Chapter 2:
"Look we are too in the open here", said Chris looking at Serena.
Serena nodded her head carrying her daughter in her arms. The little girl looked at her mother's expression.
"Sad mommy?" asked the little girl shrugging her shoulders.
"No baby, just tired", whispered Serena kissing her forehead and walking towards the car getting out her bags.
Serena walked over to Liz giving her a Winnie the Pooh bag.
"It's Zan's things", said Serena.
"My home is about a 15 minute walk form here. We can't use the car because I made sure that it was hidden well enough, I'll answer your questions after I put my baby to sleep", said Serena sighing.
"No baby, mommy, big girl, you say member", said the little girl.
Serena smiled down at the little girl.
"Aves get the rest of our stuff, plus the stuff we brought for them", said Serena looking at the other girl.
I looked around at my friends that were basically staring at Serena. They all wondered who she was. I know Maria knows at least she knows that name Serena and how she is connected to us. It's weird you know, even though Future Max mentioned her, I never thought I would be meeting her face to face since I changed the future. Or at least I thought I did. It's becoming clearer to me that maybe just maybe I didn't change it after all. I pick up Zan in my arms. I know Max wants an explanation, I really want to give him one but it is still new to me. I feel this little boy, much like a feel Max. I know why I'm his mother. I know the responsibilities that go along with it, but I'm not scared. It's right in a way that few things have been right with me before. I see Maria giving me a weird look and I know she is dying to ask but she is keeping her curiosity tamed at least for now. It's difficult for her because she is curious person by nature. .She must be wondering if I lost my ever loving mind. As far as she knew, Zan was Max and Tess's son not Max and my son. It's hard to explain but I will as soon as we get to the house. My powers have been going a little crazy lately, and I didn't piece all my visions together until tonight. I know they are going to be a little hurt especially Max when he finds out how much of my visions I have been keeping form him. It wasn't that I intentionally did that, I just have to get my head around it. I needed to make sure that they were right and not just wishful thinking. It's hard sometimes to keep something from the people I love but I couldn't tell them. It would be my son in my danger then possible. It's crazy how my life is now a days.
"We are here", said Chris opening the door to this two story house.
It's actually very beautiful. I thought we were going to be living in a shack or something but this place it really nice.
"Liz, Zan sleeps with my daughter in her room. There are bunk beds there", said Serena showing Liz were to carry a now sleeping Zan.
Liz followed Serena with Max on her tail. She heard Chris ask if anyone wanted something to drink before she left the room. Serena gently placed her daughter onto the top bunk. Serena brushed her hair away form her face kissing her forehead.
"Goodnight, my sweet", whispered Serena before climbing down the ladder and looking at Max and Liz.
"I'll give you a few minutes", said Serena walking out of the room quietly shutting the door behind her.
Max stood back and watched Liz place Zan gently on the bed. She reached over and kissed his forehead making his son sigh in his sleep. Max's heart constricted at the picture that his wife and son gave. He wanted to ask her what was going on but he knew especially now not to question what Liz did. He learned that question long ago. She was always trying to protect him and only him. He made too many mistakes already not listening to what she had to say. He wouldn't make that same mistake twice. Max walked over and kissed his son's forehead also and felt tears come to his eyes. He never thought that he would see his son again. It killed him to give his son away. He knew now it would be impossible to do that. Once was hard enough, he couldn't give his son away again.
"Don't be mad at me Max when we hear what I have to say in that living room", said Liz looking up at her husband that had tears in his eyes.
Max nodded his head.
"Okay", whispered Max.
They walked out to see everyone sitting in the living room with drinks in their hands waiting for the two of them.
"I guess I'll start", said Serena getting up.
"My name is Serena, I'm completely human or at least I was", said Serena.
"This is Chris is my brother, and I guess you all know Aves", said Serena.
"I guess if you ask me questions then I'll know where to begin", said Serena looking at the group in front of her.
"Alright I got one, how did you know that we were being held in that place", chocked out Maria.
"I knew because I get visions of the future and of the past", answered Serena truthfully.
"I thought you were human?", asked Kyle trying to keep his worry away from his voice.
He didn't trust easily.
"I am, I was, I mean biologically I am human, I just have these gifts I should say", answered Serena.
"Rena", whispered Chris.
