This body would take some getting used to.
Alyssa looked out one of the windows before sighing a bit, thinking of what was happening back home. Was anyone looking for her? Did anyone miss her? She had been gone nearly two months, It would be December back on Earth. She would usually be Christmas shopping for her mother and father, and of course her little brother, and her friends. She would be putting up her Christmas decorations and her tree...
But she was here, on an alien planet, far, far away from home.
"Alyssa, turn back into yourself for a bit, you'll be fine" Axel hissed, slithering into the room. Alyssa looked back to him before raising an eyebrow.
"I wouldn't, I can't move when I'm myself. I'd rather be in this body, where I can move and be a part of daily life, not confined to a chair"
"Alyssa, I don't think you would like this place any more then you would like being confined to a chair. There is nothing for you to do here"
"Then why bring me here?"
"To show the counsel there are more species capable of breeding with us"
"Wait, what did you say?"
"Nothing... Nothing"
"There are more aliens out there?"
"Well, of course there are. You didn't think we were the only ones, did you?"
"Well, no but can you blame me?"
"Not really, Earth is a baby planet after all. Your race still has so much to learn"
"Yes, like intergalactic space travel" Alyssa jokes before looking at Axel. Axel nods before looking out the window to the city.
"Want to know what I would be doing right now if I was back on Earth?"
"What?" Axel asks. Alyssa gives a soft sigh before looking to him.
"I would be hanging Christmas lights and decorating my house for Christmas, and I'm sure people are wondering what's happened to me"
"What is Christmas?"
"It's a holiday... Long story" Alyssa nodded before slithering away from the window. Axel followed her, looking confused.
"Please, tell me about it"
"Well, Christmas is a time when we give thanks and to celebrate family. It started a long, long time ago when a woman gave birth to a baby, but she claimed she was a virgin, and to be honest, I think she lied about the whole thing. Anyway, we celebrate his birthday and open presents and there's a fat guy named Santa invented in the 50's by Coca-Cola, but hey, you're never too old to believe in Santa. Anyway, it's the season of Joy and we just try to forget all the bad things that have happened. So yeah, I'd be decorating for that" Alyssa explained, picking up Balthazar, who was playing around with Alyssa's cell phone.
"So, what else do you do during this... Season?" Axel asked. Alyssa shrugged.
"Go to the mall, find presents for my family and friends, make snowmen if it snowed... sit and watch Holiday specials while drinking hot chocolate..." Alyssa smiled. Axel watched her before shaking his head.
"Humans are so strange..." He mumbled, slithering off. Balthazar looked to his mother before giggling.
" Phone!"
"Yup... that's my phone, which you have... Lovingly destroyed and tried to eat. Thanks for that" Alyssa sighed, looking at the battered and beaten, half eaten phone. Balthazar giggled.
"Mommy have more babies?"
"Yes, they'll be here soon, don't worry. Then I'll be pretty again" Alyssa joked, slithering back to the window before sighing.
"Mommy want more babies?"
"I might, maybe a human baby for once. This is starting to get ridiculous. Maybe I just need a break, I mean, I've been doing this for nearly a year now. What do you think Bal?" Alyssa asked. Balthazar grinned before hugging his mothers scaly belly, giggling.
"Mommy is cuddly like this, I like" Balthazar smiles. Alyssa just smiles before moving towards the couch, sitting down the best she could. She missed her life, her home, going out with her friends... Maybe she could ask Axel if they could maybe take a break from all of this.
"Are you alright?" Axel asked, slithering back into the room. Alyssa looked up to the reptilian Alien before nodding. " Yes, I'm fine, But i have a question"
"Oh? Do ask"
"Well, I was wondering if I could maybe... take a break"
"A break? From what?"
"From, well, This life. I just want... I want to go back to the life I had before I met you, Only for a little while."
"But, if you take a break, we might be behind!"
"Behind on what?"
"On repopulating"
"But Axel, sometimes we need a break! Humans get tired of things very quickly!"
"But I thought you wanted to help me... Help us, Save us all!"
"I do! Don't think I don't, I just... Want a break" Alyssa sighs. Axel slithers over, reaching his hand to feel Alyssa's belly.
"Maybe... Maybe I have been working you a little hard lately... When we get back, You may have a short break. But from then on, You're going to be worked a little harder, alright?"
Alyssa looks down before nodding, placing her hand on her belly before looking at Axel.
"I understand" She sighs, slithering back over to the window. Axel raised an eyebrow before smiling some.
"Would you like to meet others? The other women who have accepted our plea for help. I'm sure they would like to meet you" Axel smirks. Alyssa nods, looking opt him.
"Alright then..." She nods, watching a few people pass by. Axel slithered over to the door, looking to her.
"I won't be long" He nods, disappearing outside.
It was a while later before he returned; Alyssa was sleeping on the couch and Balthazar was still playing around with Alyssa's now warranty-voided phone.  The large alien slithered over towards Alyssa, gently shaking her.
"Alyssa, wake up."
