Prologue :

Max woke up in a start and sat on his bed. He had heard something but his brain was too weak to realize what it was.
He shook his head, trying to recover his senses and he heard it. The baby’s cries. His baby’s cries.
He struggled out of the bed and almost run on the living where his son’s crib had been installed.
He took sight of the little bundle that was now squirming on the blanket. He carefully carried him in his arms cradling him again his chest. “Chut little man. Daddy’s here…daddy’s here.”
He realized what he had told after saying it. He had called himself Daddy. Yes, it was it. He was a father now, a daddy.
It brought a smile in his lips. The little baby had stopped to cry at the sound of his father’s calm breath.
Max continued to stroke his little back until he fell asleep himself, feeling safe and happy… almost.

So guy, I hope you like it. If you feedback, I'll post more soon...

Sorry guy for thi really little part. this one is short too, but I promise I post more soon. Pleaaaaaase feedback.
Part 1
Isabel smiled when she saw Max lying on the couch sound asleep with his son.
They definitely needed to find a name for this baby; not that Zan wasn’t her kind but it was so…gross.
The baby opened his amber eyes and Isabel smiled to him over Max’s shoulder. The baby smiled back a toothless grin, and started to chew on Max toddler.
Max woke up when he felt a wet thing on his finger. He slowly opened his eyes just to find his son sucking on his toddler.
“He must be hungry.” He turned his head over his shoulder and took sight of Isabel.
“Is!… You scared me.” Isabel gave him a sheepish smile. “Sorry.”
“It’s OK… You’re right he must be-.” He stopped suddenly when he felt the wetness on his sweatpants. He raised Zan from his laps and blinked at the wet spot on his thigh.
“Shit!”
Isabel couldn’t help the laugh that escape her lips and she struggled not to burst in laughter as she talked. “I…I think he need a change before…”
She quickly left the room and let her laughter burst out.
Max look at his son from where he was perched at the tips of his arms. “Why did you do that to me buddy?”

************
“Ok Max. It’s now time for you to learn how to change a diaper.” Diane stated firmly smiling at her son.
Max gave her a sheepish grin. “Can’t we learn the bottle before?” “Oh no Max. You know well that this puppy eyes don’t work with me!”
Max sight heavily grabbing the diaper his mother was stretching to him. He looked at the little man lying on the bed and saw his lower lips starting quivering.
“You better do that really fast Max. It’s more difficult to change a crying baby.” His mother warned as she left the room.
Max looked at her with the eyes wide opened. He ran after her on the doorway.
“Mom. Where are you going? I need help here!”
“Oh no Max! You can do that by yourself.” She smiled at his afraid look.
“Hey, That’s just a baby!… You better not let him too long or he is going to cry.”
She casually came down the stair, trying not to laugh as Max run back on his room finding a crying baby lying on the bed.

***********
“So how do you think Liz is going to react?” Michael took a bit of his hamburger turning his head toward Maria.
“To what?…oh, Michael how can you eat this things at breakfast-time?!” He just pointed a threatening finger toward her.
“Don’t try to avoid the subject! You know what I’m talking about.” Maria just waved her hands in the air avoiding Michael’s gaze.
“I don’t know!” She gave him a frustrated look. Max looked at her skeptically and followed her in the living room.
“Maria…You’re her best friend! You know her, you know how she could react and-.”
She stopped suddenly in her track and look at Michael with hands on her hips.
How could he ask her that? She was missing Liz probably as much as her own parents. And it was painful to talk about her.
“Michael please stop!” Michael stopped immediately when he saw her eyes. They were moistened with fresh tears and it made him feel guilty.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to make you cry.” He wrapped his arms around her trying to comfort her.
“It’s ok, I just…I miss her Michael.” “Yeah. I know, we all miss her...Maybe not as much as you do but…”
“It’s ok I understand.”
She slowly extracted herself from the warmth of his arms, looking directly in his eyes.
“Michael, I don’t know how she is going to react. I mean…Tess came back with Max’s son and disappeared after letting the little one in Max’s arms… And all this time, she wasn’t there…” She took a deep breath. “ When she is going to come back, she is not going to find Max as she find the love of her life, no, she is going to find a single father…How do you thing she could react to that?”
I hope you like this part. If you want to know how Liz is going to react. Feedback. Kiss.

Part 2
Liz laid flat on her back, her body too weak to move. She had been crying al the night, but she didn’t know what.
After all, she already knew that Max had a son with that bitch. So why was she so broke down?
She should be happy for Max. She should run back in Roswell to meet this little man. Maybe even congratulates Max. Maybe like that she could share his happiness.
But knowing that Tess was now somewhere in earth made her frightening more and more.
Even if she really wanted it, she couldn’t go back to New Mexico. She would write something to Max. A letter, something. And she was sure he would understand what she feared.
Oh god, why did she have to have fell in love with an alien.

************
“So Max, what did you decide?” Phillip asked as all the family sat on the living room.
The tension was high and Diane felt like she was going to faint just waiting for Max’s answer.
Max squirmed on the couch clearing his throat. He had thought of this during almost a week and he was almost sure that he had taken the good decision…almost.
“Well… I think I’m going to ask his custody.”
Diane and Phillip gasped in the same time. The two of them staring at their son like he had grown another head.
Phillip was the first to break the silence. “Are you serious? … I mean, what about college? What about your life? … You know it’s not easy to raise a child!”
Max took a deep breath holding his father gaze.
“I took my decision Dad… I’ve thought about college and I could have mailing-studying or… I don’t know but I find a way…All I know is that he is all I have now.”
Diane looked at him with tears in her eyes. “But you have us. You know we’ll be always there.”
“Yes, I know that but… he is my son Mum.”
Isabel spoke for the first time since the conversation had began. “Mum, Dad. I think Max is old enough to take this decision. He’ll graduate in 5 days and I’m sure he’ll find a way to take care of his son by himself.”
Max gave her a thankful smile and turned back to his parents. “Please Mum Dad… Last year I do the bigger mistake of my life and I realize that you must be angry to know that I do have a son, but I need to learn from my mistake.”
Phillip turned to his wife giving her a knowing look. She just nodded her head and they turned toward Max again.
“Your mum and I have talked this morning and we decided to accept your decision anyway. And we are proud that you do realized that you did a big mistake last year. You were young and all, but it doesn’t explain anything. I mean, you barely knew this girl! And the fact that you’re an … alien or something else is not an excuse… But despite all that we’ll accept your decision and we will help you.”
Phillip looked at Max seriously as a smile made his way on his lips.
“But Max you have to know that it is going to be hard, raising a child is not something easy. There are certain things you can’t control… You just have to look at you and Isabel, we have raised you two the best we could but it didn’t keep you for doing this big mistake… And the fact that you two never told us about your origins until now is a good example too.”
Max gave him a sorry look. “Dad, we couldn’t tell you; it was-.”Phillip cut him before he could go farther.
“I’m not blaming you Max. I just want you to know that there are things you can’t control and you have to be ready for everything. Am I clear enough?”
Max just nodded avoiding his father’s eyes. But Phillip didn’t expect a simple nod.
“Look at me Max.” Max raised his head toward his father’s serious look.
“Am I clear enough?” “Absolutely.”
The determination on Max’s voice brought a smile on Phillip’s lips. He was proud of his son, as he had never been. He knew that Max would be a good father for this little one, but he was afraid that he would miss all this things that he had lived in his own student’s life. All this thing that made him what he was today.
Isabel broke the silence, which had became to begin embarrassing.
“Ok, maybe we could find a name for this baby now! What about… Zack, it’s American but it reminds Zan. Max?”
Before Max could answer the baby clasped his two little hand giving a toothless grin at Isabel from where he was settled on Max laps.
The family started to laugh as the tension finally left the room little by little.

**********
Max shifted the baby’s car seat from on arm to another as he stood in front of the Parker’s house.
The door finally opened revealing a serious Jeff Parker. He smiled coldly as he saw who was on the doorstep. “Max.”
Max smile shyly feeling more embarrassed that he had never been. “Yeah hum… Mr. Parker… Jeff?” He asked trying to be friendly. But Jeff’s answer was cold and without emotion. “Mr. Parker is fine.”
“Hum, well fine Mr. Parker… Can I talk to you for a minute?” “Go on.”
Max stepped aside trying to go inside but Jeff pushed him back gently on the doorstep.
“We can talk here Max.”
Max didn’t try to pushed what he thought could be his future father-in-law.
“As you want Mr. Parker.” “Fine. Go on now.” The cold of his ton startled Max and he stayed speechless for a moment.
He finally recomposed himself as he thought at what he was going to ask.
“Mr. Parker, I know… well, I know that you know that I love Liz and… well, It’s not easy to say… I wanted to surprise Liz when she came back but I think it would be better if I ask you before… Because, … well, my father always told me it was the good way.”
Max smiled trying to cool the mood but Jeff’s face stayed still without any emotions.
“Ok, I go… I wanted to ask you if-.”
Jeff cut him before he could go farther. His eyes cold and showing his anger.
“If you’re here to ask me Liz’s hand it’s no Max. You broke her heart and her life could be ruin now if she hadn’t go in east. So I’m not going to let you break her heart one more time. I forbade you to approach her Max, in any way. You never marry her and I never let you see her one more time. She doesn’t love you Max! … Look at you Max. You’re a single father and you’re just 18. How can you even imagine that you can make her happy? You don’t deserve her Max. So my answer is no I refuse that you marry her.”
Jeff closed the door in this last word letting Max outside speechless. He hadn’t even had the time to ask him the question. And now he was here sitting on the doorstep crying all the tears that his body contained because he had lost the only woman that could make him happy.
His son started to cry on the seat but Max didn’t care for now. He was destroyed completely, close to break down.
So he decided to let it go. He had no time to spend all a summer lying to himself like he had do two years ago. He had any chance do regain Liz’s heart.
He was lost and he would have to live like that.

************
The weeks that followed were without joy. Max was getting up all morning and was going to bed every night just for his son.
This baby had put his life in his hands and he was ready to assume his responsibilities.
The only way he found to resist was to built a wall all around him.
And when the Parker left the town with all their furniture one morning he didn’t care anymore.
They were gone and he hadn’t even saw Liz. Maria hadn’t talk about her and he could have bet that she hadn’t even shown up in the town.
Maybe Mr. Parker was right after all. Maybe Liz didn’t love him anymore.
But he was sure that she had loved him… one day she had loved him.

Part 3
“July the 7, 2005.
I’m Liz Parker and I feel sore. It’s now 3 years 5 months and 2 days that I’ve seen Max Evans for the last time.
I feel empty. This place inside of me that was burning before stopped to live the day my parents send me in Europe.
This travel was the greatest experience in my life, but without Max it wasn’t the same.
Tomorrow I’ll be back to Roswell to celebrate my best friend’s wedding. I’ll be back to the town where I find the only love that counted in all my life. I’ll be back to the town, which gave me the only thing that someone deserves.”

Liz walked slowly on the big hall of the airport, her eyes scanning the place for a known face.
Someone calling behind her drawn her attention and she quickly turned around.
“Hey Liz. I thought you were never going to see me.”
“Michael!” They hugged each other warmly remembering of the time they had spent together with their friends.
“It’s a while since we don’t see you Liz.” Liz smiled to him noticing his cut hair for the first time.
“Yeah. I know. But for you I can’t say that. Maria never stopped to talk about you when she came in London. And now, here I’m, back in the little town of Roswell NM, where you are going to married my best friend!”
They giggled together and Liz couldn’t help to feel how much he seemed happy. He had finally decided to accept his feeling as they were and she felt relieved for him.
“So, I think I better tell you congratulation!” She hugged him again as they laughed.
“Thank you Liz… Hum, you have to excuse Maria, she had an appointment to her doctor today, and she couldn’t come to welcome you. So it’s just you and me until 3 PM.”
“No problem. What do you want to do?”
“Maybe we could stop for lunch in some place. I’m hungry and you must be too after your flight no?”
“Oh yeah! … And it’s great because I have a lot of thing to ask you. The first thing being what came in your head to ask my best friend to marry her?”
He laughed freely and Liz realized that it was the first time she had heard his laugh.
Things had definitely change much while she was gone.

***********
Liz wandered on the mall desperately trying to find a gift for Maria. She had a lot of from Europe but she wanted something personal.
Michael and her had separated just before 2 for letting her wandered in her good old town.
She stepped out of the hundreds store she had come in with a little packet on her hand.
She was ready to go knowing that Michael will be waiting for her in the parking, but a small cry drawn her attention. She turned her head to the side to find a little boy lost in the middle of the mall and anybody seems to remark him.
She approached the little boy carefully kneeling before him. “Hey. Are you lost? Where is your Mummy?”
The little boy locked his eyes with hers, hiccuping. “Daaaddyyyyy.” His cry started to calm down as she took him in her arms, stroking his little back.
“Chut. We are going to find your daddy. I promise.”
“Zack!” A woman called behind her and she turned quickly, surprised. The woman took him from Liz’s arms running her hands up and down his body searching for any damages.
She finally wrapped him in her arms in a death grip. “Oh my god! You’re ok baby.”
She continued to hug him until his cry stopped. “I’m sorry baby. I’m sorry.”
“Wanna daddy.”
“Yea. I know you want your daddy. But you don’t have to escape to find him. What could I have tell him if I’ve lost you?”
Liz cleared her throat behind her trying to draw her attention. The young woman stood up quickly.
Liz could tell she wasn’t holder than her. Maybe even younger.
“Oh sorry.” She held her hand in front of Liz. “I’m Lisa.” Liz shook her hand.
“Liz.”
Lisa tilted her head to the side studying Liz’s face. “Do I know you?”
“I don’t think so… I, I just find your little boy crying here and…”
“Oh yeah. Thank you for that! I thought I’ve lost him… His father is gone for a while and he misses him.”
“I see… Well, I think I better go. My friend waiting for me.”
“Thank you. It was nice to meet you Liz.”
“You too.”
Lisa stopped her before she could go. “Are you sure we don’t know each other? I’m sure I’ve seen you somewhere.”
Liz gave her a shy smile. “I don’t think so. I arrive this morning from the airport.”
“Oh. Right. I must be wrong so. By Liz. Thank you again.”
“You’re welcome.”

*************
Liz ran in the parking when she took sight of Maria and Michael. She tiptoed behind her friend putting her finger on her lips to prevent Michael to say anything.
She bent over Maria’s shoulder. “Are you waiting for someone?”
Maria jumped, placing her hand on her heart as she saw Liz.
“Oh My god! Liz! You frightened me!” She didn’t wait any other seconds to wrap her arms around Liz.
“I missed you so much.”
“Yeah. I missed you too.”
Liz raised her head as she felt Maria sob on her shoulder. It broke her heart to see her cry.
“Hey. Why are you crying? I’m back.”
Maria sniffed on her nose but her tears refused to stop. “I know… it’s just… I missed you so much.” She cried more loudly hugging Liz in a death grip.
Liz gave Michael an interrogative look but he just shrugged his shoulders smiling like a fool.
Maria finally let her go mumbling as she wrapped her arms around Michael’s waist.
“Damn hormone.”
Liz let her gaze wandered between her two friends. What was happening right now? She was lost between a ‘grinning like a fool’ Michael, and an ‘overemotional’ Maria.
“Hey. What’s happen here?”
Maria’s words hit her and she look at her blinking.
“Maria, Is there is something you forgot to tell me last night on the phone?”
Maria gave a smile at Michael and he just nodded. She turned back to Liz the sadness in her eyes completely disappeared.
“I’m pregnant!”

Part 4
“Go on Liz. I know you want to ask me!” Maria stated as she bit in a sandwich.
Liz didn’t hesitate knowing well that her friend knew her better than anyone. She couldn’t lie to her. So she let it go.
“How is Max?”
Maria smiled a knowing smile.
“You’ll have to find this by yourself!” Liz gasped at her answer following her in the living room.
“But, I thought you know what I wanted to ask you? And now-.”
“And I knew! But my answer is: You’ll have to find this by yourself.”
She gripped a paper on the cafe table stretching it toward Liz. “It’s his address. He told me he came back today. So go on Chica.”
“Where was he?”
Maria bit on her bottom lips. “I don’t remember… Something about ‘school’s work’ in LA.”
Liz took a deep breath. She was ready to see him again. She knew it. Son or not, she needed to see him.
She didn’t let Maria or Michael say anything else and left the little house.
Michael turned stunned look toward Maria.
“Did you tell her about Lisa.” she just shrugged her shoulder. “I’m sure she doesn’t care.”

************
Liz shifted awkwardly from one feet to another as she wait for someone to answer at the door.
Her heart pounded against her chest and she felt like she was going to faint, as the door slowly open on… A Woman!
Liz looked at the paper in her hand and back to the young woman on the doorstep. When her eyes crossed the woman’s eyes she recognized her.
“Liz! What are you doing here?”
Liz shook her head trying to regain her senses. What this Lisa girl was doing in Max’s house. Then it hit her. The little boy on the mall. She knew she had seen this eyes somewhere. They were Max’s.
She finally composed herself and smiled at the young woman. “Hey Lisa… is this here Max Evans’s house?”
Lisa smiled at her. “Yeah! So you are one of Max’s friends? I thought your name was Maria?”
“Well actually Maria is another friend.”
“Oh yes.”
When the woman stayed still in front of her Liz started to squirm under her gaze.
“So, is Max here?”
the woman didn’t have time to answer as a little head popped behind the door.
“Hey Zack baby. You remember Liz from the mall? She is your father’s friend.”
“Hi.” He smiled shyly and Liz saw for the first time how much he looked like Max. It was like a little version of Max. And this smile, this smile was the one Max gave her when they were in high school. The ones she had fainted to ignore.
“Hi Zack.” She outstretched her hand toward him. “You know you look exactly like your daddy?”
“’Ria lway say tha… Are yu ‘Ria fwiend?”
Liz smiled at him kneeling before him. “Yes. She is my best friend.”
“Me bester fwiend is uncwe Mick. He and ‘Ria are mawied soon.”
Liz couldn’t help the grin that lit her face as she listened to the little boy. She had missed so much things in her friends’ life. Max had a new life now… He had Lisa. This thought made her almost cry.
“Hey. Do you want to wait for Max? He isn’t there yet. But he is going to arrive.”
Liz stood up feeling awkward. Being with this woman who had probably shared Max’s bed, made her feel really stupid and sad.
“Well, I don’t know… I-.” Lisa cut her before she could refused.
“Please, it would help me a lot. I need to go to the grocery and if you could stay waiting for him. Zack wouldn’t be alone.”
Liz hesitated. Yes, this woman wouldn’t be there but it made her felt awkward to be in Max’s place alone.
“OK.” The words left her mouth without her accord and soon she was seating on the couch squirming like before an interview for a job.
She looked at the picture on the cafe table and could see how Max seemed in peace on each of them.
One was from Lisa and Zack who seemed like one year old. So he had known her soon after her departure.
It broke her heart to know that he had could rebuilt his life so fast and without her.
Lisa came in the room a glowing smile on her face. She stretched Liz a mug and she couldn’t help but notice the wedding ring on her finger.
So they were married. This thought broke her heart a little more. She felt like she wasn’t at her place here right know. Maybe Max didn’t want to see her anymore. It was comprehensive.
But before she could say something Lisa explode in words a little bit like Maria.
“I know where I see you! The other night I couldn’t sleep and I look at Max’s old picture. He has one album with picture of just the two of you.
You seemed really closed.
It wasn’t a question but it wasn’t an affirmation either so Liz just nodded.
“We were.”
There was a silence but Lisa’s eyes fell on the clock. “Oh My god. I’ve to go!”
She stood up quickly. Taking the key from the little table.
“Max is not going back before nine and the diner is ready. You can eat if you want.
Thank you so much Liz. I hope I’ll see you later.”
She was gone before Liz could say a word.
She stayed in front of the door, the mouth slightly open in awe. Until Zack’s small voice woke her up.
“I’m hungry.”

***********
The diner was over in no time. But Liz didn’t touch any food. She was too confused and anxious. Max would be there in less than an hour and the pain on her torn tummy was burning with fear.
So she just stared as the little boy in front of her swallowed his chips one by one.
When he had finished, he leaned his arms on the counter his forehead almost touching Liz’s.
“Daddy show’d me your pictwure.”
Liz smiled back to him. “Really?”
The little boy just nodded, his gazed never quitting Liz’s.
“He said you’re pwetty… And I think twoo.”
Liz smiled suddenly shy in front of the little boy. Max had showed him picture of her. Maybe he wasn’t so mad at her finally.
But if he was despite everything, she would accept it and would leave Roswell the sooner she could.
She desperately needed his friendship and all she could do to have it back was to accept his feeling.

TBC

Thank you to Newyorker18 for all your feedback!!!!!
I'm here now for one week. and I'm going to write a lot!!!!
Here is the fifth part. It's short but I'll post more soon.
Part 5
Max drove through the sleepy town his heart pounding in his chest. Lisa had called him three hours ago saying that Liz Parker was at his place alone with his son.
He had said he would be back at nine and it was past eleven.
Liz was alone at it place. Alone…. Liz Parker… The love of his life…
Oh god….
Maybe he had again the time to go away from the town.
He could call Lisa and tell her that he would be back in one week.
But he thought about it. In one week it would be Maria and Michael wedding. He couldn’t miss that. He was the best man.
Yes he was the best man… but Liz was the bridesmaid.
He had knew since Michael had came to his place to ask him advice about ‘romantic way to ask Maria in marriage’. Yeah he had knew he would see her again finally.
But now that it was time he was feeling like a teenager at his first prom.

He parked his car at the first empty place he found and walked all the way to the house.
The light in the living room was open and he knew immediately that she was there.
In the doorstep he could even felt her scent.
This strawberry scent that was only hers.
He walked slowly in hallways his steps making the littlest noise. He tried to seem cool but he know his voice was going to betray him.
He spoke as he passed the door. “Hey. Someone’s home?”
But there was no answers.

Part 6
Max walked deeper in the room. All was quiet. There was any noise. Just the calm sound of two breathings.
He looked over the couch just to meet Zack in deep sleep, nuzzled in Liz’s arms…
Liz… Her face seemed so relaxed, so peaceful.
It was the first time he was seeing her like that. And it was the first he was seeing her since 3 years.
In front of him was the scene he had dreamed so much times.
He had seen Liz as mother of his child. He had seen Liz as wife of himself. He had seen Liz living with him. He had seen Liz fulfilling her dream.
He had seen all this things but he had never thought that it could happen… And he wouldn’t until a long time.
He recomposed himself walking away from the room. What was happening to him? His breathing was rough and he felt all his body starting to sweat from the bones to the flesh.
Liz Parker was lying on his couch with his own son on her arms.
He glanced on the living room. They were fitting perfectly.
He practically ran in the kitchen splashing water on his face. He had to face this situation.
But when he came back in the room he realized that he had no right to wake her up. He would get no sleep just at the thought that she was somewhere in the place but it didn’t mater.
He slid Zack from Liz’s arms to his and the little boy immediately nuzzled in his strong arms.
He kissed his forehead slightly. With all this he hadn’t even thought at his son which he hadn’t seen since one week.
He laid him back on his little bed nuzzling his teddy bear on his little arms.
It was so strange sometime to look at him and to think it was Tess’s son too. He wasn’t even looking like her.
It even seemed sometimes that he was looking like Liz. There was something in his eyes. A light. Something he was sure wasn’t coming from he or Tess. But something he had seen in Liz’s eyes.
He pulled the cover high on his little chest and just looked at him breathing peacefully.

***********
Liz woke up early this morning feeling the morning light hit her closed eyelids. She opened her eyes putting her elbows behind her as she looked at the room around her.
Where was she?
She was lying in a big bed in a big room, and she was sure it wasn’t in Maria and Michael’s apartment.
They it hit her. The day before she had waited all evening for Max to come back and she had finally fell asleep on the couch the little Zack nuzzled in her arms.
But why was she in this bed right now.
She let her head fell backs on the pillow and was surprised by the familiar scent that surrounded her. Max’s scent. A scent she could never forget.
She was in Max’s bed. He had probably carried her when he had came back. Then she remembered. He strong-arms, the soft kiss on the cheek, an always this same scent.
But if it was right, where was he? And where was Lisa?
She slid her legs over the bed and made her way toward the living room. She passed Zack’s room and looked at him sleeping peacefully for a moment. The smile on her face couldn’t be missed.
This little boy was amazing… Like his father.
She stepped in the living room trying not to do noise. But she stopped suddenly at the view.
Max was lying on the couch his face facing the pillow as he slept on his stomach.
He was wearing just a boxer and the cover had slid on just one leg as the other had fell from the couch and was resting on the air.
She would have closed her eyes if she had could but the view was too impressive.
How could he have fallen asleep on this couch? His height was two-timing the height of the couch and she could see his feet falling from the extremities of it.
Compared to the bed she had slept in all night, it was ridiculous.
What was she supposed to do now? Maybe she would go or maybe she would stay.
She was confused… But not for so long. The phone rang and broke her thought. She was always standing still in the living room but hearing Max groaning at the noise made her move.
She picked up the phone quickly her back facing Max.
“Hello?” She almost whispered.
Maria’s voice was a lot louder.
“Liz! God girlfriend! What are you doing? Oh my god! You slept with him! I can’t believe you two! Its three years that you haven’t see each other and in one night you are going back together! Give me this guy!”
Liz was confused trying not to speak too loud and in the same time trying to stopped a bumping Maria.
“He is sleeping Maria.”
“Oh yeah. You probably wore him out!”
“No! I mean. Maria, we didn’t even talk!”
“What! You just jumped on each other! I can’t believe that!”
“Maria stop it!”
“Stopping what? God, Liz. What came to you! You-.”
“Maria are you going to let me talk!”
“Only if you explain.”
“Maria, Max and I didn’t slept together… just… I wait for him and I fell asleep on the couch. When I woke up this morning, I was in his bed and-.”
“You was asleep! You mean that he rapt you? No It’s not Max!”
“Maria! I tell you I didn’t slept with him! He… he is asleep on the couch right now and if you continue to cry on this phone, it’s going to wake him up!”
There was a silence on the other end of the phone and was practically sure that her friend was crying.
“Maria…”
“No. It’s ok Liz. I’m… I’m just relieved… So you didn’t talk.”
“Well actually we didn’t… we didn’t see… each other awake.”
“Right… What are you going to do?”
“I don’t now… Can you come here…? I just… I feel awkward to be alone here.”
“Why? Maybe I could come in an hour. But right now, it’s seem difficult.”
“Maria…”
But she hadn’t the time to tell her something else. She felt a strong hand on her shoulder and she turned back to meet Max’s eyes.
His voice was soft as every time when he was talking with her.
“Can you give it to me?”
She obeyed. Sliding the phone on his hand practically not hearing his conversation with Maria.
“It’s ok Maria. I’ll drive her back to your apartment… Maria… OK. By.”
He hung up the phone and turned to face Liz.
She was avoiding his gaze like a child who had been caught doing something forbidden.
“Liz.”
It was not a question but not really affirmative either.
“I… I didn’t want to wake you up… sorry.”
She tried to step away but she couldn’t reach the door.

