Chapter 10

"Mom, I don't want to argue with you about it, alright? Is it really that big of a deal? Can't we just come -? Fine. Fine. I'll come over. FiYes! We'll come over. Okay. 'Bye." Isabel exclaimed as she hung up the phone and looked at Alex. "My mother wants us to go over there for dinner."

"Tonight?" Alex asked, concerned.

"Right now." Isabel stated and Alex sighed.

"Better go before she loses her temper with us and starts comparing us to Max and Liz." Alex stated, he had gotten the full story of what happened after Max and Liz had told them about the pregnancy and they weren't very high on his likeable list.

Phillip Evans looks out his window at helicopters searching the area with spotlights.

"Whoa. What's going on out there?" Phillip asked; Liz gently rocked Zan. Max, Liz, Isabel and Alex were all sitting in the Evan's living room with the adults,

"So... Mom. What's for dinner?" Max asked.

"Ah... actually, I'm... not cooking tonight." Diane explained and they all looked at her, puzzled and confused.

"Uhm...Are we... ordering in?" Isabel asked.

"We're not actually having dinner. Uhm... Your mother and I have something that we want to share with you all." Phillip stated as he sat next to Diane on the couch, he picked up the remote control and started the video, they all looked toward it and saw Isabel sitting on her bed, the objects whirling around her. They all looked each other in a stunned shock, they have been found out.

"I... oh, God, I can't believe that you spied on me." Isabel snapped as she stood up and moved away from her parents, standing behind Max and Liz. Alex stood next to her, holding her close next to his body.

"I'm sorry, honey, but we didn't know what else to do!" Diane exclaimed.

"Can you please just tell us... what this means? Who are you?" Phillip demanded and Max stood up, anger evident in his face as Isabel turned away from her parents, unable to look at them for invading her privacy like that.

"We're your kids." Max stated.

"Are you?" Phillip demanded and Isabel turned around, disbelief showing all over her face.

"Yes!" she exclaimed.

Soon there was knocking sound at the door and Liz stood up, clutching Zan close to her chest as fear shone in her eyes. Max looked at her.

"Liz?" Max asked.

"It's the F.B.I.," she whispered out and they all looked at each other with fear showing in their eyes as the adults looked confused.

"Open the door. United States Air Force." The Major shouted through the door as he knocked, Phillip headed over to the door and opened it as Liz ran into Max's old bedroom in order to keep Zan away from the force, not wanting him to be taken from her.

"This doesn't make any sense, Isabel. You don't look any different." Diane whispered. Max had went into his bedroom to reassure Liz that everything was going to be okay as the military searched the house.

"I'm half human." Isabel whispered to her parents.

"And the other half?" Diane demanded and Isabel sighed.

"Mom, please! Not now..." Isabel hissed as Phillip turned to Alex.

"How long have you known?"

"About two years now." Alex stated.

"And you're okay with it?" Phillip asked and Alex nodded.

"She's still the woman I fell in love with. She's still Isabel." Alex explained and they both smiled as Phillip felt pride swell up in his chest at Isabel's obvious happiness while Diane shook her head, still in disbelief, meanwhile the force had found the tape of Isabel using her powers and confiscated it, taking it with them.

"Thank you for your cooperation, we'll let ourselves out." The Major stated and they all left the house, leaving Isabel sighing in relief as Max and Liz came out of the bedroom.

"Are they gone?" Max asked, Isabel nodded and Liz sighed as she kissed Zan's forehead, holding him close to her body as fear still ran though her veins. Max kissed Liz on the forehead as he pulled her into a hug, holding her close. They had a narrow escape but they knew it wasn't over, not by a long shot.

Max was standing in the Evan's kitchen with a cup of coffee in his hand; Zan was lying on the small bassinet on the table, playing with his feet as he smiled up at his father.

Phillip stepped through and smiled at Max.

"How are you doing?" Phillip asked and Max shrugged.

"They're out there, Dad. I know it. I can feel it. They're coming for him." Max stated; fear creeping into his voice and Phillip looked at Max.

"No one's coming for him, Max. Your son is safe, here. It's been over for days." Phillip soothed and Max shook his head.

"It'll never be over." Max whispered and Phillip felt a pang of sympathy for his son.

"Max..." Phillip started, trying to find the right words but it never came.

"I've been dealing with this a lot longer than you have. It's a constant battle." Max explained, strain showing in his face and voice. Phillip sighed deeply as he looked at his son.

"And your mother and I have been a part of that battle, haven't we? ...Well... I'm sorry. But we can help you fight them, now." Phillip soothed and Max shook his head as he walked over to the small bassinet and let Zan play with his finger.

"We have been fighting them. And if not these guys, it'll be someone else." Max explained and shook his head, feeling shattered from the sleepless nights, Liz had been up most of the night checking on Zan to make sure that he was okay and safe. The fear of losing someone else in front of her like she lost her mother had flared up once more when the air force had forced his or her way through everyone's houses.

"Shouldn't you get some sleep?" Phillip asked and Max snorted slightly.

"Didn't I tell you?" Max asked as he lifted the cup of coffee to his lips and Phillip looked at him, curiously. "Aliens don't need sleep." Phillip laughed.

"Maxwell Evans, you wish!" Liz muttered as she came stumbling down the hallway, wearing one of his shirt, yawning.

"Have a good night sleep?" Phillip asked and Liz rolled her eyes.

"Don't I wish; somebody was up all night due to the excitement." Liz stated as she leaned into the casket and kissed Zan good morning.

"No he wasn't." Max stated and Liz threw him a glare.

"Maxwell Alexander Evans, you can sleep through a war so don't you start telling me that your son didn't keep me up all night, I even kicked you a couple time and did you wake? No, you are totally the same as you were in your past life!" Liz explained and Isabel came out, smiling.

