Chapter 5 Jim was trying to read the paper. He couldn't because of the loud music coming from Tess's old bedroom. He got up and walked to the door. He didn't bother knocking. He turned off the radio.

Kyle was surprised to see his dad. "Kyle, I love you." Jim just said out of the blue.

"Yeah, I love you too dad." Kyle was humoring him. "Was that it?"

"I wanted to tell you that I am proud of you. I didn't expect your reaction." Jim sat down next to Kyle.

"And what did you expect?" Kyle just decided not to assume anything.

"I expected you would be mad. Yell at Michael. Maybe call Isabel some names." Jim was being honest.

"Just because you are unable to love someone enough to trust them doesn't mean I'm not. Sorry to disappoint you but I still love Isabel." Kyle was angry that his father thought so little of him.

"My question is do you love her enough to let her go? I have a feeling you will have to soon." Jim didn't want to see his son hurt.

"Isabel is my best friend. She gave me my faith in people back. She fought to be my friend. The she fought to have my heart." Kyle's voice started to crack. " I love her more than anyone."

"Kyle, I really don't want to hurt you but you just aren't listening to me."

"You are trashing my girlfriend." Isabel walked into the bedroom. But she stayed out of sight. "Dad you just don't understand. I can't see my future without her."

"Kyle, that scares me. Look at Alex. Look at Liz. It is only a matter of time until you and Maria also have your hearts broken. I love Isabel, Max, and Michael like my own children. But trouble and heartache follows them like a shadow." Jim sounded totally sincere.

"That's nice to know." Isabel made herself visible. Her eyes were wet with tears. "I am not upset. As much as I hate it you are right."

"No he's not right. What happened to Alex isn't your fault." Kyle pleaded.

"We all have our shadows but mine is deadly. That's why after the baby is born I am leaving Roswell. I won't risk your life."

"No, I chose to love you." Kyle could lose Isabel and be strong.

"I made you ignore your instincts. You fought me the whole way." Isabel stood there trembling.

Kyle stood up and pulled Isabel into his arms. "You fought for us. No it is my turn." Isabel just pushed him away. Even though it was the hardest thing she ever did.

"Jim do you mind if I still stay here. I just think it is best." Isabel was ignoring what Kyle was saying.

"I know you can't stay with your family. Maybe you can live with Michael?" Jim didn't want to put Isabel out but his son for once is going to come first.

"No you are going to stay. I don't want you to share an apartment with Michael. You should stay. I want you to stay." Kyle was crying.

"Kyle, just because I stay doesn't mean I am going to be with you. As of right now we can't be anything more then friends." Isabel walked past Kyle and sat down.

"I am fine with it if it is what Kyle wants." Jim said before he walked out.

"Thank you Kyle. I want to live in that place about as much as I want to be pregnant." She kissed his cheek. She laid down on the bed.

"Why are you doing this to me? I love you." Kyle wiped his eyes. He sat down next to her.

"I love you too but I am not safe. I won't let your life get fucked up because mine came that way." Isabel fought tears with everything that she had.

"Why do you have to make everything so difficult? I love you all of you. I want to be with what I love." Kyle knew that those words would get him far.

"I hate to say this but I have made up my mind. I need you but it will hurt less if I end it now."

"Can't I just come with you?" Kyle pleaded.

"You are still in high school. I want you to finish. I want you to get the ride you deserve. You can be anything you want to be. You can have any girl." Isabel lectured.

"What you mean is I can have any normal girl. Normal is boring. I am use to the abnormal life. Should be, seeing that I love a beautiful alien girl." Michael smiled.

"Maybe I want normal. I would like to get married and be a soccer mom. I don't want to run from Special Agent Asshole the rest of my life. Or wait for the next time something alien will ruin my life. I just want you to have what I can't." Isabel couldn't be strong. The tears fell out of her eyes.

"You will have to run from that stuff no matter where you are. Do you think you could tell this perfect man that you are an alien? You can't have a marriage let alone the perfect marriage with that kind of secret." Kyle had to pop that bubble.

"Where am I staying?" Isabel asked coldly.

"You are there. I will go. You need to know that I love you and I am never going to stop telling you that." He kissed her cheek and left.
