Title: Don't Tell Author: Lori Category: Michael/Isabel Title: Don't Tell....PG13 Disclaimer...If only I owned themm...The WB and the creators of ROSWELL do. Summary: Mrs. Evans finds out more than she ever wanted to know... PLEASE give feedback of any kind!:) ************* Diane Evans entered the kitchen after leaving work early. She walked into the living room and called out, "Max? Isabel? I'm home. What would you like for dinner tonight?" She was mildly suprised when no answer was forth coming. "Max? Isabel?", she called out as she climbed the stairs. As she approached the bedrooms she heard noises coming from Isabel's. She slowed her steps as she realized what she was hearing. "Oh God, Michael, don't stop! Oh,yes,yes! Ohhh, right there,yesss! Awww!",Isabel said in a throaty voice. Diane opened the door slowly and her hand flew to her mouth stiffling a gasp. Isabel was naked on her bed in the throes of an orgasm, her legs over Michael's shoulders as he went down on her. "Oh my God!", cried out Diane Evans, her voice shaking. Isabel and Michael both jumped and turned toward the door. "MOM!",exclaimed a dismayed Isabel. "Oh Shit!",said Michael at the same time ,covering them both up. Diane turned around and walked downstairs on shaky legs , her stomach revolting against what she had seen. Isabel and Michael stared at the retreating form as Isabel began to cry. "What have I done? My mom is never going to forgive me Michael", she sobbed. Michael reached over to caress her hair and hold her as she cried. This was not good. They had gotten lax in being aware of where they were. Mrs. Evans was sure to tell her husband and Max would find out and then Michael's ass was sure to be kicked. He hated that Isabel was so upset and that he was the cause. He loved her to much to ever want to hurt intentionally. "Isabel, I'm going to go down and talk to her. I don't know what I'm going to say, but I will try, okay?", said Michael, trying to sooth her. "NO,Michael! Don't go near her, I will go and talk to her. I'm her daughter and she maybe she will listen to me." Michael shook his head , his temper beginning to flare. "Isabel, I've told you before, she isn't your mother and you're not her daughter...not really. You don't need her approval." Isabel looked at him sadly and said,"Michael, I thought you understood that she is and always will be my mother reguardless of what my mother from our planet said. Diane Evans has raised me and loved me ,and I love her. I don't want to hurt her or cause her to be disapointed in me." Michael searched her eyes and saw her pain in his not understanding. Without growing up with that kind of love and caring he just couldn't identify. But if Isabel needed the Evans's that much, then he would not begrudge her a mother any more. "Okay Is, you go and talk to her. But you understand this. I will not let anyone hurt you. I love you to much and will not stand by and let anyone cause you pain", said Michael evenly. Isabel nodded and got up and began to dress. Michael put on his clothes and sat on the bed. "Do you want me to wait here for you?", he asked. She shook her head. "It would be better if you left. I will call you when it is over." Michael got up and went over to her and kissed her, holding her in a tight embrace. Then he turned and went out her window. Isabel took some deep breaths and started downstairs. Diane Evans was pacing, her hands rubbing up and down her arms as if chilled. Tears were streaming down her face. Isabel stood and watched her, the pain in her heart at seeing her mother this way almost to much to bear. "Mom?", she called softly. Diane stopped and turned to face her daughter. "How long has this been going on?", she asked in a raspy voice. Isabel knew that any answer she gave would hurt Diane so she told her the truth. "About 4 months." Diane closed her eyes and opened them again to ask, "Just oral sex or more?", not really wanting to know the answer. "Mom...", Isabel glanced away, tears rolling down her face. "Is it more Isabel?", Diane persisted. Isabel looked away ,and then biting her lip, she looked back at Diane."Yes." Diane swallowed hard and sat down, her hands covering her face. Finally she looked at Isabel and asked, "Do you use protection?" Isabel felt her stomach begin to roll. Please don't let me be sick, please don't let me be sick! She shook her head. "No." "How could you not use protection Isabel? Have you not listened when we talked about safe sex when we did your homework?", cried Diane in dismay. "What if you get pregnant? What will Michael do? Will he be there for you to raise a baby? This is not a game!" "Mom you don't understand...", began Isabel, but she was interrupted by Max entering the room. Max immediatley saw that something was not right with the women in his family. "What's wrong? Mom is it Dad? Has something happened to Dad?",he asked anxiously ,going to Diane and putting his arms around her. "Max please leave Isabel and I alone right now. We need to discuss some things", said Diane quietly. Max looked at Isabel who avoided his eyes. This was not good. What had his sister done to upset them both so bad? He then froze. Had Isabel told their Mom about them being aliens? If so why wouldn't his mother want to talk to him too? "Mom, maybe I can help...you might could use a third head", said Max trying to lighten the mood. "Max, mom is right, please just leave us alone", said Isabel, hoping that Max would leave. Diane shook her head. "No , Isabel, Max is right. Maybe he can shed some light on why you have done what you've done." Isabel got up and crossed the room away from her mother and Max. This was not going good at all and it was about to get worse if she knew her brother. Max looked at his mother and then at Isabel. "Well, what is it?",he asked apprehensively. Diane looked at Isabel's back and then said,"Max , do you know why your sister is having sex with Michael? He is the only one isn't he?",she asked Isabel. Isabel swung around , her mouth open in shock. "I',m not a whore Mom! I have only made love with Michael." Max was stunned. Isabel and Michael having sex together? He looked at his sister. He got up and went to her. "Is that the truth Is? Are you really sleeping with Michael? What were you guys thinking? That has to be the dumbest thing either of you has ever done! I can see Michael, but you! I thought you were smarter than that." "Shut up Max! You don't know anything about it! I'm in love with Michael and he is in love with me! We are meant to be together and we want to be together." Max stared at her shcoked. Under his breath he asked,"Isabel, is this about the whole Destiny thing? If it is, you know that we make our own destinies and this is just Michael's