I stood there in silence for a moment as I processed what Max had said.
"Wait... she can't expect us to raise and love children for years to only take them from us. Over my dead body would that happen.... I don't even know that I could give up a newborn! How am I suppose to give over a precious life that I created to some freak of nature!" I sighed and throw my head up against the wall. "This is all too complicated. My mother definately never prepared me for this...! But, I don't think we have a choice here, do we? I mean, the outcome it we don't...." I looked down at my feet and shook my head.
The Age of Ulyssa (AU/UC/ADULT) Thread #1

*Max*
I nod at Maria, agreeing with every word of her rant. The possibility is completely unreasonable -- inhumane, even.
"The trouble is, we don't know. We don't have any idea what she really expects, what we're agreeing to or rejecting. The contract is blank," I say, picking up the paper and glaring at it. We only know what she's threatening if we refuse her. We don't even know if she can really do it. And without knowing any of the details, we don't know if what she's proposing isn't going to be worse...
"Wait a minute," I say, suddenly feeling inspired. We've been letting Ulyssa set all the conditions but we can't be completely powerless. She has, after all, asked us to consent. Maybe we can do more.
"If Ulyssa won't set the conditions, then we should. We'll make it as positive as possible to us while complying with what she's demanded. And if we can't make it something we can live with, we still don't have to sign it. We can ask for some demonstration of intent, to prove she's not going to mistreat the children and we should probably have demands of our own. Afterall, it's not a contract if there isn't a concideration shown by both sides and withholding a threat usually doesn't qualify," I explain.
We can set the answers to the conditions she hasn't explained. We can write in our own loophole to make sure that if Ulyssa fails to carry out her part, whatever that is, then the children will stay with us. But first, I'll need to be sure that it's only four, not eight, since that wasn't completely clear...
I pass my hand over the parchment, causing words to appear at the top of the page.
We, the undersigned, do agree to enter a contract with Ulyssa, based on the following conditions:
1) Only four children will be concieved under this agreement,
Turning to the rest of the group, I comment, "We probably can't specify the timeframe to be five years or something, since she seemed to have a figure in mind already, but we should be able to do something to improve this situation."

Max puts his arm around my shoulder's holding me close to me which helps me release some of the tension from my shoulders. I could always count on Max to offer comfort when I needed it. Still, Alex seemed to be remaining quiet, not offering anything as of yet about what I'd asked or anything going on. I couldn't keep my gaze off of him, because I knew that we needed to figure things out and I also knew that we would never be the same if forced into this situation.
"No. I don't want to do it. I can't do it. But if we don't -- " Max breaks off and I feel him shiver, my hand automatically reaching for his and I give it a light squeeze. "... it could be worse..."
"We need to find some way to stop her, but I haven't the faintest idea how," Max admits and I know it's hard for him to state such a thing.
"So then what do we do in the meantime?" Liz asks and I glance over at her. "Wait till our time is up and sign the parchment or sign it now? Because I have the feeling that one way or another Ulyssa will get our signatures on that darn thing..."
Max gives a slight nod even as he frowns.
"First things first," Max begins, giving my shoulders a squeeze before releasing me. The instant he steps away the cold returns. He goes into the kitchen and sets the timer and I simply look around at everyone, wrapping my arms around myself as I wait to see who says what.
"This is all or nothing," Max states as he returns to the living room and sits down facing everyone. "It won't mean anything if some sign and some don't. We need answers. What exactly she wants, how it'll happen, what exactly will occur if she doesn't."
"If this parchment won't give us those answers, then we need options. Does anyone have any ideas at all?" He asks this and I shake my head, wishing that my mind could get past the horror of what had happened at school with Jason enough for me to think.
Suddenly, Ulyssa's voice sounds, "One child from each of you is all I require. If you provide them for me, you will neither see nor hear from me ever again."
"She wastes no time.." Michael says and points at the parchment.
"So I see," Max responds.
"One child from each of you." My brother repeats the words that Ulyssa had spoken. "Would that mean eight children? Or four?"
"Not that it matters, I suppose. One child or a hundred and one, I don't know how we can do this..." Max states and I can't help but nod in agreement. We can't.... somehow we have to keep this from happening.
"Yeah... well all I have to say as that I think all the girls say in this should count double..." I hear Maria state this and look at her, my eyes widening and yet I feel a slight grin lift the corner of my lips. The sort of things she comes up with... I shake my head as she continues, "After all, were the ones that would actually have to be having and carrying a freaking child anyway. All you men...acuse me, boys have to do is have some fun!" I watch her roll her eyes, "..and then what the heck do we know about..." She makes a face, "ya know, the whole human and alien breeding thing....? We are in way over our heads here but it doesn't seem we have a choice."
"Yeah," Max responds slowly. "You have a point."
"On all issues." I add, giving her a slight smile. She was right, we women were going to have the child grow within us and have the major attachment and then have to give them up. I couldn't imagine having a child. I didn't think I would ever get to that point in my life. I wasn't ready for it. Yet, we weren't being given a choice. What if we couldn't concieve in the time she alotted? Would she extend it until we did concieve? How would this end up changing the relationships? I mean, I'm not involved with Alex. I'm not in love with him. Max and Liz, well they love each other. Maria and Michael love each other. Kyle is attracted to Tess, but I don't know how Tess feels with that. I know Alex has always seemed like he was in love with me.
Damn it! I don't even know for sure what it is to love someone in that way. I love my parents, I love Max and I love Michael. They are and have always been my family.
"But you don't know what's out there if we refuse her," Max adds and I see him shudder, "I'm not even sure how long you'd actually have to carry them."
Maria's eyes widen and her jaw drops, "No, not because of being part alien. I mean Ulyssa. She hasn't said how old the kids will have to be. We've been thinking newborn, or at least, I have. But she could mean when they're 12 years old. Or, seeing how she manipulates time, it could be before they're born. She's only actually asked for the children to be concieved." Max hastened to add that but this simply causes me to begin shaking.
"No." I barely whispered. No way would I do this if ... no! I started shaking my head even as the cold seemed to spread through me. I'd thought it was bad enough giving up a newborn, but a child that I would have in my life for a while.... no!
"Wait... she can't expect us to raise and love children for years to only take them from us. Over my dead body would that happen.... I don't even know that I could give up a newborn! How am I suppose to give over a precious life that I created to some freak of nature!" Maria sighs and hits her head against the wall. "This is all too complicated. My mother definately never prepared me for this...! But, I don't think we have a choice here, do we? I mean, the outcome it we don't...." I see her look at her feet and I glance at Max and Michael. Then my gaze goes to Tess and finally to Alex yet again.
"The trouble is, we don't know. We don't have any idea what she really expects, what we're agreeing to or rejecting. The contract is blank," Max says and glares at the offending paper.
"Wait a minute," I glance at him sharply. He sounds like he has an idea and I suddenly feel the first bit of hope I'd had since Jason's suicide/murder.
"If Ulyssa won't set the conditions, then we should. We'll make it as positive as possible to us while complying with what she's demanded. And if we can't make it something we can live with, we still don't have to sign it. We can ask for some demonstration of intent, to prove she's not going to mistreat the children and we should probably have demands of our own. Afterall, it's not a contract if there isn't a concideration shown by both sides and withholding a threat usually doesn't qualify," He explains and I slowly begin nodding.
I watch him pass his hand over the contract and I move to stand behind him to see what he'd added.
We, the undersigned, do agree to enter a contract with Ulyssa, based on the following conditions:
1) Only four children will be concieved under this agreement,
Turning to the rest of us he comments, "We probably can't specify the timeframe to be five years or something, since she seemed to have a figure in mind already, but we should be able to do something to improve this situation."
2) We're assured that these four children will truly be safe and well.
I add the next part, thinking that I probably wasn't the only one that had the idea. Then another one comes to mind and I pass my hand over to add that one as well.
3) Once the children are no longer an issue, we are guaranteed that our lives will not be disrupted in such a manner again and that we will be safe from suspicion from all law enforcement and alien hunters.

