| Part 6 |
| At 6:30PM the entire Evans family minus Claudia was sitting at the table with the Ramirez's eating a delicious chicken dinne that Liz had made. Liz cooked it especially loaded with hot spices and other fiery sauces for the aliens, leaving 2 pieces of the regular bland kind for her and Jesse. Food was passed around the table as several different conversations began around the table. "So where's Claudia, Liz?" Isabel asked desperate for something to take her mind off what was to be talked about later on. "Oh, she went out to dinner with some friends. She should be back later tonight." Liz replied and smiled encouragingly at Isabel. Knowing full and well how nervous she was. It was actually quite obvious the way she was jumping all over the place and how stiff she held herself. Dinner continued with light chitchat and then the table was cleared and the kids went upstairs to play. The adults gathered in the living room with hot coffee in their mugs. Max took a sip of his coffee laced with tabasco. He set it down and then scooted to the edge of the chair. "Okay Isabel what's this about?" Isabel took a deep breathe and then sighed. "Last night Max, Alex2 had a dream. He came in and told me what it was about. Um, there was a white ghost/man who talked to him. He called himself Alex....." "Wait, ghost/man? Liz..." Max interrupted as he looked at his wife for confirmation. "Exactly Max." Liz answered to his unspoken question. "What did the guy say?" Max turned back to Isabel. "Alex2 told me that he said um... that uh... well that... he said that..." Isabel had trouble finding the words. "Yes??" Max encouraged her gently and patiently. Not pushing at all. What ever it was he assumed that it was hard to say. *It must have really gotten to her whatever it is* Max thought fleetingly as he watched his sister struggle for words. "Alex2 told me that the man said that he loved me and he wanted to meet Alex2 and that he was coming!" Isabel blurted out. Max sat back surprised. Of all the things that she could have said this was one that he didn't expect. "Wait. What is this?" Jesse asked really confused. "It's okay Jesse" Isabel reassured her husband. "O-o-okay. Is it any of this weird freaky alien shit?" Jesse asked "Have you been messing around with anything?" he asked Isabel accusingly. "NO! Jesse NO! That's not what this is." Isabel exclaimed hurriedly. "Then tell me what it is then." Jesse asked cooly. |