way to have sex with you. You could be anyone" , he finished cruelly. Isabel slapped him. She didn't realize she had done it until she felt the pain in her hand. They stared at one another in shock as Diane jumped up and came to stand between them. "Max! Isabel! That is enough! This is not solving anything! Let's just sit down and catch our breaths." "Max, I'm sorry...I don't....", Isabel stammered,crying again. Max couldn't believe she had hit him. What was happening to her? "Mom, Max you've got to understand that Michael and I LOVE each other and are going to spend our lives together. Nothing you say can or will change that. Please try and understand", pleaded Isabel. She looked at Max and saw his doubt and anger. Without thinking she said,"Max, you know what the book and our mother said about out destiny...Michael and I are destined to be together." She does not see Diane's face or notice Max's shock and anger at her disclosure. "Michael and I have discovered we have true feelings of love for one another and we want to be together with our baby", she rushes on. Isabel realizes what she has revealed when she hears Diane's sharp intake. "Isabel what have you done?", whispers Max. Diane shakes her head. "You have seen your natural mother and didn't tell me? What book would tell you that you and Michael should be together?....Are you pregnant?" This was to much for Diane to take in and she collapsed on the floor. "MOM!", screamed Isabel rushing to her. Max pulled Isabel away and yelled,"I told you she couldn't handle being told anything about us. If she can't handle this, how would she handle being told we are aliens? She wouldn't Isabel. She would turn against us! Now do you understand? I can't believe you told her so much. We agreed to never tell her!" Isabel couldn't believe she had almost revealed that they were aliens. Max and Michael had been right. Her mother couldn't handle it. She could never share that with her. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Max. I just wanted you to understand about Michael and me. That's all." Max looked at her and asked,"Are you pregnant Is?" Isabel shook her head."Not yet, but I hope to be. Max just try and understand. Don't begrudge Michael and I any happiness. You have Liz and we accept this , so please try and accept us." Max looked at his distraught sister and after a moment nodded his head. "Okay, Is. I will try." He looked down at their mother and said, "Maybe we can get her to come around. Let's just hope she doesn't tell Dad". Isabel shivered at the thought. Her father would kill Michael. Maybe her too. Diane Evans came to and rubbed her head. Max and Isabel stood over her looking concerned. "What happened?", she asked. Max and Isabel looked at one another and then Max asked,"You don't remember?" "No. I remember coming in and putting my things down and calling to you to ask what you wanted for dinner and then I woke up. How did I get here?", she asked confused. Max and Isabel agreed with silent looks not to tell Diane the whole story. Maybe she would never remember. "We don't know Mom. We came in and found you on the floor. Did you eat today? Maybe your blood sugar is messed up again. Remember when you passed out before when that happened?", said Max. Isabel shot him a greatful glance. She hated lying to her mother, but Max had been right their mother not being able to accept them as alisn's. Max gave her a slight smile back. Michael's door opened and he turned thinking it was Isabel. Max stood in the door way, and Michael thought he had never seen him look more pissed. "Max." Max walked towards Michael until he stood toe to toe with him. He looked Michael in the eyes, struggling with his feelings. "Michael, do you have any idea what you have put my family through? Not only are you sleeping with my sister, but you left her to confront our mother alone." Michael felt his own temper rise."I wanted to talk to your mom, but Isabel wouldn't let me. She wanted to do this alone. Said her mom would take it better from her. That unconditional love thing." Michael paused. "She did accetp it didn't she?" Isabel had been so sure that he had left. What if it had not played that way? Max walked away form Michael before turning and answering. "No, she did not take it well. She practically called her a whore." Michael stiffened at that. His Isabel wasn't a whore and he hated himself for leaving her to face her mother alone. "She also all but told our mother about out planet and the destinies", added Max. Michael couldn't believe what he was hearing. Isabel wouldn't do that. She must have been really upset to have done that. "What did your mom do?", asked Michael leaning his head back and staring at the ceiling. "She fainted." "She what?", asked Michael, his head snapping back. "He said she fainted", said Isabel as she entered the room. Michael went to her with his arms open and held her to him tight. "Oh babe, I'm so sorry. I should never have let you do this alone.", he whispered into her hair. Isabel squeezed her eyes shut and clung to Michael. Tears fell on Michael's shirt as she cried quietly. Max felt like an interloper as watched this display between his sister and his best friend. He always thought that they acted like siblings the way they fought and teased. But watching them now he realized that Isabel had more than spoken the truth about their love for one another. Isabel pulled back ,finally dry eyed. Max approached them. "You two are going to have to be careful. Having sex is great and all, but what if Isabel gets pregnant? Our parents won't accept it. And Alex and Maria may have new people in their lives, but that doesn't mean that they would not be upset by this." "Max, we are not going to hide from everyone anymore. I want everyone to know how I feel about Isabel. And if she gets pregnant, then so be it. When you told us she wasn't pregnant, we were both devestated. We wanted that baby so badly. So people will just have to get used to us together", said Michael. Isabel hooked her arm around Michael's waist and leaned her head on his chest. "Max, it's like I said, accept us or ..." "Or what Is?", asked Max. "Or we leave Roswell", finished Michael, stroking Isabel's arm. "I see. You'll leave if I don't accept you being together". Max walked toward the door and then turned. Michael and Isabel watched him, both fearing that he would walk out the door and turn away from them forever. "Just don't make me an uncle until we graduate in a few months", Max said grinning as he turned and walked out the door. Isabel and Michael looked at each other and and then he kissed her slowly and deeply. "I can't make any promises, can you?", he said. She smiled and shook her head. The End
