Chapter 22
Everyone walked into Serena's and Ava's hotel room. Max and Liz sit on the bed while the rest
of them sit on the floor and Kyle sits on the chair in the room pulling Ava down to sit on his lap.
"Okay so what happened out there, is Nicholas dead, or what", asked Liz. "No he is on his
way to Antar we couldn't get to him on time", said Serena. "I know that bitch got away too, she
pulled my hair", said Maria. Everyone laughed at Maria. Only Maria would care about her hair.
"Rath and Lonnie are dead though, I killed them", said a sullen Zan. "Hey we both did, if we
didn't they would have killed us", said Serena, soothing him by run her hands up and down his
back. "I know it still doesn't make me feel any less guilty, duke she was my sister and he was
my friend at least for a while.', said Zan. "I know how you feel, like when I killed Pierce I know
it was the right thing to do, but it didn't make me feel any better, it takes time you know', said
Michael. Zan nodded his head. Serena kissed his forehead again and whispered, "I'll be there
for you when you need me okay". Zan nodded his head again. "Alright so, we need to discuss
about you guys I mean Serena, Ava, and you Zan are you guys staying in Roswell with us?",
asked Max. He didn't want them to leave he wanted to get to know Ava and Serena and he
wanted to hang with his brother. "I'm not leavin, my home is here with you guys and wit Kyle",
said a determined Ava. Kyle hugged her after saying that. He was afraid that she was going to
leave and that he was going to lose her. Everyone turned to look at Zan and Serena and Zan
spoke up, "I mean if you want me here I'll stay here, sides I want to get to know you guys you
know since you are my only family, plus I think you gonna need all the help fighting Kivar and
that punk", said Zan. "Hey I already called my mom and got me registered at West Roswell
High, you stuck with me", said Serena smiling. "Oh I got some news also, its for Liz actually",
said Serena. "Oh what is it?", said Liz. "I know you want to be a micro biologist, I have know
idea how I know that but anyway my mom works for the board of education and I made her
make a couple of calls on your behalf anyway she got you a job interview with this big shot
micro biologist at the University of new Mexico and the starting salary is 30,000 dollars all you
have to do is pass the interview but I know you will do great', said Serena. Liz eyes widen and
screamed and ran and hugged Serena. 'Are you serious? I get to have this job? Oh my god,
really, thank you thank you", said Liz kissing Serena on her cheeks. Serena laughed and so did
everyone else. Liz got back up and hugged Max. Max smiled at her and smiled at Serena for
making Liz so happy. 'Well I figured since you were going to have a child you might need some
income you know, the interview is next week Thursday at 1:00 pm at the school. I don't know
what you going to be doing but whatever", said Serena. "Oh my god, I'm having a baby, what
am I going to tell my parents", said Liz. "Well you can tell them now but then you have to tell
them about Max being an alien or you can tell them in about 1 and half when the baby comes",
said Serena. "A year and a half, Tess said that Antarian births last only a month', said Max.
"Yeah they do, but even though that Liz is changing she hasn't changed completely yet, so that
change has to happen first, it will take a while, so you have time to tell your parents", said
Serena. Max and Liz breathed a sigh of relief. 'Alright what about me I mean me and Max are
somewhat identical, twins even how are you going to explain what I'm doing here all of the
sudden and what about Ava?", asked Zan. "I got an idea, since Tess is gone Ava just can take
her place, we will say that she finally found her real parents but they live far and that she will
continue to live with me but hse wants to change her name to what her biological parents named
her when she was born, Ava", said Kyle. "What about Zan", asked Alex. "I know what to do,
we are going to tell my parents the truth so that Zan can live with us", said Max. Everyone
looked at him in surprise. Max was the one that always was scared to tell his parents. Isabel
looked at him with hope in her eyes. "Yeah we are telling our parents about me, Isabel, and
Zan. I mean we don't have to tell them about you Michael or Ava if you don't want but I think
they deserve to know the truth", said Max. He was scared he hated to admit that but he wanted
Zan with him and that is the only way to do it without his father not going to find their "birth"
parents that abandoned them. "You want me to stay with you, I mean they are your family I
don't want to be some third wheel you know", said Zan. "What are you talking about you are
our family too, you are my brother and you belong with us, you wouldn't be imposing or
nothing, my parents will love you like they love us", said Isabel. She knew they would, her
mother wouldn't need any convincing at all she loved her and Max and she would love Zan too.
