DISTRIBUTION: Put it anywhere as long as you let me know. ~*~*~*~*~*~Come Into My Life 1/? ~*~*~*~*~*~ Isabel woke up to a sound. She threw off her blankets and looked around for the source. She was hot; she was really, really hot. She pushed the blankets off completely and sat up. She didn't have to remember her dream, it was the same one she had been having for the last few days. For all the exhaustion she felt after these dreams, she could have really been having sex with Michael. What she didn't get was, why Michael? Why not Ricky Martin? Or Ben Affleck? Jason Behr? Isabel was startled out of her thoughts by the knocking on her window. Michael at this time? She got up and reluctantly opened the window to let him in. He looked as exhausted as she felt. "Are you alright?" Michael asked. "Don't I LOOK alright?" Isabel snapped. "You look flushed." He said as he closed the window. Isabel ignored that and sat on her bed. "What are you doing her?" she asked. She just wanted him gone; she felt uncomfortable with him there. Michael sat on the bed but as far from her as possible. "I've been having strange dreams about you." He said. Isabel looked up at him and frowned. "Me too." She said. "What kind of dreams?" he asked. Isabel looked down. Michael nodded. "It's mutual, then." He said. "And obviously not normal dreams. There is a reason this is happening." Isabel looked at him with a expression of horror on her face. "I think it is really happening at some level." She said. "What do you mean?" he asked. "I think I am pregnant, Michael." She said. Michael didn't disagree, he had felt it too. He just nodded. ~*~*~*~2 months later~*~*~*~*~ Isabel sat under a tree during lunch. She felt nauseous and not very hungry, for once. The last two months had been hell. She looked around the quad. Max and Liz were sitting together and she really didn't want to intrude. They were still recovering over their initial break up over Tess Harding. She occasionally talked to Michael and he treated her like nothing had ever happened. She would have liked it better if he had just avoided her or given some indication that things had changed. Isabel usually tried her best to avoid him. He made her sick. But when she didn't see him, she was always wondering about him. And she hated herself for caring. Michael had been going steady with Maria for the last month and a half. Maria of course didn't know anything about the pregnancy. And that pissed her off. Why did she have to be the only one worrying about it? She didn't deserve this. Michael was the only other person who knew and a whole lot good that did her. Isabel had also been avoiding Alex. They had gone out on a few dates but every time she was with him, she felt like she was using him. He deserved to know the truth. So she had broken it off with him. In the last month, she had tried dating a few guys but she always felt like she was cheating on Michael or something. And she didn't get that. The jerk deserved to be cheated on! After school, Isabel went to the Crashdown. She saw Tess sitting at a table near the counter and walked to her. "Hey!" Isabel said as she sat opposite her. "Hi!" Tess looked up from her magazine. "You want to go shopping after this?" she asked. Isabel shook her head. "I don't feel all that great." She said. "Hey, Isabel!" Liz said as she came to take her order. Tess reassumed her activity of reading and proceeded to ignored Liz. "What can I get you?" Liz asked. Isabel looked at Tess, who was still pretending that Liz didn't exist, than back at Liz. "We'll have 2 diet cokes, fries, and 2 sundaes, and……" Isabel stopped as she looked at Tess, who was staring at her. "I just want a diet Coke." Tess said, still not looking at Liz. Liz frowned. "OK." She said, and went to get the order. "Are you alright, Isabel?" Tess asked. "Yeah, I am great." She said and looked down at her hands. "You sure act like it." Tess said sarcastically. "What is it?" she asked. "It's really nothing." Isabel insisted. "Isabel…" Tess started. Isabel sighed. She had to tell Tess sooner to later. "I am pregnant." She just blurted it out. "WHAT?"! Tess exclaimed. Isabel glared at her and she lowered her voice. "You are kidding, right?" Isabel shook her head. "I wish." She said. "Who is……." Tess started. "Michael." Isabel said before Tess could finish her question. "WHAT?"