Authors Note: The aliens never discovered the pod chamber, all they know is that they were hatched out of pods and ended up in the desert near Poulman Ranch.
This is set 4 years in the future, but nothing significant happened since 4 square, so Tess never got together with Max. And Alex never died.

It was the first time that Isabel Evans had had that dream in 4 years. It was about her and Michael again. But 4 years ago Michael and Isabel had ignored their destinies and settled for just being friends.
Isabel was sweating. She and Michael were back at Poulman Ranch. They were playing with a small child, Their child. It was the happiest she had ever seen Michael.
They had known they were destined to be together ever since Tess, the fourth alien had come to Roswell. She had also told them that she was destined to be with Max, making them the Royal 4. But Max had rejected her and stayed with Liz whom he was in love with.
Things had just started to settle down again. Max and Liz were engaged, Tess was with Kyle, Michael and Maria were in love and Alex was finally going out with her after 3 and a half years of lusting after her, only to be repeatedly let down.
Why now when everything had finally settled down was she having the dream again? She knew she should tell Max about her dream, but what would she tell him? She finally decided she wouldn't tell him yet but if she had the dream again she would go and tell him.
Isabel got out of bed and then carefully applied her make up. After a piece of toast she set off for collage.
Isabel sat down at a desk and opened her notebook. Her History professor started to talk about the Pearl Harbor disaster and she just switched off.
She was back at Poulman Ranch with Michael. He was holding a small child in his arms. The baby was making a gurgling sound.
Michael began to run holding the child up high. He then began to call her name. 'Isabel, Isabel'
Then she felt someone shaking her shoulders.
'Wake up Isabel, wake up' said a voice.
'Wha, ugh' she said thickly.
' Miss Evans is something wrong do you need to take a break?' Professor Lurman asked. A few people in the back row giggled.
'Uh no, I'm good.' She replied. Yeah sure she was. She was only having daydreams about being with Michael and having a child. Yep, she was swell.
As soon as class was out, Isabel grabbed her bag and ran out of the building. She got in to her car and drove straight to her brother's house.
"Max" she called "Max, are you here?"
"Oh hey Iz, how are you?" he asked
"Um, I'm not that great actually. The dreams are back." She replied.
What?!? He shouted "Again, what happened?"
"Same as last time. You know Michael and me together with a baby. But Max, what should I do?" Isabel asked him, tears appearing in her eyes as she spoke.
"I'm not sure, but I mean nothing really happened last time did it…." Max trailed off, not sure what he had meant to say.
"But Max, that's not the point! It just felt so real, and it scared me. I mean things have just started to settle down. Why now?"
"You could just try to ignore it, and eventually it will probabl…"
"NO!" Isabel cut him off. "You couldn't resist Tess at first could you?" She burst out.
Hey, hey, hey, calm down Is. Everything will be okay. We'll talk to everyone later. I'll call them all, and arrange for us all to meet at about 5:30. We'll talk it over then. And," He paused "Try not to worry."
" I'm sorry Max, I just… it all felt so real. I didn't know what to think." She replied
"Hey, don't worry about it" He said calmly, smiling.
"Okay, bye then, and I'll see you later." She replied, then she left.
Maria De Luca turned out the hall light, walked out the door and locked it behind her.
She then turned and started to walk down the street towards Max's house. She glanced at her watch, 5:20. She was going to be late, she knew it. Max had called about three hours ago to say that they all needed to talk. All, that meant Max, Liz, Isabel, Alex, Tess, Kyle, Michael and herself. She had no idea what it was about. All Max had said was to meet at his place at 5:30, and that it was important.
"Huh" she thought to herself, " 4 years ago I 'important' would have meant taking an exam. But now………? Well for all I know the world might be taken over by an evil alien race tomorrow." She let out a small laugh. A lot had changed.
Max opened the door. Maria. Everyone was here, that was the easy part. Now to the hard bit. "So, um I guess we have to talk." Max began uneasily. "Whats up?" Alex asked.
" I guess I should explain" replied Isabel. "About 3 and a half years ago I started having some dreams. And, I don't know how to say this but it was about Michael and me." At the name Michael, Maria quickly inhaled. "And, they are back."
"What happened?" Liz asked quietly. She wasn't sure she wanted to hear the answer.
"Well it was about the whole destiny thing, and well we were together and…." Isabel paused "We had a baby."
"WHAT?!?" Maria asked, "You made me come all the way down here just to be told that you are having dreams about Michael?" She burst out.
"No! It wasn't like that!" Isabel cried,
"Oh really. I don't have to stay here and listen to this. I'm going." Maria yelled.
"Maria" Isabel started, "Please, don't go."
But she had gone.
This whole time Michael had been silent, but now he spoke.
"Why didn't you tell me Iz? I deserved to know. You should have told me."
"I'm sorry. I-I didn't know what I would say. I'm with Alex now and your with Maria, I don't want that to change. Things have finally settled down and I-I," Isabel broke off.
"I think we should leave it for tonight. Were all tired. We should talk about it in the morning" Max said trying to keep the peace between Michael and Isabel, who looked about to cry.
"Yeah. Okay I'll go now." Isabel replied calming down a little. She turned and walked down the hall. Liz and Alex just stood there for a while before Liz grabbed Alex's arm, and pulled him out of the front door.
