The midsummer's night sky is littered with stars complimenting the clear
Christmas lights strung across the rooftop of the converted warehouse. Teresa had enlisted the help of everyone to help turn the rooftop into her own personal paradise including a garden and plush outdoor furniture. It's been a long stressful day for the Human/Alien alliance and the soothing songs from the CD player romances the night into one of those rare moments when all is right with the world. Sondra had promised to get started on the blood, urine and sperm analysis as soon as possible and has taken extra security measures to make sure the samples and results will never fall into the wrong hands. There are a couple of more tests that she would like to perform but she doesn't have the equipment or access to it without alerting others that she's using it - mainly the hospital. Kyle is the only one missing from this impromptu soiree because he had a date, which does not make Teresa a happy camper but she's putting on a good front. "Michael, dance with me?" Maria grabs his hands and pulls against his resistance until he concedes and they begin a nice slow sensuous dance to a sultry sound. Michael pulls away from her a little to look into her eyes, "We've never danced before." "I know, I didn't think you knew how." Maria counters curious of who taught him. "Liz." He utters out of the blue. "Liz, what?" She shakes her head not knowing why he just said Liz's name. "Liz taught me how to dance. After work sometimes we would listen to music and eventually we started to dance." He then swings her around, brings her back into his arms before dipping her with graceful finesse. Everyone starts to clap and hoot at the Human/Alien answer to Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. Isabel and Alex and Sondra and Teresa soon pair up, and then switch partners to dance, lip sync and just plain have fun for a change. Max and Liz are reclined in one of the lounge chairs content to just laze in each other's arms when "You make me feel" by Jeremy Tobrak comes on the radio. "Liz, They're playing our song. Dance with me." He is standing next to her with his hand extended for her to take. "I would love to," as she places her hand into his outstretched one. They've been dancing for a few moments and Max has even ventured to sing along with the song, for her ears only of course. Having her so close to him and the intense love that he feels primes him for a flash. He envisions Liz giving birth to their son, and of himself changing diapers and lastly of him playing catch when a little boy much like his dad and he had done. "Liz," He pulls away just enough to look into her eyes. "Can we name our first son Philip?" A smile curves his lips as he commits to a lifetime with the women he loves. Tears sting her eyes, as she comprehends what that one statement means. She nods and bits her lip before she's recovered enough to voice just one word. "Yes." |