! Tess exclaimed again. Isabel looked around the café. "It's a long, complicated story." She said. "But…." Tess started just as Liz came with their food. Tess stopped and waited for Liz to leave. "I don't like her!" she announced. "Now back to Michael." She said. ~*~*~*~*~* "You got pregnant from a dream?" Tess laughed. They were both out in the desert where they had come after leaving Crashdown. Isabel glared at her. "I think so. And it wasn't anything like a real dream. More like dream-walking." Tess lost her smile. "God!" she said. "So it is true!" "That's what I've been telling you!" "How can you be sure?" Tess asked. "I can feel it." Isabel said. "How far along are you?" Tess asked. "Two months…..But I doubt that it's going to be anything like a normal pregnancy." "Oh, really?" Tess said. "And what would be a 'normal' pregnancy, Isabel? A human one? We are NOT one of them and THIS is normal for us!" Isabel looked away. Tess was right and she wished that she could think like that. But unlike Tess, Isabel had been raised by humans. "I am sorry." Tess said. "It's just that I don't want you to feel like it's your fault or that you are not normal" she said. "I know." Isabel said. "Does Michael know?" Tess asked. Isabel nodded. "The JERK!" Tess said. "I bet Maria knows nothing about it." She said more to herself. "Does HE knows?" "I haven't told Max. Just you and Michael." Isabel said. "I think you should start by telling Max. He'll take care of it." Tess said confidently. Isabel couldn't help smiling at Tess' expression. It was just too unfortunate that Max could not see anything past Liz. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Maria was picking up some supplies for her mom when she ran into Tess. "Maria!" Tess exclaimed, seeing her. Maria frowned. Tess was never happy to see her. In fact, she was sure that Tess hated her. She didn't like Tess all that much either, but she was Michael's sister. "Hey, Tess!" Maria said. "What are you doing here?" Tess shrugged. "Shopping. Have you eaten lunch yet?" she asked. "Umm…..No." Maria said. "C'mon! I am buying you lunch." Tess announced happily. As they were sitting down at the table, Tess accidentally on purpose dropped all her bags. Maria bent down to help her pick up the stuff. Tess' stuff consisted of several different pregnancy tests, lots of baby magazines and supplies. Maria looked up at Tess. "What is all this, Tess?" she asked. Tess quickly put away all the things. "It's not what you think." She said. "Really?" Maria said, standing up. "Then what is it?" "This is for Isabel and the baby." Tess said. "Baby?" "Isabel's baby, duh!" Tess said. Maria just stared at her. "Isabel is pregnant? I didn't even know she was dating!" "Ah. It's no one she is dating." Tess said. "It's Michael's." "WHAT?!" Maria exclaimed. "He didn't tell you?" Tess looked horrified. "Geez! I thought you guys were close!" "Tess, how about we take a rain check on that lunch?" Maria said and turned to leave. Tess smiled brightly as Maria left in a hurry. "Goodbye, Maria!" she said. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Isabel entered Max's room. "Max?" she said. He looked up from his magazine. "Oh, hey, Iz." Isabel closed the door. "I have something to tell you." she said and came to sit beside him on the bed. Max put away his magazine. "What is it?" he asked. Isabel looked at him. "I am pregnant, Max" she said softly. Max just looked at her "With Michael's baby." Isabel added. "WHAT?" Max sat up. "You are kidding right?" Isabel totally ignored the question. "I am 2 months along." Max saw that she wasn't kidding. "You mean you guys were....?" "Not really." Isabel said and then proceeded to tell him about the dreams. By the time she was done, Isabel was shaking. "But how is that possible?" Max asked. Isabel just shook her head as Max gathered her in his arms. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Michael was watching TV when Maria burst into his apartment. "What's up with you and Isabel, Michael?" she asked. Michael just stared at her and then turned off the TV. "What are you talking about?" he asked. "Isabel is pregnant." Maria said. Michael frowned. "Tess told me everything. Michael, how could you do that? You could have told me! And Isabel.....poor Isabel! You are such a JERK! I never want to see you again!" Maria said and left, slamming the door shut. ~*~*~*~End part 1~*~*~*~ To be continued........... What do you think so far?