"Look I just know stuff okay, look, I had this weird vision that we guys were in trouble and I know that I couldn't let anything happen to you, we were looking for you anyway", said Serena pacing her living room floor.
"Okay I guess I have a question Liz why in the world is Zan calling you mom, and Serena you knew that too, why is Zan calling her mom?", asked Isabel.
"Because she is his mother", answered Ava.
"Zan doesn't let anyone hold him, he was whimpering in my arms, He hates when anyone touches him, Liz is his mother", said Ava.
"But how last time I checked Zna was Tess's", said Michael.
"NO she is not", answered Serena angrily.
Chris placed his arms around her trying to calm her down.
"Okay then explain it to me", said Michael looking at the woman.
"Antar has a different set of rules, you can't have a child together unless both parties consent it", answered Liz.
Even shifted their attention towards her.
"We all know that Tess's main goal was to come here get pregnant and hand you three over, but it wasn't working. Max didn't want to be with her. I pushed him to be with her thinking I was doing the right thing. I told you all about future Max, even he believed the they should be together. But we were wrong. It was already too late for Max to be with Tess at least in a King and Queen way. He couldn't give her what she wanted more then life itself. He couldn't give her the position by his side as queen because he had already given it to some one else", said Liz looking at her friends.
"You", answered Isabel.
Liz nodded her head.
"Max you remember the first time you saw me right, I was in the yard playing and you had just gotten off the bus", asked Liz.
Max nodded his head.
"I remember", said Max smiling.
"I'll never forget that day", said Max.
"Remember we were in the same class too, I sat in front of you", said Liz.
Max once again nodded his head.
"I volunteered to not have recess so I could feed the hamster the class pet, and you did too", said Liz.
Max nodded his head again. He remembered everything about that day.
"We were feeding the hamster when it ran out of the cage, we made a grab for it but it ran, we finally found it and it was hurt. I don't know why I didn't remember it before, but Max the day you healed me wasn't the first time I saw you using your powers. I remember you healing that hamster. I looked shocked but you looked at me pleading for me not to tell anyone. I promised that I would keep your secret", said Liz.
"I don't remember that", said Max looking at Liz confused.
"I know you don't, do you remember that we only had that teacher for only two days before he retired for some reason", said Liz.
Max once again nodded his head.
"There was a reason for that", said Liz.
"Why Liz?", asked Maria looking for an answer to this confusing story.
"That man Max, Mr. Raddish, he was Nasedo", said Liz.
Everyone sat back in shock.
"Max, Tess was in our classroom also", said Liz.
"I remember everything, that day, Max we made a promise to each other that day, we promised to be together forever", said Liz.
"That's not possible", said Michael.
"It's true, you guys weren't the only ones in that class neither", said Chris.
"Serena and I were in your class, but you don't remember us. We didn't remember that we were in Roswell either until recently. Nasedo got that Tess girl to but the mind warp on us. Serena was supposed to bump into Max and push him into Liz so that they would be together earlier", said Chris.
"But I never got the chance, I was mind warped and I went outside for recess. But somehow fate wanted it's way making Max have the courage to ask to feed the hampster with Liz. But Nasedo couldn't let that happen, he knew that Liz was meant to be with Max but his plan wouldn't work so he erased you memories of being there that day. Also he tried to lessen the drive for Max to want Liz. But that backfired on him. Because no matter how hard he tried with his mind games he couldn't stop Max from wanting Liz", said Serena.
"Whoa", said Kyle.
"Okay but how is Zan Liz's son?", asked Maria.
"Liz you want to answer this?", asked Serena.
"Yeah I want to", said Liz.
"Future Max when he came here he messed with the timeline in a major way, he didn't know the damage that he would cause when he decided to take a trip back in time. Anyway I guess I can explain this. Umm time is a continous thing, he never stops. You could sleep for hours but time will move whether you are there or not. Anyway Future Max and I at least the future version of my self had a son, Zan. Just like the Zan upstairs. He was about three years old when we were attacked and he was killed. My future self never believed he was gone though. She kept hearing him. Future Max was destroyed because he thought he was losing his wife. So they concocted this plan to go to the past and stop us from ever being together in the first place, so my future self wouldn't feel this pain. But my future self was right. Zan wasn't meant to die. It wasn't his time. He was waiting for his tome to come back. But we made a mistake. He tried to change the past", explained Liz.