Part 7

“Liz.” She stopped in her track, her back facing him.
“Why are you going?” She felt her heart melting at the desperated in his voice. “Again…”
A lonely tear ran on her cheek. Why was she so afraid to see him? To confront him.
They had been friends, they had been inseparable soul mates, they had said each other everything. During two years they had known that any of them could live without the other.
But things had changed. They had been separated. By the hate and the love. By Zack and Tess. By their own parents.
“You can’t go like that again Liz… I missed you so much every days. Every nights…”
She could heard him crying softly behind her. His words were melting he soul, and in the same time it was like she could feel it come back to life.
She had been hiding her feeling so long that her soul, her heart had finally die; and now Max had made it alive like before.
And her heart was burning again; her soul was burning again. For the only person it had ever burn.
She turned back to face him, meeting his soulful eyes moistened with tears. Or maybe it was her own tears, which made her vision so blurry.
Without any other thought she wrapped her arms around his neck nuzzling herself against his chest.
“I missed you too… So much…”
Max recomposed himself in no time and soon he was wrapping his arms around her petit body, soothing her back.
“Chut. It’s over now… You’re here.”
He used the same voice that he had used all this years with his own son… Zack. The thought made him came back to the reality.
He pushed her back to look in her eyes, an amused look on his face.
“I guess you met Zack.”
Liz smiled behind her tears. “Yes… He is amazing! He looks so much like you! I can’t wait to know him better!”
“He’ll wake up soon. Don’t be so impatient, soon you’ll implore him to let you alone… Cafe?”
She just nodded following him on the kitchen.
“You know Max, I don’t think I could never be tired of a little man who look so much like you.”
Max raised an eyebrow playfully. “What do you mean?”
Liz just smirked feeling suddenly as cool as she had always been in Max’s company.
“I think you’ll have to find this by yourself…” She raised an eyebrow back at him turning with a sexy smile.
She couldn’t believe she was flirting with him right now. But it was so obvious.
Max grabbed her waist before she could go away and started tickling her side in a place he knew she was sensitive.
Her laugher filled the room lightning the moon and breaking the tension.
“I think I find the way to make you spill!” “Nooooo! Max. Please stop that!”
A childish voice made them stopped their seducing game.
“Daddy?” Zack’s voice was again sleepy but when he took sight of his father he ran toward him forgetting all his sleepiness.
He wrapped his little arms around Max’s neck, his black hairs mixing with his father’s.
“Hey, little man! How was the week?”
“I mish’d you.”
Max smirked at his son touching his nose playfully.
“Yeah. Lisa told me for the little adventure at the mall… Didn’t I never tell you to never leave Lisa’s side when I’m not here?”
Max’s voice was firm but not less softly. Zack lowered his head at Max’s lecture.
“Yeah dad.” He then took sight of Liz from the corner of his eyes and his sad face disappeared immediately.
“Liz!” He jumped in her open arms and Max looked at her surprised. Zack had never been so freely cool with strangers. It had taken more than three weeks to let him alone with Lisa. Maria and Michael were the only people with who he wasn’t acting shy and close.
“Daddy. Wanna in’twodwuce.”
Max crossed Liz’s eyes for a moment, the smile never leaving their both faces.
“You don’t have to little man you know. Liz and I are old friends.”
Zack taped one’s foot on the tiled floor. “But I wanna do in’twodwuce yu to my new bester fwiend.”
Max raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t it Michael your BEST friend.”
Zack sighted desperately. “Daddy. Uncwe Mike’s my bester… BEST fwiend BOY. Liz’s my BEST fwiend GIRL.” He emphasized his last word with a sight.
Max shook his head laughing. “Fine. So introduce me to your BEST friend GIRL.”
“Woman b’fore daddy. I’m a gwent’man.”
Liz struggled not to laugh at Max’s stunned look.
Zack took her hand smiling. “Liz mweet my Daddy…”
He took Max’s hand joining it with Liz’s. “Daddy mweet Liz.”
After a silence Zack sight in frustration once again. “Now yu say ‘nwice to mweet yu’.”
He shook his head in disbelief.
Max and Liz hold each other hand to dear life not to burst in laugher in front of the little boy.
Max finally shook Liz’s hand coughing playfully. “Nice to meet you Liz.”
It was more difficult for Liz to hide the laugh from her voice. “Nice to meet you Max… I mean Daddy.”
They smiled to each other, once again lost in each other soulful eyes. Until Zack break their connection.
“Can we play now!?”
The two adults looked at each other and then at Zack, bursting in laugher without motive.

Part 8

“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me Maria! Max is my brother!”
Maria sighed in frustration. It was the first time she had seen her freaked out that way. After all it was just Liz, their old friend.
“And what about Max! He is a big boy! He doesn’t need a babysitter!”
Isabel stopped crossing the room, standing in front of Maria.
“You don’t understand… She did hurt Max really badly! … If she hurts him again I don’t think he could support it!”
“Isabel, once again, Max is a big boy. If he doesn’t want to see her he’ll tell her. But what I’ve understood is that everything is ok. They need to be together for one day, that’s all.”
“One day can lead to be one life!”
“Why are you so afraid Isabel? They are friends… And if they become more than friend in the weeks that’ll follow, then I’ll be really happy for them. ‘Cause they deserve it!”
Isabel shook her head in disbelief. A lonely tears running on her cheek.
“You can’t understand.”
“Why that? I was there for Max too. I know exactly how he was feeling, and I know how he is feeling right now!”
Isabel pointed a threading finger toward Maria.
“If your friend hurts Max once again, she’ll have to confront me!”

************
Max slid the cover around Zack body. “Daddy I don’t wanna do a nap…”
“What did I say little man: If you want to stay awake all the afternoon, you have to do a nap right now.”
“but I not tired.” He hid a yawn behind his little hand and Max smiled at the obvious tiredness on his son’s face.
“Lisa ‘nd Sam’ll be thwere when I’ll ‘ke up?”
Max stroked Zack’s warm cheek as he fight to keep his eyes open.
“I don’t know little man.”
“ ’nd Liz?”
Max stayed silence for a while. If only he could be sure she would stay. If only he could convince her to stay here in Roswell forever.
But it was too soon. And her father had told him the true. Liz wasn’t in love with him anymore. And if she was there today it was as a friend.
If only his heart could accept that like his mind had done so long ago.
Max looked back at his son sound asleep in his bed. He hadn’t wait for his answer. His tiredness had won one more time.
“Sleep tight’ baby.”
He stood up and regained the door tiptoeing but Zack voice drawn his attention.
“Daddy?”
He turned back to him. “Yeah little man?”
“Yu kwnow… yu’re right… I thin’ she is pwretty too.”
This little man was obviously an Evans. He had been trapped in Liz’s filets like him had been so much years ago.
“I know…”
Max smiled back at him but Zack didn’t see it, back in the dream world.

***********
Max made his way back to the little living room and found Liz looking at all the picture that was covering the wall.
She turned to him as she heard his step behind her, and he couldn’t missed the questioning look on her face. He had been her lab partner for too long not to remark this little grimace she was doing everytime she had a question.
Max pointed toward the picture behind her. “It was two years ago. Zack was just one and half. We had just met Lisa three weeks ago.”
Liz looked back at the picture feeling suddenly awkward at the mention of the woman that had took her place on Max’s heart.
She took care not to meet Max’s eyes as she asked.
“ Where is she?”
She didn’t see the confused look on Max’s face. “What do you mean?”
“Lisa? … I mean, I haven’t… I haven’t saw her this morning.”
Max felt more and more confused, but Liz didn’t saw that, too busied at avoiding his gaze.
He sat on the couch behind him, answering like nothing.
“Well, knowing her she must be at the mall right now.”
Liz blinked trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall. It was painful to talk about the way his life had continued after her departure.
How could he had done that to her, how could he had stopped loving her to love another, when her was crying every night the lost of her soul.
She felt her hand squeezed into fist as she held back her anger.
She wanted to know how it had happened. She wanted to know how he had fall in love with a woman like Lisa. She wasn’t even thinking anymore. She needed to know at any price.
“How do you met her?”
Max was so confused that he didn’t remark the way her lips were quivering or the way her voice cracked when she talked. He stayed silent a moment trying to understand why she seemed so interesting in Lisa and the way he had known her.
When he didn’t find any answer at his interrogation, he decided he would answer anyway because it was Liz’s question and that all her questions needed an answer.
“ Well, my mom was working on her case. She was alone and needed a job. So I hired her.”
Liz eyes widened at his words. “You hired her!”
Max looked confused at Liz sudden outburst. “Well, yeah. She needed money and I needed someone here to help me, so I hired her.”
Liz looked at him this time without hesitated at the eye’s contact.
“And that’s all! … I mean, you just hired her and then what? … You became closer
and-.”
Max stopped her, suddenly understanding her reaction. She thought Lisa was her wife… or whatever she could be for a single man.
“Liz, what are you talking about?”
Liz couldn’t contain her tears any longer. He had been her soul mate and she had been his. She couldn’t stop loving him but he can and she needed to know how.
But it suddenly hit her. Maria had never talk to her about a Lisa or any woman, that Max was hanging out with. She was always talking about Max and his little man. But that was all. If there had been something, anything or anyone, she would have told her.
But she had seen the ring and she was sure Lisa had talked to her about a picture on Max bedroom. So she was sleeping in his bed.
But she couldn’t take the risk. She raised her crying face toward a really confuse Max.
“Who is she for you exactly, Max?”
“Well, I think I can call her my housekeeper… She does the shopping and prepares the lunch. And she looks after Zack when I’m working or when I’m gone like this week. In this case she stays here and sends her son to his father… Liz can I know why you want to know all that? … Did… did you think she was… did you think she was like my… wife or something?”
Liz let out a nervous laugh. Lisa was Max’s housekeeper. She wasn’t even living in the house and she had little boy.
A smiled made her way to her lips and she sighed feeling relieved.
But it didn’t take a long time for her to felt more ashamed than relieved. Her cheeks started to burn when she heard Max question.
She had cried all the tears her body contained just because she thought he was sleeping with his housekeeper.
“I’m sorry Max… I really feel stupid.”
Max understood her answer in just this some words. She had think he was sleeping with someone else.
Someway it had hurt him to see her cry and think that he had could love someone other than her. But in another way he felt relieve that she had been so touched.
Maybe the love she had had for him one day hadn’t faded away. Maybe she loved him as much as he loved her.
“You’re not stupid Liz. It’s just…” He couldn’t help the laugh that escaped his lips. Lisa and he! It was so crazy.
Liz tried to change the subject subtly. She didn’t want him to think she was completely obsessed with this girl that had so much importance in his life and in Zack’s life.
“So, she has a son? … She seems so young”
Max sighed as he remembered the sad story his mother had told him when he had met her. A story that was so much likes his.
“She was just 13 when she realized she was pregnant.”
Liz covered her mouth with her hand. 13! She was herself virgin at 21, and she had a good reason for that. But being pregnant at 13!
“Her parents wasn’t really ok with that but they hadn’t any other choice to let her married with the father. So at 15 she was married. Until she could not support anymore that her husband beat her. That’s when she contacted my mother. And she helps her to win divorced but she was too young to have the total custody of the baby.
That’s when I met her. She was searching a job but was to young for anything. My mother proposed me her help for Zack. At this moment, I was really lost between the diapers and the bottles and… and everything. So I accepted. She came to help me and since this day she live in under the house in a little apartment.”
Liz was feeling suddenly really weird to have thought about this girl the way she had did.
She was a beating woman, A single mother.
“What about her son? Did she had the custody now?”
“Sam? Well, not really. He lived with her most of the year but his father has asked to be a part of his life and he could see him one week in the month.”
“How could they let him see his son. He is crazy. He beaten his wife!”
Max couldn’t help but smiled as he recognized Liz in her reaction. She was so… the same.
“Well. It had never been proved that he was beating Sam. But you can be sure that if he do anything to this little man he would have to confront me!”
There was a silence for a moment and they sat on the couch just staring at each other.
“Do you-.” “I’d better-.” Their voices mixed as they talked in the same time. Max bent his head hiding his obvious smile.
He made a move of his hand giving her the parole. “Go before.”
“Well… I was thinking I’d better go… Do you wanted to say something?”
Max heart fell when he heard her say she wanted to go. Well she hadn’t really said she WANTED to go. She had said that like she NEEDED to go. But for him it was the same lost. The lost of her beautiful presence.
“I just wanted to know if you wanted something to eat or drink?”
Liz didn’t answer. She was once again lost in these soulful eyes of him.
And he seemed as lost as she did. He kept looking at her and she didn’t realized when his head leaned close to hers.
Their lips inch way apart from each other but their eyes always locked together like two shining stars that refused to fade away from the sky.
Their lips finally found each other for a light kiss before. Like their first time, Max parted from her lips fast and looked at her for any sight of anger and doubt in her eyes. But like their first time, he didn’t see any. So he leaned close again and kissed her deeply.
Just when he felt her move beneath his, a little voice behind force him to part away from her sweet lips.
He turned his head behind him looking directly in his son sleepy face. This one had really bad timing.
His frustration soon disappeared when he saw the tears running on his cheeks. He held his hand, bringing him on his laps.
“Hey buddy. What’s wrong?”
Zack sniffled as he looked at his daddy face. “I’d a nigh’m… a nigh’mi… I’d a bad dweam.”
He sniffled again and wrapped his arms around Liz neck as he slid on her laps.
She was first surprised but her arms soon made her way behind his little back and stroking him soothingly.
“Shhh… It’s ok sweetheart.”
Max just looked at them and how they interacted around each other. It was less than one day that his son knew her and she was like her mother.
Even Lisa couldn’t replace his soothing arms when Zack had a nightmare. He had always been used to calm him himself.
He remembered one day when Zack was only two. He was working at the UFO and Lisa had called him in the middle of the day, saying Zack was crying and she couldn’t stop him.
Max had been the only one who had been able to calm him.
And now he knew that if Liz had been here it would have never happened.
He wasn’t even jealous when he looked at them. They were fitting perfectly… Like mother and son…
Max forced himself to stop his daydreaming thought. He knew it couldn’t happen.
Liz could never be Zack’s mother.

So here is a new part. Hope you like.
Part 9

“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me!” Maria flinched as Isabel’s voice. She had never seen her friend that way. When she had phoned her to tell her that Liz was back, she thought she would be happy. Instead she hung up and come at her house just to scream even more.
She turned back toward her feeling angrier than ever. “But I told you! I just did it!”
Isabel ran her hands on her short hairs feeling confused and lost. How could she hold on this?
She was here to take care of Max. He was her little brother. She had seen how he had been during all this years away from Liz. It had killed him not to be around her.
He had finally recover and find a great life and now She was back!
“You can not understand Maria. You never saw how much Max was devastated when Liz never show up! If it hadn’t been for Zack’s life, he would have probably killed himself! … Liz ruined his life!”
“How can you say that Isabel! I was here too. I was here when Max freak out! I was here when he didn’t know how to calm Zack’s cries! When he was devastated it wasn’t you he came to see, it was Michael and I! Because we are his friends! You’re not the only one who helped him during those years. I was here. I saw him! … And I’m sorry for telling you this but… I think I’m closer to him than you are. I know him as if he was my own brother! And I can tell that Liz will make him happy now and forever… He didn’t care if she ran away from him or stayed during all this year. When it’s about her, all mater for him is seeing her and knowing that she will be here! …”
Maria touched Isabel’s arm feeling her friend devastated by her words. But it was necessary. To make her understand.
“You’re not his mother Isabel. He is a big boy. He know what’s best for him. And he know, like me, that Liz is the best for him.”
Isabel turned her head when she felt hot tears run on her cheek. She knew Maria was right but she couldn’t accept it. Max had always been her little brother. She had taken care of him when they were young and when they had met Michael they had become a family… and she was the mother.
She couldn’t accept that Max has someone else in his life. But it was true. It wasn’t Max Michael and her anymore. It was the group they had form during this years that was her family. Even Michael had understood that. And she thought she had too but she hadn’t. But it wasn’t the more difficult to accept. The more difficult was that Maria was right about Liz. She was Max’s life and anyone could change that.
She turned away from her two friends and fled, slamming the door behind her.

***********
Liz made her way quickly toward Maria and Michael door. She was ready to knock but the door flew open and she came face to face with Isabel.
She didn’t realize she was crying until she saw her eyes shinning with tears. Their eyes met briefly, the door slammed and Isabel disappeared in the elevator.
Liz stayed shock a moment. The door was closed in front of her and she knocked softly.
She was hearing Maria’s cries and Michael soothing words as he tried to calm her.
She didn’t know what had happened but seeing Isabel’s look it must have been because of her.
Maybe she had better not come back after all. She began to walk back toward the elevator but Michael’s voice stopped her.
“Don’t go.”
She didn’t even turned as she spoke, not wanting to meet his eyes.
“I’m sorry. I better go to Boston. I’m going to ruin your wedding day. I’m not desired here.”
She felt his hand on her shoulder. “Don’t say that. You’re part of the family Liz. We want you here. Not just Maria, me too.”
She stayed silent a moment trying to stop the tears from running on her cheeks.
“But not Isabel.”
The lost of Michael’s hand on her shoulder startled her and she turned to face him.
“I’m not going to hold you back Liz. But you have to know that Isabel was wrong. She’s scared that’s all. She saw when Max was lost without you and she was afraid that he make the same mistakes that he did when you’ll come back to Boston.”
Liz’s curiosity kicked in and she couldn’t resist her question.
“What did he do?”
“I don’t think it’s my duty to say that to you. Max will tell you when he is ready… But you have to know that he is happy.”
She lowered her head not wanting to meet his eyes, but he tilted her chin and look in her eyes a smile on his lips.
“Tell me Liz, how did he react when he saw you?”
Liz gave him a shy smile and without she had to say something, he knew.
“I knew it! … It’s Max Liz. I know him since I’m 8! I know exactly what he wants! … And right now, he wants you.”
Liz knew he was right. Max and her could be friend. She knew that. They were mean to be together in the life. Not as lovers but at last be around each other.
Kissing him this day had been a mistake, but it didn’t mean they couldn’t be friends.
She would talk to him about that. She needed to. She loved him and she didn’t want to loose their friendship.

***********
Author’s note: I know those last two parts were not really active and all but the following will be, I promise. Keep reading… and feedback. Babylisou.

Part 10

Liz tossed and turned on her bed trying to find dreamland. But she couldn’t. What had happen since this two last days was confusing her mind.
In two days, she had come back in her town, found-out that her best friend was pregnant with an alien and she had seen her ex-boyfriend and his son for the first time in three years.
And it wasn’t the worth. She had come to his house and had thought he was married to a woman she didn’t know. She had been jealous like shit and had wanted more than anything to be at her place. But when she had realized she was just the housekeeper, she had kissed him and god only knows where it had could bring her if his son hadn’t stopped them.
And now, she was lying on her bed thinking all she wanted was be his friend… just a friend.
She hadn’t seen him this day to think about it. But it hadn’t change anything. She needed to see him. She needed to talk to him.
She looked at the clock on her nightstand. “2 am. He must be asleep.” She mumbled to herself. But she didn’t care.
Why could he sleep and not her. Maybe he couldn’t sleep either. He was probably as confused as her.
Or maybe he was thinking that everything was back with her that she was going to run back to him and that they could live together happy ever after.
But she couldn’t let him think that. It was like giving him hopes and let him fall with them.
She jumped to her feet and slid a jean on her bare legs. She was going to tell him what she was feeling about him right now: that he was just a friend and that this kiss was a big mistake…

************
Max eyes popped open and shook his head to awake is groggy mind. He switched the light open and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
His gaze fell on Zack sound asleep beside him, the cover tug tightly around him. He seemed so peaceful when he slept.
The sound that had woke him up come back and he realized for the first time that someone was insistently knocking at the door.
He looked at his watch. 2 and half a.m. Who was it?
He slid his legs on the side of the bed and checked on Zack one more time before leaving the room, as the knocks became more insistent.

Liz felt anxiousness took over her as anyone answer at the door. She was here for five minute and anyone had show up.
Her hand fell at her side as she realized he was never going to answer. What was she doing? It was past two in the morning and she was knocking at Max’s door like a madman.
She was becoming crazy. She closed her eyes and inhaled a deep breath before turning on her heels and running back to her car.
She stopped dead on her track as she heard the door opened behind her. Her heart went fast as she heard Max sleepy voice.
“Liz?”
She turned back to face him and met his confused look.
“What are you doing here?”
Liz hesitated an instant? She didn’t even know herself. Heat rose on her cheeks and she felt them burned at his intensive gaze.
“I… I wanted to talk to you.”
She whispered, not wanting him to heard her stupid answer.
“At two and half in the morning?”
She lowered her head. He didn’t seemed mad but she couldn’t hold his gaze anymore.
“I’m… I’m sorry. I… I just needed to tell you that… well… you know about yesterday… and…”
She cut her a smiled curling his lips.
“Liz. You’re babbling.”
She avoided his eyes trying desperately to find the words.
“I know… I just wanted to tell you that I’m sorry…”
Max became suddenly serious. What had she done to come at two in the morning and apologize?
“For what?”
She finally met his eyes and almost lost herself in them.
“For the kiss… I just… I was just caring away and… I didn’t realized what I was doing!”
She posed an instant and looked deeply in his eyes.
“I want us to be friends Max. Not more and not less. What I did yesterday was stupid. And I’m sorry if I gave you false hopes but… I just want us to be friends Max.”
She repeated this sentence wanting to make him understand her point. And most of all to convince her that she was doing the right thing.
When she saw the sad look in his eyes, she couldn’t help but felt like shit. What had she done?
She was so confused with her feeling, she couldn’t handled his sadness. He was looking like a little boy. Like Zack, she thought with a smile.
Tears started to swelled on her eyes as he avoided her gaze.
“Can we be friend Max?” This sentence broke her heart. She wasn’t feeling like that at all.
All she wanted was ran in his arms and hold him for dear life until death break them apart.
She wanted to be Zack’s mother and she wanted to give him brother and sister.
Suddenly she wasn’t thinking rationally but everything was clear in her head. She was in love with Max’s Evans and so was he.
She run in his arms and kissed him more deeply that she had ever done.
He was caught by surprise and first didn’t reply, too shocked to even realized what was happening. One minute ago she was telling him she wanted them to be just friend and then she was kissing him like she hadn’t ever done before.

************
Author’s note: the next part is maybe going to be Rated R or NC-17. I don’t know yet. I’ve to think about it. Depend on feedback.

I know this part is really short but it's just for you to have more. I'll be back soon with part 11b!!! Thank you for the feedback.

Part 11a

Max finally came out of his daze and wrapped his arms around her waist responding her heated kiss. He pushed her inside the house and closed the door with his legs, his mouth never leaving hers.

What were they doing, he didn’t know? He could already feel the heat burning inside of him and the bulge in his boxer wasn’t get unnoticed by Liz. Herself could feel the wetness in her panties for just being in his arms.

Max pinned her against the door devouring her neck and collarbone as her head fell to the side with a loud moan escaping her mouth.
She had never acted this way before. But Max didn’t care. He wasn’t thinking rationally right now. He was in heaven.

************
“Max…”
His name came out of her mouth like a prayer. His room’s door was inch way apart from them and she couldn’t control herself anymore.
She had waited this moment for three long years. And now that it was here, she didn’t care about time and anything else.
She was in love with Max Evans and even time to think about it could change that.

“Yeah? …” His voice was deep and husky.
“Tell me Liz… tell me what you want…”
He was slightly teasing her, one hand gliding on her thigh and the other molding her breast.
She let out a moan and her eyes focused on something behind Max.
“Zack…”

Part 11b
“Zack…”
Max eyes popped open and her looked at her with a confuse look. “What?”
Her face was bright red and flush with desire and it turned him even harder, if it could be possible.
She pointed her finger behind Max and he looked over his shoulder looking directly in a very sleepy Zack.
“God.”
His eyes focused back on Liz and he let his hands fall to his side. “Sorry… I’m going to… bring him back to bed.”
A smile came to plaster on her lips as she felt his embarrassment. He was so cute with his ears red and his flush face.
His lips were swollen with their previous kisses and she couldn’t stop staring at them as he spoke to her.
He turned on his heels and she remarked that he was back in father’s mode. He knelt in front of Zack and scooped him in his arms.
“Why are you up baby? C’mon.”
Zack yawned and laid his head on Max’s shoulder. He was sure he will be asleep in no time and he and Liz would go back to where they were.

*********
Max slid the blanket on Zack’s little body and looked back at his angel’s face. He was knelt beside his bed and couldn’t tear his eyes off of his baby boy.
He wasn’t really a baby anymore. So much thinks had happened since Liz’s departure. During almost five years he had tried to survive without her and here she was, in his house begging him to do something to her he had always dreamed of.
He knew he hadn’t to stay that long beside Zack but he needed to think before going back to Liz.
Minutes ago he had been wild with her kisses and couldn’t think well anymore. But now, he knew it. He knew that they needed to talk. They could go back together, but before they needed to try to know each other again.
He could feel it wasn’t going to be too difficult. They were meant to be together. They were connected to each other.

***************

He stood back and made his way slowly in his room. Liz was sitting on his bed, her skin flush from their making out session.
She turned her head back to him and a smile spread on her face. “Hey… is he ok?”
“Yeah… He was in my room and… I think he heard us…” He flushed at his last statement.
What was he thinking…? Actually he was thinking about tearing her cloth away and makes passionate slow love to this beauty in front of him.
Liz probably saw the change in him because her head fell low and she could see her turned red.
“I think we better talk Max.”
“Yeah me too.”
His voice was deep and husky and she finally found the courage to look at him.
She patted the empty place next to her encouraging him to come closer to her.
“Come on Max.”
He walked toward her, his steps slow as he tried in the same time to contain his desire.
‘You can do that Max; you can do it.’ He kept repeating in his mind.
When he sat beside her she turned her head to him the smile on her lips lighting her face.
“I… I want to be with you Max.”
“I know Liz me too but-.” She cut him before he could finish his sentence.
“I want to be with you, but I want to know you before… I mean that… I want to know the one your are right now… The Max I know is barely 19. I want to know the man you became.”
Max smiled as he listened to her. He finally cut her when he felt she was babbling.
She refused to meet his gaze feeling ashamed to ask him that after her behavior. She had almost raped him just minutes ago.
“It’s ok Liz. That’s what I want to.”
She turned to him as relief poured in her. The smile on her face was all he needed to convince him that he had done right by not pushing her and followed his heart.
“I think that… maybe we could be back with each other, but maybe… maybe we could take it slowly… like two adult and not like rabbits!”
This last sentence made Liz blushed even more and she lowered her head knowing well that she had been the rabbit in the story.
After a moment of comfortable silence, Liz was the first to spoke.
“Can I… Can you hold me tonight Max.”
Max turned to her with a smile. Suddenly she was again the Liz he had known years ago and he was again 17.
He felt all the love for him poured inside of him as she looked at him. He simply nodded, and it was all Liz needed for letting out the breath she was holding.

*****************

Part 12

Liz woke up early in the morning. Feeling the morning light hit her lids.
Max’s scent was all around her. She could felt his cotton T-shirt under her cheek; but what she was feeling the most was his warm skin under it. She could felt the texture of it under her hand and without opening her eyes she let it slid again his stomach.
It was warm and soft and that when she realized it wasn’t the texture of his T-shirt, but his really skin.
Her hand had made her way under his shirt during the night and was now just above the waistband of his short.
Her eyes popped open but she didn’t move. She stopped breathing as she slide her hand away from this dangerous place and she winced as she heard him groan unconsciously in his sleep.
She then realized that their two bodies were actually tangled with each other.
One of his legs had made its way between hers and she could felt his hard thigh again hers; his hands were joined on her stomach and she could felt his arms under her back.
She tried not to wake him as she disentangles their body and winced every time he was moaning.

When she had finished her task she realized she was missing his warmth. It had been one of the peaceful nights of her life. She hadn’t slept that way for a long time.
Now she was looking at him sleepy face, an angel’s face. She couldn’t help the smile that was plastered on her lips.
He was so… Max.

Something drawn her attention at the corner of her eyes. Zack was standing on the doorstep, and seemed as sleepy as his father.
Her rubbed his eyes and when they focused on Liz he rushed toward her.
“Liz!”
“Hey Zack.”
She put a finger on his mouth and shows him Max again sound asleep beside her.
“We don’t want to wake daddy up.” The whisper in his ear made him giggle. And he shook his head trying to be as quiet as possible.
“Daddy’s aways mad when him wakes too eawly.”
“Oh really?” “Oooh yeah.” He nodded frankly to emphasis his statement.
“Well we are going to see that. What do you think about tickling daddy!”
Zack frown as he stared at Liz. But she reassured him immediately. “Don’t worry I’ll tell you it was my idea.”

Max kept his eyes closed as he slowly wake up. He had had the best dream since years. Liz had been here next to him all night and he could again felt her skin under his touch and her scent was all around him.
He became suddenly aware that someone was talking beside him but couldn’t open him eyes.
In no time he felt two pair of hand tinkling his side and his back arch in the air at the sudden attack.
He recognized Zack’s little hand and laugh but the other kept unknown.
But when he heard her laugh, he knew she was Liz. He could have recognized her everywhere.
So it wasn’t a dream. She was really here and tickling his side.
He tried to escape their wandering hands but Zack had made his on his stomach and kept him still.
Or was it Liz? She was heavier than Zack and when he opened his eyes he came face to face with her.
She was straddling him and he stopped laughing when he felt himself harden.

Liz stopped tinkling Max side when she felt him harden under her. She had gone to far.
She turned to Zack who was again tinkling Max, never knowing what was happening between his father and Liz.
“Hey, Zack. I think daddy have had enough tickle for today. What do you think about breakfast?”
She didn’t wait for his answer and slid away from Max griping Zack’s hand and dragged him in the hallway.
“Wha a’bwou daddy? Can him cwome with me!”
He turned back toward the door but the vision Liz’s saw was too much. Max head had fell on the pillow and he was taking deep breath trying to gain his control back.
“Daddy need sometimes alone baby.”
She closed the door but couldn’t help the smile on her face as she realized she had done that to him.

****************
Isabel drove on the highway. Her eyes never leaving the yellow lines in front of her.
She was trying desperately to convince herself that what she was going to do was the right thing.
After all Max was her brother. They had always been together.
Maria could say everything she wanted Max was her brother and she was knowing him better than anyone in this planet.

She had took care of him and Zack when he had broke down after her departure. She had put a end to her marriage just to stay with him. But he didn’t know that. And if she needed to tell him to let go of Liz, then she’ll do it.

She didn’t want to see him the way she had seen him when Liz was gone.

see you soon.

