" OMG Scott scott come quickly ' Screamed liz a few days later as she stood in their bedroom in front of a full length mirror and sending Scott into a panic
Scott had been downstairs and tending to Jason before getting ready to leave for work himself and already Hannah had left for playgroup so making sure Jason was okay David raced up the stairs yelling ' Hang on I'm coming what's wrong as he ran into the room and got a shock
' How is this possible scotty what's going on ' Said liz upset as she was wearing her nightdress and her stomach had got bigger so she looked about 6 months gone and that made David gasp
' What the hell you can't be that big your not even a month pregnant yet yet you look about 6 ' David said going white and running a hand through his hair
' I really don't know and already I can feel the baby kicking me I'm so sore what's going on what is this thing I'm carrying and apparently all the other women are the same scotty I'm scared ' Liz said as a silent tear ran down her cheek and David was at a loss not knowing what to do
' Er look I'm sure you'll be fine you and baby ' David begun but got cut off
" Look Scott don't bullshit me something is going on am I in danger I want to know now " Liz said as the doorbell rang
' Er doorbell I'll be right back and I'm sure everything will be fine don't worry babes ' David said quickly kissing Liz and running down the stairs muttering ' saved by the bell
When David opened the door he got s surprise to find Amanda Vernon and another man on his doorstep smiling in an unsettling way
' Hi Amanda Vernon and your Scott hadgreeves we met at the meeting other night remember I said I'd make indevigal house calls ' She said grinning in a way that made David nervous
' Oh yeah yeah I do sorry just now is kinda a bad time house is not tidy and I haven't gotten round to doing the dishes yet maybe tomorrow or another day ' David said trying to get rid of the woman
' I don't mind mess and hey I'm not the worlds cleanest person and also I say no time like the present I just need a few moments of you and your wife's time as I believe your expecting too 'Amanda said now sneaking her foot in the door so David couldn't close it one of Susan's tricks David remembered as Susan did that with Jill one time
' Er yeah okay I guess but please excuse the mess as I said I haven't got round to cleaning up and I have 2 young kids so it's a toy bombsite really David said showing the guests into the lounge and as Amanda sat down a loud squeak was heard
' Oh sorry about that my sons squeaky teddy ' David said taking a blue small squeaky toy and tossing it into the play pen and forcing a smile before yelling Jason no and racing into the hall to grab his son who was trying to climb the stairs as the stair gate was open
' Sorry about that guys meet my youngest Jason he's a bit of a handful at times ' David said putting Jason into his play pen and sitting back down again and pulled a pink Disney princess blanket from under him and tossed it over the arm of the sofa next to a pink ballet tutu
" Kids eh so messy ' David said forcing a laugh as the man looked at a photo of 2 small children
' That's my two Hannah who's 4 and you already met Jason he's 3 soon and both are that age you need eyes in the back of your head ' Said David making small talk
' Well I don't have kids really so I don't know " The man said
' We didn't plan for kids we have 2 dogs as were not really a fan of kids they ruin your home and are so messy and noisy and go through your money like water. but as I said well we're expecting now too but we will adopt the baby out we're far too busy to raise children and we don't like children ' Amanda said now going into her purse and pulling out a pack of ciggeretts
' Mind if I smoke I always need a smoke before meetings ' Amanda said getting ready to light the ciggerette she put in her mouth
' Actully yes I do and I'd prefare you didn't I don't want Jason or Liz to breath it in ' David said as Amanda made a cface and put the ciggerets back into her purse and that moment Liz came in and sat next to David
' What's going on who are these people hun ..? Asked Liz looking at David but Amanda cut in not giving David a chance to awnser
' Hi hun I'm dr Amanda Vernon I seen you at the meeting the other night and remember I said I'd be calling at your homes individually to speak to you all face to face about what is going on ' The woman said offering her hand for Liz to shake
' Er hi well I'm liz hadgreeves this is scott my husband and that is Jason over their my youngest but what's going on you said you were looking into this and also I'm like 3 weeks pregnant and I look about 6 months so what's going on and I felt the baby kicking I never experienced this with my last two " Liz said
' Well. were still working on that and as I said we are linking all the pregnancies to the black out and it's not just this town their are world wide reports coming in even North Korea have reported cases but thing is this has happened before and my aunt Susan was posted to a small town called Midwich thankfully the children were stopped and destroyed but not before they killed half the town ' Amanda said shocking Liz
' Wait you said the children killed people how when ' Said liz panicking as David gave a grown
' Last time this happened was back in the mid 90s their seems to be a pattern they come almost every 30 years I read into past cases and read my aunts notes and all I can say these children are demons ' Amanda said as Liz screamed and cried
' No no ' Liz yelled as Amanda tried to carry on but Liz wouldn't listen and soon Jason started crying too
" Look maybe it's best you leave you've upset my wife and son and I don't want them stressed out and they might not turn out demons but please leave ' David said standing up and putting his wife around Liz
' Okay I will but all I'm saying is beware that's all now I have other people to see so I wish you all a good day ' Amanda said leaving as David glared at the woman
' Oh scotty she said their demons she's lying what's going on ' Liz wept
' Shhh look everything will be okay it turned out fine last time and it will again ' David said
' Last time so it has happened before ..? Asked Liz as David nodded and quickly made up a story
' Yeah last time I was a baby when it happened and I remember mom saying we it didn't effect us but we heard about it ' David lied he could never tell Liz that he was once one of the children and was meant to be evil but a twist if fate left him good and caring
" Mom do you think you could come over later I really need to talk to you ..? Asked David a little later on the phone in a low voice so Liz wouldn't hear ' Sure sweetie what's wrong and where's Liz...? Asked Jill
' She's having a rest listen Amanda was talking about the last blackout and she knows how the kids turned out and Liz is freaking out here " David said
' Awww shit that's all we need what is she saying about it ..? Asked Jill
" Not a lot of course she doesn't believe it and last time their was no kids born here in this town so she never encounters any thank god but now she has like 50 to dodge but I'm scared in case that venom woman will find out about me she's got Susan's notes and she notted down everything not just me the others too she always had us hauled into her office doing loads of tests and that and sure on one of her dumb tests one of her workers ended up blind ' David said
' Yeah I remember she put something in one of the girls eyes ' Jill said
' Yeah it was an accident she mixed up the little bottles and put the wrong stuff into Lilly's eye and Lilly freaked out as it hurt her eyeball and Mara and the others got posed and made her do the same hence the poor woman being blind I was their don't forget ' David said as Jill sighed
' So you think Susan will have made notes on you too she never said anything " Jill said
' Course she wouldn't look the night of the fire when they attacked Sarah and brought down those helicopters and I went off with Mara and Robert we ran into Susan at the clinic and I knew what she was up to she was moving a lot of files notes and that she planned to leave Midwich and go back to the city and write a book. make money off us kids but guess we stopped her before she got a chance she didn't care about us kids or our families she was just a greedy fame hungry doctor and I sense Amanda is the same she will exploit these babies and me if she knew who I was ' David said
" Well tell no one anything about your past I know you hate lying and that but it's the only way ' Jill said hearing David sigh
' Yeah your right mom but I hate all this pretence but I know it's the only way to protect Liz and the kids from the truth as if they or the town really knew who or what I was Well I dread to think ' David said unaware tha6 liz had heard him and stood shocked that her husband was lying to her
Scott what's going on ..? Asked Liz looking at David who dropped the phone and went pale and muttered oh shit
well that's that chappy done more to come
