"What is this place Max," Valenti asked as he and the four teens entered the pod chamber.

"You wanted answers," Max said turning to him. "This is where you'll find them."

Once completely inside Valenti stood stunned at what he was seeing. There in front of him stood four sacks neatly stacked, two on top of the others.

"We're not exactly from around here," said Max.

Valenti placed a hand in his pocket as he continued to stare at the pods. "I'm gathering that."

"Our ship crashed in 1947. This is how we were born."

Max looked at Valenti and Jim could see the pain his eyes along with the eyes of the other three teens.

"This is our lives Sheriff," Max pleaded. "We're placing them in your hands. You saw what Agent Pierce tried to do to us. It's people like him why we've always got our defenses up."

Jim nodded. "Well you have my word Max, you all do. I'll keep your secret."

"His girlfriend knows," Michael said speaking up. "So do Alex and Maria."

"I'm guessing they've known for a while," said Valenti. "Since Miss Parker got shot?" Max nodded. Valenti turned back to the pods. "This explains so much. I never wanted to believe there was something out there, never wanted to believe my father's stories were true."

"We know this is a lot to handle," said Isabel.

Jim turned to look at her. "I'll get used to it and I'll do everything in my power to protect the four of you."

"Five," Michael corrected.

Jim looked puzzled.

"Michael," Isabel said staring him down.

Michael stared her down as well not wanting to back away from his thoughts. "He's part of this secret now Isabel, has the right to know."

"What am I missing here," asked Valenti.

The group all looked at each other. It was Max who looked Valenti and spoke up.

"Isabel's pregnant," said Max.

Isabel crossed her arms. "Thanks a lot Max," she said feeling embarrassed.

"Michael's right, Valenti deserves to know."

"And yet I'm not allowed to tell our parents. They're gonna find out eventually. I mean god Max, I had to wear your jeans today because mine don't fit anymore."

Max felt uncomfortable listening to Isabel as she described the slight changes to her body. He quickly composed himself. "That's different. At least now that Valenti knows we'll be able to better protect you regardless if you're keeping it or not."

"If," Isabel said getting upset. "You still can't accept it can you?"

"Can we talk about this later?"

"When, you never want to. I'm keeping this baby Max and sooner or later you're going to have to deal with that."

Isabel looked at Valenti and apologized for her short outburst before leaving. Michael was going to go after her but Tess went instead.

"Does Alex know," Valenti asked.

"What, Alex," Michael said sounding a little confused.

"Well aren't he and Isabel-,"

"It's not his, its mine," Michael said clarifying.

"Oh I didn't know you and Isabel were-,"

Michael sighed, "We're not. It's complicated."
