Chapter 6
Max stood there. Did he hear her right, or is his mind playing tricks on him. "But…..how?" he asked taking a step back.
"Do we really need to explain the birds and bee's to you?" Michael said in a sarcastic voice. Max glared at him, and turned to look back at Liz. Now that he thought about it, it did make sense, all the stomachaches. He ran his hand through his hair, and took a deep breath.
"How far along?" he asked. He didn't know if this pregnancy was normal or not. Tess's wasn't, and he didn't want anything to happen to Liz.
"Four months." She said looking at the ground.
"Four months!" Maria gasped. Isabel rolled her eyes, and nodded her head.
"You have known for 4 months, and you are just now decided to tell me?" Max could feel a bit of frustration, but how else was he supposed to handle it.
Liz shook her head. "No Max, I swear. I didn't know. I just found out today. It isn't normal. I would normally not be four months pregnant." Max could tell from the look on her face that she honestly did not know.
"Then what is it?"
"We don't know." Isabel answered for her. She could tell that Liz was wearing down. "It isn't full human, and it isn't full alien. That shouldn't be our main concern right now though." Max raised an eyebrow.
"How is my baby not our full concern?" He was already protective over it.
"Because there are people after us, and they are going find us, soon after the baby is born."
The girls sat in their new hotel room, 3rd in two weeks. The group had decided that it would be better that way. Because Liz couldn't have the same doctor because they knew he would start getting suspicious when she was small one day and 7 months pregnant the next.
"I feel fat." Liz said leaning against the chair, holding a half eaten snickers bar in one hand and a tub of ice cream in the other.
"Hun you're pregnant. You are allowed to be pregnant, and moody. Take advantage of the situation." Maria said taking a bite of her Big Mac.
"I'm not moody." Liz grumbled under her breath, before jabbing her candy bar in her ice cream.
"Yeah, ok Liz." Isabel said sarcastically. "Kyle told me that you practically bit his head off earlier because he didn't throw away his plate." Liz looked at her with a mouthful of ice cream.
"Well, it was nasty." She said through a mouthful. Maria laughed, but when Liz glared at her she shut her mouth.
"Isn't it nice having a girl's night? We all know that everybody has been a little on edge lately, especially Max." Maria said taking another bite.
"Yeah, see this is why I wanted to wait before telling him. I mean he has been obsessed, and I swear if anybody comes after my baby, I'll blow them up, but the fact is, no one has come. It has been two weeks, and the way this pregnancy is going I am going to be popping this thing out in about a week or 2." Liz finished off her candy bar and grabbed the bag of Doritos sitting on the table next to her.
Isabel laughed a little. "I really don't think there is going to be any popping the baby out, and you know Max. He is always protective, that is what makes him Max, and I hate to say it, but you wouldn't have been able to keep it from him much longer. You started showing like 3 days after you told him." Isabel went over to her bag, and pulled out some clear fingernail polish. She put her finger to the bottle and the water in it turned bright red. With a smile to herself she started applying it to her toes.
"Don't remind me." Liz said putting her hands on her very rounded stomach.
"Do you think Liz is ok?" Max asked Michael right before he was about to shoot the ball into the net, distracting him to make him miss.
Michael made a quiet growl. "Max, if you ask me that one more time. You are going to be the one I stuff in that net." But with one look at Max's worried face, he softened his voice. "Look, I'm sure she is fine. The girls know where we are, and if worse came to worse, they can call us." He pulled his cell-phone out of his pocket to prove his point.
"Max, Buddha says…" Kyle began to quote, but with one look from Max he quickly shut his mouth. "OK, fine Buddha doesn't say, but Kyle says, relax. Nobody has come for Liz or the baby. Anyway, you know that if anything happens, she has 31/2 aliens protecting her." Kyle said including himself. He was starting to form minor powers. Moving little things with his mind, stuff like that.
"I know, but I just have a feeling that someone is closing in on us." Max said looking at the passerby's. He felt like someone was always watching him.
"Are you sure you don't want some?" Liz asked the girls holding out a pickle with cheese on top of it. Isabel and Maria looked at each other with disgusted looks on their faces.
"Thanks, but I think I will pass." Isabel said holding her hands in the air. Liz shrugged her shoulders and took a huge bite. She swallowed, and was about to get up to go to the bathroom when she felt a huge pain in her stomach. She groaned and put her hand on her stomach.
"What's the matter?" Maria asked, seeing that something wasn't right with Liz from the start.
"The baby isn't happy about something I guess." Liz said as the pain subsided a little bit. She sat up in her chair and took a couple of deep breaths. When she saw the concerned looks on Isabel and Maria's faces she smiled at them. "I'm fine."
"OK, but if that happens again, I'm calling Max." Maria said, holding up her phone, to prove her point. Liz was about to protest when there was a knock on the door.
All three girls held their breath. The guys never knock, and housekeeping always came when they were out. They heard the knock again, and just stood there staring at the door.
"This is ridiculous." Isabel exclaimed, before going over to open the door, and what she saw almost sent her into shock. "OMG!"
