Chapter 21:

5 months later:

He is almost here! I can't wait for my baby Zander to arrive. I can't wait to buy him little shirts, pants, and shoes. I can't wait to take him to the park so we can all play on the playground with our little dog, Kiki. I also what to be able to walk with Max, up the stairs, and tuck in our little boy. I know that he is going to be a great king and leader, but I am going to enjoy the time that we will have together, now.

It has been 5 months since the last time anything exciting has happened. Max's birthday is coming up, and I have no idea what to get him. I know the only thing he wants is to have a safe and healthy family. And I can't just give that to him, it is not in my hands if we are safe. I also know that Max's is worried about something, I can feel it all of the time. I first thought it was me... but know I know that it is him... he is the one that is worrying.

Isabelle and Alex have set the date... They are going to get married in April. April 25th. Isabelle and I have gotten closer together lately. She comes over to check up on me, and to ask advice about the wedding. My mother hasn't been around as much anymore. She does call a lot. I know she wants me to have our child in a hospital... but I won't allow that to happen. Not knowing all of the things that could go wrong, and everyone being exposed.

Kivar had tried to contact Max almost everyday. He keeps asking about the health of our baby. He also asks about me, but that is after he asks about my baby. I am okay with everyone asking about the health of my child, I am a little worried about it also. But at night... I am laying with Max, and he is the only one that asks me how I am. That shows me that he is worried about me, and our baby. All with equal love and attention.

I also can't help shaking the feeling that something bad is going to happen. I know I had that vision of one of my blood vessels bursting while I am giving birth, but I know that Max will be there to help me. We have made sure that he is there. He has requested the time off, of work, before hand. So, he will be home... it must be something else. I have not received anymore visions, short or long. I don't know if that is not normal.

Maria and Michael have finally moved in together. Maria graduated with her bachelor's degree, in music management. Maria moved into Michael's apartment. Max and I helped with the move. Well, it was more Max helping with the move... I just told everyone where to put things. That is the only downfall to being pregnant. I can tell that Maria and Michael are happy together. She has not called me recently complaining or crying about Michael. I also know that Max has tried to tell Michael several times to tell Maria the truth. We have also suggested it to Isabelle, but I know they are both scared about the effect of their secret getting out.

Max is currently at work. Isabelle and I are looking threw bridal magazines. Isabelle was doing all of the looking while I was playing with little Kiki.

"Oh, I love that dress." Isabelle said with wide-eyes amazement. "I think it would look great on me."

She then puts the magazine on the table, places her hand on the picture, and closes her eyes. She was concentrating on making the dress appear on her. It worked. I saw the dress appear on her, and it looked like it had been there the whole time. She had been trying on dresses almost all day, but this was the only one that looked stunning. We both know that this was the dress. She stared in the mirror, while I gawked at how beautiful she looked in that gown.

The dress was A-line, with a square neck line that looked amazing. It had about a 3 foot train, it was not to much... just enough. It was simple and elegant. It had embroidered flowers on the bodice, and the edge of the dress. She then glanced at her hands, and then the gloves appeared. The outfit was complete. That was the dress.

"That's it. There is no question." she said while she made the dress disappear.

"Yep. Now all you have to do is buy it." I said with laughter in my eyes. I then remembered we should discuss something that is in need of talking about. "Isabelle, Have you told Alex who you really are yet?"

"No, I can't seem to bring my self to telling him. I am afraid that he will not understand, and run off."

"Alex is not like..."

"I know you didn't do that with Max, but Alex is not you. He will probably think back to all of those scary alien movies, and picture me as an alien."

"He will not, I know him."

"I know you didn't run from Max because he was your soul mate or something...I am not 100 sure that Alex and I have what you and Max have."

"Do you love him?"

"Yes, of course I love him. What kind of question was that?"

"Well, then you have exactly what Max and I have. The only reason it seems that we have more is because... well, my husband is a lot hotter then your fiancé." I said while giggling.

"EW. Please do not refer to my brother as hot. I know what he looked like as a little kid, and that is not hot."