"Muf... Why?" Alyssa groggily asks, looking up to the Alien. Axel gently reached down to rub her belly, smiling.
"We have people to meet" He nods. Alyssa mumbled something before sitting up, looking up to the other.
"Who?"
"The others" He nodded.
Soon, the two of them were in a large room. Axel instructed Alyssa to sit on one of the couches, staying in her alien form. Axel left the room before the door opened and something came into the room.
"Um.. Hello?" Came a voice. Alyssa looked over before smiling.
"Hello" She replied. Something moved from the shadows before appearing on one of the other couches in the room. It looked almost like a very tall Praying Mantis, only with four eyes. Alyssa looked at the creature before raising an eyebrow.
"You look like a Mantis"
"A what?" the creature asked, blinking two of its eyes at Alyssa.
"Ohh... a little creature where I'm from"
"Where is it that you are from?"
"Earth. I'm just using this form because it's easier to move"
"My species was made for breeding, we can carry up to twenty younglings at once" The Insect-Alien nodded. Alyssa looked down for a moment before looking back up.
"Mine were only meant to carry one, but we can carry up to eight, even more. But it's very rare"
"Wow, such a simple race"
"Humans are like that though" Came another voice. "Simple creatures with simple motives. Babies, really"
"Excuse me?" Alyssa asked as a taller alien arrived. It stood on two legs, and looked like a human, but has a large bird-like face with a beak. She was taller then Alyssa or the other alien, standing around ten feet. Alyssa looked up to the other, taken aback.
"Humans. They are so Simple that they don't understand Universal language. I've heard they're still wondering who built the pyramids"
"Who did build the Pyramids?"
"Why, my race did, many eons ago. They worshipped us like Gods, It was amazing! I tell ya, Anubis and Horus got a mighty kick out of it"
"... You're race helped the Egyptians? Did you make Stone Hedge too?"
"No, that was us" Came another voice. "We built it as a prank, I've heard that Humans are still trying to figure out what it means"
Alyssa soon found herself in the middle of a large group of different aliens, all female, all from different planets. They all sat on the couches and chairs, some sat on the floor. There were about twenty of them in total. Alyssa deduced something else about all of the women in the room. Even though they were form different planets, they each carried their young.  Alyssa became lost in thought before there was a tap on her shoulder. She looked up to see a yellow skinned – cat like Alien watching her.
"You're from Earth, right?"
"Um... Yes"
"I'm from Venus!"
"... There's life on Venus?"
"Yup! I didn't think there was life on Earth! It's too cold for any of my kind to go"
"Hey... do you know if there is life on Mars?"
"No, just a bunch of Hotels and Resorts to get away to. Sometimes they find these strange things on the planet, like, little robotic things and they turn them into statues"
"Oh... that would be from Earth then"
"it's so strange, we're from the same Galaxy and Solar System and we didn't even know each other existed!"
"I guess so. Is there anyone from Pluto?"
"The Dog planet? Nah, the Dog girl didn't come, had some problems"
"Ohh..."
"Are you going to the competition this year?"
"What one?" Alyssa asked. The girl cocked her head.
"The beauty contest on Mars! We've never had an Earth-dweller compete"
"It would be over by the time I got there.."
"Ohh... Well,  Do you have any questions?"
"Umm.. a few. Are all the people here...?"
"With young? Yep! Some you can't even tell, isn't it weird?"
"Yes, it is. Must be nice not to get stared at"
"What do you mean?"
"It's a long story" Alyssa nodded, laughing slightly.
Time flew and before she realized, Axel was waiting for her. Alyssa made her way out of the group of women-aliens before smiling when she saw him.
"How was it?" He asked, taking her hand. Alyssa looked down before looking back up to him.
"It was... enlightening. I never realized there were so many Aliens in the universe!"
"Alyssa, all those females are from the Milky Way Galaxy.  There are plenty more places in the Universe where life lives"
"Wow..."
"Unfortunately, Earth is a little... too young to realize that. Besides, your planet is the only planet that we have found that Males and Females aren't together forever."
"You mean, everyone else in the universe only has one partner their entire life?" Alyssa asked. Axel nodded as they slithered into the house.
"Only on Earth you will find a Male and Female together for a short time, or a long time. It's strange to see that"
"It's what we call Dating and Marriage. You have to date a few people in order to find who you love, and when you love someone , you marry them"
"That is a strange concept.  We here often fight over the opposite sex, to show dominance and power"
"Just like animals"
"What do you mean?"
"Animals on Earth do that."
"Ohh. Well, that shouldn't matter anyways. You are mine now, and I don't think anyone can take you from me"
Alyssa stayed silent before looking down.
"I guess... I guess I am" She sighed, thinking of a certain Human.
Have fun.
I have no clue where my inspiration for this came from, Just winding down the last 4 chapters until the end I guess.

I respect Axel for willing to give Alyssa a break but can he stop treating Alyssa like his property and dominant male attitude gets you in trouble these days
