Chapter 68:
Thanksgiving was here and everyone was feeling anxiety but they kept it cool. Kal made arrangements for them to go to New York the next day together and convinced the parents. The Evans knew why they were going and so did Jim. Diane Evans was scared for her kids but she knew that Max and the others had to do this. Meanwhile the calendar was a huge success. Liz arranged the advertising and they presented the end result to their economics class.
"We knew that it would be in great demand and our product has been shown to be successful, women as well as men have brought the calendar and we have shown that this little product can be a successful product", said Liz smiling.
The teacher nodded his head. He saw the profits and all the reports.
"I agree you get an A, ladies good job", said Mr. Colemen.
Serena and Liz squealed and went to their seats. Mr. Colemen hardly ever gave great grades so this was amazing.
"I also got an A in my photograpy class", said Serena at lunch that afternoon.
Zan smiled at her and kissing her head.
"Man when the teacher gave us an A was shocked, I hardly get A's", said Maria.
She was excited.
"My parents are coming down, everyone coming to my house right?", asked Serena.
"Yeah mom is going to be cooking and brig everything over", said Ava.
She loved calling Amy mom.
"My mom too, this Thanksgiving is going to be great", said Isabel.
Last year was bad because Max had left for the Summit. God this damn Summit meeting she didn't like the idea of any of them going but she knew they had to.
"Football hear we come", said Kyle.
"Yeah you can watch football but don't be too loud, me and your mothers are going to be doing some serious cooking", said Serena.
"You making that potato thing right", said Max getting excited.
He loved that meal.
"For you yes my dear brother in law", said Serena hugging him.
Liz smiled at that. She loved how they got along. Serena was good for all of them. Isabel smiled too. Her brother was more relaxed now it was like the world used to be on his shoulders and now it was like the weight has been lifted off. She hated to think of this Summit Meeting. She didn't want to be involved in anything related to Kivar. She knew he was still out their and they would have to fight with him, probably around the time Liz gives birth most likely.
Thanksgiving Day:
"Man look at your man right there is messing up the game", yelled Kyle to the screen.
They were all sitting in the living room at Serena's house watching football with their fathers. Jeff Parker just laughed. He liked being here. Liz had a good group of friends. He didn't want her going on this trip tomorrow but he knew that checking out Harvard and Kal Serena's dad paying for it was a great opportunity. Kal game up with the idea of visiting colleges so they could all go together since they were all going to Boston for school anyway.
"I'm hungry", said Max getting up to go into the kitchen.
"Mom is going to kick him out of there, she already did that to me", said Michael.
Zan nodded his head too.
"Maxwell Phillip Evans get out of this kitchen", said Diane Evans pushing her son out.
"But mom", whined Max.
Liz just giggled at his expression. She was sitting in the kitchen stirring something in a bowl. Serena smiled and winked at him. Max went back to sit down and pouted. Michael laughed at him.
"Aww poor baby", said Serena walking out f the kitchen with a small package.
She looked into the kitchen to see if anyone was looking.
"Here eat fast, don't tell no body", said Serena kissing Zan's cheeks opening the foil package.
Max's eyes widen.
"The potato thing", said Max.
Serena smiled at his excitement. Serena laughed and walked into the kitchen. Max looked like a little boy at Christmas when Liz walked out and smiled at him and her father. They were happy and this Summit meeting might end that. She sighed at that, they had to get through it they just had to.
"Alright everyone into the dining room", said Kim walking into the dining room to set some food out on the table.
They had set up two large tables, one for the parents and one for the kids.
"Mommy, help", laughed Peter while Michael tickled him.
"Michael give me my son", said Kim.
Peter hugged his mom and laughed. His hair was growing back and he had dark black hair and looked so happy. Kal came and got him and kissed his forehead.
"Daddy Michael is so cool", said Peter with a big dimpled smile.
"Hear that Maria I'm cool", said Michael.
"Yeah in the opinion of a five year old", said Maria.
Michael glared and Amy smiled at him.
"You will never win", said Amy hugging him.
"Yeah whatever", said Michael walking her into the dining room.
Everyone took their seats.
"Alright we should say a prayer", said Phillip.
"Well who should do it?", asked Isabel from her seat next to Alex.
"I will", said Max surprising them all.
He really wasn't a religious person but he wanted to do this.
"Umm not good at this but I'm going to give it a shot", said Max taking Liz's hand.
Everyone joined hands and bowed their heads.