Part 13

The door’s opening startled both Liz and Max. They were sitting at the table with Zack, laughing and talking as they ate breakfast.
Zack turned a worried look toward his father. “Wha wa tha daddy?”
“It’s ok baby it’s just me.”
They all turned toward the kitchen door looking perplex to a breathless Isabel.
“Is. What’s going on? Did you see Liz was back in Roswell-.”
Isabel cut him off before he could go further. This smile on his face was killing her. How could he be so… selfish and forgetting?
“Can we talk Max.”
Max looked at her perplex. Where was his sister.
“But Is, You saw-.” “I know Max. Liz is back. Now can we talk?” She tried to avoid his gaze and Max understood by her frustrating ton that it was important.
“Ok go on.”
She eyed Liz a moment and turned back to Liz. “Alone.”
“What?! I’m hiding nothing to Liz.”
Liz came when she realized he was going to lose it. It was because of her, she know it was. She had seen Isabel two days ago. She had been furious.
“It’s ok Max. I’m waiting in the living.”
“No Liz.”
“Max…” “Don’t ‘Max’ me!”
“Max, I’m bringing Zack to the bath.” She let any other possible arguments in this statement. She had took a decision, she’d keep it.
“Come on baby.”
She took Zack hand and he followed her in the hallway. He would have run away from the bath in other condition, but he had seen his dad that way before and he knew that when he was like that, he’d better act like a little mouse.
Isabel didn’t even wait for them to be out of sight.
“She has to go Max!”

**************
Liz got away from the kitchen and tears came to her eyes as she heart Isabel’s statement.
She didn’t heart Max answered and she wondered if he was going to change his mind.
She was afraid now to let them talk alone.
She wanted to run back on the kitchen and to Max. She wanted to face Isabel and to fight for her men as much as she had fight Tess.
Why was it so complicate with them? What had they done? They were just loving each other. Nothing really extraordinary.
Zack soft cries brought her back to the reality. She knelt before him and took his head in her hands.
“Hey. What’s wrong?”
“Daddy mad at me?”
“No baby. No he is not. He is just…”
She didn’t finish her sentence. She didn’t even know what Max was thinking right now.
There was a time when she had known what Max was thinking and feeling everytime he was near. But now she was feeling things but she didn’t know if it was he or just her imagination.

*************
“She is with me now Isabel.” Max stated felling frustrated. It did more than 15 minutes that he was arguing with Isabel. Couldn’t she understand him?
“Max you need to understand-.”
“No YOU need to understand! She is my life Isabel. Don’t you know that after all these years! I can’t live without her!”
“You do it during more than 3 years!” Isabel tried to act calmly but she couldn’t make him understand her point.
“I do it for Zack Isabel! I have never felt that happy during 3 years because she is back! I thought you’d be the first to be happy for me. She is here with me and I’m happy!”
“For how much time Max? Zack is not her son. How much time do you think she can support that?”
Max felt the bile rose on his throat. He had always hoped that Zack was Liz’s. He hadn’t stopped hating the act had brought him to life and dream that Liz was his real mother.
He forced himself to calm down and speak slowly.
“She like him.”
“Oh yeah. She likes him right now but how much time will she do?”
Max fell on a chair beside him. Isabel was right for once. Liz was never going to love Zack like her own.
Isabel felt his distress a came to seat next to him. “I just don’t want that what happened three years ago happened again.”
“It was an accident, Is.”
“What happened three years ago?”
Liz’s voice startled them both and they stood when they saw her.
“What happened three years ago?”
Max’s face fell. He didn’t want her to know. If she’d know he had gone so far, if she’d know he had been so selfish, she would leave him for sure.
“Nothing.”
“Don’t say that Max.”
Isabel’s voice told him she wanted Liz to know. “You’re not going to tell her, are you?”
“I thought you’ll never hid anything to her?”
“It’s different.”
“Different how? Max it was because of her!”
“It wasn’t he fault!”
“So what was it, Max!”
Max was at a lost of words. He knew it was because of Liz’s departure. But accepting this was too much.
“You didn’t tell her!”
He fled in his room, and Liz ran after him.
Isabel stayed in the kitchen for a while feeling lost. It was of him now. She couldn’t do anything else.
She eyed Zack in the living watching TV. If only he knew how many problems he could cause.
He was only a little boy after all. He hadn’t even ask to be born.

*****************


Part 14

Liz drove fast toward Isabel flat. She hopes she hadn’t moved on during the three years. She couldn’t tell Max where she was going, she knew he would be furious. And she hadn’t time to stop by Maria’s.
She pulled the car on the alley and ran toward the entrance.
When she arrived toward Isabel’s door, she squeezed her eyes and took long deep breath.
‘Think Liz. Think.’ But she didn’t have time to.
The door flew open reveling an angry Isabel.
“What are you doing here?”
“I want to know.”
She looked at Isabel for her okay but just saw her face fell. For the first time since she had come back to Roswell she could see the real Isabel. The one she had been friend with at a time.
Isabel opened her door and let her in.
“Do you want something to drink?”
Oh, Oh. She was nice; it was going to be bad.
“No thank Isabel. I just want to know what happened.”
Isabel looked at her, jus to be sure and took a deep breath. It was going to be hard to recall all this things, but Liz needed to know.
“Fine… It happened three years ago, just before Christmas…”

(Little come back to the past.)
‘Three years ago: December, 19th 2003.’

Isabel ran on the street covering her ears with her scarf. She had never seen such a bad weather here in Roswell.
The snow was falling on her neck and her hands were starting to freeze. She rubbed them together as she entered the little hallway that lead to Max’s flat.
She felt the warm of the little living area as she entered it and a smile plastered on her face.
She had seen Max two days ago and he had seemed better than he had been since Liz’s departure.
Zack had made his first steps and he had been in heaven during just a few minutes. She had never seen him so proud.
This period of training at the hospital wad killing her, but she had been here in time to see this. He had called her at the ER and she had came without giving it a second thought.
It was two day she hadn’t saw them and she couldn’t wait to see all the progress Zack had done during this days.
She entered the little flat a strange feeling coursing on her body. Something seemed strange. She could heart Zack’s cry through the apartment.
“Max?”
She made her way toward the only room, the light was on and She took sight of Zack standing on his crib crying with all his might. She neared him as he held his little arms to her.
“Hey baby, where is your daddy?”
She bounced his little body on her arms trying to calm his sobs. But he kept crying. Something was definitely wrong here.
That when she saw it, Max legs that passed beyond the bathroom door. She could only see his shoes.
She quickly put Zack back on his crib and ran toward the bathroom.
Max was lying on the hard floor, his head hanging awkwardly. His eyes were closed.
He seemed to have fainted but his mouth hung open and he had pissed himself. She stayed in shock in front of this vision.

She had seen this before as she worked at the hospital. People trying to kill themselves had took lots of pills and had had an overdose. The doctor had explained her that this people couldn’t control their body anymore.
But it wasn’t Max. He would never do that.
Then she saw it. The orange bottle at the bottom of the room. He had done it. She closed her eyes feeling a sudden urge to throw up.

She composed herself and took deep breath before opening her eyes again. She knew he was alive and she knew she had to do something. But what? It wasn’t like she could call an ambulance?
‘Think Isabel. Think. You’re working on a ER, you know what to do.’ She kept repeating on her mind. But Zack cries had intensified and she couldn’t concentrate.
She was running out of time. Max needed her. There was only one solution and she knew she could save him.
She knelt next to him, tears running down her cheeks. ‘What have you done Max.’
She held his head with one hand and pushed his tongue of the way. She mumbled as she closed her eyes. “I’m sorry Max.”
She pushed two fingers on his throat and when she heart him choked for breath she never stopped, until she felt a pool on her fingers.
She pushed his head toward the toilet crying as he vomited all the pills that he had swallowed.

She had saw his eyes popped open when she had forced her fingers on his throat and now she was sure he was wide awake.
He gripped the toilet seat with all his might, his knuckles turning white with the pain.
She ran her hands in his hairs trying to ignored the sound that make Max’s throat and Zack’s cries.
What had he done? Was it because of her? Hadn’t she be vigilant enough? Had she missed something during the past few days? She kept asking this questions to herself in her mind.

*************
Isabel sat beside a barely conscious Max as she waited for Michael to arrive. When Max had calm down, she had called him urging him here.
She held Max head in her hand but she couldn’t see right as the tears blurred her view.
“Max, please tell me what’s happened.”
But he just cried more, trying to hide his face on her shoulder. He seemed so weak. He kept running his hand on his belly and groaning with pain.
But she didn’t know if it was physical or psychological pain. His movements were frantic, and she knew he was hurting himself with guilt for doing what he had done.

Zack seemed to had calm down. She hadn’t saw him since she had come to Max, but he had calm down just after she had call Michael. He had probably felt his father distress. She had always felt something special between he and Max.

Michael pushed Max’s apartment’s door open and ran on the little room he was sharing with his son.
He heart Isabel called him from the bathroom and he wasn’t ready for the sight before him.
Max seemed to have totally lost the control of his body.
He laid on the floor, his head reposing on Isabel chest.
“What’s happened Isabel?”
She just looked at him with eyes full of tears. “You have to help me to bring him to bed.”
He saw that Max’s eyes were opened and understood her reaction. She didn’t want to say that in front of him.
He didn’t wait a second and slide Max’s arm around his shoulder holding him against his side. He didn’t recognized his friend. He seems so light suddenly. He had never realized he had lost so much pounds.
He carried him to his bed as Isabel made his way toward his closet to bring sweatpants and a
T-shirt.
When he didn’t see her come back, he left Max’s side. He approached the little closet and found Isabel, her head hanging low as she cried. She held her head in her hand and he knew she was feeling guilty.
He wrapped his arms around her frame trying to calm her. “Shut. It’s ok.”
“No Michael. It’s my fault, I didn’t saw anything.”
“It’ not your fault Isabel. You know as much as me that he would never did something like that. He loves Zack too much.”
Isabel knew he was right, but she couldn’t help feeling this way. She must have been here. She must have realized he wasn’t feeling well.
She disentangled herself from Michael’s grip, avoiding his gaze. She held the sweatpants.
“I’m changing him. He’ll feel better in this. You can go back to Maria.”
But Michael stopped her before she could go further. “No, I’m staying here.” He took the sweatpants from her hands.
“And I’ll take care of that. Go rest, you did enough.”
“Michael… I think I can do this. I don’t have to rest.”
“It’s not for that… I… I think it’s better if…if I do that for him… I’m a boy.”
Isabel looked at him with wide eyes. “Michael, he is barely conscious.”
“I don’t care, he is my friend… I’ll take care of that. End of discussion.”
Isabel knew that this ton left no argument. He had made his point. She made her way back to the room, Michael following right behind her. He wait until she had kissed Max forehead, who seemed now asleep, completely unaware of his surrounding.

She stopped at the doorframe and looked behind her with tears in her eyes. She watched Michael slide Max’s shoes away from his foot and popped open his pant’s button.
She knew Max was conscious in a way, she knew he was feeling everything Michael was doing to him. She watched as he tried to pushed Michael’s hands away from his pants with weak motions.
Michael pushed his hand avoiding Max protesting groan. It wished he’d never be in Max’s position. Being helpless. He didn’t know if he would be able to look in his friend’s eyes after that. And he knew it would be the same for him.

Isabel looked one last time toward the bed and her eyes fell on Zack. He had fell asleep like his father. Had he felt Max’s pain? She couldn’t say. But she knew he knew he had a part in this.

*************
Next part will be here soon. Hope you understood my little part where I go back on the past... I you didn't tell me. I'll explain. Enjoy. Babylisou.

Thank you guys for all the feedback. I told you I'll be back soon... so I'm here with a new part. It's little short.
Be ready, next part (16) will probably be rated NC-17... Babylisou.

Part 15
Back to the present. July 2005.

Liz listened attentively to Isabel, with wide eyes. She had thought she was ready for everything from what had happened. She was wrong.
She couldn’t have never imagined that Max have done something like that. She knew Michael had been right when he had said to Isabel he had never had the intention to killed himself. Max couldn’t have done this. He had no intention of killing himself this time.
But what she was sure of now, was that she had cause him a breakdown. She had almost killed him.

Isabel stared at Liz who was crying silently. She knew her friend was torturing herself. Wondering if Max have done that because of her.
Say and Think about everything that had happened this night had clear Isabel’s mind.
She didn’t know anymore if Liz was responsible.
She had felt guilty herself for so long and it had been easy for her to report the fault on Liz.
But seeing Liz this way was hurting her. She wanted to kick herself on the ass for not listening to Max.
“I’m sorry Liz. Max didn’t want you to know. I’d better listened to him.”
Liz jumped at Isabel soft statement. “No. Why? I wanted to know!”
Liz was suddenly confused. She had thought it was Isabel tactic to take her away from Max. And now she was apologized for telling her the whole story.
She was sure anything could brought her away from Max and she believed it.
She just needed to talked to him. To understand.
“It’s between Max and me now Isabel. You don’t have to worry anymore. I know you’re feeling guilty. I can feel it. But I’m the only responsible on this story. Ok.”
Isabel broke down suddenly. She wasn’t expecting this reaction from Liz. She had never thought she would apologized.
But she had always knew Liz. How could she forget the caring and forgetting Liz. The Liz who was loving his brother unconditionally.
She tried to calm herself and wiped her eyes with one hand.
“I… I want to ask you something Liz… before you go.”
Liz turned back toward Isabel. Listening to her with all her attention.
“Ok.”
“I… I wanted to know why you let Max…”
Liz stayed silent now. She had had a lot of raisons during this three years. Reasons she had kept repeating her everyday. Trying to convince herself it was the right thing.
But she didn’t know anymore.
“I don’t know… I think I was scared… I was scared that Max would not accept me with his son. I thought I could never accept Tess’s son as mine. But things changes Isabel… I change.”
Isabel continued to cry as she listened to Liz. She hadn’t thought about that. She hadn’t thought that it could be difficult for Liz to accept the son of the one who had killed her best friend.
“He isn’t Tess, Liz. I mean, he isn’t anymore… He is only Max now.”
“I know that now… Thank you Isabel.”
Isabel sniffed as she wrapped her arms around Liz.
“It’s nice to see you again Liz.”
“It’s nice to see you too Isabel.”
They suddenly knew, at the same time, that the only men that count for them was the same. They had that in common. They were both in love with Max and his son.

**************
Liz walk slowly on the macadam. She wasn’t in a rush anymore. She needed to think. Isabel had tell her he had never wanted to killed himself. And she believed that. He was loving his son so much it was an evidence.
So why? Why had he done that?
She needed answers. She needed to be sure.
She opened Max’s house’s door with a shaking hand. How will he react when she’ll tell him where she was? What she had done.
The house was silent.
“Max?”
“I’m here.”
His voice was soft. Too soft. She follow the sound of it and found him sitting on the couch his head hanging low.
“Max…”
“Isabel call me. She wanted to apologize… She… said you convinced her she was wrong.”
Liz approached him carefully. She didn’t know how much Isabel had told him. But his reaction wasn’t good for know.
He raised his head and she saw the tears running on his cheeks.
“So you know…”
“Max…” She was devastated as much as he seemed to be. The shame was clear on his face.
“I didn’t wanted you to know Liz.”
“Why?” She sat beside him running her hand on his back soothingly.
“I’m not really proud of what I’ve done Liz… I almost… I almost…” He couldn’t say the words, it was too painful. So he just broke down. How could he had done that to himself. To his son. To her. Her soothing voice was calming him.
“Tell me Max. Tell me everything.”
“I was lost Liz… I was so lost… It was the first time in all my life that I’ve been separated from you for so long… Do you know that when I was 10 or 11… I forced my parents to go back here in Roswell because I’ve been away from you to much time.”
A smile made his way on his lips and she followed him closely with a grin.
“Really? What did you say to them?”
Max chuckled. “Nothing, I just made them think I was sick. They thought it was the climate, and we go back.”
They stayed silent a moment. Just savoring a nice memory. A memory that tell Liz he had always loved her. That he always will.
But the silence wasn’t enough after all. Liz needed answers. How could she ask him that now? Was it a way to ask that? ‘Hey Max, so tell was it because of me that you try to kill yourself!’ No it was ridiculous.
Then suddenly, as if he had read her mind. He answered her questions. She could felt the unsteadiness of his voice. All his body was shaking.
“It was a lot of things, you know… it was like everything was falling on me at the same time… at a moment I was happy and all, and suddenly I was feeling alone. I had the feeling that everything and everyone around me was here to remind me that you were gone… This night I was alone and Zack… well he had been an handful all day… like… like he was feeling my distress. He never stopped crying… It was day that I hadn’t slept… I just needed… I needed to forgot for a moment.”
His voice shook more and more at every words. Liz knew it was the first time he was talking about that. So she wait patiently. She didn’t push him, her hand soothing him everywhere it had access.
“There was this pills that Is at given me and… It was never enough. I think my… alien body didn’t support this pills… All I remember after that, is waking up suddenly with Is finger inside my mouth… I think I faint again because after that I didn’t remember anything… well, there is feeling that’s all. Like shame and… confusing… But that’s all… You see, I didn’t even suffer… All the pain came later. When I realized what I had done.”
He stopped on this words. His tears had stopped falling and he seemed better. Himself was feeling weirdly in peace, for the first time since it had happen, he was feeling in peace with this act he had committed.
It wasn’t Liz case. She was feeling worse than when she had come. She had had her answers, but she hadn’t been liberated with all the guilty feeling. It was worth.

Max saw that and it was his time to sooth her with calming words. He cradled her in his arms.
“hey. I told you Liz… It’s not your fault.”
“Yes it is Max… I do that to you.”
He smoothed her hair, kissing the top of her head. Trying everything he could to make her feel better.
“Shut Liz. I don’t care about what happened three years ago. You’re my life and I know now that I can’t live without you… And it taught me something. Did you know what?”
He tilted her chin forcing her gaze to meet his smiling face. She shook her head.
“It taught me that, everywhere you are going, everything you could do, anything can stop me to love you. Even time… even that.”
His smile was contagious and she found her self smiling back to him.
He now he needed to prove her his point and the only way he found was to kiss her. So he did.
It was first a gently peck on her lips, but it became more urgency when she respond him. She deepened the kiss, needing the feel of his mouth against hers. Sliding her tongue one his lips to ask entrance, she let it slid when he parted them.

Part 16a

She didn’t have time to finish her sentence as the front door flew open revealing two giggling boys and Lisa.
Liz jumped from Max’s laps and he jerked, standing on his feet.
The look on Lisa’s face told her she had seen everything, but she was grateful when she didn’t mention it.
“Hey Max… Liz nice to see you again.”
Their weird meeting was turning to become really embarrassing right now for everyone. A smirk was plastered on Lisa’s lips as she looked at Max and Liz’s red cheek.
“Lizzie.” Zack was completely unaware at the awkward moment that was taking place in here, and without knowing it he broke the ice. He ran on Liz arms hugging like he hadn’t see her in month. “I mishe’d ya Lizzie. Wanna p’ay wi me?”
Liz looked at all the people on the room. Max was talking actively with Lisa and she notice the little boy standing next to her.
“Don’t you want to introduce me to your friend first?”
“Yu don’ k’ow Sam?” Liz turned to the shy little boy smiling back at him.
“Oh. You’re Sam. Max talked to me about you.” “Really?”
Liz didn’t have time to go farther as the phone rang startling everyone in the room.
Everyone turned toward Max as he answered it.
“Evans’s home… Yeah it’s me… what?!” the sudden burst made Liz jerk. She could see on Max’s face that something was wrong and she knew Lisa knew too as she saw the look she was giving her.
“I’m coming… yeah sure… Amy De Luca. L-U-C-A… her phone number is the 555 041 221… Tell him that I’m coming please. Thanks.”
Max hung up the phone turning a very scare face toward Liz.
“Michael and Maria had a car crash. I told them I was coming.”

here is part 16b guys. I know it's ugly and all but be patient, soon will come the surprises...Kiss. PLease feedback.

Part 16b

Max was already running on the doorway catching his keys on the little table. Liz followed him on the room. “I’m coming with you.”
Lisa’s voice stopped them suddenly. “Max wait. What do I do with the kid. You were supposed to look after them. I’ve a meeting with your Mum.”
Max face fell as she talked. He had promise. This meeting was the one she had waiting for years, the one, which will give her Sam’s custody.
Liz saw his desperated look and came to rescue. “Maybe they could come with us. And Lisa will come to the hospital to take them when her meeting is over.”
Max turned to Lisa with a pleading’s look on his face.
“It’s ok with me.” “Fine.”

************
Michael looked through the transparent window as doctor were doing thousand and thousand of strange things to Maria.
His vision was blurred with fresh tears and he knew it wasn’t pain that was causing it.
“You need to stay still Mr. Guerin. I need a sample.”
She took his arm but he forced it out of her grip. “No!”
“But Mr. Guerin… The doctor asked this sample. We need to know if everything is ok.”
“I’m fine.”

Michael felt his patience slipped out of his grasp. His teeth were shaking with anger; But not because of the nurse or anyone else on the room. He was mad at himself; he had been so stupid.
He didn’t realize when the nurse took his arm and started to slide the syringe inside his vein. If Max hadn’t arrived in time to see that, they’d had been in big troubles.

Max made his way toward his friend who was sitting on a bed, a nurse taking sample of his blood. He had just the time to change the molecule of Michael’s blood. He had practiced a lot during the last three years, with all the different exams Zack was supposed to have to be accepted legally as Max’s son.

When the nurse was gone he took her place and came to stand next to Michael. Liz was at his side and she remarked like Max that Michael hadn’t even realized they were here.
“Michael? Michael.”
“Hey man.”
Liz put her had on his forearm as Max started to become impatient. It was a face of Max she did know well, and if she didn’t calm him soon, he’d freak out soon.
“Calm down Max. He must be shock or something.”

Michael’s head turned slowly toward his friends when he heard their voice. He had closed himself to everything right now and Max knew that.
When they had been children, Michael never gave any clue to what he was feeling; Max had learned to read him just by looking at his face.
“Michael told me what’s happen.” “Where is Maria? Is she ok?”
Michael turned an almost sorry face toward Liz. It was the first time she was seeing that way, but she hadn’t time to care, she needed to know about her best friend.
“I… She…the doctors said she was ok now…”
“Where is she? Did you see her?”
Michael lowered his head trying to avoid Liz’s gaze. “I couldn’t… I can’t see her like this.”
Liz saw the window behind Michael and she realized that the woman who lied on the bed was Maria. She run toward the entrance and disappeared inside the room.

Max stayed alone with Michael and the two kids.
“Michael…” Max took his friend’s chin between two finger, wincing at his bruise face. “It hurt.”
Michael mumbled something that Max couldn’t heart and then loudly.
“…It’s nothing. I’m not feeling anything… What are the kids doing here?” Michael was desperately trying to avoid the subject Max wanted him to talk about.
Max understood that and knew it was a mistake to push him. So he didn’t. But seeing his friend in so obvious pain was making him sad and mad. In two day it’d have to be their weeding day and now everything had flew away.
How could it happen to Michael? His best friend didn’t deserve this. It had taken him two whole years to accept he was in love with Maria and three others to tell her.
Michael had missed love all his life and this time, it was like god was letting him fall too. He’d understand his friend for not believe in god at all after that.

They stayed silent for almost fifteen minutes, the two of them lost in their own thought. Max knew Michael was feeling guilty for what had happen but he couldn’t stated he didn’t have to without him accepting to told him what had really happen.

The doctor took a step toward Michael.
“Mr. Guerin?”
Michael immediately stood, turning his full attention toward the man that held his wife and child’s lives in his hands.
“Yes. It’s me… Is she ok now?”
The doctor invited him to follow him on the little office. “I prefer to talk to you in private.”
Michael followed without a word giving one worry look at Max before entering the little room.
Max couldn’t heart anything the doctor was saying but he kept his eyes on Michael through the window.
He saw his obvious frustration at the doctor’s words. He saw him stood from his chair. He saw him running a tired hand on his bruise face. And he saw his eyes widening as the doctor talk.

“No!” It came from Michael and that Max heard it. All the people who were on the hallway probably heart it because everyone turned toward the doctor’s door when it flew open and Michael went out.

He passed Max’s side and on one swift motion indicated him he needed him.
“I need air. Come with me please.”
Max heard through those words what the other couldn’t heart: ‘please come with me or I’m going to do some silliness.’ It was Michael’s way to ask help.
“The car is on the park. Let me tell Liz.”

***********
Liz looked at her friend lying on a hospital bed. She was asleep now but it didn’t seem she was.
She was so pale and suddenly she was looking so skinny. There was only this beeping sound that could remind her she was alive.
Amy was on the other side of the bed, holding her daughter’s hand in a death grip as if her life depended on it.
Liz didn’t know what had really had happened. She had heard Michael’s cry from the hallway and seconds after Max had come in the room, telling her he was outside with Michael.
But she didn’t know anything. Even Amy, Maria own mother, didn’t know what had happen.
She knew her daughter had had lots of broken bones and some lesion on her forehead. She knew she was ok now. Her daughter was going to live.
But what the doctor had said to Michael had stayed confidential. Amy had come to ask but the doctor had say it was concerning Mr. De Luca and Mr. Guerin only.
Liz hadn’t asked for more. She knew they’d not give her more information. Only Michael could, … or Max.

**************
Michael was holding tight on the steering wheel. His foot was touching the ground as he sped on the desert’s way.
At a moment he was almost tempted to close his eyes, to forget everything. He could have done that. He would have ended this damn life of him, if Max hadn’t been near him on the car.
Here was the reason he had asked his friend to come with him. Because Max had a life, a son and now he had Liz back. His life couldn’t be more perfect. Michael hadn’t the right to end it for him.

A throaty laugh escaped his lips as he realized he now understood what Max had felt for all this years. He could now understood the reasons that had pushed Max to swallow those pills.
He had this same will right now.

Max jumped in his seat when he heard Michael laugh. He didn’t know what was bothering his friend but it was definitely enough for him to end up with life.
When the laughs end up in a sob, Max took the wheel with one hand and Michael let it go his head falling on his hands.
Max turned the wheel toward the side and the car came to a stop.

Michael went out of the car as soon as it stopped. Not letting his friend any chance to ask him what was happening.
Max look at Michael through the window as he let of steam himself on the car. His arm suddenly flew on the back window, cutting up the pane into small piece.
Max went out of the car at this. He hadn’t expected Michael to do that. He stopped him when he continued to beat the car with his injure hand.
Blood was running on his wrist but he didn’t seem to feel the pain.

“Michael! Stop it! Stop it now!” Max used the same tone he was using with Zack when he was doing stupid things. Right now, Michael was nothing more than a child.
Max fell on his knees next to his friend. Using the same soothing tone he was using with Zack once again.
“Tell me Michael. Tell me what happen. I can’t do anything to help you if you didn’t tell me.”
Max waited and waited during five long minutes until Michael sobs stopped and then he waited in silence. And when he was sure he was never going to talk again. He said it.
It was a whisper, some incomprehensible words. But he had said it to himself, and it was the first step.
Max didn’t want to push him but he had been so surprised to heard him talk and he asked him to repeat what he had said.
Michael turned his head toward his best friend, his cheeks covered with tears. It was the first time he was saying Michael like that and it hurt him badly.
“I killed him, Max… I killed my son.”

*************

“I knew I was wrong Max. I knew it… I’m just so… stubborn sometime. And she is too… If I’d not make her angry like that, she will be at home right now. She will probably be screaming at me for not having made the call for the flowers, but she would be there with me, not in a damn white hospital room…”
Max put a hand on his friend arms to try to stop his guilt to take over him. But it seemed a lost battle.
“She is ok Michael. You know she is. And this accident is not your fault.”
“Yes it is! I was angry! I didn’t want her to go to the mall. She was weak and I didn’t want her to go. So I came with her, but I was wrong. I made her angrier and then, suddenly, coming from nowhere, there was blood, … everywhere… blood… she lost the control of the car and everything went black. When I woke up, people were running around the car. She was unconscious and there was all this blood… I didn’t even know if it was hers or mine anymore… So much blood…”

It hit Max when Michael was talking. He hadn’t realized how much his friend was blaming himself for something he wasn’t the cause of. He continued to listen to him, not wanting to interrupt him.

“Then there was all those doctors who were running around her. Saying words I couldn’t understand… The doctor who talked to me after used those same words, incomprehensible words to tell me one thing: She had a miscarriage. Your son is dead Mr. Guerin. Your blood is gone with all the blood she lost, you killed your baby and your wife almost die because of you…”
Max knew the rude words Michael was using weren’t the doctor’s words. He couldn’t let him think that about himself.
“You didn’t killed them Michael!”
“Yes I did!” Michael stood abruptly. “Don’t you see that Maxwell? I’m a killer, I’ve always been! I killed people and now I killed the two people I was loving the most!”
Max couldn’t stand this anymore. He knew his friend had never forget Pierce’s death. He had always blamed himself for this. But he didn’t know how much it was hunted him today again.

“You didn’t killed your son Michael! Because he was dead before Maria entered the car!”
Max didn’t want to used so rough words but it was the only way to make his friend understand.
“You tell me Maria was feeling weak, and you told me you saw the blood before she lost control of the car. It was her miscarriage that made her lost control of it! …”
Max looked at his friend face as it made his way on his brain. Slowly appeasing his guilt.
“Why? … Why all this is happening to us Maxwell… I… I didn’t do anything… Did I do something that wasn’t right? Tell me Maxwell.”

Max arms wrapped around his friend shoulders as he cried more on his hands. He knew he had helped him in a way, but it wouldn’t make the pain go away, as if it was hanging at his friend heart forever.

