I keep trying to make this chapter better but I'm not having any luck. Tell me what you think. – Jaz 1/19/10

Chapter 5

"Hi Michael." Isabelle said greeting him with a kiss. "You staying for dinner"

"Max invited me"

"I thought you had to work tonight"

"I switched shifts with Joe."

"Isabelle Mom needs your help in the Kitchen."

"Okay. I'm glad you're here" Isabelle said, then went to finished helping her mom frost the cake then made her way to her room. She wondered when would be the best time to tell Michael. Deciding that now was as good a time as any she called out for him. "Michael can you come here for a minute." Michael came into room "Close the door"

"Something wrong?" Smiling she walked toward him and wrapped her arms around him. Their lips met for a passionate kiss.

Pulses racing, their breaths coming faster, despite how amazing it felt to feel his chest pressing against hers; they broke apart.

"So you missed me huh"

"Yes" She answered breathlessly. Remembering that she didn't call him to her room just to make out she got back to the topic at hand. "Michael, I talked to Tess today"

"What about?"

"I want to spend some time with you, so after dinner do you want to go on a drive maybe visit the chamber?"

"You're acting weird."

"Listen I don't have time for this. Do you want to spend time with me or not?"

"Okay". While waiting on dinner, they went to Max's room where Isabelle was interrogated on skipping school and not coming back to pick him up.

After dinner Isabelle and Michael managed to get away. Max was just starting to accept them as a couple but he never left them alone together. Not that he didn't trust Michael; he just didn't trust him with his sister.

Sitting on a blanket in the middle of the desert outside of the chamber they laid under the stars talking, laughing, and just being together. Isabelle realized it was now or never.

"Michael. Can we talk?"

"We are talking."

Sitting up Isabelle turned to face him, "I mean seriously talk, about something important."

Noticing the way she started to nibble on her lower lip Michael figured it must be serious "Whatever it is I'm here for you"

She looked into his eyes feeling his sincerity she took a deep breath well here goes nothing "You know when we, umm well, when we had sex that first time, It's not like we use protection or anything. So it's understandable that I'm pregnant." Talking faster she continued "Tess did say that the dreams were signals that my body sent out letting you know that it was the optimal time for conception. So now I'm pregnant. Maybe it's a boy like in our dreams…"

Michael sat there watching Izzy's mouth move but he hadn't heard a word she said since the words 'I'm pregnant' left her mouth the first time. He was too busy trying to figure out how he was going to support a family while working as a short order cook at the Crashdown. His apartment could probably house a baby but what about when the baby got older.

"Michael are you listening to me… Michael aren't you happy?"

Shaking himself from his wayward thoughts he realize that his silence could be misconstrued, "Of course I'm excited just trying to figure out how we are going to do this."

"I've already thought about that. I know that I am a bit immature and that it's time for me to grow up. After I graduate in a couple weeks I'm going to get a job. Maybe at the mall or either at my dad's office."

"Shit! What about your parents and Max? What are they gonna say?"

"I know that this is big but since you're standing by me I'm sure that they will understand." They talked over possible outcomes and the actions they were going to have to take in order to be more responsible adults for the rest of the night.

"We'll tell them tomorrow at dinner." Isabelle said with a perky smile.