Just then, Max walked in threw the kitchen. He just arrived home. Ifelt him when he pulled into the garage.

"Hey honey. How are you?" Max asked while I got up and walked over to him to greet him.

"Fine." I said as I kissed him hello."Our little one is quite the active one. He has been non-stop all day. I hope he releases all of that energy when he makes the long travel down the birth canal. I don't think that I would be able to keep up with him outside of the my uterus.

"Okay mother-to-be. That is enough grosse pregnancy talk. I am going to go home now." Isabelle said as she gathered her magazines and headed for the door.

When the door shut, Max looked into my eyes. "Alone at last." And then kissed me deeply. Darting his tongue in and out of my mouth. The kiss was enough to ignite all of the flames that burn in my heart for him.

Max pulled away momentarily. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

I tried to put on the innocent school girl look. "I don't know what you are talking about." And Max leaned down to kiss me again.

I am glad that I am such a small person, that means that I don't get as big as other women, and that Max and I can still live healthy by not breaking our 48 hour rule. We have been together every night. It may not be entirely healthy for my pregancy, but there is no way to help that. I have been reading the pregnancy books, and they said that me should of stopped doing IT, a long time ago. It said that it brings on the birth, but I think that this is different, because our baby is different.

Max pulled away, and looked into my eyes. "Well, that was my last day for about 2 weeks. I will be glad to have those 2 weeks off. I needed it." Max said as he started rolling his head to relax the muscles in his neck.

"Oh. You poor baby." I said as I lead Max to the sofa. As max sat down, little Kiki jumped on his lap. "Would you like me to give you a massage?"

"No. I should be the one to give you a massage." He said as he started to get up.

"Well, if you insist. I badly need a back rub."

"Your wish is my command."

He sat behind me on the chair, while I sat on the stool in front of him. He put his hands under my shirt so he could take my shirt off. It all came off in one swift movement. He then placed his hands on the small of my back. That was where it hurt the most, and I think he felt my pain.

His hands were like magic on my back. He had to of used some of his powers to relax my muscles, to make the pain go away so quickly. I felt immediate relief, and moaned out in pure ecstacy. He traveled up my back and finished with my shoulders. He has the most amazing hands on this planet, and possible all of the other planets.

When he was finished with my back he got up, and helped my shirt back on. That was when I noticed that he was staring at my chest. He has never been the one to look at my that way... even when we were just dating. I crossed my arms around my self, and felt a little embarrassed.

"What are you looking at?"

"You... Is it just me, or... are you...bigger."

That was when I knew that he was looking at my chest, and that he hadn't realized that a women's chest increases in size as she is pregnant.

"Honey. Yes, I am bigger. They have to be for the baby."

"Why does the baby get special treatment. I want them to be that big all of the time." There was a glimmer of laughter in his eyes, and I started to blush. Max leaned down and kissed me. It was a deep kiss that would nock a girl's socks off.

During the kiss was when I realized that I married the greatest man in the world. He still had a passion for me even though I was as big as a house. Max was the first to pull away. He looked deep into my eyes, and snaked his hand down to rest on my extended stomach.

" If you don't want to do anything tonight, I would completely understand."

This was a major deciding moment in my life. I could feel that Max wanted me, and I knew that I wanted him. There was just something that was nagging at the back of my head. It was telling me not to do it. I also didn't think it would be healthy for the baby that this stage, and that it was probably not even humanly possible.

" I want to, but I don't think it would be possible. I am due any moment, and I just don't think that it would be wise to try..." The sound of the palm pilot went off. Kivar was trying to call him.

Max put the 'palm' on a ringer so Kivar would have to wait until Max answered it. Just so that he wouldn't disrupt us again. Max walked over and answered the call.

"Is it important?"

"Yes your majesty. It is of grave importance. On our planet, there has been a weird paranormal occurrence with our granilith. As you know the granilith belongs to the royal family, and intended to hold many jobs. One is to inform us of a birth in the family. And it does that by sending off pulses that can be heard all threw the planet. And it is pulsing right now. I called to ask if the new hire to the thrown is born yet."

"Well, that thing must be getting old because my child is not here yet. I am expecting it in the next few days."

