and finally tell him how she felt about him.
Tess was so excited that she could no longer lie still as she began to feel restless. She got up and tried to act nonchalant and the others soon followed her.
They sat at the table picking at a meal that had been served when Liz felt her right hand tingling. As she looked at it and moved it about she noticed a slight amber glow to it. Fortunately her back was to the camera so her body hid the glow but she pulled it close to her body.
"Max" she gasped keeping her tone low.
He looked down where she was looking and saw the glow. He quickly covered her hand with his and felt a surge of power run through him chasing away his fatigue and pain that he had felt since being brought to this place.
Tess looked at what was happening. 'What is happening?'
'Tess, put your hand on mine.' Max said.
She did as he said and felt the rush of power, cleansing her systen as it had done with Max.
'It's the baby' Liz smiled. 'He knows what is going on and is doing his part in helping us and protecting us.'
The all smiled at the thought.

Chapter 16
Jim Valenti, Michael, Isabel, Maria, Alex, and Kyle stood in the darkness of the shadows by a fence that surrounded the abandoned military base. It was approximately 30 miles north of Roswell. The base was deserted about three years ago. It was mainly used for scientific research. The group watched the area for a time but saw no guards making rounds. The place was as quiet as a tomb.
Alex and Jim did some research on the place and found that it had a state-of-the-art security system as well as the plans to the buildings. Maria held the laptop as Alex hacked into the security system. It took several moments but he was finally able to break the code. Quickly he deactivated the alarm on the fence at the section they were waiting. Michael was watching Alex waiting for the signal. When Alex nodded Michael raised his hand and the piece of fence in front of him disintegrated leaving a hole for them to go through.
Jim lead the group toward the farthest building. Earlier Alex was able to find out which building had the security system and power goin. That was the only building so they figured that the others were being held there also. Jim had to admit that Alex could be real handy to have around. Jim lead the group single file noting where the cameras were and how to avoid them. There were several areas once they got inside that there was no escaping being seen on camera so Alex created some loop footage long enough for them to pass by.
As they slowly trudged down the maze of halls Michael and Isabel felt Max and Tess's presence grow stonger as they grew closer to them. Isabel stopped in front a door and stared at it. The others noticed and stood by her.
"They are here." She reached for the handle and unlocked it with her powers. Slowly she turned the handle and opened the door revealing their missing loved ones. The group rushed in and they all embraced.
"Michael, get these damn things off of us. We don't have much time." Max stating what they all knew.
Michael quickly rid Max of his neckband with his powers which he noticed had been easier to control and more precise as of late. He went to Tess and pryed her out of Kyle's embrace to do away with her band.
"Uh, guys," Alex called out. "Our time has just run ot. Expect company soon." At that moment an alarm sounded in the distance. The group of aliens and humans gathered around Max, Liz and Tess ready to do battle with whoever walked in on them.

Chapter 17
When the neckbands were finally off Max and Tess they felt a huge rush of power go through thier bodies. As they waited for their enemies to come rushing into the room the two began to feel wierd. Something was not right. Their bodies began to feel overloaded. Their powers had been surpressed for so long that their human bodies could not handle the sudden freedom. Max and Tess broke out in a sweat and their bodies began to tremble. Max's hands glowed an eerie green while Tess's held a dark purple glow. The glows slowly traveled up their arms and encasing their entire bodies. Liz could feel the pressure that they felt as the power ran through their systems.
The group all took a step back as they watched the changes their friends were going through. No one had a clue as to what was happening to them. Liz instinctively stepped between Tess and Max taking each by the hand. This allowed their excess power to overflow into her and the baby as they acted as filters. Withing minutes, Max and Tess were normal again.
The door flew open before anyone could question what had just happened. Tweedle Dee and Dum entered the room but stopped abruptly when they saw nine faces turn to them. They had heard the alram and knew that it had to do with their 'guests' so they quickly went to the source of the alarm expecting to man-handle at least one or two of them. The room suddenly seemed small and crowded.