"Isn't a great morning?" she asked, cheerfully and Liz rolled her eyes as she picked up her son, she sat on the seat and placed her feet on the other stool and let Zan lie on her legs.

"Runs in the family so it does." Liz told Zan, who gurgled at his mother happily, enjoying himself on his mother's lap.

"How do you deal with it?" Phillip asked and Liz looked up at him.

"Well, dad had always given me a normal life, by making me suppress my powers and involving myself in activities, I guess you just deal with it. This is the way our life is." Liz explained as she lifted Zan up so she could hold him against her chest, Zan looked over Liz's shoulder at Diane, who had just walked into the kitchen, he held her eyes while playing with Liz's hair.

"Must have been hard for you." Phillip stated to them, Isabel and Max nodded.

"We wanted to tell you so much but we were scared of the danger that you would be in." Max explained.

"Danger?" Phillip asked.

"F.B.I." Liz whispered as she kissed the side of Zan's head. "My mother was never killed in a car crash, she and I were captured by the F.B.I when I was eight years old."

"What happened?" Phillip asked as he sat down, Diane just leaned against the door and listened, she was amazed at how much Zan was so much like Max.

"There was an Agent called Pierce, he was the one who captured us, he raped my mom in front of me before killing her. She was pregnant when she died. Dad came in time to rescues me but was too late for mom, he was furious and killed every agent in the building before blowing it up. Pierce had escaped at the time and he captured Max and I two years ago." Liz explained. "He never did anything major to us, he wanted me to get pregnant with his child but I mind warped him."

"Mind warp?" Diane asked, startling everyone in the room, they all turned to face her.

"I made him think that he was having sex with me while I freed Max. Mind warp is all about making someone see something that isn't there. It's like an illusion." Liz explained.

"Have you ever done that to Max?" Diane asked suddenly and Max lost it.

"No mom, she hasn't!" Max snapped.

"How do you know?" Diane asked.

"Whenever Liz uses her mind warp, she passes out from the amount of energy that it takes, she rarely uses it unless in extreme situations." Isabel stated, aghast with her mother accusations.

"What are you going to do?" Phillip asked.

"Liz and I are going back home with Zan, we need to fix the mess that the soldiers have made." Max explained.

"Why don't you leave Zan here with us?" Diane asked and Max shook his head.

"No." he replied shortly.

"Max…" Isabel started and Liz jumped in.

"I don't want to be too far from Zan, I almost lost him because of the F.B.I, I can't bare to be away from him at the moment." Liz jumped in, backing Max up.

"But, he'll be safer here." Diane protested and Max snorted.

"How can you protect him when you have no powers?" Max asked angrily and Liz looked at him.

'Max.' she thought to him.

'No Liz, she has hurt you too much, I can't just forget it.' Max thought back and Liz sighed. Zan gurgled as he pulled away and started tugging at the top of Liz's shirt.

"I gotta go and feed Zan, I'll be back soon." Liz stated as she stood up and walked into Max's old room.

"Why won't you trust me?" Diane asked and Max looked at her.

"You told Liz and I to give up Zan the minute he was born!" Max stated. "Isabel and I were abandon and you wanted us to abandoned our son and you slapped Liz. I'm sorry mom, I may love you but I can't trust you not to hurt Liz again." Max stated.

"Max, I said I was sorry!" Diane shot back and Max shook his head.

"Sometime sorry isn't enough. You were furious because I didn't do what you wanted, I wasn't the perfect son, for once I did what I was taught to do and that was to stand by the woman I love, Liz and you hated her for that!" Max exclaimed.

"Max!" Isabel exclaimed as she got in between Max and Diane, stopping them from exchanging any more harsh words.

"Sh baby, everything's okay." Liz whispered to Zan as she rocked him slightly, holding him to her chest as Zan fussed, she was breastfeeding him and could feel his distress as the shouting got louder outside the room. "Daddy will calm down soon."

Max came storming in the bedroom, saw Liz sitting on his bed, soothing Zan, Liz looked up, and glared at him. "You got him all worked up, just after I managed to get him settled!" she hissed at him. Max's face softened and he calmed down.

"I'm sorry." He whispered, Liz sighed as she stood up.

"Max, you and your mum need to sit down and talk this out, I hate this Max; I hate that you and your mum are arguing every time you see each other. I hate the fact that Zan barely knows his grandparents because of this stupid feud!" she exclaimed.

"Liz, I'm trying very hard but when she starts up these stupid accusations, I just lose it. I can't see why she thinks you have to mind warp me into loving you and you tricking me into being with you by getting pregnant. I just wish she would open her eyes and see that I'm with you because I love you and we kept Zan because it was our choice and we wanted him!" Max exclaimed.

"She is scared that she's losing you!" Liz exclaimed.

"Well, she's gonna if she keeps this up." Max bit out bitterly as he yanked on his jeans and pulled on his top. "We have to go over to the U.F.O Centre, the whole gang wants to meet up and talk about what we are going to do." Max explained. Liz nodded as she handed Zan over to Max, as she got dressed.

They arrived at the U.F.O Centre and started up the meeting, Liz had went into the back room with Zan so she could look up on the computer for any leads that the F.B.I had, she sat Zan on the ground, letting him play with his toy as she switched on the computer.

Soon she realised that Zan was being unusually quiet and looked toward him, she saw him playing with a small black hexagon shape of rock and was puzzled.

"Zan, what are you doing?" Liz asked as she watched her son's face turn serious before a bright light emitted from him and a huge portal opened up.

Liz watched with disbelief on her face as people stepped through the portal and looked at her before looking at their surrounding, completely confused. "Oh my…" Liz whispered.
