AN: River dog didn't die either
CHAPTER 5 (The Helper)
Michael was shocked into silence. Max and Tess gasped while Isabel had a look on her face as if to say 'I knew it'. Kyle shook his head. He thought that she shouldn't have told him. After what he did he didn't deserve to know, while the words 'There last name is Guerin' played over and over again in Michaels head.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Necado stood on the porch of the Deluca/Valenti/Whitman residence and sighed. He had just gotten off the phone to Liz who had informed him that Maria as well as the Royal four were at her apartment having a go at each other. He had hoped that the four hadn't of presented themselves yet but obviously they had. He got into his car and headed for the Crashdown. When Maria learns that he knew the aliens had returned and didn't tell her she was going to hit the roof. 'I should have told her' he scolded himself.
As he drove he started remembering the past two years. He, himself had never really liked humans until he had met Maria.

FLASHBACK
One week after Maria had found out she was pregnant she had found herself at the entrance of the Indian reservation in hopes of finding River dog. She wanted to know how this pregnancy was going to affect her and her baby and if the baby would be alright. She found him and told him of her situation.
Suddenly a voice was heard from behind her. "You're carrying a hybrid?"
Maria turned and answered the voice. "Yes"
Necado came out of the shadow and studied the small girl. He could see why the King's second took a liking to her. She was very attractive but sadness had marred her beautiful features. "The Royal four have gone. What do you plan to do?" he asked her
"What do you mean? I know there gone" she said bitterly "That's why I came here. I need help."
"We could get rid of it" Necado told her.
Maria stood there with a look of shock etched on her face. Then she got mad. She walked straight up to Necado and slapped him. "How dare you even suggest such a thing? I would never even consider getting rid of my child even if Michael is the father." She yelled
Necado looked at her wide-eyed. "You hit me" he said clearly surprised.
"Hello Mr state the obvious" Maria retorted.
"Do you know who I am? I could kill you in a second. How dare you, a human, hit ME?" he seethed.
"I'll do it again if you suggest killing my child again" she said tapping an irritated foot on the ground.
Necado stood there shocked that this human girl would have the guts to talk back to him like that. Behind him River dog stifled a laugh at Necado's obvious shock. Necado turned to glare at him then turned back to look at the girl.
"I'm not afraid of you. And if you even think about hurting my baby I'll kill you" Maria said as a matter of fact.
"Of that I have no doubt" Necado said truthfully. All of a sudden a feeling of respect rushed through him. This girl was snarky, annoying, kooky and irritating beyond belief, but somehow managed to get the human hating alien to give her respect. It was almost like it was impossible to hate the girl. "What kind of help are you after?"
END FLASHBACK ******************************
Necado laughed at the memory. He remembered the look of surprise on Maria's face at his question. Since that day Necado had helped and been there for Maria throughout her pregnancy. He then touched the back of his head suddenly remembering the pain he felt when he informed her she was having twins.
*****************************
FLASHBACK
"Maria"
"What?" Maria asked bored. She was tired and hungry. This was the third time in a row that he had scanned her today and she was getting annoyed.
"Ummmm"
"God, will you spit it out already" she told him
Necado hesitated then braced himself for her reaction. "Your having twins."
Kyle spat out his drink, Alex choked on the chips he was eating and Liz dropped the glass she had been holding. Maria didn't move for a whole minute and Necado was starting to worry. "Maria?"
The next thing he felt was a sharp pain in the back of his head from where she had pushed him onto the floor in her hast to get up. "WHAT??"
END FLASHBACK *****************************
He walked around with a lump on the back of his head for a week. Maria wouldn't let him heal it because for some hormonally explained reason she blamed him, so made him walk around for a week with a lump the size of Kansas as punishment. Every time he thought about it he'd touch the back of his head.
The pregnancy itself went well except for the occasional time when Maria's hormones were off the chart. Those days Alex, Kyle and Liz all just 'happened' to be doing something busy so Necado always was stuck with the scary woman. But with every month that passed he found himself being pulled in by her charm and personality even more. It was impossible not to like the girl. He still remembered the moment he first considered her his 'daughter'. Hell he'd never forget it. It was the best yet worst day of his entire life. He'd never forget what happened that day as long as he lived.
*********************
FLASHBACK
Maria was in labour and River dog was telling her to push.
"Come on Maria push you can do it" Necado coxed.
"Ohhhhh, I swear to god if Guerin ever comes back I'll kill him" she yelled through gritted teeth.
"Ok Maria I see the head now push" River dog told her. Necado was at his side helping while Kyle was getting his hand crushed with full force by the one in labour. By that stage Alex had fainted and Liz was trying to get him to wake up.
"AHHHHHHHHHH" Maria screamed as the cries of a baby were heard in the background.
"It's a boy" River dog announced as he handed the child to Eddie to clean up.
Necado smiled and looked over to Maria who looked noticeably weaker than she should be. River dog interrupted his worry by telling her to push again for the second child.
"Ok Maria one more to go now push." He told her. 20 mins later the cries of a second baby boy could be heard.
"Another boy" Necado announced happily. He looked over at Maria and noticed she had her eyes closed.
"Maria?" Kyle said to her quietly. "MARIA" he yelled shaking her a little. "What's wrong with her?" he asked them with tears in his eyes.
River dog looked over her. "She'd dead" he said quietly.
Necado stood abruptly and put one hand on her chest and the other one on her abdomen.
"What are you doing?" asked Kyle
Necado looked him in the eye and said "I consider Maria my daughter and those two" he pointed at the babies "My grandchildren. And no grandchildren of mine are going to grow up without their mother." He said with promise. He concentrated for a while before a soft glow was seen all around them. Suddenly Maria gasped as she took in life once again.
END FLASHBACK *************************
Necado shivered at the memory. It was the first time in his life he had cried. He cried with relief that she was ok. From that moment on they considered each other family. Necado was the father she never had and Maria was the daughter Necado had always wanted.
Since then Necado had been a constant figure in the Deluca home. He helps the boys to control their powers and on occasion baby-sits the little hell beasts. He still remembered the time when they had just started to use there powers and by accident had sent him flying across the room. Another time they had managed to turn his hair pink and his eyebrows purple. It took him 2 hours to undo what they did.
He laughed at the thought of he, out of all aliens, had become so attached that he'd die if anyone took them away from him. They were his family. He had come along way from being the human hating alien to the alien with a human family. He laughed at that as he reached the handle of the entrance to the café. He walked through the doors and up the stairs to the apartment ready to have his 'daughter' yell at him. As her approached the door he heard a very angry voice yell "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?"