The two men glanced back at the door as they heard it slam shut though no one was near it. Tweedle Dum stepped back a couple of steps and tried the handle never taking his eyes off the group in front of him but it would not budge. He slid back up to Tweedle Dee. "The door won't open. The handle won't move at all." he whispered to his comrade.
Max stepped forward as the others formed a tight, protective semi-circle behind him. Liz was directly behind Max while Tess was next to her using her body to halfway shield Liz if needed.
Max saw that their smirks that were always on their faces were now gone replaced by fear.
Max's face was hard and cold. He hated these two men right now more than he hated Pierce. "What is the matter guys? Don't you want to join our party?" Max asked in a low voice that held no humor but filled with coldness.
Both men looked at the others around the boy who they had liked to torture for weeks now avoiding eye contact with Max. He stood tall and sturdy in front of them as they noticed that the neckband was not longer on him. They looked at one another and silently communicated with each other. Suddenly they both reached behind their backs and pulled guns that were hidden under their shirts. They began firing in different directions not really aiming but hoping to catch several of them.
Max had seen the look that passed between them and anticipated their move. He threw up his force field so it would surround the group, the bullets boundcing off the green glow.
When the weapons were empty the men stood shocked that the group was still standing unharmed surrounded by a green glow. Max lowered his shield as the men took a step back. Michael stepped forward and raised his hand and their guns flew from their hands. Max used his powers to slam the two large men against the wall hard knocking the wind from them. He approached them as they sat stunned.
"Max" Isabel tried to interrupt but he simply held his hand up silencing her. The others stood by and watched their leader. Only Liz and Tess could feel his anger that radiated into their soul. They hated these two as much as he did and would not stop Max from his confrontation.
"That was the wrong thing to do." Max growled looking down at them.
Tweedle Dee looked up at Max and smiled. He swiftly kicked at Max catching him behind a leg causing him to fall to his knees. Tweedle Dee reached to his ankle and pulled another gun from a holster strapped there. He lifted the gun and aimed it at Max's head.
"I've been waiting weeks to do this." He said as he pulled the trigger.
Max's survival reflexes took over his body. He twisted to the side bringing his hand up as a beam of light flashed from it. The light hit Tweedle Dee but not before the bullet pierced his left shoulder inches from his heart.
"Max!" Liz screamed as he was hit. She felt the hot, sharp pain as the bullet entered his body. It was a familiar feeling taking her back to the day in the Crashdown. She rushed over and pulled Max to her.
Michael immediately took a stance over Tweedle Dum. He raised his hands in the air showing that he had no weapon. His hands were shaking and sweat poured down his body. He chanced a glance over to his partner in crime as saw a charred mess that resembled a human being. His face turned white and his breathing became rapid. He tightly shut his eyes as his pants suddenly became damp. Michael saw the wet spot appear and grow and could not help but smile.
Max's face turned a shade of gray as blood swiftly gushed from his wound. He closed his eyes, his face etched with pain. Liz placed her hand over the wound as she tried to stop the bleeding.
"Don't do this to me. We need you. I need you. I can't do this on my own. Don't you dare leave me now." Liz pleaded. "Max, please look at me."
He slowly opened his eyes that were dazed with pain. He had felt the pain from Liz and Kyle when he had healed them but it was nothing compared to the real thing. As she tearfully gazed into his beautiful, soulful eyes her hand began to glow. Max felt the warmth and tingle from her hands as she slowly repaired his injury, healing his body like he had done to her what seemed like so long ago.
His color returned and he smiled. "Thanks."
Liz helped him to his feet. Max was still weak and a little unstable so he leaned on Liz. "Don't thank me, thank your son." she whispered in his ear.
Taking a deep breath he pulled himself away from Liz and approached Tweedle Dum. The man was still where he landed when they were slammed against the wall. Pure terror was written all over his face that held an unhealthy shade of white. Max reached down and touched the man on the head. Tweedle Dum jerked and then closed his eyes, slumping over.
"Max?" Jim asked coming up behind him.
