Chapter 27: A new life.

"I can't believe you were pregnant in your past life and didn't tell us!" Maria exclaimed and Liz rolled her eyes.

"It was Lilly who was pregnant and Lilly never had the chance to tell anyone." Liz explained and Maria glared at her.

"Well, you knew in this lifetime." Maria stated.

"It was in another life!" Liz exclaimed. "I didn't see the point in bringing up bad memories." She groaned and placed her hand on her stomach, causing Max to panic.

"What?" Max asked.

"He just kicked me Max, it's okay." Liz promised, Max nodded but didn't calm down, how could he? It was near Liz's due date and he was nervous as hell because his son was coming out into the world.

"How are you feeling?" Isabel asked Liz and she rolled her eyes.

"Like a beached whale, I will be glad when he comes out." Liz stated and Isabel smiled.

"Bet you can't." she teased and turned to Max. "Have you talked to mom and dad yet?"

"No." Max stated shortly.

"Max…" Isabel started but he got up and moved into the kitchen.

"Leave him Isabel, he's still upset." Liz whispered and Isabel looked at her. "He feels hurt that they basically told us to give up the baby, he felt that they were asking him to abandon his child."

"They hate themselves for saying that you know." Isabel whispered and Liz nodded.

"I know and Max knows that too but he is feeling betrayed." Liz explained.

Max was looking out of the window, leaning on the counter, staring pensively at nothing. He felt arms wrap themselves around his waist and a body pressing into his back.

"They are sorry you know." She whispered.

"I know Liz, but I can't forget the way they treated you and how they told us to give the baby up." Max whispered and turned around to face her.

"I know you can't Max." Liz whispered as she looked into his dark eyes. "But you need to talk to your parents." Max looked off to the side and Liz nodded, understanding. "Just think about it, beside, they are your parents, no matter what." She kissed him gently before she walked into the living room, leaving Max alone with his thoughts.

"So what is he going to do?" Isabel asked and Liz looked at her, she knew how much Isabel hated her parents fighting with Max but it was between them.

"He doesn't know yet Isabel, and please don't push him." Liz begged and Isabel nodded.

"So, what are we going to do about Khivar?" Michael asked.

"We need to think up a plan on how to keep him away from Liz, the baby and the Granolith." Max stated from where he was leaning on the doorway at the kitchen.

"So how do we do that? I mean, Alex was the hacker of the group and there is no way of telling when someone out of space lands on earth unless they crash and it's too late." Michael explained and Max nodded in agreement.

"I know, so I think we all should just be on our guard and keep our eyes and ears open for anything that sounds like a spaceship had landed." Max explained as he walked over to Liz and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her into a hug. Liz sighed as she rested her head on his shoulder. "There's nothing much we can do except try and increase our powers and do back ground checks on any new people that may come into Roswell."

"I'll help with the background check, I'm going to ask the station if I can take up a job there, it'll be better than doing nothing at all." Jim stated and Max nodded.

"Thanks." Max stated.

"Hey, no problem, I'm with you. Keeping Liz and the baby safe is more important." Jim stated.

"What about the rest of us?" Tess asked.

"Try and get jobs, this way we have more cover over Roswell as much as we can, so this way we have access to stuff we need and if anyone new comes in, we can get on to them straight away instead of waiting for them to come to us." Max suggested.

"Sure, My mom is looking for a helper in her shop." Maria helped.

"I'll help her out, this way I have something do and I love that shop." Tess stated.

"Kyle?" Michael asked.

"I've already applied to the local mechanic, he said he'll get back to me, this way I can check out on people and I can save up money for when I go to college." Kyle stated.

"Liz, Maria and I will keep on working here. I'll see if I can get another job." Michael stated.

"And I'll keep working at the U.F.O Centre, it has a scanner and information on people, that was how I was able to find out about Hubble." Max stated.

"Okay, we got that covered, what else?" Jim asked.

"We need to make sure that the cave is going to be sealed and that means not going out to it so much anymore, we don't want people following us and getting a wind of the caves." Max stated.

"Got that, what about your parents, do you think they'll keep low?" Michael asked and Max sighed.

"I don't know." Max admitted, truthfully.

"I seriously doubt mom and dad will go that far Max." Isabel put in her doubts and Max shrugged.

"I don't know but I'm not taking any chances, do not be alone with my parents for any length of time as much as you can. I don't want them to get too suspicious and start asking questions." Max warned.

"What now?" Kyle asked.

"We'll go out to the chamber and retrieve all the stuff we have in it, we need to put the orbs, the book, the crystals, the decoding in a safe place so that if the cave does get broken into, they won't be able to use the Granolith for their own use." Max explained and everyone nodded as he or she grabbed their jackets and got into their transport, making one last journey to the cave.

