The intergalactic war was over after 11 years of fighting. Xan went home
with instructions from max to stay there and be careful.
They promised to return in a little while. Ava went with them as they got into their bus and drove away.
A few months later it was all over the news, there had been a discovery. A list had been released to the media of all the people that the special unit of the FBI had gotten information from about the so-called aliens on earth.
It was also an accounting of all the people that they had killed and tortured for information. They were being shut down.
Xan saw the news one morning before school. Inside he leapt for joy. His family would be safe! A week later there was another congressional meeting on c-span.
The unit never had solid proof of aliens and the public was infuriated by their actions. So congress had declared that they knew nothing of the unit and they were shutting it down once and for all.
It was about a week after the unit was officially gone, aunt Isabel came to him in a dream again. "we're coming to visit you xan, and we have a surprise."
He was excited, he hadn't seen them since after they fought the final battle of the war, 5 months ago, he had turned 13, and he was so excited to see them.
When he met them at their meeting place, the park, he saw his surprise; liz was pregnant, very pregnant. "I'm gonna have a brother or sister?!!" he exclaimed.
"yes xan, it's a girl, we're naming her Amelia, " liz said.
"But this is gonna be our last visit for a while, liz is due in at the end of the summer and the unit is gone, so we're going back to roswell. We haven't seen our families in a long time and we want to, and we want our daughter to be born in roswell. I hope u understand xan," max said.
"I want to go with you," he said, "please?'
They all exchanged a look.
Maria spoke, "sweetie, we wish you could come but your parents, well, they don't know us, I mean can u imagine how they'd feel if u just told them u wanted to spend your summer with 7 people that they've never met before?"
She made sense, but he didn't like going so long without seeing them. "Come with me to talk to my parents, please" they agreed to go with him. They got to his house, and xan went in first. "Mom! Dad! I need to talk to you!!" his parents came into the hall.
"Alexander, what is it, whats going on son?" his father asked. "I met them Dad, my real parents, I've found them. I found them a while ago, but I was afraid to say anything, but they're here!" he said in a rush, then ran and opened the door. Max and the others came into the room.
Xan's parents were in shock. They listened as xan explained meeting them in the deli and recognizing max from his memories. he told them how he spoke to them and found out that max and liz ( he didn't want to go into having to explain tess to them) were his biological families.
Max and the others told xan's parents a false story about how they had to give xan up because the crazy special unit was after them, because they thought that they had information pertaining to aliens. They were dangerous and had threatened to come after their families so they gave xan up to protect him and had been on the road hiding since. But with the demise of the unit, they were finally safe. it was partially true and they couldn't very well tell them the whole truth.
The whole time his parents listened quietly, but after everyone was done speaking; xan's mother spoke up, "so what do you want?"
"liz is pregnant, and we're returning home to roswell to see our families and have the baby. Xan wants to come with us. And we want him to, it would be for the summer and then he'd come back."
They thought for a moment. " we want our son to know you, and for you to be a part of his life, but we don't really know you, so if you are going to be here, then I suggest you come to dinner every once in a while and that way, we can get to know you and make sure it's safe for xan to go with you to roswell this summer."
Max was shocked that they had agreed so easily, he looked at his family and when he caught ava's eyes, he realized that her power of "persuasion" might have had something to do with it.
So for the next few weeks they visited xan and then his parents agreed that he could go with them to roswell. They left right after school ended; they piled into the bus and drove.
