Teresa

"No, he doesn't. None of the others know anything about me other then the cover story everybody was told. I wasn't supposed to ever inform anyone of the true situation. I wasn't even supposed to contact Michael and the others while I was on Earth. I went against that as soon as I landed here on Earth and came to Roswell. I was only supposed to watch, protect them from afar."

He sighed and turned from me. He wasn't supposed to contact his own brother...to let him know that he had family? I've known Michael for a long time. He has worked for my dad for some time now. I know he's moody and a loner most of the time. But to not know that people are out there watching you, family out there wondering where you are has got to be frustrating. When Trevor showed up, and Michael's dad adopted him, something changed in Michael...something for the better. How will this effect him now?

"Maybe I should take you home. You've had an information overload today and probably want to rest."

Rest is the last thing I am going to do, I think but nod. There is still plenty to think about and what about Liz? My own sister, how is it that I didn't know about her?

"That may be for the best." I say.

"We can get together with the others tomorrow and discuss things. I still need to get the chance to talk to Mikey alone, without the others. I'm sorry if I've made you... uncomfortable."

"I'm not uncomfortable." I turned and gazed right into his eyes. For some reason I'm angry at him. It's hard to explain if it is directed at him or at all the secrets that I've been privy too.

"I just don't understand. You come down here knowing your brother, your flesh and blood, is alive but you are ordered to not make contact with him, to just observe him. But you don't follow orders and end up letting his father adobt you...and still you don't tell him the truth?"

I shake my head in frustration. I still feel the lingering effects of Trevor's kiss but I refuse to bow to it. It draws me to reach out and touch him, to keep kissing him and forget everything else, but I can't. I allow my anger to grow.

"How can you live with yourself day after day, lying to them. Lying to yourself that it's ok?"

I know I shouldn't be say that. Liz and I have lived like this all our lives. We love each other but we never told each other of our powers. Crap...I'm being a hypercrite, but I can't help it. It was either let my anger run or kiss him. And right now I can't let him touch me again or I'll fall deep into the desire that I've had for him for so long. No, now is not the time.

"I'm not uncomfortable." Tree tells me, looking straight at me and suddenly I note the spark of anger in her beautifully entrancing eyes. "I just don't understand. You come down here knowing your brother, your flesh and blood, is alive but you are ordered to not make contact with him, to just observe him. But you don't follow orders and end up letting his father adobt you...and still you don't tell him the truth?"

I'm tempted to interupt and reply but I'm certain she has more to say. "How can you live with yourself day after day, lying to them. Lying to yourself that it's ok?"

That did it, she wanted to be angry, wanting to spout off, fine. I started the car back up and began driving as I spoke, "My silence has saved their lives numerous times. Them knowing the truth is going to put them at more risk from our enemies. As long as I remain silent, it keeps our enemies from being able to use them and learn that they have a true blood warrior here. Damn it, Tree. I've kept silent to keep from having to watch my brother die the way my mother and father did. I've kept silent to keep from seeing the others be tortured before death."

As I pulled up in front of the Crashdown, I stopped the car and turned off the ignition, "Happy? Now you know." I say and I don't look at her as I add simply, "Goodnight, Tree. Hope you sleep well." I could feel the anger inside me welling up.

~Maria~

Feeling so at one with him, I couldn't believe just how wonderful it was that I was really with him. When he gathered me in his arms and we were on our sides I smiled at him. The gentleness he shows as he reaches up and moves hair away from my face touches my heart and I can't help but sigh.

"I didn't mean to hurt you." His soft words cause my smile to widen as I look into his eyes. Hurt me? Does he mean that small twinge that lasted a short time and at first made me feel like I was being ripped apart only to have it replaced by exquisite pleasure?

"I'm okay, Michael. The pain was more then worth it for what I felt before and after. I never dreamed... that I'd feel so... wonderful." I wasn't really certain what to say. I felt speechless in many ways. "Michael... I always wanted it to be you. I never wanted anyone else and I know I never will." I tell him this even as I simply cuddle into his arms. I have no intention of leaving his side anytime soon or his arms for that matter.

I'd waited to many years to be held by him and nothing was going to make me rush away from it. Just thinking about how happy I am causes my eyes to water as I sigh wistfully. "Why did it take us so long to admit it?"

[StormWolfstone]

~Isabel~

As Alex moves up beside me, he takes my hand in his and I simply smile, "This is all a little surreal for me." His fingers begin caressing my hand and I feel strangely content with it. Maybe it's because I've finally admit what I feel and have finally come to accept that I'm not going to run from my feelings anymore.

"Max..." Alex begins and I realize that he has begun putting other things together as his expression becomes confused, "If you are an...alien, does that mean he is also? He's not telekenetic like he said."

