(Alex never died, was in the car accident but Max saved him, and is still with Isabel. conventional characters.) Maria realizes Alex and Michael are hiding something from the rest of the group. While Maria spies on Michael, Isabel is forced by Max to watch Alex.
Chapter One
Alex held Isabel's hand while Doctor Morgan poked and proded at his body. The hospital room walls were a bare white, with a few pictures of sunsets and paintings of flowers by famous artists. The bed was pushed back against the wall with a small rolling table next to it. The curtains were white, but turning a dirty color. The sheets that were pulled back from the bed were also white. Alex flashed a "don't worry smile" at Isabel, and glanced back at the doctor.
"Well, everything looks good, Alex. If all of your tests come back looking good I think you're well enough to recover in your own comfortable bed," Doctor Morgan smiled at Isabel and Alex, and shook both of their hands. "I'll be down at some other patients. I'll be around later to check up on you."
"Thanks, Dr. M," Alex nodded. He rested his head against the bed, and sighed deeply.
"What? Are you in pain? Alex?" Isabel asked, worriedly.
"No, no, nothing like that Isabel," Alex grinned. He placed a comforting hand gently around the back of her neck, and pulled her head towards him. He kissed her forehead, and smiled again. "I was thinking about my own bed. You. Me. Comfortable bed..."
"Alex." Isabel scolded.
"I know, I know," Alex grinned, chuckling lightly.
"Hey, did we hear some laughing from in here?" Liz asked from the door, walking to Alex's bed. She kissed his cheek, and let Max wrap his arms around her waist.
"Yeah, sounds like you're doing better," Max smiled, patting his new friend's shoulder lightly.
"All thanks to you guys," Alex said seriously, looking at Max. "Especially you."
"Well, what can I say. The girls would have killed me," Liz elbowed Max in the stomach ever so lightly. "And you did the whole blood switch for me, so we're even."
"Alright, guys, out. Scoot. Mr. Whitman needs his rest," Bonnie Marks, the floor nurse grinned, escorting the couple and Isabel out the door. Isabel kissed Alex on the lips and walked towards the door.
"We'll see you later," Isabel smiled at Alex, and then left the room.
"He looks better," Liz said confidently to Maria, who was refilling the salt and pepper shakers. "I mean that's good right. Him looking better everyday so he can come home."
"Yeah, Liz," Maria said, watching Michael leave the Crash Down. "Where do you think he's going for his break? He never leaves for his break."
"Maria, who cares?"
"I do, he's being secretive again," Maria grumbled angrily.
"Not just to you Maria. To all of us," Max said, sitting at the counter across from Maria and Liz.
"Here," Michael handed the light blonde haired female an envelope. She cautiously opened it, revealing cash.
"Michael, I can't take this," the girl responded by shoving the money back into the envelope and holding in front of him.
"Katelyn, take the money for a hotel room, and when Alex gets out of the hospital we'll figure out a place you can stay."
"Do the others know?"
"About you?" Michael asked, and Katelyn nodded her head. "No, not yet. We've still got to figure out what happened with you."
"Michael, it's simple to figure out. I came down on the ship with you four. My pod was taken with Nasedo and the other three aliens captured."
"But we still don't know how you connect to the rest of us. I mean, me and Isabel are "destined" to be together, I'm Max's second-in-command, Tess and Max belong together, and Max and Isabel are brother and sister. What connection could you have with us?"
"I'm connected with you."
"How?" Michael asked, now even more confused then ever.
"I'm family, Michael. I'm your sister."