"He's fine, just knocked him out for a little while."
"Maxwell. Are you ok?" Michael asked. The room was so silent, everyone in shock at what just happened. They all had so many questions from what they had witnessed in just these long minutes but they knew that they would have to wait.
Max placed a hand on his brother's shoulder and nodded. "Yeah, I'll be fine now." He turned to Alex. "Pull up the plans of this building."
"We've got to go Maxwell." Michael tried to reason with him. Something had happened here, he could feel it. He wanted to just get out of this place. It felt evil.
"Harper has research on us and we need it. Alex let me see what you have." Max looked at the screen and pointed to a room not far from where they were. "Here."
"How do you know?" Kyle asked.
"I just do. Let's go."

Michael stepped forward and raised his hand and their guns flew from their hands. Max used his powers to slam the two large men against the wall hard knocking the wind from them. He approached them as they sat stunned.
"Max" Isabel tried to interrupt but he simply held his hand up silencing her. The others stood by and watched their leader. Only Liz and Tess could feel his anger that radiated into their soul. They hated these two as much as he did and would not stop Max from his confrontation.
"That was the wrong thing to do." Max growled looking down at them.
Tweedle Dee looked up at Max and smiled. He swiftly kicked at Max catching him behind a leg causing him to fall to his knees. Tweedle Dee reached to his ankle and pulled another gun from a holster strapped there. He lifted the gun and aimed it at Max's head.
"I've been waiting weeks to do this." He said as he pulled the trigger.
Max's survival reflexes took over his body. He twisted to the side bringing his hand up as a beam of light flashed from it. The light hit Tweedle Dee but not before the bullet pierced his left shoulder inches from his heart.
"Max!" Liz screamed as he was hit. She felt the hot, sharp pain as the bullet entered his body. It was a familiar feeling taking her back to the day in the Crashdown. She rushed over and pulled Max to her.
Michael immediately took a stance over Tweedle Dum. He raised his hands in the air showing that he had no weapon. His hands were shaking and sweat poured down his body. He chanced a glance over to his partner in crime as saw a charred mess that resembled a human being. His face turned white and his breathing became rapid. He tightly shut his eyes as his pants suddenly became damp. Michael saw the wet spot appear and grow and could not help but smile.
Max's face turned a shade of gray as blood swiftly gushed from his wound. He closed his eyes, his face etched with pain. Liz placed her hand over the wound as she tried to stop the bleeding.
"Don't do this to me. We need you. I need you. I can't do this on my own. Don't you dare leave me now." Liz pleaded. "Max, please look at me."
He slowly opened his eyes that were dazed with pain. He had felt the pain from Liz and Kyle when he had healed them but it was nothing compared to the real thing. As she tearfully gazed into his beautiful, soulful eyes her hand began to glow. Max felt the warmth and tingle from her hands as she slowly repaired his injury, healing his body like he had done to her what seemed like so long ago.
His color returned and he smiled. "Thanks."
Liz helped him to his feet. Max was still weak and a little unstable so he leaned on Liz. "Don't thank me, thank your son." she whispered in his ear.
Taking a deep breath he pulled himself away from Liz and approached Tweedle Dum. The man was still where he landed when they were slammed against the wall. Pure terror was written all over his face that held an unhealthy shade of white. Max reached down and touched the man on the head. Tweedle Dum jerked and then closed his eyes, slumping over.
"Max?" Jim asked coming up behind him.
"He's fine, just knocked him out for a little while."
"Maxwell. Are you ok?" Michael asked. The room was so silent, everyone in shock at what just happened. They all had so many questions from what they had witnessed in just these long minutes but they knew that they would have to wait.
Max placed a hand on his brother's shoulder and nodded. "Yeah, I'll be fine now." He turned to Alex. "Pull up the plans of this building."
"We've got to go Maxwell." Michael tried to reason with him. Something had happened here, he could feel it. He wanted to just get out of this place. It felt evil.