Here we are for part 16c. Soon I'll post part 17 and it'll be happier...well actually there is going to have surprise and all... So please keep reading and feedback.


Part 16c (R)

Liz rocked back and force on the couch in Max’s living room. She was scared to death; He hadn’t called and she had expected to meet him here at the house but when she had come back with the kids, he wasn’t here.

She hadn’t said anything not wanting to worry Zack, but she could see on his face when she put him to bed, that he was as worried as she was.
His daddy was never late. He was always here to read a story and tug his cover under the mattress. But tonight he wasn’t.
He knew something had happened. He had seen uncle Mick’s face. He had felt all the tension around him. But he hadn’t say anything. He hadn’t say anything when uncle Mick had cried and when daddy was gone. He hadn’t said anything when Lizzie and him had come back home and she had faked a good mood.
Something had happened to auntie Maria and he was afraid it was something important.

Liz stood to her feet when she heart the door open and she ran from the hallway directly in Max’s arms.
Her head turned toward Michael who was standing awkwardly behind Max. His face was all bruise and she could have swear the lesion on his hand wasn’t there when she had saw him at the hospital.
He seemed to have cried. She had never seen him cried. Michael was a rock stone. He never fell.
Maria had told her that one time he had cried in front of her. He had come in the middle of the night at Maria’s window crying like a baby. But it was in High school. Michael had grown since this time, both physically and emotionally.

He seemed so vulnerable; he stayed behind Max, his head hanging low, like a little boy protecting himself behind his dad.
In Liz’s mind, if Max was going to play the dad for him, then she’ll find a way to play the mom.

*********
Zack seated on the steps looking at his dad and at uncle Mick. He knew something had been wrong, and now, seeing his bestest friend like that was a proof. Uncle Mick wasn’t fine.
He stayed hide not wanting to disturb them. He knew his father wouldn’t be this happy to see him up this late. But he couldn’t help it, and he fight for not falling asleep.

*********
Max searched nervously on the drug drawer in the kitchen. Where were those damn compress.
He was starting to feel all the tension of the evening falling on his shoulder.
“Damn!” He thrown the drawer on the floor in frustration, running his hand on his face he tried to calm himself but it was a lost battle. Only Liz could ease his tension.
As if she had read his mind she came in the room and wrapped her arms around his chest, feeling his heart pounding against his back.

“Why don’t you use your power to heal his hand?”
Max turned her in his arms thankful for her presence. “I can’t… I can’t use them when I’m stress.”
Liz hanged her head high facing his soulful eyes. She could feel his tense muscles through his shirt, and she kept running her hands on his back soothing his sore soul by the way.

“So go take a shower. I take care of that.”
She took the bandages from his hand and pushed him toward the door before he could protest.
He turned back to her and she could read on his face what he was going to ask her before he did.
“I’ll be there when you’ll go out.”
“Thank you.”
“Go.”

*************
Max made his way toward the stair taking two step at a time and he stood in front of a sleeping Zack. This brought a smile to his lips.
He had forget how his son could feel what he was feeling. “Poor baby.”
He ran a finger on his warm cheek and life and strength flowed through him in wave. His son was definitely his life.

************
Liz found Michael at the same exact place she had left him when she had heard the drawer fell in the kitchen and Max’s frustrated swearing.
His head hanged low on his hands but he wasn’t crying. He looked like a trapped animal between his feeling and his own character.

It was so new for him to be able to cry. He had never cry before, taking Hank’s beats as something normal, something he had been used to. He had learnt to take his lost of Maria on himself everytime they had fell apart from each other.
But today, today it had been too hard, and the tears had flow from his eyes like a drug that could heal all the bruises on his heart. Today he had cried in Max’s arms and it had felt good.

He was desperated and he knew he would not cry anymore today. His eyes didn’t want to give him more tears.
But when he felt Liz take his injure hand on her small one, he felt something he had never felt before: Mother’s love. Yes, he was 23, yes they were the same age, but her motions were motherly.
He looked in her eyes and felt all the love in there poured in his heart. She was smiling at him, talking to him, but he didn’t heart what she was saying. He was in awe in front of her.
When she had finished her bandage she put his hand back on his laps and sat next to him.
“You’re ok now.”

Those simple words seemed to mean the world to him. Anyone beside Maria had never talked to him that way. Anyone beside a girlfriend or a mother could speak that way.
Then it hit him. Liz was Maria’s best friend. The guilt feeling he seemed to have forgot minutes ago was back in full force.
He had cause pain to Liz to. He had disappointed her. He was sure of that. He had fail the role of protector she had made him promise to take this day when they had had lunch together.
He had fail in his role, the only thing she had asked him, he remembered her words as if it was yesterday: ‘protect her Michael. As much as you love her. And make her happy.’
He had promised and today he had failed.
His eyes filled with fresh tears and his face fell. “I’m sorry Liz. I’m so sorry.” Finally, the tears were back.

Liz felt her heart swelled with sadness as she saw the look on Michael change in one minute.
He had seemed ok a second ago, and the second that followed he was apologizing to her for god only know what.
She saw the tears in his eyes and it melted her heart even more. She had never seen him cry, and here he was, so lost he was crying in front of her.
She had never been really close to him, but right now she felt like a mother who was seeing her own child lost in a chagrin that would not go away. And as she felt like a mother she acted like a mother and brushed his tears away, wiping his cheeks. But as it seemed that it would never stop to flow, she wrapped her arms around his large shoulders and soothed his sore soul.
When his head fell on her knees, she knew he was asleep, but she felt it hard to let him alone.
So she let her hand ran on his spiky hairs, listening to the soothing sound of his breath.

************
Max ran the towel in his hairs and on his body trying to erase the pain by the way. But it wouldn’t go.
He needed a good night, something to forget. He needed Liz. He had never wanted her more that tonight, but it seemed so wrong. How could he felt this way as his best friend had just lost his unborn son and his future wife was at this hospital lying on a bed barely conscious?
But he couldn’t help it.

He slid sweatpants on his bare legs, the boxer seeming too short for the cool fresh night of Roswell.
His chest stayed naked as he went out of the little bathroom. And it was thankful because the sight in front of him made the hotness in the room high uncontrollably. Or was it his body?

Liz sat on Max’s bed, waiting for him to finish with his shower. She wasn’t in the mood for a shower, but she needed his soothing words and the feeling of his hard, protecting body wrapped around her to be able to sleep.
There was nothing sexual in this wish. Well, there wasn’t until she saw him go out of the bathroom. His sweatpants hanging low on his hips and his bare chest glistering in the moonlight.

The only light in the room was enough for both of them to see the look of utter desire on each other face.
Max stopped dead in his track, feeling Liz’s gaze lingering on his body and stopping on a part he would have preferred she ignored. But she had not and it brought his body to become more and more hot every second.
“How is Michael?”
“I think he is fine…now.” Any of them were thinking what they were saying. It just went out; and Liz was the first to realize that.
“Max… I…”
Before she could go farther, his lips were on hers, hungry, demanding, but not less tender.
Her hand roamed over his bare chest and her thoughts came back to were they were hours ago before this tragic event came to overthrow their life: on Max’s laps, kissing him like there was no tomorrow.

Moans escaped her lips as his hand made their way under her shirt, to the strap of her bra.
Soon the garment was no more than another obstacle that was passed through Max’s expert hands.
His hands were on her breasts and she couldn’t stop the moan from escaping her lips.
It was arousing Max more than he thought it could be possible and he soon felt the stirring on his ball that alarmed him they were going too far.
“Liz…We…have…to …stop…”
“I know…” Both were conscious that they were well too far. They had never been this far. But their body didn’t agree with their mind, and Max continued to ravish her.
Their mind may not agree with their body, but they both know very well where this situation was leading them.
“Liz… Do you really want that?”
When she only nodded, he took her chin in two of his finger forcing her eyes to meet his. His breath brushed against her lips in small puff and it made it difficult for Liz to concentrate.
“I want that Max.”
It was Max’s turn to avoid her gaze and she herself forced him to look at her, a worried look on her face.
“Don’t you want that?” It seemed so obvious he was aroused like hell. She could felt his hard member against her thigh. But how could she be sure?
“Liz, I do want that. It’s just…”
His silence was enough for Liz to understand his problem. And she smiled finding him cute when he was so shy and flush.
“It will be new for me to Max.”
She knew what she was saying was absurd as Max had a child. But for her he’ll be as pure as she was. He had done that one time and it didn’t make him an expert.

She frowned suddenly, a question popping in her mind. “Their is just something I want to know Max.”
“Ok…” His current state didn’t give lots of vocabulary to his brain but he’d manage to answer feeling it was important for her.
“Did you enjoy it with Tess?”
Max’s head fell low. How could he say that to her?
Liz understood her mistake the moment she saw his face fell. How could she be so silly?
But it wasn’t going to spoil her moment with Max.
A sexy smile appeared on her face. “Don’t worry, it will be even better this time.”

“Did you kept yourself for me Liz?”
His question came out of nowhere and Liz was taken by surprise. But she was going to be honest, as much as he had been with her.
“Yes. I do.” Max’s head fell once again.
“I wished I could say that to you to, but…”
She hushed him with a single finger on his lips. She didn’t want him to explain what she was sure he was going to explain. She didn’t want any apologizes anymore.
“I don’t care Max. You’re pure for me.”
“The thing is… Liz I’d never regret what brought Zack in this world. It might have been a mistake of me, but I learn to love this mistake, because it gave me the most beautiful little boy in this world… Sometime, I wish he was yours.”
“I wished that too at a time… That’s what I wished during years Max. But when I met him, when I realize how much he was like you. I did tell myself that if he had been mine, he wouldn’t have been like that… so cute and… so like you…”
“Don’t say that… Any child that would come from you and have the chance to have you as a mother would be bliss…”
“Well… I don’t want you to regret either Max… I’m fine with this now… Tess is god know where and I don’t care anymore.”

Max couldn’t help the grin on his face. It was his Liz, his perfect, sumptuous Liz. And today he was a man in heaven. He didn’t believe in god but tonight he will thank this unreal person who give him the chance he was sure not to deserve with Liz.

He felt like a teenager suddenly. They had been carried away, and he hadn’t realized how much it had turned him on. He was fully aroused and Liz squirming on his laps wasn’t helping.
He stilled her hips with his two hands giving her a sheepish smile. “Please… If you don’t want… this to be over too soon… you better stop.”


Liz blushed at her obvious lost of control. She had been carried away and feeling Max growing harder beneath her wasn’t helping.
But it didn’t change her feeling. She wanted it to be fine; She wanted Max to feel what she felt for him. And she knew he would if she gave herself whole.
“I want this to be fine Max… I mean… I want to do that in the rule… not rush the things…”
“I want that to…”
His voice was huskier than ever and she could feel his desire grow and grow…

She wasn’t afraid anymore. He was Max, her soul mate; he was everything she had always dreamt for. But their life… their life had brought them apart. Now they were together like before, and she could feel that anything anytime, once they will have mate, would separate them again.
Tonight was The night, and she will live it with her whole heart open to him.
And when Max laid above her this night, when she felt his hard sharp enter her womanhood so gentle and careful, she felt his love in the same time. She felt this love all the time during their love making: when he held himself in check letting her time to adjust, when he pushed inside of her so tenderly not wanting to felt sore and by the way holding his control in track, when he finally let it go, not able to hold it anymore but not after bringing her in ninth cloud.
All this time she felt his soul connecting to hers, her heart pouring love for him, as much as his was pouring love for her.

Here we are... Hope you'll like the surprise...There'll be more soon.

Part 17

Two months later…

She drove as fast as could. She knew she had been followed since she had left the old motel she was resting in. She needed to go see him. It was time and she needed help.
She had felt it one month ago, the strange feeling she had felt four years ago. The book was right finally.
It was time to warn Liz and Max but she knew they didn’t know.
She went out of the car as quickly as she could not letting them know where she was going.
She knocked at the door and her sleepy friend opened the door.
“It’s time. We need to warn them. Hopefully he wouldn’t have move. The last time I saw him he was living at his parents.”

***************
Liz sat in the old restaurant her parents had held for years. When she had been back in Roswell two month ago, she had been shocked at its state. It looked in ruin.
Today it was different. She had worked on it so hard… It would be ready for Maria and Michael’s arrival.
Soon she would open it up again. Soon lots of young people will spend their evening here in the restaurant where she had grown up with her friends.
Her eyes wandered in the room, her brain recalling all the memory she had on it. Flashes started to speed in front of her eyes: he saw her and Maria working on their science project when they were in 8th grade, she saw Alex and Maria talking and laughing together, she saw her first day as a waitress, and she saw Max siting at his habitual boots looking at her, she saw him saving her life that day almost 7 years ago.

If only she had stopped him this day. If only any man had walked in this restaurant with a gun this day. If only Agnes hadn’t been sick this day.
If only…
She didn’t care about it anymore now, she had thought about it a lot when she was in Europe, and now she knew why she didn’t regret, why she couldn’t regret.
If this day had never happened, she would have never known how Max loved her, and she wouldn’t have realized how much she was loving him to.
He was her life now. It had been hard and painful all those years. But now she had won against the time… against the destiny.

The door opening behind her startled her, and broke her reverie.
“Hey Chica!”
Maria’s voice startled her even more. And she ran in her open arms. It had been two months, two long months without her best friend.
“Maria! I thought you wouldn’t be here before tomorrow.
Maria let her friend go, giving her a little place to breath.
“Well, you see, spaceboy and I change our minds!”
“You change your mind! I’d have love staying in Mexico!”
Liz’s head turned coming face to face with Michael smiling one.
“Michael!” She wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him like no tomorrow.

He seemed a lot happier than two months ago. This accident had been a big ordeal for Michael. Well, for Maria too but in a different way.
Michael was feeling so guilty for what had happened to Maria and for the lost of their child, it had almost killed him.
But their weeding just a month after had been their healing. She was in awe in front of the way they had recovered from this event. But they were happy now and it was all that matter.

“Hey, Chica it’s a good work you’ve done here!”
Maria exclaimed as she saw the room around her looking exactly as when it was years ago.
The last time she had saw this restaurant it had been only ruin.
“I know. Max helped me.”
Maria eyebrows hanged high as she stared closely at her friend.
“Max?… Soooooooo! Girlfriend, it was time I’ll be back! I want to know everything.”
Michael held his hand s in the air stopping his wife from going farther.
“OOOH! I’m not here anymore! Girls talk is not my thing… I’m on the kitchen.”
Maria and Liz looked at him as he ran in the backroom feeling that finally boys would always be the same.

************
“You must have something… He is like 4 years old, and his name is Zan.”
The school secretary looked from the computer in her office to the blond girl in front of her. She seemed frustrated by the lake of answers she was giving her.
“I’m sorry. I’ve any kids record as Zan… Don’t you have any surname, it will be easier.”
The blond girl looked at her friend who had been silence since the beginning. Was it safe to gave the surname? She didn’t know if They will search here in the school’s files to find his address. But she couldn’t take the risk that They find him before her.
Her friend gave her a simple nodded of the head indicating he was ok with the idea.
“Fine. Search at Evans. E-V-A-N-S.”
It took the secretary a few minutes to finally looked at them a smile on her face.
“I’ve 5 Evans record here; 2 boys: John Phil Jr. Evans, 5 years old, and Zachary Evans 4 years old, both record in Kindergarten.”
The blond girl gave a triumphal smile to her friend.
“Ok. Do you have the phone number?”
“I can’t gave you this information it’s confidential.”
“The address at least?”
The deception in the girl face was visible. But what could she do. It wasn’t her job to give this young woman information that were confidential.
“Miss please. It’s a question of life. This person is in danger.”
The secretary saw the desperated look on the young woman face and she knew it was true; She seemed to be an honest person.
“Maybe I can help you. I know there is an English teacher at the High school, his name is Evans too and he has a young son. My friend who works as a secretary at the high school talks to me about him. Maybe it’s the one you’re searching. If he is, my friend is authorize to give the teacher’s addresses.”
The blond girl was smiling again. This time she had found him. Well, she couldn’t see Max as an English teacher but it was a clue. They couldn’t miss it.

************
“So tell me Chica. You and Max…”
Liz blushed at her friend insistence. It wasn’t that she didn’t like to talk about Max, she had wait for this talk during one month and now she was ready to talk about it. She was sure of her future with Max now, almost. It was just that she was sure that Maria would not stop at the normal relationship question; no, Maria would want detail and she had swore to herself it would stay between her and Max.
“Are you going to stay in Roswell.”
“Yes.” This yes was sure and it made Maria smile. Her friend had been thinking about that for one month she was sure and she had finally took the good decision. Her life was with Max, son or not.
“At Max’s place.”
“Maria…” Liz warning wasn’t going to stop Maria. She could see her friend’s cheeks flushed and it was enough to her for have the answers she wanted.
“OH! Tell me Liz was it only one night when I wasn’t here, when you slept in my house and not at Max’s?” Liz’s silence was all the answer Maria needed.
“Liz I knew it! … Tell me, how was it? Was it explosive as I was sure it would be?”
Liz hadn’t time to protest again Maria curiosity someone behind her cut her before she could speak.
“What was explosive?”
Max’s voice froze Liz on place. He was behind her and he had slid his hand on her waist kissing her neck and she couldn’t move anymore, closing her eyes in pleasure.
“Hey, you.”
“Hey, yourself.” He couldn’t help resist the urge to kiss her, here, right now, pouring all the love he had for her on his kiss.
“So, how was your day?”
“I miss you.” Liz’s smile spread over her face even if she knew exactly that it was going to be his answer. He was saying that at the end of every day.
“I miss you too.”
Soon they were kissing again, completely obvious at Maria sitting in front of them completely forgotten.
She couldn’t help the grin on her face. Her friend was finally happy. It was obvious. They were both head over heel in love with each other.
When the kiss seemed to turn into making out session she clear her throat, reminding them from her presence. But she had to do it two times to have their attention.

Max turned slowly as he heart someone clearing its throat. He didn’t want to spoil his moment with Liz, he had missed her too much today.
Usually she’d come in his class, would enter slowly and would sit near one of his student, without him remarking her until she’d rise her hand asking a stupid question to have his attention.
He didn’t think any of his students have ever realized who she was for him. But it would come one day when he’d not resist the urge to kiss her in the middle of his class.

Liz blushed slightly, not wanting to meet Maria’s gaze. She had been completely out for a while. When Max was kissing her that way she couldn’t think about anything else.
“So Maria… What was explosive?”

************
“Mr. Evans don’t really like that I give his address and number. He has private life and didn’t want his students to know about it.”
Lisa looked at the blond girl in front of her. She seemed frustrated. But she couldn’t take the risk to give her Max’s address. She didn’t know a lot about Max’s life, but she knew he had secrets and didn’t want people to know about him.

“Look. I’m one of his student and I’ve…I’ve fail my last English’s exam. I just wanted some private class with him!”
This idea had been coming at the last moment, it was a stupid one but she hadn’t find anything else. Her friend wasn’t with her and he was always the one who found idea for her. She was simply desperate.
“I’m sorry, you must ask him during the class.”
“Do you know if he is again in the school?”
Lisa thought for a moment, this girl was becoming more and more suspicious. Why’d she absolutely want Max’s address? She seemed too old to be a student. Maybe she was someone from Max’s past. Someone he didn’t want to see. Maybe she was Zack’s mother. But if it was true had she the right to show her Zack?

Before she could answer to herself, two bombs were running in the room and one little boy crash on her laps, shrieking happily as her own son was coursing after him.
“Lisa! Yu’ve to p’otec me! Him wanna eat me!” Zack screamed hiding his little black head on Lisa’s bosom.
She couldn’t help the giggle that escaped her lips. This little one was so cute sometimes.
“Don’t worry Zack. Sam’ll not eat you.”
“P’omess?”

Lisa turned her head as she heard the blond woman gasped behind her. Her face was pale and she was looking at Zack curiously.
“Zachary Evans right… He is Max’s son, isn’t he?”
Lisa stayed still. Her face showing any feeling. What could she said? If she was really Zack’s mother, she had the right to know about him, but she didn’t want to take the decision for Max.
But in a way, if she knew Max, it’ll not be difficult to say it was his son, he was looking exactly like his father.
“Yeah… He’s Mr. Evans’s son. How do you know his name?”
The blond girl didn’t answer Lisa. She was gazing at Zack, looking like she had seen a ghost.
She approached him slowly, kneeling in front of him and touching his cheek slowly, in awe in front of this perfect little boy. The book was right, he was the One; she could feel it.
“You’re so much like your daddy. You know that, doesn’t you?”
Zack hid his head in Lisa’s bosom again, afraid in front of this strange person. He could feel something was wrong with her. But when he saw Lizzie above Lisa’s shoulder, he was immediately reassured. She would protect him. And he ran in her open arms.
“Lizzie!”

Liz had barely the time to open the door, when one little boy burst into her legs, hiding his little face in fear. She could feel he was afraid by the way his head stayed buried in her laps.
“Hey, baby.”
“Wanna see daddy.” He held pleading eyes toward her.

Max was the only one that could help him to feel better, Liz knew that. She was at ease with Zack now, but Max was his father no matter what. Max was the one whit who Zack felt completely protected.
“Dad is waiting at home baby.”
Her head raised searching for the cause of his fear and she had just to look toward the office to understand it. Her eyes fell on Lisa, still sitting on her chair, and on little Sam who seemed lost at his friend’s behavior: had he cause his fear?
Liz eyes then fell on the woman that was standing next to Lisa. It couldn’t be true. It couldn’t be her. No. What was she doing here. She must be everywhere but here.

“What are you doing here Tess?”

*************
Here we’re for the interesting part… Surprises! Be back soon.

His guys, here is part 18. Don't worry happier part are for soon. Tess arrival is not only a bad thing... Keep reading please...

Part 18

“What are you doing here Tess?”
Liz words question stayed unanswered for a moment. The silence reigning on the room seemed unable to go away, and was becoming awkward and stressing.
Lisa’s eyes couldn’t leave Liz’s pale face. Who was this damn blond girl and why Zack and Liz were so afraid of her?

Zack’s whimper brought the three woman’s eyes to turn toward the little boy. His face was always hid against Liz’s laps and now Liz could felt the wetness on her pants, he was crying. She had completely forgotten he could feel the other’s feeling. He must have felt the tension in the room.
She forced herself to calm down and knelt in front of him taking his little head in her hands.
“It’s ok Baby. We’re gonna see daddy.”
Zack’s sobs seemed like they would never stopped. It wasn’t worse but it wasn’t better. She slid her arms around his little body and raised him against her chest. She would not be able to stay in this place a lot longer. She couldn’t bear this bitch anymore. She couldn’t believe she had dared coming back.
She needed to warn Max. She glanced at her one more time, a determinate look on her face.
“Don’ dare approaching Max or Zack! He is not yours anymore!”
Before anyone could say anything she was gone through the hallway, running toward her car.

Tess stayed in the room without moving. She hadn’t foreseen to see Liz before meeting Max. She knew he would be more comprehensive. He was like her.
But now all her plan was spoiled… Or maybe there was a chance. It was a risk but she had to take it for their sake.
She started to walk toward the door, but Lisa’s grip stopped her.
“You heard what Liz said. She doesn’t want to see you.”
“I’m here for Max! Let me go! It’s too important!”

************
Liz sped through the way back at Max’s place. She could heart that Zack’s sobs hadn’t stopped since they were gone from the school. And could understand that, herself had difficulty to calm down.
She hadn’t been prepared to that. She was finally happy with Max. She had finally realized he was her life. She was starting to love her life for the first time in years; since Tess had appeared on their life.
She had ruined everything, her life, Max’s life, and Alex’s life, even Isabel had been touch. And now that everything was fine, now that she was at ease. She was back.
Like a curse that will always plane above her head.

Tears started to flow from her eyes and her head fell on the wheel as she stopped the car in front of the house.
Zack was crying even more, feeling her distress whereas he could barely understand his own feeling.

Max saw the car appeared in the front of his house and he was immediately startled by Liz’s pale face. He had felt something had happened, he had felt her feeling and Zack’s too.
He ran toward the car, opening the door and drawing her head against his chest, trying to calm her sobs. But tears started to flow from her eyes, without stopping.
“Shut. Babe… Tell me. What happened?”
Max could see Zack cried in the backseat, stretching his arms toward his. And he took his little hand in his, knowing it was all he could do for now with Liz in his arms.

“Max…Tess… She…”
“She what? Liz please tell me.”
Liz raised her head, seeing the worried look on Max’s face. She knew what she was going to say wasn’t going to ease his worried.
“She is back Max.”

*************
Max stood suddenly in front of her. His body froze by Liz’s words. Tess was back.
He quickly opened the backdoor and unbolted Zack’s belt, carrying him into the house as fast as he could.
Liz first didn’t understand what he was doing; His reaction was so sudden. She followed him, running behind his too fast steps. She was soon breathless.
Zack was always in his arms but his sobs had stopped, like he knew his father was doing everything to protect him.
Max started to throw clothes in a suitcase, pressing Zack little body against his side, not wanting to let him go.
Liz looked at him in wonder. What had he in mind?
“Max what are you doing?”

He first didn’t answer, until he had thrown the suitcase into the backseat of the car Liz had just left. He finally turned toward her, his face showing his urgency, and his torn feeling.
He was afraid. It was the first time she could see so much pain and fear on Max face in the same time, since the time he had spend under Pierce’s control.
“I… I’ve to go…”
He was running his shaking free hand on his face, in a nervous manner. Zack was plastered against his side, like he would never let him go.
“Max… Why?”
Liz was now afraid herself. He couldn’t go. He couldn’t let her here alone. They were happy now. It brought more tears in her eyes. Tess was definitely her curse.
How could she make him understand? He was already in the car, bolting Zack in his car seat. She needed to find something.
“Max… Don’t let me.”

Liz desperated ton startled Max. He turned toward her. Would she agree to come with him? He couldn’t ask her to throw her life for him one more time. He couldn’t.
“Liz…I’m… I’m sorry. I can’t let hr take him.”
“But she will not! We won’t let her do that!”
She brushed her hand against his cheeks trying to force his gaze to meet hers. But he was constantly avoiding her eyes. He knew if he did, he could not resist her.
“Max. We-won’t-let-her! I’ll fight her if I need to!”

Max finally looked in her eyes, needing her calmness to find his. And he found it. She was always his way back to the reason and it had worked again today. But he could not stop the tears and the anger in his eyes. Anger for Tess. For what she had done to him. Letting him alone with their child and going without a word.
Her voice was pounding his head as he remembered the words she had used this night. He would never understand the way she had looked. Lost and… afraid. Like something had changed in her, but she was always the same bitch.
She had said she couldn’t hold this baby anymore: the cries and everything.
‘I’m not a mother!’ She had shouted in his face. ‘I can’t hold this. They’ll not come to you until the book’s writes will realize. And now I’m sure it would never realize.’
He had never understand this last sentence and he dreamed about it during years and again today.

“Max.”
The voice brought him out of his trance. But it wasn’t Liz’s. It was the voice he had been afraid to heart during years. The voice that was haunting him, menacing him to take his son away from him.
Liz was standing next to him, she had taken Zack back in her arms and had froze in place like Max when she had heard her voice.
“Tess.”

Part 18b

“Max…You’ve to listen to me. Please it’s important.”
Tess’s pleading voice made nothing to convince Max. And when she approached him and Liz, stretching her hand to touch Zack’s cheeks, he gripped her arms stopping her motion.
“Don’t- touch- him!”
Tess held her hands high, trying to look as honest as she could to convince Max she was here as a friend. But she understood it would be hard for him. She had abandoned the child in his arms, saying probably things he had never understand. And now she was here asking for his pardon.
But if he’d don’t gave her some trust, she would have to take extreme measures. It was a necessity for him to understand. And if she could take care of Liz by way it would be better.
But now they were probably afraid she would take him back.

“Ok Max. I don’t touch him. You are right. I don’t deserve it. I’m not here to take him away from you.”
Max was confused suddenly but most of all he was hurt. How could she reject her own son?
He could have understood her desire to have his custody back even if he’d have not accepting that. He’d have fight for him. But now he was perplexed, knowing she would reject her son until the end was something that was against his own principle, against the nature of a mother.
He looked at her disgusted.
“How can you reject him. How can you reject your own blood! … Oh right, sorry I forget that you are not a mother, that you can’t handle that! Don’t worry, I can handle him myself.”
All this time he had talked ironically; using this ton, he felt stronger against her and it was a way to fight against the tears that was threatening to fall as he listen more and more to that bitch. But when he turned toward Liz and added: “We can.” He said it seriously.

“That’s true Max. I’m not a mother.”
Max was feeling more and more uncomfortable with this calm ton she was using, and Liz could felt it as much as Zack. He was losing his control.
She could felt the power growing on his vein and she was sure he was going to use it in a minute if she didn’t do something to stop this damn bitch.

“Why are you here Tess? If it’s not for Zack you probably want something?”
Tess turned her head toward Liz and was surprise to see Zack always in her arms. This little boy was perfect.
“He looks great in your arms Liz. You look great as a mother…. As it has to be.” She added in a whisper that she was sure Liz hadn’t heard, because she could felt her frustration.
“Answer my question! Why are you here?”
“I’m here to tell you the true, to protect Max, to protect Zack, but most off all to protect you, Liz.”
Liz gasped as she heard Tess words. How did she dare talking about protecting her when she had ruin her life thousands times; breaking it in bits.

