********************************************
We all look at Isabel waiting for her to finish the story. She seemed hesitant to tell us. But through her eyes, she was staring directly at Alex.

"You guys, i think I'm pregnant..." Isabel said so quietly I could barely hear her but yet it was loud enough to kick me off my own two feet.
"Well, I personally think it's between you and Alex..." Max said calmly.

Isabel started to cry...sobbing almost. Isabel Evans was showing all of her emotions right in front of all of us.
"Max, you don't know. It's not Alex's child. Alex and I have never.."
Isabel's voice drifted off.
"You've been cheating on me, Isabel? Is that what this is all about? I thought we were..." Alex said as his voice got louder. Alex Whitman was shourting at Isabel...I'm shocked.

"Then whose is it, Izzy?" I asked sitting down next to her on the bed.
"Micheal's...." Isabel said.

My immediate thought was to slap her and kick her and scream at her but something told me there had to be some sort of explanation to this.

"WHAT!?!" we all said at once...

"It's because of those dreams, ok? It's not like ...." Isabel said..but I cut her off...
"You bitch! How could you?" I shouted at the top of my lungs...
"Maria, It's not what you think..." Isabel whispered.
"Then tell me...how am I suppose to take this? You were sleeping with MY boyfriend? You have Alex, why Micheal?" I cried.

Micheal finally snapped out of his shock and put his arm around my waist but I resisted.

"Get away from me, Micheal. You guys are sickos. You are all alien SICKOS.
I'm outtie."

I got off the bed and walked out the door. I walked into the hallway and leaned against the wall. I started to cry like I've never cried before. This pain was like a knife through my heart...How could my own boyfriend do this? How could Isabel do this to me? I sat there against the wall outside of Isabel's room but I could still hear what they were saying....

"I have to go to Maria..." Liz said..
"Maybe we should give her time..."Max said.
"Get away from her, MAX!" Alex shouted.

I could hear some shuffling in the room.

"I forbid any of you to come near Maria or Liz! We trusted you guys. We trusted you aliens even when we didn't even know what you could do to us. I gave my all to Isabel and now she tells me that she's pregnant..." Alex said...he sounded so hurt, so betrayed...so did I.

The next thing I knew was that I saw Alex storming out of the room with Liz.
He saw me sitting on the floor crying and he put his arm around me....crying.
Alex was crying. I couldn't let Isabel do this to him, to all of us. I stood up and marched into her room once more.

"Isabel, I can't believe you...No let me finish. Alex is right. We all gave our hearts to you guys and you take it and you rip it up like paper. Now whatever YOU want to do with the rest of your lives is your own decision, ok? We're no longer accomplices." I said bravely.
"Maria, we're not even sure. The dreams somehow were real. We had no control over them. I would never want to hurt you, Maria." Micheal said stepping closer to me.
"it's too late for that crap, ok?" I said stepping back.
"He's right, Maria. We need to sit down and figure this out in a more practical way..." said Max.
"You think I want to be pregnant with Micheal's baby? You think I want to hurt Alex? No way in hell would I ever dream of wanting to do that to you or Alex..." Said Isabel.
"So you're saying that you didnt really sleep with Micheal?" I asked.
"That's exactly what I'm saying. I think that if I'm pregnant with Micheal's baby. Doesn't this mean that Tess is pregnant with Max's baby?" said Isabel...staring at me in the eye. She sounded so scared... "Have you been having dreams with Tess, Max?" Micheal asked.
"Sometimes..." Max said without looking at any of us.
"What...is this like the twilight zone? Then I guess you're all not ready for MY story..." I said.
"What story?" Isabel asked.

All eyes were on me. I could hear Alex and Liz coming back into the room to hear me out. My knees got really really weak as I began my alien thing...

"My dad's an alien.." I blurted out. It sounded really stupid when the words came out of my mouth.
"This is not a time to be joking, Maria. We have got more serious matters to deal with right now." Liz said.
"No, I'm serious. My dad came back to tell me that he was the one to hide your incubation pods. He left because the police were getting suspicious..."
I managed to say.
"But you don't have any powers!" Isabel said.
"I know, but my dad said that since i'm half-human, my powers are limited.
It's really hard to explain. I have to connect with another alien in order to use my powers..."
"How do you know he's not lying?" Max asked.
"I don't know. He looked really serious. He wouldn;t just say that to scare me. He knows all about you guys..." I said.
"So now everyone here is an alien but me and Liz?" Alex said laughing sarcastically, "don't tell me you're pregnant too, Maria..." "I'm not. At least I don't think I am. But I just felt like I should get that off my chest."
"That's why I always felt attracted to you even before I even met you..." Micheal said. "I guess.." I said.
"We should get Tess. Maybe she can answer our questions.." Max said.

I can see Liz look at him like he was a monster to even mention Tess's name at a time like this. She looked so hurt.
"Yeah, you guys go get Tess. i need to talk to Micheal and Maria." Isabel said.
"Ok, but if you make Maria cry again..." Liz threatened.
"I won't. Just go. We'll catch up with you guys later." Isabel assured them.

Alex, Liz , and Max headed out the door, leaving me with the two people who hurt me the most. Just watching them sitting next to each other wanted me to scream and pout.
"Maria, I'm sorry...I didn't want it to be like this at all. I didn't think the dreams were for real." Isabel said.
"I didn't even know that could happen in a dream..." Micheal added.
"I dunno. You two work it out. I have to go." I managed to say. I couldn't accept her apology. I couldn't accept his so-called attempted apology. It was too hard to accept right now.

I walked out the front door. Micheal walked up to me...and pulled my arm.
"Maria, listen to me.." He urged.
"No, you listen to me, Micheal. Go to Isabel. She needs you more. She's gonna be the mother of your child."
"What about us?"
"What about US, micheal? It's over. " I said...
"What do you mean it's over?" He looked at me like I called him a girl.
"Hey, you're not the only one who could say where the direction of our relationship is going, you know....I don't think it's right for us to be together if Isabel is assumed to be pregnant."
"I love you, Maria."
"I wish I could say the same thing for you but I can't. It's not right." I felt so cold for saying that to him. Now I know what it feels like to be him.

I turned around and drove home...leaving the pain behind. I've had enough for one day, it's actually more than I can handle at all. The fact that my father came back, the fact that I'm half of what Micheal was, that Micheal asked me to be his one and only, that Isabel was going to be the mother of Micheal's child, that Liz is willing to go with max to find TESS, that my life is too messed up to go any further.

I didn't feel like working. I'll just call in sick because that's exactly how I felt. I got to my front door until some figure in black grabbed me from behind and dragged me into their car. I couldn't make out who it was...all i could think of was...

"HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs but no one heard me...