"Harper has research on us and we need it. Alex let me see what you have." Max looked at the screen and pointed to a room not far from where they were. "Here."
"How do you know?" Kyle asked.
"I just do. Let's go."

Chapter 18
The entire group walked cautiously through the halls again in search for the area Max needed to go. Max had told them quickly that Harper and the two thugs were the only ones he'd seen except for the medical staff. Unknowing exactly how many people there were they used extreme care.
Alex directed them to the door they hand been searching for and Max unlocked it with his powers. His body was still humming as his energy was free to roam through his body.
They entered the room and found themselves in a large office that had an entire wall covered with monitors. The group stood in front of them seeing that it was set to the camera security system inside and outside of the building but four of the monitors at eye level at the desk showed something different. Three monitors were labeled male, female, and human. The view was three small rooms bare except for a steel table in the one labeled human. The fourth monitor went to the room that they found Max, Liz and Tess in.
Immediately upon entering the room Max began to go through cabinets and drawers for any information he could find about them. After the initial shock of what the monitors showed, the others followed suit throwing tapes and files into boxes that were stacked near the door.
The group turned when they heard the door open. Max, Tess, Michael, and Isabel stepped forward raising their hands in defence ready for action. Max recognized Harper and he stepped toward the older man.
Harper stopped when he entered the room and saw the nine people looking toward him. He had been in the medical lab looking at Liz's latest test results when the alarm had sounded. He tried contacting his men but they would not answer so he made his way back here to see what exactly the security system had picked up on. He looked at the people who approached him. There was Max, his sister Isabel, Tess, and... not the other blonde but the other male, Michael. That surprised him.
"Max. I am not the bad guy here. I am just a scientist, like you and Liz."
Tess stepped near Max. "Keeping people against their will and doing experiments on them is not considered bad? It's all in the name of science?"
"I did not want to hurt anyone. I just wanted to do my research. You know that there are others out there looking for you and they want to eliminate you."
"What then when all of your research is done Dr. Harper. What would become of us if we have not died already?" Max asked. Harper just looked at the young man. He had not thought about when it was all done.
"We just want to live our lives. We want to be teenagers, where our biggest worry is passing a test or being late getting home. We have no agenda, no plans to take over the world or even to save one that we do not remember. We just want to live out normal lives." Max said.
Harper's expression showed some confusion. Did they really not remember their home he asked himself.
"You have all this research and surveillance on us but did you ever think about us. I mean really us as people. We are human. This is our home. We have feelings. What gives you the right to take away our lives?"
Harper stared at Max then his eyes wandered throught he group looking at each person. "Do you really think that you could ever have normal lives? Look at who you are, what you are. You may not realize it yet but you are here for a specific reason. You cannot be normal. You have never been normal. And I can't let you fulfill your destiny."
While Harper was speaking he slowly slid his hand into the pocket of lab jacket he was weraring and took hold of the small gun that was there. With lightening speed he pulled it out aiming it at Max.
"NO!" Max yelled before the others could react. He had seen Harper's hand move and he knew what he would do.
"I can't let you go. None of you."
"You know that this will end bad for you." Max said his voice calm.
"I can't let the heir be born, it's not the time." Harper turned the gun toward Liz who had come to stand near Max. He was amazed as this small girl seemed to stand straighter and taller as she raised her hand like the others had done. She had started out the weakest link but now she was a confident, brave woman.
"You will not harm me or my child." She said her voice as calm as Max's. Her hand began to glow amber again. Harper's eyes grew wide with astonishment. Could she have powers? Surely they could not that strong. Nothing ever showed up in her tests. How could that be overlooked? He pulled the trigger at the same moment a flash shot from her hand.
Max watched as his world spun in slow motion. He felt so calm as he wathced the scene take place. He'd seen this before. He knew how it would come out in the end and it filled him with peace. Max saw the bullet come out of the gun but it hit the amber blast and disintegrated before going any further. The blast continued on its path and hit Harper in the chest. He flew back to the door opening dead before he hit the floor.