Max had been silent for a moment but his reaction was the same than Liz. He was shocked.
“How can you talk about protecting someone whereas you can’t even protect and handle your own son! Whereas you can’t even do your role of mother normally!”
he was starting to lose his control and Tess too. She had no time for taking this cool. No time for being subtle, not even time for being careful.
“I’m not his mother Max!” She shouted in his face and then pointed a finger toward Liz.
“She is his mother!”

****************
Lisa sped on the highway back toward Max’s house. If this Tess girl was at his home, Liz would probably never forgive her.
This girl was Zack’s mother, she was sure of that now. She could not be anyone else. Liz would not have been react this way if it had been.
But in a way, she could have swear if Liz hadn’t tell her the true, that it was her, the mother. This little boy was looking a lot more like Liz than that Tess girl.

*************
“What did you just say?”
Max voice was full of surprise. He hadn’t expect Tess saying such kind of silly thing.
“You used to be a better liar Tess. And sorry if I hurt you ego.”

Shit! They’ll never believe her it was sure now. But it was the only thing she could do at this point. But years of lie had taking all the honesty she had on her. Now anybody would believe her everytime she was saying something. But it was the true.
She needed to find a way to make them understand. They’ll probably never have faith in her anymore, but if she use someone else it could work.
She brought her telephone to her ear after pushing the only number she knew by heart. The only number she used.
“Yeah. It’s me. Can you come a the 5541 Citrus street please. The residence place… Now! It’s urgent!”

Max and Liz looked in astonishment as Tess started to telephone in front of them. Was she crazy now. It wouldn’t seem this unbelievable to Liz. Tess had always be some kind of crazy to he, even in their best moment; She had always had this strange feeling about Tess, something unreal.
Like she had been one big nightmare that had guide and destroy her life for a while at a moment.
But now, it was sure she was crazy.
Zack her son. She had dream about that a thousand times. But it wasn’t true. Anything that Tess was saying was true.

Max started to pull her toward the house, taking Zack from her arms to lighten her sudden like Jell-O arms. Tess words, even if she didn’t believe any of them, had touched her.
He pointed a threatening finger toward Tess.
“I don’t want to see you here anymore. You’re crazy Tess.”
“No, no. Max wait.”
She caught his arms stopping him in his track and gripped Zack’s arms by the way accidentally.
But Max didn’t see it this way and pushed her hand aside.
“I said don’t touch him!”
he knew what she could do by simply touching people, he had been the first victim of it, and Zack had been the ‘happy result’.

She held her hand in defense, knowing well that Max will not hesitate using his power against her if he needed to.
“I don’t want to hurt him Max. You know that. I just want you to wait five minutes. Someone is coming and I know you’ll believe him.”
Her desperated ton was all that pushed Max to agree.
“Fine. Five minutes But I don’t believe someone can convince me that you’re not a liar.”
“Maybe not Max. But he would convince you to listen to me. I know he will.”

They didn’t have to wait five minutes, because a car was already speeding in the residence area and it stopped in front of the house.
A man go out of it, but nor Liz or Max could see his face as he looked around him, turning his head from side to side.
He took sight of Tess on the other side of the road and here next to her, was standing Liz. His face moved and he saw Max with a little boy, who was looking a lot like him, in his arms.
God, how he was happy to see them. But they thought he was dead and he didn’t know how they will react.

The moment Liz saw his face once he had crossed the road and came to stand next to Tess, she felt like she was falling. The world around her started to spin.
She turned her head and see that Max seemed as shocked as she was. His mouth hanged open and Zack was slowly sliding from his arms.
Her head turned back toward the boy. She must have seen wrong. He couldn’t be there. He was dead.

“Hi Liz.”
Those words were the last she heard, and her mind went blank.

Part 18c

Liz gasped for air as she waked up. Her head was spinning. She was lying on the ground, and she didn’t know where. Had she dreamed all this.
It had seemed so real; Tess being back, Max almost going away, and then Tess telling her she was Zack’s mother. And the boy it was … No it wasn’t possible!
Her eyes popped opened and she came face to face with Max. His head was hovering over her, and he looked worried. “Liz you ok?”
When he saw her open eyes he drew her head against his chest, happy that she was all right.
She could felt the tickling in her head. He had used his power on her.
“What happened Max?” her voice was again husky and she stood up on shaky legs, holding herself on Max strong arms.
“You faint. I’ll have to heal your head as you hurt yourself.”

Max was trying to be honest with her and to answer her question but his mind was concentrated on the boy behind him. The man he was sure was dead because of him.
He had jumped next to Max when he had seen Liz fell but Max had pushed him away, not wanting him to touch her. He wasn’t sure who he was.

Liz head shook from side to side as she searched for what she had seen. Was it a dream?
Then her eyes fall on Tess. It was true she was back. Lisa had arrived while she was unconscious and was standing next to Zack who seemed really afraid.
But what caught her eyes was the man next to Tess. The cause of her fainting. He had this same worried look Max had on his face. But was it real as he was dead.
“Alex?”

***************
“Michael, do you remember at which hour Liz had said to come?”
Maria approached her newly husband sliding her arms around his waist. “You know, I’m sure Max gonna popped the question tonight.”
She looked at his face when he didn’t react. And she saw his worried look.
“You ok?”
“Yeah… I mean. I don’t know. Something wrong. I can feel it. Max has a problem. Do you care going right now.”
“No Sure.”
She stood on her foot stopping him one more time before he reach the door.
“Michael. You sure everything Ok? I mean, beside this feeling?”
“Yeah. Everything is ok.”
His answered was far and she knew his mind was already at Max place where he was sure something was happening. Sometime she wished she was one of this aliens to feel what he was feeling and to understand him better.

***************
“Alex?”
“Hey Liz.”
Alex took a step toward his friend of forever. He had dreamed of this moment for years. Seeing Liz and all his friends again. But it hadn’t been safe until today. It was exceptional. He wasn’t supposed to be there. But today there were things more important to worry about. He knew Tess had made him come because she couldn’t convince them of her honesty, and he could understand that, after everything.

Liz stumbled forward, falling in Max arms. “Wait. You’re not Alex. Alex is dead.”
Her face was paler within the passing minutes and she could felt the spinning once again, but this time she would resist.
“Yes, it’s me Liz. I’m alive. I never die.”
“No! You’re not real.”
Alex took another step toward her but Max stopped him before he could go farther.
“And if you were a skin. A skin who had took Alex form. Alex is dead, I saw his dead body with my own eyes.”
“You think you’ve seen that Max. But you don’t. All this is unreal. If you let me explain you’ll understand.” Tesses voice was urgent but Alex turned toward her, warning her with a stare. “Not now Tess.”

He then turned back toward a very shook, very pale and very afraid Liz. He could feel Max was less afraid now that the shock was gone. After all who beside an alien could believe on resurrection, or things like that. But it was not the case here. Actually, it was a lot complicate than that, but they’ll understand.
“Liz how can I convince you it’s really me. Help me here, jeez!”
Liz flinched in Max arms as she heard his words. It was Alex’s favorite expression. But it wasn’t enough to convince her. Anybody could use this expression.
She looked at him with self control.
“If you’re really Alex you can find alone how to convince me.”
He flinched at her ton of voice. He had never heard Liz talk that way. That cold.
He stepped toward her and Max and tried to catch her eyes.
“Please look at me Liz. Look at me.”
His desperate ton made Liz turned her head back toward him. She was afraid he would mindwarp her if he was a skin. She didn’t want to be a puppet, some doll you throw away when you are bored of it.
But she didn’t want to look defeatist either. She was strong… So she raised her head and look defiantly in his eyes.

Those eyes, this feature. Everything on him was Alex. The cut on his forehead was the same, the curling on his lips too. Everything.
She tried not to show how much she was shocked. How much she wished it was him. She was a scientist, she needed proof.
And then he started talking again. With the same ton Alex had always used on her.

“Liz. Look at me. It’s really me… I’ve always trust. From the Kindergarten where we met, until high school. From the moment you came to me on the schoolyard asking me to play with you. We were young, we were kids, but since this time I’ve always trust you. Even when the things were the worth between us, when Max and his friends made their apparition in your life, even when you started to hide things from me. I’d have trusted you with my life… so please Liz. Today I’m asking you to trust me… Have faith in me…And believe me.”

Liz stayed froze after his long speech. Tears had formed in her eyes. She didn’t know how it could be possible for her, a scientist, to believe something like that. But the thing was clear: Alex was alive and he was standing here in front of her.

**************
Lisa had arrived the moment Liz had fainted. She was surprised by all the people in front of the house. There was Max who seemed ready to go with his suitcase and Zack in his arms and there was this blond girl: Tess. There was another boy too. A thin boy standing next to Tess.
She went out of her car approaching the little group in silence.
Max was now hovering over Liz body and there was this strange glowing of his hand as he put it on Liz’s forehead. What was he doing?
She didn’t say anything when Liz stood back on her shaking legs but clenched Sam little body more firmly against her side.
Something was happening she wasn’t supposed to witness. But she couldn’t help staying. Max was her friend. Someone who had help her when she was in hell with her life.
He had helped her as much as she had helped him with his son.
Liz screaming had made her jerked and she stepped back, drawing Sam with her.
But she kept listening as the young man tried to convince Liz he was someone she was sure being dead.
What was happening here? Dead people? Was this guy a friend of Liz? Or one of Tess?

“Max? What’s happened here? Is everything ok?”
All the little group turned toward her a frighten look on their face. Max jumped when he saw her.
“Lisa?…”
“Yeah. Can you tell me what’s happen? I’m a little lost here.”

Up to read a new part now…

Part 19a: two children born through the stars.


“Lisa!”
Max’s burst was full of fear and she realized anyone here had seen her. She plastered Sam a little more tightly against her side.
Suddenly she didn’t want to know anymore. Who was Max? What had he done? She didn’t want to know.
She just wanted her life back. When Liz wasn’t there. She knew it was selfish, but she couldn’t help it. Since she had been here everything had change. Max was always with her and they hadn’t spoken to each other in almost two months.
Of course they had spoken about weather and about Zack or even Sam; but she missed their evening when they just snuggled on the couch talking about each other’s life. Max had told her a lot. But apparently it wasn’t enough.

Since Liz had came into their life, she had taken her place on the couch. She was happy for Max. He looked happier than she had ever seen him al the time she had known him. But seeing her with him and with Zack made like a little hole on her heart.
Yeah, she just wanted her life back.

She stepped back when Max walked toward her.
“No Max. I… I think I’d better go.”
She dragged Sam with her and soon she disappeared behind the little door that gave on her apartment.
Anyone had time to say anything and Max turned toward his friend. He’d take care of that later. Right now he needed to clear all the questions that were running on his mind. He needed to know how his friend was back here in Roswell when everyone thought he was dead.

“Alex-.”
Alex cut him before he could go further.
“I’ll explain everything Max, but things are a little crazy right now. We are running out of time.”
Max frown feeling the urgency in Alex’s words. What was that all about?
He was suddenly aware of their surrounding. They had spent all this time in front of his house and his car’s power was open. The door was wide open too. He looked around and he saw that people had started looking at them through their curtains. It wasn’t good.
He pushed everyone toward the door spotting Michael and Maria’s car on the road.
“ Do you care enter the house. I need answers and I don’t want to alert the neighborhood.”
They all nodded making their way into the house waiting for Michael and Maria.

***********
Liz sat uncomfortably on the couch facing Tess siting on a hard chair. She cradled Zack protectively on her laps. He looked less afraid now, but she knew he could felt the tension in the room.
She was alone with the girl she had cursed even in her sleep for years. But it was her choice.
She had refused to be there when Maria will saw Alex for the first time. She already knew her reaction. She knew that, like her, Maria would faint, then when she would have recovered, she would jump on Alex not caring if it was a phantom or a skin.
All she would see would be her best friend in front of her.

She heard the shriek of Maria in the hallway and knew she had entered the house. She heard Michael’s gasp too and the following “What’s the hell!” that characterized him so well.

She hurt a loud noise and someone cursing and knew it was Maria’s fainting; she smile at how many she was foreseeable to see her friend’s reaction.
Her smile disappeared when she crossed Tess eyes. Those were warm and friendly but she didn't see that.
“Liz. I, know you have not faith in me but-.”
“You’re right Tess I’ve no faith in you. So please stop now.”
Her voice was cold and she was surprise by her own boldness. The girl hadn’t done anything for now, just threatening her to take Zack away from Max… and from her.
She would not support that. Zack was her baby. He was her little Max. She stroked his little back trying to taking on the feeling that he was in her arms and not in Tess.

*************
They were now all sitting on the living room. Maria and Michael were barely composing themselves. It had been a hard new and Michael had been hard to convince. More than Liz.
But now Alex being alive was slowly making it’s way on all their minds as he sat between Liz and Maria.

It felt right. A moment Liz felt like years ago. When they were young and free. Free from life and adulthood. They were together and happy, they were together and that’s all that matter.
But her eyes fell on the little bundle in her arms and she realized her mistake.
They weren’t like years ago. Things had changed. Lives had changed.

A comforting silence reigned in the room. They were all relishing this moment for themselves; just to be able to think.
But it was soon not enough for Liz. She needed answers. She wasn’t like Maria who could accept anything without asking for an explanation. But she was a scientist and she needed real answers.

Max seemed to read her mind because they turned toward Alex at the same time, both of them purposefully avoiding the urge to ask Tess.
“Alex. Can you explain?”

The young man took a deep breath. He had wait for this question. It was normal after all. They needed their explanation. He knew it was coming. But even if he had prepared himself for this, it didn’t make it less difficult. It was almost painful to think about it.
He eyed all his friends, one by one. Asking silently if they were ready. All nodded and he eventually laid his gaze on Tess.
She held her head high, and both seemed to converse without even talking. She finally nodded her head after what seemed like a silent fight between the two.

Alex turned back toward Max and his face show any feeling. His eyes were blank as he looked in his friend’s eyes.
“Max, I just want to ask you if your are ok if I take care of Isabel later.”
Max frowned suddenly. How could he had forgot his own sister. She had been Alex’s soul mate. She had been one of those who had been the most touch by his ‘death’.
But he had forget her. He just nodded, trusting his friend with her.

“Ok. Then… I think it’s time for revelations!” Alex tried to light the mood, but everyone looked hypnotized and waiting for his next words.
His seriousness came back quickly and he lowered his head, trying to find the strength and the rights words to started with.

After what seemed like a second for him and an hours for the other, he started talking.
“It started in April 2001. I was due to go in Sweden for 1 month. I’d prepared this travel for months and I was ready to go. But Tess came to me this night and she mindwarped me.”
Everyone glared at Tess and anger was evident in their eyes, but anyone said a words. All trusted Alex.

“It lasted like one month and half, but I can’t remember clearly what really happened during this period. All I know is that one-month after my so-called departure for Sweden, I woke up in a motel room. Tess was sitting next to me and she told me people were searching me. People from Antar.”
He stopped a moment, but again, anyone dared saying a words.

“I had found the translating of your book, and she kept saying me it was dangerous for me to come back in Roswell… I didn’t believe her, and I soon found out it was a mistake… Everything went well until the Prom.”
Everybody was now intently listening to their friend. They had all agreed silently not to interrupt him.
“The day that follow the Prom, Liz and Maria, you came to talk to me about Isabel; I remember this day like it was tomorrow.”
Liz smiled, recalling the day. It was the last time she had seen him alive, until today.
“Several minutes after you were gone, my food arrived… If I had know it would be my last Taï dinner in years, I would have relished it!”
This time, the other understood his need to light the tension in the room. It had became insupportable for him. And they eventually cracked a smile.

“When I woke up the day that follow, I found myself on this weird room. I learn later it was like jail for your planet. In less than one night, I had gone through the universe and now I was in jail in a planet I didn’t know…”
He stopped sensing the question that was on Max’s lips. He nodded to him and Max couldn’t help it.
“I don’t understand. I saw your body with my own eyes. Sheriff Valenti saw you in your car as it was crash on the road… How did they do that? I mean… was it a skin or something?”
They were all startled as Tess talked, cutting Alex before he could answer.
“It’s a lot more complicated than that Max.”
“Can’t you be more precise?”
Max’s voice was harsh and cold. He hadn’t expect her to answer, but after all she had come in friend. And for now she hadn’t done anything that would make her suspected.

Tess and Alex shared a knowing look. It was time to say the true. And Alex knew it was to Tess to say that. Even if the other were ignoring her for now, they needed to understand she was on her side.
“Max. Tess will explain you that. It’s too complicated for me: I was closed of from the world during several months and I never really understood what had happen during this period… Would you listen to her?… please.”
After a silence, Max just nodded, taking the decision for all his friends. He just needed to know.

Tess took a deep breath. Those part of the story was the hardest one. But she knew the worth would be for Liz.
“Fine… Um, I don’t really how to say that. Nor even how to explain that…” She shifted on her chair, feeling uncomfortable as all the gazes were toward her.
“Started with my question please… Why did I see Alex dead body whereas he was on… on Antar.” It felt so weird to say this word after so much years, but he felt that he would have to you it a lot in the following weeks.

“Khivar mindwarped you… all of you actually.”
When she didn’t see any form of reaction she just resumed explaining.
“Alex had been captured and he didn’t want you to know that. He needed Alex to be of any harm for his plan, and now that Alex knew the true, he was afraid he would tell you.”
“You mean how to go back home?… But we found that out anyway.”
Michael startled her. She knew she needed to tell them that too. Especially to Max and Liz. It was their life after all, and she was ashamed not having been able to tell them before.

“He didn’t really care if you’d go back on Antar.. Actually it’d have been easier to him of Max had been back.”
“So what was it?”
“… The prophecy.”
Max frowned at that. What was all that about? It seemed a lot more complicated he thought it would be. He wished it wasn’t too bad, he felt enough guilty just thinking Alex had been in jail on his plant all this time.
“What’s that?”

Once again Tess turned to Alex for comfort. She swallowed hard and crossed Max’s eyes and then Liz’s. She was so cold to her. But it was time now.
“In love and peace, two children will be born. Perfect in all, body and soul, heart and mind. Two children born and conceived through the stars…”

TBC…
Well, I hope you like this part… let me know…

Part 19b

‘In love and peace, two children will be born. Perfect in all, body and soul, heart and mind. Two children born and conceived through the stars…’

Those words were coursing through Max’s brain. He had heard them before. He knew them. It seemed so familiar but in the same time he couldn’t find out what they meant.
Tess had said them with a kind of respect… as if she was saying some kind of prayer.
Everyone in the room was silent for a moment. Surprise and confusion could be seen on all the faces.

“What was that?”
Michael words were the first to break the silence, and it fall like a bomb. Everyone turned to him like he had swear dirtily on god.
They didn’t know why they were reacting that way. But those words seemed sacred.

Tess and Alex looked as their friends reacted to the words. It looked like they had been as shocked as them when they had first heard those words.

Max eventually turned to Tess questioning her silently.
“That is it… the Prophecy… A priest wrote this Prophecy centuries ago on our planet. He had the power of foreseeing. It’s really rare. Most of the time their visions are too much to support and craziness takes them before 15… But Galegh found the way to control his power and to use it. He wrote books and books about the future of our planet, and he predicted the war that started one century ago…”
Tess felt the questions that were hanging on their lips but she didn’t stop. She needed to finish this before being cut.
“On one of his book he wrote those words I just said. Those children are meant to liberate our world from Khivar; like it says, those children are perfect in all… lots of searchers on Antar tried to understood the words, tried to see what it meant. They found out the true some days after our death on Antar… So they sent the book with us… the book that Alex translate… When Khivar found out Alex had translate it, he became furious, but most of all afraid… afraid that the prediction was true. So he took Alex with him on Antar. Like that he couldn’t tell you the true… What Khivar didn’t know at the time was that the Prophecy had be realized already.”
“What does it mean. It had been realized? And how can we be sure that this guy say the true?”
Michael finally managed to cut her before she could go farther. They would all lost the line if she continued at that track. He needed answer.
But actually the answer to the first question seemed to mater better to him now.

Tess tried to avoided Max and Liz’s gazes. How could she said that. She turned to Alex for assistance and found what she was looking for. He faced Max and Liz seriously.
“Liz was already pregnant with one of the child.”
“WHAT?”

Both Max and Maria exploded at the same time. What was this joke. Michael had his eyes wide open, finding it difficult to found his words.
Max stood up facing Tess and Alex.
“What are you saying? Is it a joke Alex?… If it is, then it’s not really funny.”
“You have to trust me Max. It’s true. I know any of you remember that but it’s true.”
He managed to forced Max to sit down again, his eyes never leaving Liz’s as she looked in shock.
He sat next to Tess again reassuring her with a look. Then he continued, knowing that Max and Michael will not contain themselves for a long time.
“Ok… Do you remember when we went to Vegas.”
He didn’t wait for their answers, and just continued.
“Something happened between Max and Liz when we were there… Liz, I don’t really know all the stuff, but you talk to Max about something, a secret you were hiding from him… I was a little confused when you talked to us about that, due to Tess mindwarped… It was something about a Future Max or something….”
Liz gasped at his words. How could he know about that. She had never talk to anybody about that beside Maria. Not even Max.
“I never say anything about that. How do you know?”
“I tell you Liz! You think you didn’t say anything, but actually you did. You don’t remember it that’s all.”
It was becoming a lot more that she could take. Was it real. Had she already been pregnant with a child before? It was so frustrated to not be able to remember something like that.
“Continue… please.”
Alex didn’t wait anymore, Liz and the other needed to know. Actually it was more Max and Liz who were concerned.
“… when we were in Vegas, you told Max about this future Max guy. I think… I think that you probably couldn’t take it anymore, so that’s why you say the true. When we go back from Vegas, you two were back together… Any of us thought to ask you how it was possible, you were just together and we were just happy seeing you that way… It was… natural. Yeah, I think it’s the word, you two looked natural… It didn’t take long before you two.. uhm… were.. say intimated…”

Liz’s eyes started to swell with tears as she listened to Alex. How could she had forgotten all that? The nights she had spent with Max, the day she had told him the true. She knew she would have to explain to Max about Future Max now. But it would be a lot different today. She had dreamt to tell him the true during all this year. It had killed her to hid that from him. Why couldn’t she remember something that was so important to her at the time.

“One month later, Liz discovered she was pregnant with Max’s child… Zack.”

Max and Liz gasped at the same time.
Max because he had dreamt about that so much it seemed unreal. And Liz because she had feared Alex would say that.
So it was true, Zack was her son. Not Tess. He had never been Tess… How could she have been so stupid. She hadn’t even be there for her baby during all those years, thinking it was Tess. Her own blood had been without a mother because of her. She had flew away from him and had lost four years with him. She didn’t care anymore how it had happened, how she had been able to forget about her own son; she just needed to be with him right now.
Her head turned toward the little door of Max’s office where Zack was watching TV. He was probably asleep by now but she didn’t care. She imagined his little body curled on the couch with his thumb on his mouth.
And images of him baby came to her mind. But what saddened her the most was that it wasn’t from her own memory that the images came from; but from all the pictures of him that Max had shown her.

She suddenly stood up and ran toward the little office.
Everyone in the room stayed shock as her friend and soul-mate flew away from them. They could understand her; but Max was the one who understood her the most.
He knew this feeling. The one he had felt for one long year. A guilty feeling; but most of all anger. Anger for missing so much time with his son. Anger for being so stupid. But he knew it was different for Liz as she hadn’t meant it. She didn’t know Zack was her son at the time.
He stood from his seat and started to make his way in the little office, but Alex stopped him with a hand on his arm.

“Later Alex… please. I need to know if she is ok.”
Alex recognized the tenderness in Max’s ton. The way he talked about Liz hadn’t change through the years. He was always the same. Beside he had a son now and that his care for person he love seemed to have increased with the years.

Alex dragged Max more toward the door of the office were he would be out of earshot of the other.
“I told you Max. We are running out of time… Liz is pregnant again.”

TBC… hope you like… let me know please…
read my other fics Say goodby to yesterday... give it a try... please.

Part 20a

Max entered the little office crossing the door which had stayed wide open. Liz was knelt on the floor next to the couch, her head hanging low as she contemplated a sleeping Zack.
She stroked the back on his head tenderly, brushing away the bangs that had fallen in front of his closed eyes.

She felt Max the moment Max had entered the room. She heart him closed the door behind him and walked until he was standing right behind her.
She didn’t bother turned around, not wanting to met his gaze. She didn’t want to stop staring at Zack anyway. Her little boy.


She couldn’t help the smile on her lips as she realized how much it meant. She had a son… Max’s son. And if Zack was her son, it only meant one thing: Max and Tess had never had sex. She was sure of that.

But she couldn’t recall making love to Max herself so how could he remembered. She knew Max had always in his mind the night he had spent with Tess, even if the fact wasn’t real, the feelings them were real.

She wiped away those thought from her mind. She couldn’t think about that right now. She had other things to think of… She knew exactly why Alex and Tess were here, and she had heard Alex told him when he had stopped him in front of the door. She had no choice now.
The silence reigned on the room for a moment until she felt it was time to cut the tension.

“I know Max… I’ve known for two weeks.”
Max didn’t bother to ask her what she was talking about. He already knew. The question was why hadn’t she told him. Was she afraid he wouldn’t accept it? No, it was his baby to. His blood. No it must be something else.

As if she had read his mind, Liz answered his question when he kept silence; but she never turned over, her eyes glued on the little boy cuddled on the couch.

“After what happened to Maria I…I was afraid… I thought it was because we were human and that… that we couldn’t have babies together… I was so afraid that… that you react the same way Michael did… It was hurting so much to look at him… and see the pain in his eyes… It would have been unbearable to see you that way.”

Max could heard her sobs choking her small body and the shaking in her voice. She suddenly turned toward him and he hold a sob when he saw her crying face.
He hadn’t meant to make her cry. But he hadn’t even talk. Once again he had hurt her. He had been blind like always. God, what was wrong with him!

He took hold of her arm and drew her toward him, forcing her gently to stand up.
He drew her against his chest and hold her tight beside her struggles. She soon gave up as she realized it was were she felt safe, where she belonged.

He stroked her back soothingly with one hand as the other pressed her head against his shoulder. He had never seen her cry that way; she sobbed with such forced it was shaking her whole body.

“I’m so sorry Liz… I’m so sorry you felt that way… So sorry you didn’t felt safe enough to tell me.”
Sobs started to raked his own body as he realized how much he had been blind. She had known for two weeks and he hadn’t even seen the difference.
Her soft voice cut him from those forbidden thought.

“I’m so afraid Max… I… I’m so afraid not being a good mother.”
Max framed her face with two hand, his thumbs brushing the tears that were still falling on her cheeks.
He forced her gazed to meet his;
“You are the best mother a child can dream to have… The best.”
“But… Max, I… I don’t even remember giving birth to my baby… I don’t even remember being pregnant… And I abandon you and Zack… what a mother could I be?”

Max frown as she expressed her feeling. Did she really thought she had abandoned him and Zack? But when he heard her last question a smile made his way on his lips. He couldn’t help it, it was too much to resist.

“You’ll be the best Liz… The best… you didn’t abandon Zack or… or me, or anyone else. You didn’t know, Liz… You didn’t know and you couldn’t guess… I didn’t remember either, and it hurt badly… Not remembering making love to you for the first time or when you told me you were pregnant. God it hurt like hell!… But all that matter is now Liz. We are together, that all that matter to me. We’ll go through that… together.”

He took a deep breath as he thought at what he was going to say next. The smile and awe on his face wasn’t got unnoticed by Liz. He placed a hand flat on her abdomen and looked deep down on her does eyes.

“This baby is our Liz…Think of it as a second chance; it’s like a little miracle; we created a life together Liz. Our love for each other did it… So please be happy for that.”
The awe in Max’s voice took her breath away and she could now imagine what his reaction had been when she had told him about Zack.
His smile was contagious and she soon found herself smiling back. “Thank you.”
She covered his hand with his as the two of they lay on her flat tummy. It was the first time in weeks she realized who was under their hands.

“For what?”
Max never left her gaze as he grinned with happiness.
“For opening my eyes…”
“Thank you.”

******************
Max and Liz stayed wrapped in each other arms for several minutes until Max felt Liz leaned more deeply in his embrace.
“You should go to bed. You’re tired.”
“No I’m not.”
But he heard the yawn in her voice. She sound like Zack.
He understood now where did all those manner Zack had came from. Those manners that weren’t his and that he couldn’t recall seeing in Tess. He understood now the glint in his eyes, he recognized the shy smile he was giving him sometimes, his stubbornness too was Liz’s.

“Please Liz. I don’t want you to be to tired… You’re carrying our baby remember.”
“Don’t used that line on me Max Evans.”
He knew beside her ton that she was giving up.
She soon disentangled herself from his warms body and her gaze fall on Zack.
“What about Zack Max. I don’t want to let him.”
“Don’t worry, I take care of him.”
“I… Max, I want him to-.”
He cut her before she could go farther, reading her mind.
“I’ll bring him in our room as soon as he his ready…”

Liz nodded slowly thanking him silently for understanding her so well. She then turned toward the little couch. Zack hadn’t even stirred when they were talking. She knew he could feel the tension that had flowed around him, and the day had be rough for him.