"Michael, Isabel, grab the crystals and the orbs, put them in this box and place in the back of the jeep, I'll rent out a place in the bank and keep it safe there." Max explained and they nodded.

"I'll get the decoding." Liz whispered as she placed her hand on the flat panel, opening the wall to show the Granolith.

"Wow!" Kyle mused and Liz smiled.

"Amazing isn't it?" Liz asked as she walked in. Everyone walked out with the stuff he or she found around the Granolith.

"Are you sure you okay Liz?" Max asked and Liz turned to him.

"Yeah, just feel a little uneasy." Liz stated, Max walked over to her and pulled her into a hug.

"What do you mean?" Max asked and Liz shook her head.

"I don't know, I just feel like something is going to happen but I just can't put my finger on it." Liz explained; Max kissed her forehead.

"I'll be right outside if you need me." Max stated and Liz nodded as Max left her and headed outside the pod chamber where Tess and Maria were talking about their plan.

Liz walked around some more before heading out of the Granolith, she placed her hand on the panel and the panel slid shut, hiding the Granolith from the world. She walked toward the cave entrance when she felt pain shooting up her stomach, she groaned, confused. She relaxed once the pain was gone only to come back with a vengeance; the pain was double the amount it was before. She could feel the baby arching and the baby practically screaming his distress through her head.

"Oh god!" Liz screamed as she bent over, her hands clutching her stomach. Everyone came bursting through the Pod Chambers and saw her falling to the floor with a thud.

"Liz!" Max shouted as he hurried over and knelt down beside her.

"There's something wrong." Liz sobbed out through the pain coursing through her body, Max hurried and placed his hand on her stomach, a bright glow came from Liz's stomach and Max saw a flash, he saw his son and he was gasping and arching his back. Max broke out of the flash with a gasp.

"He's dying." Max gasped out and Liz broke down into tears.

"No!" Liz screamed as she clutched her stomach.

"How can that be?" Tess demanded.

"Kal said the baby could live on earth!" Maria snapped.

"Liz has been exposed to something that's making the baby sick." Max explained and everyone thought back to everything.

"The Gandarium!" Liz croaked out.

"It can't be!" Max exclaimed. "They died before you got pregnant."

"No, I met a few crystals after I became pregnant, they were purple!" Liz groaned out.

"Damn it!" Max hissed as he looked around for the papers. "Where's the hell is the decoding?" Max demanded.

"Here it is." Maria gasped out as she handed it to Max; Tess was on the phone, contacting Isabel and Michael.

"What did the crystals do?" Max asked.

"They pulsed and I felt drawn to it, I don't know why and I touched it, all of a sudden I felt this feeling course through my body." Liz explained through gasping breaths and let out a sob. "I can't lose him Max, we can't!" Liz cried out. Max kissed her forehead.

"You are not going to lose him, we are not." Max soothed as he leafed through the pages and stopped when he saw the word purple. "The purple Gandarium is designed to kill any alien that may be a threat to the royal four, they will lure the threat toward them and send a current through their body, assuring that they will poison their blood system, making it impossible to live." Max read out and Liz let out another painful cry.

"It must have thought the baby was dangerous to Liz as it's inside of her." Tess choked out, she hated seeing Liz lying on the ground in pain and losing her baby while Max was looking helpless.

"How do the hell do we save the baby then?" Maria demanded, Max couldn't read anymore, as his eyes were blurry from the tears filling his eyes.

"How come it took so long to start killing the baby? I mean, the decoding said that it would attack the threat straight away!" Tess exclaimed, confused.

"The baby is a part of Liz, not her blood, it must have taken it a while to access the baby's blood in order to attack him." Maria shot out her theory, not caring if it's correct or not.

Michael, Isabel and Kyle came bursting through the doors.

"What the hell is going on?" Michael demanded.

"The baby is dying, Liz has come into contact with something that kills your enemies, it must have thought the baby was a threat to Liz and set out to kill it." Tess hurried to explain.

Isabel gasped as she hurried over and clutched Liz's hand.

"My baby." Liz whispered out, the pain becoming more pronounced as the baby arched in more pain.

"Damn it!" Maria hissed out as she grabbed the paper from Max's hand and read it over and found it. "Oh my god!" Maria called out, causing everyone to look at her. "The Granolith can save the baby, we need the crystal thingies that Kal gave Max!" Maria exclaimed.

Max hurried over to the side of the pod and waved his hand over the panel before slamming his hand on the handprint, the panel slid open, revealing the Granolith.

