This is the final chapter, but there will be a sequel soon! I promise!

I was scared at first. I thought about all the bad things. How my mother would feel. How MICHEAL would feel. But then I looked at the good things. Micheal was the father of my child. He was never going to leave me, told me so himself. I'd be with the one person I love more than anything forever.

Isabel seemed unsure about it. I realised she was probably scared because this would be the first child between an alien and a human. This made me even more scared. I didn't want to tell Micheal, for fear of his reaction, but I knew I had to. It was his child, too, and I couldn't hold that information from him.

Iz drove me back up there when I knew his shift was over so I could drive him home, like I promised earlier that day. We walked inside and they were already cleaning up the place. I started to help, trying to make it go by quicker, but was yelled at by everyone, including Isabel, so I sat down muttering to myself about stupid best friends and alien boyfriends.

Once they finished, Micheal came to sit with me. I was jumpy and didn't know what to say to him. I was afraid that I would just scream out, 'I'm pregnant!' and he would run away so I let him do most of the talking.

"Feeling better?" He asked putting an arm around me and pulling me close.

"Yeah, I do," 'now that I know what's wrong with me' I finished silently in my head.

"Did you rest, or do I have to punish you?" Micheal joked and I gave a small smile and he became concerned. "Ri, this isn't like you. I never do all the talking. And I've never seen your smile that small. What's wrong, baby?" Micheal asked, concerned.

"We need to talk, Micheal, but not here. Can we go to your apartment?" I asked.

"Sure, baby. C'mon, let's go now," He said leading me out, telling everyone good night. Isabel gave me a thumbs up for good luck as I left.

I was shaking I was so scared. Micheal figured I was cold and gave me his jacket. We sat on his couch facing each other, but I couldn't bring myself to look him in the eyes.

"Please tell me this isn't like the last time you said 'we have to talk' and you end up breaking up with me," Micheal said, the hurt evident in his voice. My head shot up, suprised at first that he would think that, but then I realised he'd never really had a relationship like ours before.

I grabbed his face and kissed him passionately, getting a full response out of him. When I pulled back I gave him the answer he was hoping for, "Breaking up with you is the farthest thing from my mind, Micheal," I said shaking him slightly, "We're in this for the long run now, your stuck with me," I joked, but in all honesty, I was telling him the truth.

"Okay, just making sure," He said and kissed me again softly. "What did you want to talk about then, Ria?"

"Well, um, I, uh. I figured out why I fainted," I said and when he just nodded for me to continue, I took a deep breath and went into another one of my rambles. "wellwhenIsabeltookmehomeshetookmetothestoreandIgottestsandIfoundoutI'mpregnant!"

"Wow. Okay, start again, from the beginning. All I got was 'I figured out why I fainted', then I lost you after that," He said looking at me intently.

"I said, I'm pregnant," I said softly, but I knew he heard me.

Micheal didn't say anything for a long time and I didn't look at him. After what seemed like forever, he lifted my face and we both discovered the other crying. He pulled me in to a tight hug and I clung to him. We were sobbing like babies.

We parted after a while and wiped each other's tears. Micheal was the first to speak. "Wow. I never would have guessed that that was what you wanted to tell me," Micheal smiled, "But I'm glad that was the topic."

I gave him a huge smile, "Really, Micheal?"

"Really, Maria. Now we can never be seperated. And I finally get the family I've been waiting for my whole life," He replied and I crushed him to me.

I pulled back and kissed all over his face; his cheeks, forehead, nose, and finally his lips where I lingered the longest. "I'm glad I get to be a part of the family that you've always wanted," I said and I kissed him again.

FINISHED! Look out for a sequel about having the baby and how Maria's mom and the rest of the gang react!
