Chapter 4
Michael's Apartment
(Max, Michael, and Isabel are all talking.)
Max: So mom was questioning you?
Isabel: Yea. She said I had secrets just like you. She's our mother I thought we could trust her.
Michael: She's not your mother.
Max: Michael's right. No matter how hard we try she can never be our real mom.
Isabel: I know. I guess there was always some part of me that wanted it to be true, to feel like we were normal humans. Who knew it would take a dream and a baby to knock some sense into me, hu?
Michael: You might not have your parents but you have me. I'm not going anywhere.
Max: Neither am I. (All three of them smile.)
Isabel: There is one other thing. I think mom suspects something is wrong.
Max: Why do you say that?
Isabel: A few minutes before I left the house I ended up getting a little sick.
Max: But we don't get sick.
Isabel: I know but I guess the human way applies to alien pregnancies as well. Morning sickness, body aches, that sort of thing.
Max: About that. I have some good news. Tess told me that alien pregnancies only last a month.
Isabel: Are you serious? (Max nods.)
Michael: That is good news. I doubt I could handle this for nine months. (Michael gives a little smirk at Isabel. There is a knock on the door. Michael goes to answer it and its Mr. and Mrs. Evans.)
Phillip: Hello Michael.
Michael: Mr. and Mrs. Evans. Please, come in.