"He will never hurt anyone again." She said barely audible.
Max wrapped his arms around her holding her close. He could feel her trembling. She had taken a life. Max stood with her in the silent room letting his love and understanding flow into her. If she had not done this, then she would be the one on the floor dead along with their child. Taking several deep breaths Liz turned to the others. They all seemed stunned at her actions. She could feel the concern for her flowing from Tess.
"Let's get all of this and get out of here." Her voice held a new tone. It was authority. "I want to go home." She said quietly to Max as he embraced her again.

Taken: Chapter 19
Chapter 19
The group of eight stood just outside of the fence that surrounded the abandoned base. Jim stood off to the side. They had retrieved all the files that they safely could without having to go to the lab. Max held hands with Liz and Isabel, Liz with Tess, Tess with Kyle, and so on until everyone had contact. Together, the aliens used their powers to gather their energy along with drawing from the humans and threw it out at the base. The most concentrated point was the back building where the lab was and where Max and the others had been kept. Explosions and fires erupted throughout the property. They made sure that the fires were hot enough to reach low in the ground to destroy all evidence of them that was left behind.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Jim made sure that the eight young people were safe at Michael's for the night before heading home himself. He knew that he would be caught up on the details later, he always was. He had some Sheriff business to take care of before he was able to call it a night though. He was expecting a call from the military concerning the explosion at the abandoned base. He would freign ignorance and appease the military. He also wanted to help find a way to help Max and Liz explain to their parents about their six-week disappearance.
Jim had tried to comfort the Parkers and Evans during the time the kids were gone. He had checked all possible leads and kept them informed on most of his actions concerning them. Their paniced behavior was normal. He would have acted the same if Kyle had been the one gone. He had hated to lie to them at times but they did not know Max's origins nor would they had understood at the time. Being the only adult in the group, he dicided that he would be their protector in any way possible. He felt that they were his responsibility. Tonight he was there more as an observer and advisor. Someone that they could turn to if they needed more help.
There was no one to worry about Tess. Besides he and Kyle. Nassado had died months earlier at the hands of the Skins. He had left her with a house and means to support herself. Jim and Kyle had spoke of Tess in depth since her disappearance and the feelings Kyle had for her bacame apparent. After tonight he knew that he would have another teen in his home. Kyle would insist that she come and stay with them, whether she wanted to or not. He would not take no for an answer.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Max sat on Michael's couch with Tess on one side and Liz on the other. He felt them both clinging to him. Liz physically, Tess mentally. Both looking for support. The relief that they were safe once more had not been comprehended yet. They felt jumpy, edgy. Things felt unfamiliar.
Max sat there stunned. They had been gone for six weeks. The time had passed quickly while they were at the base. All time had seemed to stand still. It felt like it had only been a few days, not six weeks. Luckily it was summer, though now it was almost over, so they did not have to worry about school. However tomorrow they would have to face their parents. How were they going to explain it to them. He pushed that though aside for now. The others had questions so he would take one thing at a time. The others needed the information because he no longer knew if he would live to see the first day of their senior year, especially when Mr. Parker finds out about Liz.
Knocking himself out of his thoughts Max looked around the room at his family and friends. It was so good to see their faces and hear their voices. 'I, um, just don't know exactly where to start' he said mentally.
This startled the entire group except Liz and Tess. Every person had heard Max's voice in their head. Max smiled at their stunned expressions.
"A new power we tapped into." Tess said as she smiled.
Isabel recovered first. "I have a question. It has bothered me since I first connected with you. Every time I was in contact with you I felt four people Max but there was just three of you there. Who is the fourth?"
Max beamed a smile and looke at Liz. Her smile was just as bright and she nodded her consent. "That is my son. Our son." he emphasized pulling Liz closer to him.
Again he was able to shock the others. Maria recovered first this time and screamed as she jumped up and pulled Liz from Max's embrace hugging her tightly.
Micheal looked over at Max with a raised eyebrow. 'We will talk later.' Max said to him.
