Chapter 7
Diane: In a dream? Honey, you can't get pregnant from a dream.
Isabel: Well I can.
Phillip: That doesn't make any sense. People just can't get pregnant from dreams. Isabel are you even sure you're pregnant.
Isabel: Yes.
Diane: Well have you gone to a doctor to confirm it?
Isabel: I can't go to doctors. They'll just end up doing blood tests.
Phillip: Isabel if you're worried about the needles...
Isabel: Dad it's not about the needles!
Phillip: Then what is it? (Michael takes Isabel's hand and squeezes it. She squeezes back.)
Isabel: It's the tests in general, if they do tests with my blood who knows what they'll find.
Diane: Isabel are you doing drugs or drinking? Is that what this is all about?
Isabel: No it's nothing like that. I wouldn't be able to drink anyways after what happened to Max.
Phillip: Max? What does your brother have to do with this?
Isabel: A lot more than you think. I won't go to a doctor because if I do and they run blood tests, they're going to find an abnormality.
Diane: What kind of abnormality?
Isabel: It's something the three of us inherited from our biological parents.
Phillip: You've been searching for your biological parents? If I had known I would've been able to help. I have friends that work with these kinds of situations.
Isabel: Not the kind of situation we have.
Diane: Isabel just please tell us what's going on. You're not making any sense.
Isabel: Okay, if the doctors run blood tests what they'll find is something far from human.
Phillip: So what are you saying? You have something that's... supernatural in your blood?
Isabel: Something like that although it's a little deeper than that. (Coincidently Isabel and Max both point their index fingers up.)
Diane: The three of you are from up north? (Isabel and Max raise their fingers a little higher.)
Phillip: You're not aliens, are you? (The pod squad says nothing.)
Diane: In a dream? Honey, you can't get pregnant from a dream.
Isabel: Well I can.