"I am thankful for a lot of things this year, I have a healthy family a beautiful fiancé and a great sense of self. I have always been scared of been who am but I learned this year that everyone in this room loves me and wants to protect me like I love them and want to protect them. I'm thankful for all I have and all that was given to me. I am happy truly happy and to tell you the truth there must be a God because he made me believe that miracles happen, He or She is there for me and I want to thank who ever is up there for giving me everything that I ever wanted or needed. Thank you God. Amen", said Max.
"Amen", said everyone else sitting down and started to eat.
Liz smiled at him and said "I believe in you".
Max smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Pass the food", said Michael.
Maria rolled her eyes.
"Michael!", said Maria.
Peter giggled. He loved be around them they were fun.
"Little brother what is so funny", said Serena tickling Peter under his arm.
"Serena stop, stop", said Peter laughing loudly.
They all sat down and talked and laughed it was a great Thanksgiving.
Next Morning:
"Man I'm tired, this flight is too early", said Isabel leaning her head on Alex's shoulders.
They got there at 6 in the morning to catch their 7 o clock flight. Liz nodded her head and curled into Max's lap. He stroked her hair and stomach. Her son was making her sick this morning. He had morning really badly. He was afraid to let her fly but Liz insisted that she be there. Serena sat with her father and Zan.
"Dad do you think it's a good idea going to this thing", asked Serena.
"I don't know, I mean Kivar is not there but I just don't know", said Kal.
Serena sighed and Zan rubbed her back.
"It will be fine, we are all there together, we have to be there for Max so don't panic", said Zan.
Serena nodded her head. Her mother had stayed in Roswell and was going to fly home later to LA. Ava was sleeping in Kyle's arms, she was not a morning person. He knew she was scared. He was whimpering in her sleep. Kyle shook her and she shot awake.
"What's wrong Ava?", asked Kyle.
"I don't know I can't remember, I hope this thing goes away", said Ava.
Maria was sitting on Michael's lap while he rubbed her stomach. She found it soothing.
"Michael I'm worried", said Maria.
Michael nodded his head in agreement.
"We will be fine I won't let anything happen to any one of you", said Michael.
"Flight 345 now boarding, Flight 345 to New York, now boarding", said the announcer.
The gang got up and walked to give their tickets.
"I hate flying", said Isabel.
"Its kind of ironic", said Maria laughing.
"That's why I hate flying, crashing is not cool", said Isabel.
They all took their seats and waited. They all sat somewhat next to one another. Max sat with Liz and some guy next to them. Across them were Zan, Serena, and Kal. Behind him were Michael and Maria, and Ava and Kyle with Alex and Isabel behind them. Liz looked out of window and prayed to god to keep them safe.
They landed in New York and went sight seeing. They ate lunch and went to Serena, Zan, and Ava's old hangouts.
"Duch", yelled Serena spotting her friend.
Duch looked up and smiled at his friend.
"Oh shit what up, Rena, hey Ava, Zna I thought you were dead", said Duch looking confused.
"I'm fine yo, what the deal?", asked Zan getting back into his New York accent.
"Yo chilling miss you guys as the club been a while and shit Rath Lonnie what up", said Duch spotting Isabel and Michael and thinking that they were Lonnie Rath.
Isabel smiled and feel into a New York accent, "chilling we been living in Roswell yo, you know we went to find Max here Zan's twin that's why we not in N Y", said Isabel trying to convince Duch.
"True I feel that", said Duch.
"Yo I got to go, Brooklyn calls me" said Duch going down the subway entrance.
"Ewww Brooklyn", said Ava smirking.
"Hey I used to live in Brooklyn don't hate on my borough", said Serena glaring at them.
New York City people were very territorial.
"Yeah and we still hung out with you", said Zan smiling.
He did miss New York but he loved his home in Roswell better. Zan the group began to walk and Zan stopped making Serena walk into his back. The color drained from his face. He kept staring out in the street.
"Zan what is it?", asked Maria seeing him look sick.
Ava gasped and started shacking.
"God what is it?", asked Michael.
"This is where Rath and Lonnie, God", said Ava holding onto Kyle.
Serena hugged Zan who clung to her. Liz looked sick to. She ran into a restaurant and ran to their bathroom. The morning sickness was getting worse. Max went after her and helped her hold her hair from her face.
"God Max this kid is making my stomach sick", said Liz as she rinsed out her mouth.
"I'm sorry", said Max not knowing what else to say.