Alex and Kyle both went to Liz and joined the hugging.
"Are you all right? Will the pregnancy be normal?" They both asked curious how the baby was affecting her health. Their concern warmed her heart.
"I'm fine guys. I have been checked over many times and according to the medical team at the base all is well. Well, as normal for being healed by a gorgeous alien king then carrying his child. It will all be ok. Don't worry." She said as she smiled at her friends.
When things calmed down, Max explained how Liz got pregnant. He left out some of the intimate details but a blush crept to his face when he explained about the ritual that allowed Tess to give him to Liz. He saw fear in Isabel's expression as she glanced to Michael and he quicly explained that because she and Michael had not yet been married in their former life that this ritual would not be needed for them.
Michael nodded realizing now what he saw in his flashes when he had sat on Tess's bed.
Kyle looked to Tess. She looked away when their eyes met. He felt angry at the thought that Max had been with Tess. He had taken both Tess's and Liz's virginity in the same night. Kyle's ego got the better of him for a moment as he balled his fists in his lap. First Max had taken Liz from him, now Tess. His gaze continued to stay on Tess. Feeling his eyes upon her, Tess looked across the room to Kyle their eyes locking. Immediately he felt bad for his angry thoughts. He could see the pain that filled her eyes. Losing himself in her blue eyes his anger quickly disappated.
'Kyle, I may have had sex with Max but I am still a virgin.' She transmitted to his mind. 'My body healed itself when the ritual was completed. He took nothing from you.'
Kyle's eyes widened. Could she now read his mind? Her eyes never left his as she answered him. 'No, but I feel what you are feeling.' Tess smiled slightly at him as he nodded his acknowledgement. Kyle let out a breath knowing that everything would work out.
Max continued his explaination of what Harper knew or thought he knew about them and then about the dreams he had been having. He paused for a few seconds letting the information seep into his friends. He then explained how they, the aliens, could not fully enter a relationship with another unless the human chooses and accepts the alien completely for what they are.
"It has happened. I saw it in my dreams." Max stated. "The four-square consists of eight, four hybrids and their four mates."
Isabel stood and started to pace. "What do mean it has happened?" she demanded.
"I thought we were past all of this destiny crap Maxwell." Michael growled.
Max held up his hand and watched as the others squirmed. None of them liked this new information that may dictate their lives.
'Max quit teasing them.' Liz's soft voice ran through his head.
'Sorry I couldn't help it. I've missed them.'
"As I said earlier, it is the humans that must choose us as a mate. We have a genetic encoding in our DNA that does not allow us to, um, mate or reproduce without a certain connection to that person. Without it you may also be blocked from total fulfilment also. Obviously Liz has chosen me." Max turned and smiled at Liz.
He felt so honored to be worthy of her love. 'Thank you love.'
Liz leaned over and kissed him softly and beamed at the others while Max continued to gaze at her.
Michael cleared his throat. "Uh, could we get back to the not so obvious?"
Max turned to the group again blushing. "Yeah, well, Michael, even with all of your uncaring, nonchalant attitude, you are stuck with the beautiful Maria, whether you like it or not. She has chosed you."
Michael gave Max a scowl but it gave way to a grin when Maria wrapped her arms around him pulling him close while her lips claimed his.
Max turned to the next couple. "Iz. Your ice princess gig has chased off many a guys. Finding out that you were a hybrid would have put the rest in a looney bin but not Alex." Max smiled at Alex approving of the match. He had always liked Alex and he trusted Liz and Maria's judgment about him. "He saw through your act and saw the real you and stuck around until you realized that he was not going anywhere. Congratulations."
Max saw relief wash over Isabel's face. He was glad that she was finally happy. Alex embraced her and she leaned into him with a contented sigh. Max then released Liz and stood bringing Tess up with him. Holding her hand, he walked to stand in front of Kyle who stood also.
