Chapter 5
Diane: Not so fast Isabel. We haven't finished talking yet.
Isabel: I thought we just did.
Diane: You did but let me and your father take some time to process all of this. First of all, have you gone to see a doctor?
Isabel: And tell them what exactly? That the child I'm carrying is half human, half alien?
Diane: Then what are you going to do once the baby comes?
Isabel: I'm having a home birth, its less risky.
Diane: Okay, next question. Was this planned?
Isabel: Technically it was but if you mean had we planned it four months ago then the answer is no.
Diane: Okay, question three. Are you even ready to become a parent?
Max: Mom!
Phillip: Diane maybe you should stop interrogating your daughter.
Diane: I want to know Isabel. Are you ready to become a parent?
Isabel: I don't know. But in the dreams we've had we were good parents.
Diane: They're just dreams Isabel.
Isabel: They're more than that. Ever since Michael and I got together the dreams have returned. They've been calling out to us.
Diane: Isabel don't go through with this. You are not married and are constantly on the run. That's not the kind of environment you want to raise a child in. That and you aren't ready.
Isabel: How would you know?
Diane: I know because my mother was twenty when she had me. You are making a huge mistake if you go through with this Isabel.
Isabel: Well I'm sorry you feel that way but I'm going to do this. I will not destroy my own child.
Michael: I think it's time for us to go.
Max: On that note we should be going too.
Diane: Not so fast Isabel. We haven't finished talking yet.