She knelt beside him and stroked his hair softly, kissing his forehead tenderly before reluctantly standing up.
She was falling of exhaustion herself. The day’s events were taking her hold on her and she was sure she will not be able to make it to the bathroom.

Max kissed her tenderly on the lips before motioning to the door.
“Go. I’ll take care of the other too.”

Part 20b

Alex, Tess and the Guerins sat on the living room in silence. Anyone had dared say a word since Max had left the room. They were all lost in their own thoughts happy to be able to thought about that after all the events of the afternoon.

Maria kept her head on Michael’s shoulder. She hadn’t been able to look at Alex in the eyes. It was again difficult to realize it was he, her best friend, who was sitting here in front of her. It had taken so much time for her to accept his death. And now he was alive! No it was unreal.

But it was the true; he was here flesh and bones. She looked at him and notice for the first time the change in his feature. His eyes were more somber but still friendly, the little boy’s face he had carried most of the time during their high school’s years had became one of a man. He looked a lot older than when she had seen him for the last time.

He seemed a lot stronger too. His chest was well build and she was sure he could rival with Max now.
She noticed the several cuts he wore on his face too. One marked his forehead from his left eyelids to his bangs. He had another one under his cheek, which ran to the back of his neck.
God what had those monster done to him?

She wiped away her bad thoughts when she heard Max enter the room. Everyone turned to him, waiting for his next words. Suddenly he was back at his place of leader he hadn’t honored for years.
He was carrying Zack in his arms and Maria’s gaze softened as she notice the tender way he holding him against his side. This guy was definitely a natural.

She stood up and made her way toward him.
“Is Liz ok? May you want me to take care of him? I’ve had enough of those talk for tonight.”
“Liz is ok, thanks for asking… and actually I have had enough talk too for tonight Maria so I think it’s better if you all come home now.”
He turned toward all the other as he said that, making clear he wanted to be alone. But Alex didn’t seem to see it this way.

“We are not letting you Max. It’s too dangerous… And I think we have to talk again.”
“Give them a break Alex.”
Anyone had expected Tess to take Max’s side. But she seemed to have change too. Her eyes showed pain and tenderness at the same time as she looked at the little boy in Max’s arms.

Max didn’t wait for Alex to complain once again.
“You can crash in the office tonight if you prefer. But I want time alone with Liz and my son… We’ll talk later… Michael and Maria you can go back home, I’ll phone you tomorrow morning.”

This time, anyone complained and they all made their way to the front door as Alex just sat on the couch waiting until Max came back.

It wasn’t long until he reappeared in the room.
“I really don’t want to talk tonight Alex… There is a couch in my office and the bathroom is the door next to the stair. Liz and I are on the left next floor if you need anything… Now I’m gonna put him to bed… Goodnight Alex.”

He would have been friendlier, but the memory of what he had said to him just before he came in the office was still fresh in his mind. He needed time to think about it, time to talk with Liz.

*************
The morning came fast most to Max delight. He hadn’t slept all night, just watching the two people he loved the most sleeping peacefully. Both of them tugged under his arm.

All night, he had just thought. About his life and Zack’s. About Liz, about the way he was sure their life was going to change.
Liz was pregnant now and they were going to deal with Khivar again. Who was he to break his life again? He had never met the man, but he didn’t hate him the less.
After what Alex and Tess had told them yesterday, he was sure he hadn’t hate a man more in his life.

Finally, he was happy that it was now dawn; He needed answers.

He slowly slid himself away from Liz and Zack bodies, wincing when he heard Liz groan at the lost.
He made his way toward his office where he was sure Alex wasn’t sleeping. He had made clear yesterday night that he would stay awake all night to prevent anything to happen to them.

He opened the door and found him sitting on the couch reading an old newspaper.

“Hey Max. Already awake?”
Max just nodded and smiled friendly. He wasn’t in the mood for the greeting. He knew he was being rough, but he would be until Alex gave his the answers.

“Wanna some cafe Alex… there is some in the kitchen.”

A moment later, the both man sat at the kitchen table, holding a mug on their hand.
Any of them knew what to say. Both lost in their thoughts.
Max knew Alex was able to give him the answers he was searching for. All of them. But he couldn’t find the strength to ask him.

Eventually, Alex made the first step.
“What do you want to know Max?”
“Everything.”
Alex’s chuckles startled Max but he wasn’t ready to joke with his friend.
“Can’t you be clearer.”

Max had thought at what he wanted all night; he had tried to make the questions sound as easy as possible as if he was going to ask them to his students. But now that it was time, he couldn’t find a way to ask him anymore.

“I… I just want to know what I have to wait for? I mean about… about Khivar… I know Liz is pregnant, and I know it mean that Khivar will search for us, but… does it mean we have to flew?”
“Kind of… It depends of you… If you think it’s better, Tess and I can help you… Myself, I really think it’s the better for you and your family.”
“What do you mean you can help us?”
“There is a place where people like you are living here on earth. Tess and I have been living there for a long time. Since we come back from Antar actually…”
“Wait, what do you mean people like me? There is other alien living on earth?”
“Yeah, I don’t really know how to explain that but… um… When Tess came on Antar just after Zack’s birth, she was alone, and completely lost. She knew she was the only one who was able to save your and Liz’s son but she didn’t know anyone nor the place. She finally found the family of a scientist who had sent you here, Hellisar. They helped her to prepare herself to kidnap Zack And me. She didn’t tell me everything, but I know those people help her a lot and in less than two months, it was a small army which had taken form just under Khivar’s nose. But he never saw anything. In one night they had liberated Zack and me from Khivar. He didn’t remark our disappearance before the morning and we were already on our way to the Granylith as Hellisar had found a way to make it work again. When they realized Khivar will use everything to have Zack back, they decided to come with us, knowing that, anyway, they will be killed. So they come with us, more than 20 men with wives and children. We were 53 when we arrived back here… Hellisar and all the others decided to settled on a little town near Chicago, they build the place that we called Callarina: it means invincible in Antarian language. It’s huge and it made with a special material, sort of metal where any power can be used, not even Khivar… That’s why I think it is safe for you. If you stay here, Khivar will find you easily, but if you came to Callarina, people will help you and Khivar will not find you, as his mind can’t go through this material… I really think it’s the best for you and Liz Max… at least until the baby is born.”

Part 20c: Departure and new life…
A/N: ok you can’t say this part is short!!!! I’ve to post it on two times due to the length! Oh and… end of the part is an NC-17 rated!!!!

“Do you mean we have to move… I mean leaving Roswell and our jobs and… our friends?”
Liz couldn’t believe that. She had been here for two months. She had finally found peace in her life like never before. But as if curse had been written on her name, her life was once again broken.

In a way she knew it was because of her. If she had never came back here in Roswell, she would have never met Max again nor Zack. They would not have mate and she would not be pregnant.

She had surprised herself dreaming about a great little life here in Roswell; just Max, her and Zack. She was supposed to open the Crashdown during the week. But all her plans were destroyed by the turn of events.

Max sat quietly, facing Liz at the kitchen table. He had been siting here since dawn, talking with Alex and now explaining Liz.
Alex had proposed to stay but he had refused. It was a decision they had to take alone. Just he and Liz.

“Liz, I know it seems unfair but… didn’t you know that when you decided to come back to Roswell?… Our life, my life had always been unfair. But…”
he slid her small her into his large one’s and started stroking its back with his thumb in a reassuring way.
“But I want you to know I won’t take this decision alone. If you want us to stay, we’ll stay… and I’ll do everything to keep you and the baby safe.”

Liz wanted to say yes. She wanted to ask him to stay here in Roswell where she could pretend to have a normal life. But it wasn’t possible. Max wasn’t capable enough to face Khivar, not now that he had a son and a family to think about. Khivar knew his weakness, he knew she was his weakness. Alex had made it clear.
It wouldn’t be fair to Max to ask him to live every day and every night fearing that someone would attacked Zack at school, or her at the Crashdown.

“I think… I think we better go Max.”
She looked at him with her eyes full of tears. She didn’t want to show him her pain but it was too much. She knew it was the right thing to do.
“I think Alex is right. We have to go… for Zack and for the baby… And our friends will come to visit us and…”
She didn’t know if she was trying to convince him or herself, but it was helping so she kept talking until he stood and brought her to his chest, hugging her until she gave up and cried.

She was sure she had never cried so much in two days, and it wasn’t only due to her pregnancy.
She held tight on him until her sobs subsided, but her head continued to lay on his chest as she asked.
“When?”
“Alex thinks the better would be the better…”
“What does it mean?”
“Tonight would be great.”

************
Alex sat on the couch in Max’s living room facing his friend. He had seen the determination in Liz’s eyes to not let him see her pain to leave Roswell. But it was failing, he knew her too much to ignore the pain that was obvious on her face.
Michael sat beside him as he talked, Max had explain everything and he was ready to follow them with Maria right after having taken care of everything in Roswell.
They needed to erase every clues that they had been here during17 years. Michael and Alex will take care of that with Isabel once she would be informed about everything.

It hurt Max to leave Roswell without talking to her or saying his parents, but he knew it wasn’t for a long time.
Alex had said that everyone who knew about them should come. He knew Khivar and he knew he would use everything he could to protect himself from the two children of the prophecy.

Alex had also told them that he knew about the child now. Like Tess and all the aliens who lived on Earth and on Antar, he had felt the heir.
It was difficult to explain to Max and Liz that everyone who had powers could feel when a heir was created without them even knowing. He knew Max should have felt it but he just didn’t know what the feeling was like so he couldn’t have.

Eventually, Alex started to talk knowing they didn’t have a lot of time.
“Tess is gone this morning just after you told me you were ok to go. She’ll in Callarina when you’ll arrive. Hellisar had been said that you were coming and everything is prepared for you there.”
“How does we go there?”
“The better is that you leave tonight, around midnight. There is a flight for you at 5 O’clock tomorrow morning in Albuquerque. I’ve reserve ticket for you.”
Alex handed Max a packet.
“There is three tickets that way you can stay with Zack during the flight. There is the address where people can help you in case Tess would not be there when you arrive in Chicago. There name is the Collins; they know about you and they are great friends of me and Tess. But there is any reason you’ll have to contact them. Tess should be there… normally.”

Everyone in the room stayed silent for a moment. Everything was clearer and clearer and it became more real at every words Alex was saying. At this moment, Liz realized that her life was going to change radically.

************
“Why a’r we mo’ing Daddy? Why can’ we stay in Roswell?”
Max sat on Zack’s bed trying to explain his little boy they needed to leave Roswell, that he will probably never see his friends from school again, and that it was because he was going to have a baby sister or brother.

This last thought brought a smile to his lips and he couldn’t help glancing at Liz who was packing a suitcase for Zack. She gave him a sad smile back, and returned to her task. She had been keeping herself busy all the afternoon, knowing it was the only way for her not to think about tonight.

His eyes fell back on Zack, and amber eyes met amber eyes.
“I know it’s not what you want little man. I know you’ll prefer stay in Roswell but it’s too dangerous for us.”
“Bu’ why?”
Zack threw his hands in exasperation. He didn’t want to leave Uncle Mickey and Auntie Maria and Auntie Isabel, he didn’t want to leave Lisa and Sam.

Liz felt that Max was ready to give up and she slowly knelt beside him and Zack, taking Max’s hand in one of hers and Zack’s little one in the other.
“If we need to go baby it’s because…” She glared at Max like waiting for his nod and continued when she read his agreement in his eyes.
“It’s because Daddy and I are expecting a baby… Do you know what it mean Zack?”
He simply shook his head waiting for an answer. Liz lowered his little hand to her flat abdomen and laid it there with her own hand covering it.
“It means that I’ve a little baby inside my tummy… and there are bad people who don’t want me to have the baby; and they’ll hurt daddy, you and me if we won’t go away… Do you understand?”
Zack just nodded his head, he didn’t want anyone to do bad things to daddy and Lizzie.

He suddenly frowned, a question popping in his mind.
“Why is it daddy’s too, As.. as it’s on yu’r tummy?”
“Because daddy give it to me, so it’s his too.”
“How?”

Max was in awe at how easily Liz answered Zack’s questions. She was at ease with him, talking like she had known him from the beginning. Ant it hit him, Liz was his mother and she definitely honored this title she owned.

“Well, you see baby, Daddy and me, we love so much, we wanted to show it to each other and daddy gave me a baby to show me how much he loves me… the same way he gave you to me.”
She turned to Max saying that, wanting to prove her point to Zack but to him too.

“My f’iend at sc’ool he had a li’le sis’er. And he say’ his mummy has a baby in her tummy. Is my sis’er in yu’r tummy?”
Liz eyes lit up at his words and she stroked his hair lovingly, a smile adoring her face.
“Well, I don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy, but yeah it’s your sister or brother who is in there.”
She rubbed his little hand while it’s still laid plastered on her abdomen.
“I wanna a sis’er. Can’ yu make it a gi’l?… fo’ me?”
Both Liz and Max laughed at that, and Zack pouting was just too cute to resist.

Max eventually stood up, attiring Liz with him.
“Ok, little man, it’s time to sleep now.”
“Yu wake me when we go Daddy?”
“No, you’ll be asleep. When you wake we’ll be gone. You should say goodbye to your room little man. You’ll not see it for a long time.”
There was a silent for a moment, a Zack hold his hand waving.

“Bye Bye.”

***************
Midnight came fast. Too fast. Everyone was now on the front porch. Maria and Michael had insisted on resting to help them packing and Alex was there continuing to inform Max about what to do.
“You should take the old national all the way to Albuquerque. You’ll arrive on time for your flight. And don’t forget to call Tess from the airport.”

Max nodded not saying a word. If he did, he knew it would bring other questions, and now it was time to go.
“It’s ok Alex. Thank you for organizing all that. I know you don’t have had most time.”
Alex slapped him on the back friendly, resisting the urge to hug him. They will see each other in less than a month. The time for them to take care of everything here in Roswell, the biggest part being to talk to Isabel. It was what he feared the most; and knowing that Max wasn’t there to calm a temper was frightening him.

Liz stood in front of Maria, a lonely tears running on her cheek.
“We’ll see you soon Chica, don’t worry.”
Liz didn’t resist to pulled her on a sisterly hug, letting her sobs flow through her throat. “I wish you should come.”
“I wish I could too Babe. But I’ve to stay with Michael… and you have to protect this baby of you.”

Maria smiled sadly, trying to give her friend all the courage she could. She should be jealous that Liz was pregnant, but she wasn’t. She just remembered what it had felt like to realize she was pregnant and to live this few month with a life in her womb, and she couldn’t help feeling happy for her best friend. It was all she deserved; her and Max.

It was now time to go and Max made sure Zack was well buckled on the backseat. He hadn’t even opened an eyes when he had come to carry him in the car.

He sat back on his seat, and eyed Liz sitting beside him. Tears were streaming on her cheeks but she tried to smile at him. It was what he needed to have the courage to pulled the car from the front porch.
He looked one last time at all their friends gathered on the front door, and looked away. This departure had been fast, but deep inside of him, he knew he would be back one day. At least to show his unborn child where he and Liz had grown up, where his love for her had grown deeper everyday.

***************
September 4th, 10 a.m., Chicago Airport

Tess passed back and forth on the big hall of Chicago airport. She had been waiting for Max, Liz and little Zack for almost one hour.
He had phoned her this morning at 5 (New Mexico’s hours), and they seemed to have take their flight well. But they were supposed to be here at 9h30 and they weren’t there.

She had tried to ask someone at the information stand, but anyone had been able to tell her where they were.
She started to struggled with her purse, trying to find her phone, but she stopped dead in her track as she saw the little family heading right to her.
A smile made her way on her face and she greet they when they nearest her.

“Hey! I was starting to get worry.”
“Sorry about that, the flight was late.”
Max’s voice was weak and she knew he hadn’t slept for a while. Large mark under Liz’s eyes told her that she hadn’t take lot of sleep either.
Little Zack was, him, full awake, his rosy cheek and bright smile couldn’t be miss. He looked at her strangely, his head falling to the side as he studied her feature.
She wanted to look away but his eyes were breathtaking, as if they hold his whole soul, all his thoughts.

Max looked at Tess as she continued to glare at Zack in his arms. He could felt starting to lose temper beside him. It was upsetting the way she was looking at Zack, like he was a god or something.
He cleared his throat trying to get her attention back to him.
“Maybe we should go.”

Tess tore her eyes away from Zack meeting Max’s own amber’s one. They were definitely the same.
“Sure, my car are one the parking lot. Again three more hours and we’ll be home.”

*************
Max couldn’t tear his gaze away from the two sleeping body on the backseat. Liz had finally gave up on slumber and let herself fall asleep. It had been a hard night for everyone, traveling in car in the middle of the night, then waiting more than an hour at the airport. Zack had been an handful all the time, falling asleep only once they were on the flight.

Max couldn’t blame him, he knew he was feeling the tension and the pain of leaving Roswell and their friends so suddenly. But now he was asleep again, his head reposing on Liz’s bosom as they both laid on the backseat.

Tess eyed him from the driver seat trying to catch his attention.
“So Max, we didn’t have time to talk a lot since yesterday… Do you have any question ?”
Max couldn’t look directly in her eyes. He couldn’t help feeling awkward beside her, knowing he had always this feeling of her when they had ‘virtually’ slept together.

“Actually yes, I’ve one…” He rubbed his chin in a nervous manner, trying not to met her gaze.
“Do you have any… memories… you know… about what Khivar made us think… we have done?”
he knew his question wasn’t really clear. But he couldn’t made it clearer, his mind was too blurry and confuse at the moment. So he just waited for her answer, his eyes glued on the driveway.

“Max, you have to know that Khivar used me to mindwarp you… I don’t remember anything that he made you think we did… but I remember the reality. It’s clear in my mind… I can again feel the pain it was when he was controlling my mind, and even if I’ve tried, I couldn’t resist… At that moment I realize what I’ve done to Alex; What I’ve put him through.”

She posed for a moment. Max had heard the sorrows in her voice. He met her eyes but she quickly looked away.
“I can’t remember anything of… what you remember… but, I can make you see what is true… to you and Liz too... If you want.”

“You can do that!?” Max’s sudden burst made Liz whimpered and he quickly forced himself to calm and repeated his question less loudly.
“You can do that?… I mean, made us remember?”

Tess never met his eyes, too afraid to see the pain and the hateful glare she was sure to met if she looked up.
“I was the one who mindwarp you Max… even if Khivar was controlling me and my power, I was the one who took your memories away and replaced them… all your memories are hide somewhere inside of you. I can make the mindwarp go on the other way as I was the one who made it… I can’t assure you there will be everything, but most of all will be recovered.”

don't go... there is the sequel right behind!!!!!

Part 20c cont'

September 4th, 1 p.m., Green Bay, Wisconsin

By the time they reached Green Bay Liz and Zack had woke up and they were now quietly seating on the backseat, playing some card Zack had brought with him.

Max couldn’t help smiling as he watched them interact. During those few months, he had never realized how much Liz was at ease with Zack. He could see she put everything for him, her whole attention was concentrated on him when he was talking. Without even knowing it, she was acting like a mother since the beginning. And he knew that Zack had felt it too.

He was brought back to the reality when the car pulled on the front porch of a little house. They had left the town and had longed Michigan Lac until they reached this little place, lost between an immensity of water and a green landscape he wasn’t used to.

“Are we there?”
“Yep… Your new house.”
Max just looked at Tess when she went out of the car and stepped behind the trunk to take their luggage.
He turned to Liz and was relieved to found her smiling.
“It’s so beautiful Max!”
“What were you waiting for?”
Liz met his eyes, her smile fading away suddenly, most to his displeasure. He didn’t like seeing her unhappy.

“I think I was waiting for something less… friendly… you know the way Alex talked about, it seemed more like a facility or something… But here… This landscape, it’s definitely gorgeous.”
She turned her head toward Zack; his head was glued to the window.
“Well baby, up to see our new house?”

Liz stepped carefully on the little house, Max on her heel and Zack at her side. She couldn’t help feeling kind of happy to move. During those two months she felt like invading Max’s house and life, as if it wasn’t her place. It had never felt like her own house back there in Roswell.
But here, it was like a new beginning for there new found life and family. It was new for her and for Max too. She would felt at home on this house… She only hope it wasn’t so far from Roswell and from their friends.

Max slid a arm on her waist as he felt her hesitate. She pushed her gently as Zack dragged her into the house from his side.

“Guys, I’d be happy to show you the rest of the house but we have a meeting right now.”
“Can’t we have a minute to settle. It was a rough day for everyone.”
Max complained. He knew Liz wasn’t in the mood to meet other from his kind and Zack didn’t seemed in a good mood too after all this travel.
All he wanted now was a calm afternoon with his family, trying to be familiar with this new place.

But Tess didn’t seemed to understand that and she just kept insisting more.
“Max please. Hellisar had waited to meet you. They just want to be sure you’re ok; it would not last long I promise.”

***************
Tess led them toward a little way which was longing the Lac. Anyone could be seen several miles away. They had definitely chosen their place.

They had barely crossed the little garden that was giving on the beach when Zack started to pulled on Max hand.
“Daddy. I don’ wanna go! I wanna go fish!”
“Not today Zack. Today we are meeting friends.”

Zack pushed on Max hand trying to free his own little one from his father’s grip.
“Bu’ I don’ wanna mee’ fwiend! I wanna go fish!”
“I said no fishing today Zack! End of discussion!”
Max’s harsh ton startled both Tess and Liz and they all stopped staring as Zack’s lower lips quivered and he started to cry. Max realized his mistake at this moment. He hadn’t meant to scream on him but the day’s events were starting to get over him. He wasn’t that happy to go there too and he hadn’t realized it was a lot more difficult for Zack to give up.

Zack forced his little hand out of Max’s large one and started to flee back toward the house.
“Zack come back!”
Max couldn’t contain his anger but it wasn’t turned toward Zack. The little boy didn’t know that and just continue to run.
Liz knew that Max hadn’t meant to scream at him and she put a calming hand on his forearm.
“It’s ok. I’ll go. Just go meet those people, I’ll stay here with Zack.”

Max looked at her with sad eyes now. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scream.”
“I know you don’t. Just go I’ll take care of that.”
He lowered his lips toward her, sending her all his love.
He wished he could come to apologize to his son, but it had to wait. Once again his destiny was tearing his life apart.
****************
Hellisar passed back and forth on his little office. He had wait for this day during more than sixty earth’s years. His hopes to meet his king had slowly fed away through the years but it had been relived when they had safely settled on this place and more again when he had felt the new heir being create.
Actually he had never felt this kind of pull which indicated a new heir, as Zack had been too far from Antar when Liz first fell pregnant.
But it had been clear this time two months ago. Like he was pulled toward his queen through the night, feeling this irresistible urge to protect her.

When Alex, the young human, had told him the king, the queen and their son were coming here, he had almost had an heart attack.
He knew his king will be proud of his work here. Him and his friends who had came with him on earth had built this facility away from eyeshot. It was a huge underground center, longer than a mile from the south to the north of it. Most of the center was a scientific area with labs and rooms. It took more than half of the are a. The other part was made of several offices and from his own place where he lived with his sons families. The biggest office had never been used, but it would soon…

His attention was drawn to the main elevator. There wasn’t a lot of worker on this part of the center beside him; all the other were just scientist working in the labs.
So he knew who it was and his eyes lit up when he saw Tess walked toward his direction.
Following behind her was a young black hairs boy. He was looking around him curiously and it remind him of the Zan who had died years ago.
He knew this young well build man wasn’t Zan, actually he knew his name was Max Evans, but he couldn’t help searching the likeness between them.

He saw them approach his office through the glass window and he stood up, his heart beating against his chest.


Max entered the office behind Tess his heart batting a mile minute. He hadn’t been that surprised when he had enter the big center stepping out from the elevator. Liz hadn’t been wrong finally. It definitely looked like a facility.

He tried to stay calm when he entered the office and he immediately met the eyes of an older man. His eyes were shining and a smile spread over his face as he made his way toward Max.
He outstretched his hand to him and Max took it hesitantly.

“I’m so happy to finally meet you… your highness.”
Then, suddenly the man was bowing his head as he knelt in front of Max.

Max was first surprised and a gasp escaped his lips. He eventually knelt in front of the man forcing him to stood up.
“Please don’t.”

Hellisar was stunned by his king boldness. Never in all his life he had seen king Zan asking a servant to stood up before him.
But he knew it was really him. Those eyes: a mix of green and brown which gave this amber color. And the light that was shining through them. It was definitely Zan’s eyes.

He smiled weakly trying not to look embarrassed, but it shocked him when he saw the same feeling reflecting on the young king’s face.

“I’d prefer you stay straight when I’m here. Please… I’m not your king.”
This last sentence made Hellisar froze to his spin. He hadn’t expect the young man saying such thing.
“I…I don’t understand… I know you’re. Those eyes… I know there are Zan’s… I…”
Max cut him before he could go farther.

“I’m just Max Evans. Not Zan. Zan is dead and he was the king. Your king is dead.”
“No he is not!”
His harsh ton wasn’t miss by Tess and she sent killing stares toward Hellisar but he didn’t even flinch.

“I’ve put all my life into this work, my family life was in danger because of this project, but I never failed, I never gave up! My only purpose was to bring you back to life to help us find peace again! I’ve wait all those years to finally meet all the fruit of my work! And you’re telling me you’re not my king! I’m sorry to disappoint you young man, but you’re the King! You may not be Zan, but you’re the king and your son and unborn child are the two heirs of Antar!”

Max listened carefully at this man who talked to him like a father would talk to his son. He had never been able to have this kind of talk about destiny with his adoptive father, he had always made his own decisions; he had always thought that he had to make his own destiny. But today, true destiny was hovering over him like a weapon above it’s target.
He would be touch for sure. But was it that bad?

As he listened to the old man, he realized how much he had given of himself to give him life. This Hellisar man was his real father. The one who had created him and who care about him during all those years…. The one who today was lecturing him.

A slight smile made his way on his lips as Hellisar stopped speaking. He slowly lowered his head.
“Thank you.” He took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. “I hadn’t realized how much you had gave of yourself for me.”

The smile on Max’s face was reflected on Hellisar’s face and he wrapped his arm around the young man shoulders feeling at ease like he would be with his own son.
“Let show you the place son.”

************

After leaving Max and Tess, Liz made her way to the house. She was relieved not to have to meet those guys. She would meet them sooner or later but tonight she just wanted to be with Max and Zack, not worrying about other people.
She had let Max go, knowing it was his duty to meet his people. But she wasn’t ready for that.

She walked passed the stair and stepped into the living room. Zack was cuddled into the couch crying with all his might.
She approached carefully not to startle him and knelt beside the couch. Her arm came to stay on his trembling shoulder.

He had felt her coming and he turned to her warping his little arms around her neck to cuddle in her embrace.
“Daddy…’s mad… a’ me…”
He sobbed through his words and it seemed like he was not breathing but hiccuping. It was kind of frightening seeing him this way struggling to find his breath.
She stroked his hair and back softly trying to calm his shaking body.

“No he doesn’t baby… daddy is tired. He is not mad at you.”
“Bu’ he scweam’d. He scweam’d loud, an’… an’ it frwight’n me!”
Liz started to sway his body on her laps feeling his sobs starting back again.
“I know. But daddy didn’t mean to scream. He isn’t mad at you at all. I’m sure he is already sorry.”


*************
“I remarked that you didn’t bring the young bride with you, nor your son. Where are they?”
Max squirmed slightly feeling his gaze on him.
“Oh.. Um, Liz was tired and Zack too. So they stayed at the house.”
“The house?… Oh yeah. That’s right the house. You know you don’t have to stay in there. There is place for you here.”
“No!”

Max quick answer startled the older man and he stopped staring confused at the young man.
“Why?”
“I… we prefer stay in the house… It’s just more… intimate.”
Hellisar smiled brightly and Max realized he had probably misunderstood his words.
“I see… well I can show you the place anyway.”



By the time they went back to the little office it was already eight. Hellisar had shown him all the place from the labs to his own apartment. He had met several scientists and all had bowed in front of him, showing the respect that was due. But every time, Max stood them back saying it wasn’t necessary. He felt he would have to do that a lot on the past days.

“Well Max, I think it’s time for you to go back to your family… and slept peacefully people are here to watch on your family now.”
It’s was Max’s time to bow his head this time to show the old man all the respect he deserved for his work here.
“Thank you Hellisar… for all you did... And keep doing today.”
“I’m born to protect my king.”
Max didn’t protect this time. He had learnt his lesson earlier. He couldn’t help feeling safe here. For the first time in years, life seemed easy, he just had to put the work in others hands. They could protect Zack and Liz and that’s all that matter to him.

The elevator’s door opened slowly and Max started to step into it but he was stopped by Hellisar’s hand.
“Max, can I ask you something?”
“Sure. Anything?”
Hellisar squirmed uncomfortably searching how to ask that to his king.
“I thought that maybe I… I was wondering if you would be ok if I examine Liz, to see if the baby is fine and… and Zack too, just to see if everything is fine with him?”