"All we really know is that the four of us hatched looking like six year olds. Max and I were adopted by the Evans and we agreed that we wouldn't ever share the truth with anyone. We believe that our lives depended on our secrecy." I reply, making sure I didn't actually mention Tess or Michael in this, though with Alex's brain, I knew he'd manage to put it together.

I also knew that he'd end up having more questions and as I looked at him I gave him a tentative smile, "I know it's a lot to take in for one night. I'll answer any questions I can whenever you want to ask them." I tell him, my expression openly trusting and for the first time I was being completely open to someone.

[magikhands]

Alex

I listen to Isabel's words trying to make my head comprehend them all. So much had been revealed tonight, so much information has been thrown at me. But as she looks at me, I see the sincerity shining in her eyes. She will answer any question I have about her.

I reach out and let my hand touch her cheek gently. She leans slightly into my touch and I can't stop the smile lighting my lips. Looking into her dark eyes, her words finally sink in. The four of us...she'd said four. She and Max were adopted by the Evans after they were found wandering in the desert. What about the other two?

I think back on our lives. Our group started out as Liz, Teresa, Maria, Kyle, and myself in kindergarden. We were inseperable from the very moment we saw each other. Being Sons and Daughters explains the connection. But then Max and Isabel was added. Then Tess and Michael. Lastly a few years ago was Trevor.

My eyes widened. Michael and Tess each were adopted and had similiar stories as Max and Isabel at being found.

"You said four. You, Max..." I pause a moment replaying memories before deciding to go further. "Tess and Michael. They are the other two."

I shake my head. "All this time...the secret you guys had to keep. I'm sorry that you had to live your life like that." I lower my hand from her cheek and take hold of hers and give it a squeeze. "Now you have someone to share it with." I give a slight smile.

[magikhands]

Michael

"I'm okay, Michael. The pain was more then worth it for what I felt before and after. I never dreamed... that I'd feel so... wonderful." she says with a look of awe on her face. I can't help the smug feeling knowing that it was me who made her feel that way. "Michael... I always wanted it to be you. I never wanted anyone else and I know I never will." She snuggles closer to me and revel in her presence.

"Me either." I shly admit in a soft voice.

"Why did it take us so long to admit it?"

I shrug my shoulders. "I wish I knew... but I suspect it had a little to do with pride. And the fact that I didn't want to put you in danger, to get close to anyone who could be used against me." I reach up and run a hand through her hair and sigh. "I was so stupid." Then I gave a chuckle. "You can take care of yourself quite well." I say remembering what had happened earlier that night in the club. "But now, you have me to help."

ooc: I'll do Teresa later...still trying to figure out how I want her to reply to Trevor

OOC -- A JP with KatnotKath


*Max*

Any idea what next, she asks. I can barely breathe for all the possibilities. So often I’ve thought about this moment, but even in my imagination it was hard to guess what would come next. She knows about me, and she’s not afraid. Anything could happen.

"I don't really think I'm ready to go home, that much is for certain...you think you can stand having me around a little longer...?" Liz asks. "Maybe we could just talk a bit...about this, or...something else if you wanted..."

A little longer? I want to have her around forever. For a dozen forevers. Her hand on my arm sends shivers through my soul. I can’t believe she’s so near, touching me. Her fingers are so soft, her touch so warm and gentle… I swallow hard, not sure if I even remember how to speak.

“I’ll tell you anything you want to know, Liz. I don’t want to have any secrets from you any longer,” I tell her. She knows the biggest secret I’ve ever carried. She knows how much I’ve wanted to be with her, to share moments like this. She also knows I’m an alien and she’s not afraid. And I want to know all about her, too, all the secret things she’s never shared with anyone, if she’ll let me.

Almost without my willing it, my other hand reaches across her body, touching her shoulder, before dropping to a more acceptable position. I take each of her hands in one of mine, feeling lost as I look into her eyes.

~Liz~

As Max again says he'll tell me anything he wants to know, right at this moment in time I find that all the questions I did have filling my head have gone... Instead, all I can think about is how wonderful his touch feels as his hand 'grazes' my shoulder for a moment before taking my other hand. I think he's expecting me to ask questions as he looks down, but for myself, I find I feel like I'm drowning in those wonderful deep, amber eyes which I've wanted for so long to see, and know they're looking at me... What do I want to say, nothing...I don't want to do anything to disturb this, I want to enjoy every moment... I swallow and blink.

I swallow and blink. "Is this real...?" I murmur, hardly even noticing I've spoken outloud as I wonder about just being here with him like this... I'm so scared that I'm going to do something or move, and I'll wake up and find it's just a dream... A wonderful, amazing, beautiful dream..


