Part 6 (and last part thankfully!)
"So, Max, Liz, I think there's a few thing you should know about the pregnancy..."
"What do you mean? Oh please tell me I won't be pregnant for only a month! That would be really hard explaining our parents!"
"No, um… actually, it's quite the opposite."
"Uh? Care to explain?"
"Well, you see, Liz, when Max healed you, he changed you. But I think you already know about that. Anyway, now you've a part of you, which is alien. But before your child can start to develop and be bigger than a few cells, your body will have to find the right balance between your human and your alien side, ya know, the perfect match."
"You mean that I am going to turn alien?"
"No, not really. You see, Michael, Isabel Max and I are hybrids. And you are going to be half hybrid and half human. For the moment, you've already changed, and from what I've been told, you're like 25% alien and 75% human. Those changes took place in about 2 years. But now that you're pregnant with an alien baby, you're going to change quicker. The right balance for the baby is 50/50. And it should be reach in a year approximately. Then the pregnancy will last 5 months, it's because it's half way between an alien pregnancy and a human one."
"So we have like… 9 month before worrying about telling our parents?"
"Exactly Max." Max let out a sigh of relief. He wasn't really ready to face Liz's parents yet.
"Um… Tess?"
"Yeah Maria?"
"Um… How the change will occurs for someone who hasn't been… changed?"
"I'd say, about two years, then the baby should start to develop for a five months period.
"Will it always took so long?"
"Hopefully no. The change will be there already; once the change is done, you can't reverse it and the whole pregnancy will only last five months."
Maria sighed with relief. She had seen pregnant women, and there was no way she was going to have morning sickness for two year at each pregnancy.
"Tess, what about us? I mean as an alien woman, if we have children with an human, will the pregnancy last five months, too?"
"Um… No, it won't last five months, because it's you who'll be carrying the child. There's a slight difference, thought, because if the baby is not totally alien, your body will have to change just a bit, for the baby to be able to handle it. In opposition to the humans, your body goes back to normal… um, I mean normal for an alien, once the baby is born. So the change have to take place at each pregnancy. The whole pregnancy should last two months, maybe three, but it will rather last two months, I guess."
"Wow, that's pretty short still."
"Well, Isabel, I think you're lucky. Okay, maybe you'll have a hard time explaining to the people you know that you have a baby when two months ago you didn't know you were pregnant, but at least you won't have to be pregnant more than two years like me!"
"Yeah, maybe you're right. I'm starting to think that the humans normal none months are pretty… 'Fitting?'."
"Yeah, me too. So, Tess, is that your parents that filled you in with the alien/human pregnancies?"
"Actually, no. I read it in the 'Destiny book'. It wasn't written that we were family, so when I first read it, everything wasn't totally clear. I thought the pictures of pregnant women were there to lead us. When I reread it on Antar a week ago, everything was clear. It was like the fact of being on Antar gave me more memories back. And everything made perfect sense. Imagine my surprise when I comprehended that the drawing were actually explaining alien/human pregnancies. It seemed so weird to me, because I was still thinking about the… uh… wrong destiny. Then it hit me. We were family. Of course they would have known we would be lonely if we couldn't bond or mate or whatever you want to call it with humans."
"So, your peoples don't care about you being with an human?"
"No, it's the opposite. They think that by… bonding with human, we're preparing a peace between our two worlds. Of course, that peace won't takes place before hundred of years, but we're preparing it somehow."
"That's so cool! Do you imagine that I, Alex Whitman, am helping to bring a peace which will take place in hundred of years! And I'm a part of it!"
"Alex!" chided him Isabel, but with a playing grin on her face.
"Hey, you know, he's not wrong."
"Spaceboy!" said Maria with a threatening voice.
"So, are there any other question, or can I go home with Kyle to see Jim and to get some sleep, cause those space travels are really tiring?"
"You call the Sheriff Jim?" asked Maria as her eyes widened.
"Well, yeah, duh, she lives with us, you don't seriously think my dad was going to let her call him 'sheriff' every time she'd speak with him."
"You got a point here. I think that's it, you can go home Tess now if you want."
"Um… No. Wait Tess!"
"What's going on Liz?"
"Um… you see, um… I saw what happened thanks to the flashes, and Max remember it as a dream, but… I'd like to know if there's a way for us to… really… remember… what happened."
"Oops, sorry, my mistake." Tess remained silent for a few seconds, her eyes closed. Then they popped open, and looking at a very flushed Max and a bright red Liz, she said with a knowing smile: "I think the mistake is repaired."
But they weren't paying any attention to her. Now, they both had eyes only to each other. As the seconds passed, it was more and more uncomfortable for the people in the room, how Max and Liz looked… starved.
"Um, Tess, I think it's time for us to leave."
"Yeah, I think so, too." She said, before hurrying out of the room with Kyle.
"Um, Max, Liz, I think am going to give a ride to Isabel, Alex and Michael… and… and… Are you still with us?"
"No, Maria, I think they're not. Come on, I think we better leave right now before we have to see some disgusting PDA."
"Okay." Then turning to Max and Liz, she yelled: "WE'RE LEAVING!!!" She smiled as the two lovebirds abruptly stopped their staring contest to look at her with embarrassed looks on their faces.
"Um… uh… Yeah, okay, Maria, I-I'll see you tomorrow."
Maria stopped and turned around as she stepped past the door, and said with a fake grin: "Of course!". Then, turning away, she added under her breath: "But, personally, I don't think I'll be able to get a hold of you in the next days, judging by the look Max have on his face." And with that, she hastened herself out of the Parker's apartment before hearing anything she wouldn't want to hear.
Back at the Crashdown:
"So," Liz said, coming closer to Max, and bringing her lips to his own.
"So?" he asked in a whisper. She brought her mouth back on his again, and kissing him between each little words, she said:
"So… what… do you… say… we start… making… new… memories…?"
THE END!!!!!
SO? I know that last part was pretty short, but I had already say pretty much everything. Anyway I want to thank all the people that reviewed, and those who will review hopefully.
I was kinda thinking about a sequel, but the idea is still fuzzy in my head. So, if the idea clears itself, you'll maybe hear more of that little story.