"Well if it doesn't work out I mean, my good for nothing father did something right, I called him
and with his big shot money brought me a house with 5 rooms to live in while I'm staying in
Roswell its not too far from here", said Serena. "You get your own house?", asked Kyle. "Yup,
and Michael I want you to live with me I mean I will be living there all alone and it got 5 rooms,
all you got to pay for is the cable bill, so what do you say?', asked Serena. She looked at him
with hope in her eyes. She wanted to be with her brother and she knew he lived alone. "I want
get in your way I promise, it's a big house anyway, you get your own room and everything',
said Serena pleading just a little bit. Michael looked at her and smiled, 'Sure why not, its better
then paying all the rent at my apartment anyway", said Michael. Serena got up and hugged him
and said, "Great you won't regret it I promise". "Ava is it alright with you that you would be
taking over Tess's life you know", said Liz. "Yeah I mean is easier then answering hard
questions besides Kyle is right, I could just say I'm changing my name", said Ava. "Plus I get to
live with Kyle, oh the possibilities", said a grinning Ava. Kyle actually blushed at that. Everyone
laughed. "Alright what else do we need to discuss", said Max taking back the meeting. 'max
you could tell your parents about me if you want to be completely honest with them you know",
said Michael. Max was shocked at this, Michael was never one to let people into this secret like
that. "Alright, I know what about this Kivar problem and that bithc Nicholas and the other bitch
Tess?", asked a concerned Maria. "I don't know I guess we act like we have always acted you
know hiding in plain sight", said Max. "We could work on our powers too, there is this big gym
thing in the house that my dad brought we could practice there you know", suggested Serena.
"That's a good idea, I'm going to need more help in this mind warping and any other powers
that Tess had", said Maria. Michael smiled at that, he always thought that Maria would be
freaked out but she just surprised him at her determination to learn. "Alright what about school
for Zan, cuz you are going", said Serena. "Oh man do I have to", whined Zan. "Yeah you do",
said Serena. "Well we will get him registered in our school and tell the school that we found him
in our search for our birth parents and that he is my twin for obvious reasons and can we get
your mother to make transcripts from a school or something to send over", asked Max. "Well
my mom can't but my dad can, we will use is alien hocus pocus and get him a school record
and everything, I'll call him", said Serena walking up to the phone dialing her father's number.
Her father answered on the second ring "What do you want Serena?", answered a gruff Kal
Langley. "Nice to hear from you too, dad, I need a favor", said Serena. "Don't you always?",
said Langley in a sarcastic tone. "Look jerk, I'm need you to listen alright, Zan needs transcripts
for school and I know you could get them, he is staying in Roswell with us and he needs them to
be a senior at Roswell High ALRIGHT", yelled Serena. Everyone turned around to look at
Serena. They could tell she was angry little bits of light were shooting from her hands. "Alright
calm down, I'll get them for you, he will be registered by the end of the week, okay", said
Langley who passed his hands over his eyes. He didn't understand why he treated his daughter
like this but he couldn't stop. He loved her but he didn't know how to express it. He was a
shape shifter for god's sakes what did she want from him. Serena felt his feelings with her
empathic abilities. She calmed down a bit but was still mad. "Thank you, dad, I'll call you soon,
bye", said Serena. Kal hung up without saying good-bye. She felt tears come to her eyes. Why
didn't he ever act like a father to her she wondered. She turned around and looked at everyone
they were all trying not to show their sorrow for her but she could feel it. "I'm alright and the
papers should be at West Roswell by the end of the week", said Serena. Zan got up and
walked over to her and hugged her he understood. He remembered how Kal used to treat
Serena and her mom when they were living in New York. Serena hugged him tightly against her
and sighed. She knew he would understand. "Anyway, He is usually rough around the edges but
he will get it done don't worry", said Serena. "Alright is that all?", asked Max. "Yeah I think
that should be it", said Michael. He could feel his sister's pain he didn't understand why. "Wait
actually Serena I can feel you now, will Alex, Ava, and Liz feel me eventually too?", asked
Michael. "Yeah actually all of us in the room should feel each other if we concentrate or the
feelings are strong enough, since we did the whole giving each other our memories thing", said
Serena. "What about me I wasn't there", asked Zan. "But you was, that's why I was feel pain, I
was feeling your pain, for some reason we are connected Zan, so that means that you should be
connected with everyone in this room also", said Serena. "That was you? I swear I thought I
was losing my mind, I thought I heard Max's voice also", said Zan. "You did, bro, I connected
with Serena to heal her to heal you since you are connected and I sent a message saying I was
coming", said Max. "You guys were healing me right, because I would feel this relief after what
Rath and Vilondra would do to me", said Zan. "Yeah, Isabel too sent you some healing bro, we
family we got to watch each others backs you know" said Max. Zan nodded his head for some
reason he was unable to speak. He had a family who loved him and a girl. Speaking of his girl
what was she going to do about this Brian person he wondered. He will have to talk to her
about that later. "Alright let's go home Zan, let's us introduce you to our parents", said Max
giving Zan his hand lifting him up off the bed. "Alright, let's roll, I need something to eat, why
don't you guys meet us later at the Crash down so we can get some food, I'm starving, come
on Ava, let's go meet my dad", said Kyle. "What time are we meeting at the Crashdown?",
asked Liz. "Well, its' two now, how about 6 o clock or something?", said Max. Everyone
nodded their heads and started walking out. Serena stayed behind and said, "Ava you riding
with Kyle right, you have to come pick me up later then". "Hey why don't you come with us,
You can hang out with me if you want", said Liz. "Alright sure, I'll call me mom and get her to
tell me more about your new job", said Serena. Serena looked at the room one more time when
she heard Kyle arguing for the right to drive her jeep and she smiled.