*Max*

“I hope so,” I say, my voice barely louder than a whisper. I can’t believe this. The things I’m feeling, the way she’s acting. It’s almost more than I can handle. Far more than I’d ever hoped or dreamed before.

“If this is a dream, don’t you dare wake me up,” I tell her, gazing into her eyes. They’re so deep and brown and perfect. Like her hair, so smooth and wonderfully rich. I release one of her hands so I can run mine down over those silky tresses. They’re twice as soft and amazing as I’d imagined. Maybe it is a dream. Could I possibly be lucky enough to actually be living this?

“… at least,” I say, swallowing my nervousness. “… at least not until I’ve had a chance to…” I can’t even say it. I can’t dare break this spell. I lean closer, bringing my lips close to hers. In a moment, I’m touching her, my mouth on her lush rosy lips. My eyes close as I sink into the sweet sensation. Suddenly, I know just what heaven would feel like. This makes every moment of aching longing worthwhile.

~Liz~

Before I realize what's happening, Max suddenly leans closer and a moment later his lips touch mine. This is amazing... I've imagined kissing him so many times, but nothing like this... It's just like...a miracle... In one night I've gone from believing that nothing could ever happen, from trying hide my feelings, to...this... I press back against his lips for just a moment, and it feels so right... As I pull back, my lips feel as though they're on fire, and I'm almost afraid to open my eyes again, afraid I'm going to wake up, and never wanting this moment to end. I swallow and open my eyes once more, finding that I'm looking into that wonderful warm gaze of his once more. I look around a moment, trying to get my head around the fact that this is real, before turning back to him.

"You're still here..." I comment, knowing that it sound pretty silly and yet unable to help myself. I breathe in deeply, trying to work out what to say, and I have to say there's only one thing that comes to mind. "That was...amazing..."

*Max*

“Yeah…” I say. “So are you.” That kiss was the most amazing thing I’ve known in my whole life and so far I’m not waking up. Could it really be that this isn’t a dream? “I think… I think it really happened. Liz … I’ve wanted to do that for so long …”

I trace her lips again with on finger, so scared that I’ve gone so far, but she hasn’t turned away yet. She’s still looking at me like I’m something that she actually wants to see. “So much better than I’d ever dreamed,” I tell her, still amazed that she let me kiss her. I can’t even ask for more.

“No matter what happens after today, this is … “ I break off then, not even sure what to say next. ‘I love you,’ rings through my mind, but I can’t say it. It’s too much, I know it is. “ … perfect,” I finish.

[KatnotKath]

~Liz~

"So are you."

He traces my lips with his finger, and I hold my breath my chest tight and my breathing shallow.

"So much better than I ever dreamed..."

I feel almost like asking him to repeat that, still hardly daring to hope that this is real. Max is actually telling me that he wanted to kiss me... We actually kissed... It's been part of my dreams for so long, but I never truely expected him to reciprocate... We've been best friends for so long, I could talk to him about anything...except that...

I was scared to let him get that close to me, scared to tell him that I was a freak, scared I was going to lose him...

He's here now, he's here, knowing the real me, and he's not turning away... He's here, seeing me, and telling me that...I don't know, that he cares for me...?

"No matter what happens after today, this is...perfect..."

I have to agree, but then after today...what will happen...? Will I go back to Mena, Cameron and Adam...will I risk my life for something I don't really understand...?

And what will happen to Max and I...? Will he decide this is a mistake, will he decide we should just forget all about this having happened and go back to being friends...?

I swallow and look back at him, knowing that I have to ask... "What do you want to happen after today...?"

~Isabel~

When Alex lifts his hand to gently cup my cheek, I can't keep from leaning into his touch. His smile warms me before I suddenly see his eyes widen. "You said four. You, Max..." I can almost imagine the wheels turning in his mind as he begins thinking. "Tess and Michael. They are the other two."

"Michael was the first one that Max and I realized was like us. Tess a year later. Tess didn't come out of her pod at the same time as Michael, Max and I so we weren't aware of a fourth. But, when we met Tess, we rememebered there being a fourth pod. She came out almost two months after we did."

"All this time...the secret you guys had to keep. I'm sorry that you had to live your life like that." He lowers his hand and takes mine giving it a squeeze as he continues, "Now you have someone to share it with."

I smile seeing his smile and simply gaze at him with silence for a moment. "We couldn't take the risks to tell anyone before, but there were many times that I wanted to. I wanted to tell you so many times, Alex." I admitted softly as I squeezed his hands and sighed. "I'm glad that it's out now."

I moved a bit closer to him as I continued, "So, any questions? Or do you want to sleep on what you've learned so far and think on things?" As much as I'd rather keep him here with me, talk more, I know that if he stays things might progress faster then I was prepared for. I did want to be held by him for awhile, but I wasn't going to mention it.
