"Has she reported in?" The man asked behind the desk.
"Yes sir, the plan started last night," another man in front of the desk said.
"Good, we will have them in no time," he said smiling.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~
Ava, Maria and Isabel knocked on Liz's bedroom door, waiting till they heard, "COME IN!" Isabel opened the door and stopped suddenly as they saw Liz sitting on her bed folding up a dress that only Hope could have fit into. She looked up, smiling a little when she saw who it was. "Hey."
"Hi," The three girls said. Walking into the room, Isabel walked forward a little facing Liz. "Ummm... Liz could we talk?"
"Sure, What's wrong."
Maria and Ava sat down on the floor right beside the bed. Isabel sat on the edge of the bed; looking down at her folded hands, "I did something bad.. Um... I was worried about you so I kinda went into your dreams last night. I'm really really sorry." Isabel said still not looking at me.
My hands froze and my heart stopped. (I was trying to explain that even though Nancy and Liz connected, Nancy hasn't gone that far into Liz's memories. But, the dream was more detailed and more is shown especially the physical pain she went through). I dropped the dress in my hands and looked at her, "There's no possible way. I protect my dreams from intruders."
"I got past the barriers.. I'm really really sorry." I put my face in my hands; my eyes caught Maria's face and I looked up. For the first time I saw how red her and Ava's eyes where. 'They must have been crying"
Shaking my head, and running my hands through my hair, "She was right you know. The only reason I made it through it was the group and Eva. When I found out I was pregnant again I hated the way I was feeling, the hate I had for everyone was consuming me. But, at the same time I use to sleep any chance I got so that I could pretend I wasn't in that hellhole. The dreams where wonderful when Max and I first kissed. Dates, days when we would just hang out at the Crashdown anything and everything I could think off..." I didn't know what else to say. I felt someone touch my hand and the bed go down as someone sat down. I looked up and saw Maria holding my hand and tears running down her cheeks. I looked over and saw Ava sitting beside Isabel; both of them crying as well. Isabel still looked guilty I looked into her eyes they were filled with sadness and regret. "I don't like what you did, but I would have done the same thing if I were you." I said and reaching with my free hand taking her's. "Just promise me you won't do it again."
"Promise," she said wiping the tears with her other hand.
"Ask your question," I say looking straight into her eyes.
"Actually it's more Ava's," she answered. Looking over at Ava.
"Okay, Ava ask?"
"Umm. well last night we did the math and when you where pregnant with Eva and Hope's the time distance doesn't work out."
"Did you show them the dream?" I asked Isabel, continuing when she nodded. "Well, that chamber that they put me in was called a growth camber. It exhilarated my pregnancy by 1 month so I was in Manticore for two weeks prior and then two weeks after. When I escaped I already had given birth to both. I was in there for only two month. "
"That makes a lot more sense. Are they both okay?"
"Yes, they're both perfectly normal I did the test's myself after the escape."
"MOMMYYYYYY..." Eva yelled from down stairs.
"Wow, she's loud," Maria cried in between laughing soon Ava and Isabel started too.
"That's nothing." I say listening to the loud running footstep on the stairs. Eva ran into the room and dragging two bags behind her dropping them in the doorway and jumped into my lap.
Eva looked over at Isabel smiling at her, "Hi Auntie Isabel."
Isabel's eye's widened at the name and Isabel looked at me. A smile formed on her lips as I nodded to her. Eva looked down at Maria "Auntie Maria you hide too good. I didn't see you," she said giggling. Maria's face mirrored Isabel's and I squeezed her hand.
Eva tugged my sleeve to get my attention, looking down into her chocolate drown eyes. I lowered my head to her level and she whispered into my ear. "Who is she?" Looking over at Ava.
I whispered into her ear. "Ava."
"Is she my aunt as well?" She asked back.
"Okay what is going on, we can't hear you but your lips are moving," Isabel asked.
Eva looked up at me and smiled, pushing her bangs out of her eyes I smiled back. "It's part of the fact of us being transgenic. We can whisper so low you won't be able to hear us."
"So." Eva whispered.
"Ya, princess she is." I whispered back.
"Okay, okay it's starting to get creepy."
