Part 3.b (written by Claire, except the last letter)
Dear mom,
You aren't anywhere near anymore, but I need to talk about everything that's been happening in my life lately. I've never been more happy. We found out that Tess wasn't evil, and wasn't pregnant. Thank god. She never slept with Max. And she loves me. I love her too. Wow, it's weird, to actually say it. At the end of the next summer, we're leaving for Las Cruces. We're both going there at the university. I don't think Tess could handle a separation, I'm the person she's the closest to. And well… I think that neither could I. I'm gonna get in the basket team of the university. Tess didn't made it really clear, I don't really know what she's going to do. I think Alex is going there too, he said there was a good program for… um.. Computer stuff? Yeah, Anyway, Isabel will probably be going there, too. It would be cool. I've come to really like Alex, and I already bonded with Isabel when Alex and Tess were away. We supported each other. That's how we became friends. I really thinks it would be cool if the four of us were going. I don't think the other are going there, but it's okay. I love them all, but we don't need to see each other all the time. Plus, with a baby there, I don't think it would be fun everyday.
Love,
Your son,
Kyle.
Dear Nacedo,
I've felt kinda lonely since you died and all that stuff that happened. Thank God Kyle wasn't too angry at me when I came back and told everyone the truth. I still don't understand what you told me about this fake destiny. Was it just that you didn't know, and you tried to guess according to the pictures in the book? I guess I'll never know. I'm glad they know they can trust me now, especially Max and Liz, with their little guy coming next fall. I don't know how they can do it, nor do I know if they know it's a guy. If they don't, I just don't want to blow the surprise. I'd never be strong enough to have a baby at their age, despite what I made everyone believe before I went to Antar. Anyway, I hope they'll be fine in Boston. I wish I could be there with them, but Kyle's going to Las cruces, and he's my home now. As is New Mexico, and Roswell. Maybe that's why I'm going to Las Cruces. Roswell is the only real home I've ever had. And so is Kyle. I love him.
Hope you enjoy yourself up there, even if I don't know if there's an heaven for Aliens.
Tess.
Dad.
I don't know why I keep calling you dad, since you haven't been a dad for me in a very long time. I'll never be able to send you this letter since I don't know where you are, but I realise that I don't care anymore. I have wonderful friends, a wonderful boyfriend (when he wants to), and my life is just great.
I'm going to university in Boston next fall. I can't believe I'm going to university, plus in the same town as Max, Liz and Michael. Yeah, Michael has actually been accepted at university! We're going to have so much fun together! And then, Max and Liz with a baby! I love babies! They're so cute! Of course I'm not ready to have one myself, and I think, neither is Michael. I'm sure he's already complaining about Max and Liz' baby, although he's very protective of Liz. Yeah, you can go ahead, stonewall Guerin, I know you're a sensible guy! I'm just happy he let me find out…
Your daughter,
Maria DeLuca. (maybe Guerin, one day, you never know…)
Hey. Yeah, just hey. I don't know for whom this letter is, so just hey.
Now that I know I have that big family, I'm not as angry as I used to be at everyone. And I have my pixie. I'm so glad I have her. Not that I'm gonna tell this to anyone, anyway, but I'm still glad.
It still seems so long 'till we leave for university. I can't believe I've actually bee accepted. Neither does Maria, but she's so happy. The only problem is going to be Max and Liz. They're going to Boston, and so are we. It's not them the problem. It's just that little baby that's gonna come in fall. How are you supposed to act aroud a BABY? Guess I'll have to see it for myself. I can't believe they're gonna have a baby. So youngs. But, with that whole soulmate thing, I don't think it's really gonna be a problem to them. What is scaring me, is that Mara already told them we'd baby-sit. Ugh… Okay, I lied.
No Ugh. I actually can't wait to see it. Don't tell anybody.
Bye,
Michael.

My Dear Children,
I couldn't be more proud of all of you.
Max, Liz what you two have is special and should be treasured. I know both of you know that and do treasure it. As you will this little one. Liz I couldn't be more proud of who you choose to spend the rest of you life with.
Maria, you were like a granddaughter to me, and the same goes for you. I'm proud of who you choose. Your relationship may be different from Max and Liz's, but it is forever. Just be honest.
Alex, you were like a grandson to me, and you have also made a wise choice. Take things slow with Isabel, she wants the same things you do but she's afraid and has more things to worry about. But she does love you.
Kyle, watching you grow was like watching you father. Tess does love you. Take things slow. Everything she was taught, she had to change because of feelings and truths.
I have to go but a few last words. Maria, Michael, Liz and Max, stick together in Boston, have fun as well. Kyle, Tess, Isabel and Alex, have fun in Las Cruces and stick together. All eight of you stick together, you'll need to. Goodbye.
Your guardian angel,
Grandma Claudia.