"Kyle, you and I have not always gotten along and butted heads many times but I like to think that we are past all of that and have become friends. I trust you. Tess is a special woman. She deserves to be treated with the love and respect that she never received growing up in this life." Kyle nodded and looked at Tess. "You are a lucky guy to get someone like her. You will start developing powers soon and who better to help you control them than your mate."
Kyle smiled looking at Tess. He face sobered as a thought occurred to him. "Uh, Max? Do we have to, um, you know, go through that ritual also?" Kyle asked blushing, not wanting to picture Max, Tess, and him in bed together.
Max could not suppress a smile at seeing Kyle's embarrassment. He shook his head and reassured the other. "No. When Tess released me to Liz, I did the same to her but..." Kyle looked at Max looing a little terrified of some other possible ritual. "As her king, I will not totally release her until you promise to love and protect her always."
"Max. I would protect her with my life." Kyle said sincerely.
Max handed Tess over to Kyle who wrapped her into his embrace and bent his head kissing her for the first time. It was soft and tender and Tess felt the love coming from him.
"Well with all of that out of the way, I'm tired. Let's get some sleep." Maria announced. She was eager to lay in Michael's arms.
Michael stood and turned to Max. "You and Liz take my room. We will all crash out here."
"Are you sure?"
Michael looked around and saw no one protest. He smiled at his brother. "Yeah, go ahead. You two deserve some real privacy."
"Thanks Michael." he said as he led Liz to the room.

Michael cleared his throat. "Uh, could we get back to the not so obvious?"
Max turned to the group again blushing. "Yeah, well, Michael, even with all of your uncaring, nonchalant attitude, you are stuck with the beautiful Maria, whether you like it or not. She has chosed you."
Michael gave Max a scowl but it gave way to a grin when Maria wrapped her arms around him pulling him close while her lips claimed his.
Max turned to the next couple. "Iz. Your ice princess gig has chased off many a guys. Finding out that you were a hybrid would have put the rest in a looney bin but not Alex." Max smiled at Alex approving of the match. He had always liked Alex and he trusted Liz and Maria's judgment about him. "He saw through your act and saw the real you and stuck around until you realized that he was not going anywhere. Congratulations."
Max saw relief wash over Isabel's face. He was glad that she was finally happy. Alex embraced her and she leaned into him with a contented sigh. Max then released Liz and stood bringing Tess up with him. Holding her hand, he walked to stand in front of Kyle who stood also.
"Kyle, you and I have not always gotten along and butted heads many times but I like to think that we are past all of that and have become friends. I trust you. Tess is a special woman. She deserves to be treated with the love and respect that she never received growing up in this life." Kyle nodded and looked at Tess. "You are a lucky guy to get someone like her. You will start developing powers soon and who better to help you control them than your mate."
Kyle smiled looking at Tess. He face sobered as a thought occurred to him. "Uh, Max? Do we have to, um, you know, go through that ritual also?" Kyle asked blushing, not wanting to picture Max, Tess, and him in bed together.
Max could not suppress a smile at seeing Kyle's embarrassment. He shook his head and reassured the other. "No. When Tess released me to Liz, I did the same to her but..." Kyle looked at Max looing a little terrified of some other possible ritual. "As her king, I will not totally release her until you promise to love and protect her always."
"Max. I would protect her with my life." Kyle said sincerely.
Max handed Tess over to Kyle who wrapped her into his embrace and bent his head kissing her for the first time. It was soft and tender and Tess felt the love coming from him.
"Well with all of that out of the way, I'm tired. Let's get some sleep." Maria announced. She was eager to lay in Michael's arms.
Michael stood and turned to Max. "You and Liz take my room. We will all crash out here."
"Are you sure?"
Michael looked around and saw no one protest. He smiled at his brother. "Yeah, go ahead. You two deserve some real privacy."
"Thanks Michael." he said as he led Liz to the room.

Chapter 20
Isabel waited for Liz to go to the bathroom before entering Michael's room. She sat next to Max on the bed.
"Are you ok really?" she asked.
Max looked at her then down at his hands in his lap. "I don't know." he sighed. "What do we tell our parents? I mean six weeks have been taken from us and now we have to tell them about us becoming parents. How do we explain it?"