As max said that I felt a sharp pain go threw my stomach, and that was when I knew I was going into labor. I had to scream out in pain as the pain in my stomach got stronger. It felt that I was slightly ripping in two. I felt my self falling, only to be caught by Max. I couldn't see him, but I felt his hands, and him pulling me to his body to lower me to the ground softly.

I had my eyes closed tightly, wishing for the pain to go away. I then felt a rush of some type of liquid between my legs. Then everything started to go black...

MAX:

My poor fragile wife was going into labor. I had no idea what to do. I took the classes, and everything she was experiencing was normal. But she passed out, and that would make it a lot harder to deliver the baby with her gone. The only thing I knew to do was to prep her for the delivery. I separate her legs, and bent them so there was easy access to the birth canal. I was in the process when I heard Isabelle walk in. She was saying something about forgetting something. I looked up when Isabelle walked into the room.

"Oh my god... " She said with terror in her eyes. She turned her back to me. "What are you doing. No, stupid question. I know what you are doing... I will just leave"

"Isabelle." I was angry now to think that my sister didn't know what was really happening. "Liz is in labor." I may of said that with a little to much anger, but I was panicking. "She passed out. I need your help."

Isabelle was completely turned around by then, and taking off her jacket. Max and Isabelle had a bond that they would tell... if they concentrated... how the other felt.

"I have no idea what to do. She has passed out. I don't know how to make her come to. She needs to be awake to deliver. I can't give her a sea suction. How am I going to wake her up."

"Max. Calm down. You can't do this if you are freaking out. You need to be calm. She is not going anywhere, and that baby will just have to wait until mommy is ready for it... Now." Isabelle glanced down at the carpet, and saw all of the blood. "Is there suppose to be that much blood?"

Max looked down, and knew that something else was wrong right away. There wasn't suppose to be that much blood, at all. Max also realized that she was still bleeding. Then it all hit him. "Oh My God. She is bleeding to death."

Max took charge immediately while Isabelle was still trying to comprehend what was happening. "Oh My... What do you want me to do?"

"Go get towels in the hall closet upstairs." Max said while trying to heal Liz as quickly as possible. She had a busted blood vessel, and he located it, and fixed the damage. All of this happened fast and like clock work. Max knew how to heal people.

Isabelle came back with towel, and put then on the ground next to Max. Max was trying to clean up Liz as quickly as possible. He knew that the baby needed to be taken out now. She was fully dilated. Max also had to wake her up. He knew he could use his powers for that. He gabbed her hand and concentrated hard enough. The whole world started to disappear until he was on a patio in a cabin, in the mountains.

He had a dream like this for the past few nights. It was always him and Liz in the cabin. He didn't think much about the dreams. He just thought that it had something to do with the baby coming, and the fact that he knew they wouldn't have any alone time. Liz appeared, walking from behind him. She smiled at him, and pulled him into a hug. The hug felt so real. It was exactly the way she hugged him. She would pull him into her, and hold on tightly. That was when he knew that he had to help her. This was just a dream she was in. He had to pull her out, so he doesn't lose both his unborn child, and the love of his life.

He had to let go of Liz. "Honey. This is a dream you are in. You have to get out of it. Fight your way back to the real me, so I can help you deliver our child."

"This is not a dream. This is something I made. It is our own little plane of existence. I made you get all of those dreams the past few nights. It is a way for us to be together, alone, and still get he sleep that we need. It was just a test run for what we will have to do soon. Well, very soon. I know that I left you alone there, but I also know you would be able to handle the pressure. I also know... well, not exactly knew, but close enough... that Isabelle was going to be there to help you. I wanted to get away from the pain, and I also knew that if I came here... I would stop feeling the pain, then that would stop you from feeling my pain."

"You really thought this threw."

"Well, it just sort of came to me. But I know you need me now, so we will go back to the actual world."

Then Max and Liz both opened there eyes at the same time. It was time to deliver a baby. It was going to be painful for both parties, and a little for Isabelle, (but she will only get about 500th the amount of pain that Max and Liz are actually feeling).