A giggle came over the baby monitor, announcing Hope's wakening. Eva and I chuckled and she got off my lap and letting me get on my feet, "Excuse me," I said to the girls. Walking to the adjoining door my mother put in to adjoin the half room that we have been using for a closet. That is now been transformed into a small but beautiful baby room. The walls were painted a light yellow, a white crib on the wall with Winnie the pooh sheets, comforter and bumper (the thing around the bars; so they don't hurt themselves.) A white dresser with a change table attached the top and a chest fill of baby toys; white silk drapes with blue stars on them hung on the window. "Mama," Eva slurred, as I walked over to the crib, Hope was already standing up her small hand grasping the bars. "Hey sweetie," I say picking her up in my arms. Hearing the girls talking outside, "Want to go see your aunts and sister," I say already walking out. I stopped in the doorway watching Eva and Maria wrestling on my bed, sending some of the folded clothes to the ground. Ava and Isabel were leaning against each other holding their sides laughing. Hope giggled in my arms getting their attention, making me start laughing at the expression of the three getting caught with their hand caught in the cookie jar. "You guys hungry?" I asked making my way to the door watching as Maria and Eva scrambled of the bed making the rest of the clean clothes off the bed and out the door. Isabel and Ava laughed as they followed them out the door. Sighing at the two loads I was going have to re-fold again tonight, looking down at Hope she reached out and played with my lips, while giggling as I nibbled them.

"Lizzie you home," Nancy Parker yelled to her daughter at the bottom of the stairs.
"In my bathroom," she heard a mumbled voice. Making her way up the stairs and into Liz's and the kid's bedroom, she heard giggling in the bathroom. Laughing as she saw the sight in front of her, Liz was in a shirt and shorts and her arms, shirt and face was filled with bubbles; you could still see brown stuff under it the same brown substance on the two children in the bathtub.
"Something you need to tell me?" My mom asked, trying to look mad.
"Well, Maria thought the Sunday I had just made would be better to throw instead of eat. Thus the chocolate sauce and ice cream." I explained thinking of how Maria had come after her for the first hit. Snapping out of my thoughts as my mom starting laughing. "It's not funny!!"
Nancy walked over to the counter and picked up a washcloth; kneeling down and dipping it into the tub. Bring it up to my face and washing of the chocolate sauce and bubbles. After we washed the slop off the two splashing children and wrapped them into two towels. Then getting them both into their P.J's, I set Hope onto my lap and place the basket of clothes on the bed and started to fold them up again. "Do you need help?" My mom asked as she carried Eva back into the room after she had finished her before bedtime snack. "No, why don't you go to bed."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. Now go!" I cried pointing to the door.
"Okay okay," she said, coming over and kissing my forehead then doing the same to Eva and Hope. After my mom left I went back to folding the laundry as Eva sat at the end of the bed watching the T.V that was on my dresser. Hope started to fall asleep in my lap so I got up and walked into her room and put her gently into the crib kissing her head and pulling the covers over her little body. Dimming the lights and closing the door slightly, I walked back down to the bed sitting down.
"She's gone to bed, Mommy." Eva asked not looking up from the T.V.
"Yeh, she feel asleep the moment I put her down," I say going back to my folding.
Just as I started to fold that last dress Eva turned around and asked, "Why is grandpa and grandma keeping secrets, from us?"
I looked up at her surprised, "Why do you say they're keeping secrets?"
"Because I can feel it and any time grandpa gets near me grandma always comes in and makes an excuse."
"Sweetie she just wants you to herself," I say, not convinced myself what I was saying.
"She won't leave without knowing grandpa is gone. She doesn't like him close to her either and he's always looking at me weird," she says.
"I'm sure it's nothing, princess;" I say putting her hair behind her ear.
"Mommy they're keeping something and it's not good. I know it and how many times have I been wrong."
"No you haven't," I said. Midnight rolled around way to soon, Eva fell asleep in my arms and we are sitting in the rocking chair I put on the side of the crib. Hope twisted a little," shhhh.." I whispered to her; rocking Eva and couldn't help think back to Eva's words and wonder.
'What are you hiding mom?'