Max frowned at his words. He didn’t know what this was hiding but inside of him he knew he could trust the old man. After all he was the one who had created him.
“I don’t really know, I just have to talk to Liz about that.”
Hellisar just nodded understanding his king’s argument.
“Well, anyway it would be an honor to meet them. What do you think about tomorrow?… If Liz is ok with this of course!”

“I’ll ask her. Thank you Hellisar.”
“You’re welcome son.”
Max stepped into the elevator Tess following right behind. She placed her hand on the flat board and the door slowly closed up on a smiling Hellisar.

****************

Max opened the backdoor of the house giving in the kitchen. It was night by the time he arrived at the house and he was grateful to be home even if his meeting with Hellisar had been interesting.

He made his way in the living room and just the sight of Liz sitting on the couch with Zack on her laps, brought a smile to his lips.
They were watching TV and when he approached, he realized that Zack was actually full asleep.

Liz raised her head to him stroking Zack head tenderly reposing on her knees.
“He cried himself to sleep… He was really upset Max, I’ve never seen him that way.”

Max knelt before them his hand coming to covering Liz’s. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scream like that… I..”
She cut him before he could go farther, she didn’t want to heard him blaming himself.
“Shut, it’s ok. He knows that now.”

She changed the subject, knowing this wasn’t the moment to talk about sad subjects.
She just wanted to relish her family life for once. Just being with Max.
She motion to Zack on her laps, whispering. “I didn’t know where to put him. He just fell asleep here.”
“Tess told me there was three bedrooms up the stair. She brought Zack’s stuffs in one of them and ours an other one.”

He slid Zack from Liz laps on his arms and Liz just watched him as he carried him up the stair with so much experience in his motions that Zack didn’t even flinch. He just laid his head naturally on Max’s shoulder sleeping peacefully in the strong protecting embrace of his father.

*************
Max entered the room that was next to Zack’s. The light was opened and he could see Liz rummaging through her suitcase.
He slowly walked to her and put his hands on her shoulder. She gasped at his touch as she hadn’t heard him enter the room.
Then she slowly stood up turning her body in his embrace. They stayed in a comforting silence for a moment, until Liz started to talk.

“You didn’t tell me how was your meeting.”
Max shift in her arms and looked at her through hooded eyes. “It went great… but please no more question…. I just want to be with you tonight.”
He didn’t wait for her to protest and just linked his lips with hers in a searing kiss.

They hadn’t been able to celebrate the new of expecting a child and he was determined to correct that.
He wanted her to feel the most loved woman on earth tonight. He wanted to thank her for accepting all the concession she had had to made during those few days, just in order to carry his child safely.
She had accept to take the risk and he needed to thank her the best way he could.

Soon the kisses were more heated and Max slid his hands over her bottom lifting her in his arms. He carried her to the bed and laid her carefully and the soft sheet.

He stopped to look at her, holding his body weight on one arm as his other hand stroked her cheek. But she could still feel his hardness against her thigh.
It was kind of reassuring that after all those years apart, she was still able to turned him on so much in such a short time.

“You ok?”
Just the sound of his husky voice could have brought her to completion but she just smiled, feeling the heat rising on her body.
He always asked her that question before their love making and it warm her heart that he was so careful and prevent with her.

“I’m ok.”
Max just needed that to link his lips once again with her soft one. They just made out for a moment, but when Max felt her started to squirm under him, rubbing his crotch seductively, he knew it was time to move.

A whimper escape her mouth when he started to pull away and slid his shirt from his sculptural upper body.
He then grabbed the hem of her sweater and slowly pulled it from her chest, reveling her white breasts to his hungry eyes.

“Please Max…”
Her pleading was all he needed to lean over and captured one of her nipple in his mouth, the moans escaping her lips encouraging him.
Her hands made her way to his waistband and she unbuckled his belt and button, riding the zipper down.

A moan escaped his lips when he felt her soft hand brushing against his sensitive member.
He released her breast and help her to free him from his pant and last underwear.
He did the same to her and slid her pajama bottom from her slender hips.

They both tangled their body on the silk white sheets and swollen lips met swollen lips once again. It wasn’t long before their heated center met.
Their deep moans was could be heard in the room as Max slowly entered her hiding place. He greeted his teeth as he waited for her, trying to hold on the urge to just let it go.
He wanted her with and she soon met his thrust forcing him deeper into her. She wrapped her legs around his, trying to be as closed to him as possible.
She knew she was closed and she could felt he was too. His pace became frantic and as he felt he would not be able to hold on any longer, he felt her body shivered underneath him and she cried out his name in ecstasy.
He followed right behind with a guttural moan and her name chanting on his lips.

They both came back to earth several minutes later and Max concentrated his blurry vision on her angelic face.
“I love you.”
He whispered trying to calm his beating heart. She echoed his words pulling his head on her bosom as she tenderly ran her finger through his sweaty hair.

She relished the simple feeling of his weight on her and the calming sound of his breath as he slowly fell asleep. She looked at his face as he gave up on slumber and his lids closed on his amber eyes.
She couldn’t help but comparing him to a little boy at the moment. But not any kind of little boy; his little boy. The same that was asleep at that same exact place on her bosom, no less than a few hours ago when they were speeding toward their new life…

Well, I hope it was enought this time... Thank you for the feedback... I'll be back soon!!!!

Part 21….

September 10th, Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Liz sat on the sand facing the lac in front of their house, relishing a moment of loneliness.
The last days had been frantic for all the family and she couldn’t help feeling relief it was over for a while.

The day that had followed their arrival, she had met Hellisar and lot of people who were working on the facility.
Hellisar had insisted on examined her to see if everything was ok with her and the baby. She had first refused feeling she wasn’t at ease enough with this man and with the feeling of being pregnant. But as the days had passed by, the idea had become more real and she had finally accepted.

All the materials they had had impressed her. One of the rooms was a real maternity room. And as she couldn’t actually go to the hospital, it was relieving to see that all was prepared for her baby’s arrival.

Several babies had been born on the facility since they had come on Earth, and one of the women, who had given birth, was actually a human.
She was one of Hellisar’s daughters-in-law. Her and Matias, Hellisar’s son, had met just a few days after he and his father had arrived on earth and he had been forced to heal her.

Liz hadn’t been well informing on what had happened but she couldn’t help comparing this story with her and Max’s.
Elene, who was now Matias’s wife, had accepted his origins and had been the second human to ‘enter’ the facility, after Alex. They had got married two years later and had had their first child just a few weeks ago.

Liz would meet Elene and Matias tonight when they would be back from their journey. She needed to know what to expect from her pregnancy and she needed a woman’s point of you.
A Human one’s.

Hellisar had been clear and had told her and Max all he knew. The baby seemed fine and she was two months pregnant. Normally the pregnancy would last five month like it had been for Helen’s. But they couldn’t be sure enough. So she couldn’t wait to meet Elene tonight.

Max had told her about Tess’ idea to make them remember their past. But she wasn’t really convinced. She was afraid to feel all she was sure she was going to feel if she remembered.
For now, the idea that she was Zack’s mother wasn’t that real, but if she remembered, she was sure the guilty feeling of having left Max and their son years ago, would killed her.

She wrapped her arms around her body feeling the cool fresh wind froze her to the core and a shiver coursing through her spin.
The weather was starting to get freezing and she wasn’t used to a so cold wind at this time of the year. In Roswell, summer’s weather could last until October or mid-November. But here, at less than a few kilometers from the Canadian’s line, it was already starting to get cold.

She let her mind wandered back to Roswell where all their friends where. Maria had called her just the night before and everything seemed fine back there.
The Sheriff Valenti and Kyle had been informed of their departure soon after and they had decided to join there here once everything would be taken care on the town.

It was a big decision for all those who had known about the Aliens, to decide for their life. They had only two choices: staying in Roswell with their family and friends and risk that Khivar come to them and used them; or coming here in Green Bay and let their comfortable but really unsecured life in Roswell to built another one more safely.
For most of them, the choice was soon made.

Isabel had been informed of Max and Liz’s departure too and it was probably her that was the more touch by the new. Not only because her brother and nephew had left the town in the middle of the night without warning, but also because of Alex.
At the moment she was still shocked and had refused to meet him. But it was difficult for Liz to follow everything that was happening as they were now far away.

Stayed Lisa and Sam who were still keeping from the secret but everyone on Roswell knew she needed to know the true about Max; she had seen too much. The sheriff had proposed to help and they were supposed to tell her as soon as Isabel had made her decision.

Maria had told her that Michael and Alex were doing well. They were in sync and made the decisions together without hesitation. The houses needed to be sold the sooner and every file concerning their life in Roswell needed to be erased.
Khivar shouldn’t find any clue that aliens had lived in Roswell for more than 15 years.

Alex and Michael had promised it would be over at the end of October but they were only two and it wasn’t easy even with The Sheriff and Kyle’s help.
The baby was foresee for mid-November so it would fit perfectly anyway.


Liz felt strong arms slid around her waist and a warm body plastered itself against her back.
She leaned back against Max’s chest and they both watched the blue water before them.
The silent that reigned between them was comforting. But it didn’t last long enough to Liz’s displeasure.

“What are you thinking Liz?”
She stayed silent a moment searching for an answer. She didn’t really know what she was thinking. Since she had been sitting here, she had though about everything.
She missed to write in her diary but she had stopped writing on it the moment she had left Max for East. It was still hid on her suitcase somewhere.

But today she didn’t felt it like missing it. She had Max to talk to. She took a deep breath and leaned even more against his body.

“I was thinking about us, about the baby, about our friends…I missed them Max. I wish they were there.”
“I missed them too. But they will be there soon don’t worry.”

‘Don’t worry’ this thought brought her back to what she was thinking about a few hours ago.
She told Zack those same words when he and Max had gone for the town.
“How was it?… At school I mean.”
“Well, you know first day at school are never easy but with Lorin and the kids I think he will be fine.”

Liz smiled at the mention of her new friends. Lorin was the wife of Hellisar’s second son, Ronan. They had two little girls, Erin and Lena, who were both adorable. Lena was exactly the same age as Zack and the two were becoming inseparable.
Erin was 10 and had been the same age as Zack when they had left Antar. She had any memory left from her life on her original planet and it frightened Liz. Would Zack remember his life in Roswell? She wished he would.

Lorin had been the first woman she met in the facility. She had been so nice with her, showing her all the places and leading her through the town. She had felt her uncomfortable feeling and had immediately done everything to make Liz felt at ease in the new area.
And even if Lorin was almost 7 years older than she was, she was comprehensive and a really good friend for Liz.

Max’s hand sliding on her stomach brought her back to the reality. She was slowly starting to show. It was still only a bump under her shirt but it made it a lot more real. Hellisar had told her that the baby would grow fast during the third month.
She didn’t really what he meant by fast but she couldn’t help feeling worried. What if she’d wake up a morning with her tummy larger than a truck!
She definitely needed Elene.

*************
The evening came fast and Liz found herself preparing for her guests. She felt like the queen of the house. For the first time in her life she was welcoming people in Her house with Her family.
She had dreamt of this thousand time when she was a kid, she just thought it wouldn’t be in those conditions.

“Lizzie!”
Two kids entered the kitchen running toward her. She bent downs and accepted their kisses. She couldn’t resist the urge to wrapped Zack in her arms. She hadn’t see him since this morning as Lorin was supposed to brought her back home for the diner.

“How was school baby?”
“Gwreat!… Thwer’s twon and twon of twoys you know! An’ Lena shwown me her fwriend and…”
He stopped suddenly and a seriousness she could see on Max sometimes, plastered itself on his cute little face.
“When awre our fwriend coming Lizzie?”
It brought tears to Liz’s eyes. She hadn’t realized how much he missed them too.
“Soon baby… They’ll be there soon.”

Lorin entered the room and cut their emotional ‘meeting’.
“Thank you for bringing him back.”
“It was all my pleasure, Liz.”
The two women hugged as Max and Ronan entered the room talking actively. Max hadn’t gone to the facility today and Ron was telling him about the progresses they had made on the lab.
They were all searching on a weapon that could help them to destroy Khivar’s power. Until now, anyone had been strong enough to face him.

Soon, arrived Matias and his wife. Liz greeted them and led them in the little living room.
Elene was exactly like Lorin had described her. She was as tiny as Liz was, and long blond hair was falling like a curtain around her face. She was two years older than Liz was but she didn’t look so.
Matias was a well build man with blond hair just like his mother. Well that what they said. Their mother had died a few years ago, just before coming on earth.
It was impressive how much their little girl, Chloe, was a mixed of both of them. It was the second child being created between alien and human and another proof that it was possible.
She was so tiny and had cute little rosy cheeks. Liz suddenly wished her baby were also a girl. She saw the glint in Max’s eyes as he looked at the baby and realized they were thinking the same thing.


“So tell me Liz, are you afraid?”
Liz turned her eyes toward Elene sitting at the kitchen table as she breastfeed Chloe. Liz had proposed to rest for company when the others gathered in the living room.
She wished she could use this time alone to ask her some questions. Elene had felt her insecurity and had decided to take the first step.

Liz blushed at her question. Elene didn’t needed an answer, she already know it.
When the awkward feeling had passed Liz composed herself and forced her gaze to meet Elene’s.
“Actually… I wanted to know…Er… what it feel like?”
Everyone on the facility knew what Khivar had done and they realized that she couldn’t remember Zack’s birth.

“It hurt like hell!”
The look of utter shock and fear in Liz eyes made her smile. She had expected Liz to react that way.
“But… It’s nothing compared to the extraordinary feeling of completion that you have when the baby is here…When, you hold your baby in your arm and realized that You did it… all the pain goes away… I remember the look on Matias’ face… it was all magical. And I’m sure Max will react the same way.”

The fear slowly fed away as they talked. Elene answered all her questions from the most private to the most essential.
Eventually, she took Liz hand in her after putting Chloe back on her cradle.
“You’re strong Liz… You’ll do it.”

**************
Tess entered the little house through the back door. She knew max and Liz were waiting for her. They had called her just an hour ago saying they were ready to know the true. Their friends were gone and they were waiting in the living room, cuddled in each other arms, preparing themselves for the rush of emotions they were sure to feel.

“Hey!”
They were both startled by Tess arrival.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. The door was open.”
Liz and Max just nodded. The tension was visible on their face and they kept holding hands, feeling it was the best to stay strong.

“So you’re ready.”
“We are.”
Max’s assured voice was just a covert. He had never been as unsure of himself in all his life.
Why had he said that? He wasn’t ready at all. But it was for Liz. Even if she didn’t felt it, he knew she needed that.

Tess didn’t say another words. She sat in front of them and motioned for them to take her hands.
Was it right to do that? She didn’t know. But she will do it. She needed to gain their faith back.

Max and Liz hold hand and as Tess closed her eyes they exchanged a gaze. Liz could read Max incertitude but he smiled and all her strength was back.
She slowly closed her eyes at the same time as him and they concentrated on what Tess was saying.

“Those memories are deep inside of you. You need to bring them back. You have to remember the moment when it all begun. It was… Las Vegas. Maria had just finish her song and you were both looking into each other’s eyes with this deep gaze you always have for each other… only for each other…” Her voice trailed of and Liz find herself back in Vegas, looking into Max’s eyes.

She could still felt his hand in hers and the soft cushion of the couch. She could felt the warm of the fire burning behind her back in the fireplace. She was still in her house siting next to Max and Tess… but in the same time, she was standing in front of him when they were only 17, staring deep inside his bottomless eyes, in the middle of a restaurant of Vegas.
Everything around her was blurry beside Max’s face… Max’s eyes. Her mouth opened but any sound went out. She could felt everything she had felt at that moment. Thing she hadn’t remembered all those years. How could she have forgot? The Love into his eyes. The Love in her heart. And the pain to kept this hard secret just for her.

Suddenly, it was like everything around her went faster. The world started to spin around her. She felt dizzy as all the emotions rushed toward her. The peace she had felt a moment ago just staring into Max’s eyes was replaced by feelings and images who were passing in front of her eyes that she had a hard time trying to watch and memorize them.

Suddenly she felt all she had missed during all those years of lies. She felt her love for Max as they first made love that same night. She felt His love for her. She felt the relief that he finally know the true.
She felt her fear when she realized she was pregnant. Fear that was rapidly erased by the look on Max’s face as he realized he was going to be a father. She saw her friends who were there the whole time at her and Max’s side. She saw the scared look on their parents’ faces.

The images were passing by like a moving and she could felt that Tess had difficulty to keep it straight.
She couldn’t help getting lost into the rush of feelings. Fear, joy, love… Pain too.
She saw herself giving birth to her little boy. She felt unbearable pain and unbelievable joy at the same time.
Finally, she saw Max’s face, one last time. His love, his tears as he holds in his arms a bundle of squirming blanket.

The images stopped as quickly as it had begun, leaving Max, Liz and Tess breathing hard.
Liz didn’t want to open her eyes. She wanted to felt it again. She wanted her life and memories back again.

Eventually Max’s hand on her cheek brought her back to the reality.
“Liz… Liz, wake up. Please, wake up…”
His face was hovering over hers as she opened her eyes. A smile made his way on his lips. She was ok.
He brought her in his arms and hugged her like no tomorrow. He had felt everything like her but through his own eyes.

Eventually, they disentangled from each other’s body and their gaze fell on Tess siting on the floor facing them. She had a painful look plastered on her face and was rocking her body back and force as she hugged her knees to her chest.

Both Max and Liz had also felt, through the connection, the pain she had felt as Khivar was controlling her powers.
They had felt the guilt of all those years without telling them. The fear that it begins again. The fear to see and confront this man again.

Liz forced herself to erase all the hate she had for this girl deep inside of her. Hate she had cherished and used as an excuse for never coming back to Roswell for years.
‘It wasn’t her fault’ she kept repeating in her mind. ‘It wasn’t her fault’.

She kneeled beside her and impulsively wrapped her arms around Tess rocking her shaking body with a tenderness she rarely used for others than Zack.
‘It wasn’t her fault…’

*************
He looked through the window of his ship as the earth slowly came in view. It was the first time he would walk on it. On this planet he wouldn’t be the king. In this planet he would only be a man like the others. But Max Evans was also an ordinary man on this planet.

“How much time?” he asked the man that was standing behind him.
“Less than two month your highness.” The man answered.

His deadly laugh startled the young soldier, but deep inside he wasn’t that brave. He was afraid by the heirs. He was afraid by the prophecy.
He was strong but not enough. He would fight for his title. Max Evans had a weakness and he knew which.
“Prepared yourself Max Evans. You and your damn kids will be dead soon.”

Sorry guys, I know I've been long to update... I thank you all for the feedback and bumping.

No up to the new part....

Part 22a

October, 29th, Roswell New Mexico

Maria pushed the off-button of the phone, a silly smile dancing on her lips. She had been talking to Liz for one hour like everyday but today had been particularly emotional. Liz hadn’t stopped crying and cursing something about ‘damn hormones’. But it wasn’t the only reason;

In two days they would finally see each other. It two days they will be together for the first time in two months. They had made the last arrangements and Maria had tried to understand what her friend was saying through her sobs.

They would arrive at 1pm and Max would be there to welcome them at the airport with Matias. They needed at least two cars; even if Max’s parents had decided to make the journey with Alex in their car they were still 8 to arrive by plane.

All the friends who knew about Max and Liz had been informed of there fast departure and the reasons of it and had been forced to make a choice between two propositions:
Stay in Roswell and risk their lives by waiting for Khivar to come to them, which by the way was threatening Max and Liz’s family’s safety; or come in Green Bay and start a new life for who knew how much time.

For her and Michael the choice had been fast to take. Maria had decided to be were her friends were, she would have missed their baby’s birth for nothing in the world and she needed them.
Michael had been clear too, he was a soldier meant to protect the King and his family. He would have gone wherever they had gone anyway.

The Valenti had been straight to take their decision too. Amy wanted to go wherever her baby girl was going and Jim would have let her go for anything in the world. They were dating for three years and had finally decided to married next summer.

Kyle had been a little harder to convince. Anyone could force him to go with them but they made it clear to him it would be dangerous to stay in Roswell.
He finally realized that his career of sheriff was nothing compared to his family and friends’ safety. From the moment his decision had been taken he had done everything to help Michael and Alex.

Isabel had been, with Lisa and Sam, one of the hardest to convince. First of all she had refused that Alex was really alive, even when he had shown up and that she had seen him with her own eyes, she kept repeating herself it wasn’t true, it couldn’t be true.
Max and Liz’s departure had been harsh to accept too. She couldn’t bear that Max hadn’t told her, but most of all, she blamed Liz for betraying her faith: when finally she had accepted her sudden come back, she was stealing her brother and nephew.

She had refused to talk to anyone during one month. She worked everyday at the hospital and refused every visit.
But time was passing by too fast and Alex was the one to decide it was enough. He was alive and she needed to see that, she needed to accept it.
He had come to her place one afternoon and wait in front of her door until the end of the day. When she had finally showed up, it was past eleven but he was still here, sitting on the steps of the little stair that led to her flat.
She had gasped when she had seen him but she hadn’t flown away. He had stood staring in her eyes “I’m here Isabel… I’m really here. I know it hurt but it’s true.” She hadn’t answered anything as she listened to his speech. It came directly from his heart, she had been able to felt it the whole time; but she hadn’t broken up until his last sentence. “I love you Isabel, I’ve always loved you and I always will.”
She had finally gave up and cried all the tears she had refused to let down for years. Alex had wrapped his arms around her shoulder and had held her until she stopped.
They had talked the whole night; they had cried and they had laughed but every minute together was better than the one before. In the morning, Isabel had decided to come with them. She was still angry with Liz but Alex had convinced her it wasn’t her fault.

It had been late in October that they had decided to go to Lisa and Sam’s. She was still living under Max’s house but they hadn’t seen her when they had come at the house a few times to retrieve some papers and stuffs for Max and Liz.

They had organized a meeting with her a few days after Isabel had taken her decision. But even Jim Valenti’ presence hadn’t reassured her when they had told her Max was an alien.
Like Isabel it had taken a moment for the news to sink in, but it had eventually did. All the time they had lived with the fear that she would call the FBI but she had assured them a week after that she would never do that.
Once it had sink in, she had asked Max and Liz’s new number. She needed to talk to them before taking her decision. She had stayed in the phone with Max for almost one hour, listening to his version of the story. For the first time she had felt Max was opening his heart to her the way she had did for him for three years.

But what had finally decided her was the talk with Zack. She had heard him in the background when she was talking with Max, and knew he was the one who had insisted to talk with her.
He hadn’t say anything special, just talking about his new life, and friend; about his new house, about Liz; and most of all he talk about the new baby that was soon to come. He talked about it with so much awe that it brought tears to her eyes.
“I cwan feel her.” He had whispered in the phone. Max had said they didn’t know if it was a girl or a boy but she felt he was saying the true. Then he had added loudly: “And Lizzie’s belly is so huge now!” It had made her laugh and she had been convinced. She needed them, they were her family.

It made 8 people coming by plane and 3 by car in two days…

**********
October, 31. Green Bay, Wisconsin

Liz laid on the couch in the living room of their house, facing the TV. She was staring at the screen but she wasn’t watching it. Her mind was somewhere else with her friends and Max.
They were a few kilometers away now they’d be there in 5 hours.

She sighted in frustration as she recalled what Max had told her this morning. He had refused to let her come with him to the Airport and now she was lying on a couch watching TV with a cup full of popcorn balancing on her huge belly.

She was more than 4 months pregnant and it had been three weeks now that she was unable to see her ankles. She had had a false contraction this morning and that what had convinced Max no to bring her with him. He had assured her he would be there fast with their friends but it wasn’t consoling her.

She forced her body on a sitting position groaning when she felt the pain on her back coming to life. She take a deep breath a stood up on shaking legs.
She had take a decision this morning when Max had gone and she would kept it straight. Zack was out of school in 10 minutes and she wanted to be the one to bring him back home this time. They would went on the Park after that and maybe she would buy them some of those famous hot chocolate Lorin had talk to her about.

The thought made her smile; but before she could go, she needed to get ride of this damn soldier that was standing right in front of his door. Since they had come to live here, he had followed her everywhere she went and it was starting to drive her crazy.

She take her coat and waddled of toward the door; the moment she opened it the young soldier stood straight in front of her. She forced her face to contorted in fake pain, she needed it to be the more natural possible or he would catch it.

“Doran…”
Her fake weak voice startled the soldier and she smile inside when she saw the sudden panic in his eyes. It was working.
“Liz, you’re ok? What’s happening?”
“It’s ok Doran… I just-.” She took a deep breath, swallowing hard. “I need you to go search for Hellisar please.”
She saw the struggle her was having inside his head and she fake another contraction holding on the side of the door. Doran was at her side in not time and straight her shaking body.
“Don’t worry Doran, Max forget you of you let me a minute, if it is for the birth of his child.”

That was all he needed to be convince and he carefully let her lean on the door. “You’re right, I go catch him now. Do you want I call Max to.”
“No!”
She was afraid that her too fast answer woke his doubt but it didn’t seem so. “OK. I’m going now.” She watched him run toward the hid door of the facility biting her lower lips to keep herself from bursting out in laugher.

************
Max run in the airport Matias following right behind. It was almost 2pm and he had only arrived a minute ago. He hadn’t realized how much the traffic was important in big city; it wasn’t like there was a lot in Roswell. Anyway, it had take them almost two hours to enter the town and made their way to the airport.

Someone at his side caught his sight and he suddenly realized that Michael was standing right beside him smiling brightly.
“Hey Maxwell!”
“Michael.”
Max didn’t wait and took him in a warm brotherly embrace. “It’s nice to finally see you.”
When they finally let go Max eyed him strangely.

“You’re alone, where are the other?”
“You weren’t arriving so the girls decided to wait at the cafeteria. Kyle and his father go to take something to drink, they’ll be back soon… and you are?”

He turned to Matias saying that, outstretching his hand. The young man didn’t take it right away. He was looking at him in awe in front of the man he had admired his whole life. He was the new second in command of the army, but Rath had always been ‘The One’. The soldier who had won against thousand of men, who had give his life for his king, but who was also a great man in life.

Michael awkwardly let his hand fell back to his side when the young man didn’t shake it. When he saw the look he was giving him he turned a questioning look towards Max. But his friend seemed as surprised as he did.

“Matias? You ok?”
Instead of answering, Matias just tug Michael hand from his pocket and shook it frantically.
“It’s an honor to meet you Mr. Guerin. Really a great honor.”

“Well… Hum, thank you… Call me Michael ok.”
Matias had this silly smile plastered on his lips and he couldn’t get rid of it. He was meeting his idol for the first time.
“Ok… Michael.”
“Better.”

The girls arrive a few minutes later and Isabel threw her arms around Max before looking back in his eyes and kicked the back of his head with her hand.
“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me!”

Maria was more direct as she hugged him and looked in his eyes trying to read him.
“How is Liz?… And don’t dare lying to me!”
“She is fine, Maria. She has her first contraction this morning but she will be fine as long as she stay still.”
“Contraction? Does it mean the baby will arrive soon?”
“Hellisar said we still have a few days, maybe a week.”

***********
“Liz? What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be on your couch? Max was really strict this morning. You’re not supposed to move.”

Lorin laughed at her friend as she went out from the taxis in front of the little primary school.
Liz sighed dramatically when she finally put her foot on earth and regained her balance.
She glanced defiantly at Lorin, one hand holding her back and the other plastered on her hips.

“Well, wanna know? Max. Is. Not. My. Doctor. ! I couldn’t bear staying on this couch anymore, those program on TV are so boring!… I wanted to come for Zack. Where is he?”
Lorin wrapped her arms around Liz shoulder and lead her to the nearest bench.

“he will be out soon, it’s Halloween today, they had a little feast with the school Remember?”
“Oh yeah! Max told me about that yesterday, They spend the evening doing cake and ruined my kitchen!”

Lorin laughed but her gaze turned towards the school as she heard the kids screaming in joy.
Liz plastered her hand on her ears. “Is it that way every day?”
“Oh yeah!”

“Lizzie!”
Zack threw himself on her side, his little arms covering her large waist. He kissed her belly whispering. “Hia li’le sis.”

“Hey sweetie, how was your day?”
“Coooool! We do mask!” He showed her his own and slid it on his black and orange colored face.
Liz laughed at his painting face and hands.

“Baby, Daddy is gonna freak!”
She said amusingly. She knew how Max was with his son and for him hygiene was capital. He would probably have a heart attack when he sees his son’s paint face.

“But it’ Hawo… Hawolleen!”
“You’re right sweetie… What do you think about a good hot chocolate to celebrate Halloween then? You know the one they made near the great Park.”
“Yeah! Is daddy coming too?”
“No, it’s just the two of us today, but daddy will bring you a surprise when we come back home.”

************
Liz and Zack sat on a table at the little cafe sipping their hot chocolate.
Zack had been quiet the moment they had entered the little restaurant and after a few minutes of silence, it was starting to worry Liz.
She extended her hand towards his little one’s and stroked it soothingly.