Isabel put her arm around his shoulder trying to comfort her brother. They sat in silence for a moment.
"Iz. Are you allright? I mean, you've seen a lot of crazy things from my head which is a very scary place right now. I know that you are still bothered from the images you got from me when Pierce had me and now you have more to deal with. I wish there was another way. Can you handle this?"
Isabel was quiet for a while. Max thought that she would not answer him. "I have you back with me. That is all that matters. You are my brother. We will work together on this ok? You and me. Plus there is Alex. You know his career assessment did say that he would be great in the field of psychology. Maybe he would agree to be our shrink then we can unload on him together." She said smiling.
Max could not help but smile as the image of him lying on a couch tellign Alex all of him problems as he jotted notes down and nodding his head.
"We will work all of this out Max. It is not just you and I anymore. We have a family, Liz, Maria, Michael, Tess, Kyle, even the Sheriff. Let's just promise not to keep any secrets from each other. Nightmares and all."
Max nodded. "Iz. Will you go with Liz and I tomorrow to see our parents? The Sheriff will call them in the mornind and have them meet us at Liz's. We are going to tell them. Everything."
Isabel could not believe what she was hearing. She had bugged him for years to tell their parents the truth but Max wanted to protect them as much as possible. She knew that he was terrified that they would turn away from him, rejecting him, like they were monsters. He now felt that with a baby coming and Liz developing powers that they should know everything. She knew that he was still scared but he also had Liz and Isabel to help and support him.
"Yes." she choked out throwing her arms around Max giving him a tight hug.
Liz witnessed the touching scene from the doorway. She knew that it meant a lot to Isabel telling her parents and she was proud that Max was having the courage to finally do it. She knew that the Evans would never turn their backs on their children. They had found them wandering in the desert, taken them in, and given them unconditional love. She was sure about the Evans' reaction. She was not so sure how her parents would handle the news.
Liz walked into the room and sat on the other side of Max. Isabel smiled and said her good nights as she left closing the door behind her.
Liz leaned against Max, snuggling close. She felt tired but as she smelled Max's scent the urges began. She suddenly felt energized. She needed to be close to him, to have skin-to-skin contact. She lifted her head and kissed him on the lips. Max eagerly took her mouth to his deepening the kiss. She felt so good to him and her smell was intoxicating. He slipped his hands under her shirt and slid them to her breasts. She let out a sigh as he took her nipple between his fingers giving it a tug while he other hand gently massaged her other breast. She broke the kiss long enough to yank his shirt off along with hers. She needed to get closer. The urge she felt was getting stronger. She needed him like a fish needed water to survive.
Max was feeling her need as his grew also. He could not tell if they were feeding off each other or if they each had the urges. Either way, he needed to be in her. While she was taking off their shirts, hebusied himself discarding their pants. They fell together on the bed immediately wrapping around one another tryign to touch every part of their body together.
Max rolled over so that he was above her andlooked lovingly into her eyes. "I love you Liz. You are my everything. My life."
Liz responded by pulling Max's mouth to hers and pushing her hips up so that her opening was pushing at the tip of his erection. She moaned her approval as he slowly pushed into her. He filled her completely making her feel nothing but him. Unable to take the slowness that he was setting she began to grind her hips up into him causing him to plunge deeper into her.
Max felt her wall around his length. The were so tight and slick. He slowly drew in and out of her but he could feel her impatience as she pushed the rhythm. His pumping grew faster adn he could not control himself anylonger. They both exploded together causing them to have flashes.
They saw Liz holding their son to her as she breast-fed him/ they saw a small boy bravely facing the first day of school/ they saw a dark haired boy healing a small hurt animal/ they saw an older boy sitting on a park bench smiling at a light haired girl.
Liz and Max lay together letting the flashes run their course until they faded. The could not believe that they had just seen the life of their son. It was amazing. They fell asleep entwined with one another smiling at the bright future ahead of them.