I'm relieved when Isabel immedately steps in and starts adding her own conditions. I was a bit concerned that the others would think I was being too cold about it all, but I just really need some way to get control. The fact that it was my sister who acted first probably shouldn't have surprised me. Maybe there's been a benefit to having a lawyer for a father afterall. I just hope Ulyssa will agree to this, too. We'll have to be sure there's a place for her signature, too.
I take a look at the conditions that Isabel has added and nod in agreement. "Good," I say. "We may need to expand on point two to clarify how she's going to demonstrate that -- maybe she'll have to allow us to visit the place where she's planning to raise the children."
Point three is a good one, too, I think. I don't know if she actually has power over our law enforcement agencies but it doesn't seem to be beyond her abilities. It's down now. If Ulyssa can't assure us of our safety, then we'll have no contract. Freedom from persecution by the FBI or the law will be worth a lot to us. I'm starting to think we can make this work.
"And just to avoid the years long issue, we need to specify that," I say. We'll need to make it early, before we're too attached, although I'm sure we'll still feel it, no matter how small they are...
I pass my hand over the page again, making the alterations so it now reads;
We, the undersigned, do agree to enter a contract with Ulyssa, based on the following conditions:
1) Only four children will be concieved under this agreement, one child per couple as specified, to be surrendered to Ulyssa.
2) We're assured that these four children will truly be safe and well. The eight of us will be allowed at least one inspection visit to the place where Ulyssa intends to raise the children, prior to transfer of custody.
3) Once the children are no longer an issue, we are guaranteed that our lives will not be disrupted in such a manner again and that we will be safe from suspicion from all law enforcement and alien hunters.
4) Ulyssa will take custody of each child prior to________. If this does not occur, the child will remain in the custody of his or her biological parents and the number of children required under this contract will be reduced.
"What do you all think? Three months after conception? Or maybe one week after birth?" I ask everyone but my question is mostly directed to the girls. As Maria says, they have the greatest stake as far as that goes.
If Ulyssa takes the children in the first trimester, nobody but us will ever need to know that the girls were pregnant, although I know the babies will still be mourned. But maybe it would be better to see the children's faces before we give them up. Of course, seeing how Ulyssa made a full 24 hour pass in less than 20 minutes, it's possible she could still make the children age to be toddlers or even adults in whatever time we say, but I have to try.

"And just to avoid the years long issue, we need to specify that," Max suggests, before he passes his hand over the document a second time, changing to read;

"What do you all think? Three months after conception? Or maybe one week after birth? Three days?" Max’s asks us.
“Whatever...” I say, rubbing my eyes with my hands. I just wanted this whole thing to be over and done with, so we could back to our normal lives.
At my comment, Maria gives me a glaring look. I knew she was thinking that I was completely indifferent about this whole situation, but what possible choice did any of us have?. I knew this wouldn’t be easy, but I also knew there wouldn’t be any other way out.
Glancing over at the timer Max had set, I add “We’d better decide fast, we only have five more minutes”
