Ch. 10 (The Reactions)

Liz opened her eye, she was speechless. "Max" she couldn't believe what she was looking at, looking around the room. The crib was on the opposite wall that had the door that Max had put in. The rocker was in the corner between the window and the crib. Max had put the stroller next to the rocker, temporarily until she was born. The books that Liz had put into the room where in the built-in book case that was on the other side of the same wall that had the door Max put in.

"So what do you think?"

"It's perfect…wait where did that door come from?" Liz asked him.

"I thought that if we had a door there that opens to our bathroom it would be easier for us when we have to get up at 3 o'clock in the morning. We just have to walk through our bathroom."

"I love it, thank you." Round her arms around his neck and kissing him.

Isabel and Maria were surprised on how the room turned out. Michael pull Maria into the hall, "Come on, your turn."

"Michael what is going on?"

"Just come with me." Walking her down to their kid's room. When they got to the room he opened the door and let her go in.

Kyle asked Isabel, "Can we talk?"

"Sure" Her and Kyle go into her room, which was across the hall. Isabel sat down at the end of her bed and Kyle sat down on the ottoman that she had in her room.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?"

"I'm in love with you, Isabel."

Isabel was shocked, she didn't know what to say. "um…ah…okay. Kyle I like you…and I" Taking a deep breath. "I just left Jesse. I don't know if I can or should be with anyone just yet."

"Okay"

"Kyle it doesn't mean the sometime in the future that we can't give it a shot and see where it leads…but I don't think now is a good time."

"I understand" he said and went through the bathroom until to his own room.

Max was kissing Liz, when he pulled away, "There is one more thing."

"What?"

Max extended his right arm out and flipped the light switch to the off position, using his powers and then brought his arm back around Liz, "Look up"

Liz did, "Oh Max" It looked like that night sky and right above the crib was the 'V' constellation.

"I just thought that this would complete her room. And it is more fitting."

Smiling and laughing a little, "Yeah it is. It's perfect." Kissing him again.

Maria went inside and Michael turned and flipped on the light switch.

"Michael"

"I know that we still need to get furniture and stuff like that. This is just a start."

"I love it" going up and kissing him.

Pulling away some, "I just figured that we can put a kid on each side."

"Michael it's perfect" kissing him.

Liz was standing in Max's arms as they were both looking around at their daughter room. Liz started falling asleep. She leaned in backward against Max. Max smiled, "Are you falling asleep?"

Liz opened her eyes and said, "No"

Max smiled he know that she was tired, "Come on" taking her hand and leading her to their bedroom through the bathroom. When they got into the room Max turned on the light that started getting ready for bed. While Liz just stood a few steps in their room from the bathroom staring that the playpen/bassinet that was against the wall by the bed.

"Liz" Max called to her, but got no reaction. He went up to her and touch her arm and said her name again, "Liz?"

"She going to be sleeping in there soon." She could just see her little daughter sleeping in the playpen/bassinet. What she didn't know if it was just her imagination or a vision of the future.

"Yeah"

"Max we're going to be parents" She said smiling.

Max wrapped his arms around her, "I know. I can't hardly wait…specially now that her room is done and we are ready." Liz yawned. "Okay that's it let go" pulling her over to the bed, "bed time" If this was any other day she would say that see wasn't tired, but this was different. She had spent most of the day on her feet and she didn't take her nap. So she happily obeyed her husband and went to bed. She fell asleep as soon as her head at the pillow.

Liz woke up a little before 3 the next morning was having trouble getting back to sleep. So she carefully got out of Max's embrace and headed downstairs to the kitchen. When she got there she found Isabel sitting at the table. "Hey"

"Morning Liz"

"What are you doing up so early?"

"I could ask the same about you."

"I think that your niece is trying to get me used to getting up at 3 in the morning." She said pouring some juice and sitting down across from her. "What about you?"

"Thinking too much."

"About what?"

"Kyle told me he loves me."

Liz almost chocked on the juice, "What?" she got out while coughing.

"You okay?"

"Yeah…you just surprised me with what you just said…he told you he loves you."

"Yeah, and that's the problem. I think that I might be in love with him too, but."

"But there is Jesse."

"Yeah…I just left him in Roswell…while he is probably in Boston now, but I just left him."

"Yeah"

"I just don't know what to do."

"Who do you have fun with?"

"What?"

"Between Jesse and Kyle, who do you have fun with?"

"Kyle" Smiling thinking about all the things that they have done together.

"Who makes you laugh?"

"Kyle"

"Who do you see yourself with in ten years?"

"Kyle…but only because we can't really be with anyone else and no one can know where we all are."

"Let's say that wasn't the issue and you weren't married to Jesse, who do you see yourself with in ten years? Jesse or Kyle?

Isabel thought for a few minutes and said, "Kyle"

"I think you have your answer."

"But what I am doing to do…I'm still married to Jesse."

"Maybe there is a way that we could contact your dad see if he could draw up divorce papers."

"But the problem is how am I going to sign them."

Liz took a deep breath, "That's what we have to figure out. We have all written to our parents. So I don't think that your dad would mind doing it. It's just finding away for you to sign them without letting them or anyone else know where we are."

"Yeah…well we solved one problem. Now we have another." They both laughed. After they both calmed down. Isabel continued, "I was thinking about getting a divorce from Jesse one way or another. This just isn't fare for him, not be able to see me every day and us not even living in the same state. It's not fare to him. Specially, that I'm in love with someone else. He needs to move on too."

"Yeah I agree."

"Thanks for talking with me"

"You're welcome, what are sister-in-laws for. I better get back before Max notices I'm gone and starts looking for me. Then he'll make me take two naps later today."

Isabel started laughing, "He is way over protective"

"And he is getting worse the closer to when the baby comes" Liz then thought about what he might be like when their daughter is actually here. "And after she does come, him and I may have to have a talk."

"That might be a good idea, but I don't know if that is going to work. He has always been overprotective with you."

"I know but sometimes it can get annoying"

"Tell me about it."

Liz laughs a little, "Nite Isabel"

"Good nite, Liz and thanks"

"You're welcome" Liz went back upstairs and back into bed. Isabel sat for a few more minutes and thought, then she too went back to bed.
