Isabel Rodriguez stood next to the familiar graves. Around her were her
closet friends and family. Today was the anniversary of the deaths of the
only men she ever loved. Alex had died five years earlier, Jessie one. She
still couldn't believe Alex was gone, let alone Jessie. It seemed like a
dream. But she knew it was true. One year ago, Michael, Max, Maria, Kyle,
and herself had been at Alex's grave when Mr. Valenti called. Jessie had
died in a car accident, eerily similar to Alex's. She had been shocked, and
buried him next to her first love. It seemed fitting somehow. Both had
known of her uniqueness, both learning long after meeting her. They had
told Jessie after Liz disappeared. Liz was another difficult question. They
had declared her dead; the case was closed after two years. They said no
word or sign in two years left little hope, and they should move on. But
Max refused to believe that she was dead.
Ava had come to Roswell while they were searching for Liz. They told everyone she was Tess' twin sister, raised by their mother. She had Max's son, and told Max's parents that Tess had died in a plane crash not long after the boy was born. She had told the six of them and Mr. Valenti, that Nikolas had killed Tess for not bringing them. Ava was barely able to rescue the boy, but she had also failed. Tess had hid the fact she was pregnant with twins. Nikolas had killed the little girl. Ava couldn't forgive herself for that.
Max had gotten a house for him and Ava. They shared responsibility of little Maxie. Tess named the boy after his father, and they called him Maxie for short. Isabel loved being an aunt, and was usually found at Max's with Ava. The two had become close friends. People never questioned Max and Ava's relationship, they knew that Max still loved only Liz, and that Ava lost her love in the same plane crash that killed her sister. Or so the story goes. It would too confusing to explain about Zan. They had also proved that Michael, Tess, and Ava were triplets. At least that's what they told everyone. Actually Michael and Tess were twins, like Max and Isabel. Ava had explained that they were always born in sets of twins.
That theory was proven true, when Isabel herself gave birth to twins six months before. She had found out she was pregnant days after Jessie's funeral. Luckily, there were no problems with the atmosphere, or a one- month pregnancy. Ava explained that only children of two hybrids had those problems. Max's children had been born on Antar, so Maxie had no problem once they returned to earth. Maxie looked like his father. He was going to be five in October, and was getting ready to start kindergarten. He had the powers like his aunts and uncle, and knew to never use them outside the house and their supervision.
Isabel's twins looked like Jessie and herself. The older boy, named after his father, had Jessie's hair and features with her eyes. Her daughter had her features and hair with Jessie's eyes. They called her Beth, short for Elizabeth Isabella. The two had already showed signs of powers, having connected with each other, and her parents.
They had finally told their parents the truth, everyone in fact. The Evens were surprised, but quickly accepted it. Mrs. DeLuca took it well, considering she yelled at them for over an hour for letting Tess mind warp her that day. Her mother-in-law accepted it quickly, like her parents. She figured it just made them more special in her mind. She loved the babies, and spoiled Maxie.
They had told the Parkers as well. Mr. and Mrs. Parker took it the hardest, they had accepted Max again, and after hearing everything, including why they robbed that store; they were upset with the way they had treated him. Max told them it was all the past, and they had to keep together, for Liz. They've become a big part of the group's lives, seeing in them their daughter. They especially clung to Maria, which was understandable. The group became like one big family. The only ones who didn't know, were the Whitman's, they had left town not long after Liz disappeared. No one had heard from them since.
Isabel knelt down next to the graves. "Hey you two. I hope your both happy. We miss you. Jessie, the twins are beautiful. Your mother is here; she knows everything. She has moved in with us. And she spoils them, when I watch her with little Jessie; I imagine what you were like as a baby. Take care of yourself. I'm okay here. And Alex, thank you for getting Jessie and I together, for giving me the courage to follow my heart all those years ago. I love you both." She finished standing up. She looked down at the two stones.