"Okay I'm still not getting it", said Michael.
"Zan that Zan upstairs is a gift from the angel of Destiny", said Liz.
Michael looked confused but Maria got it.
"So he is not biologically yours but his soul is yours", said Isabel getting it too.
"No he is biologically mine", said Liz.
"Now I'm lost", said Maria.
"That night Max, the night you slept with Tess", said Liz.
Max looked down in shame. Liz walked up to him tilting his head back.
"That's the night you brought me my son", said Liz.
"The angel of Destiny, he knew that he had to right the wrong and the only way to do that was to bring forth the child that was mine and Max's", said Liz.
Liz looked at Serena for help.
"It might have been Tes's body but it wasn't Tess that you slept with", said Serena.
Michael looked at them ready to go into a protest.
"What?", yelled Michael.
Max even looked confused.
"The Angel of Destiny knew that you had a fight, it just wouldn't be possible for you to have slept with Liz's body that night, but he knew that Zan was important, too important for let an argument between you two stop him from being conceived. Max you thought you slept with Tess, Tess thought you slept with her, shit you all thought that but that night Max, you slept with Liz. It's kind of like body switching", said Serena.
"I'm still confused", said Maria.
"Alright, that night, when you thought Tess there, it wasn't a mind warp or nothing like that it was just your brain not registering what your heart and soul knew", said Serena.
"That night Max, we were together, Tess's body was just a vessel, it wasn't her", said Liz.
"It's confusing I know but it's like a spiritual thing. The body means nothing it's just a shell that holds that soul. Anyway, Max never looked at the body he was umm making love to he was looking at the face. If he did, he would have noticed that the body was mine. It's hard to explain, sometimes I get a head ache thinking about it", said Liz.
"Alright let me see if I could get this straight, this Angel guy wanted baby Zan to be born, but he knew that Max and Liz wouldn't be up to it so he created a way for you to be with Max without actually being with him. Your body was there, so I'm assuming that's why Zan is biologically yours, Max is that why you said the sex was weird", asked Michael.
"Kind of I mean it's like my body wasn't really there, my mind was disconnected or something", said Max.
"Disconnected, that's actually a good explanation, the whole experience wasn't for pleasure it was to bring forth Zan that's all", said Serena.
"What about the hour long orgasm", asked Michael.
Max winced and blushed at that. He couldn't believe that he actually told Michael something to personal.
"Wow hour, shit, but I don't think it was the orgasm alone it was Zan being created, maybe it was baby Zan being transfer into Tess's body, his DNA fusing with Liz;'s not allowing Tess's junk DNA to take over, and Liz leaving and going back to her own state of mind. This is plainly a metaphysical thing, it's hard to explain because we are not God or whatever it's called", said Serena.
"I think I just got a headache", said Kyle.
"Liz how did you know all of this?", asked Isabel.
"I have been getting visions, Max the day you gave up Zan, I thought I was feeling only your pain, but it was mind too, Zan bound himself to me", said Liz.
"Remember that week, I was holding him, he tried to", said Liz blushing.
Isabel bust out laughing.
"What?", asked Chris looking confused.
"Zan tried to get breast milk, He just kept trying and started getting fussy when Liz refused him her chest", said Maria laughing.
Liz blushed harder.
"Umm that's probably when he bound you together", said Serena.
"Bound?", asked Max.
"Yes every child and mother has a bound but since your situation was kind of unusual he knew he had to do it anyway possible especially how Tess treated him up there", said Serena.
She gasped when she said that, she wasn't going to tell them anything about Zan's stay on Antar.
"What do you mean?", asked Liz looking at Serena.
"Umm", said Serena looking down.
"Spit it out", yelled Liz.
"He was tortured", said Serena.
Liz visibly paled at that.
"That", was the only thing that came out of Liz's mouth.
Maria shook with anger herself. How could a person do that to a little boy.
They sat in silence for 15 minutes before Michael asked Serena, "Who is the father of your baby?", asked Michael.
Serena looked down.
"Yeah your daughter looks just like Max, don't tell me that's Max's daughter right?", asked Isabel.
Serena's face paled. What she was going to say would hurt him.
"Right?", asked Isabel again.
"Umm".