“You ok baby? You are not that quiet usually. Is something bothering you?”
He refused to meet her gaze but she could still see clearly his brown furrowed. After a moment of hesitation he just shook his head.

“You sure?… You know you can talk to me right; about anything you want.”
She could see on his face that he was struggling with his feeling. She watched him a moment trying once more to catch his attention, but she refused to push him and let it go.

Her hand dropped back to her side and a smile plastered itself on her face as she tried to lighted the mood.
“You know I felt the baby kicking today?” When he didn’t react she continued. “Daddy and I didn’t chose a name yet, would you like to help-.”

She was cut by the sudden worry look he gave her, and almost immediately his voice reached her ear, but it was as soft as a whisper.
“’re yu me Mummy?”

Liz gasped, taken aback. What was that came from?

Since she had learnt she was Zack’s mother a few month ago, she had wanted to tell him. She wanted him to call her mommy, she wanted him to understand. It had became a lot more difficult after the memories Tess had given her back a couple of month ago; when she had felt all the pain and joy to become a mother.

But she had given up, thinking it could wait until they were sure everything was ok and that they were safe. But deep inside she knew she wasn’t anything more than a liar. She had lied to herself and to her little boy. Every time Max had tried to talk about it, she had skipped the subject. She knew it was hurting him, but he never said anything.

Today, she had no other choice to tell the true.
Tears were forming in her eyes and she felt herself once again cursing over damn hormones. But she had reasons to cry this time. She was so afraid. How was he going to react? He was only a little boy after all, but she didn’t want to thread the faith he had in her.

So with the same soft and whispered voice he had asked her, she answered.
“If you want me to-.”
“NO!”

His sudden outburst made her jerked. He had said ‘no’. He didn’t want her to be his mother. Anger was visible all over his face.
“I wanna know if yu’r me mummy!…” His voice was calmer when he continued like he was forcing himself to take control.

“I wanna know if I wa’ on yur tummy .”
Liz took a deep breath trying to regain some strength. She couldn’t cheap this time. She could do it with Max but not with their son. Not with those pleading eyes looking at her.

He tugged slightly on his lower lips as he waited patiently for her answer; and the gesture made her smile. How had she missed that? This manner was from her mother, she had always done that, and herself after her mother.

Her hand came to rest on his cheek as tears started to run on her cheek.
“Yes baby… I’m you mummy … and you were on my tummy too…”

The smile that spread on his lips and lighted his face at the answer warmed her heart. He wasn’t mad or sad or even disappointed.
He slid from his chair and came to slid his arms around her belly, his head resting on her bosom.

After a few minutes, Liz calmed down and she realized he had stayed all this time against her trying to comfort her the way his father did when she cried. But this time it wasn’t from pain or sadness that she was crying; she was crying from relief. Relief that he would finally knew the true.

His head rose from where is was hid against her chest and he smile shyly. “Yu betwer?”
She laughed slightly as she stroked his cheek.
“Yeah. I’m now… But tell me, how did you-.”

He didn’t let her finish, to anxious to finally reveal her his secret. He raised on his tiptoes and whispered in her ear.
“Ella told me.”

Liz confused look didn’t seem to bother him.
“Who?… Who is Ella baby? Is it a friend of your at school?”

A secret smile was dancing on his lips as his little hand caressed her belly. He lowered his head and kissed the bump.
“Tha’s her… Tha’s me sistwer.”

Liz gasped for the second time this afternoon. What was he talking about. She raised his head to face him.
“Do you… can you feel her Zack? Does she talk to you?”

He looked at her as he nodded this secret smile plastered on his lips.
“Yes… awl the time!”

Liz couldn’t help the laugh that escaped her lips. Her son was feeling their daughter… a girl. She knew Max would be bless. He hadn’t say anything, but she knew deep inside that he wanted a girl. He wanted what Matias had with his baby.

“Ella…”
The name flow on her lips. Max and her had been searching for different name they could gave her or he. They had spent it several evening once Zack was asleep. But they had never thought bout Ella. And the craziest was that it fit. It fit perfectly.

“Did she tell you that too?… Her name?”
“Yep. She’s rweally smar’ yu know.”

“I’m sure she is sweetie… I’m sure.”

thank you guys for your feedbacks. here is a new part...End is coming soon... but I'm thinking about doing a sequel... depends on your feedbacks...lol. Kissouilles.

Part 22b

“What do you mean you don’t know?” Hellisar voice was full of anger and Doran cringed when the older man turned toward him, pointing an accusingly finger to him.

“Max- Our king, trust you to watch over his pregnant wife! I trusted you with the life of the royal family!… And now you’re telling me you don’t know where Liz- Our queen is! Are you kidding me!”

Doran face fall as he realized what he had done. Max had trusted him enough to let him alone with his wife and he had failed in his job. The most important job anyone had given him since he had turned 18 the year before and had became a soldier in the facility. He didn’t believe his father would be proud of him anymore.

He collapsed on the couch behind him.
“She was in labor, I saw that, she had contraction and she was the one asking me to search for you!”

“That’s what bothering me here… She is alone and in labor. Khivar can be everywhere now and if he felt she will have the baby soon, he may search to kidnap her. Do you realize what this mean Doran?”
His voice was calmer, as he seemed more worry than angry like a few minute ago.

He stood up suddenly taking the cordless phone in his hand.
“We have to call Max!”

Doran stopped him with one hand on his forearm. “NO!… We still have time to find her. Maybe she is just with Lorin and the kids. It would be useless to alert Max like that, don’t you think?”

Bu the moment he finished his sentence, Lorin entered the room, Erin and Lena following behind.
She eyed the two man in the room.
“Hey! Where are Liz and Zack? We had to meet them here.”

***********
Liz outstretched her hand toward the road trying to catch attention of a Taxis. She knew she should have take her cell phone to call Lorin if she needed a ride home, but she had been so exited that she had forgotten it on the kitchen table.

She turned toward Zack kneeling before him.
“I’m sorry baby, but we’ll have to go back home at feet. Maybe we could come back by the beach, what you think?”

Zack leaned his head on her shoulder for all answer. The activities of the day had wipe him out and if Liz hadn’t stood up she could have swore he was starting to fell asleep.

“Come on sweetie, It’s starting to get late and Daddy will be at home soon.”
She turned her wrist checking on the time. Almost 5 p.m. She hadn’t realized how much time they had spent in the Park wandering and she had promised Lorin she would met her at her house at 4 to prepare some dinner. Her friend was probably worry sick and Max would be even more if she wasn’t there when he’d come back.

She made her way toward the beach, sliding her shoes from her feet and then Zack’s, throwing them on his little backpack.
Her feet were swollen and she didn’t know if she would make it to the house. What had she been thinking about; she was expecting a baby which will be there in a week. She should have stayed at the house with her popcorn like Max had told her in the morning. But her stubbornness had kicked in and she hadn’t been able to resist the urge to disobey Max.

Zack was leaning heavily on her side. He hadn’t said a word since they had left the park his mouth opening only to yawn.
She could see his little eyes struggling to stay open and she cursed herself for being so selfish.

After a few minutes of walking in the sand, she felt herself give in and she collapsed on the floor, clutching Zack at her side.
“We’re going to rest for awhile baby.” Zack didn’t answer, he laid his head on her laps and closed his eyes in exhaustion.

She did the same and rest her eyes for a moment but it only last until she felt the tearing pain in her abdomen. It had nothing to do with the contraction she had had this morning or the one she had had last night and hadn’t talk to Max about.

This one was a lot painful, starting from her lower back and coursing all the way on her abdomen. She leaned forward and moaned, startling Zack.

“’re ya okay?”
Liz opened her eyes a few second later. The pain was gone as quickly as it had started.
She opened her mouth to answer her quickly worrying son, but only to find it covered with a firm grip. She struggled trying to free herself from the arm she know was of a man, but she was too weak.

She saw the panic in Zack eyes when another man grabbed him by the waist, carrying him away from her, and her mind went blank.

**************
“Oomph…”
The car swayed slightly when Max let go of the wheel, holding his stomach in pain. It startled everyone in the car and the chat stopped.

Michael take hold of the wheel as quickly as he could, straightening the car on the track of the road.
When Max took the wheel back in his hands, Michael hesitantly let it go.

“Hey, you okay? What was that?”
“Liz…” was Max only answer.
Maria framed herself between the two front seat eyeing Max. “What do you mean ‘Liz…’ What wrong with Liz? Is she okay? Max please tell me what’s wrong!” she urged.

“If you’d let him talk, he could answer!” Michael snapped, returning his attention back to his friend.
He had regained some colors but his face was still pale. His hand were gripping the wheel so tight, his knuckles were starting to turn white.

“What happened Max? Are you okay?”
“I’m okay… But Liz had another contraction.”

Maria and Isabel gasped at the same time in the backseat while Michael looked at his friend, his jaw hanging low.

“Did… did you feel her…”
“Her contraction? Yes. I’ve felt it since yesterday but she refused to tell me she had one. This morning I felt it again and I asked her to stay at home. But this time it was different.”

“What do you mean different?” Isabel had recovered quickly and was squeezing her head between Maria’s head and Max’s seat.
“I don’t know… It was more intense.”

The nurse take the step in Isabel’s mind and she leaned forward trying to catch Max eyes in the little glass above his head.
“Was it a sharp or long?”
“It wasn’t sharp… it was like my abdomen was ripped from inside-. But what does it mean Isabel.”

Isabel sat back heavily on the backseat. “ I think she entered into active labor, you better hurry.”

******************
“So Liz was with you until you went away with the kids and then…”
Hellisar let his sentence unfinished, waiting for Lorin to end it up.
“Well, then she told me she would go to the little café in the Park to take some hot chocolate and ask me to meet her here at 4… I arrive a little late, I thought she would be there by now…”

She turned her head toward the young soldier passing back and force in Max and Liz’s carpet.
“Weren’t you suppose to follow her everywhere she goes. I thought Max had been clear enough about that. He doesn’t want her alone in her state. When I left her I thought you were somewhere in a car behind. Obviously not…”

Her ton wasn’t angry but it was enough to worry Doran a little more.
“Did she seem in pain when you saw her back at school.”
“Not really… I mean she was a little exasperated and all but not in pain, I don’t think so. Why do you think she is in labor?”

Doran hadn’t time to answer as the front door flew open revealing a anxious Max.
“Liz?”
He ran in their room, expecting to see her lying on their bed. He hadn’t felt any contraction for half an hour but what had said Isabel had scared him.

When he didn’t find her, his brown furrowed and he ran back in the living room, stopping dead in his track when he remarked everyone that was now in the room. Everyone beside Zack… and Liz.

“Where is she?”
His question was for everyone, but his eyes were staring directly at Doran. When he saw the young man’s head hanging low. He approached feeling more afraid of what he could say than angry.

“I don’t know…”

“WHAT?”

Maria froze in place when she heard the answer of the young man. Her best friend was missing. Her eyes land on the older man who had stepped before the young man.

“It’s okay Max… I’m sure she is just in the town wandering with Zack, Lorin saw her
at-.”
Hellisar tried to explain but Max cut him before he could go further.

“Are you implying that Zack is with her?… Is that what I heard?”

Lorin felt it was time for her to enter the argument. She was one of the only one with Hellisar and Matias that Max had faith in. They had grown closer in the few month they had spent together and she was starting to know how he functioned.
Her hand came to rest on his forearm as she tried to calm him.

“It’s okay Max. I saw her a few hours ago and she seemed okay. I think she just tricked Doran feigning being in labor to be able to come at school to take Zack. When I saw her, she had planed to go take a hot chocolate with Zack, she must be on her way now…”

Max looked at her, his gaze softening softly as he looked helplessly at his new friend.
“She is in labor Lorin. I felt another contraction half an hour ago. She is in ACTIVE labor and she is alone with Zack!”

Everyone in the room could felt his frustration starting to get over him. But Michael was the first to react, taking the situation in hand when he felt his friend was in no shape to do it himself.

“Okay Max, we’re gonna find them. You and you are going to come with Isabel and the Sheriff.” He pointed to Hellisar and Doran saying that.
“Kyle and Matias, you’ll come with me. We’re going to comb all the town starting from the school. That’s where you’ve seen her for the last time right?” he asked the young woman who had talked to Max a few minute ago.

Lorin nodded. “Yes, she was heading for the Park with Zack? The restaurant she wanted to go calls ‘Barkery’s’ Maybe she is still there if she isn’t already on her way.”

She wanted to help too, but she felt it was more clever to stay her with Max and the other women.

“Okay, then we are on our way.”
But before he could reach the door Max grabbed his arm. “Wait!…I come with you.”

“No Maxwell, You better stay here.”
“What!? No way Michael, it’s My wife and My son I’ve to find them!”
He let out a frustrated sight at his friend incomprehension.

“Maxwell, what if she comes home when we are away. You have to stay here to be sure she will not try to join us by phone… And I want you to look after Maria and Amy for me…” He added, trying to catch on his friend guilty side.

At Max’s unconvinced glare, he let out a sight and finally put his hand on Max’s shoulder trying to catch his attention.
“Maxwell listen to me. Liz is in labor, you told it yourself. What means that she will soon have another contraction and that you would surely felt it strongly now that you’re nearer. I may sound a little selfish, but I don’t want you to slow our research by being in pain.”

As if on cue, Max bend down at this moment feeling another contraction contract his abdomen in pain.
It was the second he had felt since he had gone, and the third since this morning. He had refused to tell her he was feeling them fearing she will freak out.

Lorin help him to sit on the couch until the contraction pass. She was stunned that he was able to felt her pain. He was partly human and she didn’t remember her own husband feeling such pain at the beginning of the labor. Max, him, seemed really in pain and she knew he wasn’t the kind to show it.

Michael cut her thought as he bent down to meet Max eyes.
“ I love Liz like a sister Max and I want to find her as much as you want. So please stay here and catch on every phone call. Maybe she has just lost track of time and will phone here to have someone to give her a ride back.”

Max knew it wasn’t true. He couldn’t believe she would have did something so stupid than losing track of time. Not with their friend arriving the very day. But he couldn’t do anything than accept what Michael was saying about the contraction. He would stay here and hope that she’d phone him.

He slowly nodded, letting his friend know that it was killing him not to be able to find her himself.
“Bring them back please.”
“I will.” Michael was sure and reassuring and Max knew his friend would not be home until he had found her and his son.

*************
Liz woke up in a start, feeling another contraction tearing her inside apart. She closed her eyes in pain, refusing to open them until the contraction had passed.

She released her grip on her lower abdomen and looked around her, trying to catch on her knew surrounding.
Their was no lamp around her, but the room was strangely bashed into a green colored soft light that seemed to emerged from the wall.
She was lying on the hard floor, but her head had been placed carefully above a cushion. She tried to sit, feeling her back ache in protest and the room started pinning. Her hand came in contact with the green wall as she tried to straighten herself but it was meet only by some kind of jelly substance.

It wasn’t a wall. It look more like the shield Max was projecting with his power. But a lot more thicker.
She stood on shaking legs trying first to slid her hand into the jelly texture but when she realized it was impossible she let go a frustrating sight bumping on the wall.

“Zack! Zack do you hear me!”
‘Mummy.’

It was the first time she had heard him calling her that way and she was quiet surprised at first.

“Zack where are you.” She turned in the room, trying to get sight of him but she couldn’t see him. How could she heard him and not see him.

‘I dunno know mummy.’

At this moment she realized he wasn’t talking to her directly. He was talking to her inside her mind.

‘Zack baby, do you hear me?’ She say loudly in her mind, wishing it was true and not a dream.

‘Yes. I cwan hear yu, mummy.’ He answered, his voice full of fear.

‘How is it possible?’ she thought to herself. But Zack her and answer her question sounding matter-of-factly.

‘It’s Ella, mummy. She talks to me an’ she says yu cwan hear me too.’
Liz let out a breath at her son’s answer. She hadn’t think about that and now she wondered if Zack could do that with Max too. He was linked to their daughter after all. Maybe she could talk to him if it was their daughter who had this power.

Zack’s little voice broke her thought.
‘Mummy. I’m afwaid… an’ Ella’s not feelin’ well.’

Liz tried to think clear as she sat back on the floor. She knew it would be difficult to reassure her son without him beside her but she would try.

‘It’s okay sweetie. Ella is fine, it’s normal…”
She quickly change the subject, trying to forget about the fact that she was in labor and that Max wasn’t there with her. She knew exactly who had kidnapped her and Zack know.
There was only one person that was able to create a shield of this force and for so long. She had heard Hellisar talked about it. Khivar.

She tried to concentrated back on Zack and his connection with him. She needed to reached Max. She knew it was possible.
‘Zack sweetie, can you do something for me? Do you think you could reach Daddy with your mind? You know the way you do with me and Ella? Can you do that sweetie?’

‘I dunno know… Bu’ I cwan try.’
She felt energy flew from her body as Zack concentrated on reaching Max through Ella’s connection with him.

***********
Max passed back and forced on the till floor of the kitchen. Michael had called a moment before saying there was nothing at the restaurant and the park and that they were now heading for the beach.

All the eyes where on him. Lorin and Amy were doing some cookies trying to keep their mind from what was happening but they both kept a close eyes on their young friend.
Maria and Lisa sat quietly at the table while the three kids, Erin, Lena and Sam play on the living room unaware of the situation. Sam had asked for Zack a moment ago and Lisa had saw Max’s shoulder sagged convulsively at the name of his son.

“Max you should calm down a little. I’m sure Michael had found them by now.”
Maria tried to reassure her friend as much as she could but when she saw the desperate look on Max’s face, she realized it was a lost battle.

“I don’t think they had found them Maria. Michael would’ve c-.”
He didn’t finished his sentence as he clutched his temples closing his eyes to fight the sudden headache.

“Max! Max, what’s happening.”
The three women were on him trying to straighten his suddenly collapsing body.

** ‘Daddy?’ ‘Zack? Is that you?’ Max couldn’t believe it, he was talking to his son through his mind. He kind of knew it was possible but they had never did it since he had reached for him when he was still a baby and on Antar.
‘Is me daddy…’ There was a silence and Max started again. ‘Zack where are you? Are you okay? Is Liz with you?’ ‘Mummy’s okay…’ There was long silence again until Max realized that Zack was actually talking about Liz when he said Mummy.
He hadn’t the time to say anymore before he heard her sweet voice in his mind. ‘Max? Do you heard me?’ ‘Liz! Oh my god! We’re you? Michael and the other are searching for you!’ ‘I don’t know Max but… I think it’s Khivar. Actually I’m sure it’s Khivar. And I don’t know where is Zack… I just, he reached for me and I ask him to call you. I don’t know where he is Max. I’m so sorry.’ Max could hear her sobs through the connection and he tried to sooth her with calming thoughts and words. ‘shut Liz, It’s okay. We’re gonna find a way… as long as you and the baby are okay, everything will be fine.’ There was a silence and Liz talked again. ‘I think I’m in labor Max.’ ‘I know, I can feel it. But Liz please stay calm, everything is gonna be fine, we’re gonna find you and Zack and we’ll have a beautiful baby girl.’ ‘You knew? You knew it was a girl.’ ‘I think I just wished it so hard, I started to believe it was real.’ He felt the connection flattered and knew it was time to let go. ‘Zack is starting to get weak Liz, we’ve to let go.’ ‘Love you Max.’ ‘I love you too.’ But he knew she hadn’t heard him as the connection was now closed. **

Max felt someone slapping his face slightly, trying to get his attention back into living world.
“Max… Max please wake up.”
He slowly opened his eyes, flinching when the bright light entered them. He focused on Maria face hovering over his.

“Max! God you okay?”
He sat up slowly, trying to recall what had happened a minute ago. He was here talking to Maria and then… yes, he had talked with Zack and with Liz through his mind. They were safe but…

“Khivar!”
The four woman flinched at his outburst and Maria took a step back.
“What are you saying Max?”
“Khivar! Khivar had them!”

TBC... wanna know what will happen next???

Part 22c

“How can you so sure it’s Khivar Max? I mean, we don’t have any clue that your dream was true and we can’t take the risk to drew attention on us if Khivar is around!”

Max sight in frustration. He couldn’t understand that his friend didn’t want to believe him. He knew it wasn’t a dream. And he knew now that his family was in great danger. How could Michael pretend to be his friend and second in command if he couldn’t even trust him?

“It wasn’t a dream Michael! I knew it was possible, we just never used or developed this power that all. But I know it was them Michael: Zack and Liz talked to me. I’m sure he used the same power than when he was on Antar, maybe that’s his gift.”

He turned hopeful eyes toward Hellisar, trying to catch his acknowledgment. The older man look at his king feeling sorry for him.

“It’s technically possible Max. I mean, Zack had probably this power but he must have been really strong to reach you whereas Khivar’s shield was blocking him… So I can’t assure you it was real.”

“Yes it was! I know it was! … And I’m the king; you’re the one who told me that! And I want you to send soldiers in town and started to localize them! Have I been clear enough?”

It was the first time Max used this ton toward Hellisar, as he had always treated the older man as his father. But Isabel, Michael and all those who came from Roswell knew that when he used this ton, his decision would never been reverse by anyone. Cause it was the ton he used when people he love was in danger, and it was definitely the case here.

“Fine.” Was Hellisar only answer. He nodded his head searching for something else t say to his king.

“I’ll see if we can localized something on our screen. If Khivar use his power it would be easier for us to find them.”

Max nodded, realizing he had been harsh, but in the same time, he knew Hellisar and the others had received the message.
He turned toward his friend, seeing an unconvinced look still plastered on his face.

“I’ll come with you this time Michael.”

***********
“Wait! Max, wait!” Isabel ran to her brother, trying to catch on his long step as he walked toward the facility to check on the other soldier. They had made a plan and will be gone in 5 minutes now.

Michael and him would take a few soldier with them and Matias and Ron would take a few on their own too, while Doran and Hellisar would stay at the house to check on the radar that could detect if Khivar was using his power. They hadn’t see anything yet, but they had decided to enlarge the perimeter; If what Liz had said was true, then Khivar was creating a field around them, meaning he was using his power.

“Max! Stop!”
Isabel stopped beside his brother as she tried to catch her breath after having run on almost 50 meters.
“What’s happening Isabel? Did they saw something on the screen?”

“No, It’s…” She took a deep breath before resuming talking. “Alex told me he would call me every two hours on their way here. I didn’t realize it first, but he already missed two calls! And Max, they went last night, they should be here by now!”

“Oh No!”
She tried to catch his eyes, following his agitated face with her gaze.
“Max, the parents are with him! What if Khivar have them! God Max I’m so afraid.”

He wrapped his arms around her frame, trying to sooth her but his own feeling were betraying him.

************
Liz stood up at the commotion trying to steady herself only with the force of her arms. The green light was still there and was blocking her vision of everything that was happening on the other side. But she could hear everything.

A hole started to form on the green wall and Alex, and the Evans were thrown inside. The hole closed as quickly as it had been opened but she didn’t care less.

She crawled toward the three people that were now lying on the floor. Mr. Evans had taken old of his wife and was helping her to stood up.

“Alex!” Liz’s voice startled the three of them and they realized they weren’t alone for the first time.
Mrs. Evans gasped at the sight of Liz falling back on her husband’s arm.

Liz threw herself into her friend arm, relieve to finally see a friendly face after hours of waiting.
“Liz! Oh my god!”

He wrapped his arms around her small frame trying to sooth her sudden outburst of tears.
“Did they do something to you? Are you okay?”

The Evans were at her side the moment she stepped back from Alex but his arm stayed around her waist trying to kept her shaking body straight.

“Liz, sweetie, since when are you here? Is Max is here too?”
Mrs. Evans couldn’t help asking.

“I’m okay and I think Max is too. The last time I talk to him, he was fine I think. He is outside and I know he will find us. He has too.”
The sureness in her voice was reassuring Diane and Phillip. But the fear that their son could be closed up somewhere here was torturing them.

“What about Zack?”
Liz turned toward Alex, tears running on her face.
“I don’t know Alex. He was with me when they came and I talk to him an hour ago but since that, I don’t know.”

Alex wanted to wrapped his arms back around her shoulder to calm her but he hadn’t the time as she bent down in pain as another contraction ripped her petite body.
She gritted her teeth, trying not to alarm them to much but the pain was worst with every contraction. It was the third she had had since she had talk to Max an hour ago and she knew it would not be long by now.

“Liz! Oh my god! Come on sweetie, you need to sit.”
Once the pain was gone, Liz looked in Diane’s eyes as she quietly talked to her.

“When did the contraction started sweetie? Did Max know you’re in labor?”
“I think active labor started a few hours ago. I have had a contraction just before they caught us. Max knows, he can feel the contractions.”

“Oh my god, Phillip, we have to go out of here!”

The moment the words were out of her mouth, another hole was opened on the green wall and two men grabbed Liz by the arms and started to carry her out of the room.

“Wait! NO! You can’t take her!”
In spite of Alex and Phillip strong struggles, they were soon alone in the room but they could still heard Liz crying for the men to let her go.

Part 22c

“How can you so sure it’s Khivar Max? I mean, we don’t have any clue that your dream was true and we can’t take the risk to drew attention on us if Khivar is around!”

Max sight in frustration. He couldn’t understand that his friend didn’t want to believe him. He knew it wasn’t a dream. And he knew now that his family was in great danger. How could Michael pretend to be his friend and second in command if he couldn’t even trust him?

“It wasn’t a dream Michael! I knew it was possible, we just never used or developed this power that all. But I know it was them Michael: Zack and Liz talked to me. I’m sure he used the same power than when he was on Antar, maybe that’s his gift.”

He turned hopeful eyes toward Hellisar, trying to catch his acknowledgment. The older man look at his king feeling sorry for him.

“It’s technically possible Max. I mean, Zack had probably this power but he must have been really strong to reach you whereas Khivar’s shield was blocking him… So I can’t assure you it was real.”

“Yes it was! I know it was! … And I’m the king; you’re the one who told me that! And I want you to send soldiers in town and started to localize them! Have I been clear enough?”

It was the first time Max used this ton toward Hellisar, as he had always treated the older man as his father. But Isabel, Michael and all those who came from Roswell knew that when he used this ton, his decision would never been reverse by anyone. Cause it was the ton he used when people he love was in danger, and it was definitely the case here.

“Fine.” Was Hellisar only answer. He nodded his head searching for something else t say to his king.

“I’ll see if we can localized something on our screen. If Khivar use his power it would be easier for us to find them.”

Max nodded, realizing he had been harsh, but in the same time, he knew Hellisar and the others had received the message.
He turned toward his friend, seeing an unconvinced look still plastered on his face.

“I’ll come with you this time Michael.”

***********
“Wait! Max, wait!” Isabel ran to her brother, trying to catch on his long step as he walked toward the facility to check on the other soldier. They had made a plan and will be gone in 5 minutes now.

Michael and him would take a few soldier with them and Matias and Ron would take a few on their own too, while Doran and Hellisar would stay at the house to check on the radar that could detect if Khivar was using his power. They hadn’t see anything yet, but they had decided to enlarge the perimeter; If what Liz had said was true, then Khivar was creating a field around them, meaning he was using his power.

“Max! Stop!”
Isabel stopped beside his brother as she tried to catch her breath after having run on almost 50 meters.
“What’s happening Isabel? Did they saw something on the screen?”

“No, It’s…” She took a deep breath before resuming talking. “Alex told me he would call me every two hours on their way here. I didn’t realize it first, but he already missed two calls! And Max, they went last night, they should be here by now!”

“Oh No!”
She tried to catch his eyes, following his agitated face with her gaze.
“Max, the parents are with him! What if Khivar have them! God Max I’m so afraid.”

He wrapped his arms around her frame, trying to sooth her but his own feeling were betraying him.

************
Liz stood up at the commotion trying to steady herself only with the force of her arms. The green light was still there and was blocking her vision of everything that was happening on the other side. But she could hear everything.

A hole started to form on the green wall and Alex, and the Evans were thrown inside. The hole closed as quickly as it had been opened but she didn’t care less.

She crawled toward the three people that were now lying on the floor. Mr. Evans had taken old of his wife and was helping her to stood up.

“Alex!” Liz’s voice startled the three of them and they realized they weren’t alone for the first time.
Mrs. Evans gasped at the sight of Liz falling back on her husband’s arm.

Liz threw herself into her friend arm, relieve to finally see a friendly face after hours of waiting.
“Liz! Oh my god!”

He wrapped his arms around her small frame trying to sooth her sudden outburst of tears.
“Did they do something to you? Are you okay?”

The Evans were at her side the moment she stepped back from Alex but his arm stayed around her waist trying to kept her shaking body straight.

“Liz, sweetie, since when are you here? Is Max is here too?”
Mrs. Evans couldn’t help asking.

“I’m okay and I think Max is too. The last time I talk to him, he was fine I think. He is outside and I know he will find us. He has too.”
The sureness in her voice was reassuring Diane and Phillip. But the fear that their son could be closed up somewhere here was torturing them.

“What about Zack?”
Liz turned toward Alex, tears running on her face.
“I don’t know Alex. He was with me when they came and I talk to him an hour ago but since that, I don’t know.”

Alex wanted to wrapped his arms back around her shoulder to calm her but he hadn’t the time as she bent down in pain as another contraction ripped her petite body.
