Chapter 11

Evan's Residence

Michael and Isabel are in Isabel's room resting on the bed. Michael is sitting up against the wall and Isabel is resting her head on his chest. Michael's hand is on Isabel's stomach.

Michael: Long day hu?

Isabel: The longest but in all reality, despite the casualties, it was worth it.

Michael: Why do you say that?

Isabel: Well Vilandra is now out of my system for good and we no longer have to worry about Kivar ever again.

Michael: We might not have Kivar anymore but we still have the special unit to worry about.

Isabel: I know but we can worry about that later. Isabel closes her eyes. There is a knock on the door and Diane enters. Isabel quickly sits up.

Diane: Sorry to just interrupt. I was hoping we could talk.

Michael: I'll leave.

Diane: No Michael, I need to talk to the both of you. Diane gets Isabel's desk chair and sits down. Isabel and Michael are sitting at the edge of the bed. I know I haven't been the most accepting to the news about the two of you having a baby and I'm sorry. It's just hard for mother to believe that her own daughter is going to be a mother herself.

Isabel: Mom, Max had a son over three years ago.

Diane: I know but it's different for a mother and daughter when it comes to having children. In all honesty I've been kind of scared.

Isabel: Scared of what?

Diane: Of all this. I'm just not sure I can be a good influence on a hybrid child.

Isabel: You've done good so far. It's because of you that I know I can be a good mother to my son. Isabel's eyes start to tear.

Diane: Son? Isabel nods. How did you find out? I thought you didn't want to see a doctor.

Isabel: I didn't, instead I saw a healer. Max used his powers like an ultrasound.

Diane: Well I'm happy for you, the both of you.

Isabel: Thanks.

Michael: okay before this gets all lovey-dovey there's just one more thing that needs to get done.

Isabel: And that would be? Michael stands up and gets on one knee in front of Isabel as he pulls out a black velvet box. Isabel's eyes widen.

Michael: Isabel, you and I were together long before we came to Earth and I want us to be together now. Not just because of our son and not just because its our destiny but because I truly love you. Isabel Evans, will you marry me?

Isabel: Yes, yes Michael I will. Michael and Isabel stand and kiss passionately. Diane looks on and smiles. Michael then moves down and kisses Isabel's stomach causing her to let out a little giggle. Then Michael moves up and kisses Isabel on the lips again.
