One
Month Later
Maria sat nervously in the doctor's office. She had come alone. Her mother would kill her if she found out and Michael would flip.
"Miss Salt?" the doctor came in. Of course she hadn't used her real name. Her mother could've found out where she had gone and easily found out her visit. "We have the results back."
"And?"
"Congratulations, you'll be a mother in eight months,"
Maria felt like someone had punched her in her gut. She was just so stunned. She knew this was partly her fault, that night she slept with Michael. But deep down she was also happy about it. She was going to be a mother. She was carrying the child of the man she was in love with.
"Thank you doctor," Maria picked up her purse and left. Once outside she made a beeline for he Jetta and drove to Michael's.
On her way there she changed her mind. She didn't want to flat out tell him she was pregnant, she wanted it to be special like when Michael let her see the flashes. She made a U-turn and headed to her house. She had some work to do.

"And he's going to have your eyes and your lips," Max made a trail of kisses from Liz's stomach to her lips. "Your wonderful, beautiful lips."
Liz smiled. "Mm…he'll be a heartbreaker." She kissed him back. "Come on get off. My mom is down stairs." She pushed him off her. "How is Isabel doing?"
"Okay, she's been really depressed lately. But that's because of Alex,"
"I wish he was here,"
"We all do,"
"I miss him," Liz rested her head on Max's shoulder.
And on with the mood swings. Max thought to himself.

Isabel sat in her room. The song on the radio made her cry.
"When I
think back on these times, and the dreams we left behind. I'll be glad 'cause I
was blessed to get to have you in my life. When I look back on these days I'll
look and see your face, you were right there for me,"
Isabel closed her eyes and when they opened she was in the middle of the desert but she could still hear the music. "Where am I?"
"In my
dreams I'll always see you sore above the sky. In my heart there will always be
a place for you for all my life. I'll keep a part of you with me. And
everywhere I am there you'll be. And everywhere I am there you'll be,"
"Tess if this is you…"
"Its not Tess Isabel,"
"No," she knew the sound of the voice all to well. "You're dead."
"Look at me," she turned to the man behind her.
"Alex…you're dead,"
"No I'm not Isabel,"
"Yes you are…this is just a dream,"
"Izzy listen to me…Max healed me…Tess mind warped you into thinking I was dead,"
"How do I know this isn't a dream?"
"You're just gonna have to trust me…in the pod chamber I'm behind the pods…Tess put me there with some food and water…if I don't get help soon I'm gonna die Izzy…please believe me,"
"Alex…I don't know what to do,"
"Please?" Isabel looked away. She didn't know what to believe.
"Well
you showed me how to feel, feel the sky was in my reach. And I always will
remember all the strength you gave to me. Your love made me make it through.
Oh, I owe so much to you, you were right there for me. In my dreams I'll always
see you soar above the sky. In my heart there will always be a place for you
for all my life. I'll keep a part of you with me. And everywhere I am there
you'll be. And everywhere I am there you'll be."
"All you have to do is check. You'll find me I promise,"
"Alex. I don't know what to believe…"
"Please…Izzy all you need to do is check,"
" 'Cause
I always saw in you my light, my strength, and I want to thank you now for all
the ways…you were right there for me. You were right there for me. For always,"
"When do I go?"
"Tonight…at seven o'clock,"
"In my
dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky. In my heart there'll always be a
place for you for all my life. I'll keep a part of you with me. And everywhere
I am there you'll be. And everywhere I am there you'll be,"
"Okay," as suddenly as everything had came it disappeared. Isabel was now in her room. "Please let it be real." She prayed.
"There
you'll be,"

Maria waited patiently for Michael to get home. She had snuck into his house and set up everything. The door opened.
"Maria," it was a statement not a question. "What are you doing here?" he saw the candles put up around his apartment. "What is it?" He was totally clueless.
"Sit down Michael," she grabbed his hands and they sat to the couch at the same time. She moved his hands to her stomach. He looked at her oddly. Michael I don't want you to be mad but…Michael…I'm pregnant."
Michael's jaw slightly dropped. He tried to speak but nothing would come out. "Are…are you sure?"
"Yeah I went to the doctor's today," he was silent again. He's hands wouldn't move from her stomach and his gave went down to this hands. "Michael?" when he looked back up he had a single tear roll off his face. "Michael." He leaned close to him and kissed the tear away. He moved his hands and pulled Maria to him.
"This is great,"
"Really?"
"Yes,"
"Come on Space boy," Maria pulled away. "We need to tell my mom."
"Oh God,"
"What?"
"She's gonna kill me,"
"No she won't,"

"I am going to kill you!" Amy Deluca yelled at Michael when they got the news.
"Mom calm down!"
"No, Maria! I promised myself you wouldn't turn out like me!" Amy picked up a frying pan. Michael ducked behind Maria.
"I'm not Mom!" Maria yelled. "Dad left you okay? Michael's not going to leave me! He loves me…and if you don't accept that…then…then I can move in with Michael."
"What?"
"Michael is a legal adult and I can move in with him…right Michael?"
"Of course. Amy…I know that you hate me, but if you love your daughter and your grandchild then you won't cast her or me aside,"
"Maria,"
"Mom you think it over. Lets go Michael,"
