The next morning my shades started going up in a rush, light shining through them. I sat up with Alek's arm still around my waist as he snored quietly. "What?" I said holding out my hand over my eyes. Valentina hit Alek to wake him up.

"We have to get out of here. NOW" She yelled, Alek jumped up- switching from mate to protector in seconds. I went into my closet and found all of Amy and my clothes were gone. Alek's was the same. Everything was packed. I rushed to find Amy. Valentina and Alek soon intervined with that idea. One taking one of my arms and the other, the other arm. They guided me to the Emergency Jet. Paul, Amy, mom and Jasmine were on there. We took off quickly. "We are going home. We've been compromised here"

"And home is a safe place right now?" Alek said.

"No one would expect it." Valentina said. I had to agree with her. No one would expect us to go back, we would have a lot of explaining to do when we got back. "I know that look Chloe" She said "We had a family vacation!" She said "Our families got together and we went on a vacation."

"Now that's going to be one fun event at school monday" I said. I turned on my phone looking at everything I missed. I added a lot of the teenage Mai on facebook that I had met. They instantly started messaging me.

Terrain Nisers:

Mark Matthew:

You shouldn't be with him.

"Well Danni hates me." I said "She says I shouldn't be with you" I looked at Alek laughing he smiled rolling his eyes. I was nervous about going back to school. Gym would be hell, changing in front of people. Alek couldn't keep his shirt on in basketball or anything else... So they'd know about his mark but what about mine? I could go around and be like... Dude, I got this tattoo with Alek during our vacation.

"You're feeling very sarcastic" Alek said kissing my hand, I had started wearing the ring on my hands instead of around my neck.

"I guess this is becoming a necklace again." I sighed a little upset that we had to go from the married life to the secret life of the mai teenager

"I have a question in the future for all of you mai people." My mom said as I took a sip of my drink, orange juice. Yum. "Can I suspect any grand children any time soon" I spit out my drink and started choking. Alek was just smiling at her.

"Um.. No Children" I said, as I put my hands in the air "I'm 16 remember"

"But Valentina explained that everything is faster in the mai world. I just thought that you two were..." she cut herself off "She said that it's better for mai to have children early after they've bonded, and she hoped that you two would so she could see the outcome. The uniter's child!"

"Are you trying to pressure me into having sex with Alek?" I yelled "Not happening any time soon. I'm sorry but I'd rather focus on saving the mai race than focus on a baby!" Alek nodded in agreement with that.

"It would be a safety hazzard, as much as I know Chloe loves children. I also know that we can't do that right now." Alek said "Plus, I know Chloe doesn't want to have sex"

"I mean, she wants to go through with high school. She doesn't want a baby" Amy said to both of them.

"I think it would be wise to consider it." Valentina said like the mother-in-law that really wanted her son to give her a grandson.

"Thank you for the suggestions" I mummbled and then we went to small talk. Chitter Chattin' and such until we landed. "Alek, we need to set them straight. No babies" Alek grinned and picked me up bridal style.

"No babies? I think I want a baby with you" I hoped that was honest. I might of wanted a baby with Alek but I didn't need one right now. I knew that it would ruin everything I had going for me. The late night training and the friends at school. Even being with Alek was distracting me from being human too. I loved the gossip in the hallway. I loved talking to Amy about Paul and her. I wanted to make a muffin wish and go to a club because I could without worrying there was an order of people after me.

"I don't think we're ready" I said "I'm sixteen, I've got a lot on my shoulders. I'm not saying we all don't because we all do. We all do. And me getting pregnant at this age was not in the plan I made. Not saying any of this was in the plan, but it is the last thing I have that won't change. We don't need a baby"

"I know, but I want one with you"

"Do you want a baby, or to have sex. Be honest" I asked him.

"A little of both" He said "One slightly more appealing than the other" He let me go as we climbed in the sleek car. Black and shiny. Alek held my hand in the back seat as Valentina bolted with another car behind her.

"Maybe sometime" I looked at Alek finally responding to him. He didn't know what to say. I felt the confusing parts, the guilt that he had talked me into something and the want for me. His feelings said what he couldn't.
