Hey guys thanks for staying with me, school is not too fun at the moment but after Monday I will be fine! Thanks for all of your feedback on the last part! Please let me know what you think of this new one!
Part 40: Forsaken
He watched, it was what he was good at. He stayed to the shadows and was never seen or heard. Silent as the grave he moved with them observing their movements. This reality was different than the one he had escaped from to try and fix what had gone wrong in his timeline. It was interesting to see how things were playing out due to one minor manipulation, now his timeline was slowly coming undone but there were still a few things that had to be taken care of before he would disappear once and for all.
“I have to change things.” He whispered watching Liz laughing with Maria and Isabel as they went to their classes. He was going to make sure that they were all happy in this life time.
She watched them studying all of their movies, learning their patterns and behaviors. They were an interesting bunch and seemed to like shaking things up but from what she had observed the group kept up the appearance of being normal human teenagers which would work to her advantage because it added predictability into the equation. She was good at her job, good at watching and learning. She knew their likes and dislikes and all of their intimate relationships looking for the best angle. Sighing when she saw the teens head into yet another class she shimmered away to report her findings.
Liz giggled when Kyle passed her yet another note in history class. It seems that the two of them were the only ones up to date enough on the Salem Witch Trials that they did not need to pay attention much to the displeasure of the teacher.
“Miss Parker, what seems to be so funny?” Mrs. Landry asked.
“Nothing.” Liz said putting on her most innocent look.
“She has a note Mrs. Landry.” Pam Troy said smirking when she saw the teacher’s face darken making Liz groan and sink lower in the desk chair.
“Hand it here Miss Parker.” Mrs. Landry said and Liz slowly handed over the note not wanting the teacher to do what many teachers in the past had done to her and read the note out loud. She saw the teacher give her a sharp look after looking over the note.
“Miss Parker please see me after class, you too Mr. Valenti.” Mrs. Landry said before she went back to her lesson. Liz sighed and occupied herself with looking out the window. Standing over in a clump of trees she saw a boy standing there staring intently at the school. There was something about him that seemed familiar to Liz but she could not pin point it.
“Miss Parker?” Mrs. Landry called as the class filed out her and Kyle slinked up to the teacher.
“Yes?”
“Is this note true?” She asked.
“What part?” Liz asked.
“The part about you being pregnant?” Mrs. Landry asked looking at the two teens before her in distress.
“Yes.” Liz whispered.
“How far along are you?” Mrs. Landry asked.
“Four months.” Liz said.
“Well what do the two of you plan on doing once the baby gets here?” She asked looking between the two students to see how far ahead the two had thought.
“Wait. What?” Liz asked.
“I asked what the two of you planned on doing.” Mrs. Landry said rolling her green eyes.
“Oh no, Kyle is not the…he is not the baby’s father he is just my best friend.” Liz said blushing when Kyle squirmed around not liking that someone thought that he had gotten a girl pregnant even though he knew that it was a reasonable guess because of his reputation.
“Oh sorry I just assumed…”
“Well he is not.” Liz said feeling as though her face was on fire.
“Well then have you and Mr. Evans figured out what you are going to do?”
“Wait Max is not the father either, the two of us have been over for a long time.” Liz said realizing that people around school were going to think either Kyle or Max had gotten her pregnant.
“Mrs. Landry the baby’s father attends Harvard. He and Liz have known each other all of their lives and are going to make this work. They have an amazing support system behind them and the two of them want to finish their schooling knowing that they will be able to better provide for their child.” Kyle said helping Liz out.
“Also no one else knows that I am pregnant so I would appreciate you keeping this to yourself until I tell the school authorities when the pregnancy will become obvious.” Liz said.
“Alright I agree to this but if you need anything Liz I am here for you. This is going to be tough especially since you are still in high school and have two years to go.” Mrs. Landry said.
“I know but I have my friends and my boyfriend I am good.” Liz said before she grabbed Kyle’s hand and pulled him out of the room.
“That was scary.” Kyle said as they headed to lunch.
“I know I am just happy that she did not read the note to the class that is the last thing I needed.” Liz sighed.
“So when are you going to see lover boy or any of the others?” Kyle asked.
“I am going shopping with Gwen after school and then all my time is spent with Tyler.” Liz said making Kyle roll his eyes.
“That boy is so whipped.” Kyle said.
“My boyfriend is not whipped he just knows that if he wants sex he has to work for it…some of the time.” Liz giggled.
“I knew you were easy Parker.” Kyle said wrapping his arm around her shoulder leading her over to Isabel and Alex.
Liz looked over to the clump of trees and saw the same boy standing there watching the students intently, more intently than was normal. “Hey guys who is that over there by the threes?” Liz asked looking back at the trees only to see the boy was gone.
“Ah Liz, no one is there.” Alex said.
“I see that beetle brain.” Liz snapped.
Later that day Liz had not been more glad to see the Simms home before her. She was still not talking to her parents and she had a feeling that was not going to happen for awhile. Her parents were just too stubborn. Sighing Liz made her way into her temporary home and was greeted by Jason and Gwen who had apparently been waiting for her to come home.
“Have a good day at school?” Jason asked ushering Liz into the kitchen.
“Not so much. A teacher of mine found out I was pregnant and then preceded to accuse Kyle and Max of being the father. I am just worried that everyone is going to think the same thing I mean it is not like I can bring Tyler to school with me like a purse and be like oh see it really does exist.” Liz grumbled.
“Oh that is rough.” Gwen said preparing an after school snack for Liz, she had not been able to do this for someone other than her husband for several years.
“Oh apples and peanut butter my favorite!” Liz eagerly dug in.
“Such a girl.” Jason muttered.
“Such a pregnant girl.” Gwen said slapping her husband’s arm making Liz laugh. “I craved that when I was pregnant with Tyler, that and strawberries.” Gwen said her blue eyes sparkling.
“I crave those all the time.” Liz agreed.
“Maybe it is something with having a Simms baby.” Jason said hoping onto the counter pulling his wife closer. Neither of the adults seeing Liz’s small smile at the action.
“I’m home!” Tyler called heading into the kitchen quickly heading over to Liz and kissing her on the cheek before he stole one of her apples.
“Well at least I got a kiss before he stole my food.” Liz grumbled making the others laugh.
“So Liz ready to go shopping?” Gwen asked looking giddy.
“Oh yes!”
“I don’t know if this is such a good idea, maybe dad or I should go with you two.” Tyler said sharing a look with his father.
“Nonsense the two of us will be fine.” Gwen said.
“No I think Tyler is right. One or both of us should come with you.” Jason said.
“I vote both, more people to carry our bags.” Liz said making Gwen grin.
“I love how you think.” Gwen said leading the way out of the house with Liz neither seeing the looks of terror on Jason and Tyler’s faces.
“Daddy I am frightened.” Tyler said gulping as he followed his mother and girlfriend towards the car.
“Be brave son, be brave. Just think, there is only so much they can buy.” Jason said.
