Chapter 6:
Serena turned around and got her back pack that was laying on the ground.
She pulled out a large yellow envelope and an orb that looked a lot like
the orb that Liz and Max found in the desert. "Hey where did you get that
orb?," asked Liz. "You gave it to me. We record some family moments on it.
We figured out how it works so that it doesn't sned out a signal and
instead of video we use this instead to record home movies. Its pretty cool
actually", said Serena. "Yeah that is what's on it," asked Max. "Hold up
let me get the pictures out that Liz organized for me. She put each group
picture in one small envelope and then separted the rest into family
photos. Liz here's yours and Max's. Isabel's here's yours," said Serena
pulling out envelops. "Man Liz I knew your were anal compulsive, this just
proves it," said Kyle. "Shut up Kyle," said Serena and Liz at the same
time. They looked at each other and started laughing. Serena gave everyone
their envelops and kept the one with the group pictures in it. "Here is one
we all took about 7 months ago", said Serena. It had everyone and a very
pregnant Isabel with Jessie wrapping an arm around her stomach. Liz was
holding her daughter Claudia's hand standing next to Max who was standing
next to Xan that had his head leaning against his father's shoulders. Next
to Xan was Maria and Michael who had his daughter in his arms. Next to
Michael stood a pregnant Ava and Kyle wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
Next to Kyle was Serena and Brian and their 13 year daughter was leaning
against her mother with a shy smile. "Oh this is so nice", stated Maria.
"Look at that that's a smile on Guiern's face, what I shocker," stated Kyle
laughing. "That's my daughter right, what's her name," asked Liz pointing
at the beautiful dark haired girl. "Her name is Claudia, you said you named
her after you grandmother. "Max look at her she is so pretty, look at Xan
he looks just like you Max, his beautiful," gushed Liz. "Yeah he got those
ears, you could have spared him you know, both of them have it," joked
Maria. Max's ears turned bright red after she said that and everyone
laughed. "Whose that man with his arms around me is that my husband?",
asked Isabel. "Yeah his name is Jessie and he knows about you guys and
still accepts it." Said Serena. "Damn Serena you man looks good", said
Maria. "hey", replied Michael. "You know I love spaceboy, nothing to worry
about.". "Thanks", said a blushing Serena. "Michael look our daughter is so
beautiful, Thank you.", said a tearful Maria. "You can open you envelops
now", said Serena. Everyone opened it. The each got pictures of their
weddings, their children in each year of their life, school plays, going to
the beach, and finally a family photo. "My god we looked so happy," said
Liz. "We were that's why I came back I can't let any one of you die, you're
my family, I love you guys. I love hanging out at the Crashdown after work
and joking around, having girl's night out and singing to our kids, yelling
at our kids too.", said Serena. She began to get depressed again and didn't
want to go there so she decided to show the holograms. "Hey what do we do,
job wise in the future?," asked Liz. "Oh you are currently getting you PH.d
in Microbiology at the University of New Mexico. Max you are a doctor doing
residency, Isabel is a social worker, Kyle you are a deputy, Maria you
teach music at West Roswell High, Michael you opened your own club called
the Crashdown After Dark and you sell paintings, I'm also a doctor like
Max, Jessie is a lawyer at your dad's law firm Isabel that's how you met
them, Ava is your business partner in the club, and my husband went back to
law school and also works at your dad's law firm", said Serena. When she
mention her husband's name her hand went to her stomach. She thought he
never got to know that I'm pregnant. He was killed before I got the chance.
Its not fair. Everyone noticed how quiet Serena got. Liz said, "Serena, we
are going to get them back, I won't let my happiness die and you shouldn't
neither". "oh aint this a hallmark moment", sneered Tess. "I can't believe
that you actually believe that you could win, Hey Kyle you must have loved
me due to the fact that you got my clone pregnant", laughed Tess. "Shut up,
all I feel for you is pity. When we are done you will be childless and
powerless and we are going to send you to your home that way, I wonder what
Kivar would think of that when we sees you, do you think he will be
forgiving?", asked Kyle. That shut Tess up real quick. "Can I ask you
something Serena, how come I only have pictures of Xan when he looked to be
about 3 years old and not any before?", asked Max. Liz thought that was
strange too. "Yeah you gave him up for adoption because the FBI was all
over you guys it wasn't safe, Xan is human atleast on paper, he doesn't
have abnormal blood but he is just a more evolved human. You thought it was
better for him to live a normal life, so you got you father to find a good
home for him. You told me that was one of the hardest things you had to do
besides letting Liz go that day you learned about you supposed destiny.
Look to tell you the truth it was the best choice, I raised a kid on the
run and its not cool, I can't count how many times the shoot at Cameron. As
a mother that is one of the scariest things I ever had to see", stated
Serena. "If I gave him up how come he is with us now", asked Max. He was
still reeling form the fact that he made that decision to give up his son
but what Serena said made sense He couldn't live with himself if something
would have happen to Xan. "Oh yeah, you see he was living with his adoptive
parents for about two years you guys were already on the run then, one day
Liz told me that she got a vision to Xan and his adoptive parents were
going to be in a car crash, you guys raced to get there but by the time you
reached them the car had flipped numerous times, thankfully Xan was
unharmed, till this day Liz says she had now idea how Xan escaped harm. You
guys took him in after that you took everything that belonged to Xan in the
car and called the police with a tip saying that there was a car that ran
off the road. The bodies were burned beyond recognishing so Maria sang a
prayer for the repose of their souls" said Serena. "Wow, man they didn't
deserve to die that way", said Liz. "I know maybe now they won't", said
Serena.