The Granolith started humming as Max found the box at the side and picked it up, he pulled out the crystal and looked at Maria.

"Where?" he asked.

"At the base of the Granolith, there is a key pad, it should show up when the king goes near it." Maria read out and Max hurried over to the base, all of a sudden lights started flickering and a beeping sound was heard, the orbs started glowing and beeping while the base lit up and a whirl wind showed up on the base, Max inserted the crystal into the whirl wind and saw it get sucked up.

Soon the Granolith started beeping harder and faster as the inside seems to swirl around faster. A bright light flash out from it, filling the whole room and they heard Liz crying out.

Soon the light faded from the room and they all looked toward Liz, she was lying in the corner, her hand lying on her bare stomach, a pale blue glow was showing and everyone sighed in relief. The baby was still alive and Liz was okay. Liz opened her eyes and looked around before looking down at her hand, she felt tears of relief fill up her eyes as Max hurried over to her.

"He's okay." Liz whispered as Max took her into his arms; both of them sobbing with relief at the knowledge their son were okay.

"He's okay, he's okay." Max whispered as he rocked her backward and forward, tears still streaming from their eyes at the thought of nearly losing their baby and with relief.

Max helped Liz up and wrapped an arm around her waist, holding her close to his body as they made their way over to the entrance of the cave. Everyone followed them, wanting to go home after what happened.

They were half way down the cliff when Liz stopped suddenly, her hands going down to her stomach,

"Max." Liz whispered and everyone looked at her.

"What is it sweetie?" Max asked.

"My water just broke." Liz stated and Max's face went white with fear and excitement while everyone just groaned.

"Figures, first it's dying now it coming out of mommy." Kyle muttered.

"Okay, okay, we need to get you into the pod chambers." Max stated and Liz shook her head as she bent over.

"He's coming right now." Liz whispered as a contraction broke through.

"Damn, you must have fast delivery." Maria muttered as she and Tess helped Liz to sit down on the ground and winced as Liz clenched their hands.

"Okay, Max, sit next to her, Tess, Maria, there is a blanket in the jeep, go and get it please." Isabel ordered out as she got down on her knees and spread Liz's legs apart. "Liz, I'm going to help you get through the delivery, listen to me when I tell you to do something." Isabel stated and Liz nodded as she panted, taking deep breaths in between each contractions.

Liz threw her head back when another contraction broke through her body once more and clenched Max's hands. "Okay, the contractions are coming faster so it's time to push Liz." Isabel stated and Liz whimpered as she forced herself forward, pushing with all her might.

"Push!" Kyle shouted and Liz turned to glare at him.

"Are you asking for a death wish?" She snarled and Kyle gulped. Liz turned back to the front and screamed as she felt the head bearing down.

"The head is crowing, just one more push and that's you over!" Isabel squealed; Liz clutched Max's hand as she bent forward and the head came free. "He's out Liz, he's out!" Isabel squealed as she pulled the baby free and Maria wrapped it in a cover while Isabel severed the umbilical cord.

Max kissed Liz's forehead and stroked back her sweat soaked hair.

"He's out." He whispered and Liz smiled up at him.

"Can I see him?" she asked, Maria had handed the baby over to Tess and Tess handed the baby to Liz.

Liz took the baby into her arms and smiled at him.

"Hi sweetie." Liz whispered as he opened his eyes and she looked into dark blue eyes of a newborn.

"Are his eyes supposed to be blue?" Michael asked.

"Yeah, every baby's eyes are blue once they are born, they will go to their natural colour once they get older." Tess explained.

"Hi Alexander Maxwell Evans." Liz greeted and Max kissed her forehead, he handed his forefinger to Zan and Zan clutched on to it, a bright light formed around the group and shot up into the night filled sky as a small light formed on Zan's forehead, it formed it self into the V shape and Liz smiled. "You are our little prince aren't you?"

"What's happening?" Kyle asked.

"Max and Zan have now got a bond, and Antar has recognized Zan as Max's heir." Liz explained then smiled down at Zan. "We are looking at a new beginning." She whispered and everyone smiled as he or she looked at the new arrival.

The end!

Damn, I hate writing stories that has to end, man but never fear, New Gal season three is coming up soon and expect trouble along the way now they have Zan. Oh by the way, Alex's death is not what it seems okay. You will find out more about it in the next season. Hee hee. Can't wait.

Thank you so much for reading this story and the last season and thank you so much for the reviews, you all gave me inspirations. BTW the next season will not be as long as this one, I want to do all the main points and there will be some parts that we never saw on TV, just some fun as Zan is added to the mix.