Liz smiled at him and said, "It's not that bad, so he likes to make mommy a little sick its not so bad", said Liz walking out of the restaurant after thanking the waitress for letting her go to the bathroom there.
They went back to their hotel room and sat down waiting for the meeting. Kal saw that they were nervous.
"Everyone calm down it will be fine", sad Kal trying to reassure them. At 7:30 they all stood up and walked to the warehouse that would hold their meeting.
The four other planet's representatives were at attendance and Max took his seat at the head of the table once again. Liz stood behind him and the others stood behind Max.
"Well King Zan we meet again", said Larek in the Brody's body.
Maria almost had a heart attack after seeing him, then she remembered about Max told them that she calm down. Michael looked at this people that were puppets and cringed it was just weird that they could possess these people.
"Larek", said Max.
Larek smiled and said, "Alright you proably wondering why we called this meeting, it's really simple really, we found out all that has happened between Queen Ava's betrayal", said Larek but Serena interrupted him, "She was never queen I made sure of that".
Zan held her hand tightly. He knew that Serena hated these people, the Council because they didn't listen to her when she told them that Ava would get them killed.
"Who are you?", asked the representative from one of the planets.
"I used to be Callie", said Serena in a clear voice which made the others on the table gasp.
Serena's eyes changed colors to express her anger and the other representatives looked scared.
"What you thought that I wouldn't come here with King Zan, you out of your mind", said Serena trying really hard to hold onto her anger.
"I was your boss and yet none of you listen to me, and I heard about the last meeting where you preceded to blame King Zan for your shit mistakes, the reason why many Antarians and people from each of the planets are dying was because you trusted that bitch of a queen and Kivar himself", said Serena.
The gang gasped at this.
"Yeah I remember clearly now, Zan hated Kivar and he tried convincing you of that but you didn't listen and got us killed what was worse was that you forced him to marry that bitch, that nasty bitch that got us killed", yelled Serena.
The other representatives looked shameful except for Larek.
"Callie calm down please", said Larek.
"Why should I you could have died too, because of these morons, they knew that Max wouldn't remember so they feed him lies about this being his fault, he was a great King he was out Kind Larek", said Serena.
Larek nodded his head and sighed. Max looked at Serena and smiled at her. She came up to him and knelled in front of him.
"You are my king Max you always were, you are our king, I always respected you, you were a great King", said Serena.
"And you will be a great Queen, the right Queen", said Serena looking at Liz.
"Queen Amelia", said Serena smiling.
The other representatives looked on at Callie, they knew she was a spitfire.
"He is your king too, you should respect him and not have listen to Kivar, this is your fault not King Zan's", said Liz.
She was angry too. The group moved closer behind Max and showed the rest of the representatives that they were stronger together and no one was to mess with on of them or they would mess with all of them.
"Look King Zan Kivar is not in power and Larek has been taking charge of your planet, but we know that he is not dead, your mother told us that there is a prophecy that they heir will be the one to destroy Kivar and we wanted to know if that were true?", asked one of the representatives.
"Look I know about the prophecy and I am well aware that my son will have to fight, but what is it that you really won't what is this meeting really about?", asked Max.
He knew it was something else.
"We want to know about the heir", said the representative closest to Max.
"What about him?", asked Maria.
She was tired of this shit.
"Why do you care about Max's child, you didn't care about them before,", said Maria.
She got vision from the past. These were the people who blamed her of selling secrets.
"Who are you?", asked the female representative.
"You remember Layla don't you?", asked Serena.
That got their attention once again. Serena pointed to everyone.
"Rath, Angelina, Xavier, Khalil, Cameron, Vienna, and last but not least your queen Amelia", said Serena pointing to each individual person.
"How is this possible?", asked the male representative closest to Larek.
"My mother made sure they were with us the right way", said Max making Liz come to sit on his lap.
Liz smiled.
"Meet your queen your true Queen Amelia, or rather Elizabeth now", said Ava smiling at her sister.
"Fine Larek will take my place and rule, I trust him with my throne, but if you need help you can contact me", said Max with the air of a leader.
"Tell us what you have found about Kivar", said Alex.
They began talking and didn't notice a blond man with a evil smile on his face smirking.
"I'll come for your girl and son", said Kivar smirking.
"They will die", said Kivar to himself.
Everyone gasped and Max stood up holding on to Liz.
"What?", asked Larek.
"Kivar", said Max looking at his family.
They all felt him.
