Part 42: Unfair

Liz sighed and snuggled closer to the large hard body behind her. She loved how she fit so perfectly into his embrace pressed up against his chest tightly, his arm tucked securely under her breast. Right after the two finished their school work they went to bed tired from all of the stress of the day.

"What's wrong?" His voice rumbled from behind her startling her.

"Sorry did I wake you?" She asked turning to face him slightly looking into his sleepy blue eyes.

"Yeah I felt you shift. You alright?" He asked sighing when he felt her snuggle closer resting her head in the crook of his neck.

"I'm fine." She said softly kissing his neck.

"Then why are you up?" He asked running his hand down her back sending her into a fit of shivers.

"The baby is moving." Liz whispered.

"What!" Tyler suddenly sat up knocking the covers off of them.

"Here" Liz said grabbing his large hand she placed it over her small bump on the lower right side. It was a small flutter like movement but they both felt it. Tyler's blue eyes lit up when he felt his baby kick.

"Wow." He breathed moving closer to her.

"I woke up because it felt like a fish was swimming around my stomach, it took me a moment to realize what had happened." Liz said smiling when Tyler did not move his hand.

"Baby this is amazing I can't believe this is happening." Tyler said hugging her close peppering her face with kisses.

"I know it feels so weird knowing that the fluttering feeling I am having is our baby, it just makes it so much more real." Liz said.



"I love you." Tyler said kissing her soundly.

"I love you too." She said pulling his face down for a tender kiss before he pulled away pulling on his PJ bottoms.

"What are you doing?" Liz asked seeing him heading for his bedroom door. He turned around and looked at her with a boyish grin.

"I have to go and get my dad he is going to flip!" Tyler said racing out of the room reappearing moments later with his father who looked giddy and bed rumpled.

"Can I feel please?" Jason asked bouncing onto his son's bed as Gwen came into the room as well looking far more composed but happy none the less.

"Sure." Liz said bringing his large hand to her stomach, moments later she felt the swimming feeling in her stomach.

"Oh my grandbaby." Jason said his blue eyes alight with happiness.

"Can I feel?" Gwen asked and soon Liz had her hand on her as well.

"This is so great, my mom and dad in my bed with my girlfriend." Tyler said before he shook himself realizing his words came out wrong.

"Get over here daddy." Gwen said to her son with grinned at his mother's words. Tyler climbed behind Liz pulling her further into his embrace as his parents continued to coo over Liz's stomach.

Roswell

Maria bounced around her house darting away from Reid as he searched for her. Pogue left after they left the club, no girl on his arm leaving Maria and Reid all alone in her home since her mom was staying the night at the Valenti's.

"Marco!" Reid sang from the kitchen making Maria grin form behind the swinging door.

"Polo." She purred when he finally came through the door his eyes flashing with glee.



"Look at what I found, I found myself a hot girl." Reid said wrapping his arms around her bending down for a kiss.

"So Mr. Garwin now that you found the girl whatever are you going to do with her?" Maria asked batting her eyelashes.

"I don't know that depends on what she wants to do after all she is in her house and said boy does not want to do anything to upset her." Reid said kissing her again.

"Well in that case I want said boy naked and in my bed." Maria said unbuttoning his shirt slowly. "What do you say to that Mr. Garwin?" Maria asked.

"As my daddy says…ye ha." Reid said throwing her over his shoulder before he deposited her on her bed.

"Oh I always wanted a cowboy!"

Elsewhere in Roswell

Alex looked nervously at the door in front of him he was now regretting the decision to have dinner with the Evans family. Apparently after his and Isabel's walk her mother and father had cornered her and drilled her about their relationship and it somehow ended with Alex having to come to dinner so that they could get to know him better.

"Alex?" Isabel asked coming outside giving him a confused look wondering why he had not knocked on the door.

"Is this a good idea?" He asked looking a little on the green side making Isabel smile at his uneasiness.

"It is a great idea Alex, I think my parents have realized that you mean more to me than I was letting on." Isabel said a small blush tinting her golden cheeks.

