"Serena my dad is on the phone for you", siad Zan handing her the telephone.
"Hey Dad, what's up?", asked Serena.
She called Phillip Dad now on his insistance since she was going to be his daughter in law anyway. Maria and Liz got that invitation also.
"Yeah Rena it's about the settlment with the Caravans they decided that they would go to court, they didn't want to settle", said Phillip in a tired voice.
Serena clutched the phone.
"Are you serious", asked Serena.
"Yeah unfortunately, you have to come to court dates, I told them about you living in Boston and they said that you had to only appear in court twice. Once before the Thanksgiving break and once before the Christmas break", said Phillip.
"God they know something Dad why else wouldn't they want the settlement?", asked Serena.
"I don't know Rena, you know I'm going to fight them as hard as i can, don't worry", said Phillip.
They talked a little bit more and then hung up. Zan looked at her and with no words hugged her closely.
"What about out wedding?", asked Serena.
They had decided to get maried on Christmas Day in New York, in a church in Manhatten that Serena was baptized in and that church was the church she prayed that she woulld find Zan again.
"We are getting married now matter what", siad Zan hugging her.
"Let's get you something to eat", said Zan.
"Can't hold down food what saltines", siad Serena pouting.
Zan nodded his head and lead her to the kitchen. Isabel was doing her homework and so was Alex at the kitchen table. Serena sat down.
"What's wrong?", asked Alex after seeing Serena's face.
Serena told them about the phone call.
"Rena it will be fine, dad will take care of it", siad Isabel.
Serena nodded her head and ate her saltines and gingerale. Kyle walked in then from class.
"Man that forensics class is hard", said Kyle.
He was taking a full course load this semester as well. They didn't know what would happen so they wanted to get as much college courses out of the way.
"You passing though, how was the test today?", asked Zan.
"It was cool thanks to Max, Liz, and Serena the science whizes here", answered Kyle.
"Thanks", said Kyle.
"No problem, it was mostly Liz though she is more into the bio which helps more", said Serena.
"Well you great at Chemistry which helps too", answered Kyle.
Zan was a political science major as well as working as a paralegal in a law office downtown Boston. Alex was all about the computers he already had a job fixing computers in the school. Ava walked in then with her bok bag over flowing with her accounting books. She was a doouble major, accounting and business. Math was Ava's thing mainly. She sat down with a sigh.
"Tired?", asked Zan.
"Yeah think these classes are hard especially the accounting classes", said Ava.
SHe wanted to get the accountant classes over with so she could get a job at the law firm that Zan was working for. She needed a better paying job. Kyle came up to her and kissed her forehead making her sigh.
"I made some food want some?", asked Serena.
Ava nodded her head. Zan got up and got Ava a plate. Ava dug in the rice and chicken that Serena made and sighed.
"How are you psychology classes going Iz", asked Kyle.
"Its cool I love it actually and my job at the daycare in the school", said Isabel.
She wanted to be a child Psychologist.
"Hey guys", said Maria walking into the kitchen and taking a seat next to Ava.
Zan got up and got her a plate of food which she smiled at when he set it in front of her. Maria got a job at a music school teaching kids how to play the guitar. It wasn't the best paying job in the world but it was amazing. She also had a second job singing at the club that Ava worked for. Ava had acutally gotten her that job.
"Where's Michael?", asked Isabel.
"He is at home in one of his painting moods, he was on a painting rampage because his opening debut is next week and he needs one more painting to finish his collection", siad Maria.
"You all are going right?", asked Maria.
"Yup I wouldn't miss it for the world", said Serena.
Everyone else nodded thier heads and continued with their homework and conversations.
"Today I'm passing you back your tests, some did very well some not so much, use office hours", siad Professor Welsh.
Liz looked at her paper and smiled A- in red on the top. She collected her books and walked out of the classroom to meet up with Max, Zan, and Serena for lunch. She spotted her husband and smiled.
"Got an A", siad Max smiling.
Liz nodded her head smiling. It was December 1st. They had gone home for Thanksgiving and it was a battle for Serena. She sat in court and heard the lies that came out of the Caravan's mouths blaming Serena for her son's sucide. Everyone in the court didn't beleive them though but what shocked everyone the most was when Mrs. Caravan accused Serena of having powers and beign an alien. Serena almost died from shock.
"Prove it", said Serena outloud.
Blood Tests were taken and everything according to them came back human. Serena knew this becasue she was mostly human except for the size of her cerbereal cortex. Serena was nervous though. SHe was convinced that Mrs. Caravan knew something. She was right when she saw thier nephrew Agent Brooks walk into the court room. Ava and Serena shook from fear. The others were confused at first until they saw him with his cold blue eyes staring at Serena. Zan held Serena tightly after that. They didn't make an obvious expresions not to lead him on. This man was supposed to have had tortured Ava and Serena in the whiteroom.
"GOd Zan he is here he exists", siad Serena.
She had hoped when the future had changed that he would go away but that was not the case. THey had to deal with him one way or another. Serena was more scared because this was the man in her vision that had try to kill her babies. Serena still had nightmares about that. Zna held her closer and promised to protect her with his life. Serena calmed down a bit but she was still scared to be alone. That's why they always had lunch together now.
"Ready for the bg day", asked Liz smiling.
Serena had a huge smile on her face. She was going to marry Zan in 24 days. Isabel planned everything perfectly. SHe wanted this badly. Her dad was going to fly in as well as the Evans and Jim and Amy Valenti, the Parkers, the Whitmans, and her mom and brother.
"Yeah I'm ready, I've been ready", said Serena hugging Zan.
It is going to be a great day. Hopeful nothing bad is going to happen. Max rubbed Liz's now slightly curved stomach. he found her to be sexy like this.
"Max", giggled Liz.
They were enjoying their lunch so much that they didn't even notice the cold eyes of one Agent Brooks.
