A/N: Hey thanks you guys for the lovely reviews! Keep them coming! Here is ch. 3! (My bad on calling the last chapter "Leaving Abnormal" ch. 3 cuz I got mixed up with the prologue. It should be ch. 2 –Sorry!)



Ch. 3

Baby Talk

(Roswell, New Mexico)

I thought he'd never wake up until I felt his muscles stir beside me. I still pretend to sleep.

Any minute now he will wake me for "The Talk".

Any minute now…

Dammit what was wrong with him? Uh hello? Mr. Evans! Would you please wake up so your dear and loving girlfriend can have a very important talk with you? You see –this is exactly why I distinctly did NOT want him to know about the baby. Cuz I knew he couldn't handle it.

"Hmmmph." I hear Max groan. I turn over to look at him.

He opens one eye, now both. He looks at me and smiles, "Hey." He says and stretches.

I roll my eyes. He can be so stupid sometimes.

He looks at me with concern; I put my hands to my stomach and look back at him. He smiles again. Sheesh he is so dense! He keeps staring at me when –There it is– he sits up quickly with his eyes wide.

"Liz. Please tell me I was dreaming." He says worried, his hands on my shoulders.

Okay, I'm pissed. Why should this be such a big deal? We should be happy right? –Oh wait! Could it be that he is an alien hybrid and he doesn't know what the hell could happen if we have a child? Or could it be that we are still in high school? OR Could it be that when my dad finds out he's gonna go after Max with a machete held high? I can't help but laugh at the sight of my father chasing Max with a butcher's knife like in a cartoon or something.

"How is any of this funny to you Liz? We are in BIG trouble." Max is serious.

This just makes me laugh harder.

"LIZ!" Max yells, "What is with you?"

"You-you," I can't even speak I'm laughing so hard, "Oh god! (laughing more) Max! (still laughing) You have no idea! (laughing again) Oh Max you kill me!" I can't even look at him.

"Elizabeth Claudia Parker what the HELL do you find soooo funny?" Max crossed his arms across his chest.

"Oh baby you are so cute when you're clueless." I grin.

"Liz what am I going to do with you?" He shakes his head.

"The only thing you do so well." I stop giggling to be serious.

"And what is that?" Max says.

"Love me." I smile.

***

Okay so now that I have taken the worlds record for longest hot shower I'm ready to face whatever LONG ass speech Max has prepared to give me while I was washing up. Because if there is ONE thing that I know for sure bout this gorgeous man, it's that he always has some kind of explanation or speech or whatever it is that he does to tell me that everything is going to be okay.

So when I casually stroll into my room and find that not only is he NOT present, his clothes are not present either and my bed is made. Now this royally pisses me off!!! What the fuck? In ALLLL the years I have known Max Evans I have yet to EVER see him skip out on me. So why is it that I tell him that I'm Prego and he's out of here faster than a fart out a fat ladies butt? (A/N: LOL I don't know why I put that! :Þ)

"Liz?" Max is behind me.

So the prick DIDN'T skip out on me.

I spin around surprise written on my face, "Max! I thought you left me."

"Why on earth would I leave you?"

I look to my stomach.

"Elizabeth Parker, how can you even think it?"

I shrug and sit on my bed. Sadness and worry is about to take control of my tough exterior and I can feel the lump in my throat and the stinging of tears behind my eyes.

"Baby don't cry." Max kisses my forehead, "C'mon I made you breakfast, and your parents are still gone." He lifts my frail body off the bed and carries me to the kitchen, all the while crybaby me is still letting the tears pour out.

"Bacon and eggs and your favorite… Blueberry pancakes!" Max's face brightens. He is so good to me, after everything I have done the past couple days he is STILL good to me. Although we still do need to talk about the Tess kiss and this baby inside of me but for now… I will eat.

"Thank you." I grin and stuff my face.

Max places a tall glass of milk beside me and opens my hand to put vitamins into it.

"What is this?" I ask.

"For the baby, he needs to be as healthy as they come if he's going to be an Evans."

"Why not a Parker? We Parkers are so healthy it comes natural."

"Well we HYBRIDS don't even need vitamins, we're immune to sicknesses and flaws." He challenges me and kisses the tip of my nose.

I put another fork full of food into my mouth, chew and am ready for a comeback, "Oh yea. Well what if it's a girl?"

He is silent.

"Max?" I laugh.

"It's a boy, I know it's a boy. It's gonna be a boy and we're gonna do all the manly things we men do!" Max pounds a fist against his chest.

"Okay King Kong." I tease.

"Like your food?" Max smiles.

"Very much thank you." I say and take the last bite of my pancakes. "Mmmm." I say for effect.

"Mmmm." Max says and nibbles on my neck.

"Max!" I giggle. "We still so need to talk." I say.

He nods, "I know."

"About everything from Tess to my little girl in here." I place my hands on my tummy.

"Yes we can talk about my little boy in there."

"Girl." I correct.

"Boy." Max nods his head.

"Girl."

"Boy."

"Gir-rl!"

"Bo-yy!"

"G.I.R.L. Girl."

"B.O.Y. Boy!"

"Girl!"

"Boy!"

"GIRL!"

"BOY!"

"Boy!"

"Girl!"

"Ha! I win it's a GIRL!" I laugh and rise from my chair to put the dishes away.

Max chases me around the kitchen for a while before we settle down into the living room for our "talk".

"Now first off the whole Tess kiss was a mistake and you know it, I know that you are still angry with me but just let me tell you that it was a weird out of body experience that I can't really explain but it meant nothing I already told Tess it meant nothing and I spent the WHOLE night out side your door telling you it was nothing." Max said starting the conversation we were both dreading.

"Whatever, ya know it's not even an issue anymore, I know you love me and I know that it was a mistake. But you will have to grovel at my feet for a while longer." I tease.

"Granted." Max cuddles with me.

"Now for the baby talk." I add.

Max sighs deep.

"What are we going to do about this Max?"

"The only thing we can do about it Liz."

"What's that?"

"We have to tell the 'rents."

"NO WAY." I gasp. My parents would KILL me!!! AND Max!

"What else is there to do? They're gonna see it anyways." He took my hands in his and squeezed me tighter in his arms.

I nod, "I know but… Gosh I hate this."

"But this IS our child and it will be loved and cherished. I'm going to love it just as much as I love it's mommy." He kissed my temple.

I feel the tears coming back to me now, "I love you." I whimper.

"I love you too." We kiss.