"What are you two doing out here?" Mrs. Evans asked seeing the two kids on the front porch.

"I am having last minute jitters here Mrs. Evans." Alex mumbled making the older woman laugh.

"You have nothing to worry about Alex, come on in." Diane said leading the lanky kid inside along with a giggling Isabel.

"Philip, Alex is here." Diane said and a moment later the attorney appeared around the corner. The older man looked over the male teen instinctively knowing that this was the one that was going to stick around, he was going to be a member of the family one day. He could see it in the way Isabel moved around him and the way she glowed, she was never like that with anyone else not even Michael and the Evans had been sure that Isabel and him would get together eventually.

"Welcome Alex." Philip said grabbing the kids hand in a very firm grip but Alex did not even flinch, Pogue was much worse when it came to Liz.

"Thank you sir." Alex said grinning when Isabel latched onto his arm.

"Well if only Max and Liz were here this would be the perfect family get together." Diane said noticing the pained look on Isabel's face and Alex's stony look.

"What is it?" Philip asked.

"Max and Liz broke up last year daddy." Isabel said.

"Oh that's right he listened to that dreadful music for months. He is with that Tess girl right?" Philip asked.

"Not sure dad there is no telling with Max. He is still trying to get Liz back but at this point it is just stupid to try." Isabel said.

"Isabel you should be there for your brother he obviously cares for Liz a great deal." Diane said.

"Ah Mrs. Evans I know that there is no chance that Liz and Max will ever get together again." Alex said rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"What?"

"Liz is pregnant daddy." Isabel said. The two adults were silent then her father exploded.

"I can't believe your brother was so irresponsible but Liz has to let him be there for the baby." Philip raged.

"Ah no Mr. Evans I think you took what Isabel said wrong. Liz is pregnant but Max is definitely not the father." Alex said. Max's parents stood there stunned not believing that Liz perfect Parker was pregnant and their son was not the father.

"And before you ask no Kyle is not the father." Isabel said.

"Then who is?" Philip asked.

"Liz's boyfriend." Isabel said.

"The two of them have known each other for years Mr. and Mrs. Evans and when Liz and Max went out the two of them were on a break. Then this past summer the two of them ran into each other again and one thing led to another and they got back together and now she is expecting a baby." Alex said.

"So Max was a rebound." Diane said understanding shining in her eyes.

"Liz would never do that, at one point she really did like him but there is no denying the connection between Tyler and Liz." Isabel said sticking up for her friend.

"Where is Tyler from?" Diane asked.

"Ipswich, Massachusetts." Alex said not seeing how where Tyler was from was important.

"What is his last name?" Diane asked looking interested.

"Simms mom, but why all the questions?" Isabel asked.

"We are just curious Isabel." Diane said not seeing her husband's face pale.

"Daddy?" Isabel asked.

"By any chance his father would not be Jason Simms would it?" Philip asked.



"Yeah actually it is." Alex said.

"So Liz is carrying the Simms heir?" Philip asked looking even greener.

"How did you…" Alex looked grim. "What faction are you from?" Alex finally asked startling the two women.

"I'm not from a faction but I know a warlock." Philip explained looking sheepish.

"Bad guys." Alex said.

"Then again so are the Simms." Philip said leaving the two women confused.

"No they are not. People just assume that being a member of the Covenant makes them evil but really they are good people who have a lot thrown at them. Sometimes in order to win you have to fight dirty." Alex said.

"I agree. I met Jason Simms once, scary guy." Philip said.

"His son is scarier." Alex said.

"Okay what is going on?" Diane asked.

"Alex?" Isabel asked.

"Isabel it looks like your dad knows more about the supernatural world than he let on." Alex said looking at her pointedly.

"So you mean he would understand." Isabel breathed.

"Yeah he would." Alex said. Diane and Philip watched as their daughter fought an internal battle before looking determinedly at Alex.

"Get Michael here, my parents need to know what is going on." Isabel said.

"I will let Michael know what has happened tonight Isabel but he deserves a say in if they know or not." Alex whispered Isabel looked disheartened but nodded in agreement.
